CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 390

"What!"

"This bastard! What could possibly be more important than your wedding?"

Suchen and Lai De were extremely indignant.

Lai De couldn’t even control his emotions, and cursed out loud: "He even promised me that he would take good care of you, ensure that the second half of your life wouldn’t be so rough. Now it seems the biggest hurdle in your life is him!"

"What should we do now?" Suchen was in complete disarray, at a loss.

Especially seeing Jiang Moxi standing alone and unsupported, her heart felt like it had been torn apart by someone’s bare hands.

"Help me clear the venue," Jiang Moxi said weakly as she closed her eyes.

"Alright, leave it to me!" Lai De quickly informed the master of ceremonies of the situation.

Then Lai De and the master of ceremonies began to explain the situation in the spectator area, seeing off the guests who had come one by one.

Upon learning of this, Si Lin also hurriedly joined the team to see off the guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Fu Youhan, the groom, unfortunately has some urgent matters today and will not be able to attend the wedding."

Many people were surprised by this abrupt wedding cancellation, that it could be called off just like that.

"What urgent matter does Third Master Fu have that he has to deal with it on the wedding day no matter what?"

"Is Cinderella ultimately not accepted by the wealthy family?"

"The wedding preparations and decorations, as well as the bride’s wedding dress, all of these must cost over a billion, right? The rich really know how to waste money."

"Compared to a misfortunate marriage of mismatched social status, these billions are not a big loss."

Of course, there were also quite a few people who were busy taking pleasure in the misfortune.

The Jiang Family was a typical example.

Especially Jiang Tairan.

Seeing that Fu Youhan didn’t show up and the wedding couldn’t go on, he felt as if he had finally let out a pent-up breath of foul air, acting as if he had no pain in speaking so casually.

"See that! No matter how sensational the proposal is, until the wedding ceremony and registration, everything else is just empty talk."

"But Moxi must have been looking forward to the wedding, and yet Third Master Fu ended up not showing up. She must be heartbroken."

Jiang Weiwei did indeed spout a couple white-lotus-like lines, but in fact, she was happier than anyone else that the wedding didn’t go through.

Yu Man then hugged Jiang Weiwei: "Didn’t you see how arrogant she was before when she thought she could marry Third Master Fu? There’s no need to pity such a person!"

Jiang Guosheng also felt a sense of triumph, but he knew there were many relatives from the Fu Family around, so it wasn’t a good idea to speak too harshly on the spot.

After the Jiang Family packed up, they made their way to the exit and deliberately passed by Jiang Moxi.

Yu Man stopped beside Jiang Moxi and advised:

"Actually, you can’t blame anyone for today’s events. I’ve told you before that just because a man proposes doesn’t mean he truly loves you. Third Master Fu didn’t even respect your birth parents, and he drove us out of the Fu Family. He will definitely not treat you any better in the future! You just wouldn’t listen..."

Her mouth seemed to be comforting Jiang Moxi, but anyone with a bit of sense could hear that she was just taking the opportunity to twist the knife in Jiang Moxi’s heart a few more times.

Jiang Moxi didn’t know if she didn’t hear Yu Man’s words or if she had already heard too many similar heart-wrenching words from Yu Man, but in any case, her expression didn’t change and she still looked indifferent.

It was Aunt Suchen, who was with Jiang Moxi, who couldn’t help but retort at Yu Man.

"Xixi is heartbroken right now, and you’re here making cold remarks. Having you as a mother is her greatest tragedy!"

Yu Man didn’t expect Suchen to still defend Jiang Moxi so strongly and couldn’t help but counterattack.

"So what if we make cold remarks? You haven’t tried going to the Fu Family and being kicked out by her and Third Master Fu! Having her as a daughter is the real misfortune!"

Suchen also knew that it was unbecoming to bicker with Yu Man in public.

But seeing how the Jiang Family treated Jiang Moxi, she really couldn’t stand by and do nothing; some things just had to be said.

"You were kicked out, and isn’t that exactly what you deserved? Even if one day you truly accept her as your own daughter, she would never treat you that way! Before you speak or act, please reflect on your own character first!"

