Chapter 206
On Sunday, Yang June arrived early at The Shen Family mansion.
As Cheng Lydia’s only maiden relative, it was only natural that she should be there early.
Yang June hugged Isaac and pointed at Cheng Lydia who was already made up in front of the dressing mirror and said milkily, “Isaac, do you see how pretty mommy is?”
“Beautiful, mommy is so beautiful!” Isaac cheered for a kiss from his mommy.
Yang June hugged him back and smiled, “No way, only Daddy can kiss Mommy today.”
“Why?” Isaac was upset.
“Because today Mommy is Daddy’s bride.”
“So when is mommy going to be my bride?” The little one asked in a serious manner, causing the stylists to crack up laughing.
Cheng Lydia smiled as she scooped Isaac up on her lap and pointed to her made-up cheek, “So how about a kiss from the little one?”
“Good.” Isaac gave his mom a good kiss on the cheek and smiled, “Mommy smells so good.”
Yang June drew a tissue and wiped his lips, “Be a good boy, go out with Auntie Zhu Zhu.”
After Amy carried Isaac away, Yang June surveyed the wedding dress and headpiece on Cheng Lydia and couldn’t help but praise, “Brother-in-law has a good eye, the wedding dress looks even better on the body than it did when it was hanging on the hanger.”
“Really?” Cheng Lydia asked gleefully.
“Of course it’s true.”
Cheng Lydia looked regretful, “Too bad you’re already married or I would have made you my maid of honor, the bride and bridesmaid look almost identical, it would have been a great scene.”
“When we were kids we agreed that whoever got married first the other one would be given away as a bridesmaid, but unfortunately fate has a way of getting in the way.” Yang June smiled, “But it’s okay, even though I didn’t get to be my sister’s bridesmaid, I was content to be around at least.”
“I’m content, too.” Cheng Lydia took her hand in hers and the sisters looked at each other and smiled.
The wedding ceremony begins.
To the soothing and solemn wedding march, Yang June walked up the aisle holding Cheng Lydia’s hand and walked slowly towards Shen Ron in front of her.
She handed Cheng Lydia into Shen Ron’s hands and smiled lightly at him, “Today I am officially handing my sister over to you, if you dare to let her suffer even a little in the future, I will not spare you.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let her be aggravated.” Shen Ron gave her a grateful smile, “And thank you, June.”
“If you truly want to thank me, then love her well.”
“Definitely.”
“Go ahead.” Yang June gestured with her jaw to the stage where the ceremony was being held.
Off stage, Ho Sasha surveyed the two sisters with similar faces on the red carpet and asked Ho Cecil in a low voice, “Dad, who the hell is that Yang June? How come she looks so much like The Shen Family young lady?”
“Supposedly they’re biological sisters, the daughters of the former ex-president of The Yang Family Group.”
“The Yang Family Group? Wang Boyce’s company?” Sasha Ho was surprised.
“Wang Boyce?” Ho Cecil snorted disdainfully, “You think he owns The Yang Family? The truth is that his father became the president of The Yang Family in name only after he and Mrs. Yang got together, and when his father died, he rightfully inherited his father’s business and took The Yang Family for himself.”
“No wonder he had to marry a disfigured woman, it turns out he was trying to hold on to The Yang Family group.”
“So yeah, what do you like about a guy like that? And you’re hell bent on marrying him.” Ho Cecil twisted his head and glanced across at his baby daughter with a look of hatred.
He Sasha gave him a stern look and said delicately, “Dad, didn’t I tell you that I like Wang Boyce as a person and don’t care how his company came to be, even if he doesn’t have a company, I still like it.”
She was attracted by Wang Boyce’s good looks and talent when she met him abroad back then, and then pursued him for several years without success.
When she was an international star, she was surrounded by men and had never been rejected by men.
The more Wang Boyce doesn’t care about her, the more she becomes obsessed with him and even wants to marry him with a single mind.
She didn’t care if he had money or not, after all, Ho Cecil only had one daughter, The Ho Family was hers sooner or later, she didn’t even need to marry a rich man.
Six months ago, she used some unorthodox tactics to get him into bed and became his woman. Wang Boyce agreed, but spent the rest of the six months treating her like a stranger, until Yang June showed up, and he just threw her a line of ‘I don’t feel anything for her’ and walked away.
How could she be happy with the way Wang Boyce treated her?
When it was time for the party, Cheng Lydia and Shen Ron, who had changed into their dresses, started dancing to beautiful music, and gradually, more and more men and women were dancing together inside the dance floor.
Sasha Ho found Wang Boyce, who was surrounded by several girls chatting and laughing, and smilingly handed him her jade hand, saying softly, “Mr. Wang, let’s dance together?”
