The following morning at Mingdu Hotel in Nancheng.
In the rest area, Su Yanyan had finished her final touch-ups and stood up assisted by a group of staff members.
“Wow, the bride is so gorgeous!”
“What a perfect figure!”
“This wedding gown is stunning!”
Praise filled the room, making Su Yanyan’s smile even more radiant.
Thinking of what is about to happen at the wedding venue, she felt waves of excitement within her.
She can hardly wait.
The lobby of the hotel was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Xing Yuyun, the eldest son of the Xing family, has handsome looks, promising prospects, and is the wealthiest man in Nancheng. He is also the grandson of the Huo family, one of the “Four Great Aristocratic Families”.
Su Yanyan, with her elegant demeanor and graceful poise, had attracted many guests despite the Su family’s modest social standing in Nancheng. Due to Su Xueqin and Su Yuntang’s vast network, they had invited many friends from the news media and even some celebrities.
The serious attention from both families, coupled with their friends’ support, made this wedding incredibly grand and lively.
When the “Wedding March” began to play, Su Yanyan, in her elegant white wedding gown, walked down the red carpet arm in arm with Su Yuntang. The sight instigated a massive wave of reporters to swarm her, their camera flashes never ceasing.
The scene hardly differed from a press conference of a major celebrity.
The wedding officiant delivered a speech, parents of both families expressed their thoughts, the newlyweds listened to their vows, exchanged rings then embraced and kissed…
All of these moments were beautifully carried out.
When both newlyweds retreated backstage for a rest, Su Xueqin finally asked anxiously, “Where is Wanwan? Why isn’t she here yet?”
“Maybe she got caught in traffic,” Jiang Yi explained.
Su Yuntang didn’t say anything but inwardly sneered.
It would be best if that troublemaker didn’t come!
After another round of applause, the newlyweds changed into a different set of clothes for the toast ceremony.
When Su Xueqin looked up, his expression changed instantly, “What the hell is going on?”
The phoenix-colored dress that he had personally ordered for Su Wanwan was being worn by Su Yanyan!
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Jiang Yi asked.
Su Xueqin glared at her angrily, “Explain to me why the dress I ordered for Wanwan is being worn by Yanyan!”
The whole table was thrown into confusion by his words.
Jiang Yi was truly astounded, “How could that have happened? Could there have been a mistake?”
“A mistake? Whose mistake?” Su Xueqin fixated his gaze on her, “You and Yanyan were responsible for the dresses, so if there was a mistake, it was your mistake! Tell me what happened!”
Jiang Yi was at a loss for words, “Dad, I… I really don’t know anything about
this, I have no idea what happened.”
With a cold humph, Su Xueqin’s anger reached new heights.
When Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun walked over holding their wine glasses, he went straight to the point, “Yanyan, what is going on?”
Su Yanyan felt a little guilty but kept up her innocent smile, “Grandpa, what are you talking about?”
‘Tm asking you about the dress you’re wearing!” Su Xueqin pressed urgently.
Su Yanyan glanced down as if realizing something, “Oh, are you talking about this dress, Grandpa? I just found it when I returned to the changing room I had only tried on western-style gowns before and I don’t know why I ended up with this Chinese-style one to toast. It might be due to the same color that the maid confused them. I was afraid that it would delay the auspicious time, so I put it on anyway.”
“Didn’t you know this was Wanwan’s dress?” Su Xueqin wasn’t convinced.
Su Yanyan had prepared her answer beforehand, “Grandpa, you never opened the box containing the dress you gave to big sis, so I had no idea what her dress looked like. How was I to know that the maids had mixed them up? If you’re unhappy about this, I can trade mine with hers once she arrives…”
“Which maid?” Su Xueqin sharply interrupted.
Su Yanyan replied composedly, “Xiaowei.”
“Call her here!”
“Okay…”
“Old Chap.” Huo Qinyu intervened, “Everyone is watching. Let Yanyan and Yuyun continue their toast. We can sort this out later, it’s just a dress.”
“Yes, we can explain it to Wanwan later, she will understand,” Xing Guozhi also tried to mediate.
Considering the ongoing wedding ceremony, bridesmaids and groomsmen nearby, VIP guests at the neighboring table, and many journalists in the hall.
Because of Su Xueqin’s loud voice, quite a few people had turned their eyes in their direction. It wouldn’t look good if this minor misunderstanding were to reach the media.
“No wonder Wanwan isn’t here yet, it’s because you’ve been plotting behind her back! You deliberately switched the dresses, you did it on purpose!” Su Xueqin was so angry that his voice was shaking.
“Dad, what are you implying?” Su Yuntang expressed his innocence and helplessness, “I really knew nothing about this. Our house has been so busy with the wedding preparations. It’s normal to mix things up.”
“Alright, that’s enough,” the old Master Xing, who had been silent all this while, said in a deep voice, “Xueqin, let the children do their toast first.”
He didn’t want to make a spectacle over such a trivial matter.
“Yes, let’s not delay the auspicious time,” added old Lady Xing.
But Su Xueqin continued to frown, unable to swallow this insult.
Su Yanyan lowered her head in silence.
As seconds passed, the atmosphere gradually became more tense.
Everyone had stopped toasting and speaking, which provoked many curious glances and whispers.
Qiao Zixin and Xing Siqing, serving as bridesmaids, could only stand on the side awkwardly.
“Old chap,” said Huo Qinyu, frowning, “Yanyan is pregnant and wearing high heels. She can’t stand for too long…”
Just then, they heard a commotion from the front.
“Wanwan!”
At the neighboring table, Mo Weiyi was the first to raise his voice.
Su Yanyan’s heart started to beat wildly.
Has Wanwan finally arrived?
She hurriedly looked over.
But the next second, her perfectly made-up face twisted with surprise and displeasure..
