The music on the stage sounded. Xie Shiâan held the brideâs arm and walked slowly across the red carpet, handing her over to Song Yu.
The emcee stepped forward with a smile. âAfter hearing the groomâs passionate confession, the bride must have a lot to say, right?â
Ruan Xiaoshuang took the microphone, and her soft and clean voice slowly resounded throughout the audience. âYes, 1 do have a lot to say.â
Everyone was silent, waiting for her next words.
Ruan Xiaoshuang lowered her eyes slightly. âJust now, Song Yu said that our encounter originated from a coincidence. To be exact, he saved my life when we first met.â
She didnât call Song Yu âAh Yuâ as she usually did. Instead, she called him by his full name.
Song Yu noticed this change and subconsciously looked up at Ruan Xiaoshuang.
âAt that time, I had just experienced an accident in my family. My body and mind were severely injured, and I was blind. 1 was already disheartened by everything that happened. Song Yu knew that 1 had no feelings for him, but he never forced me into anything. He patiently waited for me to accept him.â
âThat time was the calmest and most peaceful period of my life in the past year. He ran a small studio and sometimes couldnât make ends meet, but he never treated me as a burden. Instead, he took good care of me.â
âBefore 1 met him, 1 already had a failed relationship, but when 1 made up my mind to marry him, I really wanted to let go of the past and spend the rest of my life with him. 1 firmly believed that I didnât trust the wrong person. I thought I found the most suitable lover.â
Ruan Xiaoshuang took a deep breath and paused for a while.
Sang Qianqian stole a glance at her brother. She didnât know if it were the words âfailed relationshipâ or âthe most suitable loverâ that had provoked him, but his face was tense and cold, and his knuckles that were gripping the wine glass were slightly pale.
âUntil the eve of the wedding, 1 was still full of anticipation. I thought that Song Yu would be the person I would hold hands with for the rest of my life.â
Ruan Xiaoshuang opened her mouth again and smiled self-deprecatingly. âUnfortunately, 1 was wrong.â
The guests thought that the speech would be about the love between husband and wife, but Ruan Xiaoshuang suddenly said these words. Everyone was shocked as if they had been struck by lightning, faces filled with disbelief.
Sang Qianqian and Sang Minglang were both stunned. He obviously didnât expect Ruan Xiaoshuang to say this.
So, did she want to continue holding this wedding or not?
Everyoneâs eyes fell on Ruan Xiaoshuang. Song Yu, who was standing beside her, looked a little pale.
The emcee panicked and tried to smooth things over. âH-haha, the bride sure knows how to joke. Look at how scared our groom isâ¦â
âIâm not joking.â
Ruan Xiaoshuang interrupted the emcee. âI was wrong. 1 would rather die alone than marry Song Yu.â
Everyone was shocked, and the emcee was also stunned. He looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang and then at Song Yu. The scene in front of him was clearly beyond his control.
He stuttered as he tried to salvage the situation. â1-is there a misunderstanding here? Mr. Song, do you want to talk to the bride in privateâ¦â
âNo need.â
She interrupted the emcee, âI want to invite everyone to look at some photos. Shuhui, please play the contents of the USB flash drive I gave you.â
Yin Shuhui, who was in charge of controlling the computer, was stunned. Two days ago, Ruan Xiaoshuang suddenly contacted her and asked her to help play something at the wedding. She thought it was related to the wedding, so she naturally agreed.
Ruan Xiaoshuang had given her a USB drive after she arrived today. She told her to play it only when the bride was giving her speech, so Yin Shuhui had no idea what was in the USB drive.
Until now, when such a sudden change occurred at the wedding, she was simply dumbfounded and completely confused about the situation.
When she heard Ruan Xiaoshuang call her name, she came back to her senses and quickly inserted the USB drive into the computer, opening the photos inside.
It was obvious that the photos were taken at night. Although the light was a little dim, one could still clearly see the scene of Song Yu hugging and kissing a young woman on the street.
The guests were instantly in an uproar. Someone had already shouted, âWhatâs going on?â
Song Yu stood on the stage with his head lowered, not saying a word. His eyes were filled with shame and regret.
âI think these photos are enough to explain everything.â
âIâm sorry,â Ruan Xiaoshuang said slowly. âBut todayâs wedding ends here. Iâve made a fool of myself.â
She raised her hand and pulled off the white veil on her head, gently throwing it on the ground. âShiân, take me away from here.â
Xie Shiâan was already burning with anger. He almost rushed up to Song Yu and beat him up.
However, he had always restrained his temper. In his anger, he only glared at Song Yu fiercely, supported Ruan Xiaoshuang, and strode down the stage.
Song Yu chased after her with a pale face. âShuangshuang, let me explainâ¦â âExplain?â
Xie Shian turned around and sneered. âThe evidence is conclusive, and you still have the face to explain?â
âShuangshuang, Iâm sorry. 1 was wrongâ¦â
Song Yu shivered. He knew what Ruan Xiaoshuangâs departure meant.
He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. He knelt down in front of everyone and tugged at Ruan Xiaoshuangâs skirt. He said tearfully, âBut 1 was drunk at that time. 1-1 donât know what happened. Shuangshuang, please forgive me just this once. 1 promise I wonât do it again. If I do it again, I, Song Yu, will die without a burial placeâ¦â
âThen you can die now.â
A cold voice rang out from the guestsâ seats. Everyoneâs gazes turned to the source of the voice.
Sang Minglang calmly accepted everyoneâs gaze as he spoke, âSince itâs so lively here today, Iâll invite everyone to see something else. 1â11 also invite everyone to be a judge to see whether Song Yu deserves to die or not.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the LED screen on the stage suddenly flashed, and a surveillance video appeared on the screen.
At first, the scene was in a foreign restaurant. Song Yu was sitting opposite a young woman. Soon, they were on the streets. Song Yu was hugging the young woman and kissing her. The scene switched to another one, where the two of them entered a hotel room. Their clothes were disheveled and they began to have s*x on the sofaâ¦
After the video finished playing, the screen was dark for a moment before the second video started playing.
This video was shot from a hotel in Beijing. At night, Song Yu and the young woman entered the hotel one after another. The two of them were like a fire. As soon as the door was closed, the fire quickly burned largerâ¦
Those scenes were simply unbearable to look at.
Fortunately, there was no sound in the video. Otherwise, it wouldâve been really embarrassing.
The guests soon realized that Song Yu had not only cheated on her overseas, but he had also secretly met the other girl in the short two to three days after returning to Beijing.
Ruan Xiaoshuang couldnât see, so she naturally didnât know what Sang Minglang had displayed.. She only heard Xie Shiâanâs furious voice asking, âSong Yu, are you even human anymore?â
