Chapter 111 - Qi Chengzhi Told Me To Come, That’s Why I’m Here (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As a result of Jian Yi marrying the lady of the Qi family, Zhou Mingyan had a sudden boost in confidence as their family received the glory that they had never experienced before, and all of their relatives were trying to get on their good side.

If Song Yu were to find someone else, she would not be opposed to it as she was rather worried that Song Yu might seduce Jian Yi and destroy his relationship. However, this was based on the premise that Song Yu got together with a commoner, who would be the total opposite of the Qi family.

Instead, Song Yu found Qi Chengzhi, the future successor of the Qi family. Zhou Mingyan just could not digest the fact that his status was above and beyond Jian Yi.

“Tone down your voice! It’s not good for our son either if someone heard you. When can you learn to speak according to the situation?” Jian Shifu tugged at Zhou Mingyan forcefully and warned softly.

“Humph!” Zhou Mingyan shoved his arm away reluctantly, “So what if someone heard me? She likes our son, not the other way round! Who knows what kind of tricks she had up her sleeves that were used to entice the eldest son of the Qi family. He must have been unaware of her true colors. It’s better if someone hears me, they’ll know the truth about her and spread it to the Qi family so that they won’t be fooled by her! That Yu Qianying said it herself that she had no relations with the Qi family, yet she still intends to let Song Yu marry into their family and live a good life? That’s why I said, she would never willingly suffer and live in poverty!”

“Just shut up!” For the first time, Jian Shifu could not help it but berate her in such a stern manner, “You just don’t feel comfortable if you can’t stir up trouble, huh? Can you keep your mouth in check and behave accordingly? It’s your son’s wedding! Can you just stop picking fights on your own son’s big day?”

“You…” Zhou Mingyan still refused to back down and wanted to continue arguing, but Qi Chengyue had already changed into a new set of dinner dress and reemerged together with Jian Yi for the toasting ceremony,

According to customs, even if the bride and groom’s family sat separately, they should start toasting from the groom’s parents table. Zhou Mingyan adjusted her outfit and waited for them to come over with a smile on her face. However, when she was about to stand up with her bottom in mid-air, Jian Yi and Qi Chengyue turned to the other direction and went to the table with the bride’s parents.

Zhou Mingyan’s smile froze on her face, her facial muscles twitched incessantly as she sat back into her seat stiffly. Then, she saw everyone on that table stood up, except for Grandfather and Grandmother Qi, and Qi Youxuan who was chomping on a chicken drumstick.

Grandfather and Grandmother Qi received the toast while seated and proceeded to sip from their glass respectively.

When it was Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu’s turn, Qi Chengzhi moved her lips indifferently with her right hand holding a glass of red wine, and Jian Yi on her left, “Song Yu, I didn’t expect you to come today.”

“Qi Chengzhi told me to come, that’s why I’m here,” Song Yu said calmly as she raised her wine glass, “Congratulations.”

She was sincere when she wished them.

She was not particularly fond of Jian Yi and Qi Chengyue, but she genuinely wanted them to be happy together. That way, Qi Chengyue would not pick on her that often as well.

She suffered enough because of this couple.

Qi Chengyue gave them a cold grin and brought her glass over and collided with Song Yu’s glass with a loud clink. Song Yu was not expecting Qi Chengyue to put so much strength in it.

Song Yu’s glass tipped over towards herself and startled her. It would be too late to avoid it, she could only watch the red wine spill out from her glass onto herself. All of a sudden, a wine glass appeared from beside and clashed with Qi Chengyue’s glass forcefully.

The elegant and fair hand that was pinching the stem of the wine glass was easily recognizable. Regardless of how fleeting the moment was, Song Yu could recognize that the well-structured hand belonged to Qi Chengzhi with only one look.

Qi Chengzhi flicked his wrist elegantly in a swift motion. Without using much force, he managed to tip Qi Chengyue’s glass over to the other side. Song Yu quickly steadied her glass, the wine-colored liquid swirled a few times in the glass before it gradually calmed down. Song Yu let out a sigh of relief when she did not spill any wine and make a mess of herself.

However, the bride was not so lucky after all. The wine glass that was supposed to tip over to Song Yu recoiled back towards Qi Chengyue’s direction. Furthermore, Qi Chengzhi’s movement was so sudden and unpredicted that it caught her by surprise. She was even more startled than Song Yu.

