Xia Yangyang remained quiet after she sat down.
The banquet soon began.
The host of the banquet was the famous variety show host, Wang Le.
Music rang out, and the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed. Gong Xue’er, arm in arm with Lu Haotian, slowly walked onto the stage along the rose-red carpet spread out on the floor.
Gong Xue’er had changed into another outfit, a luxuriously extravagant trailing wedding gown.
Both individuals were extraordinarily good-looking and appeared to be quite a match.
Xia Yangyang heard hushed discussions at the neighboring table: “Who would have thought that Young Master Lu would be engaged at such a young age? I wonder which illustrious family Miss Gong hails from. It seems that her family is not present today.”
“I have a feeling that it might be a shotgun wedding, else why hurry to get engaged before graduation?”
“Didn’t I hear that Young Master Lu once had a marriage agreement with the eldest daughter of the Xia family? The Lu and Xia families were always on good terms, but today at the engagement party of the Lu’s son, no one from the Xia family is here. There must be a reason behind this.”
Gong Xue’er and Lu Haotian were now standing on the stage.
The host was humorous and asked about their love story.
However, it was mostly Gong Xue’er who responded with smiles.
Lu Haotian remained cold throughout, not uttering a word.
Xia Yangyang felt, whether it was an illusion or not, that Lu Haotian’s gaze seemed to constantly be on her.
The host announced the beginning of the banquet. Behind the stage, on a large screen, scrolled wedding photos of Gong Xue’er and Lu Haotian.
Just as Lu Haotian and Gong Xue’er were about to step off the stage.
A clear recording played on the big screen: “Director Zhong, I want you to help me forge a six-week pregnancy test report. I will give you 500,000 afterwards, but you absolutely must keep it a secret.”
“Miss Gong, we as doctors, cannot engage in such fraudulent activities.”
“Let me tell you this. Once I have this pregnancy test, I can marry into Lu family in the city’s south district. Once I become the Lady of Lu family, I’ll gift you five percent of the shares in Lu Group. Think about it. This is a fortune you won’t earn in several lifetimes.”
“The pregnancy test is fake after all. How could Miss Gong enter a wealthy family on the basis of a fake pregnancy test? If this is exposed, wouldn’t it implicate me and Ruian Hospital?”
“You do not need to worry about this. When the time comes, I will need your cooperation to act out a fake miscarriage. If I wasn’t 100% sure, I wouldn’t have come to Director Zhong. Hundreds of millions worth of Lu family assets, aren’t they worth a gamble?”
The recording immediately silenced the entire hall.
Even the host stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what was happening.
Gong Xue’er’s face changed drastically, and she froze.
Because the voice coming from the screen was her own.
She had just been interacting with the host and the content of the recorded conversation was explicit.
In an instant, everyone’s attention gathered on her.
The banquet hall gradually began to explode with whispers.
“What’s going on with this recording? The bride of Young Master Lu has the surname Gong, doesn’t she?”
“The voice in this recording is indeed identical to the voice of the bride just now.”
“God, this woman actually used such a method to marry Young Master Lu, she is so scheming.”
“This bride is really bold, openly scheming against the Lu family, and even coveting Lu Group’s shares without even marrying into the family yet. What an ambitious person, even acting out a whole play.”
“However, who did the bride offend? Why was this recording exposed at this time, ruining her perfect plan?”
Lu Haotian’s gaze also landed on Gong Xue’er’s face.
Gong Xue’er was completely flustered, hurriedly saying,”Haotian, this isn’t true. Someone is framing me, framing me!”
As Gong Xue’er turned her head, she saw Xia Yangyang.
She snarled with rage, “It’s Xia Yangyang! It must be her who’s framing me. The recording is fake! We really had a child. But after Yangyang pushed me from the stairs, the child was lost. You were the one who took me to the hospital, you should know it.. It must be Xia Yangyang who is laying a trap because of jealousy!”
