On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Jiang Yao heard footsteps behind her and turned around. She saw Shen Yanchuan right behind her. Instantly, her heart was struck by lightning and began to pound violently, and her breathing became rapid.

However, Shen Yanchuan's gaze did not fall on her, but rather looked past her at Su Chenxi. He said in a low voice to the female customer blocking his way, "Excuse me."

Upon hearing the voice, the female guests turned around and nervously made way.

Su Chenxi had been slandered by Zhu Ying and Ji Kexin for a long time, and she dared not show her grievances and anger. Just then, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, and she looked up in surprise.

Meeting a pair of deep, gentle eyes, she was both surprised and delighted; her savior had arrived.

"Auntie, may I ask my wife to say a few words?" Shen Yanchuan began in a low voice.

Without waiting for anyone's reply, he pulled Su Chenxi into his arms and forcefully led her away from the group. Under everyone's gaze, he kissed Su Chenxi's forehead with his thin lips, full of affection.

A group of female guests behind them stared in astonishment at the scene. Good heavens! How could Shen Yanchuan treat such a promiscuous girl like a treasure?

"Aying, how did your nephew become the CEO? Didn't he see what kind of person his wife is?" Ji Xinyue said with dissatisfaction.

"I only knew he used to be lame, but I'd never heard that he was blind. Now it seems his eyesight is indeed poor," Zhu Ying sneered.

Su Chenxi's mood was indeed affected; her eyes seemed to have lost their light. She was led by Shen Yanchuan to the second-floor private room. Once the door closed, the liveliness of the banquet was shut out.

Su Chenxi sat on the sofa, silent like a sullen child.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Shen Yanchuan squinted at her.

Su Chenxi shook her head, not wanting to complain to him, "It's nothing, I just heard some gossip about me."

"What did they say about you?" Shen Yanchuan pressed.

Su Chenxi certainly couldn't tell him, since she was being called promiscuous, and he was being called promiscuous too.

"Never mind, can I rest here for a bit?" Su Chenxi asked, she needed some peace and quiet.

Shen Yanchuan nodded. He did indeed have many social engagements tonight and couldn't accompany her.

"Okay! You can rest for a bit. You don't have to go out if you don't want to." After saying that, Shen Yanchuan opened the door of the private room and went out first.

Downstairs, Xia Xiaomeng stared at the private room on the second floor. It seemed that her plan was about to be implemented, and she absolutely could not miss the opportunity tonight.

"Miss Jiang, please excuse me for a moment," Xia Xiaomeng said to Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao smiled and nodded. Then, she saw Shen Yanchuan stepping down the stairs. Under the light, his handsomeness carried an unparalleled nobility. It wasn't just his appearance; the aura of strength he exuded was even more admirable.

How could she miss out on such a wonderful man? If she were the leading lady tonight, she wouldn't have to endure everyone's disdain.

"Hey! Aren't you the one carrying the fake bag? How dare you bump into the same bag as the second young mistress of the Shen family?"

"Exactly, you're showing off your fake bag like you're afraid we won't recognize it."

There are so many shameless people!

Jiang Yao's face flushed red with anger. The more smug and proud she had been just moments before, the more embarrassed she became now. She bit her red lips and said, "I didn't know it was a fake bag. It was a gift from a friend."

"What's there to explain! You think you don't know? You know how much a real bag costs and how much a fake bag costs, right?"

"That bag is only fit for the Second Young Mistress's status. What kind of person are you to dare to bring it out and embarrass yourself?"

“You… I am a member of the Jiang family. Su Chenxi is just my mother’s illegitimate daughter. I am the one who should have been married into the Shen family.” Jiang Yao angrily revealed her identity.

The young ladies were immediately taken aback. What? She's a young lady from the Jiang family?

"Since it's a marriage alliance between you and the Shen family, why don't you marry into the family yourself? Why let someone else benefit from it?"

"They must have looked down on Young Master Shen because he was a cripple before! What's the use of regretting it now?"

Jiang Yao's face flushed red with anger again, and she turned and left.

On the second floor, Su Chenxi was drinking water and eating some fruit, wondering when she could go back, when there was a knock on the door, and then Xia Xiaomeng walked in.

"Are you resting here alone? Isn't your husband keeping you company?" Xia Xiaomeng asked as she walked in.

"Is there something you need?" Su Chenxi asked coldly.

"You stole the show tonight, but your sister became a laughing stock. You're part of the family, yet you didn't consider her feelings at all. She was carrying a fake bag just like yours, and you insisted on bringing out a real one to expose the fake. You really didn't give her any face!"

