Su Yang's furious roar instantly plunged the entire banquet hall into dead silence.
All the guests, and even the emcee who had just been trying to salvage the situation, were completely stunned by this sudden turn of events!
One by one, they stared wide-eyed, exchanging bewildered glances, completely clueless as to what was happening!
"What... what's going on? Why did the groom suddenly go crazy?"
"Called off the wedding? Crashed the wedding? Or... did the bride run off with someone else?"
"No, that's the bride herself, isn't it?"
"What exactly happened?"
As for Yun Xiyue, facing Su Yang's bloodshot eyes and his hysterical questioning,
there was not a trace of panic or guilt on her delicate face.
Instead... there was an even colder disdain!
She knew, and she could feel, that Lu Cheng was supporting her from below the stage.
Before, Lu Cheng had always been unilaterally good to her; now, it was her turn to repay Lu Cheng.
She snatched the microphone from the terrified emcee beside her!
Then, meeting Su Yang's terrifying gaze, in front of all the guests present, she launched her long-planned first attack!
"Su Yang!"
Her voice, amplified by the microphone, clearly reached the ears of everyone present!
"Since you asked me why."
"Alright, today, in front of all our friends and family, I'll ask you one thing!"
"Do you dare, in front of everyone, to tell them!"
"How did this so-called marriage of ours come about? Was it... a complete and utter scam meticulously designed by you?"
"And!" Her tone shifted, her voice becoming even sharper!
"Where did the money you used to hold this wedding come from?"
"Do you dare to say?!"
...Su Yang was completely stunned by Yun Xiyue's sudden questioning!
Shouldn't he be in the right?
How did Yun Xiyue end up questioning him instead?
But he was, after all, a former God of War, with psychological resilience far exceeding ordinary people.
After a brief shock, he looked at the woman in front of him, a deeply affectionate expression appearing on his face!
He began to passionately recount the romantic story, "The Kindness of a Single Meal," a tale capable of moving countless young women!
"Xi Xi! How can you say that about me? Have you forgotten everything?"
"Many years ago, on that snowy winter day, the boy who was almost starving and freezing to death outside your house..."
"At that time, I ran away from the orphanage by myself, wanting to find work, but they said I wasn't old enough, and I didn't have money for a return train ticket."
"It was you, you as a child, who gave me a bowl of rice and travel money."
"You even told me that you had just learned 'Difficult Roads,' that there would be a time to ride the wind and break the waves, to set sail and cross the vast ocean, and that I shouldn't be discouraged."
"I have always remembered that day and your words."
"So when I achieved success, I came back to find you! I want to protect you for life, to give you happiness!"
"Crossing the vast ocean, and you are my ideal shore."
With an almost lyrical, affectionate tone, he portrayed himself as a perfect man who "repays kindness."
His words were truly moving and tear-jerking!
Many of the more naive female guests below the stage, after hearing this love story, all had red eyes and discussed it animatedly.
They even began to praise Su Yang, this "devoted God of War"!
...However!
Just as everyone thought this was merely a romantic misunderstanding caused by a lack of communication,
Lu Cheng, who had been sitting quietly below the stage, subtly gestured in a certain direction.
The family of Hangzhou's Richest Man, who had been waiting for a long time, walked onto the stage "escorted" by several black-suited bodyguards!
Leading them was the Richest Man's wife!
As soon as she stepped onto the stage, she dropped to her knees in front of Yun Xiyue with a "thud," and, weeping bitterly, began her tearful accusation!
"Miss Yun! I beg you, please tell Su Yang to let us go!"
"Our Old Wang, he's really dead! He was really driven to his death by this beast, Su Yang!"
From the bag she carried, she pulled out a thick stack of bank transfer records and various agreements!
"Everyone, look, these are the proofs!"
"It was this guy, Su Yang, who blackmailed and extorted our Old Wang for a long time, using the 'life-saving kindness' from back then as a threat, saying he would kill him if he didn't agree!"
"Su Yang demanded money again and again, which ultimately led to our company's capital chain breaking and going bankrupt overnight!"
"My husband... unable to bear such a blow and humiliation, committed suicide in prison three days later, filled with resentment!"
This tearful accusation, along with the "ironclad proofs" in black and white,
instantly shattered Su Yang's carefully constructed image of a "devoted good man"!
With such facts laid bare, Yun Xiyue's hatred for Su Yang intensified.
She sneered and launched her second attack!
"Su Yang! How long are you going to keep acting?"
"Do you think I really don't know anything?"
"You were disgracefully expelled from the army because you only cared about personal gain, disobeyed orders, and committed serious errors! Do you dare to deny this?"
"You used despicable methods to coerce Hangzhou's Richest Man, forcing him to propose marriage on behalf of our two families, thereby achieving your goal of a fraudulent marriage! Do you dare to deny this?"
"From the very beginning, this so-called marriage of ours was a complete and utter scam!"
"Your so-called kindness of a single meal is nothing but a lie you fabricated to take revenge on me, to satisfy your ridiculous possessiveness!"
"You say you were that boy from childhood, but are you? Do you have proof? You don't look anything like him!"
"I'm telling you, Su Yang! I, Yun Xiyue, have never, ever liked you; I don't even know who you are!"
Her words were like a blunt knife, slowly, slice by slice, not killing Su Yang, but making him suffer even more than death!
And the final straw that broke the camel's back followed closely!
Mother-in-law Lin Meizhu's acting exploded at this moment!
She rushed onto the stage as if mad, embracing her "poor" daughter, wailing loudly, and publicly denouncing Su Yang, this "liar," "criminal," and "bringer of bad luck," for his various evil deeds!
She then immediately announced that the Yun Family and Su Yang were henceforth completely estranged!
Her performance, full of tears and emotion, was truly moving and completely solidified Su Yang's image as a "great villain"!
The guests at the scene were utterly astonished!
All public opinion, at this moment, underwent a dramatic reversal!
"How... how did she know all this?"
"No! None of this is true! It's slander! It's a setup!"
Su Yang was speechless!
He subconsciously turned his gaze towards the audience!
He saw him!
He saw the man who, from beginning to end, stood with his arms crossed, a playful smile on his face!
Lu Cheng!
He stared intently at Lu Cheng!
He finally understood!
All of this, everything, was his doing behind the scenes!