Yu Man was so pushed to the edge that she almost screamed.

"What reflection? And what business of this is yours? Jiang Moxi is our daughter either way, how does this relate to you? I insist that her wedding with Third Master Fu not happening is karma. Can you manage that?"

Listening to Yu Man’s clamor in her ear, Jiang Moxi’s pale face remained expressionless, her eyes hollow and devoid of life.

Not until Yu Man said that her not being able to marry Fu Youhan was karma did the light in her eyes fade even more, like still water darkening.

At that moment, the bridal bouquet in Jiang Moxi’s hands suddenly dropped to the ground.

The moment the flowers touched the ground, countless petals wilted and scattered, just like the sense of shattering that took over Jiang Moxi.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s now feeble appearance, Aunt Suchen felt an extreme heartache and couldn’t restrain herself, directly slapping Yu Man across the face.

Yu Man refused to be outdone and also yelled, attempting to tear into Aunt Suchen.

The Jiang Family had only wanted to use Yu Man as a scapegoat to vent today’s frustrations.

They didn’t expect Yu Man to quickly escalate things to a physical altercation with Aunt Suchen, so they hastily stepped forward to stop her.

"Hurry back home, don’t embarrass yourself here anymore," Jiang Guosheng retorted while pulling Yu Man away.

In the eyes of Jiang Guosheng, no matter what they thought of Jiang Moxi internally, it wasn’t appropriate to air these thoughts in such a public setting.

Especially in front of Aunt Suchen!

This would definitely leave a terrible impression of the Jiang Family on her, and if it affected the cooperation between the Jiang Family and THE ONE Group, that would be even worse.

"I got hit, are you blind? You don’t seek justice for me, and you resent me for making a scene here? What kind of husband are you?"

Yu Man felt extremely humiliated after being slapped, and even with Jiang Guosheng’s attempts to restrain her, she continued her outburst.

Jiang Guosheng, driven to the brink by her ruckus, also landed a slap across her face.

His strength was significantly greater than Aunt Suchen’s, so with one slap, Yu Man directly fell to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Yu Man covered her face, looking at Jiang Guosheng in shock and panic, as this was the first time in their many years of marriage that Jiang Guosheng had hit her like this.

But Jiang Guosheng seemed to have no remorse, just coldly looking at her and harshly asking, "Have you had enough?"

Yu Man was probably scared by Jiang Guosheng’s fierce expression, or perhaps she realized the severity of the situation, sitting dumbly on the ground without saying a word for a good while.

And Jiang Weiwei hurriedly played the Monday morning quarterback, helping Yu Man up.

"Mom, let’s talk about it at home."

As Jiang Weiwei helped Yu Man walk out, she did not forget to turn her head and give Aunt Suchen an apologetic smile.

Jiang Guosheng and the other members of the Jiang Family quickly apologized to Aunt Suchen before hastily leaving the scene.

"Xixi, they’re all gone. It’s okay! Please talk to me, don’t be like this, alright?"

Seeing the Jiang Family all gone, Aunt Suchen, her heart full of pity, tightly embraced Jiang Moxi.

"Aunt Suchen, I’m fine," Jiang Moxi reassured her verbally, but her voice was so hoarse it hardly sounded like her, only increasing Aunt Suchen’s concern.

Soon, Lai De and Si Lin sent off most of the guests and then returned to Jiang Moxi and Aunt Suchen’s side.

"Xixi, you should come home with us. I’m worried about you in your current state."

Aunt Suchen, seeing the girl as if she were a walking corpse, truly did not feel at ease leaving her alone here.

But Si Lin firmly grasped Jiang Moxi’s wrist, declaring decidedly, "She must come with me!"

Aunt Suchen and Lai De obviously disagreed and continued to persuade Jiang Moxi.

But Si Lin whispered into Jiang Moxi’s ear, "You wouldn’t want to put them in danger, right? Come with me, we have to leave now or it’ll be too late."

The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Moxi seemed to have snapped to clarity instantly, her eyes regaining brightness in a flash.

Only, compared to before, those eyes that were once as clear as water now seemed to have frozen over in an instant.

"I’ll go with him!" Jiang Moxi said.
