Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183

That’s just how society is these days. Although everyone knows the truth about today’s wedding, they still pretend to celebrate it amicably on the surface.

The bride is the bride today after all, and the groom is a minor leader. Naturally, the guests around them don’t dare to show any disapproval. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel[f]ire.net

"Well, I’m a bit curious. Is it forbidden to bring a male companion to this wedding?" Xiao Zheng chuckled, and asked in return.

"You can, but bringing a country bumpkin to our wedding, well, that just lowers our class," the girl said with a sneer.

At this moment, neither the groom nor the bride bothered to hide their ridicule towards Xiao Zheng. Although they didn’t directly mock Shen Jiayi, to be fair, the things they said to Xiao Zheng were indirectly mocking Shen Jiayi.

Xiao Zheng, however, was indifferent. With his current disposition, even if someone stood in front of him cursing out loud, Xiao Zheng could turn a blind eye.

But Shen Jiayi nearby couldn’t hold back any longer. Seeing them so openly mocking Xiao Zheng beside her, Shen Jiayi’s face instantly turned grim.

She didn’t care about the company’s rules anymore and directly grabbed Xiao Zheng’s wrist with a cold face, saying, "Forget it, let’s go."

The bride’s face turned even more smug, and she laughed aloud, saying, "Leaving so soon? Not staying for a bit more food?"

To everyone’s surprise, Xiao Zheng really turned back seriously, took a detailed look at the bride in front of him, nodded, and said, "Since the bride is so hospitable, it would be rude to decline. I’ll have a bit more then."

Interestingly, many people around him even echoed their agreement with his viewpoint.

Xiao Zheng found it even more amusing. Just now, he noticed at least dozens of people watching him eat and silently swallowing their saliva.

Obviously, they were hungry too.

In such a wedding setting, before the meal is served, the food prepared in the hall is originally for the guests. But now, this tradition has been completely twisted by these people.

In their view, these things are just for display. Eating and drinking in front of others would somehow lower their dignity.

But Xiao Zheng didn’t care at all, and he continued eating and drinking heartily.

"Stop eating, I’ll take you out for some food later," Shen Jiayi said to Xiao Zheng.

She didn’t believe that Xiao Zheng would embarrass her today; she just couldn’t stand seeing those around them ridiculing Xiao Zheng, which made her feel uncomfortable.

However, Xiao Zheng stubbornly waved his hand, "No rush, let’s wait a bit longer."

Shen Jiayi felt a bit strange, unable to understand what Xiao Zheng was thinking.

Just then, Xiao Zheng’s phone suddenly rang with a ding-ding sound. His face lit up slightly as he quickly took out his phone and started to scroll through it. The more he looked, the more colorful his expression became.

The minor leader also spoke at this time, "Sorry, brother, but you see, the guests around are asking you to leave."

Xiao Zheng waved his hand again and said, "No hurry, a friend just sent me something interesting to show you all."

As Xiao Zheng spoke, he took out his phone, but instead of handing it directly to the minor leader, it started circulating among the guests rapidly.

At first, everyone didn’t think much of it because it just displayed some chat screenshots. But gradually, someone noticed that one of the people in those screenshots was the very groom they were attending the wedding for, and the avatar was indeed of the minor leader.

As for the explosive content, it was some flirtatious conversations between the minor leader and other women.

And the objects of his chats were quite diverse, featuring all sorts of women.

The expressions of the guests around became increasingly ugly, and they continued to look at the groom standing beside the bride, the minor leader, with strange glances.

Their unusual expressions made the minor leader feel a bit baffled.

"What on earth are you all looking at?" the minor leader couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

By this time, Xiao Zheng had already retrieved his phone. He looked up at the minor leader and said, "Since you want to know so badly, I’ll send it to you."

After speaking, Xiao Zheng sent all those chat screenshots and some odd information to the minor leader via multimedia message.

Hearing his phone ring, the minor leader was a bit curious and asked, "How do you know my phone number?"

"Aren’t you a big shot? What’s so strange about knowing your phone number?" Xiao Zheng shrugged and replied casually.

Despite feeling satisfied with that statement, the minor leader’s smile froze on his face the moment he saw the chat screenshots sent to his phone.

He only flipped through a few of the chat screenshots before he didn’t dare to look any further.

What made the situation worse was that quite a number of guests around had seen these chat screenshots earlier, and they were whispering among themselves at this moment.

The minor leader’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly shouted, "Do you think you can slander me with such weird information? Everyone should understand how easy it is to fake a person’s identity online. This doesn’t prove anything."

As he said this, his face turned solemn, and he didn’t dare to look at the female guests around with his lascivious eyes, nor did he dare to look at Shen Jiayi.

However, his heart was in turmoil and extremely shocked, as those chat records were indeed his own, and he had never given anyone screenshots of them. How did this guy named Xiao Zheng get them?

Even though Xiao Zheng had unearthed some scandals about this minor leader, the guests around still chose to side with him.

And truth be told, since they were able to deal with the minor leader, they naturally knew some of his daily habits. This kind of thing happening to him wasn’t surprising at all; it was just some hidden things being exposed.

For these smart guests, turning a blind eye was the best way to handle it.

Even if they knew the truth, they wouldn’t openly offend this minor leader. After all, they needed to survive around him.

Avoiding unnecessary trouble is the essence of handling situations and the key to survival.