No one was able to shield Qi Chengyue from Qi Chengzhi’s unforeseen movement. Her wine glass tilted towards her and the wine splashed all over her dress.

She was wearing a designer piece that was specially tailored for her. It was a light yellow leather dress with a cute, puffy skirt. The back of the dress was attached to a light yellow veil-like material that extended to her ankles.

Since the dress was made of soft leather, it was quite water absorbent. The spilled wine immediately created a huge stain on the dress. The wine stain was all over her dress, making it look like menstrual blood.

Adding to that, the leather material was very smooth as it did not have much friction as the usual textile. The red wine streamed down from her chest till the hem of her skirt and splattered on the floor.

“Aargh!” Qi Chengyue screamed instinctively without caring about her public image. This was her favorite dress among the other outfits for the wedding. She could also wear this dress when she attends a normal banquet in the future. The uniqueness of the dress was also one of the reasons why she fell in love with the dress, as it would portray an entirely different style if the piece of cloth behind was removed.

However, it was totally ruined today!

The red wine stains on the leather could not be removed. This outfit would no longer be wearable!

Even so, this was still secondary. The most important thing was that it ruined her mood today.

Her luck had gone downhill since the moment she met with Song Yu, not a single thing had worked out in her favor.

Song Yu came here purposely to make a scene!

How dare Song Yu disrupt her perfect wedding!

From her perspective, Song Yu attended on purpose to spite her!

Or else, why would she destroy her dress with a single toast!

Qi Chengyue’s expression became fiercer and was on the verge of bursting out. Guan Liya ran over in a hurry with a tissue in her hands. She comforted her tantrum while she wiped the red wine stains off her clothes, “How is it? Are you okay?”

Qi Chengyue remained silent and glared at Song Yu viciously.

Guan Liya was extremely nervous as she was afraid that Qi Chengyue would throw tantrums and make a scene. At this moment, she could hear the murmurs and whispers among the guests started to rise again.

“Bring her back inside to change her clothes,” Qi Chengzhi said to Jian Yi in an unconcerned manner.

Jian Yi pursed his lips tightly and glanced at Qi Chengzhi. He put some pressure on the hand that clasped her shoulder and said, “Let’s go back in to change your clothes.”

“Go and change your dress,” Guan Liya advised her while she turned Qi Chengyue around carefully and pushed her gently.

While Qi Chengyue was being driven away by Guan Liya, she turned her head around with reddened eyes and said to Song Yu with a restrained voice, “Are you satisfied? You had to come and ruin my wedding, don’t you? Song Yu, you’re pushing it way too far!”

Song Yu took a breath in frustration. Qi Chengyue was the one who intended to splash her with wine but instead pointed the finger at her.

“We’ve attended your wedding, but we have to leave now as we got other plans,” Qi Chengzhi stood by the table with an expressionless face. He acted so impassionately as if this was not his own sister’s wedding and was somebody else’s.

The glum look of Qi Zhongliang froze on his face. If he knew that it would turn out this way, he should have let them leave much earlier on!

No one spoke a word after, so Qi Chengzhi took Song Yu’s hand. His palm was bony but firm, it felt especially sturdy against hers.

Throughout the whole situation, Song Yu never once voiced out her opinion. She just obeyed every one of Qi Chengzhi’s decisions without any resistance.

When both of them walked to the entrance of Dynasty, Qi Chengji alighted from an army green jeep and was stunned for a moment when he saw them. He knew that his older brother was not afraid of anything, but he did not expect him to bring Song Yu along to an event like this. His actions were purely made to provoke them.

Before the Qi family could hide the affair between Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi, he brought her out without giving notice and made everyone aware of their relationship. He did not allow his family a chance to say ‘No’!

Qi Chengji’s gaze naturally focused on their tightly interlocked hands. He met Song Yu when they were very little, and she was younger than him. In his eyes, she was like a sister to the Qi brothers, and the relationship he shared with her was much closer in comparison to Qi Chengyue.

Furthermore, Song Yu was only in the third of primary school, learning to write Chinese characters when Qi Chengzhi attended college. Qi Chengji could not help but feel weirded out by them getting together as a couple.

“Why are you guys out here?” Qi Chengji asked.

“It’s a bit rowdy in there,” Qi Chengzhi said indifferently while he tugged the corner of his mouth with sarcasm.
