At first glance, these words seem like praise for Bai Yu's quality, but once you think about them, you'll realize that every word is barbed, a hidden dagger.
As soon as he arrived, he brought up the matter of Bai Yuzhi's marriage to ward off bad luck. Ever since the incident with Jinshan Butterfly, when some foolish person tried to embarrass Bai Yuzhi with this matter, Xu Hanshan had stopped the news from spreading with swift and decisive measures. It had been a long time since anyone dared to mention the words "marrying to ward off bad luck" in front of Bai Yuzhi.
Not only that, but he also pointed directly at the child in Bai Yuzhi's womb. At this time, Bai Yuzhi was already more than three months pregnant, which was just the time when the child was stable. It should have been a good thing, but this person's tone was extremely strange, as if his words were barbed, full of sarcasm.
That wasn't enough. As if afraid that people wouldn't think the worst, the man started talking again.
"Today, all the dignitaries and nobles have gathered here, which has truly broadened my horizons. However, looking around, I do not see Chairman Lin. I suppose that makes sense, since Miss Lin has only recently passed away, and Chairman Lin is probably still grieving the loss of his daughter."
These words made it unclear to outsiders why Chairman Lin was grieving the loss of his daughter. However, the people attending the banquet at the Gong family's residence were all prominent figures, either eyewitnesses of the incident or astute individuals who had already heard the news. Upon hearing these words, they naturally wondered what had caused Lin Xiaosheng's death.
Who doesn't know that the so-called suicide is just a fig leaf for the Lin family? Lin Xiaosheng clearly died quietly because he almost caused Bai Yuzhi to miscarry.
The white jade-like figure looked at the newcomer.
The man was dressed in a well-fitting long gown and was holding a book in his hands. He looked clean-cut and refined, with a scholarly air about him. However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that what he was holding was not a book, but a roll of newspaper.
Holding the newspaper, he continued to mock others; this person could only be Cen Yu.
He did indeed come, and he came prepared to cause trouble.
The hall was silent; no one dared to speak in such a situation, for fear of becoming the unlucky one.
Only Master Gong was completely stunned, never expecting that Mr. Cen, whom he had always regarded as gentle, steady, and courteous, would actually make sarcastic remarks about Bai Yuzhi at his family's wedding banquet.
Master Gong was now filled with regret. How could he have invited such a ticking time bomb into his mansion? If this angered Xu Hanshan, wouldn't the Gong family be struck by an unexpected disaster?
No one spoke up, but Master Gong couldn't remain silent; this was their family's wedding banquet, and they couldn't let it be ruined like this.
So Mr. Gong forced a smile: "Ha, hahaha, haha, well, Mr. Cen is here. You are a scholar, so you may not know about the affairs between us merchants. It's understandable that you might have said something wrong."
The atmosphere had finally improved somewhat thanks to Mr. Gong's efforts, but Cen Yu was completely ungrateful.
"Is that so? Then, Mr. Gong, please tell me, where did I go wrong?"
"Is it that Chairman Lin has never experienced the pain of losing a child, or is it that Miss Bai was simply unlucky and lost her child?"
Cen Yu smiled but his gaze was icy as he stared directly at Bai Yuzhi, his eyes meeting Xu Hanshan's murderous gaze.
Yet he seemed utterly fearless. Facing Xu Hanshan, he merely met his gaze coldly, perhaps with a hint of hatred hidden deep within his narrow eyes.
Master Gong never expected Cen Yu to say such a thing! He actually dared to curse the child in Bai Yuzhi's womb; he was simply courting death.
Those present who heard this were all shocked, and Master Gong was especially terrified.
"This...this Mr. Cen seems to have lost his mind! Quick, someone, take him out of here!"
That damned plague god! If I had known he would cause such a mess, Master Gong would have been willing to risk being called rude rather than send an invitation to Cen Yu.
The servants of the Gong family quickly arrived and grabbed Cen Yu, intending to throw him out of the mansion.
"stop!"
As Xu Hanshan coldly watched Cen Yu, a woman's shout suddenly came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw that the woman was wearing a bright red wedding dress and looking anxiously at Cen Yu, who was being supported by servants. This was none other than today's bride, Gong Yi.
Master Gong was also shocked: "Ayi! What are you doing out here at this time? Go back quickly!"
But Gong Yi shook her head fiercely: "No, I won't go back! If Mr. Cen isn't here today, I absolutely will not go through with the wedding!"
Bai Yuzhi looked at Gong Yi, who was also a very beautiful woman with a bright and slender figure. She looked beautiful in her wedding dress, but her expression was a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Bai Yuzhi knew what she was after.
Gong Yi was not a vicious woman; in fact, in a universal sense, she was quite selfless.
Gong Yi had studied abroad and longed for free love and marriage. However, because she lacked the ability to manage a business and did not want the family business passed down through generations to decline, she agreed to her father's request and accepted Cen Yu, a talented man from a poor background, even though she had fallen in love with him, all in order to ensure the continuation of the family business.
But she was still just a woman under twenty. Gong Yi's only act of willfulness was now. Even if she couldn't be with Cen Yu, she wanted to show her husband what she looked like in her wedding dress.
because……
"Xiaoyi must look absolutely stunning at her wedding."
These were the words Cen Yu had said to Gong Yi back then. At that time, Cen Yu was just impatient, so he casually made up some words to appease Gong Yi, but Gong Yi, who was just beginning to experience love, took them as a dream.
She wanted to show her husband how she looked in her wedding dress.
So she ran out to stop Master Gong from kicking Cen Yu out.
"Father, why did you drive Mr. Cen away?"
She didn't know the whole story; she only rushed out because her personal maid came to report to her.
Gong Yi was puzzled: "He's my teacher, what's wrong with him attending my wedding?"
Old Master Gong was so anxious that his mouth was practically bubbling. He had no time to explain these irrelevant things to Gong Yi. He was afraid that if he didn't kick Cen Yu, this spoilsport, out of the way, Xu Hanshan would make Cen Yu bleed on the spot at the Gong family's wedding banquet!
That would be bad luck!
"You little brat, your father has his reasons for doing things. You should go back now!"
He then turned to the servants and ordered, "Ignore the young lady, take her out!"
Seeing Gong Yi's teary-eyed appearance, Cen Yu actually laughed out loud: "Thank you, Xiao Yi, but it's alright."
He threw the roll of newspapers he was holding into the Gong residence. The newspapers landed on the ground and tables, making them impossible to miss.
Those who saw it wished they could close their eyes immediately.
Cen Yu shouted out the enormous headline: "Xu Hanshan is a bloodthirsty man who drove his own sister and cousin to their deaths. Such an evil person, if Heaven has eyes, will surely sever his bloodline and take away his relatives. That vile woman's unborn child will be born deformed, and there's no turning back! Hahahaha! Retribution! This is retribution!" (This chapter has been read. Please click the next chapter to continue reading!)
