Chapter 17: Marriage Becomes Relationship
Jiang Xu looked at Ye Yinyin in his arms, his face full of humiliation, and his eyes still hid his obsession with the person in his arms.
"Once my mother's illness is cured, I will divorce Shen Shuyan. Yinyin, please wait for me, okay?"
Ye Yinyin's face flushed with joy after hearing such a gentle confession from someone, who chose her over a rich young lady. She felt a secret sense of pride in her heart.
But in her actions, she still placed her small hands on the person's chest, gently pushing the person away, with an expression of rejection appearing on her rosy face.
"Brother Jiang Xu, I've already told you that I only consider you my brother. Don't divorce Miss Shen because of me. The Shen family is big and powerful. Only in the Shen family can you fully display your talents. Isn't it good for us to be brother and sister forever?"
Jiang Xu felt that Ye Yinyin was worried about his future, so he couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, with confidence between his brows.
"As long as my brain is there, I won't have to worry about the platform to display my skills wherever I go. Don't worry, Yinyin, even if I leave the Shen family, I will not let you suffer. You still work so hard to do these things."
The two of them were acting out an idol drama inside, while Jiang Ning and the other two outside had goose bumps on their hands, and Chen Shuyan was so angry that her eyes were about to roll up to the sky.
He was just a tool for her to enter the Shen Group, but he really thought that she couldn't love him and even despised her. Pu Xin believed it very much.
Chen Shuyan complained in his heart, quickly sent out a few messages, then put away his phone and waited for the big show to begin.
Since the tool man wants to be with his childhood sweetheart, then they can be together. As long as he doesn't regret it, she, Chen Shuyan, is too lazy to get involved. It's also a good opportunity for her father to see whose face is being embarrassed by forcing her to get married.
At the same time, in the banquet hall, seeing that the time was almost up, the MC began to preside over the wedding. After calling the bride and groom several times, no one showed up.
The emcee finished speaking all the lines he could think of in his career, sweating profusely, but the door of the banquet hall was still not opened, and the confused emcee was a little bewildered.
Looking at the noisy guests below the stage, the screen on the stage suddenly lit up. The emcee breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone's attention was drawn there. He quickly stood aside and asked someone to find the bride and groom.
The guests in the banquet hall saw that the video that was supposed to show how the bride and groom met and fell in love had been replaced with a different heroine. The groom even hugged the heroine and kept saying that he would break off the engagement with Shen Shuyan and not let her suffer. Every word he said was like trampling on the Shen family's reputation.
The voice that had just stopped started up again, and this time with the gossip, the discussion became even more heated.
"Am I seeing things right? Is that the groom and another woman inside?"
"Didn't Mr. Chen say that his son-in-law is a rare dragon and phoenix among men? This son-in-law who secretly met with his lover on the wedding day is a dragon and phoenix among men?"
"Tsk, Mr. Shen is getting old and confused. He even wants to hand over his property to an outsider to manage. Now, he is planning to get the property to support a woman outside."
"Look at the room. That's the lounge, right? Let's go and watch the fun."
“Go, go, go!”
The Lu family members among the guests naturally saw the video. Lu Yanqing glanced at Shen's father, whose veins bulged on his forehead. He always felt that this farce was related to his own child, and they exchanged glances.
Lu Shiyu hurriedly sent a message to Lu Yuan, asking which lounge it was, and then they all rushed over.
When they arrived, Shen's father, who was more familiar with the family, also rushed over. Shen's father seemed to have guessed how the video was played in the banquet hall. He glared at Shen Shuyan at the door, kicked the door open with a crack, and pointed at Jiang Xu and cursed.
"Jiang Xu! Did the Shen family force you to get married? Why are you pretending to be such a fool in front of your little lover? Do you really think our Shen family must have you? You really think highly of yourself!"
Being followed in by Shen's father, Jiang Ning and others, staring at them with burning eyes, Jiang Xu and Ye Yinyin separated as if by electric shock. They were still confused when they were bombarded by Shen's father. After listening to those words, they felt really humiliated, and they hated Shen's father and other rich people who made them lose their dignity.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. Yinyin is not a lover, she is my sister!"
