“That’s rubbish!” Lin Yu screamed and made to pounce on Fang Xi, but Xi Cheng stopped her.

Fang Xi chuckled, “Yes, I’m talking rubbish. But do you think Mr. Xi Cheng believes it or not? Ms. Lin, you’re well aware of the power of the mouths of the masses, so you spared no effort to spread rumors to slander Ye Kun and I. I’m only returning the favor. I’m not one for such wicked and foul tricks, so I expressed my suspicions right before you. As for how to clear your name and prove your innocence, that’s your business!”

Lin Yu was so furious that she trembled all over. “Fang Xi! You b*tch!”

‘I lost to Fang Xi again,’ Lin Yu inwardly raged. She’d thought she would pull Fang Xi into hell even if she had to burn bridges with the Ye family today. She didn’t expect Fang Xi to be even more shameless than she was, actually bringing up all that nonsense.

“Miss Lin—ah, my apologies—Young Madam Xi,” Fang Xi sneered. “Do mind your manners! Don’t get angry just because I hit the nail on the head! Really, with your education and qualifications and your close friendship with Madam Xi, you should be at her bedside dutifully right now, no matter what. So, what’s this ridiculous and archaic farce about holding a wedding to ward off ill fortune?”

Fang Xi continued, “I think it can only come down to two reasons: one, you’re afraid that you’ll have to observe a three-year mourning period should Mrs. Xi pass away. You fear that if you wait any longer, Xi Cheng will have a change of heart and leave you. Or two, you’re afraid that Mrs. Xi won’t let Xi Cheng marry you when she wakes up, and you’ll lose everything.”

“So, the best option is to take the chance to get married immediately! Well, did I get it right? But it doesn’t matter whether my speculations are right or wrong. No matter what, it has nothing to do with us. We’re just spectators watching the show!”

Xi Cheng stared sorrowfully at Fang Xi with a complicated expression. “Fang Xi

Fang Xi looked at him calmly and detachedly. “Mr. Xi Cheng, I have two things to thank you for! First, thank you for not marrying me, thus allowing me to meet someone who truly loves me. I’m getting married soon.”

“Second, thank you for trapping me in Ling Yun Borough that day. Although your trap almost took my life, it also allowed me to recover my memories through some odd coincidence. Though my memories aren’t the happiest, I have never been one to cower from the truth. I don’t deny that I once loved you, but that was in the past!”

“You didn’t cherish it when I loved you, but you’re madly trying to salvage our relationship when I don’t love you anymore. Don’t you find it ridiculous? Belated affection is meaningless. Xi Cheng, thank you for letting me know who loves me the most in comparison!”

Fang Xi then swept her gaze across the audience and stated, “We came here in all sincerity today to give our well wishes! Unfortunately, the newlyweds don’t appreciate it, so I might as well be clear. I, Fang Xi, walk the straight and narrow path with integrity, but I’m also petty and vindictive. I will repay the slander to my person in full; I will not tolerate or forgive such actions.”

“I don’t wish to take up public resources with my private matters, and I’m even more reluctant to expose my personal relationships to the public. I have the right to protect my honor and dignity and will not compromise with any slanderer.”

“But that’s enough about me. Today is a special day, and the stars of the show are the bride and groom. I sincerely wish you two a happy marriage! I hope you two live together to a ripe old age! Be good to each other and stop harassing others!”

When she finished, Fang Xi sat back in her wheelchair with the help of Yun Nan and Lu Hui. Xu Yun and Kong Zhen busied themselves handling the host and the guests, telling the host, “Hurry up and get this wedding moving along,” and the guests, “Everyone, please enjoy yourselves!”

Lin Yu dearly wished she could chase the group out. Lu Ying impassively said to her, “I would pretend that none of this happened if I were you. Otherwise, if you continue to cause trouble, all your efforts will be in vain.”

Ye Kun shielded Fang Xi from Xi Cheng’s gaze and wheeled her down the stage. Yun Nan turned around and told Xi Cheng, “Her leg will never be as it was. Are you and your wife satisfied now? Xi Cheng, search your heart and ask yourself, What did she do wrong aside from falling in love with you without hesitation?

What wrong did she commit that she had to pay for it with her legs?”

Xi Cheng trembled as he stared at Yun Nan in disbelief. Yun Nan coldly looked away and fixed her gaze on Lin Yu. “What goes around, comes around. There’s no proof, so we can only suffer in silence, but I believe in karma! Everyone will get their just rewards and punishments, so look out, Lin Yu!”

Under Shi Nian’s instructions, the host finally got his act together and did some fast-talking to smooth over the awkward atmosphere. He proceeded on with the wedding ceremony, taking the guests to the banquet phase of the wedding.

Everyone tacitly pretended that nothing had happened and gathered in groups of three to five, bonding and giving each other polite compliments. The whole scene appeared festive and peaceful on the surface.

However, Xi Cheng and Lin Yu didn’t show up again even until the end of the banquet, but Xu Yun and Kong Zhen kept their word about acting on behalf of Han Yuan and took on the role of being hospitable and attentive hosts to the guests..ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt
