Chapter 64: Zhao Dong Starts Performing

“I’m just a guest here to give my blessings to the newlyweds.”

Zhao Dong calmly responded to the question.

“Although I’m Xu Yan’s ex-boyfriend, today I sincerely wish the couple a lifetime of happiness and many children!”

After speaking, Zhao Dong took a pure gold necklace with a longevity lock from Uncle Lai’s hand, looking at Xu Yan and speaking softly.

“Yan Zi… no, now I can only call you Xu Yan… Do you know, back then you said the nickname ‘Fu Bao’ sounded nice and that our future child, whether boy or girl, should be called by this name.”

“Hearing this made me happy, so I secretly had this made.”

“What a pity…”

Zhao Dong caressed the words “Fu Bao” on the longevity lock, speaking with a sense of regret.

“Pity things didn’t go as planned, today you’re the bride and I’m just an ordinary guest!”

“Let this be my blessing for your wedding!”

“When your child is born, they can wear it!”

After saying this, Zhao Dong glanced at Xu Yan’s belly, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing Zhao Dong’s performance and the unpleasant expressions on Xu Yan and Chen Hao’s faces, everyone began whispering.

“Did he say that on purpose or by accident?”

“Definitely on purpose. If he truly wished them well, he wouldn’t bring up the past at his ex-girlfriend’s wedding! They must have a grudge!”

“I think so too. The groom’s face is already lost…”

“But you never know, what if it’s true…”

“Thinking about the baby’s birth, naming them, could it be Chen Hao is taking over…”

Below, Wang Haoran watched with interest.

Zhao Dong’s words were clearly fabricated to provoke the Chen family. Could it be he’s been holding back too long and decided to go big before leaving S City?

Well, he’s walking right into it!

On stage, Xu Yan and Chen Hao’s faces darkened, but they remained silent.

They were instructed to just get married properly today and ignore everything else.

Although they wanted to retort and mock Zhao Dong, they feared interfering with Wang’s plan, so they stayed quiet.

Let’s just lose face, it’s not the first time.

Previously, they had to cooperate with Zhao Dong’s show-offs, getting humiliated after each taunt, even slapping themselves in public over a bet.

Now, being whispered about was nothing; their skin was already thick!

Seeing their strange reactions, the guests grew more suspicious.

Unaware of the situation, Chen Hao’s father was extremely angry.

What’s this brat’s agenda? Clearly against the Chen family!

If Xu Yan isn’t pregnant, fine. If she is, it’s complicated!

Without a test, rumors will disgrace the Chen family.

With a test, even if clear, it still brings shame. And if there’s an issue…

Damn, the more Chen Hao’s father thought, the angrier he got, shouting loudly.

“Security, throw this nonsense-talking kid out!”

Four security guards quickly surrounded Zhao Dong and Uncle Lai.

“Please leave immediately!”

Threatened by security, Zhao Dong remained calm, gesturing for Uncle Lai to stay put, then looked at Chen Hao’s father.

“A guest is a guest, is this how you treat your guests?”

“Hmph! Only those we invite are guests. You, crashing the wedding, causing trouble, deserve to be thrown out! Get him!”

Chen Hao’s father signaled the guards, but Zhao Dong pulled out an invitation.

“Who said I wasn’t invited? Look at this!”

However, Chen Hao’s father didn’t take the invitation, continuing disdainfully.

“A fake invite to deceive us? We’ve never heard of Xu Yan’s ex-boyfriend!”

“Even if your invite is real, you must’ve stolen it!”

“Haha, really?” Zhao Dong smiled mysteriously, inwardly gleeful—he’d been waiting for this!

He began speaking clearly and deliberately.

“As her ex-boyfriend, I wasn’t invited, but…”

Zhao Dong paused, glancing at Xu Yan and Chen Hao before focusing on Chen Hao’s father.

“—as the owner of the ‘Stars and Sea’ restaurant, I personally received your wedding invite!”

Finishing loudly, Zhao Dong felt triumphant!

About to leave S City, he decided to go all out!

As expected, his words sparked shock and disbelief around him.

“What?!”

“Him? The owner of ‘Stars and Sea’?”

“Impossible! The owner was bald!”

Some doubted, but most, including Chen Hao’s father, thought Zhao Dong was lying, mocking and cursing him.

Zhao Dong wasn’t angry, knowing someone familiar with his identity was present and would soon step up to flatter him!

One, two, three—

Counting to three, Zhao Dong saw a handsome young man approach.

Exactly!

Wang Haoran, S City’s richest man and a subordinate of the Zhao family!

His father had told him Wang Haoran had joined Zhao family, supporting him in S City!

Because of this, Zhao Dong hadn’t let Zhao family trouble Wang Haoran, considering him “one of us”!

But Zhao Dong also secretly planned to teach Wang Haoran a lesson once he took over Zhao family.

He knew Wang Haoran had no real connection with Xu Yan, but remembering Wang Haoran’s disdainful, noble gaze at his once humble self made Zhao Dong uncomfortable.

However, knowing the Zhao family’s resources were limited, even his doting father wouldn’t agree to waste them on Wang Haoran.

So Zhao Dong had to let it go.

“Hmph, let’s see you fawn over me first. I’ll deal with you later!”

Zhao Dong thought.

As Wang Haoran approached, seeing Zhao Dong’s proud posture amidst the ridicule, he was puzzled.

All guests were hand-picked by me; none know your hidden identity. You expect someone to help you show off? Ridiculous—

Wait, almost forgot, there’s one who knows your identity!

But too bad, I’m not here to help you; I’m here to expose you!
