Chapter 29
The Yu and Shen families have been doing business for many years.
Bargaining is an ingrained instinct for businessmen.
As the saying goes, if you propose to open the windows, there will always be people who object; but if you propose to tear down the house, they will agree to open the windows.
So if Chen Fengni negotiated with both families in a friendly manner, hoping for a peaceful breakup, it would not be easy. Even if she managed to break free, she would still have to shed some skin.
But if she disrupts things directly, ruins the wedding, makes things worse, and makes everything irreparable, and is regarded as a lunatic by everyone, then people will have no intention of getting entangled with her and will just want to get rid of her as soon as possible.
After all, the Shen family doesn't need a crazy daughter, and the Yu family won't accept a crazy bride.
As long as she could escape, she didn't care what others thought of her.
After Shen Fengni finished speaking, she saw the wonderful expressions on everyone's faces as she wished.
She saw that the faces of both parents were terribly gloomy. If there were no other relatives nearby to stop them from escalating the conflict, they would probably have rushed onto the stage and scolded her.
She saw that the emcee was sweating profusely with anxiety, and kept winking at Yu Qian, asking her to quickly coax the willful bride, complete the ceremony as soon as possible, and not bring shame to the two families.
She also saw that Yu Qian's eyes were red with anger and the veins on her forehead were exposed, but for the sake of face, she suppressed her temper and urged her in a low voice to nod and agree.
Everyone's reaction was as expected, except...
Shen Fengni looked into those deep dark blue eyes.
Jiang Zhuoyan was the only surprise.
Why did she do this?
Shen Fengni's thoughts were in a mess and she couldn't figure it out at all.
Other people at the scene were also confused.
After Jiang Zhuoyan said "I want," the noise in the room suddenly stopped, and even the sound of breathing became clearly audible. Everyone was almost shocked. They looked at Shen Fengni on the stage and then at Jiang Zhuoyan below. No one dared to speak first.
The sound of high heels could be heard in the silent auditorium.
Jiang Zhuoyan stood up and walked towards the stage step by step.
Her expression was cold, but her steps were brisk, and the hem of her skirt rose in a light arc behind her, like petals dancing in the wind.
The people sitting on both sides of the aisle moved to the side as if they were afraid of being burned by her aura, not daring to breathe.
Seeing that the person was already in front of her, Yu Qian gritted her teeth and tried her best to sound polite, "Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?"
Jiang Zhuoyan glanced at her and said calmly, "It means exactly what it says."
"Mr. Jiang, you and Feng Ni are friends, right? Did she say something to you that caused you to misunderstand me?"
Yu Qian's mind raced, trying to salvage the situation. "Feng Ni and I are in love with each other. Maybe I didn't do something right and made her angry, which is why she's throwing a tantrum. I understand you wanting to protect your friend, but there's nothing wrong with our relationship. You don't have to worry about her."
Chen Fengni almost laughed out loud. Sometimes she really admired Yu Qian's psychological quality and ability to make up stories. Outsiders who didn't know the hidden story would think that she was being unreasonable after hearing these words, but Yu Qian gently tolerated her.
However, this seemingly heartfelt speech gave Shen Fengni time to regain her sanity. She temporarily put aside her doubts about Jiang Zhuoyan and spoke first before Jiang Zhuoyan replied.
"No, we have no feelings at all."
Under Yu Qian's astonished gaze, Shen Fengni spoke with a scorching gaze, "You have been lying to me all along, both in your relationship and in your career. Yu Qian, I will never marry you."
Jiang Zhuoyan's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes when he looked at Chen Fengni.
But she still didn't speak, just listened to the conversation between the two in silence.
Yu Qian opened her eyes wide in surprise. Although she appeared to be calm on the surface, her heart was in turmoil.
How could Shen Fengni, who had been so well-behaved and docile just a few days ago, suddenly wake up and question her at the wedding? Furthermore, how did Shen Fengni know all this? And what was going on with Jiang Zhuoyan?
Yu Qian had many questions in her mind, but she was too guilty to say anything. She could only raise her voice in a pretentious manner, "Chen Fengni, do you know what you are saying?"
"Of course I know." Shen Fengni said calmly, "Yu Qian, I received some interesting text messages a few days ago, and I'm sharing them with you now."
She paused, then spoke loudly in front of everyone.
“Miss Shen, you should be able to guess who I am, right?”
"Xiao Yu and I have been together for more than a month. She loves me very much and treats me very well."
…
Although these were the text messages Shen Fengni received in her previous life, there were always women around Yu Qian, so it was not unfair to her.
As Chen Fengni repeated the story, she observed Yu Qian's expression, watching that gorgeous and flamboyant face change from guilty conscience to panic, and then to anger and humiliation.
"Chen Fengni, don't talk nonsense, you..."
