Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Liang ngyun’s Wedding, Heart Like Dead Ashes
The crowd’s gaze suddenly shifted, and it was hard to believe that Elder Mrs. ng could have done sothing so despicable, yet now she had the gall to cozy up and ingratiate herself.
Elder Mrs. ng’s entire body stiffened awkwardly, and she let out a dry laugh.
“That… that was a misunderstanding, there happened to be a power outage, it wasn’t who turned off the power, and it’s the fault of the irresponsible staff for not checking properly. You all didn’t get too hot, did you?”
“It was okay, Sang Qiao and I almost got heatstroke and ended up in the hospital, after all, even the hot water was hidden away by the staff, we truly didn’t expect that.”
ng Jiahe emphasized the words “the staff” heavily, knowing all too well that back then, Elder Mrs. ng had done it on purpose, or rather, she had been particularly unwilling to let them stay temporarily.
But it was in the middle of the night, and Mr. ng had insisted, with a tough attitude, that they stay for one night, which was when Elder Mrs. ng compromised.
“Hehe… it’s my fault, I will definitely teach that staff mber a lesson later. Jiahe, look how inconvenient it is for a girl like you to live outside; why not move back in?”
Elder Mrs. ng cursed this wretched girl inwardly for dredging up the past, making her lose face in front of everyone, yet the current ng Jiahe was not soone she could afford to offend.
“Big sister, move back in!” ng Wangge also followed in persuading her.
She had always envied others for having siblings to play with. She was always alone, and Sister Ah He was often not at ho.
“Yes, Jiahe, you’re not getting any younger, at ho we can also keep an eye out for suitable matches for you,” Mrs. ng said softly.
“No need, I can handle my matters myself; I don’t need you all to interfere,” ng Jiahe refused without hesitation, not wishing to be endlessly nagged at.
Elder Mrs. ng’s changed tone was based on her good relationship with Sang Qiao, which she understood very well.
No matter how high her position in Rose Entertainnt was, it couldn’t compare with the ng Family.
“Jiahe! How can you speak like that? We’re doing this for your own good,” Mrs. ng frowned, feeling uncomfortable with her daughter’s sowhat brusque words.
Wasn’t she her mother? How could she harm her?
“You didn’t plan to be good to before, now I don’t need it, so stop licking your lips and talking to . Qiaoqiao always keeps personal and business matters separate; she won’t give you special treatnt just because of . So drop any hopes of collaborating with Si Family and Sang Qiao, and follow the proper procedures for partnership.”
ng Jiahe’s deanor was tough, but inside she just felt annoyed, as her mother always put on a “I’m controlling you because it’s for your good” face.
“ng Jiahe! What kind of attitude is that? Don’t think everyone is after your money and social status.”
Mrs. ng was usually gentle, her tone soft and tender, but now she was visibly angered, and her complexion changed.
“Is that so?” ng Jiahe glanced aningfully towards Elder Mrs. ng.
Elder Mrs. ng, feeling the stares, her face flushed red with the many people around watching the spectacle.
She quickly interrupted, “Enough, enough, no more arguing, it’s soone else’s celebration, making a scene like this, what does it look like!”
Mrs. ng stopped at that point, realizing that scolding her daughter in such a mont was indeed inappropriate.
When the spotlight lit up the stage, and two figures walked down the long red carpet, Liang ngyun, clothed in a floor-sweeping white wedding dress, was led by Mr. Liang step by step towards the stage.
Liang ngyun’s eyes seed vacant, and when her hand was passed to Mr. Gu, she instinctively looked down at the crowd, searching for soone.
The first thing she saw was Sang Qiao’s table, which was quite conspicuous as the spotlight swept across the high-profile guests.
Seeing them dressed beautifully, Liang ngyun felt like laughing; after all, they were of the sa age. Sang Qiao was loved by Si Chenli, and ng Jiahe had Sang Qiao.
If the person asking to be with Sang Shen today was ng Jiahe, she thought Sang Qiao would definitely agree.
The more Liang ngyun thought about it, the more indignant she felt. They enjoyed life freely and beautifully, while her life was ruined and she even married a man a whole generation older than her.
Her heart was buried in jealousy and resentnt, yet she never stopped to consider, if ng Jiahe liked Sang Shen, ng Jiahe would definitely not ask sothing that would inconvenience Sang Qiao.
That was the difference between her and ng Jiahe.
“ng Yun, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and put the ring on for .” Mr. Liang saw her staring blankly without responding and could not help but urge her.
“…Okay.” Liang ngyun finally snapped back to her senses. Her movents slow, she took the ring and stretched out her hand towards him.
Her gaze unconsciously turned back to look at the crowd below, finally settling on a particular spot. That familiar face etched in her bones caused her pupils to constrict violently.
Her hand, clutching the ring, squeezed tightly and stopped in mid-air, motionless.
Mr. Gu grew impatient, “What are you looking at now? You’ve been unresponsive for ages. Are we getting married or not?”
The actions on stage naturally didn’t escape the eyes of those below. Even Mr. Gu’s questioning couldn’t go unnoticed by Sang Shen’s table.
Sang Siyang turned his head to look at his second brother, “Second brother, she seems to be looking at you. Has she not given up on you yet?”
“I’ve said I don’t like her and I’ve been very clear in my refusal. She has chosen to marry soone else; she should have let go by now. Don’t bring up and her again in the future.”
Sang Shen spoke these words lightly and dismissively as he glanced over the people on stage.
The Sang Family had a common trait: they either like soone or they don’t; they never lead anyone on.
Though Liang ngyun couldn’t hear what Sang Shen was saying with his lips moving, that indifferent gaze passing over her was utterly heartless.
She couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes turning red. Even if she were marrying such a man, Sang Shen would not pity her, let alone co up to the stage to rescue her from this predicant.
Suddenly resigned, Liang ngyun shakily put the ring on Mr. Gu’s finger.
“ng Yun, although I am a bit older, I’ll be good to you as long as you follow properly,” Mr. Gu said, satisfied as he looked at the ring on his finger.
He reached out to wipe the stubborn tears from the corner of her eyes and then slid the ring on her finger.
“Okay.” Liang ngyun replied numbly. What else could she say now that it had co to this?
If she did not marry Mr. Gu, the Liang family would fall. She could not be so selfish as to disregard her brother and father, especially since Sang Shen would never marry her.
After the ceremony was over, Mr. Gu led Liang ngyun to toast table by table. She was like a robot the entire ti, with no reaction, until they reached Sang Shen’s table.
Her hand gripping the wine glass involuntarily tightened.
“Thank you for attending our wedding. My spouse and I would like to toast you.”
The Sang Family mbers responded with close replies, all congrats and the like, but Liang ngyun clearly heard Sang Shen’s “Happy wedding.”
Her nose felt unbearably sour; how could Sang Shen be so cruel…
After that toast, Liang ngyun no longer had the energy to continue the hospitality. “I’m feeling unwell.”
“Then rest for a bit before we continue with the toasts. There’s no rush; let’s sit down and have sothing to eat.” Mr. Gu was still very accommodating toward her on these small matters.
He led her to sit and rest at their own family’s table.
