Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin were so shocked, they immediately stood up. They had never expected Yan Beicheng to say those words on stage. Even more unexpected for them was that Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu were together!

How did Lin Chu get so lucky to be able to get to know Yan Beicheng and be with him? Where did she get the opportunity to know him?!

On the other side, Wang Jinglin suffered a blow. Her face was extremely pale as she held tight to Cheng Jindong’s arms, “This… This is impossible… How… How did…”

How did Lin Chu land herself such an incredible man? Cheng Ziming may have been outstanding but Cheng Ziming would not even be qualified to be compared to Yan Beicheng.

She… She did not want to see Lin Chu have a good life!

While she used to think that Lin Chu was not bad, but she still hoped that she would not find anyone better than Cheng Ziming. In Wang Jinglin’s heart, nobody could compare to her son. She wanted Lin Chu to always remember her son, for her husband to never live up to Cheng Ziming. The more she remembered how outstanding Cheng Ziming was, the better.

Even when she found out that Su Changxin was introducing Yang Zhiyuan to Lin Chu, Wang Jinglin was unwilling. She thought that Su Changxin was being too nice to Lin Chu. For someone of Lin Chu’s status, how could she marry into such a rich family?

If it was up to her, Lin Chu would best suit a normal working man who was of the same stature as her. They should just live normal lives together.

Who knew, that somewhere along the way, Lin Chu had gotten into a relationship with Yan Beicheng.

It… It was only not too long ago that she and Cheng Ziming broke up.

As she watched Yan Beicheng’s walking down the stage, Wang Jinglin was not sure if she imagined it, but it looked very alike the back of the person she saw in front of the washroom.

However, this time, Yan Beicheng had taken off his coat and was in his suit. He looked a little different from when he was at the restroom.

When Yan Beicheng walked in, Wang Jinglin had only focused on Yan Beicheng’s face. In addition to the low lights, she did not notice what his coat looked like.

“You… Both of you…” Su Changxin was dumbfounded. She did not know what to say.

As Yan Beicheng walked down the stage and stood in front of his seat, Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin had lost the excitement and joyousness they felt previously.

Did anyone hear Yan Beicheng’s words? Were those blessings? He was here to create trouble!

He also took the opportunity to inform that even if he was in a relationship with Lin Chu, the Lin family would have nothing to do with him. They would not have the chance to take advantage of him!

Yan Beicheng ignored Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin and sat back in his seat cheerfully and comfortably. He secretly winked at Lin Chu.

Lin Chu did not plan on spoiling Cheng Ziming and Lin Yuwen’s wedding, but since Yan Beicheng wanted to help her get revenge, she felt pretty good about it and said quietly, “That’s naughty.”

“…” Yan Beicheng clicked his tongue with dissatisfaction. He was waiting for her praise, not for her to tell him it was naughty.

Lin Chu felt her head go numb at Yan Beicheng’s deep gaze, which had a little look of begrudge in them. It was not the time to give him praise in front of the Lin family. She had to leave the Lin family with some dignity.

Moreover, they were already having a really bad day today.

Lin Zhenghe no longer wanted to keep Yan Beicheng here. He wanted to kick him out along with Lin Chu. He was now suspicious of Lin Chu exacting revenge on the Lin family by keeping her relationship with Yan Beicheng a secret.

Lin Zhenghe also felt a little guilty. They had never treated Lin Chu well. They even intended to marry Lin Chu to an old man like Yang Zhiyuan.

The program on stage continued as usual, but with Yan Beicheng’s interruption, the bride and groom had lost all their mood. The emcee was also aware of their mood change. While his voice continued to boom with enthusiasm, he had also obviously sped up the progress on stage to finish it up early and allow the newlyweds to step down the stage.

Lin Yuwen tried her best to repress the rage in her heart and went to the lounge behind the stage with Cheng Ziming to rest.

