Chapter 92: Not a drop of alcohol touched, all for the wedding night?
The wedding proceeded as planned.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire military region in the shortest possible time.
Gu Beichen was even more decisive. While arranging the wedding venue, he quietly gave a few instructions to his bodyguard, Xiao Wang.
Soon, an "insider" casually revealed the news within the military compound:
"Have you heard? Commander Gu's wedding is going ahead as planned! The bride somehow got hold of a new dress, and I hear it's even prettier than the original one!"
This news naturally reached Zhang Sisi's ears as well.
She was gloating in her dormitory, waiting to see Su Yue become the laughing stock of the entire military region, when she heard this and smashed the cup in her hand on the ground with a "crack".
"impossible!"
Zhang Sisi's face instantly contorted. "The wedding dress is burned to ashes, what is she going to use for the wedding? Pretending to be calm! Yes, she must be pretending to be calm!"
Jealousy and resentment gnawed at her heart like venomous snakes.
She didn't believe it! She absolutely didn't believe Su Yue could turn the tables!
She wanted to see it for herself!
She was going to go to the wedding in person and expose Su Yue's ridiculous lie in front of everyone, to see how she would handle the situation!
10:00 AM, Military Region Auditorium.
Guests gathered in large numbers, and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.
The moment the wedding march began, everyone's eyes were drawn to the entrance of the hall.
The door slowly opened.
Su Yue, arm in arm with her grandfather, walked in step by step, bathed in sunlight.
When everyone saw the unique "phoenix wedding dress" she was wearing, the entire hall erupted in uncontrollable gasps and exclamations of admiration.
"My goodness! What an amazing wedding dress!"
"It's so beautiful! I've never seen such beautiful clothes in my life!"
"This isn't just burned; it's been reborn from the ashes!"
Zhang Sisi, who was hiding in a corner of the crowd, was completely stunned when she saw this scene.
She stared intently at Su Yue's dazzling wedding dress. The golden phoenix seemed to be mocking her overestimation of her abilities, and the red plum blossoms were like resounding slaps to her face.
Jealousy was like a red-hot iron, burning her insides with pain.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, and her eyes were bloodshot, almost dripping blood.
how so?
Why?
Why is this woman always so lucky?!
Why should I?!
Overwhelmed by resentment and bitterness, she lost her last shred of reason and, as if possessed, burst out of the crowd, pointing at Su Yue and screaming.
"It's fake! It must be fake! Her wedding dress was burned to ashes long ago. You've all been fooled! This wasn't hand-sewn by a famous master craftsman from Shanghai at all!"
The sudden scream silenced the entire auditorium instantly.
All the guests stared in astonishment at the woman who had suddenly gone mad.
Su Yue's grandfather instinctively shielded Su Yue behind him, frowning as he looked at Zhang Sisi.
Su Yue remained calm. She simply patted her grandfather's arm gently to reassure him, then looked at Zhang Sisi with a cold gaze, as if she were looking at a clown.
Gu Beichen's face instantly darkened, his eyes turning as cold as ice.
He didn't even glance at Zhang Sisi, but merely tilted his head slightly towards the guard Xiao Wang in the corner.
Xiao Wang immediately understood, and led two neatly dressed soldiers to Zhang Sisi. With swift and decisive movements, he grabbed her from both sides.
"What are you doing! Let me go!" Zhang Sisi struggled frantically. "Gu Beichen! Are you going to protect her for this woman? She doesn't have a wedding dress at all! You've all been fooled!"
Xiao Wang, expressionless, spoke in a low but clear voice that echoed throughout the auditorium: "Comrade Zhang Sisi, you are suspected of maliciously damaging military family property and spreading rumors. Please come with us for investigation."
These words caused an uproar in the audience!
"Military property? Could it be that wedding dress from before...?"
"I heard about it, she's the one who burned it! She's truly insatiable!"
"Tsk tsk, look at her, she's like a mad dog, she's really a disgrace."
The surrounding whispers surged towards Zhang Sisi like a tidal wave. She was completely stunned, her face ashen, and she shook her head repeatedly: "No... I didn't! You're making false accusations! Where's the evidence? What evidence do you have!"
"The evidence will be shown to you after the investigation."
Xiao Wang stopped arguing with her, gave a wink to the two people on either side, and dragged Zhang Sisi, who was still throwing a tantrum, out.
"I didn't! Let me go! Su Yue, you bitch, you'll die a horrible death—"
With a bang, the auditorium doors slammed shut, completely shutting out the vicious curses.
The farce ended just like that, swiftly and decisively.
The auditorium fell silent for a moment, then erupted in even more enthusiastic applause.
Gu Beichen held Su Yue's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined. He looked down at his bride, the coldness in his eyes melting into a gentle spring.
"I'm sorry, I startled you."
Su Yue shook her head and winked at him playfully: "It's nothing, it's just that the drums and gongs seem to be beating particularly loudly today."
Gu Beichen chuckled softly, his chest trembling slightly.
He led her by the hand, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they walked step by step toward the altar.
The wedding continues.
At the wedding ceremony, Mr. Huo Zhengshan, as the officiant, stood on the stage, looking at the perfect couple below, filled with emotion.
"In my life, I have seen countless talented young people, but I have never seen a couple as perfect as Bei Chen and Su Yue."
Old Mr. Huo's voice was loud and kind.
"One is a combat hero who defends the country, and the other is a medical genius who heals the sick. Su Yue is not only highly skilled in medicine, but her character is also a role model for all of us. She is a treasure of our military region, and a blessing that Bei Chen has accumulated over several lifetimes!"
The audience erupted in applause.
As a bridesmaid, Yang Yiyi was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears. Her best man, Yun Mu, stood as straight as a wooden stake, but his eyes, which were always looking at Yang Yiyi, held an irrepressible smile.
It was the groom's turn to take his vows.
Gu Beichen took the microphone. He didn't look at anyone; his deep gaze was fixed only on Su Yue's face.
His usually calm and composed voice trembled slightly, yet remained incredibly firm.
"I, Gu Beichen, will only love Su Yue in this life."
"My life belongs to the country, but my heart, my person, and everything I have belong to you."
"From now on, wherever I am, no one will dare to bully you."
There are no fancy words, only the simplest and most heartfelt promises.
Every single military spouse present was filled with envy.
Su Yue's maternal grandfather, Old Master Chen, solemnly handed Su Yue's hand to Gu Beichen.
He patted Gu Beichen on the shoulder, then looked at his granddaughter, his eyes full of love and satisfaction.
"Yueyue, let bygones be bygones. From today onward, you have your own home, and you are to write your own future."
The wedding banquet was a lively and festive occasion.
Gu Beichen didn't drink a drop of alcohol and blocked all the people who came to toast him from his presence.