Ye Yinyin was looked at with contempt by Chen Shuyan, and she was about to cry. She cried beside him as if she was extremely wronged. She felt insulted, so she raised her tear-stained face and said with a fearless look.
"Uncle Shen, I respect you as an elder, but you can't insult me and Jiang Xu like this. Jiang Xu just saw me working as a waiter here and was worried about me, so he comforted me a few words. We don't have a shameful relationship."
Ye Yinyin really felt aggrieved. She thought that she only regarded Jiang Xu as a neighbor brother, so why should she endure the strange looks from Chen Shuyan and the young ladies around her?
Apart from being born better than her, she doesn't think she is any worse than them. Why should they look down on her and think she is a shameless girl?
In the video, Ye Yinyin only showed half of her face because of the angle. When he saw her full appearance at this moment, the furious father Shen was suddenly paused and stood there in a daze.
"You, what's your mother's name?"
Shen Shuyan, who was watching the show behind, had her eyelids twitched when she heard the words. Thinking of the women that Shen's father had kept outside before, she looked back and forth between Shen's father and Ye Yinyin, as if guessing their relationship.
Jiang Xu should also know what kind of person Shen's father was in the past. He hurriedly pulled Ye Yinyin behind him and looked at Shen's father vigilantly.
"Dad, Yinyin is the same age as Chen Shuyan, and she is my sister, your niece!"
These words simply implied that he was a beast, and Father Shen couldn't help but kick him away, looking at Ye Yinyin and spoke again carefully.
"You look a lot like someone I used to know, so I wanted to ask your mother's name. There's absolutely no other meaning to it."
Ye Yinyin seemed to believe what Father Shen said and replied in a low voice.
"My mother's name is Ye Yulian, she has passed away."
Hearing this name, Shen's father's eyes turned red, "Your mother used to be my... friend. My child, you have suffered a lot. You will live in the Shen family from now on. Whatever Shuyan has, I will not lack you."
Mr. Shen's sudden words undoubtedly proved that he and Ye Yulian had a very close relationship in the past, shocking everyone in the room.
When Ye Yinyin heard this, she looked into Father Shen's loving eyes, her heart trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she moved her lips and swallowed it back.
She just wanted fatherly love too much, not wanting to snatch Shen Shuyan's father away. They would understand her, right?
The guests who finally found their way here heard such explosive news as soon as they arrived, and each of them had an excited expression on their face as if they had just heard something big.
The son-in-law had an affair with his illegitimate daughter, and the scene of catching him in adultery turned into a scene of recognition. This melodramatic scene was much more lively than watching a wedding.
Shen Shuyan looked at Shen's father who was excited to recognize Ye Yinyin, and a sneer escaped his mouth.
After being surprised, Jiang Xu felt that this was an opportunity.
If Ye Yinyin and Shen Shuyan were both daughters of the Shen family, he could marry one of them instead, right? That way he wouldn't have to leave the Shen family and could still be the son-in-law of the Shen family that everyone praised.
"Dad, since you and Yinyin have this kind of relationship, then I'll be frank. I don't have any feelings for Shuyan. The person I want to marry has always been Yinyin. Now that the wedding is ready, it can't be wasted. Wouldn't it be a happy ending if we change the bride to Yinyin?"
"What a happy ending! Jiang Xu, you treat me as if I don't exist. Shen Dazhuang, if you really agree to Jiang Xu marrying this illegitimate daughter, you are not my father. Get out of my mother's house with this illegitimate daughter, Phoenix man!" Shen Shuyan said with a sneer at Jiang Xu and the other two, and directly called out Shen's father's former name.
The crowd watching was also cursing Jiang Xu in their hearts for being shameless. He was even provoking her, treating the Shen family's daughter as a cabbage.
Father Shen, who has always been the most dignified man in the Shen family, felt his eyebrows twitch when he heard this. Looking at Ye Yinyin, who was frightened and pale, and looked at him with admiration, Father Shen became even more angry. He was about to suppress Shen Shuyan's rebellious arrogance when a voice came into his ears.
Why don't you do a paternity test and conclude that Ye Yinyin is the Shen family's daughter? Before Ye Yulian became pregnant, she had sex with seven men. The probability of her being Uncle Shen's daughter is only one in seven.
