Chapter 0515

Both brides were veiled, waiting for their husbands to give the answer.

Lin Ran, sitting below the stage, pinched his chin. "What if they guess wrong?"

Luo Yao: "They won't. I can tell them apart."

Lin Ran: ???

"Wait, how can you tell?"

Luo Yao pointed at the one with the more impressive figure. "That one is Zhang Xinyan."

Lin Ran suddenly understood. "Oh, I see!"

Suddenly, Luo Yao's gaze towards Lin Ran turned icy.

"A-Ran appreciates that too, huh?"

Huh?

"No, who said I appreciate it? I'm just amazed at my wife's keen observation skills."

On stage, Wu Zhishang also pointed out Zhang Xinyan without any hesitation, looking proudly at Shen Jingbing—a blatant show of dominance.

Shen Jingbing gave a disdainful smile. "Although I was a bit slower than you, my wife is prettier."

The line made the audience below burst into laughter.

Next came the wedding ceremonies for both couples. The fathers of the two brides walked onto the stage, took their daughters' hands, and placed them in the grooms' hands.

Then, the two newlywed couples served tea to the groom's parents, following the traditional Chinese wedding customs.

Watching the couples on stage, Lin Ran sighed.

Luo Yao leaned her head close to his face. "Why did A-Ran sigh?"

Lin Ran said wistfully, "I was thinking that Old Wu and Zhang Xinyan met so much later than us, yet they're getting married first. I've lost this round to him."

"We have our marriage certificate too, and it's earlier than theirs," Luo Yao explained.

Lin Ran shook his head. "In our country, some people get the certificate before the wedding, some after, but the marriage is generally counted from the wedding day. Like the wedding anniversary, for example."

Luo Yao tilted her head and thought about it; that seemed to make sense.

"A-Ran, don't be sad. I'll have someone ruin their wedding, then we can get married first."

Lin Ran was instantly stunned.

"No, this... let's forget it. Let's spare him. Although his wedding is earlier than mine, his wife isn't as beautiful as mine. My wife is the most beautiful in the world."

Lin Ran's coaxing made Luo Yao even happier, and she nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to A-Ran."

Lin Ran said she was the most beautiful!

But just because Luo Yao wouldn't cause trouble didn't mean others wouldn't.

Just as Zhang Xinyan was about to serve tea to Wu Zhishang's parents...

"Wait!"

A sudden, loud shout rang out, and a woman rushed in.

"Wu Zhishang, you can't marry her. You can only marry me. Come with me today, I swear I'll never leave you again..."

Lin Ran looked towards the source of the voice and cursed under his breath, "Damn! What bad luck."

Wu Zhishang was also taken aback for a moment. After recognizing the person, his face darkened.

The person was none other than Zhao Miaomiao.

The venue instantly erupted.

"Whoa, is this woman here to crash the wedding? Am I understanding this right?"

"I just came to attend a wedding, never thought I'd witness such a dramatic scene live. This gift money was totally worth it."

"I know this woman. She's Wu Zhishang's ex-girlfriend, Zhao Miaomiao. Rumor has it she's a 'bad girl' (bad girl: here means a 'cheater' or 'disloyal woman'); she was ambiguous with her male best friend while dating Wu Zhishang."

Whispers arose from every corner of the banquet hall, instantly making Wu Zhishang the center of gossip.

Zhang Xinyan hadn't expected such a dramatic confrontation either. She turned to look at Wu Zhishang, who tightened his grip on her hand.

Zhang Xinyan immediately relaxed.

She thought Wu Zhishang was telling her, "Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."

What Wu Zhishang actually meant was, "Hold on tight, don't charge out and fight her. It wouldn't look good."

"Zhishang, come back to me. That woman only loves your money. I'm the one who truly loves you."

Wu Zhishang snorted with contempt, looking down at Zhao Miaomiao.

"You! If you're here for the wedding, I might let you squat in a corner for a peek and give you some leftovers after the banquet starts. But if you're here to cause trouble, then I'll have no choice but to have you thrown out."

"And if you dare say one more bad word about my wife, I'll slap you so hard you won't remember which way you came from."

With just these few sentences, Zhao Miaomiao's character was already being dissected among the guests, and the discussions grew even louder.

Zhao Miaomiao's tears needed no buildup; they fell on command, a truly pitiful sight for any onlooker.

Lin Ran had seen enough. He signaled to Abu with his eyes, "Don't let her..."

Before Lin Ran could finish, a figure rushed out—not Wu Zhishang, but Shen Jingbing.

"Ah... finally someone asking for a beating."

He ran over and kicked Zhao Miaomiao flying, then turned back and instructed, "You guys continue with the toast. I'll help Boss Wu deal with this cheater."

No matter how much Shen Jingbing and Wu Zhishang messed with each other, it was normal between them. But if someone came to cause trouble for his bro, he had to stand up for him.

All the guests were dumbfounded.

"What just rushed out? Was that the other groom?"

"Probably... yes? But why did he rush out when she came for Wu Zhishang?"

"This is one chaotic wedding."

However, as Zhao Miaomiao was dragged away by Shen Jingbing and security, the wedding returned to normal.

Zhang Xinyan's parents looked somewhat displeased, but after a brief explanation and a bit of acting cute from Zhang Xinyan, they smiled again.

Zhang Xinyan continued serving tea and changing how she addressed Wu Zhishang's parents, formally calling them 'Mom' and 'Dad'...

Lin Ran thought for a moment and instructed Abu, "Shen Jingbing won't be enough to scare that woman. You go handle it. Make sure Zhao Miaomiao never dares to show up again."

Abu nodded and left.

After the interlude, Shen Jingbing returned, clapping his hands. The entire wedding proceeded very "smoothly" thereafter.

After the ceremonies concluded, the two grooms carried their brides around the venue once, showing off their strength.

Wu Zhishang and Zhang Xinyan's parents also came to their seats and greeted Lin Ran when they saw him.

Especially Wu's mother. She had only seen Luo Yao online; this was her first time in real life.

She had known Lin Ran for many years; Lin Ran had eaten countless meals at the Wu family home.

Seeing Lin Ran with such a beautiful wife, she was so happy she couldn't close her mouth.

"You must be Yao Yao. You're even more beautiful in person than on screen. Our Xiao Ran is truly blessed to have married you," said Wu's mother, a straightforward woman who spoke her mind.

Luo Yao nodded. "Being able to marry A-Ran is my luck."

Seeing the young couple so deeply in love, Wu's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been a little worried before that Lin Ran was being kept by Luo Yao. However, after seeing many news stories about Lin Ran and Luo Yao over the past six months, she had slowly become a fan of their relationship, getting more and more into it.

Now, having confirmed it with her own eyes today, she felt even more at ease.

At that moment, Wu Zhishang finally arrived with Zhang Xinyan.

"Brother Lin, Sister-in-law."
