Chapter 530: 530 Chapter 530: 530 Gu Changshun, that disgusting thing, Wan Ruyan had no intention of marrying him. Wan Ruyan had pondered at home and had made up her mind–today, upon marrying Gu Changshun, during the wedding ceremony, she would claim she had an affair with Gu Ya.
Then, in front of all the guests, she would coerce Gu Ya into marrying her. Even if it meant being a concubine, it was better than being with that bastard Gu Changshun.
Wan Ruyan had always looked down on Gu Changshun. She had scorned him before, and now, even more so with his face full of pustules, Wan Ruyan found him utterly revolting.
First, she planned to make Gu Ya marry her, then step by step she’d replace Su Yunjin and become Gu Ya’s legitimate wife. Wan Ruyan had calculated countless times within the Wan Family.
Her scheme was well thought out, just waiting for the ceremony to announce it. Yet what made Wan Ruyan anxious was that, after lifting her bridal veil and scanning around the hall, she still didn’t see Gu Ya.
Wan Ruyan’s heart was filled with confusion. It was an ill omen for the bride to lift her veil before being escorted to the bridal chamber. Wan Ruyan repeatedly lifted her veil, causing today’s guests to be quite bemused, and Mrs. Zhang’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Initially, Mrs. Zhang was dissatisfied with marrying Wan Ruyan, but now, with Wan Ruyan daring to lift her veil in front of all these guests repeatedly, Mrs. Zhang thought even less of her, considering Wan Ruyan an indecent woman.
The wedding matron finally reminded Wan Ruyan when she lifted her veil again, “Oh dear, Miss Wan, my little ancestor, you haven’t completed the ceremony. How can you lift your veil by yourself?”
While talking, the wedding matron covered Wan Ruyan’s head with the veil again.
Not having seen Gu Ya, how could Wan Ruyan have the mind to continue the ceremony? Finding the veil bothersome, she impulsively tore it off.
“No more bowing, no more bowing. Indeed, the poorer the people, the more rules they have. With no money, there’s a plethora of ridiculous rules.” Wan Ruyan was full of sarcasm.
As soon as she finished speaking, not only Mrs. Zhang but also Gu Changshun by her side turned an immediate shade darker. Had it not been for the presence of so many guests, both Gu Changshun and Mrs. Zhang would have exploded with anger.
With the veil in the way before, Wan Ruyan couldn’t find Gu Ya. Now that she had lifted it, she looked around and realized that Gu Ya was not there at all.
Isn’t Gu Changshun Gu Ya’s own nephew?
How could Gu Ya not attend his own nephew’s wedding banquet?
Wan Ruyan was incredulous, and Mrs. Zhang angrily said, “Miss Wan, is this how the Wan Family teaches manners? If one didn’t know any better, they might think that Miss Wan has no upbringing at all.”
Mrs. Zhang attempted to suppress Wan Ruyan by assuming the role of an in-law, but little did she expect, Wan Ruyan had no respect for her authority, nor did she regard her as a proper mother-in-law.
“Mrs. Zhang? Who are you saying has no upbringing? Pah, you say I’m ill-bred; have you seen what kind of person your son is? I wouldn’t fancy him even if he were the last man on earth.”
With Gu Ya not being there, Wan Ruyan no longer wished to proceed with the ceremony. Turning to the guests who had come for the Zhang family’s banquet, Wan Ruyan declared loudly, “Listen up, I, Wan Ruyan, am not getting married today. I am going back to my parents’ home right now.”
After Wan Ruyan had spoken, she tried to leave, which left all the guests who were there to celebrate the wedding utterly bewildered. It was their first time witnessing a bride back out halfway through her own wedding.
Wan Ruyan refusing to marry suddenly had both Mrs. Zhang and the Gu Changshun Family losing face. After the shock, the guests all began to relish in the spectacle.
While the Gu Family’s celebration turned into a fiasco, on the other hand, Su Yunjin was unaware that last night Gu Ya had already helped her clear the rumors with the Magistrate.
After having chicken soup, Su Yunjin intended to look for the Magistrate herself, but Gu Ya pulled her back.
