Although reluctant, Li Yuan still handed his daughter's hand to Gu Yibei.
Only after firmly grasping his wife's hand did Gu Yibei breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, the father-in-law spoke to his son-in-law.
Li Yuan took the microphone and stood in the middle, looking at the guests on both sides below.
"Hello everyone, I am Ling Yin Warrens. You all should know me. That's right, I'm the one who is second on the world's richest list."
Everyone was completely bewildered, wondering why the big shot had suddenly brought this up.
Then Li Yuan continued.
"Why did I come in second? Because the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so I hid some of my assets."
“I only have one daughter. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, my daughter and I were separated for twenty years before we reunited. I missed the most precious twenty years of her life. By the time I found her, she already had a partner.”
She glanced at Gu Yibei with a mournful expression.
Gu Yibei touched his nose.
"Although I want my daughter to stay by my side for a few more years, I also know that I can only feel at ease as a father if she is happy. In addition, my daughter has good taste, and I can accept the other half she has found."
The audience below the stage, who were struck by the Versailles vibe: "..."
The groom is Gu Yibei, whose father is a duke and mother is a princess. He is a member of the royal family who climbed onto the Forbes rich list at a young age through his own efforts!
She's good-looking, tall, from a good family, and has good emotional and intellectual intelligence. Is this what you call just "okay"?
Well, it was Ling Yin Warrens who said that.
Li Yuan's gaze fell on Gu Yibei: "Do you see the helicopter in the sky?"
Gu Yibei smiled apologetically: "Dad..."
"I have influence all over Europe and even the world. Since you dare to marry my daughter, you must treat her well for the rest of your life. If I find out that you have mistreated her, there will be more helicopters flying around the sky than helicopters. I don't care if you are royalty or nobility. If you dare to mistreat my daughter, I will blow up your ancestral graves!"
Gu Yibei: "..."
The Gu couple in the audience: "..."
Madam Gu quickly took out her phone and made a call: "Mother, we've sent more people to the ancestral graves..."
Luo Ling, standing nearby: "..."
The fierce remarks from his young father-in-law left everyone present dumbfounded. Ji Zhinan secretly tugged at his hand: "Dad..."
Seeing his beloved daughter, Li Yuan smiled again: "Daddy just wanted to give him a warning so he wouldn't dare bully you. If he doesn't bully you, Daddy won't kick him out."
The wedding emcee, trembling with fear, asked the father-in-law to leave the stage.
After successfully taking the bride's hand, the two walked to the priest and listened to his sermon.
"Mr. Gu Yibei, do you take this woman to be your wife, to marry her, and to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for all else, to love her, to care for her, to respect her, to accept her, and to remain faithful to her until the end of your life?"
Gu Yibei looked at his bride across from him, the scene of their first meeting still vivid in his mind.
He nodded: "I'm willing."
The priest nodded, then looked at Ji Zhinan and asked, "Miss South Wulace, do you take this man to be your husband, to marry him, and to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for all else, to love and to cherish him, to care for him, to respect him, to accept him, and to remain faithful to him until the end of your life?"
Her life wasn't smooth sailing; she met many people and witnessed the coldness of the world. He was the first person to offer her warmth. With him by her side, she could let down her guard and armor, showing her most vulnerable side.
Because she knew that she didn't need to worry in front of him; he could accept any side of her.
She wanted to be with him, forever and ever.
Looking at the man in front of her who was about to spend the rest of his life with her, Ji Zhinan smiled and nodded: "I do."
The End —
[Finally, the finale! Hooray! Tomorrow I'll be updating with an extra chapter, interspersed with scenes of Nan Nan's happy life after giving birth. I'm working on the new book; I'm only 1,000 words away from 20,000, but I'm experiencing writer's block. Plus, my editor has already left work. Please wait while I organize the outline, and I'll try my best to write the last 1,000 words so I can see you all again! Thank you all for your support.]
