Chapter 58


    Mu Tongrui got off work early and spent a bomb to rent a limited-edition Givenchy gown from a high-


    end boutique.


    Initially she had nned to purchase the gown but thinking that Shen Wanyue might ssh red wine


    on her after she caused a ruckus in her wedding, she decided against it and opted to rent instead.


    When she reached Hilton Hotel, Mu Tongrui saw a screen which showed well-wishes for the couple.


    “Wishing Mr. Jian Zhe and Ms. Shen Wanyue a blissful marriage! May the bride and groom live happily


    ever after to a ripe old age!”


    Lived happily ever after to a ripe old age?


    Mu Tongrui smiled wryly. After her ruckus tonight, perhaps Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue would not even


    get married, let along living happily ever after to a ripe old age.


    Trotting in her high heels, she entered the ballroom with the invitation card in her hand.


    She spotted several familiar faces from the upper reaches of society. It was apparent that Shen Qiu


    and Shen Wanyue had spent a bomb on this event.


    This was not only a simple wedding but also a business event.


    Mu Tongrui nced down at her watch. It was 6pm already. The guests were almostplete. There


    should be over 10 minutes more before the wedding started.


    During her secondary school years, she had performed recitals on the stage in front of a dozen


    ssmates. But tonight, she was about to perform in front of over a hundred guests. It would be a lie if


    she imed that she was not nervous, but she must avenge herself tonight!


    “My dearest guests, the wedding is about to start. Please enter your seats.”


    The guests sat down obediently. Mu Tongrui, despite being a family member, was arranged to sit in the


    table furthest from the stage. Nheless, this did not hamper her ns to go up the stageter.


    Jian Zhe had appeared on the stage with Shen Wanyue who was in a beautiful dress. They looked like


    a perfect match, much to the envy of others.


    Across the vast ballroom, Shen Wanyue still managed to smirk at Mu Tongrui.


    Mu Tongrui sipped her fruit juice gracefully and nced down at her watch again. 5 minutes more to


    the start of the wedding.


    At 6.18pm, the wedding started promptly!


    Just when the emcee was reading his speech while the big screen on the stage was showing Jian


    Zhe''s and Shen Wanyue''s wedding photographs, Mu Tongrui stood up and got onto the stage in one


    swift move!


    Mu Tongrui snatched over the microphone from the unsuspecting emcee!


    Shen Wanyue was shocked, “Mu Tongrui! What are you doing on the stage!”


    Mu Tongrui took her time to test the microphone before she suddenly changed her expression, and


    wailed, “Sister, I am really happy that you and Jian Zhe got married!”


    Shen Wanyue frowned and attempted to pull Mu Tongrui down the stage while she smiled stiffly and


    replied, “Sister, I can feel your well-wishes. Now that we are still in the midst of the wedding, can you


    please go down first and I will apany you for a drinkter?”


    Mu Tongrui simply sat on the stage and wiped the tears off her cheeks, “I know that you are very happy


    with Jian Zhe now. But sister, why did you not tell me earlier that you also liked him? I would surely give


    him up for you. Although we are stepsisters, but I have treated you like a real sister! How could you


    betray me and had an affair with him behind my back?”


    Jian Zhe''s face darkened at the same instant when Shen Wanyue''s face turned a ghostly white.


    A low murmur started among the guests.


    Shen Qiu, sensing that something was not right, stood up immediately and ordered, “Security! Get this


    crazy woman out!”


    A few security guards moved forward to chase Mu Tongrui out. Mu Tongrui lowered her head and


    quickly touched her eyes with her fingers which were dabbed with chili powder earlier. The hot chili


    made her tears streamed uncontrobly.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “Auntie, I know I am not your real daughter but I am after all your step-daughter! Now that the Mu


    family has fallen, you have chased me out immediately but have I everined? But today, you


    cannot chase me out!”


    Shen Qiu was utterly embarrassed. She hissed into Mu Tongrui''s ears viciously, “Mu Tongrui! It is Jian


    Zhe''s and Wanyue''s wedding today! You better behave yourself!”


    Mu Tongrui smiled slyly at Shen Qiu at an angle where only Shen Qiu could see her, and whispered,


    “Shen Qiu, for all the terrible things that you and your daughter have done, I shall avenge myself today!


    But this is only the start!”


    Mu Tongrui then picked up the microphone and wailed loudly, “Wanyue! I am pregnant with Jian Zhe''s


    child! Did either of you think about my child when you were together?”


    Shen Wanyue''s eyes were frantic with shock, “Mu Tongrui! Do not utter nonsense! How can you be


    pregnant with Jian Zhe''s child?!”


    Feigning weakness, she brushed away the tears on her cheeks before she continued, “Jian Zhe came


    to me yesterday and apologized to me. He said he was blinded by greed hence he got together with


    you. He realizes now that I am the one, he truly loves. Wanyue, I implore you, please return Jian Zhe to


    me? My child and I cannot do without him...”


    The guests under the stage began to chant, “Return the groom to her! Return to her!”


    Mu Tongrui lowered her head and smiled to herself. When she lifted her head again, she put on a pitiful


    look immediately. Jian Zhe whose face had turned a ghastly shade, was at a loss for words.


    Shen Wanyue red at him, “Jian Zhe! Did you really go and find her yesterday?!”


    No wonder he had returned home covered with bruises, and was stammering when he answered her


    when she asked him where he had gone to! He was obviously lying!


    “Wanyue, listen to my exnation! I did not...! The child in her stomach cannot be mine!


    Mu Tongrui sobbed gently, “Jian Zhe! I know that you have abandoned me because of your standing in


    the society! I know that I am down-and-out now and am not good enough for you! But the child in my


    stomach is innocent, you cannot abandon him!”


    Shen Wanyue kicked Mu Tongrui viciously. Mu Tongrui fell onto the ground and hugged her stomach in


    pain, continuing to scream through her pain, “Ah! So painful! Jian Zhe! Quickly save the child in my


    stomach! Shen Wanyue wants to kill our child! So painful!”


    Shen Wanyue was so shocked that her entire body was trembling. She wanted to kick her again but


    Jian Zhe stopped her by hugging her from behind, “Calm down, Wanyue! Mu Tongrui wanted to trick


    you into kicking her! So many guests under the stage are treating us as a joke!”


    Shen Wanyue hissed through her clenched teeth, “Mu Tongrui, I will settle this with you one day!”


    The wedding was now in tatters. That pair of mother-daughter and Jian Zhe had escaped dejectedly.


    Mu Tongrui smiled to herself slyly and wiped the tears off her cheeks. She was about to stand when


    she saw an outstretched hand in front her dejectedly.


    She lifted her head and saw that the hand belonged to a gorgeous man.


    The man was smiling at her devilishly, andmented half-jokingly, “Your acting is not bad, just a little


    bit exaggerated.”
