It's true what they say, there's no harm without comparison. He was content with his life and thought he was doing pretty well, but Tang Xinxin's remarriage was like a resounding slap in the face.
The whispers and pointing fingers of the onlookers made Chen Yong feel extremely uncomfortable. He lowered his head, grabbed his mother's arm, and hurriedly pulled her away.
......
The wedding convoy made a grand and flamboyant display as it drove through the city, attracting a large crowd of onlookers who wondered whose wedding was so extravagant. Even after entering the city center, the same message was visible everywhere – on shopping mall screens, large billboards, and more:
"Wishing Mr. He Zhan and Ms. Tang Xinxin a happy marriage and a long and happy life together."
Upon arriving at the Xianghe Hotel, we found that the entire hotel had been booked for the day and no outside guests were being accommodated, as the hotel owner had been notified in advance of his wedding. The guests all expressed their understanding.
A row of huge arched gates stood at the hotel entrance. The wedding venue on the third floor had been professionally decorated by a team. There was a dreamlike stage, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, and a thick white carpet on the glass T-shaped stage leading to the stage. Orange candles were lit on both sides in a staggered manner, and beautifully shaped artificial trees were used as decorations. The venue was filled with pink and white roses, all of which were kindly provided by Tang Xiaoxiao. The fragrance was very strong, and the whole venue was filled with a romantic and sweet atmosphere.
On the giant projection screen, wedding photos of He Zhan and Tang Xinxin were displayed. Guests took their seats one after another, and the wedding officially began. When Tang Xinxin walked out of the magnificent entrance pavilion, arm in arm with her father, and stepped onto the glass T-stage, the entire audience erupted in low gasps and whispers.
Besides the relatives from Tang's side, most of the guests at the event were relatives and business partners of He's family. They had all heard that He Zhan's remarried partner was a woman not much younger than him, and she had a child in her teens.
In their imagination, a woman in her thirties who has given birth, no matter how well she takes care of herself, can never compare to a young woman in her prime. Haven't you seen those so-called ageless female celebrities in the entertainment industry? They just age more slowly than ordinary people, not truly maintaining their best condition. And that's after spending who knows how much money to maintain that effect.
Everyone saw the couple's wedding photos scrolling across the screen. Tang Xinxin was indeed very beautiful in the photos, and she had a great figure. However, photos can be edited, especially wedding photos, which can be edited so much that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her. So, no one took it seriously.
Now that she's actually there, the lights are shining directly on her face for a close-up, and the bride is suddenly exposed to everyone. Her bright features, delicate skin, and shapely figure, her eyes squinting because she's suddenly being exposed to the light, and you can't even see a single fine line at the corner of her eyes. Is this a woman in her thirties?
You're kidding me!
She looks even better in person than in photos.
After the initial amazement, many men in the audience looked at He Zhan with a hint of envy and jealousy. They thought to themselves, "This guy has been celibate for over a decade, so his sudden bloom of passion must be suspicious."
If they could meet such a beauty, they would be tempted too!
Divorced, older, or with children—none of that matters!
The men were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, but many women had other thoughts on the matter.
