Chapter 519: Chapter 519 I Have Evidence Chapter 519: Chapter 519 I Have Evidence “Ayuan, you cannot slander people like that!” Shang Feng was so stung by An Zhiyuan’s sharp words that he could not kneel anymore.
If he kneeled now, everyone would think he had ulterior motives.
He hadn’t expected An Zhiyuan to be even more protective of Bai Xiao than he had imagined.
It seemed today’s events would not go as planned.
“What slander? Uncle Shang, everyone here knows each other, your family has had one son and one daughter for many years. You have never mentioned having a lost daughter. Now suddenly a daughter appears; how can you expect people to believe that?”
“Exactly! It does look like there’s suspicion of faking kinship, isn’t it? Since Doctor Bai is an orphan, without family or relatives, so whatever you say goes, right?”
“I have proof!”
Shang Feng could not let these troublemakers continue spouting nonsense, or the reputation of the Shang Family would be completely destroyed.
He hadn’t come unprepared, had he? Bai Xiao had underestimated Shang Feng’s abilities.
Everyone fell silent.
An Cheng watched as things escalated, wondering what a perfectly good wedding was turning into.
“Old Shang, whatever issues there are can be discussed later. Today is the young couple’s big day. If you wish, stay and have a drink; if not, please leave without dampening the kids’ spirits.” It’s his own son’s big moment; no one should blame An Cheng for stepping in.
“Old An, you have no idea! Bai Xiao is indeed my biological daughter. I cannot stand silently while people point fingers at me. I just want to acknowledge my own daughter, but people speak so ill of me, if I don’t clear up what’s true and what’s false today, what face will I, Shang Feng, have left to live in this world?”
Shang Feng had gone this far; there was no more holding back. His intention was to force Bai Xiao to recognize them at today’s wedding. Whether he had succeeded in pressuring Bai Xiao, he didn’t know, but he had certainly backed himself into a corner.
Today’s truths and falsehoods had to be clarified. If not, which of the dignitaries present at this wedding wasn’t a significant figure?
If Shang Feng wanted to press charges against Bai Xiao, then it would be set in stone. He couldn’t afford such a reputation, nor could the Shang Family. If things were not clarified, it might appear as though Shang Feng was seizing the opportunity to raise his own status, to become in-laws with the An Family.
Although that was indeed what he intended, he absolutely couldn’t admit it.
A man must preserve his face as a tree must preserve its bark.
Even if that was what he intended, he absolutely could not let public opinion turn in that direction.
An Cheng felt an urge to slam the table.
His son’s wedding today was proving to be quite challenging. Just yesterday, before they were even married, knives had already been drawn, and today, the wedding itself was far from peaceful.
His daughter-in-law seemed to really attract trouble.
All sorts of misfortunes seemed to find their way to them.
The bloodshed from yesterday hadn’t settled for long before today a father-in-law had emerged, giving others plenty to talk about.
“So what do you want?”
An Cheng could see that they had come prepared. Even if he silenced them today, chances were, it would all come out in public soon enough.
Shang Feng’s face wore a bitter smile, “Bai Xiao, I didn’t want to do this either. But the fact that I am your biological father, there are people who can testify to that.”
Shang Kaiwen quickly supported the swaying Shang Feng, both resembling characters in a tragic play. Father and daughter looked like a pair who, despite facing countless difficulties, were ready to endure everything to seek the truth as family.
