Chapter 666: My Better Half Wants to Watch a Drama
Papa Ye and Mama Ye went to their son’s engagement ceremony in very plain clothes. Mama Ye even dressed in solemn black. Nobody would be surprised if she said that she was actually going to a funeral.
There wasn’t a hint of happiness on their faces. Instead, their faces were full of disapproval and unwillingness. How could this be a happy event? This was clearly a tragedy.
Thinking about Ye Jingcheng, he was very pitiful. Apart from him, the other three had something else on their minds coming to the engagement ceremony.
Soon, the huge lawn of the hotel was crowded with guests. What surprised Ye Jingcheng was the attendance of Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao wore a brown coat and a grey suit. He looked like a noble CEO as he always did. He walked to Ye Jingcheng hand in hand with Mu Qiqi who was wearing a beige coat.
“I didn’t expect Chief Sheng to come. It’s such an honor for the Ye family.”
Zhongteng was a military industrial enterprise and its rise to power was very mysterious and incredible. Sheng Xiao used extreme methods to build up this empire in just one year. So, it couldn’t be denied that he was the youngest giant in Jianchuan.
Ye Jingcheng thought that Sheng Xiao wouldn’t be bothered to come.
Because to Zhongteng, Ye Holdings was just a fragile egg.
“My better half wants to watch a drama. Of course, I should satisfy her curiosity,” Sheng Xiao said with satire, and his eyes were full of mockery and danger.
Ye Jingcheng chuckled gently. Then, he said calmly, “Please, Chief Sheng, I will let you enjoy it later.”
Holding Sheng Xiao’s arm, Mu Qiqi raised her head and looked at Ye Jingcheng. Now, Ye Jingcheng looked so energetic and happy. She wondered what kind of punishment Mu Tangxue had in mind for him later.
“Let’s go.”
Sheng Xiao entered the hotel with Mu Qiqi. When Mu Qiqi thought about what he said just now, she asked, “Since when have I become your better half?”
“If you aren’t, who else is?” Sheng Xiao’s lip curled upward. He was clearly in a good mood.
…
Mu Tangxue was in the bridal room getting dressed up and ready. It wasn’t her turn yet to make an appearance, so she let the makeup artist skillfully do her job on her face. She must become the “prettiest” bride for Ye Jingcheng.
Many a time she had imagined herself getting married to Mr. Lu. She saw herself to be breathtaking in a white gown for him.
But now, she was marrying her enemy.
“Miss Mu, please raise your head a bit. We’re going to help you to wear the tiara.
“Don’t bother. It is sufficient just like this,” Mu Tangxue said, indifferent.
The makeup artist looked at the accessory in her hands and nodded in the end. “Alright, I will put it away.”
Soon, the waiters served warm water to the guests, and one of them sent a glass to Mu Tangxue as well. Looking at the colorless and odorless liquid, Mu Tangxue smirked.
“You can go out first. I want to be alone for a moment.”
“Okay, when the ceremony is about to start, we will call for you.”
After they left, the bridal room became very quiet. Mu Tangxue sat in front of the mirror. Suddenly, she felt that the person in the mirror was very unfamiliar, too unfamiliar that she almost couldn’t even recognize herself.
Later, it would be showtime.
…
Soon, when the ceremony was about to start, Ye Jingcheng looked at his wristwatch. Then, he went to the bridal room.
But right at that moment, Ye Jingcheng heard someone moaning in the room.
He frowned and opened the door. To his horror, what he saw was his bride, Mu Tangxue, rolling on the bed with a waiter.
“Mu Tangxue!”
Mu Tangxue suddenly sobered up and grabbed a blanket to cover herself up. However, the red patch on the bed enraged Ye Jingcheng.
The waiter sensed the hostile aura coming from Ye Jingcheng and quickly grabbed his clothes before swiftly running away.
Then, Ye Jingcheng marched toward Mu Tangxue and grabbed her wrist. “Are you doing this on purpose? Must you stab my heart like this?”
“I don’t understand. I wasn’t in the right mind just now. I became like this after drinking the warm water,” Mu Tangxue explained as best as she could. “I’m telling the truth.”
Ye Jingcheng’s eyes turned red and he looked at the glass of warm water on the makeup cabinet.
“I’ll get someone to help you clean up the mess. No matter what, we’ll get engaged first.”
Ye Jingcheng had no time to think about anything else. So, he could only walk out of the room first and let the makeup team enter the room once more to prep his bride.
After he left, he headed to the lawn angrily and located Mama Ye who was hiding at a corner.
“Mother, I want to ask you something. You must answer me honestly.”
“What is it now?”
“Did you drug Tangxue?” Ye Jingcheng confronted Mama Ye fiercely.
Mama Ye’s face stiffened immediately. Although she didn’t admit it, she couldn’t fool Ye Jingcheng.
“Why are you in such a hurry to have my wife cheat on me? Are you crazy?!”
Mama Ye was shocked at his shouting. And then, she slapped him. “I don’t agree with you bringing that slut into the family. I don’t agree! Do you understand?”
Without warning, Ye Jingcheng’s hands wrapped around Mama Ye’s neck. “No matter whether you agree or not, she is my woman! No one can ever change that.”
“Let go… let go. Murderer, murderer…”
Ye Jingcheng let go after that.
The disappointment was too much for Mama Ye. So, the first thing she did after she was let go was run to her husband and complain. Seeing the strangulation marks on his wife’s neck, Papa Ye ran up the stage and barked. “The engagement ceremony tonight is cancelled. The Ye family will never let such a woman join the family.”
The guests looked at each other. Although they had guessed that Papa Ye and Mama Ye would be unhappy, they didn’t expect Papa Ye to be so direct.
“Father, today is my engagement. You can’t simply cancel it as you wish.”
“We won’t stop you from getting engaged. However, let me tell you, Ye Jingcheng. I, Ye Fengtao, don’t have a son! I disown you.”
However, even after hearing that, Ye Jingcheng held his chin high without fear at all. This enraged Mama Ye completely.
“Shameless thing! I will take it that I have never given birth to a rebellious son like you. I wish for you to be stuck forever with that slut!”
Having said that, Papa Ye and Mama Ye wanted to leave.
This confused everyone. What the Ye family was doing was simply too disgraceful…
However, Mu Tangxue suddenly appeared in her crumpled dress. She looked very messy. Her makeup was smeared and there were marks all over her neck and arms. Her appearance triggered everyone’s imagination.
“Where are you two going?”
