1 Wedding Turned Funeral?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Sheng Hotel.

In the luxurious banquet hall, everyone was dressed up and seated. The wedding of the third young master of the Lu family, the number one family in Yun City, was in full swing. However, the groom, who should be the center of attention, was nowhere to be seen. In the middle of the high platform stood the bride in a white wedding dress, alone.

The groom did not show his face at the wedding venue, and Jiang Jiu instantly became the center of attention. Countless pairs of eyes landed on her with gloating mockery. All kinds of unpleasant discussions instantly came from all directions.

"See, I knew it. How can the Third Young Master marry such a woman? Everyone in Yun City knows that she drugged Third Young Master and destroyed the marriage alliance between the Lu family and the Gu family! Does she think she can marry into the Lu family happily like this?! Pfft, she's simply delusional!"

"Aiyo, don't you know? I heard that this woman was broken off by the little devil of the Song family not long ago. On the day of the engagement, Second Young Master Song left with his first love and didn't even look at her. Tsk tsk, a second-hand good dares to climb into the Third Young Master's bed. It's too disgusting."

"That's right, that's right. Our Third Young Master is such a perfect man. How can he be tainted by such a woman? I don't think the Third Young Master will appear today. Hahaha, let's see what she can do now. It's embarrassing to not have a groom at her wedding ceremony. If I were her, I would simply jump off a building!"

The jeers and whistles pierced one's eardrums. The scene suddenly became unscrupulous and there were all kinds of vicious words. Those people deliberately shouted loudly, like they were afraid that the person standing in the middle of the platform could not hear them.

Jiang Jiu was wearing a veil, so no one could see her expression clearly. However, was there a need to look? She had lost so much dignity at the wedding venue. She must be crying so hard that she wanted to die.

Time passed minute by minute, and the heated discussions of the surrounding crowd did not show any signs of dying down. The few batches of people sent by the Lu family returned in failure, and they did not find any traces of Lu Jinxing.

The two elders of the Lu family's faces were ashen. Mrs. Lu glared at the bride in the middle of the platform, anger surging in her heart. She was unwilling to let the most famous third young master of the Lu family in Yun City marry the Jiang family's notorious daughter because of public opinion.

The wedding dragged on. Jiang Jiu turned around and glanced down at the platform. The two elders of the Lu family in the seat in front of her had angry expressions. She looked at her parents again.

All she could see was their evasive gazes. They had no intention of standing up for her at all. In fact, because of the gossip around them, the Jiang couple wanted to turn around and leave, disowning their embarrassing daughter on the stage!

Jiang Jiu retracted her gaze and a faint smile appeared on her red lips. First, she was dumped during the engagement, and now she was being stood up by the groom at her wedding. She was really miserable and pitiful!

These people were indeed ruthless and hard-hearted. Were they really not afraid of forcing her to death?!

In front of the high platform, the host paced around nervously. The groom had yet to show his face. How was this wedding going to continue? However, he did not dare to stop. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

A huge pressure fell on the center of the platform. Jiang Jiu stood alone at the center of the storm. No one was willing to block the storm for her. Even her parents only had disdain and coldness in their eyes. At this time, only she could save herself.

It had always been just her.

After a moment, Jiang Jiu looked at the bridesmaid, Shi Yi, and nodded slightly. Meeting her gaze, Shi Yi hesitated for a moment before getting up and leaving.

A few minutes later, the bridesmaid, Shi Yi, walked to the center of the platform with a huge photo frame in her hands. When the people below the stage saw the photo in the photo frame, they exclaimed in unison.

"Ah—"

At the wedding ceremony, the groom's photo was enlarged to 16 inches and embedded in a black and white frame. It was obvious that she had taken it from the marriage certificate.

How could she put the groom's photo in a black-and-white frame at the wedding? This was very inauspicious. Mrs. Lu's face darkened and she was about to rush onto the stage.

Jiang Jiu picked up the microphone at the right time and said softly to everyone, "Everyone, I'm really sorry to keep everyone waiting. Jinxing suddenly has work to do and can't leave. I don't mind holding a wedding ceremony with his photo."

"The bride must be crazy. She's deliberately cursing the Third Young Master."

"But you can't blame the bride for everything. The groom hasn't appeared. Why did he leave the bride here alone?"

"Isn't marriage more important than work to the Third Young Master?"

At this moment, everyone looked at the Lu family. The two elders of the Lu family's expressions darkened, and Mrs. Lu stopped in her tracks. No matter how unwilling he was, he should not cause such a scene!

Below the high platform, someone raised their phone and took a video of the scene, quickly sending it out.

In the VIP room on the tenth floor of the hotel, the door was tightly shut. On the black leather sofa, the man's legs were crossed. His well-defined face was hidden in the shadows, and only his lips could be seen. The white shirt he was wearing had two buttons loosened, revealing his exquisite collarbone.

"F*ck!"

On the other side of the sofa, Wen Zhaonian raised his phone and couldn't help but curse.

Lu Jinxing slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the man beside him. "What?"

"See for yourself." Wen Zhaonian handed over his phone.

Lu Jinxing frowned and clicked on the video on his phone. When he saw the contents of the video, his chiseled face instantly darkened.

The enlarged photo in the frame was too conspicuous to ignore.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This woman is really ruthless. She cursed you on your wedding day?!"

Pa!

Lu Jinxing threw the phone on the coffee table and narrowed his long and narrow peach blossom eyes.

On the sofa at the side, Wen Zhaonian smiled cunningly and said, "Third Brother, it looks like this third sister-in-law is not easy to deal with. You have to be careful!"

Not easy to deal with? Lu Jinxing gently swirled the red wine in his glass and finished it. He casually threw the glass on the coffee table and stood up.

The female companion beside him immediately picked up the man's suit and reached out to help him put it on. "Third Young Master, are you really going back?"

The female companion had a curvaceous figure and her soft hands tried to wrap around his waist. "But didn't the Third Young Master say that he wouldn't appear at the wedding today?"

Lu Jinxing's face darkened. The woman beside him was instantly frightened by his cold gaze, and her raised hands quietly lowered.

"Did I say I wasn't going back?"

"You… you didn't say that," the female companion stammered.

Lu Jinxing hated it when women got carried away. He walked out with a cold expression. "Get lost!"

The female companion did not dare to stop him anymore. She watched as the man left and stomped her feet indignantly. Beside her, Wen Zhaonian smiled and left with his hands in his pockets. This was going to be fun. The arrogant Third Young Master of the Lu family had actually suffered a loss from a woman?

The banquet hall was in chaos. The white wedding dress on the bride was a stark contrast to the photo beside her. The wedding ceremony, which was supposed to be a joyous occasion, was about to turn into a funeral.

Jiang Jiu raised his head and endured the vicious gazes. She had long guessed that today's wedding would not go well. Everyone wanted to embarrass her, but she only wanted to protect herself.

"Look, Third Young Master is here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted. Jiang Jiu looked up and saw Lu Jinxing jumping onto the platform with one foot and walking slowly towards her.
