What did she hear just now?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

How many? Came down from whom? Who said that?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just as the waitress was rebooting her brain, she clearly saw the guests in the main hall opposite her also widen their eyes instantly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But before she could react, she heard a quacking sound\u2014hoarse and raspy, belonging only to an elderly person.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cQuack\u2014!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The waitress instinctively turned her head, and happened to see the old man who had just been slumped in his chair looking half-dead suddenly stand up, full of energy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He didn\u2019t even care about his own grandson still standing dazed on stage. Holding his cane, he walked briskly toward the door, his vigorous strides full of the momentum he had when he charged the frontlines in his youth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The others who had also heard that sentence, upon seeing the old man move, couldn\u2019t be bothered with the gossip happening here anymore. Without a second word, they all rushed after him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014So what if the groom just announced at the wedding that he loved someone else?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That couldn\u2019t compare to the drama happening next door!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Of course, there were some who wanted to eat the drama from both sides. Those with friends asked them to keep an eye on the scene here, while they themselves live-streamed the frontline drama from next door to their friends.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Those without friends had to make a choice, but most decided to rush over to the other side.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

By the time the waitress who opened the door realized what was happening, two-thirds of the guests had already disappeared, all crowding at the side door of the main hall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And from the main hall, quite a few guests had followed the sound to the lounge area too\u2014come on, who wouldn\u2019t want to check this out after hearing about it?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In an instant, the guests from both halls were mixed together, and the originally spacious lobby was now packed shoulder to shoulder.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Standing on the wedding stage, Xu Feng could just see the scene outside and the now-empty banquet hall: “\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His<\/i> touching love declaration\u2026<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But hardly anyone at the scene paid attention to Xu Feng anymore.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even the emcee would\u2019ve gone over to check out what was happening, if not for the final payment tying him down.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

(<\/span><\/span>Emcee:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0The celebration is often hosted by the groom’s family at a banquet hall and is presided over by an emcee, whose role is to entertain the guests and make the celebration lively)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu\u2019s and An\u2019s parents had also left and rushed over to the banquet hall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But the four parents didn\u2019t go to enjoy the drama, they mostly wanted to escape the awkward situation. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Anyone could guess what they\u2019d be facing if they stayed in that hall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu\u2019s side was even more embarrassed. Even though the An family had come into this marriage alliance to help financially through a difficult time, the An boy had truly liked their son for more than ten years, and now he\u2019d been humiliated in public like this\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They still had basic decency.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Father Xu glanced up at his own father who was leading the charge and felt that the old man walking so fast now definitely also wanted to escape the scene.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

An\u2019s father especially felt ashamed, thinking his son couldn\u2019t even handle a man properly, so he took the opportunity to leave the ceremony hall quickly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But once they reached the other scene, they all forgot their previous embarrassment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Because Old Master Xu had already reached the side door before anyone else had reacted.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even though the security staff tried to close the door, it was impossible. Guests from both halls stood ambiguously on the boundary line\u2014neither moving forward nor backward. The door simply couldn\u2019t be shut.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And since he was elderly, the waitress and security didn\u2019t dare get physical, so Old Master Xu grabbed the best viewing spot right next to the main hall doors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014He even waved for his son and in-laws to hurry over, managing to get both families front-row spots, causing the relatives and guests behind them to grumble in frustration.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At first, Xu\u2019s and An\u2019s parents still felt a bit awkward\u2014they were respectable people, after all. How could they act like this? But then the scene inside the lounge made them toss aside all sense of dignity.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As soon as everyone saw what was happening inside from afar, they couldn\u2019t help but curse in shock.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Old Master Xu muttered in disbelief.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lived over 70 years, thought I\u2019d seen it all\u2026 but something like this\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His eyes, still sharp without glasses, locked on the scene ahead.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Inside the lounge, a man pinned the hands of a beautiful man sitting in a chair, pressing them against his chest, while his upper body leaned downward.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The man was tall, likely 1.9 meters, with broad shoulders. From that angle, only his dangling earring could be seen. The beautiful man\u2019s face was completely blocked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But that didn\u2019t hide the man\u2019s stunning figure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The wedding suit was high-end and custom-made. The embroidery and tailoring represented the highest global standards\u2014very expensive\u2014and it outlined his narrow waist and slightly plump thighs very clearly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Between the man\u2019s legs stood another man in a groomsman outfit.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This groomsman was about the same height as the man behind the chair, with dyed blond hair. The black roots were already growing in, making him look less like a sleazy punk and more like a hunting leopard.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even his movements were elegant yet dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He bent down too, placing his hands on the slim waist of the beautiful man. His head leaned down too\u2014judging by position, it was right next to the man\u2019s face, opposite the man behind the chair.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

An\u2019s mother couldn\u2019t help but think:<\/span><\/span> \u201c\u2014How could there be such a debauched scene in this world!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n

But An\u2019s mother soon realized\u2014things were about to get even worse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Because when the two men heard the noise and got off the beautiful man, they greeted the man at the door.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBro, we were just saying hi to your future wife. Why so worked up?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDad, you\u2019re here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Their<\/span><\/span> tone was natural\u2014way too natural\u2014<\/span><\/span>if only their hands weren\u2019t still on their sister-in-law’s stepmom\u2019s body!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The actual groom\u2019s assistant looked completely stunned. The man in the chair was blushing so hard he looked like he was bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Humiliated beyond belief.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu\u2019s and An\u2019s parents and Old Master Xu all felt internally once again that <\/span><\/span>this drama was worth every second.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

