Chapter 294: Is There Any Reputation Left After She Did Such a Thing?

In fact, the guests who had arrived early were already discussing their doubts. It was Sheng Minglan’s name that was printed on the invitation cards, but how come the name was changed to Sheng Minghui when they got here? And the poster at the entrance of the hotel. Everyone knew that the name had been edited last minute as it looked fake.

“What is happening? Is the Sheng family playing a joke on us?”

“The bride-to-be was still Sheng Minglan until yesterday. Why has it suddenly changed to Sheng Minghui?”

“This…”

The guests were confused. But nobody dared to ask Grandpa Sheng in person.

It was a thrilling experience at the last engagement ceremony of the Sheng family. This time, was it going to be even more exciting?

Everyone was having the same doubt. Or perhaps it should be said that the guests were having doubts. They were curious to know why the bride-to-be was switched overnight. They wanted to know if Grandpa Sheng would come up with an explanation for this.

At ten o’clock, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi arrived at the venue. It was not the same place they had gotten engaged. This time, Grandpa Sheng put in a lot of effort to make the event as grand as possible. So, as compared to their outdoor engagement ceremony, it was more exaggerated and luxurious this time.

Although it was an indoor ceremony, the hall was big enough to accommodate a thousand people. The ceiling of the hall was decorated like a starry sky, which was indeed stunning enough.

Grandpa Sheng was not expecting Sheng Xiao to entertain the guests, but he still went to him and asked, “How is your Fourth Sister?”

“Why bother to ask since you are the one who hurt her?” Sheng Xiao would not give him the answer so easily.

“Seventh Sister is indeed too much this time. But no matter what, I need to wait until after the engagement ceremony before I can take care of the problem with her.”

“You don’t have to look at me this way, I will not do anything overboard today,” Sheng Xiao knew exactly that Grandpa Sheng was afraid that he might get revenge for Sheng Minglan.

But Fourth Sister would come and do it on her own today. So, he did not need to do anything.

“Where is Qiqi?”

“She is with Grandpa Shen.”

“Just let her entertain him.” Grandpa Sheng harrumphed and stopped bothering Sheng Xiao.

As for Mu Qiqi, she was sitting beside Grandpa Shen. When she saw Grandpa Sheng and Second Aunt, she was very happy. “It has been a long time since we last met. Is everyone okay? How is Dad?”

“Your father is recovering. He’s making great progress,” said Grandpa Shen happily.

“Anyway, Xiao Qi, isn’t Sheng Minglan the one who is getting engaged today? How come it is Sheng Minghui now?” Huang Yu could not help but feel curious. “Why has the bride-to-be changed overnight?”

“Second Aunt, it is a long story,” said Mu Qiqi softly. “It happened last night…”

Once Huang Yu heard the whole story, she was shocked. Then, she felt angry. “How shameless Sheng Minghui is! It’s just the night before the engagement that she snatched someone else’s fiancé. No wonder Grandpa Sheng does not look very well today.”

“Shh! Let’s just keep it between us.”

“Of course, I wouldn’t want to cause you trouble for telling this to other people, would I?”

Huang Yu was becoming more considerate of other people now. She knew it would cause Mu Qiqi trouble in the Sheng family if she did it.

“Anyway, just sit back and watch.”

At eleven o’clock, the couple being celebrated made their entrance into the hall. When the guests saw the bride-to-be was in fact Sheng Minghui, they were dumbfounded.

And Grandpa Sheng started to explain to the guests again and again. “I am very sorry for the confusion. The name on the invitation card was mistaken. Because I let Minglan help planning for the ceremony, it caused a lot of confusion to many people. We only discovered the mistake after the invitation cards were sent out. It is so embarrassing. I hope you wouldn’t mind.”

Since it was a mistake, why was Sheng Minglan not here?

The guests could barely accept the explanation. “Which company did this? Grandpa Sheng should let them have it for messing this up.”

“Indeed.”

“It’s not a mistake. It is a change made last minute. My best friend told me that Sheng Minglan was the one who went to order the dress. If she was just helping, she wouldn’t have to try on the dress for someone else, would she?” Some people were whispering to each other.

“Really? Can you go and ask your friend for a more complete story?”

“This is the personal matter of another family. How can I simply go and ask? But I am sure that something fishy is going on. Otherwise, Sheng Minglan would be here already.”

“Maybe, it is the younger cousin who had snatched her older cousin’s fiancé!”

The two young ladies were gossiping at the side. But, Sheng Minghui heard their conversation from not far away.

With her temper, how could she tolerate that? She went straight to them and said, “What did you just say?”

“We were just…”

“With my high standards, do I need to snatch someone else’s fiancé? This marriage is mine right from the start. Fourth Sister was just helping me…”

“Why are you so angry then?” The two young guests were also not common people. “Everyone is talking about you, not just us. What kind of a family is the Sheng family that you would make such a mistake on the invitation card? What a joke. You are just lying to yourself.”

“Isn’t it obvious? A sudden change of the bride-to-be just before the engagement ceremony. Doesn’t it mean that you stole someone else’s fiancé?”

“It is really a misunderstanding.” In order to stop them from bad-mouthing her, Sheng Minghui whispered to them quietly. “Why can’t it be Sheng Minglan who did something wrong? There were some unsightly things that outsiders might not know. If that was not the case, how come the bride-to-be would change overnight?”

The two young ladies were shocked after hearing this.

They would not know that Sheng Minghui would be this shameless, stealing someone else’s fiancé and blaming everything on the victim?

Soon, the news about Sheng Minglan screwing around was spread among the guests.

The guests seemed to be able to understand now the reason for the sudden change of bride-to-be. It did not have to be Sheng Minghui’s fault, it might be possibly Sheng Minglan’s fault.

The gossip about Sheng Minghui was finally reduced. Because now they had changed their subject, Sheng Minglan.

Sheng Minghui did not bother at all when the people had misunderstood Sheng Minglan. It was her big day today, what’s wrong with letting Sheng Minglan be the scapegoat today?

However, the Shen family was very angry, especially Huang Yu, after hearing this. “I am really impressed with Sheng Minghui’s ability to lie.”

Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao grimly. “This trash, she can still badmouth Fourth Sister at this time. She isn’t afraid of things going wrong.”

“Let her be.” Sheng Xiao was already waiting eagerly for the drama to start.

“But the reputation of the Sheng family…”

“Is there any reputation left after she did such a thing?” Sheng Xiao did not care about it at all. Since Seventh Sister dared to do it, then she should pay the price. There was not such a good thing that she would get all the benefits.

“We shall wait for Fourth Sister.” Mu Qiqi held Sheng Xiao’s hand and said, “Human words can be deadly. I believe that these people’s words are enough to drown Fourth Sister later. How cruel Seventh Sister is, trying to drive Fourth Sister off the cliff. Does Grandpa Sheng know about this?”

“I don’t think so.” Sheng Xiao pointed at Granpa Sheng with his chin. He was still happily entertaining the guests.

“When will Fourth Sister come?”

She couldn’t wait already!
