The music on the stage sounded. Xie Shi’an held the bride’s arm and walked slowly across the red carpet, handing her over to Song Yu.
The emcee stepped forward with a smile. “After hearing the groom’s passionate confession, the bride must have a lot to say, right?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang took the microphone, and her soft and clean voice slowly resounded throughout the audience. “Yes, 1 do have a lot to say.”
Everyone was silent, waiting for her next words.
Ruan Xiaoshuang lowered her eyes slightly. “Just now, Song Yu said that our encounter originated from a coincidence. To be exact, he saved my life when we first met.”
She didn’t call Song Yu “Ah Yu” as she usually did. Instead, she called him by his full name.
Song Yu noticed this change and subconsciously looked up at Ruan Xiaoshuang.
“At that time, I had just experienced an accident in my family. My body and mind were severely injured, and I was blind. 1 was already disheartened by everything that happened. Song Yu knew that 1 had no feelings for him, but he never forced me into anything. He patiently waited for me to accept him.”
“That time was the calmest and most peaceful period of my life in the past year. He ran a small studio and sometimes couldn’t make ends meet, but he never treated me as a burden. Instead, he took good care of me.”
“Before 1 met him, 1 already had a failed relationship, but when 1 made up my mind to marry him, I really wanted to let go of the past and spend the rest of my life with him. 1 firmly believed that I didn’t trust the wrong person. I thought I found the most suitable lover.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang took a deep breath and paused for a while.
Sang Qianqian stole a glance at her brother. She didn’t know if it were the words ‘failed relationship’ or ‘the most suitable lover’ that had provoked him, but his face was tense and cold, and his knuckles that were gripping the wine glass were slightly pale.
“Until the eve of the wedding, 1 was still full of anticipation. I thought that Song Yu would be the person I would hold hands with for the rest of my life.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang opened her mouth again and smiled self-deprecatingly. “Unfortunately, 1 was wrong.”
The guests thought that the speech would be about the love between husband and wife, but Ruan Xiaoshuang suddenly said these words. Everyone was shocked as if they had been struck by lightning, faces filled with disbelief.
Sang Qianqian and Sang Minglang were both stunned. He obviously didn’t expect Ruan Xiaoshuang to say this.
So, did she want to continue holding this wedding or not?
Everyone’s eyes fell on Ruan Xiaoshuang. Song Yu, who was standing beside her, looked a little pale.
The emcee panicked and tried to smooth things over. “H-haha, the bride sure knows how to joke. Look at how scared our groom is…”
“I’m not joking.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang interrupted the emcee. “I was wrong. 1 would rather die alone than marry Song Yu.”
Everyone was shocked, and the emcee was also stunned. He looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang and then at Song Yu. The scene in front of him was clearly beyond his control.
He stuttered as he tried to salvage the situation. “1-is there a misunderstanding here? Mr. Song, do you want to talk to the bride in private…”
“No need.”
She interrupted the emcee, “I want to invite everyone to look at some photos. Shuhui, please play the contents of the USB flash drive I gave you.”
Yin Shuhui, who was in charge of controlling the computer, was stunned. Two days ago, Ruan Xiaoshuang suddenly contacted her and asked her to help play something at the wedding. She thought it was related to the wedding, so she naturally agreed.
Ruan Xiaoshuang had given her a USB drive after she arrived today. She told her to play it only when the bride was giving her speech, so Yin Shuhui had no idea what was in the USB drive.
Until now, when such a sudden change occurred at the wedding, she was simply dumbfounded and completely confused about the situation.
When she heard Ruan Xiaoshuang call her name, she came back to her senses and quickly inserted the USB drive into the computer, opening the photos inside.
It was obvious that the photos were taken at night. Although the light was a little dim, one could still clearly see the scene of Song Yu hugging and kissing a young woman on the street.
The guests were instantly in an uproar. Someone had already shouted, “What’s going on?”
Song Yu stood on the stage with his head lowered, not saying a word. His eyes were filled with shame and regret.
“I think these photos are enough to explain everything.”
“I’m sorry,” Ruan Xiaoshuang said slowly. “But today’s wedding ends here. I’ve made a fool of myself.”
She raised her hand and pulled off the white veil on her head, gently throwing it on the ground. “Shi’n, take me away from here.”
Xie Shi’an was already burning with anger. He almost rushed up to Song Yu and beat him up.
However, he had always restrained his temper. In his anger, he only glared at Song Yu fiercely, supported Ruan Xiaoshuang, and strode down the stage.
Song Yu chased after her with a pale face. “Shuangshuang, let me explain…” “Explain?”
Xie Shian turned around and sneered. “The evidence is conclusive, and you still have the face to explain?”
“Shuangshuang, I’m sorry. 1 was wrong…”
Song Yu shivered. He knew what Ruan Xiaoshuang’s departure meant.
He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. He knelt down in front of everyone and tugged at Ruan Xiaoshuang’s skirt. He said tearfully, “But 1 was drunk at that time. 1-1 don’t know what happened. Shuangshuang, please forgive me just this once. 1 promise I won’t do it again. If I do it again, I, Song Yu, will die without a burial place…”
“Then you can die now.”
A cold voice rang out from the guests’ seats. Everyone’s gazes turned to the source of the voice.
Sang Minglang calmly accepted everyone’s gaze as he spoke, “Since it’s so lively here today, I’ll invite everyone to see something else. 1’11 also invite everyone to be a judge to see whether Song Yu deserves to die or not.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the LED screen on the stage suddenly flashed, and a surveillance video appeared on the screen.
At first, the scene was in a foreign restaurant. Song Yu was sitting opposite a young woman. Soon, they were on the streets. Song Yu was hugging the young woman and kissing her. The scene switched to another one, where the two of them entered a hotel room. Their clothes were disheveled and they began to have s*x on the sofa…
After the video finished playing, the screen was dark for a moment before the second video started playing.
This video was shot from a hotel in Beijing. At night, Song Yu and the young woman entered the hotel one after another. The two of them were like a fire. As soon as the door was closed, the fire quickly burned larger…
Those scenes were simply unbearable to look at.
Fortunately, there was no sound in the video. Otherwise, it would’ve been really embarrassing.
The guests soon realized that Song Yu had not only cheated on her overseas, but he had also secretly met the other girl in the short two to three days after returning to Beijing.
Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t see, so she naturally didn’t know what Sang Minglang had displayed.. She only heard Xie Shi’an’s furious voice asking, “Song Yu, are you even human anymore?”
