Chapter 506 - 510: If you have any grievances, you may vent them now.
Whatever Lou Xinyu had on her mind, she said it out loud.
Lou Zhaonian, listening on the side, did not find anything inappropriate. He leaned on his cane, stood by the window, and looked at the guests on the deck below.
Xing Chen had already automatically ignored Lou Xinyu’s words. He lowered his eyes, inconspicuously observing Lou Zhaonian’s movements.
Knowing he was watching the guests below, a cold smile spread across Xing Chen’s lips.
He always knew it wouldn’t be easy to deceive Lou Zhaonian, so he had invited everyone who should be invited according to the criteria of a real wedding.
Seeing all these people here, Lou Zhaonian naturally wouldn’t doubt his sincerity.
"The wedding is about to take place. When will you hand over the photos and the witness your Lou family promised?"
Xing Chen withdrew his gaze from Lou Zhaonian and got up, moving away from Lou Xinyu’s side.
For some reason, he always felt a sense of disgust towards this woman.
Lou Xinyu had been quite happy, but upon hearing that Xing Chen had no interest in their wedding and only spoke about Ran Xiangsi, her heart ached terribly.
"At a time like this, must you mention her?"
"If not her, then who? Don’t forget how you forced me to marry you." Xing Chen smiled slightly, his expression not sorrowful or pitiful, but rather filled with gloom.
The primary reason he agreed to marry was to force Xiangsi to come out on her own.
Secondly, he had to figure out who Lou Zhaonian’s so-called witness was.
Back then, Lou Zhaonian had only shown him photos but hadn’t told him who the witness actually was.
This so-called witness, if not dealt with, would be a nuisance for Xiangsi in the future.
Apart from these factors, he had another very important announcement to make to the thousand guests here today.
So... the wedding couldn’t be said to be Xing Chen’s appeasement to Lou Zhaonian’s pressure. Rather, it was him going along with the flow, intending to use Lou Zhaonian to add a surprising element to his plan.
Upon hearing this, Lou Xinyu slightly opened her mouth, "I..." She wanted to retort but didn’t know what to say.
What Xing Chen said was, after all, the truth.
While Lou Xinyu hesitated, Lou Zhaonian finally turned around and gave Xing Chen an indifferent look. "How many marriages in our high society are genuinely for love? Chen’er, you can cause trouble if you feel aggrieved. But once you’re married, you’ll be my Lou family’s son-in-law. You should treat Xinyu well, and think about our Lou family in everything, not for an outsider!"
Lou Zhaonian, indeed an experienced man, had long since viewed love and romance lightly.
In his eyes, love could be dispensable, but benefits were eternal.
Regardless of whether Xing Chen was willing to marry Lou Xinyu or not, as long as he did, it would be greatly beneficial for the Lou family!
The little hesitation in Lou Xinyu’s heart was completely dispelled after Lou Zhaonian said this.
She also got up and walked up to Xing Chen, acting coquettishly, "Alright, Brother William, don’t make Grandpa unhappy. After we get married, I’ll hand Ding Jia over to you."
"Xinyu!" Lou Zhaonian shouted at her as soon as he heard Lou Xinyu mention Ding Jia by name.
This was their last trump card. How could she reveal it so easily?
Xing Chen also frowned, silently pondering this name.
Ding Jia?