Wang Boyce swept a glance around at the beautiful women who hated and envied him, raising his hand to squeeze Sasha’s jade hand as he rose gracefully. With a beautiful twirl, the two glided onto the dance floor embracing each other.
After sending Cheng Lydia down the aisle, Yang June didn’t have much else to do – after all, Cheng Lydia was the star of the show today and there was no way to accompany her.
With nothing else to do, she took Isaac to a corner of the banquet hall for a snack and shortly after sitting down she heard a few murmurs from around the room, “Didn’t Sasha and Wang Boyce break up? Why are they making up again?”
“I heard that Wang Boyce’s new wife is disfigured. How can a man as good as him be willing to spend his days with a disfigured woman?”
“That’s right, Sasha is so pretty and an international star, no man would want to break up with him.”
“…”
Yang June looked at the two men on the dance floor, intimately embracing and laughing, and listened to the chatter of the women next to her. Her small hand unconsciously brushed up to the corner of her forehead, fiddling with the bangs on top.
She had never liked bangs since she was a child, and she had started wearing them since her disfigurement, afraid that people would see her scars and laugh at her and talk about her like they did now.
On the dance floor, Wang Boyce embraces Sasha with a charming smile.
Looking at the elegant and handsome man in front of her, Sasha once again vowed in her heart that she would marry him and be his wife.
It was her dream, a dream that no one could change.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Wang Boyce asked with a light smile.
“Because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.” He Sha Sha smiled slightly and climbed her slender arm around his neck, “People are being pushed by their father to find a boyfriend to marry these days, so much so that they are afraid to return home.”
“Uncle is also hoping you’ll find a good home soon.”
“Not at all, he says he’s getting old and the company can’t afford to be without someone to take care of it, and wants to find a brilliant continuer.”
“Uncle is indeed getting older, it’s natural for him to be overwhelmed with work.” Wang Boyce smiled, “If you meet the right one, marry him, just as a way to help Uncle share the load.”
“You know full well that I’ve never liked a man but you all these years.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“But I’m married.”
“But I’ll wait for you.”
“Waiting for what? Waiting for me to get a divorce?”
“Right.”
“It’s impossible.” Wang Boyce shook his head slightly and stared at her for a moment in hesitation before he said with a serious look on his face, “I’ve known Yang June for over ten years and I’ve loved her for over ten years, and in between there’s been loss and parting, a parting of life and death. I feel like I won’t be able to live after losing her, I can’t live without her.”
For the past three years, he’d thought she was dead and was in so much pain he’d practically lived on insomnia pills.
“I’m sorry Sasha, you’ll find a better one than me.” Just as the song ended, Wang Boyce released her and gave her a small smile before turning and striding outside the dance floor.
Staring at his departing back, He Sha Sha mentally gnashed her teeth with hatred.
Sara Ho is an international star and naturally the brightest figure in the wedding besides the bride and groom, and her every move is extremely noticeable.
Cheng Lydia, who naturally saw her dancing with Wang Boyce in her arms, instinctively began searching for Yang June, eventually spotting a glum-looking her in the corner.
Cheng Lydia walked over and after dismissing Isaac to Amy, she took Yang June’s arm and smiled, “Come on, I’ll take you to meet some relatives.”
“It’s not good, Sis …” Yang June was taken by the arm as she headed inside the crowd, a momentary rush of emotion.
Most of the people who came were relatives and friends of The Shen Family, so what did she have to meet?
Cheng Lydia brought her to a young man and introduced her with a smile, “June, this is An Shao, the future successor of the An Group, An Shao, and this is my own sister, Yang June.”
Just now during the toast, An Chen asked her about Yang June with a curious face, and she sensed that An Chen was quite interested in Yang June.
“Hello Ms. Yang.” An Chen smiled and extended his hand at Yang June as if the two were really meeting for the first time.
Yang June scowled at him with a kind smile and thought to herself what does this guy want again?
But no matter what he wanted, since he had already politely extended his hand, she naturally couldn’t ignore him.
“Hello, An Shao.” Yang June reached out her small hand to interlock with his.
An Chen held her hand but didn’t let go of it for a long time, still smiling with a kind face and said, “Ms. Yang, can I ask you to dance?”
Dancing? With him?
Yang June had that moment of hesitation.
“What? Afraid I’ll eat you?” An Chen raised an eyebrow at her.
Yang June thinks about how Wang Boyce and Sasha just danced intimately and passionately and thinks to herself that he doesn’t even care about his feelings, so why should she care about him?
“How come? It’s not like this is some kind of fireworks place.” Yang June smiled and handed her the other hand.
Her fingers had just touched An Chen’s palm when she was suddenly snapped by something and pulled to the side, followed by her body falling into another person’s embrace.
