Chapter 48 Song Qiao’s counterattack!
Song Qiao only glanced at Xie Yanli and then shifted her gaze. Although her face was calm, a subtle look flashed in her eyes, because Jiang Xinhui, who was smiling, was sitting next to him, which made her very annoyed.
Besides, after seeing Xie Yanli's speech, she felt an inexplicable complex emotion in her heart.
With him around, she felt both relieved and worried. She felt relieved because she saw that he had confidence, but she was worried because she was afraid that he would disrupt the wedding and ruin her original plans.
She and Xie Yanli were mortal enemies. Why did he give her such a feeling? In fact, she herself couldn't explain it clearly. It seemed a bit far-fetched to say that it was her sixth sense.
Song Qiao came to Chen Yang without time to think. After Chen Yang took her arm from Song Zhiming, Song Zhiming stepped down.
Song Qiao concealed her disgust without making a sound. She stared at Chen Yang and smiled.
Chen Yang felt a little guilty looking at Song Qiao, who was smiling like a flower. His whole body trembled slightly and the expression on his face froze for a moment.
But he quickly calmed down, and then pulled his lips in an extremely unnatural way and gave Song Qiao a gentle smile in return.
The wedding host then started the wedding process. He first introduced their love story, and then came to the most important part of the wedding - the oath.
Xie Yanli in the audience could no longer sit still after hearing this. He gave Song Qiao the evidence of Chen Yang's infidelity in the hope that she would cancel the engagement on her own initiative, but she did not cancel the wedding. He suppressed his anger and waited patiently until the swearing-in ceremony, but Song Qiao still had no reaction.
He has given her enough initiative over the years, and his patience has been exhausted at this moment. He doesn't want to listen to Song Qiao being affectionate to another man in public. He can't stand it.
Just as he was about to stand up to stop him, Song Qiao spoke first.
She faced the guests, raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Before we take the wedding vows, I want to do something very important."
After hearing this, Xie Yanli did not choose to stand up. Until the last moment, he still held unrealistic fantasies about Song Qiao. He hoped that Song Qiao would take the initiative to regret the engagement before he stepped forward to stop the wedding.
The guests in the audience all looked at Song Qiao, waiting to hear her next speech.
Song Qiao looked at Xu Qin in the audience and said with a smile: "Aunt Xu, you called me yesterday and told me that in your hometown, the bride's parents give money to the bride's waist, so before we take the oath, I want to give you the money my parents gave me according to the custom in your hometown."
The guests from Beijing were all a little surprised about this. They had never heard of the waist money. But they soon understood that Chen Yang came from a mountain city, so they must have many customs there.
They all secretly sighed that Chen Yang was so lucky to marry Song Zhiming's only daughter. Song Qiao was not only impeccable in appearance but also had a good personality. She also did not have the airs of those rich girls and attached great importance to Chen Yang's family.
Xu Qin, who was sitting in the audience, finally put her worries to rest. She raised her eyebrows, a smug smile in her eyes. She straightened her back and waited to see Song Qiao take out the money.
Song Qiao glanced at Chen Yao, who instantly understood what she meant. She walked up to Xu Qin in front of everyone, and when everyone's eyes followed her, she raised the bank card in her hand to Xu Qin and said in a slightly higher voice, "Aunt Xu, there is one million in it. It's the money that uncle and aunt gave to Song Qiao as a deposit. Keep it."
After she finished speaking, she handed the bank card in her hand to Xu Qin. After Xu Qin received the bank card, she smiled so hard that her mouth almost reached her ears.
In addition to caring about the money, she was more concerned about the fact that the Song family was being manipulated by her.
If she didn't hate the Song family so much, she would definitely let Chen Yang marry Song Qiao, and then take the opportunity to play a trick on them, and finally let Chen Yang abandon Song Qiao and make her an abandoned woman.
The guests in the audience belonged to two extremes. On one side were the relatives and partners of the Song family, who were either rich or noble; on the other side were the relatives of the Chen Yang family, who were all honest people from the mountain city and came from average families.
They had completely different views on the matter. The rich people were not surprised by it. Their focus was not on the amount of money but on the Chen family's eagerness for money. They felt that his family was too stingy.
Those who came from the mountain city naturally felt that Chen Yang had married a good wife. After all, the dowry of the girls in their village was no more than 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, but Chen Yang's wife gave one million yuan, which really made people jealous and hateful.
Although Xu Qin felt relieved after getting the money, she didn't know the password of the card. If Chen Yang regretted the engagement later, it would be impossible for her to know the password, and the card would be invalid.
Thinking of this, she reached out and pulled Chen Yao over, leaning close to her ear and whispered, "Child, what is the password for this bank card? Did Song Qiao tell you?"
Chen Yao shook her head in surprise: "Auntie, there is so much money in it, how could I know the password?"
Just as Xu Qin was about to speak, Chen Yao looked at Song Qiao and deliberately said loudly: "Qiao Qiao, Aunt Xu asked what the password of your bank card is."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter. This time, not only the dignitaries laughed, but also the relatives of the Chen family. Xu Qin was too unpresentable. Before the wedding was over, she was impatiently asking the bride for the bank card password.
What are relatives? They are those who are jealous of you being richer than them and despise you being poorer than them.
These relatives of the Chen family were almost jealous to death that Chen Yang could marry such a beautiful wife. Not only that, her family also gave them so much money as a dowry, which made them feel even more unbalanced.
Now that Xu Qin had been caught by them, they would certainly not let her go easily.
"Xu Qin, even though we are from Shancheng, you can't be so short-sighted. The wedding of their two children hasn't even been completed yet, and you are so anxious to get the password. How will their in-laws and their family and friends view us?"
"That's right, that's right. Song Qiao is such a good girl and she has married our Chen Yang. Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, the money is for the young couple. You are so anxious to get the password. Are you thinking of taking it all for yourself? Xu Qin, I have to remind you a few words. It's one thing for the girl not to care, but we can't do something that will make people stab us in the back."
"Xu Qin, Old Chen passed away early. With your family's financial situation, the daughter not only didn't despise you but also gave you so much money as a gift. Your family is really lucky. The girls in our village only get a few hundred thousand or eighty thousand as a gift. The Song family is so generous. You must treat their daughter well in the future."
The discussion in the audience was quite loud. Xu Qin lost her composure the moment she heard it. Just as she was about to retort, a hint of pride flashed in Chen Yao's eyes.
She pretended to be shocked and said, "Aunt Xu, didn't you say that the money you give as a betrothal gift is hundreds of thousands? Why does this sound wrong to me?"
As soon as Chen Yao finished speaking, the people from the mountain city immediately turned their noses up. No need to guess, they knew that Xu Qin must have deliberately raised the amount of money because she saw that the Song family was from the city.
Just this one lift cost hundreds of thousands. She was really asking for too much. They started to blame her again.
The scene below the stage suddenly became lively. This time, not only the people from Shancheng criticized her, but the guests from Jingcheng also sneered at her. But they were people who were in the spotlight after all, so apart from talking in low voices, they didn't do anything so deliberate and obvious.
Chen Yang panicked when he saw that the situation in the audience was getting out of control. He gently pulled Song Qiao's arm, hoping that she could help smooth things over.
Song Qiao took away Chen Yang's hand on her arm and smiled meaningfully at him: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she turned to the guests in the audience and said in a slightly louder voice, "I have specially prepared a great gift for Chen Yang today. Anyone who can attend this wedding is not an outsider to me or Chen Yang, so I would like to trouble you to witness this important moment with him."
