88 Keeping Calm and Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin's wedding
Friday, continued...
After dropping Anna off to change and return to the office, Hou Yi continued onto the Key Plaza Hotel for Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin's formal wedding ceremony. Wedding are big business for hotels, and as part of Hou Enterprises involvement he insisted on the hotel grounds a wedding chapel had to be built, along with multiple ballrooms to hold receptions. Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin's reception would use the Grand Ballroom.
Hou Yi, arrived right at the end of the time that the invitation, delivered yesterday had said to be there for seating. The ushers tried to have him sit at the front of the chapel, he refused and sat in the last row. About 2 minutes after he sat down, Yang Lin walked into the chapel on the arms of her father. When she saw Hou Yi, she smirked at him but he ignored that and simply watched her continue down the aisle for the formal wedding ceremony. All he could think about was how lucky of an escape that he and Anna both had from those two.
Once the wedding ceremony was completed, the bride and groom were determined that in the hotel gardens, they would have photographs with every guest. Yang Lin decided that Hou Yi would be her first target, as a means of humiliating him. She sent the wedding planner over to tell Hou Yi to come to were the bridal couple were.
Hou Yi was prepared for Yang Lin to be demanding, controlling, and acting superior to everyone who attended the wedding. All he wanted to do today was establish that he did not give a care. Before he went over, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the Red Envelope that Assistant Wang had given him to provide as a gift, deliberately placing it in his left hand to give to them.
When reaching them he said "Congratulations on your marriage. Lu Jinhu, the man who has her heart won her."He reached out and shook Lu Jinhu's hand all the time thinking all I want to do is crush him for hurting Anna.
Once Lu Jinhu let go of his hand, he transferred the red envelope into this right, making sure that they saw his wedding band, and said "This is for you. Congratulation. I am sorry I cannot stay, as I have more work awaiting me at the office."
Yang Lin, then demanded "Hou Yi, you are not going anywhere. I have decided I am having photographs with every guest, and that means you."
Hou Yi turned, and said to the photographer "Well Hurry up."With that he stood next to the bride and groom, and a few photographs were taken, making sure again his wedding ring was clearly visible. After the photos were taken Hou Yi walked off.
Just after he had taken a few steps, he heard Yang Lin utter "F**k, he has a wedding ring on. Who did he marry."After a few seconds pause, she continued "F**k that wedding ring is from the Dream Set I wanted. He f**king kept it for himself. Who in the f**k did he marry?"
Hou Yi did not pause, respond or look back. He simply continued walked out, only stopping to talk to friend and business acquaintances who were also invited. It was the same faces as previous weddings with a few variations, as those that are considered the elites within City T are a very small selective group.
Some spotted his wedding ring, and queried him about it. They all got the same response "Yes I am married, and no my wife is not here. I will introduce you to her in the future when we are ready to come out into the public."
With everyone wanting to talk to him, Hou YI took almost a hour to leave after the wedding. He looked at his watch, and realised that it was just before 4pm. No way he was going to make it back to the office before 4pm.
Hou Yi therefore took out his phone, and found the contact 'Darling Wife' and dialed Anna. By this time Anna had taken a seat in Hou YI's office."Sweetheart, I have to apologise that I am just getting away from the wedding."
"Do you want me to meet you at the airport then?"
"That will actually be great. Assistant Wang should have those translated documents, so ask him for them, and he will make the arrangements."
"Not a problem. See you there."