"What did you say?" Su Chenxi frowned; she hadn't paid close attention to what bag Jiang Yao was carrying.

"Still playing dumb here? You're doing this on purpose!" Xia Xiaomeng sneered, her gaze sweeping over the evening gown she was wearing. "You have good taste; I was the one who originally had my eye on this gown."

"Then why don't you buy it?" Su Chenxi retorted.

"How could I afford that? You're the darling of the Shen family now. Your husband is rich, and your grandmother dotes on you. They give you everything good. What am I?" Xia Xiaomeng said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Su Chenxi had no sympathy for her. She had been extremely arrogant in front of her before, and now she was playing the victim here. She didn't want to pay any attention to such a sycophantic person.

"Excuse me." Su Chenxi didn't want to stay with her, so she decided to go downstairs to find her mother.

A calculating glint flashed in Xia Xiaomeng's eyes. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for. She went downstairs with Su Chenxi.

“I’m going down to find my husband too.” Xia Xiaomeng followed her out.

Su Chenxi walked ahead, and Xia Xiaomeng immediately lifted her evening gown and took the lead.

The two walked down the stairs almost side by side. Su Chenxi was only focused on looking at the steps, and when Xia Xiaomeng was only four steps away from the hall, she couldn't help but turn around and squeeze Su Chenxi.

Just as Su Chenxi was frowning, Xia Xiaomeng pretended to fall, "Ah..."

Although Su Chenxi disliked her, she still reached out to pull her up when she saw her about to fall. She grabbed Xia Xiaomeng, but Xia Xiaomeng pulled her back, and the two of them fell down the stairs.

"Ah..." Xia Xiaomeng screamed and rolled on the hall floor. Ignoring the pain, she reached out and squeezed the blood bag, and blood immediately gushed out from her genitals.

The moment a female customer saw the blood, she gasped, "Blood...blood!"

Su Chenxi also fell heavily next to her, her forehead hitting the floor and becoming red and swollen. In her dizziness, she didn't know what she had braced herself with. When she looked down, she saw that her fingers were stained with red blood.

She was terrified when she saw the blood seeping from Xia Xiaomeng's thigh.

Just then, Shen Jianchang's panicked voice came, "Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng, what's wrong? Where did the blood come from?"

Shen Jianchang helped Xia Xiaomeng up. Xia Xiaomeng's face was pale, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Husband, our child is gone!"

"Who did it? Who did it?" Shen Jianchang shouted angrily.

Xia Xiaomeng weakly pointed, "She...she pushed me."

This false accusation shocked Su Chenxi. She had clearly been trying to save her, so why would she have pushed her?

"Slap!" Shen Jianchang angrily raised his hand and slapped Su Chenxi across the face without warning.

Su Chenxi was almost deaf on the side of her ear that was hit, and her mouth was also broken and bleeding. Shen Jianchang cursed angrily, "You dare to hurt my child...you bitch."

As everyone's eyes turned to Su Chenxi, Xia Xiaomeng's tear-filled lips curled into a triumphant smile.

In the crowd, someone hurried over, and as Su Chenxi's eyes welled up with tears from the pain, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

She looked up, her face bearing the clear imprint of a slap, which made the man's eyes darken. "Who did this?"

"I hit her. She caused my wife to miscarry. I'd kill her if I wanted to," Shen Jianchang arrogantly admitted.

Su Chenxi finally retorted angrily, "I didn't push her, I wanted to save her."

"You're lying! You were the one who pushed me! You wanted to harm my child... Su Chenxi, you're so cruel! You dare to harm my unborn child! Are you even human?" Xia Xiaomeng pointed a finger, wiping away tears in anguish.

Zhu Ying pushed through the crowd and, seeing this scene, cried out, "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law!"

"Mom, she pushed Xiaomeng, causing Xiaomeng to lose her baby." Shen Jianchang angrily pointed at Su Chenxi.

Zhu Ying, enraged, strode towards Su Chenxi, shouting, "You brat, how dare you harm my grandson!"

“I didn’t hurt anyone,” Su Chenxi retorted loudly, her forehead red and swollen and her mouth bleeding, but her gaze was firm and powerful.

Shen Yanchuan reached out and picked her up, then turned to Zhu Ying's family and said, "Until the truth is found out, I will not allow anyone to slander my wife."

After saying that, he carried Su Chenxi and walked towards the banquet hall entrance.
