The air seemed to stand still for a moment, and the entire wedding hall was unusually quiet.

Zhou Ling portrays Zhou Chen as a villain who destroys beautiful love, influencing those unaware of the truth to feel sympathy and anger.

The next moment,

Zhou Ling suddenly changed the subject, talking about the person she wanted to thank the most, immediately drawing everyone's attention back to her.

"Actually, the person I want to thank the most is my second sister. Although she is busy with her studies, she never neglects to care for me, especially after our parents passed away unexpectedly, when my second sister became the pillar of the family..."

Zhou Ling praised Zhou Na at length, even shamelessly stating that Zhou Na had become the pillar of the family.

Some of the older neighbors looked on with flickering eyes, but because it was Zhou Ling's wedding, they didn't say anything to refute her.

That was exactly what Zhou Ling was planning, so she spoke about it with considerable arrogance.

When talking about Zhou Chuan, they kept silent about the slanderous things Zhou Chuan had done. Instead, they talked about how Zhou Chuan, though naughty and immature, cared for her as his older sister. They described the deep affection between the three siblings in great detail and with great depth.

Those present who were unaware of what was going on were deeply moved by what they heard.

I have a good impression of Zhou Na and Zhou Chuan.

"Brother Chen, she must have done it on purpose. She deliberately said nice things about those two people, and then didn't say a word to you. I think this differential treatment is to get revenge on you."

As an outsider who knew the inside story, Li Kaile quickly realized what was going on and became furious.

Perhaps the people present didn't realize it at first, but they would soon realize that Zhou Ling's words had a hidden meaning, setting a trap for Zhou Chen, making him a laughing stock.

Zhou Chen remained unmoved, his face still showing no sign of being surprised by praise or criticism, because he had experienced this scene before. The only difference from his previous life was that he hadn't completely broken ties with his three siblings back then.

Zhou Ling is now trying to highlight his shortcomings through comparison. In terms of severity, he is actually worse than in the previous life. Moreover, many people know about what Zhou Ling did in this life, and they may reflect on Zhou Ling's words. After all, you three siblings are just adopted children of the Zhou family. Why should you expect Zhou Chen, your biological son, to be good to you three outsiders?

“Zhou Ling, it’s understandable that they treat you well, since you’re siblings. But it’s not fair for you to complain that Zhou Chen treats you badly because of this.”

At this moment, a male student from a high school suddenly stood up and spoke out for justice. He seemed to have been prepared in advance, holding a megaphone, which made his voice instantly spread throughout the entire venue.

These words immediately interrupted Zhou Ling, who was speaking emotionally.

The male student continued to shout through the megaphone: "You three are adopted sons, and instead of being grateful, you made sarcastic remarks about your adoptive parents' biological sons at the wedding. You are utterly inhuman. Don't forget, you did so many things to slander Zhou Chen, yet Zhou Chen still chose to attend your wedding and didn't hold it against you. But look at what you did and said. Don't you think it's despicable and shameless?"

Whoosh...

These subsequent remarks caused an uproar and were a slap in the face to Zhou Ling, implying that Zhou Na and Zhou Chuan were also guilty of the same thing. Of course, this statement is indeed true.

Zhou Ling's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected that Zhou Chen himself hadn't said anything, but an outsider had jumped out and publicly condemned her, making her feel embarrassed.

"You're talking nonsense, it's not like that at all."

Zhou Ling immediately tried to argue her way out. Seeing this, Zhao Kun, who was standing to the side, immediately asked the staff in the banquet hall to expel the person.

"Get him out of here. He's not welcome at my wedding."

Zhao Kun addressed the staff with a grim expression.

Faced with the service staff trying to expel him, the male student continued to shout through a megaphone: "Zhou Ling, you were right, weren't you? Otherwise, what are you feeling guilty about? You want to kick me out? Do you think I really wanted to attend your wedding? I just came to see you make a fool of yourself. You are despicable and shameless, having done so many despicable things, yet you turn around and criticize others. You have a really thick skin. You can only fool those unsuspecting outsiders. Everyone in Fanjia County knows that you three siblings are ungrateful wretches."

"Let me tell you, what goes around comes around. You disloyal, unfilial, and unjust piece of trash will be punished by heaven sooner or later. The Zhao family is incredibly unlucky to have married a woman like you."

As the male student was forcibly taken away, the last words came from the loudspeaker.

Just a second ago, everyone was absorbed in Zhou Ling's words, but after hearing this, they were somewhat confused, unsure of who was telling the truth.

then,

Some people started asking those around them for advice, and since there were quite a few classmates from No. 1 High School present, they briefly recounted the things that Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan had done to wrong Zhou Chen.

Many of Zhao's relatives, who had come from afar to attend the wedding, were abuzz with gossip upon hearing that Zhou Ling, a young girl, had done something so ungrateful.

Public opinion shifted instantly.

Zhou Ling tried to make Zhou Chen a laughing stock in public, but in the end, she shot herself in the foot again.

Zhao Kun watched as many of Zhao's relatives rushed to his mother, Old Mrs. Zhao, and said something. Old Mrs. Zhao's face was extremely ugly, and he knew that they all had opinions about Zhou Ling and were trying to dissuade them.

This can't go on.

Zhao Kun didn't want his wedding to turn into a farce, so he immediately gave the emcee a look, and the emcee took control of the situation through the microphone.

Fortunately, thanks to his strong ability to control the situation, he managed to stop the discussion and divert everyone's attention by proceeding with the next step of the ceremony.

Let's leave what just happened behind for now.

As each segment concluded, Grandma Zhao took the stage.

As Zhao's daughter-in-law, Zhou Ling served tea to Old Madam Zhao. When Old Madam Zhao saw Zhou Ling kneeling in front of her, she did not immediately drink the tea. Instead, she took the microphone from the host, announced the Zhao family rules, and asked Zhou Ling if she could abide by them.

Zhou Ling bit her lip, knowing that Old Mrs. Zhao was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Now, they're taking this opportunity to retaliate.

If she doesn't agree, the wedding can't go on, and Zhou Chen will only have a laugh at him.

At this moment, Zhou Ling could only swallow her anger and resentment.

Smiling, she called out "Mom," indicating her willingness to listen to the old lady.

Zhou Chen witnessed this scene and found it amusing. Of course, Old Mrs. Zhao's setting of rules was just an appetizer; the real surprise was yet to come.

However, he was still somewhat puzzled by the fact that the boy had brought a loudspeaker to the wedding.

It looks like it was prepared in advance.

"Brother Chen, that person was actually someone I found."

Li Kaile once again took the initiative to explain that he anticipated what Zhou Ling might say, and then asked her to prepare a loudspeaker.

Unexpectedly, it actually worked.

"That's thoughtful of you. I'll invite him out tonight and treat him to dinner."

Zhou Chen nodded, praising Li Kaile while also thanking the righteous male classmate from earlier. Without him, Zhou Ling would have been even more smug.

Li Kaile chuckled after receiving the praise, scratched the back of his head, and said it was no problem.
