Chapter 289: Ultimately, it was a case of being unwilling to accept defeat.
It was getting late, so Fu Huaiyi arranged for a car to take all his friends home, including his father-in-law's family.
Ye Lian held onto Lin Yuyao with reluctance, giving her many instructions, but in the end, she still had to leave.
Lin Ping didn't go with them; Fu Huaiyi arranged for someone else to take him back to school.
After he finished all his business, he returned to the bridal chamber to see Lin Yuyao.
Today is a joyous day for their family; everyone is beaming with happiness, their faces always adorned with smiles.
Until... a drunkard burst in.
"Fu Huaiyi, Fu Huaiyi...come out here."
Everyone looked at the drunken man at the door.
Who else could it be but Lu Jiangting?
Zhang Fangfang asked, "Are you a friend of our Ayi?"
Luo Feng said in a low voice, "I remember he was sitting with Yi Yunshuo, so it should be him."
So... he's drunk and about to act crazy?
They can't just ignore it because he got so drunk at their wedding banquet.
Zhang Fangfang quickly arranged for someone to help him sit down, then arranged for someone to cook a hangover soup, and then sent someone upstairs to call Fu Huaiyi down.
Let's see how he handles it, considering his friends' opinions.
Fu Huaiyi was not surprised to see that it was Lu Jiangting.
Some things need to be said openly. Taking advantage of his drunken outburst, it's good to have things discussed openly.
"Lu Jiangting, everyone has gone home, why are you still here?"
"Hiccup, of course I came to find you."
"What do you want from me?"
He had drunk quite a bit, but his mind was still clear.
Rather than saying he was drunk and acting crazy, it's more accurate to say the alcohol gave him courage.
He was just emboldened by being drunk, and he said in front of them things that he wouldn't dare to do or say when he was fully sober.
He was unwilling to accept it, and under the influence of alcohol, he could no longer deceive himself.
It's very clear now that he's unwilling to accept this.
"I treated you like a brother, and you stole my wife." His eyes turned red with emotion, and when they turned red, his eyes welled up with tears.
With tears welling up in his eyes, Lu Jiangting patted his chest, heartbroken, and said, "I just want to ask, how can your Fu family bully people like this? There are plenty of girls in the world, why do you have to steal someone else's wife?"
These words contained a tremendous amount of information, leaving everyone in the room speechless.
"Ayi, what does he mean by that?"
Fu Huaiyi calmly stared at Lu Jiangting, then raised his hand to check the time.
I thought we should arrive in a few minutes.
Lu Jiangting wiped his face before continuing indignantly, "Lin Yuyao was originally my fiancée. Our two families were betrothed since childhood, and everyone in the surrounding villages knew that she was going to marry me. But now Fu Huaiyi has snatched her away."
what?
Luo Feng stumbled and looked up at Fu Huaiyi, "Ayi?"
Fu Huaiyi stood on the second-floor staircase, looking down at Lu Jiangting below, letting him say whatever he wanted.
He remained calm, but it made Luo Feng extremely anxious.
"Ayi, what exactly happened? Tell me!"
"He said that? What right does he have to say that? I treated him like a brother, and he stole my wife. You have no right to say that."
Luo Feng didn't believe it at all.
Zhang Fangfang didn't believe it either.
They watched Fu Huaiyi grow up, how could he be that kind of person?
How could they believe that?
"Ayi, what exactly happened? Tell me."
Fu Huaiyi remained silent, and even gave a mocking laugh.
Luo Feng was extremely worried.
"Ayi, you unlucky kid, just say it."
The men in the family had all drunk too much and gone to rest. Fu Leyi and Fu Yatong were in the bridal chamber talking to the bride, while the two of them were downstairs.
When I, the drunkard, came to confront him, that unlucky kid Fu Huaiyi remained silent, which made Luo Feng extremely anxious.
Luo Feng urged Fu Huaiyi to explain, but Lu Jiangting stopped her.
He wept bitterly and said to Luo Feng, "Auntie, I really love Yu Yao. My feelings for her over the years can't be severed so easily. Please help me persuade A Yi, please make a decision for me and get him to give Yu Yao back to me, okay?"
Luo Feng had never seen anything like this before.
He was happily marrying his son's wife, but before they even consummated their marriage, someone came to their house and said that his daughter-in-law was someone else's wife.
Good heavens, thankfully this kid still gave their family some face; otherwise, it would have been terrible if he had caused a scene at the wedding.
That's great!
Luo Feng was furious. "Fu Huaiyi, get down here! If you can't explain yourself clearly today, I'll have your dad break your legs."
Fu Huaiyi simply said, "No rush, let's wait for my friend to arrive."
"What do you mean, 'your friend'? Coming down here and explaining things to me isn't the same as waiting for your friend. Tell me, is what he said right? Your wife, Yuyao, is it true, like he said, that you snatched her away from him?"
"No."
Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.
No matter what her son does, he could never steal someone else's wife.
Besides, she's his friend's wife.
"How could it not be?" Lu Jiangting hiccuped and said excitedly, "Auntie, Yuyao was snatched from me by him."
Luo Feng said unhappily, "Young man, you've had too much to drink. Sit down first, let's have a bowl of hangover soup before we talk."
Zhang Fangfang quickly urged the kitchen to start cooking the soup.
What a mess! On such a joyous occasion, we run into a drunkard causing trouble.
"I'm telling the truth." Lu Jiangting couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up unsteadily and said excitedly, "By the way, last year, I went with him and Yi Yunshuo to attend a friend's wedding, do you remember?"
Luo Feng did recall this incident.
Her son took a leave of absence to visit his family, but after only a short time at home, he said he was going to attend a friend's wedding. She even scolded him for it.
"I remember."
"The friend he was talking about is me. He was originally going to attend my wedding with Yuyao."
what?
Luo Feng and Zhang Fangfang looked at each other in bewilderment.
"If you don't believe me, ask him, Fu Huaiyi. If you're a man, don't lie. Am I right or wrong?"
“This…” Zhang Fangfang looked up at Fu Huaiyi on the stairs, “Ayi, is what he said true?”
Fu Huaiyi calmly replied, "It's true."
Luo Feng: "..."
My heart, which had just settled, started to pound again.
"You mean, Yuyao was originally going to marry him?"
"Yes."
"You unlucky kid, what did you say earlier that you didn't steal someone else's wife?"
"Because Yao Yao didn't marry him in the end, the day I went there, I happened to see Yao Yao and her parents going to the Lu family to break off the engagement."
What?
The wedding date was almost here, and now they're calling it off?
Is this marriage a game?
People of Luo Feng's generation take marriage very seriously. How could they be so absurd as to call off an engagement when they are about to get married, unless something major happened that forced them to cancel?
Lu Jiangting was exposed, but he still stubbornly argued his way out of trouble.
"I had some misunderstandings with her before, that's between us, what right do you have to interfere?"
"What misunderstanding?" Lin Yuyao's voice suddenly rang out from upstairs.
