The board members bowed to the audience and they started clapping for their CEO and his wife. The audience were all smiling and cheering. What could be better than marrying the person who was the CEO of her own company? In front of all the people Xie Yuansheng picked up Feng Xinying from the floor bridal style in his arms and kissed her pa.s.sionately on the lips. The audience joined the board members in clapping for the CEO and his wife of the Feng Conglomerate. Photographers started clicking pictures of the power couple. Even audience clicked photos with their cameras and posted them on their social accounts. Soon the news became viral.
Lim Chuen, who was thinking that this disclosure would be like throwing cold water over such a warm evening, felt as though a snake bit him. His throat became dry. He had done all this on Chang Ling"s advice but things had fallen flat. He didn"t know how to react to this sudden turn of events. The amount of effort he had taken to bring them down and it did not give expected return. This was a failure in front of Feng Xinying and he was finding it very difficult to handle. He wanted to throttle Chang Ling but when he looked towards her side, he saw that she was standing with Lim De Zhi with her hands curled around his arms. He couldn"t do anything to her as long as she was with Lim De Zhi because he knew that his son was not aware of their connivance. Lim De Zhi"s eyes met his father"s and he could feel the anger rising in him. He had told him a number of times to stay away from the Feng Conglomerate and spend a retired life, but he only kept getting into trouble.
Xie Yuansheng, Feng Xinying and rest of the board members walked down the stage amidst a loud applause. As they walked down, people started congratulating them. Feng Xinying had suddenly become the center of attraction. People started getting closer to her only to shake hands with her. Now they wanted to get close to her and introduce themselves. As for Feng Xinying she already knew most of them since the beginning of her childhood.
"Do you remember me Feng Xinying? You used to step on my foot all the time?" said an old man.
"Omo! Our Feng Xinying has become so beautiful!"
"She is as vicious as she always was," said some young girls of her age.
"Imagine she is the heiress of such a huge fortune and she has the best man in her hands!"
Lim Fei Yen was extremely agitated. If they were already married, was she dreaming about a married man?
When Lim Chuen saw that Lim De Zhi had gone away from Chang Ling to fetch his drinks, he went to her and said, "You said that people would hate her for deceit but all I see is that they are only appreciating her more."
Chang Ling knew that it was highly possible that her father-in-law would explode in front of the people and their plan would come into light. She had to calm him down. "You should wait for Monday, Father. The share prices would fall drastically. I have already posted in my social account about her deceit. I am sure that things have become very popular by now. Can you even imagine that since she is also an actress and her popularity is huge, the impact of this disclosure would be so huge?"
Lim Chuen"s eyes widened. "Hmm… I hope so…"
"Don"t worry father, things will fall in place," said Chang Ling and walked to her husband who was talking to some guests. She noticed the fervor around her and she thought it would be best to gel in it for the moment.
Keira and Xie Shengjun were noticing all that Lim Chuen was doing. Xie Yuansheng had asked Xie Shengjun to begin investigation about that video. Xie Shengjun was extremely angry and wanted to throw Lim Chuen out but every time he would think that, his fists would curl and Keira had to calm him down.
The emcee urged the people to go on the dance floor and enjoy the wedding reception. Two big news were revealed today and he said everyone to shower their blessings on the couple. Soft music started playing. The people asked Xie Yuansheng and Feng Xinying to do the first dance. The two of them went to the dance floor and started swaying together. Feng Xinying laughed and along with her husband she danced on the floor for a long time when others started joining them. She looked at her husband and said, "Do you think the public would take all this positively?"
"Even if it doesn"t, I wouldn"t worry about it because the market sentiments are short. The timing of this news was terrible. It is Sat.u.r.day evening today and the markets will open on Monday and by that time people will forget about it," said Xie Yuansheng with a chuckle. "Also a small dip in shares is nothing for a company as big as ours, so don"t worry about it!"
Feng Xinying laughed more as Xie Yuansheng twirled her and picked her to put her on his thighs. She landed there perfectly. Suddenly he remembered her condition and immediately stopped. "Xinying, enough of all this. You better sit down now. We have had enough of excitement and exercise for the day." His words were more of an order than a request.
"Xie Yuansheng…" lamented Feng Xinying because she wanted to dance more.
"Nothing doing!" he replied. "My poor baby!"
Keira came to her and held her hands. She pulled Feng Xinying away from the crowd and asked her to rest. "Remember you are carrying another life in you! How could you make that move? Have you no sense?"
Feng Xinying lowered her head with a pout.
Meanwhile the two brothers met. "I want every piece of information about that video," said Xie Yuansheng. "Keep a twenty-four hour trail on Chang Ling."
Two days later, something unexpected happened.
