Shen Fenghe paused for a moment, then said coldly, "Let her go."
The room erupted in uproar.
Just after Gu Chunmian left, Gu Yixue slowly walked in carrying her wedding dress, asking only one question: "Are you getting married?"
Shen Fenghe clenched her fists and remained silent for a very long time.
It took so long that everyone held their breath, waiting for her answer.
Shen Fenghe turned around and looked at the emcee: "The wedding will continue."
Without any unnecessary words, the emcee was completely taken aback.
But the emcee was a man of the world, and after a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Okay...okay."
Gu Yixue stood next to Shen Fenghe, shoulder to shoulder with her, and when she looked to the side, she could only see the profile of Shen Fenghe.
The wedding continued.
It was like an absurd farce.
But no one dared to utter a sound, and Shen Fenghe and Gu Yixue completed the wedding.
Liang Shi stood not far away, and when Gu Yixue threw the bouquet, she threw it to her.
She instinctively threw it, and it landed in Shen Hui's arms.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment. Liang Shi then went over to apologize to Shen Hui and took the bouquet back.
Chapter 160
The wedding, which resembled a joke, became a topic of conversation among the wealthy and famous for a long time.
It's not uncommon for a younger sister to take someone else's place in a marriage.
Arranged marriages are always met with dislike.
It's not uncommon for a girl to be pushed out as a substitute bride when she's a child who's particularly favored by her parents and her arranged marriage partner isn't valued. It's not exactly big news.
But all of those were done in secret.
The two families agreed to find a pretext to change the marriage partner, and no one knew about it.
After that, people would just laugh it off at most, without much discussion value. It would be more interesting to chat about some celebrity gossip.
But Shen Fenghe and Gu Yixue are different.
She went to the wedding to stand in for the bride, and Gu Chunmian even appeared on the red carpet in a wedding dress. Just when they were about to get married, she abandoned Shen Fenghe.
Who doesn't know that Shen Fenghe is famously shrewd and capable?
Shen Fenghua's father is named Shen Yaobo. Under his leadership, the Shen family has risen to a higher level. The original Shen family was actually not as good as the Gu family. After all, the Gu family is a century-old family business that has successfully transformed from the era of heavy industry and in the torrent of the times, thanks to the blessings of its ancestors.
The Shen family was slightly outmatched.
However, under Shen Yaobo's leadership, the Shen family managed to rise to the same status as the Gu family, and it was from then on that the saying "two heroes of the sea" came about.
When the family business was passed down to Shen Fenghe, she managed to surpass the Gu family in every way.
It must be said that the younger generation of the Gu family is disappointing; none of them can shoulder any responsibility. The patriarch's favorite grandchild is Gu Chunmian, but she's just a pretty face. Even as she grew up, she was still obsessed with love. As soon as she turned twenty, she said she wanted to marry the person she loved, and she even eloped with her lover once.
Her so-called lover once broke up with her with ten million.
Later, when he was down on his luck, he returned to China and came back to Gu Chunmian's side, and Gu Chunmian accepted him.
Even when Gu Chunmian was pregnant, she brought her true love to the Gu family to force them into marriage, which made the Gu family patriarch almost faint.
Even so, the Gu family still did not give up on Gu Chunmian.
Since abortion is not allowed in China, the Gu family took Gu Chunmian abroad to find a private doctor to have the abortion. Gu Chunmian made a lot of trouble about it, but she couldn't win the argument.
You can't fight city hall.
She has to rely on the Gu family to be the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she is Gu Chunmian.
If she were to leave the Gu family, she would have no survival skills whatsoever; she would be nothing more than a stray dog.
So over the years, the Gu family couldn't control her, and she couldn't persuade the Gu family either.
The stalemate has continued until now.
The Gu family also has other direct descendants, many of whom are waiting to inherit the family business, but they are all uneducated and incompetent.
One person even got photographed trying to meet a celebrity, and then the minor celebrity set him up.
It was Shen Fenghe who helped suppress it at the time.
None of the younger generation in the Gu family are capable of anything.
Oh, except for Gu Yixue.
