The absurd farce performed by Moses Chan and his son on stage was like a bombshell, instantly igniting the atmosphere and causing many friends and family members present to whisper and discuss among themselves.
A relative in the crowd frowned slightly and whispered to the person next to him, "Have you heard? Chen Hao's wife is a rural woman from another province!"
As soon as the words were spoken,
Relative B, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait to chime in: "Even though she comes from the countryside, she's really beautiful. Tsk tsk tsk, she's like a fairy."
However, just as people were praising the bride's beauty, some couldn't help but start criticizing her.
"Oh dear, these days, kids really have grown up! Five out of ten are traitors, ignoring their parents' words! Look at Chen Hao, his family is so well-off, he lives a comfortable and prosperous life, yet he gives up his bright future to marry a country girl. In my opinion, he must have lost his mind."
The speaker looked regretful and shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
At this moment, another insider chimed in, "That's right! I heard before that Chen Hao's dad introduced him to the daughter of a real estate company owner. She's such a good catch, a perfect match!"
"And what happened? This guy just wouldn't appreciate it, he absolutely looked down on her, but he took a fancy to this girl named Li Moyang. You can tell they're truly in love."
These remarks caused everyone to fall into deep thought, seemingly raising some doubts about the sincerity of the relationship.
Just then, an old man with a full head of white hair said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph! What bullshit true love! Back in our day, there was no such fancy stuff. Marriages were all arranged by parents, and we still lived happily ever after, didn't we? This Chen Hao is so disobedient and unfilial, he has completely disgraced our Chen family!"
The old man was so angry that he glared and trembled all over. Chen Ze, who was standing next to the old man, felt his face burning with embarrassment after hearing these words. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do and could only force a bitter smile.
He slightly raised his head and looked at the stage, where he saw Chen Hao and his father standing face to face. The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, and their heated argument was incessant.
At this moment, Chen Youfu, his face full of anger, glared at his son and shouted, "Hmph! Let me tell you, I will never acknowledge this daughter-in-law. If you insist on marrying her today, then I can tell you clearly that I will not leave you a single penny of my property in the future."
Faced with his father's unwavering stance, Chen Hao did not back down. He straightened his back and raised his voice to question, "Since you are so firmly opposed to our marriage, why are you here today? Did you come here just to cause trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Youfu snorted coldly and said irritably, "Do you think I wanted to come? If it weren't for your mother forcing me, I wouldn't have come."
Just then, Chen Hao's mother rushed between the father and son, trying to persuade them to stop arguing. She waved her hands and anxiously called out:
"Oh dear! Alright, alright, you two stop arguing! Look around, all our relatives and friends are watching. If you keep making a scene like this, everyone will just laugh at our family!"
Seeing this, Li Moyang, who was standing to the side, quickly reached out and gently tugged at Chen Hao's arm, softly advising, "Hao, stop arguing, so many people are watching! Let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"
After hearing his wife's words, Chen Hao turned his head, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
He gazed lovingly at Li Moyang's beautiful face, then slowly reached out and tightly grasped her soft, slender hand.
Then, in an incredibly firm tone, he said to her, "Wife, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side for the rest of my life and will never leave you. As for Dad's assets, I don't care at all; they're just a few stinking coins."
"Let's go, wife, let's go home!" After saying that, he took Li Moyang's hand and resolutely turned around and left the stage.
Li Moyang was moved to tears upon hearing Chen Hao's words.
Upon hearing this, the father-in-law nodded in satisfaction, a weight lifted from his heart. He stepped forward and patted Chen Hao on the shoulder, "Good lad, I hope you'll treat my precious daughter well."
“I will,” Chen Hao smiled and led Li Moyang off the stage.
Chen Youfu gritted his teeth in anger and pointed at their departing figures, shouting, "If you walk out of this hotel, never come back!"
Chen Hao acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to walk.
Li Moyang and her family followed behind, walking outside.
Just then, those relatives and friends who had been silently observing the situation from the sidelines, seeing the matter escalating, could no longer suppress their worries and took action one after another.
Several relatives who were close to the Chen family quickly approached Chen Youfu and earnestly advised him, "Youfu, don't be so impulsive. We're all family. Can't we talk things out?"
However, at this moment, Chen Youfu was like an angry bull, refusing to listen to anyone and completely ignoring these well-intentioned suggestions.
Meanwhile, the guests throughout the hotel began to whisper among themselves.
Some people looked at the empty head seat and muttered, "Oh dear, the main person has left, but we haven't even served any dishes yet! I really don't know whether we should leave now or stay and finish the meal before we go."
For a moment, everyone was caught in a dilemma, as no one wanted to appear too impolite or embarrassed because of this.
Meanwhile, Chen Ze and Wang Siyu, who had been sitting quietly in the front row, felt that there was no point in staying any longer after seeing that the person in question had left.
So, the two looked at each other and stood up in tacit agreement, slowly walking towards the door.
Along the way, people kept looking at them, but they didn't care at all and left this place full of strife with firm steps.
After getting into the car, Wang Siyu turned to her husband Chen Ze beside her and asked in confusion, "Honey, why didn't you try to persuade Chen Hao and his son in that situation? Maybe you could have eased the tension a bit."
Hearing his wife's question, Chen Ze shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile on his face, and said, "My dear wife, as the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes, let alone the fact that we don't have a particularly close relationship with their family. If we rashly intervene at this time, it will probably only make things worse."
After saying that, he sighed softly, started the car, and drove away from the hotel.
