"How could we dare to invite you? You are a jinx to all the newlywed couples. After all, no one wants their partners to cheat on them after marriage." Xue Linâs words were straightforward and merciless.
Pfft!
Someone of the back, couldnât control his laughter. Those who knew the situation of the Ge Family, they tried to hide their discomfort. They wanted to laugh but they didnât dare to offend the Ge Family. However, they cheered for the bravery of the bride.
Ge Chuan Li and Bai Yueâs expression changed. Their faces turned red in embarrassment. "You!" Ge Chuan Li did want to curse her but he couldnât do it in front of so many prestigious people.
"Why are you here?" Ge Chen calmly asked. He didnât look amused at all. If possible, he didnât want to face them today.
Ge Chuan Li calmed down. He knew this wasnât the time for getting angry. He said in a sympathetic tone, "How can we not come to my sonâs wedding? Why are you acting like this, Xiao Chen?" He tried to be on everyoneâs good side. If he did, Ge Chen and his wife wouldnât dare to say "no" to him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But he didnât calculate something and that was âXue Linâ. Xue Lin did not give a damn about what others say about her. She said, "Where did your fatherhood go when you cheated on your wife, divorced her, and then kicked them out of your house? Did you think you are an Oscar winner? I know many good actors and actresses who didnât get Oscar even though they were in the acting industry for many years. How did you have the guts to act in front of so many people without realizing how sucky you are at it?"
Truthfully, Ge Chuan Li wasnât all that bad. He was able to fool the guests until Xue Lin opened her mouth. The guests seemed embarrassed that they were fooled by a man but the little girl saw through it. They were displeased with Ge Chuan Li but stayed silent.
At that moment, Ge Chuan Li wanted to slice Xue Linâs mouth. This girl had no shame and she never held back her tongue when she talked to her elders. His heartbeat increased but he still tried to stay calm. He looked at Xue Lin with displeasure and asked, "Girl, did no one teach you how to talk to your elders?"
"Mr. Cheat, did no one teach you not to sleep around with street women and make them pregnant when you have a family at home?" Xue Lin was stunned. "How can you be shameless enough to come here with that woman?"
Her eyes landed on Bai Yue and she said, "And you, how many times do I have to tell you not to wear such revealing clothes? Donât you have an ounce of dignity? Was seducing one man and destroying a beautiful family not enough? Do you want to seduce other men and destroy other families too?"
Most of the ladies gasped and glared at their husbands. Their husbands diverted their eyes from Bai Yueâs cleavage to somewhere else. They felt guilty. Later, the married women glared at Bai Yue while grabbing onto their husbands.
Bai Yue wanted to lash out Xue Lin but flinched seeing those murderous glares. She opened her mouth but nothing came out.
Xue Lin said with disgust, "See? I told you, you are a jinx. Do you believe me now?"
Ge Chuan Li lost it. He sternly asked his son, "Xiao Chen, do you want your impudent wife to insult your father and mother in front of guests?"
Ge Chenâs gaze turned cold. "She is NOT my mother, and my wife is NOT impudent. Did my wife do anything wrong? If so, prove it. There are intelligent guests here. They know whatâs right and whatâs wrong."
Ge Chuan Li replied, "We are here to bless you. Is this how you treat us?"
"You came to bless us without a red packet? Dude, how poor can you be?" Xue Lin asked innocently. She is too simple-minded to realize that Ge Chuan Li and Bai Yue wanted to humiliate them by coming here empty-handed. Unfortunately for them, they were the ones who got humiliated.
According to Chinese tradition, guests give red packets to the newly wedded couples. In China, red represents good luck. When guests offer money or company shares or property will, wrapping with the red packet, it means that they are bestowing their blessings.
But Ge Chuan Li and Bai Yue werenât here to bless them. So, they came empty-handed. It meant that they didnât acknowledge the bride or the wedding.
The guests understood their intention and so did Ge Chen and his grandparents. However, everyone was enjoying the show while Xue Lin skinned them with her sharp tongue.
Gu Xiali was very very pleased with her granddaughter-in-law. She covered her mouth with the wooden fan in her hand to hide her expression and asked her husband, "Dear, where did Xiao Chen find her?" Even she never had the guts to humiliate the Ge Family.
"She is a friend of the Mu Family, thatâs how." Su Fengfei said.
He didnât whisper like his wife and so, many guests who were around them heard his answer. Their eyes widened. At first, they thought that the girl looked too pure and beautiful and thatâs how Young Master Geâs eyes caught her. And now that they saw how sharp her tongue was. They started to think that she must some kind of powerful person or why she would have the guts of badmouthing the Ge Family right in front of their faces."
Ge Chuan Li said, "Very well, I will see how long you can keep up with that facade. If you face any problem, donât come and beg me."
Xue Lin frowned. "As if you have ever helped him. And my husband isnât as shameless as you to beg to a person who thinks with their lower part. I know you are bad luck for newly wedded couples. Now that you tried to curse us, donât blame us if something bad happens to you." Her eyes looked vicious for a second before it turned normal.
No one but Ge Chuan Li saw it. He felt a chill ran down his spine. He asked rudely, "Are you cursing us?"
Xue Lin innocently shook her head. "Not at all. Itâs just that, Karma is trash, like your wife."