"Yu Qian, you should know who sent me these text messages."
Shen Fengni suddenly raised her voice, trying to suppress Yu Qian's voice.
Her red lips curved up into a playful smile, "Or maybe you just can't remember which one it is."
The scene erupted in an uproar, the atmosphere uncontrollable. While such incidents were not uncommon in the business world, to have such a complete disregard for the consequences, and to have it brought to light at a wedding, was truly unheard of.
The guests in the audience were whispering to each other, and some even started pointing and talking without any hesitation.
The mocking gaze was like a knife cutting into his body. Yu Qian froze in place, a layer of sweat already on his forehead.
She never dreamed that Shen Fengni, who was like a little white rabbit on weekdays, would suddenly bite her hard, hitting her right in the vital spot, leaving her completely at a loss as to how to react.
"Feng Ni, are you too tired?"
Two figures hurriedly walked forward through the crowd.
They are Shen Fengni's parents.
The two of them looked very ugly, and they suppressed their anger with the last bit of rationality. "Come back with us to rest first. The wedding will be suspended."
Shen Fengni had anticipated such a tug-of-war, but she was also aware that she would never back down.
She said: "It's not suspended, it's cancelled."
After she finished speaking, she raised her arm with force, and the tray containing the rings in the emcee's hand was knocked to the ground. The two diamond rings flew far away, making a series of crisp sounds on the marble floor, and also shattered the last bit of sanity of Shen's parents.
Father Shen could no longer control himself and said angrily: “What are you doing!”
Shen Fengni emphasized her tone and repeated, "The wedding is canceled."
"Chen Fengni, come back with me! Now!"
Father Shen was almost mad with anger, and immediately reached out to pull her, trying to take her away by force.
Just as Shen Fengni was about to dodge, a figure stood in front of her.
Jiang Zhuoyan took a step forward and separated her from the two people who were about to pounce on her.
His lean and upright figure, with his spine stretched straight, looked like a sharp blade sealed in a glacier, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.
Her heart palpitated for a moment, and Shen Fengni's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Complex emotions surged in my chest, including gratitude, emotion, but more of confusion.
Jiang Zhuoyan and her just met by chance, how could it come to this?
Although Father Shen was angry, he did not dare to offend the Jiang family. He immediately slowed down his tone and said, "Mr. Jiang, my daughter is ignorant and made a fool of herself. I..."
Jiang Zhuoyan didn't react at all, as if he didn't exist at all.
She turned to Shen Fengni and said calmly, "Come with me."
After saying that, she stretched out an arm towards Shen Fengni.
Shen Fengni subconsciously reached up, her fingertips touching the cool, delicate skin, and it felt as if a subtle electric current flowed through her body. She took a deep breath, suppressing the tension in her heart.
The two of them walked down the stairs together and walked towards the exit along the red carpet.
No one stopped him, and no one dared to stop him.
The guests on both sides seemed to have faded into the background, becoming blurry and indistinct. Only Jiang Zhuoyan was clearly visible, like a beam of light splitting the darkness.
As Chen Fengni followed Jiang Zhuoyan through the crowd, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
She quickly recalled where this familiarity came from.
When she first played "Jiang Hu Nuo", she didn't know the way and was not familiar with the operations, so Zhezhi often took her to various places, explained the plot to her, and taught her how to complete tasks.
A broken branch is the most gentle teacher, never impatient; a broken branch is also the sharpest knife, always dealing with incoming opponents cleanly and neatly.
The entire server knew that Zhezhi was a high-level player, so sometimes when the two of them passed by groups of three or four hostile players, those people did not dare to attack first.
Just like now.
The white-clad heroine in his memory and the figure in front of him overlapped, making Shen Fengni feel slightly dazed.
It wasn't until she left the auditorium with Jiang Zhuoyan and got into the car that she came to her senses.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you so much for what you did just now."
Shen Fengni thanked the people around her solemnly, "If you hadn't stepped forward to help me out, I wouldn't have been able to leave so easily."
She had already prepared for a violent breakout, even going so far as to tie her phone to her thigh while going to the bathroom. If she couldn't leave, she would immediately tear off her wedding dress and call the police.
Jiang Zhuoyan's appearance gave her courage and dignity, allowing her to leave safely without ending up in a miserable state.
"It's just a small favor, you're welcome."
Jiang Zhuoyan replied calmly without giving any explanation for his behavior.
It's as if he really just saw injustice and wanted to help.
The scene outside the window flew by, and the sunlight filtered through the glass, casting light and dark shadows on her face.
Shen Fengni was extremely confused, but didn't know where to start.
She opened her mouth and uttered a light question, "Mr. Jiang, where are we going?"
"To my house."
Jiang Zhuoyan's answer startled her again. Before she could react, she heard the person next to her continue, "I have something to show you."
