Chapter 369 Getting to this point hasn't been easy.
Ye Sanqing wasn't sure if Ye Wanyin could see her face clearly, but she still raised her wine glass and gave Ye Wanyin a cold smile.
Provocation, this is definitely a provocation!
Ye Wanyin couldn't see her expression but could see her actions, and she was furious.
Keep being so smug, let's see if you can still laugh in a bit.
Ye Wanyin told herself not to ruin the mood she had finally managed to calm down, and continued walking forward.
Ah, now that I see Lu Wangqian's face, I suddenly feel a little too weak to lift my feet.
Ye Wanyin came to Lu Wangqian's side, put on her best expression of happiness and purity, and smiled at him.
Lu Wangqian's eyes were dark, and it was obvious that he was now... having some thoughts that disregarded the occasion.
"Thank you to my father, mother, and my eldest sister... I am about to become a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, but I will never forget the kindness of the Ye family in raising me. I, Ye Wanyin, will always be a daughter of the Ye family..."
In her speech, Ye Wanyin first reminisced about her complicated relationship with Lu Wangqian, and then subtly criticized Ye Yifan, implying that she had won the battle for the man with Ye Yifan.
Ye Sanqing thought to himself, Ye Yifan probably didn't come because he was afraid he would laugh himself to death on the spot.
Ye Yifan wouldn't laugh for the time being, but Ye Sanqing would. When she heard the last sentence, "She will always be a daughter of the Ye family," she laughed heartily and clapped.
Although there were some whispers in the room, they were not obvious. But when Ye Sanqing raised his voice, it immediately became abrupt.
I don't know who it was, but someone, not wanting to miss out on the trouble, gave her a spotlight.
The emcee has many years of experience hosting weddings, and his reaction at this moment is to ease the atmosphere.
No matter what Ye Sanqing wants to say, she has to speak so that he can find a way to smooth things over.
Ye Sanqing became the focus of everyone's attention, but instead of getting up, he took the microphone handed to him by a staff member next to him.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just too happy. After all... Ye Wanyin, it really wasn't easy for you to get to this point."
As Ye Sanqing spoke, his gaze drifted toward Cheng Yanye at the next table.
Another spotlight was added.
Cheng Yanye: !
He was trying to portray a heartbroken ex-boyfriend, still adjusting his expression, when the light came on, freezing his facial expression in a rather subtle state.
This spotlight... it's quite something, I wonder if it was arranged by Lu Mingye's side.
Most people know about Ye Wanyin and Cheng Yanye's past, but not many people noticed that he came today.
As soon as the light shone down, the whispers among the crowd grew much louder.
Cheng Yanye reluctantly put on a sad smile.
Who would have thought that he would use the pinnacle of his acting career at this moment?
Since it was Cheng Yanye, giving him the microphone would be too direct and would be disrespectful to Lu Wangqian, so the light only hit him once before disappearing.
But that was enough to spark discussion and enough for tabloids to fabricate several stories, like "unresolved feelings" or something similar.
Ye Sanqing indicated that he had nothing more to say, shrugged at Ye Wanyin, and handed the microphone back.
Ye Wanyin: Damn it...
She didn't pay much attention to what Ye Sanqing was saying, but she noticed that Sheng Hanyu and Ye Jin'er, who were standing next to him, were both staring intently at Ye Sanqing.
Why should I? All of this should have been mine!
Ye Sanqing really doesn't give her any face at all. Not only does he come to her place and act so arrogantly, but he also brings a man with him!
Ye Wanyin was simply at her wit's end.
So she was about to continue speaking, since the microphone was in her hand and she wanted to say something sarcastic to Ye Sanqing, but at that moment Lu Wangqian very domineeringly snatched the microphone from her hand.
Ye Wanyin: ...
"Anyone who hurts Wanwan will be punished. I don't care about Wanwan's past, because she is my true love..."
Lu Wangqian made some harsh remarks, but his eyes were only directed at Cheng Yanye.
"You're picking on the weak, aren't you..." Wen Shumo mocked.
Ye Sanqing thought to himself that if his older sister hadn't used some rare metal ore to lure Lu Wangqian, his possessive and domineering vengeful gaze would have been directed at her.
"He can only bully the weak... but he probably didn't expect that there might be thorns hidden inside the weak ones," Ye Jin'er said. He glanced at Cheng Yanye and decided it was best to protect him.
Company assets must not be lost!
After the two finished their speeches, it was the elders' turn to speak, with Ye Tian giving the first speech.
Ye Tian simply said some platitudes, wishing Ye Wanyin happiness, and then quickly retreated outside the lamplight.
The last time he gave a speech on stage was at Ye Sanqing's return banquet... Ye Sanqing made him transfer money back then, and he doesn't want to encounter such a thing again.
Ye Tian was naturally happy that Ye Wanyin could marry into a good family, and it would have been even better if she hadn't married Lu Wangqian.
Ye Tian still believes that marriage should be between equals, and the Lu family is a wealthy family, so in his eyes the marriage is still a good match on the surface.
It has to be said that Ye Wanyin's tearful words, "I will always be a daughter of the Ye family..." still evoked tender memories for Ye Tian.
Ye Wanyin's point in saying this was certainly not to provoke Ye Sanqing, but to make her stance clear: as long as the Ye family does not officially issue a statement to remove her from the list, she will continue to use this title to the fullest extent.
She also extended a friendly gesture to the other members of the Ye family... Although this included Song Taotao, which probably displeased Ye Wanyin, she could only consider them as part of the Ye family's camp for now.
Ye Tian's speech went smoothly, but Lu Wangqian had objections to the next elder's speech.
He reached out and stopped Lu Dingzuo from going on stage to take the microphone.
"Second Uncle, this doesn't seem to be your seat."
Lu Wangqian raised a question.
In his view, as the eldest grandson, his wedding was of course very important, and such a ceremony should naturally be addressed by the old master Lu himself, so how could Lu Dingzuo, born out of wedlock, be allowed to act on his behalf?
Lu Dingzuo smiled slightly, without explaining, but instead walked around his hand, picked up the microphone, and said, "Today, I represent the elders of the Lu family..."
Lu Wangqian wished he could knock him off the stage.
But Lu Wangqian's gaze fell on Old Master Lu at the main table, who was staring at him expressionlessly, seemingly not very satisfied with his words and actions.
Lu Mingye, sitting next to Old Master Lu, gave him a provocative look.
Lu Wangqian and Lu Mingye stared at each other for a while, furious, and decided to hold back for the time being.
He hadn't thought much about the lighting earlier, but Lu Dingzuo, as Lu Mingye's father and a son born to the third concubine, was representing the Lu family elders on stage...
Lu Wangqian suddenly realized that things were developing in a direction he hadn't expected.
Lu Mingye, how dare you try to sabotage my wedding?
"Fine, since it's Grandpa's arrangement, I'll tolerate you for now."
He spoke softly to Lu Dingzuo, who was passing by after giving his speech.
Lu Dingzu sneered, reached out and brushed off non-existent dust from Wang Qian's shoulder, and laughed, "Wang Qian, it must feel bad to be without parents, right? It's a pity you also have a good-for-nothing younger brother. I'm only here to represent your parents because I genuinely pity you."
"You!" Lu Wangqian clenched his fist.
The two things he least wanted to mention in his life were his failed marriage with Ye Yifan and his disabled, useless younger brother.
Does Lu Wangqian have a twin brother?
The answer is, yes.
