Qu Jingyun quickly squeezed to Qi Mingyuan's side, and patted his back with a worried look on his face.
"Mingyuan, what's wrong? Don't be anxious. If you have anything to say, just talk slowly. Today is the auspicious day for Shengzhi and Feiying to get married. Don't get yourself into trouble."
"Shengzhi, you are such a fool! Why can't you just be quiet on a day like today? Look how angry your dad is!"
Qi Mingyuan was obviously very angry. He didn't expect that Qi Shengzhi could cause him such an ugly trouble at this time.
His face flushed red, and his chest heaved violently. He wanted to yell at Qi Shengzhi, the hopeless fellow, but considering that there were so many prominent figures present, many of whom were his business partners, he forced himself to hold it in.
He took a deep breath, pointed at Qi Shengzhi who was "among thousands of flowers" and asked:
"I'll give you one chance to explain clearly in front of your father-in-law and wife what's going on."
Qi Shengzhi frowned. It was easy to explain this matter clearly, but he was photographed without even realizing it. This was what made him unhappy.
Qu Jingyun seized the opportunity and began her performance:
"Oh, this... isn't this Sheng Zhi? Why is he hanging out with a group of women, and in a place like this..."
"This, is this Feiying? The man next to Feiying is wearing a military uniform, and he's not Shengzhi..."
"Shut up!"
Qi Mingyuan was furious. Was Qu Jingyun afraid that everyone present couldn't see clearly enough and was going to explain it again?!
Qu Jingyun said aggrievedly:
"Why are you yelling at me? It's not me who did these shameful things, why are you taking it out on me?"
Qi Mingyuan felt that he had lost all face today. He could hear a lot of whispers during the meal, and several important business partners were shaking their heads with surprised expressions, obviously dissatisfied with the Qi family's family style.
But Qu Jingyun didn't act like a hostess at this time. She didn't know how to stabilize the situation and was fanning the flames. Did she really think he couldn't see through her clumsy tricks?
Normally it would be fine if he was jealous of others at home, he just took it as a way to suppress Qi Shengzhi's arrogance, but now he has lost face in public and he is still unaware of it. He is so stupid!
The atmosphere at the wedding banquet suddenly dropped to freezing point. The guests were in an awkward position, not knowing whether to sit or leave.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears, breaking the deadlock with a relaxed tone:
"Dad, no need to explain. I was there that day too."
"Country A has a custom before marriage called a pre-wedding party, where young people get together to sing and dance to celebrate for the newlyweds. When I mentioned this to Sheng Zhi that day, he helped me find a place where I could invite my friends to sing and dance together. They are all my friends, and we were just celebrating our marriage together. That's why Sheng Zhi was smiling so happily. I didn't expect this to be misunderstood."
When Yue Feiying said this, everyone present was shocked.
Even Qu Jingyun thought that Qi Shengzhi would find various excuses to exonerate himself, but he never expected that Yue Feiying would stand up to explain for him.
Qi Mingyuan was the first to come back to his senses. His eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Yue Feiying with eyes full of love and appreciation.
She is indeed a lady from a noble family!
Regardless of whether Yue Feiying was telling the truth or lying, the fact that she could defend Qi Shengzhi in public was to protect the reputation of their Qi family, so they had made the right decision to marry this daughter-in-law!
Qi Shengzhi also looked at Yue Feiying in surprise. There was not a single word of truth in what she said just now, and her tone sounded so real. Even he couldn't help but doubt whether she was really there.
Qu Jingyun's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard. How could this be possible?!
She took the photo and questioned:
"Are you in here? Why don't I see you?"
Yue Feiying was not at all flustered. She casually pointed at a figure in the deepest shadow and said:
"Here, this is me!"
Qu Jingyun was almost out of anger and laughed at her rogue pointing. The only thing visible on the person Yue Feiying pointed at was a pair of feet. How could she prove that it was her!
"I can't even see this person's face, how can I prove it's you?"
Yue Feiying laughed out loud as if she had heard a joke:
"Aunt Qu, that's a really strange question. Do I need to see my own face clearly before I know that person is me?"
"Besides, why do I need to prove to you that the person is me? Or is it because you took the photo, so you are sure that the person in the photo is not me?"
Yue Feiying's words were truly heartbreaking. She directly threw the blame on Qu Jingyun in front of Qi Mingyuan. Qi Mingyuan's face immediately turned bad, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at Qu Jingyun.
Qu Jingyun broke out in a cold sweat under Qi Mingyuan's intimidating gaze. He regretted that he did not keep his composure and was provoked by Yue Feiying's few words, which aroused Qi Mingyuan's suspicion.
She quickly distanced herself from the matter and said:
"How could I possibly have filmed this? I just really want to confirm it clearly, so that everyone can believe what you said and stop any unpleasant rumors from spreading."
"I was confused. You were there, so of course you knew which one was me. Just explain this little misunderstanding."
Seeing his mother being bullied by Yue Feiying in front of everyone, and remembering Qu Jingyun complaining that he didn't speak up for her, Qi Guangyao couldn't swallow this anger and stood up and said sarcastically:
"Of course my brother was kind enough to celebrate for you, but what about you? The photo clearly shows that the man you were hugging and tugging at was not my brother!"
Qu Jingyun turned around abruptly, wishing she could sew Qi Guangyao's mouth shut—this unfortunate child, mute when he should be talking, and then grows a mouth when he shouldn't?!
Didn't you see the look in his father's eyes as if he wanted to swallow them whole?!
Qi Shengzhi also recognized Lu Zhan at this moment. Looking at the photo, Yue Feiying was staring at Lu Zhan with starry eyes like an infatuated fan. She looked like two completely different people compared to her calm and relaxed appearance in front of him at any time. He felt a little jealous.
But he is not the kind of ungrateful person. Although he doesn't know the reason, Yue Feiying just stood up to defend herself in front of everyone, so he certainly won't take advantage of her at this time.
But he couldn't think of how to help her out for a while.
Qi Guangyao saw his brother's frown and cold expression, thinking that his words had touched his heart, and said with more pride:
"Brother, you should be thankful that you found out early. If you had found out later, maybe she would have been with this wild man..."
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Two loud slaps sounded almost at the same time. Qi Guangyao, who was caught in the middle, felt stars in his eyes and his head buzzing.
