Chapter 544 - 574: Even Heaven Can’t Stand It
Shen Yi said, "Wouldn’t it be bad to show up empty-handed?"
Qin Jiao considered it. ’You’re right, it wouldn’t look good. After all, we’re factory owners. There will probably be quite a few business associates there for the wedding.’
Even though they were both still in school, they didn’t leave all the business matters for Sun Jianhua to handle alone.
When it came to making appearances, decisions, or handling communications, Shen Yi and Qin Jiao would take turns.
They couldn’t just be irresponsible, hands-off bosses.
And Shen Feng was Shen Zhengfeng’s son, so many of North City’s most prominent business figures were sure to attend the wedding.
Shen Yi made the final call. "Let’s just give them 250 yuan!"
The corner of Qin Jiao’s mouth twitched.
’So savage.’
In the end, though, they didn’t give that much. They would rather spend that kind of money buying Grandpa Du some nice food.
However, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi still dressed to the nines for the wedding. But perhaps it was true that bad people have bad luck, because on the morning of Shen Feng and Lin Nian’s wedding, a torrential downpour began.
In the end, the rain was so heavy that the firecrackers wouldn’t even go off.
And to make matters even more ridiculous, when the groom was carrying the bride to the car, he must have stepped on something, because his foot slipped, and the couple went sprawling.
Rumor had it the bride’s face was swollen from the fall.
Qin Jiao had arrived at the banquet hall early. When she overheard others whispering about the incident, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she almost burst out laughing.
Shen Yi, who was beside her, quickly poured her a glass of orange juice. He whispered, "Heaven really must have it out for these two. Looks like even getting married is a struggle for them."
"Still, Lin Nian is pretty impressive."
If nothing else, managing to successfully marry into the Shen Family under these circumstances was no small feat.
After so many mishaps, by the time Qin Jiao and the others finally saw the bride and groom, neither of them looked happy.
Lin Nian’s face was swollen from the fall. Makeup artists in this era didn’t have the kind of transformative skills they would later develop, so even after some emergency touch-ups, Lin Nian was destined to go through her wedding with her face swollen up like a pig’s.
As for Shen Feng, his face was sullen and his eyes were lifeless. Anyone could tell that the groom wasn’t the least bit happy.
Of course, most people assumed the groom was unhappy because of all the accidents that day. After all, it was supposed to be his big day. Who would be happy when so many things went wrong?
It wasn’t just the groom who was unhappy. Everyone turned to look and saw that the groom’s parents weren’t happy either. When they noticed all eyes on them, they could only force a dry smile.
Someone whispered, "Doesn’t this wedding feel a little... strange?"
Another person replied, "You must not have heard. The one that Shen Feng was dating before was the girl from the Old Sun Family."
"So how did that fall through? Why did he marry this one?"
"Could it be because she’s pregnant?"
All eyes went to the bride’s stomach, which was flat. She probably wasn’t pregnant.
If the bride had been pregnant, a fall like that earlier would have likely caused her to miscarry.
But then the crowd grew curious again. Why weren’t any of the bride’s family members here? Was she all alone?
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, but the wedding proceeded. The Shen Family were all just wishing for the ceremony to end quickly. But just as the emcee announced that the bride and groom could exchange rings, a man with a large beard suddenly burst in from outside.
The bearded man pointed at Lin Nian on the stage and bellowed, "You shameless woman! You were my wife, and now you’re marrying another man? What about me, then? I spent one thousand yuan to marry you!"
