Huo Mingchen frowned, about to speak.
But Cheng Shanshan waved her hand dismissively, saying, "No, your opinion doesn't matter. My sister Liu Liu and I have already made our decision. You just need to comply." With that, she announced directly to everyone present, "Today is not only the day your Prefect Huo is getting married, but also the day he is taking a concubine."
"...Taking a concubine?"
Liu Liu was completely dumbfounded.
After all, she thought Cheng Shanshan would go crazy, but she didn't expect her to go this crazy!
Is she really going to marry Huo Mingchen along with her?
no!
She won't allow that!
Liu Liu looked at Huo Mingchen for help, but to her surprise, he not only did not object at all, but also looked at Cheng Shanshan with a tenderness she had never seen before.
Her once cool and aloof expression now held an overwhelming joy, which felt like a thorn piercing her heart, chilling her to the bone and making her feel unsteady on her feet.
Those around her, witnessing this scene, were overcome with sympathy and couldn't help but speak up for her: "Hey, Cheng Shanshan, have you no shame? Our Prefect Huo didn't agree to this!"
"That's right! You're an unfilial daughter who doesn't even care about her own father. How could someone like that be worthy of our Prefect Huo!"
"Quickly, quickly, drag this crazy woman away!"
As they spoke, these people became agitated and made a move to pull Cheng Shanshan away.
Cheng Shanshan didn't intend to resist, since she mainly came today to make a scene and also to warn Liu Liu so that she wouldn't bother her again in the future.
Anyway, Liu Liu must be furious right now, so she can take this opportunity to "retire gracefully".
However, despite her perfect plan, Huo Mingchen was uncooperative!
Just as she was about to leave, he pulled her into his arms and said, "On our wedding day, is it appropriate for you to take my wife away?"
"Prefect Huo, your wife is Liu Liu."
"That's right, this unfilial daughter doesn't deserve you."
Huo Mingchen's expression turned slightly cold as he looked at the other person and asked, "Whether someone is a good match or not, isn't that up to me to decide?"
"..."
Silence fell instantly.
No one knew what to say.
Huo Mingchen ignored what everyone thought and put his arm around Cheng Shanshan's waist: "You just said you wanted to have a wedding ceremony, so you can't go back on your word."
"Huo Mingchen!"
Cheng Shanshan called out softly.
Then she struggled to distance herself from him, saying, "Let me go right now, or don't blame me for continuing to cause trouble and making sure you can't get married!" As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glared at Huo Mingchen.
To everyone's surprise, Huo Mingchen's eyes and brows were filled with a smile. He leaned close to Cheng Shanshan's ear and whispered, "If you hadn't come, this marriage would never have happened. But now that you're here, things are different."
"……What's the meaning?"
Cheng Shanshan looked at Huo Mingchen, her brows furrowed.
It's impossible for her not to be angry, after all, this guy didn't even come in person when he severed ties with her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lift her leg and stomp hard on Huo Mingchen's foot. But he didn't react at all. Instead, he looked at everyone calmly and said, "Since everyone is here to congratulate me today, please drink to your heart's content."
Although he didn't continue speaking.
But everyone still understood the implication; the next sentence should have been: "Those who don't want to congratulate can get lost."
Such a statement left others speechless, and they could only offer their congratulations. Huo Mingchen, on the other hand, forcibly dragged Cheng Shanshan to toast each table, which angered her so much that she tried to pinch and kick her, but no matter how hard she tried, it was no use.
Huo Mingchen offered a toast before saying in a low voice, "Do as you please, but if I even frown, I'll consider it a loss."
"..."
That's some kind of shamelessness, like a city wall!
She finally understands what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot.
Originally, I only wanted to come and make Liu Liu unhappy, but I didn't expect to become the cicada in the mantis stalking the cicada.
At this moment, Liu Liu, who was standing next to him, had become an outsider.
Her fists were clenched tightly, and her pale face showed deep resentment!
She should be the center of attention and receiving everyone's blessings today, so why is she acting differently?
Why should I?!
Seeing the displeasure on her face, Cheng Shanshan suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.
She initially liked Liu Liu from the bottom of her heart, finding her smile sweet and her sincerity genuine.
Unexpectedly, Huo Mingchen alone completely changed her. Seeing that Liu Liu still showed no remorse, she stopped her open and covert struggle with Huo Mingchen, turned around and straightened herself: "Liu Liu, come and pour some wine."
"...Should I pour the wine?"
"Of course it's you. Otherwise, do you think being a concubine is so easy?"
"I'm the one who..."
Liu Liu wants to say that she is not a concubine.
But she swallowed the words back down her throat. Her eyes flickered and she sobbed, "As long as sister is happy, Liu Liu will be happy no matter what."
That familiar taste.
This reminded Cheng Shanshan of Cheng Wan'er.
However, Cheng Wan'er was far more cunning than Liu Liu. Putting aside everything else, men would basically soften their hearts when they saw her cry.
But now Huo Mingchen only looked at her with disdain: "I think there's no need to pour wine. You're tired too, you should go and rest." As he said this, he gave a wink to the person next to him.
The two older women immediately understood and stepped forward, grabbing Liu Liu's hands on either side: "Liu Liu, come with us."
"No! Why should I leave?"
Liu Liu tried to resist, but the other party didn't give her a chance and dragged her away directly.
The wedding banquet ended in farce, and some people couldn't help but sigh and discuss: "Liu Liu is so pitiful. His family has cut off all ties with him. Now his good marriage has been stolen and he has become a concubine."
"It can only be said that there is always something hateful about a pitiful person. After all, she was the one crying and begging in the teahouse that day to marry him as well."
"That's right, they've already said such absolute things, what can we, the onlookers, say?"
Do you think the Ye family will care?
"Really? Although the Ye family members are all very nice, this Liu Liu insists on ruining herself. How can anyone control her?"
"I don't think so either, since we've already lost our stance."
Liu Liu was aware of this, so when her maid suggested that she go to the Ye family, she refused quite decisively.
The maid, Xiao Taohong, grew anxious: "Sixth Miss, are you really going to just swallow this insult like this?"
Of course not!
Liu Liu stared at the room lit up in the distance, her eyes filled with deep resentment: "Brother Huo can only be mine!"
At the same time, Cheng Shanshan, who was inside the room, felt the chill and immediately stood up, saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