The moment she entered the lounge, Lin Yuwen smashed all the make-up on the table, scaring the wedding make-up artists.

Cheng Ziming was still able to hold in his anger and got the make-up artists to leave the lounge first.

He closed the door and his handsome face twisted with anger.

“She… How did she end up with Yan Beicheng?! Is this a joke? Am I dreaming?” Lin Yuwen was trembling with anger.

Cheng Ziming’s face was grim as he was thinking about something.

“Say something! I expected Lin Chu to do badly, now what do we do?” Lin Yuwen nearly said it out loud, that Lin Chu had no business doing better than she did. She does not deserve a man better than hers!

When Lin Chu was brought into the Lin family at age 7, Lin Yuwen had thought that an orphan had no right to call her a sister and claim what was rightfully hers.

In addition, Su Changxin had often taught Lin Yuwen to snatch anything that belonged to Lin Chu. She had stolen Cheng Ziming away from Lin Chu because she not only thought Cheng Ziming was a good catch, but also, he was Lin Chu’s boyfriend.

When Cheng Ziming met her, it was like discovering true love. Regardless of how much he would stand to gain, at the end of the day, he was still very good to her. He had even ganged up with her when it came to looking down on Lin Chu. Lin Yuwen was, after all, the only daughter of the Lin family. She was meant to inherit Lin Mao in the future.

Instead of looking for another rich man who might take over Lin Mao for himself, it would be better to be with someone like Cheng Ziming. He had no business foundations and would need to rely on her. He would need to obey her, as he was considered to be married into her family, not the other way around.

She did feel good about snatching Cheng Ziming away from Lin Chu’s side. But as time grew, she did find true love in Cheng Ziming.

“I don’t think Lin Chu will last long with Yan Beicheng,” Cheng Ziming said in a low voice.

Lin Yuwen calmed down a little after hearing his words, “Of course! How could Yan Beicheng be serious with Lin Chu?!”

Cheng Ziming nodded, “Don’t worry. I have something against her. Yan Beicheng would be sure to dump her.”

“What is it that you have?” Lin Yuwen was pleasantly surprised.

Cheng Ziming shook his head, “I’ll tell you when I’ve got everything settled.”

He saw Lin Yuwen face fell; she was not happy with this. Cheng Ziming quickly came to her and hugged her at the shoulders. He gently rubbed her nose, “Look at you, haven’t I always told you how straightforward you are? You’ve always been naïve. If I told you in advance, you’re going to accidentally reveal my plans. Let me handle this first and tell you about it later.”

Cheng Ziming was thinking about the Grand Cherokee.

Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng have gotten together for just a short time. She has been seeing Yan Beicheng and, on the side, another old man who drove that Grand Cherokee. Yan Beicheng was being cuckolded. He would not be able to tolerate it.

Lin Yuwen’s faced brightened up at Cheng Ziming’s words.

“Okay, let’s not think too much about it. Have a rest and we’ll go out to give our toasts. Don’t let Yan Beicheng notice anything. If he does, he might do something to our family, and that would be a disaster.”

“I know,” Lin Yuwen nodded irritably.

The dishes were served very quickly at the banquet, and not long after, all the tables were filled with dishes. Even though the set meals at banquets were not the best tasting, but it was, after all, Sheng Yue. The craftmanship there was much better than other hotels.

There was not much creativeness in terms of the dishes. There was sea cucumber, abalone, fish, etc. There was nothing new on the tables.

No one was in the mood to eat at the Lin family table. All they did was toast each other. Yan Beicheng was the only one placing food on Lin Chu’s plate while he did not eat much.

“Sweet and sour Mandarin fish, that’s your favorite. I’ve especially given the order for them to make it with extra care since I know you’ll be here,” Yan Beicheng said to Lin Chu, completely ignoring everyone else.

Was he suggesting that no one would have anything nice to eat if Lin Chu was not here?

Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin were disgusted about the whole situation, but they did not dare say anything to Yan Beicheng. If Yan Beicheng was not here, they would have torn Lin Chu apart!

When Yan Beicheng was done feeding Lin Chu, it was also time for Cheng Ziming and Lin Yuwen to start toasting all the tables. Yan Beicheng, however, continued to ask Lin Chu, “Are you full?”

Lin Chu nodded. Even if she was still hungry, she was already full just by looking at the expression of Lin Zhenghe and the others. One could not have much of a good appetite eating here.

“Then let’s go. We have something to do, we’ll take our leaves first,” Yan Beicheng said and nodded coldly towards Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin.

He brought Lin Chu away with him. He took his time walking out and allowed the guests to witness them leaving without toasting the newlyweds. It looked like there was not much of a relationship between him and the Lin family.

Lin Yuwen and Cheng Ziming had just started toasting each table after resting for a while. Lin Yuwen saw Yan Beicheng taking Lin Chu with him, and they were now at the door.

It was like something just snapped Lin Yuwen’s mind. She no longer had the mood to give any toasts. Lin Chu did this on purpose, she came here with Yan Beicheng to create trouble and destroy her wedding night, she did not even bother to pretend to be civil.

Lin Yuwen ran after them with a grim face. Cheng Ziming hurried up as his expression changed, “Yuwen, what are you doing? We still need to toast each table.”

“What is there to toast? Someone has already created trouble for us here! I was wondering why Lin Chu readily agreed to attend the wedding. It was because she wanted to create trouble and embarrass us!” Lin Yuwen said as she walked out.

Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin noticed something wrong and ran up to try to stop her, but they could not do anything and could only follow Lin Yuwen.

The crowd watched as everyone started to guess what was going on. They had initially planned to get closer to the Lin family on account of their relationship with Yan Beicheng, but they have all put a stop to that thought. They were even considering pulling away from the Lin family when the time was right.

Yan Beicheng did not care what anyone was thinking about while it did not cross Lin Chu’s mind to think about these people. However, Yan Beicheng made a stop at the entrance where the red packets were collected when he was leading her out the hall.

Lin Chu looked at Yan Beicheng in surprise, “I’ve already given mine when I arrived.”

The Lin family did not care about the few thousand dollars given by Cheng Ziming’s relatives and friends, all of whom were common people whose most generous packet was two or three thousand. The Lin family’s invitees, however, are those whose packets start from at least five figures, and that was rare. Those who cared about their reputation gave six-figure numbers. Their cheques were placed in the red packets. The packets were thin and low-profile, yet extravagant.

However, Lin Chu was still considered an intern in Lin Yi. She did not earn a high salary and had never depended on the Lin family, which was why she could not contribute a lot to her packet. She could only fork out three thousand. Even if the Lin family had accused her of being stingy, she could not care less. She was just here to attend the ceremony and give her red packet. Nothing was embarrassing about the whole situation. She just wanted to make sure that Cheng Ziming was not going to accuse her of not giving a red packet because she was still not over him.

Yan Beicheng did not say a word and took out a cheque. The person who was in charge of the red packets was dumbfounded when he glimpsed the numbers on it.

Yan Beicheng handed over the red packet and said casually, “This is considered a thank you gift to Cheng Ziming and Lin Yuwen.”

He started to take Lin Chu away when a shrill voice called out behind him, “Lin Chu, stop there!”

Yan Beicheng raised his eyebrow and stopped. Both of them looked back and saw Lin Yuwen running towards them in her wedding dress. Cheng Ziming followed close behind with Lin Zhenghe and his wife.

“Lin Chu, how shameless can you be? This is such an important day for me but you deliberately came to create trouble. If you weren’t sincere with your blessings, you shouldn’t have come! Stop pretending to have a magnanimous attitude towards everything. You disgust me!” Lin Yuwen pointed at Lin Chu in a rage.

