The enormous hall was actually filled with guests.
Sang Qianqian was a little puzzled.
She remembered that Ruan Xiaoshuang had clearly told Xie Shi’an that she did not want to make a big deal out of her wedding and that the guests she invited were mostly close relatives and friends. She would not invite too many people, so why were there so many unfamiliar faces today?
She sent a message to Xie Shi’an to ask about the situation. Xie Shi’an quickly replied,
[Many of the people who came today are painters. Sister Xiaoshuang said that Song Yu is no longer the same as before and has made many new friends, so the wedding is a good opportunity to use the wedding to make better connections.]]
Sang Qianqian, [So this was all Song Yu’s intention?]
Xie Shi’an replied, [I don’t know. Sister Xiaoshuang didn’t say anything. However, she called me a few days ago and asked me to print more invitation cards. Fortunately, the wedding venue 1 arranged was big enough. Otherwise, it would have been very crowded today.]
Sang Qianqian replied, [Ruan Xiaoshuang isn’t someone who likes lively atmospheres. Why would she agree to invite so many strangers to the wedding?]
[I’m not sure either. Maybe Sister Xiaoshuang is thinking of Song Yu? Moreover, it’s not a bad thing to have more friends.]
Sang Qianqian recalled that day when Ruan Xiaoshuang took a stack of invitations and said that she wanted to bring them to Song Yu’s friends.
She felt that she could guess Ruan Xiaoshuang’s plan more and more. Just as she was about to reply, Shen Hanyu snatched her phone away.
Obviously, Shen Hanyu had seen who she was contacting and was obviously displeased. “Didn’t you just see him? Why do you have so much to say?”
Sang Qianqian laughed. “No, I’m just asking why there are so many guests.”
She reached out to hold Shen Hanyu’s arm and rubbed against his arm like a cat. “Let’s find a place to sit down.”
Shen Hanyu’s expression relaxed a little as he looked around the crowd.
Thanks to his long legs, it was easy for him to locate Sang Minglang from the crowd. “Your brother is here too.”
Sang Qianqian thought to herself, ‘Of course he’s here. After all, he’s the one who snatched my invitation.’
She walked through the crowd with Shen Hanyu and sat down opposite her brother. Sang Qianqian looked around and asked, “Why are you here alone? You didn’t bring your girlfriend?”
Sang Minglang replied, “Didn’t I mention that I’m only here to watch the show? It wouldn’t be suitable for her to come to such an occasion.”
Sang Qianqian felt a little helpless. “Brother, today is Sister Xiaoshuang’s wedding day. Can’t you watch your words?”
What do you mean by watching the show? What are you talking about!
Sang Minglang rolled his eyes at her, rendering Sang Qianqian speechless.
Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered with him.
She was thinking about Ruan Xiaoshuang. After sitting for a while, she told Shen Hanyu and quietly got up to look for the latter in the bride’s dressing room.
After she disappeared from his sight, Shen Hanyu looked at Sang Minglang and said, “I don’t remember telling you what happened abroad.”
Sang Minglang raised an eyebrow, “I didn’t say you said it either. My sister guessed it herself.”
He just didn’t deny it.
Shen Hanyu looked at him calmly. “You sent someone to follow Song Yu?”
Otherwise, how could he know the man’s whereabouts so well?
Sang Minglang leisurely lifted his glass of wine and took a sip. “This doesn’t seem to be your business?”
“What do you mean by watching the show? Does it have anything to do with Song Yu’s affair?”
Shen Hanyu’s dark eyes moved slightly. “Big Brother, are you planning to do something at the wedding?”
Sang Minglang slowly replied, “What can 1 do? I’m just waiting for the fun.”
“Let me guess. Big Brother is so sure that there will be a good show, so…”
Shen Hanyu looked deeply at Sang Minglang and boldly guessed, “Could it be that Big Brother has a video of Song Yu cheating and wanted to make it public at the wedding?”
Sang Minglang felt a little embarrassed when Shen Hanyu had seen through his plan so easily.
He put down his wine glass as his face darkened. “Shen Hanyu, you seem to be talking a lot today.”
Shen Hanyu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t meddle in your business. 1’11 be happy to see it happen.”
Sang Qianqian clearly didn’t want Ruan Xiaoshuang to marry Song Yu, but as a friend, she could only respect Ruan Xiaoshuang’s choice.
However, if Sang Minglang were to interfere and stop this wedding, Sang Qianqian might be happier.
Sang Minglang snorted coldly, “At least you know what’s good for you.”

In the bride’s dressing room.
When Sang Qianqian pushed the door open and entered, she saw Ruan Xiaoshuang in her wedding dress. She was sitting in front of the window with her eyes lowered. She seemed to be deep in thought, and no one knew what she was thinking.
She walked over lightly, “Sister Xiaoshuang.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang suddenly woke up and wiped the tears from her eyes in a panic. She then turned around and said, “Qianqian, you’re here?”
Sang Qianqian looked at her reddened eyes, her heart feeling heavier. After a while, she said, “Sister Xiaoshuang, if you go back on your word now, it’s not too late.”
The wedding hadn’t even taken place yet, so there was still time to salvage everything.
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s lips trembled as if she wanted to say something, but after a moment, she only squeezed out a smile. “At this point, I don’t have much of a choice.”
Seeing how determined she was, Sang Qianqian didn’t know what to say.
The two of them looked at each other in silence. Afterward, there was a knock on the door.
“Sister Xiaoshuang, are you ready?” It was Xie Shi’an’s voice. “It’s almost time. We should go to the banquet hall.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s parents had passed away, and the Ruan family did not have any elders. Therefore, Xie Shi’an personally came to attend the wedding as her family member.
When the ceremony began, the next step would be to help Ruan Xiaoshuang walk through the flower gate and the long red carpet to hand her to the groom.
“I’m coming.”
Sang Qianqian silently supported Ruan Xiaoshuang, saying, “Sister
Xiaoshuang, I’ll go with you.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang nodded and held her hand. “Thank you for your hard work, Qianqian.”
Her hands were chilly, perhaps because the air conditioner in the room was a little cold. However, every step she took was steady.
Sang Qianqian sent her to the entrance of the wedding hall. The arch surrounded by flowers and the red carpet covered with petals were already clearly visible.
Inside, the emcee had already begun to speak. The wedding had officially begun.
No matter how unwilling Sang Qianqian was, she could only let go.
Watching Ruan Xiaoshuang follow Xie Shi’an inside, Sang Qianqian subconsciously caught up with him. “Sister Xiaoshuang…”
However, she couldn’t finish her sentence. After two seconds of silence, he said, “Sister Xiaoshuang, you must be happy.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were unusually gentle.
She turned around, held Xie Shi’an’s arm, and stepped onto the red carpet.
Sang Qianqian felt lost. When she returned to the banquet hall, it was already time for the groom to give his speech.
It had to be said that Song Yu’s speech was full of emotion, and it sounded like he was deeply moved.
However, Sang Qianqian only felt that it was extremely ironic.
This person was really shameless. He had cheated on another woman on the eve of the wedding, and he could still say such affectionate words to the bride without feeling any shame at all!
However, the guests who did not know about it were all moved by him and were discussing in whispers.
The only exception was Sang Qianqian’s table, which was filled with cold expressions..
