Chapter 421: The Utterly Chaotic Engagement Banquet

Chapter 421: The Utterly Chaotic Engagement Banquet

Everyone present watched the couple on stage with their own thoughts.

Finally, the ring exchange went off without a hitch. The host picked up the microphone to celebrate the couple's joyous union, "Alright, today is the joyous day of Young Master Xuanyuan and Miss Yi. Let's take a look back at the love story of the newlyweds and watch their romantic montage."

Yi Yanran, holding her skirt and arm in arm with Xuanyuan Xun, walked off the stage. The so-called romantic montage was just something quickly filmed just days ago to meet the occasion, and she herself found it utterly cringe-worthy. So, as soon as she stepped off the stage, she picked up her phone and started scrolling through Weibo.

The crowd, however, was very interested, as everyone wanted to know how Yi Yanran could have fallen for a fool like Xuanyuan Xun.

Soon, the big screen lit up, and after a brief introduction, the video began to play.

But what appeared was not a romantic montage; it was clear surveillance footage.

The surveillance footage was taken in the kitchen of the Xuanyuan family, where the servants were busily preparing breakfast, and Li Moran appeared on screen.

Upon seeing the footage, Li Moran's face instantly turned pale. She jumped up in shock and yelled, "What's going on? Turn it off! Turn it off!"

The hotel staff hurried to unplug the device, but even after doing so, the video continued to play.

The surveillance footage continued, and soon it showed Li Moran asking the servant which glass of milk was prepared for Xuanyuan Ming.

Then, she seemingly casually picked up the milk to test its temperature, but at that moment, she surreptitiously slipped a pill into it with her fingers.

The servant didn't notice Li Moran's action and simply heated the milk before bringing it to the dining table...

Next, the footage showed the conversation between Xuanyuan Ming and Li Moran at the dining table. After Xuanyuan Ming drank the milk and fainted, Li Moran calmly tore up the divorce agreement while sitting alone at the table. Then, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she threw the milk glass into the trash, destroying the evidence...

The screen froze at this point, and the room erupted in chaos.

My God... what had they just seen?

Wasn't it said that Xuanyuan Ming fell ill because of Yi Jue? How could it be that Li Moran poisoned Xuanyuan Ming?

This was attempted murder of her husband!

Was it because Xuanyuan Ming wanted to divorce Li Moran, and she refused, so she decided to kill him?

Oh my God, this is illegal!

Li Moran, hearing the surrounding people's discussions and pointing fingers, felt a chill run through her body and started trembling uncontrollably.

No!

This shouldn't be happening!

She clenched her fists and shouted at the crowd, "No! This is all fake! The video is fake!"

She then turned her fierce gaze towards Xuanyuan Ming in the wheelchair, "It's you! Why are you forcing me like this?"

Xuanyuan Ming snorted coldly, "Li Moran, I gave you countless chances. If you had just signed the divorce papers properly back then, or even when I was bedridden, if you had just let it go, I wouldn't have had to expose your crimes to the public! I told you, if you had just stepped back gracefully, I wouldn't have treated you unfairly. But what about you?"

Li Moran stared at Xuanyuan Ming with bloodshot eyes, unable to stop her cold laughter.

"Step back gracefully? You want to divorce me and still expect me to obediently follow your lead?"

Li Moran pointed at Yi Jue, "For this bastard? You just want to hand over everything of the Xuanyuan family to this bastard with your and Yi Qinglan's tainted bloodline!"

"Shut up! I won't allow you to slander Qinglan!" Xuanyuan Ming angrily rebuked.

They actually brought up Yi Qinglan, a name that's taboo in the aristocratic circles of Nancheng!

The onlookers held their breath, sensing that a major scandal was about to break.

True to form, Li Moran let out a hearty laugh and declared, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will reveal Yi Jue's true parentage? Well, I am determined to make this public!"

In the next moment, Li Moran directly took out a paternity test from her bag.

"See this? This is the true identity of Yi Qinglan. She isn't the noble daughter of the Yi family at all, but the illegitimate child of Madam Yi and the former head of the Xuanyuan family! Yi Qinglan and Xuanyuan Ming are actually half-siblings, and Yi Jue is the filthy product of their incest!"

What on earth?!

The onlookers were nearly knocked off their feet in shock. They knew there would be a scandal, but they never expected it to be such a shocking one!

Everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between Xuanyuan Xun, Li Moran, and Yi Jue.

Incest?

Oh my god!

They had believed the romantic rumors between Madam Yi and the former head of the Xuanyuan family were just gossip, but it turned out to be true.

"Back then, the Yi family's former head prevented Yi Qinglan from marrying you, even going so far as to announce to the outside world that his daughter had died, just to separate you two and prevent this improper relationship! But who would have thought that Yi Qinglan would be so shameless as to secretly give birth to your illegitimate child! Xuanyuan Ming, you're nothing but a hypocrite!"

Xuanyuan Ming was initially extremely angry, but gradually calmed down. He stared at Li Moran and said, "With just a dubious paternity test, you aim to slander me and Qinglan?"

"I not only have physical evidence, but also a witness! Yi Hou!"

Yi Hou, attempting to blend into the crowd, was called out by Li Moran, too intimidated to show his anger.

He was extremely unwilling to get involved in the events of twenty-seven years ago, but he never expected that this crazy woman, Li Moran, would be so unyielding and bring it up in public.

But things had reached this point, and he had been tied to Li Moran's boat since twenty-seven years ago, so he had no choice but to testify for her.

Yi Hou took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, this paternity test, my father also knew about it, which is why he secretly sent Qinglan away."

The room erupted in chaos.

This was irrefutable proof!

Everyone's gaze towards Yi Jue became indescribably complex.

But Yi Jue just coldly curled his lips, his expression inscrutable.

Yun Mu, standing beside him, sneered, "A witness? I think he's your lover, right? Twenty-seven years ago, Yi Hou was your lover. Can his words be trusted?"

Amazing!

Another big scandal!

Madam Yi, standing nearby, immediately changed her expression, glanced at Yi Hou, covered her face, and ran away.

Yi Hou's face also turned pale.

But Li Moran was already fearless and glared coldly at Yun Mu, "So what if he was? Who doesn't have a past? This is a family matter of the Xuanyuan family. You, the head of the Yun family, haven't married Yi Jue yet, so you have no right to speak here!"

"You bully my people, and I can't even speak?" Yun Mu snorted, "What kind of logic is that?"

Her people?

Standing behind Yun Mu, Yi Jue's lips curled slightly.

The comfort of having someone in his corner had finally returned.
