A City, early summer.
Peony Hall, seven-star Imperial Dynasty Hotel.
Thousands of guests had just witnessed an embarrassing farce: the marriage of the Museec and Reynold families was supposed to be the biggest event in town. Until the groom, Ricardo Reynold, ran away from the ceremony today.
And just as the bride was making her entrance, news flashed on the big screen of Ricardo Reynold's early morning love-making at one third-tier actress's apartment last night.
The Reynold Family is disgraced and embarrassed... They don't know how to end this.
The bride, dresses in a white wedding dress and with a white veil covering her face, now becomes the laughingstock of the city.
In the VIP seat, Mrs Museec can not sit still and looks worried. "Honey, what can we do?"
Mr Reynold, Hayen Museec, is also somber and silent. To tell the truth, this kind of thing has never happened to him either...
Both Museec and Reynold are among the four most prestigious families in A City, and the consequences of breaking off a marriage at the last minute are not something a single person can easily afford. He also can not understand, as the second son of the Reynold family, how dare Ricardo Reynold suddenly run away?
The Museec family specially picks up their fifth daughter from Emerald Hill, who had not been home for more than a decade, for this joint marriage. But who would have expected such a scandal?
Mr Reynold hurries over and pats Hayen Museec on his shoulder.
"Hayen, we Reynold family did this wrong, could you please postpone the wedding... I will give you a satisfactory answer when I have captured my second son back."
Hayen Museec is about to open his mouth when he sees the bride on stage starts speaking...
Then the thousands of guests become silence.
Everyone's looking forward to what the bride would say. The most awkward bride in the city, now how does she clean up the mess?
The bride, Grace Museec, with microphone in her hand, calmly glances the room through the white veil.
Then she fixes her eyes on the first row of VIP seats, the man who keeps his head down and playing with his phone.
He looks OK, so just he then...
"Fourth table in the first row, the gentleman in the black suit with his head down on his cell phone. Excuse me."
With a leap of the eyelids, Rivy Flown hears the description... Is she talking about him?
The moment he raises his head, he looks at the woman wearing the wedding dress on the stage and is a bit surprised...
With the white veil, no one knows what she looks like. He has met the first four daughters of the Museec family's five daughters. Only the fifth daughter, who had been living in Emerald Hill with her grandmother since childhood, nobody ever saw her before, and she was picked up by her parents only three days ago.
It is said that the fifth daughter is ugly and stutter, but he hearing her talking a few words just now, it does not seem that she has a stutter problem...
As the man looks up, Grace Museec's crisp voice continues, "Something came up today that I didn't expect... But I don't want to ruin the mood of the wedding party, so I would like to ask you, this gentleman, would you have the courage to come up and be my temporary groom, and join me in this wedding?"
As soon as she said this, the whole audience are burst into noise.
Is this about getting a backup groom? Heard of an backup actor, a backup player , but it’s the first heard of a backup groom!
The Museec family and Reynold family are all speechless. Who would have thought this woman would act like this crazy?
Rivy Flown also with a slight surprise. Backup groom, he? She asked him if he dare? Is it a deliberate dare?
He thinks it is a very silly thing to do, but for some reason his legs would not listen to him, and automatically get up and walks towards the stage.
In fact, Rivy is very curious in his heart. What would this woman do next? Not many people do something so outrageous these days, especially one with such a prestigious family.
His heart, which has been buried for a long time, is once again aroused by interest...
The son's aberration makes his mother, Mrs Flown, stamp her feet with impatience, "Rivy, stop and come back!"
