Chapter 505: Chapter 0505: Are You Going to Lay a Hand on Yourself?
At the wedding venue at this moment, Pei Zhencuan’s father Pei Ximing, as the father of the groom, was busy greeting countless guests coming and going!
Pei Ximing became a father late in life and was now sixty years old. However, years of living in comfort had kept his complexion rosy and his body slightly plump; his hands looked as if they never touched spring water, soft and white!
At this moment, his gentle face bore a thick smile as he greeted the guests passing by.
Not far from Pei Ximing stood his in-law, He Duoze!
He Duoze was around fifty, tall and thin, but full of energy, his gaze and expression giving the impression of a sharp and cunning old fox.
For Pei Zhencuan’s wedding, the Pei family had invited many high-ranking officials and dignitaries to attend.
So much so that even though the wedding had not officially started, the venue was already bustling with activity. Hundreds of guests were toasting and chatting, and around the venue, dozens of LED screens were playing romantic music videos; the melodious tunes made everyone’s mood lighten.
Pei Ximing moved back and forth through the wedding venue and soon approached Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.
And next to Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi were still surrounded by Dongfang Shu and Yan Qingdi.
However, there was another woman there besides them!
It was Qin Muge!
Qin Muge had also received an invitation from the Pei family and had come here.
Here, Qin Muge was most familiar with Qiu Ruoxi and naturally stayed with her.
"Miss Qiu, long time no see, how is your esteemed father, Mr. Shuihan?" Pei Ximing asked with a hearty smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Pei. My father is well!"
"That’s good to hear," Pei Ximing said lightly. "Initially, I wanted to invite Mr. Shuihan too, but I didn’t know how to get in touch with him!"
"But it’s just as well that you could come!" Pei Ximing said with a sincere face.
A look of hesitation appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face.
Back in the Xie’s place, Xie Mingjiang had a close relationship with Qiu Shuihan, and he too had inquired about Qiu Shuihan. Now Pei Ximing was doing the same!
Could it be that his father-in-law had also been on good terms with Pei Ximing back in the day?
But these people now were obviously succeeding in ways that made his father-in-law seem insignificant!
Now, more than ever, Ye Xunhuan felt his father-in-law was shrouded in mystery.
As they spoke, Pei Ximing’s gaze fell upon Ye Xunhuan and he examined him from head to toe, before saying, "You must be Mr. Shuihan’s fortunate son-in-law, eh?"
"Xunhuan, this is the father of Pei Zhencuan, the clan leader of the Pei family, Mr. Pei!" Qiu Ruoxi introduced Ye Xunhuan.
In fact, without Qiu Ruoxi’s introduction, Ye Xunhuan had already guessed.
"Mr. Pei, you must have known about me already?"
"I did!" Pei Ximing readily admitted. "But I didn’t know before that you were Mr. Shuihan’s fortunate son-in-law!"
"Speaking of which, it’s really quite surprising. My daughter-in-law..."
Pei Ximing sighed softly and said, "Never mind, let’s not talk about it, it’s all in the past now."
Just then, a man looking like a bodyguard came over to Pei Ximing and whispered something in his ear.
"Miss Qiu, Mr. Ye, I need to take care of something, please continue without me!" Pei Ximing said cheerfully. "If there are any shortcomings in hospitality, I hope you’ll forgive us!"
"Mr. Pei, please go ahead if you have other matters to attend to!"
Just after Pei Ximing left, Dongfang Shu immediately snorted coldly, "Old fox!"
"You have a big problem with him, huh?" 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Dongfang Shu blinked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "In this world, other than you, I can’t stand the sight of any man!"
Hearing Dongfang Shu’s blatant seduction, Ye Xunhuan was rendered speechless, cursing himself for engaging in useless talk with this woman!
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan decided to ignore Dongfang Shu any longer, lest she start fighting with Qiu Ruoxi here again.
Time ticked by, and soon the wedding started.
Dressed in a tuxedo, Pei Zhencuan slowly came into everyone’s view!
At this moment, Pei Zhencuan was radiant with vigor, full of the joy of spring, noble and elegant. Many guests who saw him were whispering compliments about his attractive appearance.
However, within those compliments, there was also a hint of pity for marrying a woman like He Sichan.
On the eve of the wedding, He Sichan had already cuckolded him, and who knew if after the wedding, Pei Zhencuan’s head would become even greener!
Next to Pei Zhencuan stood the gorgeously dressed He Sichan, her black hair styled in a fashionable and noble updo; her pink lips alluring, full of temptation; her pure white wedding dress exquisitely set off her aristocratic beauty, the crystal high heels accentuated her hidden, slender and sexy legs beneath the wedding gown.
At this moment, He Sichan was like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world.
After entering the wedding venue, Pei Zhencuan nodded to Pei Ximing.
This made Pei Ximing secretly proud, thinking that when it comes to being ruthless and enduring what others cannot, his son surpassed even him.
Pei Zhencuan also had the big picture in mind, willing to sacrifice his reputation to marry He Sichan, and then rightfully take over everything from the He family to help his own father get that thing he had dreamt of!
Even knowing this woman had been tarnished by another man was a price he was willing to pay.
Once Pei Zhencuan married He Sichan and got that thing, after devouring the He family, the Pei family would become a colossus in Zhonghai Province; as for He Sichan, she was utterly disposable!
Pei Zhencuan’s face was beaming with happiness, but the He Sichan by his side had a tense face of sadness, as if today wasn’t her wedding but a funeral!
Meanwhile, He Sichan’s gaze kept sweeping around the area, and upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, a plea appeared in her eyes, as if begging Ye Xunhuan to save her!
Ye Xunhuan caught the meaning in He Sichan’s eyes at a glance.
This puzzled him, if she didn’t want to marry, why force herself? And even seek his help.
Curious as he was, Ye Xunhuan did not disrupt the wedding to ask.
He was chaotic enough already, and if he dared to disrupt the wedding to steal the bride, he felt he might as well not bother going home alive.
Under everyone’s gaze, Pei Zhencuan and He Sichan stepped on the red carpet and walked up to the wedding officiant’s platform, and the priest had already gone over early, waiting for the arrival of Pei Zhencuan and He Sichan!.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the priest began his lengthy preamble.
Then, under the witness of all, He Sichan reluctantly exchanged rings with Pei Zhencuan.
After the ring exchange, Pei Zhencuan’s gaze fell on Ye Xunhuan with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, in a gesture that seemed to mock, warn, and declare war!
Feeling Pei Zhencuan’s gaze, Ye Xunhuan frowned. Was he about to take action against him now?
Ye Xunhuan had never expected Pei Zhencuan to let him off, as such an act was a great humiliation to a man. Moreover, when Pei Zhencuan had left Ye Xunhuan’s side before, his eyes had told him that he would not spare Ye Xunhuan.
Now, with that same look, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but wonder if Pei Zhencuan was about to make a move!
