"Your role is over, you can leave now."
A provocative female voice appeared at the wedding of Mo Shixi and Gu Jinting, leaving everyone startled.
Mo Shixi widened her eyes in disbelief and turned her head.
At the church entrance, her best friend Song Lian, dressed in a white wedding gown, stood in the aisle with a charming smile.
A bad premonition suddenly welled up in Mo Shixi's heart.
Song Lian's wedding gown was pure and ethereal, adorned with sparkling sequins. A hint of charm and allure could be seen in the flowing lace. But what shocked Mo Shixi the most was that Song Lian's wedding gown was exactly the same as hers…
"Song Lian, you…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Song Lian gave a soft laugh and gracefully stepped towards the two, under the gaze of all the guests.
"Didn't you understand? I'll repeat it then, I said Mo Shixi, the person Gu Jinting is marrying is me, you can leave now."
With that, she stopped in front of them.
Looking at Mo Shixi's shocked face, a curve rose at the corner of her mouth. Slender and fair arm gently rose and placed in front of Gu Jinting.
Mo Shixi anxiously waited for Gu Jinting's response, her grip on his hand unconsciously tightening.
Sensing her reaction, Gu Jinting furrowed his brows slightly, yanked his hand loose and placed it on Song Lian's extended hand with a beaming smile.
"Baby, why did you only come now? If you were any later, I can't stand it anymore."
Hearing Gu Jinting's impatient tone, Mo Shixi felt as if she was in a dream.
"No... This can't be true, Jinting, you're joking with me, right? Xiaolian, come back, can you stop fooling around, please?"
Witnessing this scene unfold before her own eyes, Mo Shixi was shaking her head in disbelief.
Impossible! This can't be happening! One was the man she was about to marry, the other her closest girlfriend, how could they possibly...
Her slightly crying voice echoed in the silent chapel, clearly heard by everyone present.
The guests were all well-known figures in the finance industry. After a short silence, they broke out discussing in hushed voices, looking mockingly at the three of them.
Such a spectacle in the Mo family of Nancheng, it was a once-in-a-century sight...
"Mo Shixi, should I say you're naive, or just plain stupid? The situation has developed just like what you have witnessed, why are you still in denial?"
Song Lian's harsh words rang out in her ears, yanking her back to reality.
Looking up at Gu Jinting, Mo Shixi tightly grasped his arm as if a drowning person grabbing at a lifesaving straw, shaking her head continually.
"Jinting, tell me this is just a prank between the two of you, I won't get angry, tell me..."
Gu Jinting sneered coldly, disdainfully shook off her hand. Under the gaze of Mo Shixi's wide eyes and all the guests, he embraced Song Lian's waist, lowered his head and kissed her.
After a long moment, their lips parted, Song Lian blushing deeply, teasingly patted Gu Jinting's chest and said coquettishly, "Don't be naughty..."
This scene made Mo Shixi's eyes sting with tears and her body shook slightly.
"Why? Gu Jinting, where have I ever wronged you that you would humiliate my family like this?"
By this point, if Mo Shixi still didn't understand their intention, she wasn't fit to be the heiress of the Mo family.
Among the guests gathered here today, any one of them could cause a financial storm in the southern city with just a flick of a finger. Now gathered here, they watch this drama for free. I'm afraid that by tomorrow, every newspaper and television station in the southern city will advertise this event to the public.
By then she, Mo Shixi, and her grandfather, Mo Zhen, will truly become laughing stocks in the industry.
Thinking of her grandfather still among the guests, Mo Shixi took a few deep breaths, suppressing the weakness in her heart, and looked up at Song Lian, who was nestled in Gu Jinting's arms, her eyes cooled.
"Song Lian, I've always regarded you as my best friend. Why did you do this?"
Song Lian raised her head, swept the hair next to her ear aside, then let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Friend? Mo Shixi, are you trying to nauseate me on purpose? If we are friends, how could you have not realized that Jinting and I have been together for over a year?"
Over a year?
Just these three words shattered the resilience that Mo Shixi had accumulated.
"Song Lian, take a good look. He is my, Mo Shixi's, fiancé!"
After she said that, she turned her head to look at the silent Gu Jinting.
"Why don't you speak? Say something!"
Gu Jinting looked at her in panic, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by a sarcastic smirk. Since he decided to play the part, he would play it well.
With his arm around Song Lian's shoulders, a mocking smile formed on his lips.
"Fiancé? Mo Shixi, you're really naïve. Did you really expect me to marry you?"
Mo Shixi looked at Gu Jinting in disbelief, as if seeing him for the first time.
"What did you say?"
"I said, Song Lian is gentler than you, more caring than you, better at taking care of people than you, and even... more liberal than you." At the end, he turned his head and gave Song Lian a smile. That smile, in Mo Shixi's eyes, was even more dazzling.
"Hehe, Jinting, let's not accept her anymore, everyone is waiting." Song Lian saw everyone's mocking eyes at Mo Shixi, and let out a light laugh.
How beautifully she had completed the task her father had given her of humiliating the Mo family through Mo Shixi...