Lin Chu wanted to ignore her. She had never planned for trouble today. She had no idea that Yan Beicheng would do what he did. She had initially thought to just get through the wedding ceremony and it would be over. She had not expected Yan Beicheng to do this and she did not feel there was anything wrong with it. Yan Beicheng was sticking up for her and she was happy about it. Naturally, she accepted Yan Beicheng’s intentions and his consideration for her.

She would not offend Yan Beicheng on account of the Lin family by rejecting his attempt to do her good. Why did Lin Yuwen think that only she was allowed to bully others, while others were not allowed to retaliate her bullying?

Who did Lin Yuwen think she was to want everybody coaxing her and bullying others for her amusement?

“Master Yan, don’t get cheated by her! She is the best when it comes to acting innocent, sitting on her high horse like she has done nothing wrong. It’s always the fault of others when it comes to her, she’s always acting like she is being bullied but pretends she is so generous to let go of it,” Lin Yuwen was full of hate as she clenched her teeth. It was so irritating to see Lin Chu acting so calm.

Lin Chu was still looking at her, expressionless. It was like nothing she said mattered to her. She was not afraid of Yan Beicheng believing her words, which made Lin Yuwen so mad that she could feel her brain was about to explode.

“These are all part of her pretense! You’ll find out soon enough after spending time with her! I’ve spent tens of years with her and have seen her for who she really is! You can ask my mother-in-law if you don’t believe me. My mother-in-law is the kindest person in the world. She has always treated Lin Chu as her daughter but even she has realized Lin Chu’s true colors.”

Wang Jinglin and Cheng Jindong rushed over and hear Lin Yuwen said those words. There were flustered about being suddenly pulled into the situation.

Lin Chu might still be indifferent towards Lin Yuwen, but she was not about to let her continue to spout nonsense. No one would have that much patience. However, she suddenly felt a few light squeezes on her hand, which was wrapped within Yan Beicheng’s hands.

Next, she heard Yan Beicheng said apathetically, “Miss Lin, I will be remembering your defamation and accusations towards my girlfriend today. As for what’s next for the Lin family…”

Yan Beicheng gave a smile that spoke volumes, “Well, we’ll have a long time to deal with that.”

“Obviously, the Lin family does not welcome us. We’ll take our leave then,” Yan Beicheng said casually.

It started with only Lin Yuwen creating a ruckus, but Yan Beicheng had extended it to the entire Lin family. Every guest who witnessed the scene were now aware that Yan Beicheng would no longer be associated with the Lin family.

Looking back at Lin Yuwen’s actions, it was understandable that she was angry about her wedding being wrecked, but she really should have understood who she was dealing with. No matter how angry she was, she had to tolerate it. While the situation may have been embarrassing, it was better than being embarrassed and causing the Lin family to suffer a loss at the same time.

Everyone there could not help but sighed or shook their heads. They had thought that it was a brainless act on Lin Yuwen’s part. In the past, they had heard that she was quite a capable person, who knew she would end up acting this way…

Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin were shocked over Yan Beicheng’s words. Would Yan Beicheng really take action against the Lin family over such a small matter?

Lin Zhenghe personally thought that it was unlikely. It would not be good for Yan Beicheng’s reputation if people had found out about it.

Yan Beicheng did not care about their thoughts. He started pulling Lin Chu along when she tugged his hand.

“Wait,” Lin Chu said. Yan Beicheng did not let go, so Lin Chu pulled him along towards the table where the red packets were collected.

Everyone watched as Yan Beicheng followed behind Lin Chu obediently as she pulled him along. There was an honest to goodness smile on his face. He looked completely different from that cold, calculating person just now. This confused those who thought they knew who Yan Beicheng was, and everyone started to re-evaluate their impression of him.

Lin Chu said coldly to the person in charge of the red packet collection, “I’d like to take back the red packet we gave out just now.”

Everyone was stunned. Who would demand their red packet after gifting it out? This… This was outrageous!