They completely forgot that their sons were still in the middle of a wedding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even when the assistant came to ask what to do, Xu\u2019s mother simply waved her hand and said: \u201cThey\u2019re adults. Let them deal with it themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Don\u2019t interrupt my drama time!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

When Xu Feng, still wearing his groom\u2019s outfit, came looking for people, he couldn\u2019t even tell where his parents and grandfather were.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014There were so many people outside the side door, it looked like a supermarket sale for eggs!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng stood there for quite a while before spotting his parents, but he couldn\u2019t get through\u2014every time he tried, someone pulled him back.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

No one even recognized him as Xu Feng.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Someone even pointed at him and said: “Hey kid, if you didn\u2019t get a front-row spot, stop pushing. Go eat drama from the back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He was ready to lose it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

An Yang was crying alone in the lounge, and because of his own impulsiveness, Yun Cheng had left the wedding saying he couldn\u2019t face it anymore. Xu Feng had to fix this wedding before he could go find Yun Cheng\u2014but now\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He didn\u2019t even know what had happened!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

All he could gather were fragmented whispers\u2014apparently something about a younger uncle and a stepson harassing a sister-in-law who was also a stepmom?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Xu Feng thought it must be a joke\u2014how could such an absurd thing happen in real life?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Until he finally squeezed into an angle where he could see what was going on in the banquet hall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014The first thing he saw was a tall man standing at the lounge door.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He was wearing a wedding suit and gloves, expressionless.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Time had left some traces on his face, but not much\u2014if anything, it added to his charisma.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was hard to believe that the earlier quack came from this composed man.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But everyone could sense his displeasure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His assistant\u2019s flustered expression and frantic movements were enough to show how terrifying the man\u2019s aura was.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And how outrageous the scene inside must\u2019ve been.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng froze on the spot when he saw the man\u2019s face.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He knew this man\u2014that was <\/span><\/span>Qin Shi\u2019s dad<\/span><\/span>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Qin Shi\u2014his personal composer, his bandmate. They had a duo concert coming up in a few months.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And Qin Shi\u2019s dad\u2014Chairman of Qin Corporation\u2014had worked with his parents. He even held Xu Feng when he was little. Divorced for years, recently mentioned by Qin Shi because of an old house fire, and now this\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng suddenly had a very bad feeling about Qin Shi\u2019s family setup.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Could it be that Qin Shi <\/span><\/span>really did have<\/span><\/span> a younger uncle?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng felt the situation spiraling as he tried to squeeze forward\u2014only to see two bodyguards pull two men out of the lounge.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When Xu Feng saw their faces, he froze.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014It was unmistakably Qin Shi and his younger uncle!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The two even greeted the man.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

By now, Xu Feng had fought his way to the front, even vaguely seeing the man in the chair finally stand up and walk out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But in response to their greeting, Qin Yi only said calmly: \u201cOh? Really?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Qin Shi\u2019s uncle smiled sheepishly and said: “Bro, don\u2019t be mad. You knew I\u2019ve always liked Wangxing\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But before he could finish, a strong force accompanied by wind <\/span><\/span>l<\/span><\/span>ashed across his face<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Smack!<\/span><\/span> He got whipped.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The blond man grunted, and the gloomy young man next to him didn\u2019t escape either.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Smack!<\/span><\/span> The youth was whipped too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Neither of them screamed, but the surrounding crowd made up for it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAhhh!\u201d Screams filled the air.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But the tall man in a wedding suit with slicked-back hair didn\u2019t care about anyone\u2019s gaze. He calmly handed the <\/span><\/span>blood-stained whip<\/span><\/span><\/strong> back to the bodyguard and walked into the lounge\u2014without even glancing at his bleeding younger brother and son.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He looked calm\u2014<\/span><\/span>as if he hadn\u2019t just whipped two people\u2019s faces open in public.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng couldn\u2019t see what was happening inside the lounge, but he heard the man\u2019s voice instructing the assistant calmly: <\/span><\/span>\u201cTell the guests, there was a small incident. The wedding will proceed in 10 minutes. Also, change him into the spare wedding suit in 5 minutes.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

His voice was ice cold\u2014accompanied by someone else\u2019s furious cursing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cQin Yi, let go of me! I did not want to marry! I was wailing\u2014!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng vaguely saw a bit \u2014 the tall man\u2019s hand was covering the face of another man in a suit, the man whimpered and could not make a sound.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The tall man\u2019s other hand was pressed against the man\u2019s chest, and even both arms were locked in his embrace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was a very controlling posture.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The assistant, being sensible, shut the door and cut off the sounds from inside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that moment, the two who had been dizzy from the whip finally came to their senses, the sullen youth said nothing, only the blond man hissed once and spat a mouthful of blood into a tissue.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The next second he curled a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth and shouted toward the inside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBrother! You hit my ex-boyfriend, but you couldn\u2019t hit my sister-in-law, oh~\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n
