Chapter 971 Wedding Called Off
Chapter 971 Wedding Called Off
Selina suddenly burst into tears and said to Joe, "Joe, how could you be so heartless? Don't you really want me anymore, and don't you want our child? Don't marry her, please don't get married!"
She was clearly desperate this time, which is why she mustered up the courage to rush to the wedding venue to snatch him away.
On her own, she would never have dared to provoke Qiao Siyue, but the four little treasures found her, assured her that they would protect her, and promised to take this opportunity to ruin the wedding, so she dared to go all out and gamble on this.
The four little ones watched this scene from the sidelines, shaking their heads and voicing their grievances one after another:
"See? I told you he was a total scumbag."
"You don't even want your own baby, you big jerk."
"Aunt Xiaoman absolutely cannot marry this kind of person."
Si Bao made an even more surprising remark, pointing her little finger at Qiao Siyue: "That's right, who knows how many other pitiful aunts like Aunt Selina he has outside, or how many unknown illegitimate children he has!"
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao also looked at him with disappointment.
Looking at Selina, whose face was streaked with tears, and then at her son, whose expression was cold and unrepentant, Mrs. Qiao said with a heavy heart, "Si Yue, how could you... how could you do such a thing? We thought you were just fooling around, but we never expected you to have an illegitimate child..."
She was so angry that she couldn't say anything more.
Mr. Qiao's face was also ashen. He said in a deep voice, "Si Yue, today's wedding is over. You should clean up all these messy things first. We can talk about the wedding after everything is settled!"
This practically called off the wedding.
But Qiao Siyue seemed not to hear them. He shook his head and said, "No, today is my wedding with Xiaoman. Nothing can stop us."
Then, he gestured to the officiant beside him.
"Just stamp it. From now on, Wen Xiaoman will be my wife, Qiao Siyue's wife."
Seeing that even Mr. and Mrs. Qiao couldn't stop Qiao Siyue's madness, the four little ones exchanged a glance and decided to unleash their final trump card.
Erbao pulled out two eye-catching little red notebooks from his pocket.
"Then you're going to be disappointed."
Erbao raised his chin with a hint of pride, "Because Aunt Xiaoman is married! Look, what's this? A marriage certificate, a freshly printed little booklet!"
Those two splashes of red stood out starkly in the empty church.
Qiao Siyue's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared at the two marriage certificates. For the first time, a crack appeared on his face, but it was quickly covered by a deeper gloom.
He scoffed, his tone dismissive: "Wen Xiaoman got married? How come I didn't know? When did that happen? If you're going to make up a story, at least make it believable."
Erbao had anticipated his reaction and snorted, "We just got our marriage certificate two days ago, of course you wouldn't know. It was a secret operation."
"Two days ago?" Joss asked, amused. "Where is that man? Since he's married, why doesn't he dare show his face? Why leave him here alone?"
Sibao immediately said, "Of course it's because I have very important things to do. Anyway, my Aunt Xiaoman is now taken and is someone else's legal wife, so give up on that idea and stop daydreaming."
Qiao Siyue remained unmoved: "Who knows where you little brats got these fake documents from? You think you can make me believe you with just these two red booklets? Ha, anything I, Qiao Siyue, don't acknowledge is just a piece of waste paper."
He then looked at Wen Xiaoman: "Besides, even if Wen Xiaoman is already married, I will still marry her. Today, no matter what happens, Wen Xiaoman must become my rightful wife, Qiao Siyue's wife!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiao pointed at Qiao Siyue and angrily cursed, "You...you're an absolute scoundrel!"
Mrs. Qiao was both shocked and furious. She quickly supported her husband and looked at her son, who seemed to have gone mad, and said with heartache, "Si Yue, have you gone mad? What kind of woman don't you want? Why do you have to marry her? She's already... What are you trying to do?"
She simply couldn't understand why her son, who had always been a womanizer, had become so obsessed, even to the point that he was willing to risk the fact that the other person might already be married or even break the law.
Faced with his parents' anger and questioning, Qiao Siyue calmly said, "Dad, Mom, don't interfere in my affairs. Anyway, once I've made up my mind about someone, I will never change it. I will marry no one but her."
He even directly told his parents to leave: "If you can't stand it, then go home."
After saying that, he ordered the bewildered officiant, "Continue the wedding!"
The officiant shuddered in fright. Looking at the chaotic scene before him and then at Qiao Siyue's unquestionable gaze, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
The four little ones were so angry that they turned red in the face when they saw that this guy was completely unyielding, even after they brought out their marriage certificate.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"Aunt Xiaoman is already married and has a marriage certificate. Is he trying to commit bigamy?"
How can there be such an unreasonable person!
Their prepared "trump card" didn't seem to work either. Faced with a Joe who completely disregarded the law, the little ones were at a loss for what to do.
Just then, footsteps sounded again at the church entrance.
A man in a black suit, exuding a sharp and capable aura, strode in and went straight to Qiao Siyue, his expression solemn.
The person who came was one of Qiao Sinian's trusted subordinates.
He walked in and interrupted the wedding: "Second Young Master, you've gotten yourself into big trouble."
Qiao Siyue was on the verge of extreme impatience and rage. Upon hearing this, he frowned and said in a harsh tone, "What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?"
The confidant was not afraid and took out a tablet computer, holding the screen up to Qiao Siyue's eyes.
The top of the feed is a financial news headline, with a bold and alarming title.
"The arms industry you were in charge of was raided at sea on its way to East Asia and all of its weapons were confiscated."
"The eldest young master has already taken care of it for you, but the news of your private arms dealing has already gone viral, causing the company's stock price to plummet and most of its assets to be frozen. All the shareholders and family elders are getting restless."
"The reason none of your guests came to your wedding today is because they don't want to be associated with you, Second Young Master. Everyone is in a precarious situation right now. Do you think it's appropriate for you to still hold your wedding here?"
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao also took a closer look at the news content, and their faces immediately turned pale.
“Si Yue, you…you actually dared to…” Madam Qiao’s voice trembled.
Mr. Qiao was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted angrily, "You bastard, get out of here and deal with this! Do you want to ruin our family's century-old business in your hands?"
Joss stared intently at the news on the tablet, his expression shifting constantly.
He immediately realized that this was definitely Qiao Sinian's doing.
It couldn't have happened earlier or later, but it happened precisely at the most crucial moment of his wedding, just to force him to leave.
