205: Chapter 25 Disgrace and Ruin

"Why are you still here? Where is Yang Jin?"

Hearing her mother's question, Chen Ling replied with red-rimmed eyes, "I don't know. His phone suddenly became unreachable. Do you think something might have happened to him on the way?"

Chen Ling's mother frowned.

"His phone is unreachable? Did you call the driver to ask?"

Chen Ling paused, then immediately dialed the driver's number.

"Ring... ring... ring..."

Just like with Yang Jin, the driver's phone was also unreachable.

"Mom, what should we do? The driver's phone is also unreachable. Do you think they might have encountered something on the road, or maybe a car accident..."

Chen Ling's mother reacted the same way Chen Ling did, immediately spitting three times, "Bah, bah, bah."

"It's such a happy occasion, don't say such unlucky things. I'll have someone go look for him. You tell the emcee to play the video first and stall for time."

Tears welling up, Chen Ling nodded in agreement.

Outside, the wedding banquet hall was still filled with laughter and cheers.

"This Chen Ling is truly something. She married Shen Yan, who has good development momentum in the business world, the first time, and now she's marrying a finance mogul."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I have a niece who is just as beautiful as her, but we have different fates. Chen Ling managed to latch onto a rich man, but my niece couldn't. She's still working hard to make ends meet."

"Then why don't you help her out?"

"Hahahaha, don't joke with me. The overall environment isn't good right now. It's best not to get involved with poor relatives if you can help it."

"Look at how you talk. If they are our relatives, we should still help out a bit..."

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

In the dim light,

The giant electronic screen began to flash.

"Today is the day I marry Chen Ling. Thank you all for coming to our wedding..."

As Yang Jin's voice appeared on the screen, everyone's gaze shifted to the electronic screen.

Seeing that everyone's attention was captured by the video, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she could stall a little longer, her mother could find someone to bring Yang Jin over.

Just as she thought this, a familiar voice that gave her a bad premonition suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Ya, and I am Chen Ling's ex-husband's sister."

Hearing this, Chen Ling's heart instantly leaped into her throat.

It's over!

She had relaxed too soon!

The video arranged by Shen Ya continued to play on the screen.

"I recorded this video today mainly to expose Chen Ling's past actions to everyone. Why do you think she divorced her ex-husband before?"

Sensing the situation was turning bad, Chen Ling immediately rushed onto the stage and yelled at the emcee, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and turn off the video!"

The emcee replied to Chen Ling with a panicked look, "Bride... I... I can't turn off this video..."

The video on the screen continued to play.

"Chen Ling is an absolute scoundrel! Not only did she divorce her husband when he was at his most vulnerable, but she also colluded with other shareholders to dilute his shares."

"Originally, my brother held over fifty percent of the shares in the company. Under their manipulation, my brother's shares rapidly shrank to just five percent."

"Not only that, but the cars and houses under my brother's name were also quickly acquired by them at extremely low prices!"

Seeing Shen Ya revealing more and more, Chen Ling completely panicked. She lunged toward the computer and frantically pulled out all the plugs.

At this point, the electronic screen completely went dark.

The lights in the banquet hall immediately lit up.

Looking at the flustered Chen Ling on the stage, the guests below began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Damn, is what that woman just said true?"

"You know, I actually heard that rumor before..."

"What Chen Ling did was too unconscionable..."

"More than unconscionable, it's simply extremely sinister!"

"I knew it. Shen Yan was doing quite well before, so how was he inexplicably kicked out of the company? I heard he even worked as a construction worker for a while!"

"Heh heh heh, let me tell you, I have inside information. When Shen Yan was kicked out of the company, I even received an email from Chen Ling asking us not to hire Shen Yan."

"Holy crap! That's too disgusting..."

Seeing everyone discussing the matter, Chen Ling scrambled up from the floor, snatched the microphone from the emcee, and shouted to everyone, "Don't believe what that bitch said! Everything she said is a lie, I didn't do that!"

As soon as the words fell.

Shen Ya stood up from her seat and shouted loudly, "Who is speaking the truth and who is speaking falsehoods, don't you have it clear in your own heart?!"

"Do you think I'm like you, with nothing but filthy thoughts in my mind?!"

The resounding words successfully shifted the attention of all the guests to her.

"Hey! Isn't that the girl from the video just now?"

"Yes, yes, it's her!"

"Hahahaha, looks like there's a good show to watch!"

Shen Ya continued speaking.

"Chen Ling, ask yourself, how did my brother treat you? Ever since you got married, my brother basically listened to everything you said. Whatever you wanted, my brother would try his best to give it to you."

"But why did you treat my brother like this? Why did you treat our whole family like this? If it weren't for you, I... my family wouldn't have ended up like this."

Saying this, she even shed tears.

She truly couldn't understand.

Their family really liked Chen Ling. Not only did they never treat her harshly, but they cherished her like their own daughter. Why would Chen Ling treat their entire family this way?!

"Shen Ya! You did this on purpose, right? You just want to ruin my wedding!"

Chen Ling couldn't hear a word Shen Ya was saying.

All she could think about now was that her wedding was about to be ruined.

Hearing Chen Ling's words, Shen Ya sneered and mocked loudly, "That's right, I want to ruin your wedding. I don't know where you got such thick skin to not only betray my brother but also dare to send my brother a wedding invitation at your second wedding."

"Since you're practically begging us to come and destroy your marriage, why wouldn't we oblige!"

As soon as the words left her mouth.

Chen Ling lunged toward Shen Ya's direction.

"Slap!"

A loud slap echoed.

Everyone was shocked.

"You... you actually dared to hit me?!"

Chen Ling looked at Shen Yan in disbelief.

She had originally intended to slap Shen Ya, but unexpectedly, Shen Yan, who suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist and slapped her back instead.

Shen Yan shook off Chen Ling's hand and coldly retorted, "Why wouldn't I dare to hit you?"
