Imperfect Desires

Chapter 676 Dead Mother-In-Law

676 Dead Mother-In-Law

The wedding scene made one's mind blown. It was claimed by the media that people would remember this wedding for years to come. It was the union between Xin Clan and Zhao Clan. It was meant to be a grand affair. And it deserved all the attention it got as well.

However, no one expected the turn of events that would actually make this wedding one of the most historic ones.

23-year-old bride and groom said their wedding vows and exchanged the rings. As the officiant declared them husband and wife, a loud bang was heard as the doors of the grand banquet hall opened to reveal the striking face of Ms. Wen Ai.

Let's not forget, even though she was known as the close friend of the youngest son of Xin's, she was still not invited to the wedding. After all, who would care about the youngest son's wishes or who he wanted to invite? But then again, who was capable of stopping the tyrant princess, Wen Ai?

With her bright red skirt swaying lightly, Wen Ai walked up to the stage towards the bride and groom but before she could ascend the steps, Mother Xin stood up and held her arm to hold her back.

"Wen Ai, what are you doing here?"

Wen Ai's eyes shifted as she replied, "I don't feel obliged to answer that, Mrs. Xin."

Mother Xin gnashed her teeth, "I don't remember inviting you here."

Wen Ai tilted her head and laughed at Mother Xin as she said, "And who dares to stop me? Even if you forget my status, let's not forget what kind of a person I am. Do you really want me to tear down your facade of being Madam Xin before all these esteemed guests?" Mother Xin had a horrified expression as she continued, "Then let's be civil. Don't create a scene unnecessarily. It's my big day."

Mother Xin had no other option but to step away in her fury. It had to be said that the reason she hated Wen Ai was that whenever this woman came before her, Mother Xin would always feel inferior before her. After all, Mother Xin originally came from a simple family and wouldn't have been at the position she was today without Father Xin.

Thus whenever she faced Wen Ai, she was reminded of the difference between them. Although Wen Ai had a very casual bearing, she still seemed to carry a royal aura around her. Perhaps, it was really as people said, somethings we do inherit in blood.

Moving up to the bride and groom, Wen Ai enthusiastically congratulated, "I wish you both a very happy married life. May your garden bloom with the prettiest flowers.[1]"

Zhao Huan's mood was a little strange as she asked, "Wen Ai, what are you trying to do?"

Wen Ai gave her a sly smile as she answered honestly, "Sorry, Sister Huan, but it seems like I'm trying to steal your stage."

"What?" Zhao Huan was perplexed.

"But the wedding ceremony is done," replied the officiant.

"Not quite yet," said Wen Ai. "You still have another wedding to officiate."

"Whose wedding?" the question came from Zhao Huan who had a bad feeling about this. It had to be said Wen Ai would never attend any function unless she wanted to create some trouble. And it seemed this Ms. Wen definitely came with her own agenda once again.

"My wedding," answered Wen Ai with a bright smile.

"What?" Zhao Huan was baffled at that reply. The lady before her was only 19 but that wasn't the biggest concern, the main concern of hers was, "Who is the groom?"

"Are you coming up or should I drag you here?" Zhao Huan followed Wen Ai's line of sight and her eyes went round when she found Xin Zimen. Seeing him stand up, Wen Ai announced, "That's the groom."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" shouted Mother Xin anger. She looked at her younger son and said, "Zimen, what is she talking about?"

"Madam Xin, don't yell. You're hurting my ears. As I said already, I'm getting married to Xin Zimen today, right now, and right here!"

"I won't let that happen!" shrieked Mother Xin. "Zimen, she's crazy. But you're a sensible one, don't encourage her."

Xin Zimen was quite indifferent to it all as he tried to step towards Wen Ai but his mother stood in his way saying, "You'll have to walk over my dead body if you want to marry such a girl!"

The guests in the hall were baffled by this scene. Not because of what Wen Ai intended to do but because of Mother Xin's resistance. Everyone in this circle yearned to even share a single word with Wen Ai; the last direct descendant of Wen Clan. She was like royalty!

Only a fool wouldn't want her as their daughter-in-law. Wen Ai was practically like a golden phoenix, that nobody could even dream to achieve. Xin family was getting that golden phoenix without even trying and yet they were not happy with it? What kind of mental illness did they have?

It wasn't wrong to say that if Xin Clan got connected to Wen Clan, it'd be a blessing for them. But they were refusing this blessing solely because Mother Xin was afraid of Wen Ai and the power behind her. She knew once Wen Ai became a part of the family, she'd lose her standing and she'd never want to lose her power. Along with that, she knew Wen Ai would become her youngest son's supporter and help him in achieving the position of the Head of the clan which she couldn't allow at all.

According to Mother Xin's beliefs, the Head of the Clan had to be her eldest son, Xin Zemin. The Youngest should just be happy with the fact to be alive and breathing.

But Mother Xin would have never thought that this thinking of hers was practically the reason why she had to face this kind of situation today.

Without blinking, Wen Ai held up a gun to her forehead and said, "You do know I don't mind a dead mother-in-law, right?"