Yang June froze for a moment and looked up, which revealed that it was Wang Boyce.
Wang Boyce’s slender arm clasped tightly around Yang June’s waist, gazing at An Chen with a false smile, “Young An, it’s been a long time.”
So intensely possessive, Cheng Lydia snickered aside and turned away.
An Chen withdrew his fallen palm with some embarrassment and greeted Wang Boyce, “Long time no see.”
“Honey, let’s go dance.” Wang Boyce turned to Yang June with a gentle smile.
Yang June was in a trance since she looked at him and was not even aware of being led by Wang Boyce to the dance floor.
Half a song passed before she snapped out of that dream-like feeling and looked up at him.
“From now on, if you want to dance, come straight to me, no dancing with other men remember?”
“But you just danced with Sasha, too.”
“Yang June, are you sure you want to talk back to me here?” Wang Boyce said in blackface.
Yang June knew his temper, there was no telling what he would do if he pissed him off, and although she was upset, she held her tongue.
After exiting the party venue, Judy volunteered to give Sasha a ride home.
Ho Cecil knows that Judy is deeply infatuated with his daughter, who can’t even see him enough to have something with him, so he doesn’t stop Judy from sending his daughter back to her apartment.
Besides, Judy knows his Ho Cecil’s personality and wouldn’t dare mess with his baby girl if he had ten guts.
And on the other hand, he forgot one thing, Judy and Sasha were both a little drunk, and Sasha had just been badly hurt by Wang Boyce, and was depressed and fantasizing about how to get back at him.
When Judy offered to go up and sit down, Sasha actually agreed.
When she got home, Sasha sat down on the sofa and complained with tears in her eyes, “I’ve known him and loved him for years, how could he do this to me? What’s so great about that ugly woman? Why does he like her so much?”
After listening to her father, she also thought that Wang Boyce married Yang June to get The Yang Family. that’s why she reminded him very bluntly during the dance that sooner or later, The Ho Family would be his Wang Boyce’s once he married her, Sasha Ho.
Compared to The Yang Family, The Ho Family has much more assets and scale, there are many big conglomerates who want to marry her, Sara Ho, yet Wang Boyce is so disdainful?
Judy handed her a glass of water and said soothingly with a smile, “Don’t be sad, that Wang Boyce is not a famous son either, it is said that he had to work on his own to earn tuition when he was studying abroad, those rich gentry in the circle at that time looked down on him.”
“All those gentry who looked down on him are now eager to pull strings and build friendships with him, aren’t they?” Sasha took a sip from her cup of plain water and said bitterly.
“That’s also for his status as president of The Yang Family.”
“What is The Yang Family? I’ll have my father exterminate it tomorrow!”
“Honey, don’t talk nonsense.” Judy laughed and patted her head, “The Yang Family is not as bad as you think, their performance has skyrocketed in the past few years, and they have already entered the international market long ago. Besides, even if your father wants to suppress The Yang Family, don’t forget that The Shen Family’s new young lady is Yang June’s sister, and The Yang Family is also her mother’s family. By the time her pillow talk blows, and Shen Ron and Wang Boyce join forces, it may not be The Yang Family that ends up dying, but your father’s company.”
“No wonder he doesn’t want my father’s company.” Sasha took another sip from her cup of plain water and whimpered, “But I just like him, what can I do?”
“Sleep on it for a while, don’t think about anything, and nurse yourself back to health. When Wang Boyce gets tired of that Yang June, he’ll naturally turn back.” Judy glanced at the plain water in her cup and smiled wryly, “The Ho Family that Wang Boyce doesn’t want, he does.”
“Aren’t I pretty now?” Sasha licked her dry, bashful lips and stared at him with an unhappy expression.
Judy nodded, “Beautiful, beautiful.”
Sasha raised a hand and ran it through her hair, a little annoyed, “Why is it so hot? Go open the window for me.”
“Good.” Judy thoughtfully got up and went to open the door and window.
Sasha got up and headed for the bedroom, dropping a comment in the process, “Lock the door for me on the way back, by the way.”
Judy continued to respond in a good manner, but did not leave.
Sasha only felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, even cold water couldn’t flush away the heat, they say that red wine has a strong aftertaste, is it because of red wine?
She shook her head off, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, pulling the bathroom door open.
Judy’s figure caught her eye, and she was stunned, then flung herself into his arms.
How much she needed a man at this moment.
She no longer cared who the other woman was, and her sanity was burned away by the layer of bashful heat inside her. Her slender arms clung to him, kissing him like a hungry, hungry wolf.
That was the move she used to take Wang Boyce down back then, only she took his body, but not his heart.
She would never have thought in any way that such a thing would fall to her, was this retribution?
