Lu Jingchen’s face instantly turned cold and indifferent. There were quite a few people attending the wedding, all from An City’s upper circle, mostly partners of CK Group, and everyone had brought their wives or companions.
Women generally have a tendency for gossip, wherever there are women, there will be gossip, and with gossip comes a buzz of discussion. Soon, the crowd started to speculate about the meaning behind Murong Rui’s words.
As the pointed-at female lead, Song Qiao was completely at a loss, unable to understand what Murong Rui meant. Her gaze fell directly on the girl below the stage, and after biting her lip, she spoke coolly, "I don’t know what you’re talking about? Isn’t my identity plain for all to see? What other identity could I have? And about the things you’re saying about the Song Family, could you please clarify?"
Today was supposed to be her and Lu Jingchen’s wedding, but suddenly this girl appeared and halted the ceremony, saying these baffling words. Song Qiao felt that if there were truly any issues, they must be explained clearly. Otherwise, she couldn’t bear to suffer such grievances without reason.
Perhaps it was Song Qiao’s words or tone that made Murong Rui excited; before Lu Jingchen could speak, she had already pointed at Song Qiao in her wedding dress and clearly articulated word by word, "Just you? What qualifications do you have to marry Brother Jingchen? Not even considering yourself, you’re unworthy of Brother Jingchen, let alone being the daughter of those two scumbags from the Song Family. You probably don’t know what your so-called father and mother really did, right? Of course, how could they ever tell you? Doing such things worse than animals could, only those two wretched beings could accomplish..."
Upon hearing her words, Song Qiao’s face turned cold instantly; she could be berated, she could silently endure without rebuttal, but she would never let anyone insult her mother.
Biting her lip, her voice abruptly changed, "You can insult me, but what right do you have to insult my mother? Is this how your mother taught you?"
Besides, the insults were so unpleasant that Song Qiao almost couldn’t restrain herself from rushing up to fight with Murong Rui. Thankfully, she remembered that today was her wedding with Lu Jingchen, and she was still wearing a wedding dress. It wasn’t appropriate for her to do something that would tarnish her image as a lady.
Murong Rui laughed mockingly at her words and said with an eerie tone, "My mother died early, and it was your parents who caused my parents’ death. So indeed, no one taught me, and perhaps you didn’t know? My parents were also Brother Jingchen’s foster parents."
Song Qiao froze where she stood, Murong Rui’s words echoing in her ears. For a moment, she forgot everything, her face turning stark white, her eyes filled with disbelief, making her step back involuntarily.
Her parents caused the death of Murong Rui’s parents? And they were Lu Jingchen’s foster parents?
In fact, Song had heard about certain things, especially the things her father had done in the past, which naturally were those unspeakable things. But she was too young back then to truly take it to heart.
Listening to Murong Rui’s words now, although not shocked to the core, she was still frightened, her face turning a bit pale as she was naturally reluctant to believe what she heard.
Yet, with the things she’d inadvertently overheard before, it was hard not to believe them.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Lu Jingchen, only to discover his face was tight with a cold and unforgiving expression, looking somewhat gloomy, as if it could drip water.
She suddenly recalled their first meeting, where she cornered him into marriage on the street. At that time, he seemed only slightly surprised before agreeing immediately.
Back then, Song Qiao couldn’t understand why Lu Jingchen agreed so easily; now it seemed he must have known she was the Song Family’s eldest daughter.
Previously, Song’s father said that the reason Lu Jingchen married her was entirely for a purpose, and didn’t Zuo Yuqing say the same?
With all these incidents linking together, considering how Lu Jingchen treated her poorly before, seemingly deliberately tormenting her, could it be that Lu Jingchen wanted to use her to get revenge on the Song Family?
