Upon hearing Liu Lifen's earth-shattering statement, not only Chen Suwen, but all the guests who came to the wedding banquet perked up.
Did they pick up the wrong bride?
The bride's name was indeed Fu Guilan, but isn't this one?
Chen Suwen had never seen the bride before; in fact, very few people on Guangming Road had ever seen what the Wang family's bride looked like.
"Wrongly boarded the bridal sedan chair but married the right groom? Or a substitute bride?"
After hearing Liu Lifen's question, Chen Suwen pulled her husband aside to gossip.
Wow, I never expected to see such a spectacle while attending a wedding banquet!
If the bride isn't Fu Guilan, then who is she?
Chen Suwen pulled her husband closer to the bride so they could get a better view of the spectacle.
Zhou Qingyun indulged her, though he also really wanted to see a high-definition version of the show.
"Explain yourself clearly. You are not Fu Guilan. Where is Fu Guilan? Why are you wearing a bride's dress?"
Liu Lifen was extremely irritable. She had spent so much on the bride price for her son to get married, but he had married the wrong person. How could she not be irritable?
"Auntie, do you mean she's not the bride?"
In the wedding procession, Liu Lifen's nephew was puzzled by his aunt's question.
“But when we arrived at the Fu family’s house, the entire family saw her off and dressed her up. They didn’t say we had picked up the wrong person.” Liu Lifen’s nephew recalled the Fu family’s attitude when they picked up the bride before. It was definitely not their intention to pick up the wrong bride.
The bride kept her head down and didn't speak. Liu Lifen's nephews and her husband's nephews all looked at her, asking, "What exactly happened? Did your Fu family commit marriage fraud?"
"Your Fu family accepted so much betrothal money from our family, and now you think you can just push someone out and call it a day?"
The bride kept her head down and didn't say anything; she clearly had nothing to say.
"Explain yourself, who exactly are you?"
Liu Lifen, unable to control her temper, stepped forward, grabbed the bride by the collar, and demanded, "Tell me! Who are you? Where is Fu Guilan?"
The bride was frightened and answered her questioning timidly, "Fu... Fu... my cousin... she got married."
Liu Lifen's eyes widened. "What did you say?"
"If Fu Guilan is going to get married, she'll marry my son. What do you mean by that?"
The bride looked like she was about to cry, her voice trembling with sobs, "My cousin... my cousin is already married... she's already got her marriage certificate."
Even if she got the marriage certificate, the Wang family couldn't force her to get a divorce from her husband and then marry Wang Laoxiao, could they?
"What does the Fu family mean by this? Fu Guilan is married? Who did she marry?"
Back then, her family made it clear to the Fu family that her son, Wang Laoxiao, would marry Fu Guilan.
Fu Guilan is her son's classmate. She met Fu Guilan in person when they were first set up, but now she's doing this to her.
What does this mean?
"Tell me! Who did Fu Guilan marry?" Liu Lifen forcefully pulled on the bride's collar, demanding an answer.
“With…with Deputy Factory Director Yang,” the bride answered with her eyes closed. “Yang Donghua, the deputy factory director of the food factory.”
Liu Lifen released her grip in shock. The bride, her neck loosened, quickly clutched her own neck, thinking she had just been strangled.
"Well done, Fu Guilan is really something." Liu Lifen gritted her teeth, her hatred for Fu Guilan growing wildly.
The look in her eyes when she looked at the bride was particularly resentful; it was clear that she was taking her anger out on the bride.
"You just called Fu Guilan 'cousin'? Are you her cousin?"
The bride nodded. "I...I am the daughter of the third wife, and my cousin...is the daughter of the first wife."
The children of the eldest branch of the Fu family were more favored, mainly because Fu Guilan's father was the eldest son and was highly regarded, and she was her parents' only daughter, and the youngest one at that.
Therefore, she was able to receive her parents' love and attend high school.
Of course, it was also because she was pretty enough that her parents thought she could marry into the city and become a city dweller.
The facts proved that Fu Guilan was indeed capable. Not only did she marry into the city and become the factory director's wife, but she also married her cousin into the city.
Liu Lifen looked at the bride with a burning hatred, but in the end she laughed.
Looking at her like this, Chen Suwen recalled a saying—
People can laugh when they're speechless.
Liu Lifen was speechless and furious to the extreme, so all she could do was laugh.
"Great job, that's really good."
Liu Lifen ultimately had to swallow this bitter pill, but the bride's life afterward might not be so pleasant.
Having been outmaneuvered, the Wang family was bound to vent their anger, and the bride, who was going to live under the same roof as the Wang family, naturally bore the brunt of Liu Lifen's pent-up rage.
The wedding continued.
"The Wang family just had to swallow this in silence?" Ye Yulian moved closer to Chen Suwen and sat at the same table with her. She was quite surprised to see the wedding banquet continue.
Chen Suwen shrugged. "If we don't continue, does the Wang family think they can find a decent girl to marry their son?"
Because of his lame leg, even though he was quite good-looking and had good grades in school, no girl was willing to marry Wang Laoxiao.
“This bride looks pretty good. If you look closely at her hands, you can see some calluses. She must be someone who does a lot of manual labor.”
"Isn't this the kind of person the Wang family is looking for to take care of the Wang family?"
"I just don't know whether the job the Wang family promised is for the current bride or the original daughter-in-law?"
"By the way, have you heard about the deputy director of the food factory getting married? How old is he?"