But who would have thought that the only one among the Gu family's grandchildren who would live up to expectations would be the Gu family's illegitimate daughter—Gu Yixue.
She was an ordinary Beta whose biological mother was dying. She knelt outside the Gu family's gate for two days and two nights, getting soaked in the rain for two nights, and she almost died from a high fever.
Due to evolutionary differences, Betas cannot smell the pheromones of Alphas and Omegas and are not affected by pheromones. Consequently, their physical abilities are generally not as good as those of Alphas and Omegas.
Most geniuses in this world are Alphas or Omegas.
Unfortunately, Gu Yixue was just a Beta.
An ordinary Beta.
However, Gu Yixue's appearance and intelligence both meet the criteria for A or O.
The little girl who almost died in the rain and endured countless humiliations went abroad at the age of sixteen and eventually amazed the world with the name Quella.
They are Chinese who have made a name for themselves in places frequented by foreigners.
Her achievements have moved the entire film and television industry.
Even if these celebrities look down on the film and television industry, they still know what's going on in the industry.
Therefore, many people said at the time that the Gu family might think highly of Gu Yixue.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yixue remained the most marginalized member of the Gu family.
The Gu family remains determined to save that hopeless son of a bitch.
Because Gu Chunmian is the legitimate one.
Gu Yixue was nothing more than an illegitimate child, poor and lowly.
These were the words that Gu's father used to scold Gu Yixue's mother. They were overheard by someone with ulterior motives and spread, which caused a controversy.
Gu Yixue never cared.
She dared to walk through that door in her wedding dress because she was fully prepared.
Even if there's a cliff ahead, she can move forward without hesitation.
How many times can a person be brave for themselves?
I'm afraid it will only happen once.
Few people could eat at the wedding banquet that day; only Gu Yixue and Shen Fenghe, the two parties involved, ate their fill as if nothing had happened.
Liang Shi managed to get a meal by following Gu Yixue, but since everyone around her barely touched their food, she felt too embarrassed to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Shen Hui came over to her and asked what was going on. Why did Gu Yixue come to steal the bride?
Liang Shi paused, then hesitated before saying, "I suppose this is called filling in a vacancy?"
Shen Hui: "..."
God the hell is filling in.
"Why did you get together with her?" Shen Hui asked. "In other words, why did you become her accomplice?"
Liang Shi: "...She's my friend."
"Alright then," Shen Hui said, "It's quite..."
Before the comment could be uttered, a crisp voice called out from behind, "Miss Liang, Ahui."
Liang Shi looked up and saw the aunt who had been sitting in the main seat earlier. She was the same aunt he had met at the entrance of the art museum's restroom that day. If he remembered correctly, her name was Zhu Mingqi.
Liang Shi roughly understood; this was Shen Hui's mother.
It's quite a coincidence, really.
She met these people from the Shen family at different times.
First it was Shen Hui, then Shen Siyan, then Shen Fenghe, and then Zhu Mingqi. Apart from Mr. Shen, she gathered up everyone in the Shen family.
Liang Shi greeted the other person politely: "Aunt Zhu."
While speaking, he glanced around several times, especially around the eyes.
But it's obvious that Zhu Mingqi's eyes don't resemble those of Shen Hui and Shen Fenghe.
However, the scene was chaotic just now, and she didn't have the time or the mind to look into Mr. Shen's eyes.
Their children must all resemble Mr. Shen.
"Xiao Liang," Zhu Mingqi said with a smile, seemingly unaffected by the farce at Shen Fenghe's wedding, "did you and Ahui know each other before?"
Liang Shi nodded: "We've met a few times."
Shen Hui was also surprised: "Mom, how do you know her?"
Zhu Mingqi smiled, "I had the chance to meet her once before at the art museum. This young lady seems to have a lot in common with you..."
She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, remembering that Liang Shi was already married.
There's no way to pair her with her daughter anymore.
Zhu Mingqi sighed, then changed the subject: "Look at Miss Liang, she's already married, and what about you? You don't even have a boyfriend."
Shen Hui: "..."
"Oh," Shen Hui said sarcastically, "I know her wife, so what?"
Zhu Mingqi secretly pinched her, "Keep causing trouble."
