The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard -
Chapter 286
Chapter 286: 286
The hotel was packed to the brim, and they had never seen so many influential figures gathered in one place before, with people from all walks of life, both from the underworld and the lawful side, all congregated here. As a result, more and more people grew curious about the name Ye Tian displayed on the fluorescent screen at the hotel entrance.
As the motorcade arrived, more and more people began to look forward to this person named Ye Tian, all of whom had been invited by Shen Xuepei, Zheng Xinru, and Lin Jingran. Though they were all women, any man backing them could easily wield tremendous influence in Tianhe. The news that Zuo Zhengyang’s godson was getting married to Tang Guoqing’s daughter was an explosive story that naturally attracted many who loved to join in the festivities, even though many of those present didn’t even know who Ye Tian was.
The music playing at the hotel entrance was unknown, but someone had chosen "A Joyous Day," which voiced the sentiments of the bridal couple, "Dressed in red, happiness posted on the door, the drums and gongs of the wedding procession sound, the bride and groom bow to Heaven and Earth, joyous events abound..."
Ye Tian pondered to himself that Li Jing’s taste wasn’t this dramatic; it must be Pig Hu’s masterpiece. Turning his head, there was Pig Hu indeed, completely enraptured by the music as if he was the person being sung about.
With all the guests seated, the emcees and the newlyweds came onto the stage.
Li Jing had shed his Zhongshan suit for a crisp white western-style suit, and by his side was the unrivaled beauty, Li Ruoshui, in a white dress that accentuated her delicate elegance. The Li siblings were the perfect choice to host this event. Pig Hu, watching them from below, snorted in a rather disgruntled fashion. It wasn’t until Shen Jingwei kicked him that Pig Hu stopped snorting and moved to another table to continue his rumbling discontent.
"Today, January 1, 2012, is a fortuitous and prosperous day. We are gathered here in the Tianhe Hotel to celebrate the wedding of Mr. Ye Tian and Miss Tang Su. Entrusted by the couple, Miss Li Ruoshui and I will serve as your hosts for the wedding ceremony. First and foremost, please allow me to represent the couple and both their families in extending a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all guests and dear friends who have joined us today!"
A wave of hearty applause arose from the audience. Ye Tian glanced sideways, not expecting this handsome lad to also be a smooth talker.
Equally surprised were those stalwart ancestors sitting down there, who weren’t afraid to cause a ruckus. Seeing Li Jing, usually so reticent that not even a fart could be wrung out of him, acting high and mighty on stage like an elephant with a nose of a pig, they clapped and whistled.
This scene continued until Li Jing handed the microphone to Ye Tian. Before doing so, Li Jing even bowed to the audience in thanks, causing Pig Hu and the rest to roll their eyes.
"Alright, now let’s listen to a few words from our groom. Mr. Ye, I see your hands seem to be trembling a bit."
Laughter broke out in the audience.
"A little nervous."
"Can you do it? If not, I can lift the bride’s veil for you."
Ye Tian was shocked, "That’s not going to happen."
Li Jing teased, "Does everyone want to see the bride?"
The crowd answered loudly, "Yes!" Long Daxiang’s voice was especially loud; when he shouted, the water in the teacup in front of him even splashed out a bit.
Shen Xuepei smiled gently, very kindly, with Zuo Zhengyang gently placing his hand over one of hers, his face showing the same warmth and tranquility.
"Mr. Ye, seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic, why don’t you let them admire the beauty of the new bride?"
Ye Tian gave him a blank look, wondering why he hadn’t realized that this grandson was also a sneaky troublemaker.
Li Ruoshui handed over the scale bar appropriately, a specialized tool for lifting the bridal veil; this had to be done with care. Ye Tian took the scale bar, wrapped in bright red silk satin, from Li Ruoshui and quietly observed the red veil. Behind this piece of cloth was his wife; what a challenge it had been to make it to this day!
"Come on, lift it! If you don’t, I will!"
The crowd below began to heckle, and Ye Tian smiled and finally gently lifted the veil. The couple was to toast each other later, so of course it had to be lifted.
"Susu? Su..."
Upon seeing Ye Tian, Tang Su’s lips curled into a smile, but her eyes were somewhat unfocused, and she looked extremely weak. A thread of fresh blood trickled out from her lips, dark and bruised, blackish-purple.
Her legs gave out, and she collapsed into Ye Tian’s arms. Holding her, Ye Tian seemed stupefied, forgetting what to do. Li Jing dabbed some of her blood, smelled it under his nose, and his expression darkened, "Pig Hu, call Liu Haiju over! Fast! She’s been poisoned!"
No one could touch the Mo Family. This was something Mo Yan had once told Ye Tian, and she had also mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally to Shen Jingwei. It was nothing more than giving them some reassurance; she would need these two in the future, and they might become the most significant cards in her hand, but now she was somewhat unsure as they both seemed a bit uncontrollable.
In the deep courtyards of the alleyways within Beiping City lay a Qing Dynasty King Mansion. The north’s winter was very dry, but the sun was equally delightful, unlike the damp, sticky weather of the south. The bare branches, devoid of leaves, broke the continuous sunlight, scattering it mischievously onto the green stone slabs of the large courtyard, teasing and playful.
In the quadrangle’s yard, a capable long-haired young girl sat on the steps of the main hall, dressed in a beige trench coat, with a nearly earth-yellow large dog lying at her feet, a Langqing, a police dog breed domestically bred in Huaxia. Though not as world-famous as a German Shepherd, it had a very high reputation in Huaxia. At this moment, the Langqing lay quietly on the ground, basking in the sun, enjoying the strokes of its female owner.
"Yanyan, soaking up the sun."
Mo Yan turned her head, and the old master, leaning on a cane, emerged from the main hall, his spirit shining with vitality, showing none of the frailty one might expect from an eighty-year-old.
"Grandpa, you should be honest and stay inside listening to the radio; why come out? Just lie down."
Seemingly indifferent towards her own grandfather, Mo Yan glanced back only briefly before turning her attention back to the Langqing on the ground. She repeatedly caressed its sleek and shiny fur. However, the dog, upon seeing the old master, perked its ears up instantly, panting with its tongue out, holding its head high and motionless, watching the old master behind Mo Yan. Its disobedience briefly annoyed Mo Yan, who scolded it, and the big Langqing reluctantly lay back down, allowing Mo Yan to stroke its back haphazardly.
The old man behind her couldn’t help but laugh at the scene, "The dog hasn’t annoyed you, why scold it?"
