The hall was packed with guests, and the auspicious hour had arrived.
The banquet hall lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only a single spotlight trained on the center of the stage.
Amid melodious music, a lovely figure slowly walked onto the stage.
Under the spotlight, her figure was graceful, her presence radiant.
"It's Wei Zijin!" someone among the Jiang University classmates called out.
She kept her opening remarks brief, because the most important ceremonies had already been completed at home. What mattered here today was the grand banquet.
"Now, let's give our warmest applause to the chairman of Chengyu Investment Group, who is also the groom's father, Mr. Liu Chengde, and welcome him to the stage for a speech!"
Thunderous applause erupted.
Liu Xinyu's father walked onto the stage looking vigorous, his complexion ruddy, his steps steady, and his back perfectly straight.
A huge question mark instantly rose in Wang Xiaoliang's mind.
He looked nothing like someone terminally ill with little time left.
It seemed the saying that happy occasions lifted the spirits really was true.
Standing at the center of the stage, Liu Chengde represented both the direction of Liu Xinyu's career and the head of the Liu family.
He cleared his throat and swept his gaze over the room before finally resting it on Yang Qingyu's face, his eyes full of smiles.
"Today is the happy wedding day of my son, Liu Xinyu, and my daughter-in-law, Yang Qingyu. First, on behalf of our entire family, I want to thank all our friends and relatives for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend their wedding."
He paused, then continued.
"This son of mine used to be immature. He took after me in that respect, always fooling around when he was young. But now he's grown mature and steady.
