Chapter 3251: Honeymoon (2)
After Gong Shaoying left, there was a brief silence before the wedding event started up again!
All the guests had no idea what had happened, they only thought that it was an unexpected disruption to the event.
They did not know Gong Shaoying’s ident.i.ty, and neither did they know that the person who had left the venue was actually the founder of Hurricane Group, Gong Shaoying.
Despite the complexity of emotions he was feeling, Gong Jie quickly pushed those unhappy matters to the back of his mind!
When the ceremony was over and it was time for a toast, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ changed into a red gown and walked down the event hall with Mu Yazhe to toast the guests.
At this juncture, the guests took full advantage of this rare opportunity of course, to get Mu Yazhe drunk!
However, why else would he have chosen Jiang Shen and Lu Jinyu as his best men?
Qin Zhou and Lu Jinyu aside, Jiang Shen, who had the worst alcohol tolerance among the three, could easily drink a pound of white wine without a problem!
Among the people they had to toast were wealthy CEOs with extraordinary backgrounds and business partners of the Shengyu Group. They would have expected the hosts to down a significant amount of alcohol. And because some of these guests were on rather good terms with Mu Yazhe, it would be inappropriate for them to decline!
Hence in this instance, the alcohol tolerance of these three groomsmen came in handy!
Mu Linfeng and Mu Yanchen sat among the guests, their minds unsettled, as if they were sitting on needles!
They had also received an invitation to the wedding. Mu Yazhe said that after all, they were family. And since they were family, he had to send them invitations. Naturally, it was entirely up to them if they wished to attend!
Initially, Mu Linfeng thought that this event was yet another one of those banquets contrived as a trap. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was just too important for the man to use the occasion to stir trouble.
Hence they turned up, as promised.
However, at the venue, what greeted them was an extremely luxurious wedding event!
Mu Linfeng was especially upset!
There was nothing worse than meeting the guests at the wedding venue. Some of these important guests were important officials of the country, while others were big bosses of the consortiums. There were even a few familiar faces that they had met earlier!
In recent times, the Mu Group had been experiencing some issues in their financing, hence, Mu Linfeng had been in a terrible fix. Mu Yanchen was even thinking of ways to rope in some investors to ease this predicament!
However, more than a few times, they had doors slammed shut in their faces. When they finally managed to contact the decision maker himself, the other party said that they had already established a partners.h.i.+p with other corporations, and did not have the resources to invest in the Mu Group.
Mu Linfeng, on the other hand, felt even more awkward running into these investors at the wedding venue!
It turned out that the Shengyu Group had managed to win over all these financial groups that used to be on good terms with the Mu Group!
This Mu Yazhe was really ruthless!
It was no wonder he was so dismissive when he left the Mu Group back then. So it seemed that he had already secretly prepared a backup plan. When Shengyu Group was listed, he had made a series of moves to attack the Mu Group, and worse, he did not leave a way out and took drastic measures to deal with the Mu Group. Was he trying to put the Mu Group out of business?!
Now, what was the purpose of inviting them to the wedding?!
He wanted them to witness with their own eyes that even after leaving the Mu Group, he could still achieve glory by himself?
In contrast to the glory of the Shengyu Group, the Mu Group appeared even more down and out!
Mu Linfeng felt utterly humiliated coming to this wedding!
