Many guests recognized this woman who had just arrived. They couldn’t help but feel uneasy at the sight of her troop and started to whisper amongst each other.
On Xie Zhuojun and Shangguan Rouxue’s engagement party, it had been this woman’s appearance that messed the entire engagement party up. Her man was even more cruel than she was, by ignoring everyone’s safety and aiming at everyone with guns, scaring away all the guests off the banquet.
Why was she here again?
How much did she hate this couple so that she would come and ruin their engagement party and then the wedding?
Shangguan Zheng and Yang Wenshu who were seated in the front, stood up furiously.
Shangguan Rouxue’s face had gone pale. Although she had asked Xie Zhuojun to send the invitation to Shangguan Ning, she hoped that Shangguan Ning wouldn’t come and ruin the wedding which she had been looking forward to for so many years!
She hoped that Jing Yiran would take down Shangguan Ning at the wedding!
Otherwise she would get extremely furious if her wedding was interrupted halfway!
What made Shangguan Rouxue even more furious and heart-broken was that Xie Zhuojun smiled at the sight of Shangguan Ning!
It was Shangguan Rouxue who was married to him rather than Shangguan Ning, and he was able to laugh even when their vow was broken.
Nails sunk deeply into her flesh, but Shangguan Rouxue held her temper and refused to say anything.
She was the bride, and what she needed to do was show a wronged and sad face on her wedding being interrupted. As for the rest, there would be someone who will do it for her.
Sure enough, Shangguan Zheng shouted angrily in the following moment. His loud voice echoed across the hall. “Get out of here, Shangguan Ning! Someone drag her off! The wedding needs to continue!”
He couldn’t tolerate that Shangguan Ning would make him lose his face in front of so many people. What he couldn’t tolerate more was that if this wedding was ruined, he would lose the official position without Family Xie’s help!
Shangguan Ning turned a deaf ear to him and continued to walk into the hall with her group of bodyguards as if she were strolling in her own garden.
“You don’t need to call out for anyone, father. I have made sure that they wouldn’t come! I am not leaving, and I, as the elder sister, shouldn’t be absent from my younger sister’s wedding, right?”
Shangguan Ning had a smile on her face, but she sounded cold.
The guests who didn’t recognize her got astonished by how she had addressed the hosts.
So she was Shangguan Zheng’s daughter? Shanggguan Rouxue’s elder sister? Why was this never known? And how could she be so cruel as to ruin her own sister’s wedding?
Shangguan Zheng almost passed out in fury. Mr. & Mrs. Xie had a very bad expression on their faces as they stood next to him. They had not expected that Shangguan Ning would come and ruin the wedding as well.
In order to guarantee that the wedding could go smoothly, they had spent large amounts of money, hiring dozens of security guards from security companies. Yet none of them were able to stop Shangguan Ning.
No one knew that Shangguan Ning had married Jing Yichen, the heir of Family Jing and the President of Jingsheng Enterprise. Shangguan Zheng had never mentioned this to anyone in the family or to Family Xie, because he felt himself losing self-esteem to have been pressed down and threatened by Jing Yichen. He was also worried that if Xie Dongfeng knew that he had offended Jing Yichen, he would immediately get away from him or even stop Xie Zhuojun from marrying Shangguan Rouxue.
Family Jing was a powerful family whom Family Xie wouldn’t dare to offend. Even Family Ji, which was a splendid family in A City, would not dare to irritate Family Jing.
Because it was impossible to understand how powerful Family Jing was. Superficially speaking, Jingsheng Enterprise was the only one that Family Jing had, but as a matter of fact, there were numerous subordinated institutions down below and their power covered all possible aspects, including medical field, land planning, financial system, security police and other kinds of illegal fields as well.
Family Jing had dipped their hands into all corners of all classes and fields. Therefore, no one dared to touch this enormous family.
Jing Yichen, the new heir of Family Jing, was extremely low-profiled and mysterious. Almost no one knew what he looked like, yet his legendary stories had been spread across the entire A City, and he was regarded as a man of God.
People who knew the story understood that it was he who had driven off Mayor Ji Minyu, and her career was ruined. What was more, tens of billions of yuan were taken from Family Ji’s enterprise, which is why the stock price of Family Ji dropped tremendously.
Once people knew about Jing Yichen’s attitude towards Shangguan Zheng, everyone would stay away from him.
Even if he said that Jing Yichen was his son-in-law, it would not work, because as everyone could see, Shangguan Ning didn’t treat him as her own father and she had argued with him many times.
Fearing Jing Yichen’s ability and his love towards Shangguan Ning, Shangguan Zheng had to keep silent howsoever much angry he was.
He was afraid that if he annoyed Jing Yichen, his precarious position as the Deputy Mayor would be lost immediately.
Yang Wenshu didn’t care much. She hated Shangguan Ning to the bones, and when she saw her coming to ruin her daughter’s wedding, she lost control completely and ran towards Shangguan Ning with a knife, screaming and trying to rip her off face.
Yang Wenshu had this knife with her wherever she went. After the face which she had been so proud of, was ruined by Shangguan Ning, she became sinister and extreme. She failed to disguise herself in front of others apart from Shangguan Zheng, because she had already been too unkind for too long.
Shangguan Zheng refused to look at her. If it had not been the fact that divorce would cause bad influence upon his official position, he would have divorced her ages ago.
Seeing that Yang Wenshu was running towards Shangguan Ning’s face with a knife, he got so scared that cold sweat trickled down his body. If anything happened to Shangguan Ning today, they would all be dead.
Luckily, the bodyguards next to Shangguan Ning were all experienced and skilled. It was a piece of cake for them to stop Yang Wenshu.
A bone-cracking sound broke the silent hall, followed by Yang Wenshu’s horrible scream. Her arm was broken, and the sharp knife that she had held, pierced her upper arm. Blood gushed out.
Shangguan Rouxue immediately stopped pretending and let out a horrified cry of “Mom” and dashed towards Yang Wenshu. She held her arm in concern. “Mom, how are you? I will send you to the hospital right away, please don’t scare me!”
“Sister, how can you be so cruel! That is how you pay back the woman who brought you up? I won’t blame you for ruining my wedding, but you shouldn’t have hurt my mother. You disappoint me.”
Having disguised it for so many years, Shangguan Rouxue finally showed her hatred towards Shangguan Ning in front of the public for the very first time at this moment. But she had caught the right moment and the right temper of hating her because Shangguan Ning had hurt her mother.
Shangguan Ning looked down at her from a commanding view. The sunlight of the early summer sprinkled over her cold face. It was a warm gaze, but it didn’t have any warmth at all.
