There were many students from Baiyun Academy watching the ceremony. Qi Xiuyuan, Lu Yao and Xiao Hechuan stood together. Qi Xiuyuan crossed his arms and looked at Luo Ming who was worshipping. He couldn't help but click his tongue twice:
"Tsk tsk, I never thought that Luo Ming would actually go down this path one day. I used to think he was too arrogant and looked down on everyone all day long. I never thought that he would bow down one day."
Not only Qi Xiuyuan thinks so, many students of Baiyun Academy also think so.
They gathered in twos and threes, talking among themselves. When Luo Ming turned around to bow to heaven and earth, he naturally could not ignore their expressions and the smiles on their faces.
At this moment, the smiles on everyone's faces seemed particularly glaring to him. They were all mockery. Under his wide sleeves, his hands were clenched into fists, tightly clenched, and his teeth were clenched.
He was thinking that he must achieve something and slap all of them in the face.
His gaze turned and converged with Xiao Hechuan's. There was no expression on Xiao Hechuan's face, but hatred appeared on Luo Ming's face.
It's all Xiao Hechuan's fault. If he hadn't given the dean random advice, how could he have been favored by the dean and used his family's frustration to tie himself up to become the Ye family's son-in-law?
He also teamed up with the dean to trick him into sleeping on Ye Shu's couch, making the matter a foregone conclusion.
It turned out that he had misinterpreted the last incident in this way. If Xiao Hechuan knew about this, he would definitely cry out that it was injustice. It was really an accident and he brought it upon himself.
But he put the blame on Xiao Hechuan.
Xiao Hechuan naturally also saw the obvious hatred on his face towards him. He felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Fine, just regard this matter as something he owed him, and he would find a chance to repay him later.
Qi Xiuyuan also noticed it, and he couldn't help but complain to Xiao Hechuan:
"Xiao Yixing, did you offend him in some way? Why does he look like he wants to eat you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Hechuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Isn't it true? He just accidentally offended him, what can he do? If he has a grudge, he just hopes that he will vent it openly and not do anything behind his back. Even if he just comes up and punches him like last time, the most important thing is that if you have any anger, you can go to him, Xiao Hechuan, and don't hurt his family.
Family is his Achilles' heel!
Soon, the wedding ceremony was over. With the master of ceremonies' shout, the ceremony was completed and the couple was sent to the bridal chamber. The marriage was considered a success.
Everyone started to applaud, the applause was thunderous, and they all said words of blessing, such as "May the flowers bloom and the moon be in full bloom", "May you have a baby soon" and so on. However, these words sounded like mockery and were extremely harsh to Luo Ming's ears. He almost couldn't control his expression.
With someone like Ye Shu, how could he and her have a happy marriage and have a baby soon?
Just facing her makes me feel uncomfortable.
Luo Ming still couldn't accept the disabled Ye Shu. If he wasn't the only son of the Luo family, he would never bow his head.
In fact, the guests who came to congratulate knew very well that being someone's son-in-law was not a prestigious thing, so no one would specifically invite Luo Ming to drink or anything like that.
Everyone just did it for the sake of politeness, clinked glasses with him, said a few words of blessing, and that was it.
The happiest person today would have to be Ye Congwen. At least he had solved one of his biggest concerns, which was finding a good husband for his only daughter. He could also give an explanation to his deceased wife.
Ye Congwen drank a lot of wine and was already drunk when the banquet ended, but he did not forget to go to the ancestral hall to burn incense for his deceased wife and tell her that their daughter was getting married today and the son-in-law had to be handsome and talented in literature.
Inside the bridal chamber, Luo Ming numbly went through the process, lifted the veil, and drank the wedding wine.
Ye Shu was still not quite sober. Ruxingruyue brought the wine to her. Ye Shu's hand holding the wine glass was shaking a little. The atmosphere created by the red candles in the room was very ambiguous, but Luo Ming had no intention of doing so at all.
For some reason, when Ye Shu looked at his face, she mistook him for Xiao Hechuan. In this situation, she actually thought that the person she was going to marry was Xiao Hechuan. That scene had appeared in her dreams before, and it was so clear, as if it had really happened.
Ye Shu suddenly curled her lips and smiled. Her eyes were so affectionate that Luo Ming actually felt for a moment that she liked him.
But the next moment, Xiao Hechuan's name came out of her mouth, and Luo Ming's action of drinking stopped in mid-air, and he fell into a stalemate.
The stars and the moon on the side didn't even dare to breathe, and all kept their heads down.
Xiao Hechuan, it was Xiao Hechuan again. The veins on the back of Luo Ming's hands bulged. He didn't understand why such an important stage of his life could not be achieved without his participation?
Although he didn't love Ye Shu and even hated her, they were now husband and wife. As his wife, she was calling another man's name. How could he not care?
There is a feeling of finding out you’ve been cheated on on your wedding night.
Ye Shu had finished her drink, but she noticed
Fang was still slow to move, so she deliberately urged him:
"Husband, drink it, why don't you drink it?"
It was as if he had completely mistaken Luo Ming for Xiao Hechuan. Luo Ming could no longer bear it, so he withdrew his hand and smashed the wine glass hard on the ground, which startled Ruxing and Ruyue, as well as Ye Shu.
"Ye Shu, look carefully at who I am. I am not Xiao Hechuan!" His voice was full of gritted teeth.
At this moment, Ye Shu seemed to be sober. She shook her head vigorously, and the face of the person in front of her became clear in her eyes.
It’s Luo Ming.
Her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. After seeing clearly that it was Luo Ming, her eyes instantly turned cold:
"Why is it you?"
Luo Ming sneered:
"Anyway, it's not Xiao Hechuan, you will never get him, Ye Shu, he doesn't like you at all. In fact, you and I are both pitiful people, and we are all helpless. Since you and I have come to this point, I need to make it clear to you first. From now on, we are just husband and wife in name only. We can give each other enough face in public, but I absolutely cannot tolerate my nominal wife cheating on me in public!"
The words "You and I are both poor people, helpless" really broke Ye Shu's defense. She was a rebellious person, so how could she be willing to listen to Luo Ming's words and threats?
She immediately retorted:
"What qualifications do you have to make demands on me? You are just a son-in-law who lives under someone else's roof and relies on my Ye family for life. Do you need face? You have already sat on this couch today. Where is your face? You have no qualifications to order me around. Do you understand?"
