Xu Weilai returned to Xiao Chun’s apartment in a cab after Grandpa Gu and Mrs. Lin were picked up by the driver sent by Gu Yu. As the bridesmaid and best man of the wedding, Xiao Chun and Xu Shuai had already left for the wedding. The gowns and jewelery that were prepared by Xiao Chun for Xu Weilai were spread on the bed along with a beautiful high heels made of crystal like materials.
She first took a shower before she did a quick facial treatment and went through her facial routine in the bathroom. Then only she put on her makeup at her dressing table. She wore light makeup, but focused on detailing her eye features to make them looked more delicate. She would still want to look beautiful, even though she had no intention to steal the bride’s limelight.
She admired herself in front of the full sized mirror after she was done with her makeup and having donned the gown. Satisfied with her look, she put on her high heels and left with her phone and a USB drive in her handbag.

The wedding banquet was packed with celebrities and friends of both families.
The marriage between /the Gu Corporation and the Zuo Corporation was a major event in the business world. Not only that it was attended by Grandpa Gu, who had just woken from his coma, CEO Zuo and relatives of the Zuo family that rarely appeared in public flew in to attend the ceremony.
Everyone could not help marvelling over CEO Zuo. Even though Zuo An failed to secure the CEO position in Gu Corporation, the marriage between Zuo Si and Gu Yu today would mean that Gu Corporation and Zuo Corporation had become one. CEO Zuo won this time.
It had always been known Gu family conquered the north while the Zuo Family, the south. In the future, the descendant of Gu Yu and Zuo Si would dominate the entire business world. The world of the commerce would be dominated by one family.
The wedding banquet was held with elegance, n.o.bleness, and romantic setting on the large lawn behind the Gu Garden Country Club.
Most of the guests had already arrived by the time Xu Weilai reached the venue. Most of them were still entertaining themselves, chatting and socializing at the c.o.c.ktail reception since the wedding ceremony had yet begun. Most of the guests were younger generations of the rich with their celebrity girlfriends busy exchanging pleasantries and snapping photos for their social medias.
Everyone in the community knew Xu Weilai by reputation, although they might not have met her before. Being the ex-wife of Gu Yu, she was the least expected guest at the wedding banquet. Therefore, she captured everyone’s attention the moment she stepped into the venue.
Whispers and discussions started among the attendees.
“Isn’t that Xu Weilai? What is she doing here? Is she here to cause trouble?”
“Oh my G.o.d, if that’s the case, isn’t she too stupid and overestimating herself? If she were to cause a scene like today, she would be the one being shamed…”
“She should just stay low since they were already divorced. Her family background was inferior to Gu Yu’s, after all. She must have gotten quite an amount as compensation from Gu Yu? I heard she had a gotten an enormous amount of Gu Corporation’s share. She has some kind of death wish if she still doesn’t know her place and offended the Gu or the Zuo family.”
“Agreed. Did she not pretend to have killed Gu Yu to gain popularity? In the end, Gu Yu appeared in the public to verify that she was lying and even announced the news of his marriage to the public. Such a slap to her face. It’s funny when you think about it. How dare she show up here?”
“She had always been thick-skinned. First, their engagement was annulled, then she got divorced. Now, she still sticks around shamelessly. She’s a disgrace.”
“Disgrace? Does she, Xu Weilai, have any grace or dignity? She can gain so much advantage once and again because she’s shameless. As for us, we can’t bring ourselves to do what she did.”
She shrieked as soon as she finished her words.
Champagne dripping from her hair, she was s.h.i.+vering from the chilled champagne just taken out from the ice bucket. She fiercely glared at the person who poured the chilled champagne down her head after her piercing shriek. “Who did it? Are you crazy?”
