It would not turn out to be a disaster, would it?
“Sis Yalin, Uncle Nangong treats Sis Qianqian quite well.”
“Hehe, the noble little princess of the Nangong family can’t even afford a mere 70 million gown, and she demands that the groom’s family pay for it. She clearly knows that the groom’s family is in a financial crisis that they have to borrow money just to hold the wedding, yet she didn’t even say a word. Lil Sis Huang, this sister-in-law of yours might not be capable of bringing you guys to greater heights as you expect! I suggest that you guys give the Nangong family a call first! After all, the guests are already here. If the Nangong family doesn’t come by then, that will be very embarrassing.”
After saying that, Shi Yalin did not bother talking to Zhong Qianqian anymore. She turned around and left, leaving a figure that was as proud as a peacock.
Zhong Qianqian was shaking with anger.
“Sis Qianqian, you should rest here for a while. I’ll check in on Sis Yalin. Don’t be too angry, okay? I heard that the relationship between the Shi family and the Nangong family is rather delicate recently, so she probably dissed you because she wants to provoke the Nangong family.”
Huang Yuhan then rushed out after Shi Yalin.
In truth, Huang Yuhan went to look for her mother instead.
Honestly, although the familial ties in the upper-class society were mostly indifferent, the Nangong family’s intentions were dangerously ambiguous. This not only made Huang Yuhan feel uneasy, but it also made the Huang family feel uneasy.
However, the Gu family had indeed benefited quite a bit from the Nangong family while the Nangong family had not mentioned anything about the Gu family profiting under their banner.
Therefore, things seemed to appear more and more uncertain to Huang Yuhan and she quickly went to her mother.
Although Zhong Qianqian and Jiang Shuwan took comfort in Huang Yuhan’s words, they still felt uneasy. Realizing that even the bridesmaids fell silent after a whole day of flattering and gaining Zhong Qianqian’s favors, Zhong Qianqian felt a looming sense of unease.
After a while, Mrs. Gu came up, followed by Gu Mingyan and Huang Yuhan.
“Qianqian, it’s already 12pm. Almost all the guests are here. Even the Ning, Xiao, and Shi families are here. Why don’t you call your uncle and ask him the time of their arrival?” Mrs. Gu’s eyes were filled with panic.
Upon hearing that three out of the four major families had already arrived, leaving the Nangong family being the only one absent, Zhong Qianqian’s blood froze.
They were not here yet?
Why were they not here yet?
The other three families among the Four Dominant Families had already arrived. Why was the Nangong family not here yet?
Did they find out that she was an imposter?
Or could it be that… the Nangong family had no intentions of acknowledging her at all?
Impossible, right…?
She received the DNA test report from the last time too. The test conducted by the Nangong family proved that they were related by blood!
“Qianqian, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call your uncle!”
“Oh… okay.”
Zhong Qianqian’s body was frozen and her scalp was numb.
This was her grand wedding. Nothing must go wrong!
As Zhong Nuannuan dialed Nangong Qin’s number, she prayed in her heart.
“Put it on loudspeaker, so that Mommy can hear what’s going on too.”
Zhong Qianqian bit her lower lip and turned on the loudspeaker.
The phone rang for a long time and nobody picked up. Zhong Qianqian was so scared that it felt like her blood was starting to flow backward. She stood there, stunned.
After ringing for a minute, the sound that signified it was an unanswered call blared. Everyone’s expression darkened instantly.
“What’s going on? Call him again!”
Even Gu Mingyan—Selina’s biological mother—who was always known for her patience and gentle temperament, spoke in an authoritative tone.
