Chapter 11o: Preparing For A Show

The butler, Song Zhi, looked at the trending news on his phone and then glanced at the family patriarch, Old Master Song An, his face awash with uncertainty.
Although Song An was engrossed in reading the newspaper, he sensed the intense gaze of the butler. He turned his head and inquired, “What’s the matter? Did you see some news? Has Song Ling announced his marriage to Jiang Yue?”
Song Zhi was startled that the old master had guessed it right away. He spoke softly, “Master, it seems the young master is indeed planning to marry Jiang Yue. Please don’t get agitated. We can call him over and reveal the truth about Jiang Yue. I’m sure he’ll come to his senses.”
However, Song An hadn’t merely guessed; Wang Lan had mentioned it to him a few times in the past couple of days, even hoping that he would attend Song Ling and Jiang Yue’s wedding ceremony.
Attend?
Don’t even dream of it.
Song An’s eyes slightly lowered as he murmured, “No, don’t tell Song Ling.”
Song Zhi was puzzled, unable to comprehend why they should let the young master remain in the dark.
Reading the confusion on Song Zhi’s face, Song An elaborated, “I mean, don’t tell him now. Tell him on the day of his wedding. You will go in my place and reveal the truth to Song Ling during the ceremony.”
After he heard Song An’s plan, Song Zhi couldn’t help but think. This is ruthless, truly ruthless.
But perhaps this was the only effective strategy. After all, the old master had tried to call Song Ling to the mansion several times before, but he had always stormed in shouting about marrying Jiang Yue, never giving the old master a chance to speak.
Back at his home, Meng Zhi also saw the trending news. He rolled off his bed, agitated, and opened a group chat with his two brothers.
Meng Zhi said, Big brother, second brother, Song Ling and that brat Jiang Yue are getting married!
Meng Si responded, Don’t worry, we’ve already prepared everything.
Meng Chuan added, Heh, we’ll make sure their wedding is “lively.” We’ll see if Song Ling will still go through with it after it trends again.
Unbeknownst to Gu Dai, people around her had already set the stage for a grand spectacle, waiting for her to witness it.
Time flew by, and the day of the wedding arrived.
Wang Lan and Song Yu stood at the entrance of the wedding venue, welcoming guests with beaming smiles.
“So envious of you, Mrs. Song. Your son is so excellent and he’s marrying such a beautiful wife.”
“If only our sons were as promising.”
“Such blessings are not for the ordinary. Clearly, the guidance of a good mother is at play. We should all learn from Mirs. Song’s parenting experience.”
Compliments poured into Wang Lan’s ears, and she could barely contain her pride. Nevertheless, she humbly replied, “Oh, it’s all because Song Ling is sensible. I hardly did anything for him…”
“Of course you didn’t do anything. With your character, how could you possibly raise a child as excellent as Song Ling?”
Wang Lan’s smile faltered. She turned her gaze to the source of the comment and coldly said, “Zhang Hua, 1 don’t want to engage in a war of words with you on this auspicious day. Your grudge against me is simply because your daughter likes my son, and I disapprove, right?”
Zhang Hua was taken aback that Wang Lan had actually brought this up. Her expression darkened instantly.
Her daughter, Zhang Yue, was unfazed. She chimed in, “My mother is just stating facts. Besides, if Song Ling were raised by you, he probably wouldn’t be the person he is now, and I wouldn’t even like him.”
Wang Lan was taken aback that Zhang Yue dared to confront her. She pointed a finger at her and yelled, “You wret—”
Song Yu quickly pulled Wang Lan aside and whispered urgently, “Mom, don’t forget we’re live streaming this. If people see this, it will be a disgrace for the Song family!”
Snapping back to reality, Wang Lan suppressed her displeasure and announced to the crowd, “The wedding ceremony is about to begin. Please proceed inside.”
Zhang Hua wasn’t foolish; she knew Wang Lan was about to insult her daughter. So as she walked in, she couldn’t resist adding, “I didn’t see Old Master Song here. Is he displeased with Song Ling and Jiang Yue’s wedding?”
Wang Lan wanted to choke Zhang Hua.. So meddlesome!
