"Wen Ai!" Only now did Xin Zemin spoke up when he saw the serious expression on Wen Ai's face while she held the gun pointing at his mother's head. "There is no need to go this far."
"But it's your mother who is trying to become the villain in my love story, what can I do about that?" Wen Ai had such an aggrieved expression on her face that even Xin Zimen had to applaud her for that. If he didn't know her well, he'd also fall for it as everyone else did. "I repeatedly asked her to allow me to marry Ah-Xin. But she kept on refusing. What have I done wrong? She is the one who pushed me to take this step today."
People found her nonsense so heart touching that several voices rose up saying...
"Aiyo, if Young Miss Wen and Second Young Master Xin love each other then there is nothing wrong with them getting married."
"Exactly! And who doesn't know how virtuous our Young Miss Wen is? Who wouldn't want a daughter-in-law like her?"
"Madam Xin, don't refuse God's will. This is a blessing for the Xin Clan."
When more and more voices came up, Mother Xin was flustered but she didn't back off as she stared down her son and said, "If you move, forget about being my son."
Wen Ai laughed at her words saying, "Oh my! So, Ah-Xin is really your son? And here I had the misconception that he had been adopted."
"Wen Ai! Don't go far!" Father Xin also joined the conversation if one could call it that.
Wen Ai shrugged her shoulders and said, "I've already gone far." Saying that she snapped her fingers and several armed men gathered around the hall. The main target of their guns had been the Xin family as Wen Ai smiled sweetly and said, "Now, my dearest mother-in-law, would you like to give your son's hand in my hand on your own or should I cut off your hand that's stopping him? I don't mind either."
Mother Xin was so agitated that she almost felt like puking blood. Thinking of something, she clutched her heart and started feigning the pain. Slowly, she dropped on the floor like a dead fish.
Zhao Huan, Xin Zemin, Father Xin, and even Xin Suyin ran up to her with worry. Meanwhile, Wen Ai sighed saying, "Why is she so dramatic at this age?"
"Call an ambulance!" shouted Father Xin.
The doors of the hall closed at Wen Ai's signal as she said, "No one is walking out of here until you all give me and my husband blessings."
"Wen Ai! Mother can die here," reminded Xin Zemin which made Wen Ai snort in contempt.
"Even better. I never liked to deal with her."
Xin Zimen couldn't hold back his laughter at this remark and his brother stared at him. "Xiao Zi, how can you just stand there? Won't you say anything to persuade her? It's our mother, damn it!"
As he said that, as if to prove his words right, Wen Ai moved up and pinched Mother Xin's waist harshly making the middle-aged lady scream in pain.
"Oh, look at this miracle! I even have the power of resurrecting people now. How amazing!"
Xin Zimen had a fond smile on his face when he heard her words. Wen Ai loved to say whatever came to her mind. She was a person with no filter and everyone knew it already.
When Mother Xin sat up in embarrassment, she glared at Wen Ai but then turned to her son saying, "I always knew you'd never be filial. You always coveted your brother's position. It is all the more clear now."
While Xin Zimen's face showed his disappointment slightly, Wen Ai perceived it very well and spoke up, "What position? Merely being the Head of Xin Clan? How laughable!" Wen Ai crouched down beside Mother Xin and added, "Madam Xin. are you really that forgetful or just pretending to be? How can you not recall that I'm willing to offer him my whole world, why should he care about such an unimportant title?"
Mother Xin's expressions twisted.
"Wen Ai, you..." Zhao Huan was looking really furious at Wen Ai. Not because of her intention of marrying Xin Zimen, but because of how she chose this day to achieve her goal.
Wen Ai placed her hands together and bowed her head before her saying, "You're the only person I'm sorry to right now, Sister Huan. But trust me, I had to do it."
Zhao Huan had no words to say to her, so she turned and sat down in the guests. Looking at her, Wen Ai gave a small smile.
"Madam Xin, if you're done with your theatricals, please take your seat. I'm a little eager to get married."
As she extended her hand towards Xin Zimen, Mother Xin said to her son, "Is this how much you respect me? Is this the respect you claimed to have for me? She said so many things to your mother and you didn't even stop her once!"
Xin Zimen held Wen Ai's hand without any hesitation as he said, "What can I say, maybe I just love it when she talks. Who cares what she is talking about?"
And just like that, the wedding of Xin Zemin and Zhao Huan turned into a grand gossip of Xin Zimen and Wen Ai's wedding. It won't be wrong saying that Wen Ai really stole the limelight from Zhao Huan on her wedding day. Her presence was already enough to catch more attention than the bride and groom but then she went on to create that huge scene as well.
Why wouldn't Zhao Huan hate Wen Ai? The only satisfaction she had after all these years was the fact that she got to see Mother Xin's total defeat before so many people. Since Mother Xin cared most about her face, that's exactly what Wen Ai blatantly tore away!
