Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Zheng Cai was frantic while waiting for Ye Yuning. Even though Ye Yuning had said she would come over to discuss things, Zheng Cai just couldn’t feel at ease.

She nudged Ye Shilong. "Call her again."

Ye Shilong, brimming with joy at the sight of the guests who had arrived today, was already thinking about how to leverage these new connections.

Hearing Zheng Cai’s words, he replied irritably, "Haven’t you arranged everything already?"

Zheng Cai grew even angrier when she saw he wasn’t dealing with it. However, she didn’t dare complain on the spot and instead turned around to call Ye Yuning again.

After Tang Xi finished her phone call and arranged everything, she wanted to see what important Weibo post Ye Yuning was making so early in the morning.

She had no idea until she looked, and the sight gave her quite a shock!

Ten minutes later, Tang Xi’s call reached Ye Yuning’s phone. "Ning Bao, am I seeing things?"

She was referring to the marriage certificate, its details blurred out.

Even though it was obscured, as her best friend for so many years, Tang Xi would recognize Ye Yuning on that certificate even if it were smeared to ashes.

Ye Yuning confirmed, "You’re not seeing things. I got married!"

"But who did you marry?"

Tang Xi felt like Ye Yuning was messing with her. Ye Yuning hadn’t said a word about this in her office the day before yesterday! When on earth did this wedding happen? What did ’been off the market for some time’ even mean? She was already married?!

Ye Yuning replied, "I’m not telling you for now!"

"Seriously? What you’re doing..."

Now the whole of Upper City knew the Ye Family’s eldest miss was suddenly about to marry the Qin Family’s eldest son.

There were no reports offering any explanation regarding her former fiancé from the Xiao Family.

And now she posts a marriage certificate, and the groom isn’t her former fiancé, nor is it the groom for today’s wedding?

Tang Xi gasped.

"Is this your counterattack against Zheng Cai and Ye Tong? But did you have to throw yourself into it like this?"

Ye Yuning explained, "Three days ago, Zheng Cai suddenly told me that Ye Tong was carrying Xiao Shuo’s child. As for me, she said she and the Qin Family had already reached an agreement. Do you think I had time to come up with another plan?"

Tang Xi was silent. Indeed, there was no time to think of anything else! By the time Zheng Cai had come to talk to her, the betrothal gifts had probably already been accepted.

But given the circumstances, Tang Xi couldn’t bring herself to ask when Ye Yuning had actually gotten married. Instead, she asked through gritted teeth, "Are you sure Zheng Cai and the Qin Family won’t tear you apart for this?"

"I never promised the Qin Family anything, so why would they tear me apart? As for Zheng Cai, can she really tear me apart?"

Ye Yuning was well aware of the chaos her actions would cause at today’s event. But she didn’t care! Since Zheng Cai was going to invoke their ’connection’ in this manner, Ye Yuning would make sure Zheng Cai paid a price.

Tang Xi knew Ye Yuning would fall out with Zheng Cai sooner or later, but she hadn’t expected it to happen this way. Still, anything was better than marrying that fool from the Qin Family!

She wanted to ask about this sudden husband, but Ye Yuning had already hung up.

「At the wedding venue.」

Zheng Cai was on the phone with Ye Yuning when Ye Tong took the chance to pull out her phone. She saw that someone had tagged her on Weibo!

When she clicked on it, she saw it was a post by Ye Yuning.

The caption said she’d been "off the market for some time," and was even "congratulating myself"? Congratulating herself for successfully snatching away her fiancé?

Seeing the heart emoji at the end, Ye Tong felt a surge of scorn, completely dismissing the phrase "off the market for some time."

She didn’t even look at the photo before putting her phone away. "Marrying an idiot, and she dares to post about it!"

She spat the words with disdain, but inwardly she felt an unprecedented satisfaction. Ye Yuning, you’ve finally gotten your comeuppance!

Yet her triumph lasted only a second.

From a corner came Zheng Cai’s low growl, "You’re not coming? What do you mean, Ye Yuning?"

Ye Tong’s brow twitched!

She instinctively clutched her still-flat belly and walked towards Zheng Cai.

Zheng Cai’s knuckles were white as she clenched the phone, cold sweat beading on her forehead from anxiety.

She took several deep breaths, trying to contain her rage.

But her voice rose noticeably, "Ye Yuning, I was a fool to trust you three days ago! I’m warning you, get to the wedding venue immediately. I’ve brought your wedding dress and gown!"

"If you obediently go through with this wedding today, we can discuss everything else later!"

Ye Yuning retorted, "I have nothing to discuss with you. Mrs. Ye, you’d best look out for yourself!"

"Ye Yuning!" Zheng Cai yelled furiously.

However, the call was immediately disconnected.

Listening to the BEEP-BEEP-BEEP of the disconnected line, Zheng Cai nearly fainted and would have, if Ye Tong hadn’t supported her.

Seeing Zheng Cai’s face turn livid with rage, Ye Tong’s breath hitched. "What happened? Was that Ye Yuning on the phone?"

Zheng Cai barely managed to steady herself. Watching the guests continuously stream in, she suppressed her fury again and again before finally forcing herself to walk calmly toward the lounge.

Ye Tong quickly followed.

As soon as the lounge door closed, Zheng Cai furiously made several calls, ordering through gritted teeth for her people to find Ye Yuning immediately and bring her over.

The wedding is about to start, and she says she’s not coming? She won’t come even for two hundred million? What utter nonsense is this?!
