Chapter 4: The Bride and Groom
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mom, do you think that Fang Liu will come out alone later? That old man is paralyzed, so he definitely won’t be able to stand up. Hahaha. Wouldn’t she be embarrassed in front of so many people?” Fang Yan’s gloating voice sounded.
“Either way, she has nothing to do with our family anymore. It’s not like she’s embarrassing us. Once she’s gone, all of your father’s assets will be yours. After we take the one hundred million in betrothal money, our family will be rich.” Xu Xiu said with excitement.
“However, it does make me feel a little envious that a dimwit like her got to marry into the Mo family. Just look at the ceremony and the circumstances of this wedding. It’s even more luxurious than that of a celebrity.” Fang Yan’s expression of resentment and envy was plain to see.
“She’s marrying a paralyzed old man in his seventies. It doesn’t matter how grand the ceremony and circumstances are. She’s still going to end up being a widow.” Xu Xiu said disapprovingly.
While the two of them were chatting, a commotion broke out. “The bride and groom have arrived!”
When Fang Yan and Xu Xiu heard this, they were shocked for a moment. ‘The groom? Where did the groom come from? Could it be that the paralyzed old man had gotten up to attend the wedding?’
Everyone else also looked curiously toward the end of the red carpet.
At this moment, Fang Liu was nervous, and her body went stiff. Mo Yu, standing beside her, seemed to have noticed her reaction. He said indifferently, “What’s there to be nervous about? It’s just a wedding.”
Fang Liu then retorted, “Oh, so in your opinion, marriage is as simple as eating and drinking?”
The voices of the surrounding discussions could be heard.
“I heard that the bride is four months pregnant. What do you reckon the Mo family is thinking? Are they so eager to be a martyr?”
“Who knows? Maybe it’s because no one is willing to marry that old man, so they found a pregnant woman who is willing instead.”
“I heard that Fang Liu is a dimwit. She only started speaking at the age of eight. This whole situation is ridiculous. The Mo family doesn’t have any standards.”
Fang Liu had heard a lot of condemnation over the years, so she had become numb to it. Fang Liu’s intellect developed very late. She could only start speaking at the age of eight. Other people were already in junior high school, but she was only in primary school. She was constantly teased by people who called her names like ‘dimwit’ and ‘blockhead’ in class.
In fact, when Fang Liu was in junior high school, Fang Liu’s intellect had secretly risen to an extremely high level. Not only did she have a photographic memory, but she was also a quick learner. However, she pretended to be stupid because the Fang family had treated her poorly, and her stepmother and stepsister often abused her.
Because she was more beautiful than Fang Yan, she was almost cut on the face several times. Fang Yan would have probably abused her more if they were to find out that she also had an extremely high intellect. Fang Liu simply pretended to be stupid. She managed to lower her stepmother and stepsister’s guard and avoided a lot of schemes and abuses.
Mo Yu had investigated Fang Liu before they got married. He knew that Fang Liu had always been treated poorly and condemned by others. Initially, he was only interested in the child in Fang Liu’s womb. He did not care if Fang Liu was a dimwit or not.
However, after meeting Fang Liu, he knew that she was not just a dimwit. She had been pretending to be a fool all these years because of the poor treatment that she received from the Fang family.
The people he hired to investigate her told him that her stepmother and stepsister drugged Fang Liu. They had initially planned to let one of her pervert uncles defile her, but Fang Liu ended up sleeping with Mo Yu instead. Although Mo Yu and Fang Liu’s statuses were worlds apart, their fates were intertwined.
Mo Yu felt a trace of pity for the petite girl standing beside him. He held Fang Liu’s hand, and his tone was heavy as he said, “Since those people once looked down on you, you should let them take a good look at you now. You’re my wife, the Young Madam of the Mo family. You are nobler than all of them. You don’t have to be afraid.. You can chin up because I’m here.”
