Even the busybodies who were watching the live-stream online felt their jaws falling at the sight of Elder Bai.

  At this moment, the rumours of Fang Xinxin insisting on holding the wedding regardless of Elder Bai’s health immediately ended.

  Bai Hong rushed to receive him. “Father, why are you here?”

  “My only grandson and granddaughter-in-law are getting married. Of course I should be here.” Bai Chongshan nodded towards the guests and smiled. “I read the news online as well. My old body causes trouble all the time. I must have made everyone worry. It was one of my greatest wishes for my grandson, Bai Qinghao, to marry Fang Xinxin and for me to attend their wedding.”

  \r \r \r

  “In that case, what is your ultimate greatest wish?” A reporter asked.

  “Is there a need to even ask?” Bai Chongshan stroked his grey beard. “Of course, it’s to hold my great-grandson.”

  His humour caused the guests to laugh.

  “Granddaughter-in-law, come over here.” Bai Chongshan waved at Fang Xinxin.

  She approached him and obediently greeted him. “Grandfather.” She was really thankful that the elder had woken up and even made his way here to attend the wedding.

  Bai Chongshan put on a stern expression and said, “Explain to everyone. Why did you buy the haunted apartments in Mian Lan North District? The netizens these days are more ridiculous than ever. They actually dared to say that my only granddaughter-in-law purchased those apartments to ruin the Bai family’s luck. Even idiots wouldn’t do such a thing to shoot themselves in the foot, much less my granddaughter-in-law, who is a talented student from Jing Hua University and the world famous designer, Alice.”

  Fang Xinxin smiled in response. “Everyone, this matter is rather simple. Although I study fashion design, Alice’s work studio does not only focus on design work. We also accept architectural design work. A while ago, Gu Group, one of the biggest property companies in the city centre approached my work studio in hopes of obtaining my assistance for an Urban Renewal Project in Mian Lan North District. I was asked to assist them with redesigning the apartment buildings there. In other words, Mian Lan North District will most likely transform in the upcoming days. Therefore, I decided to take on this gamble and invested in ten, low-priced apartments there. They aren’t all haunted apartments. Four of them are haunted, while the other six were simply being sold cheaply. If the government decides to demolish these apartments and relocate the inhabitants, it would not matter if they were haunted because they would be rebuilt anyway. I’ll also be able to make a lot of profit. On the other hand, if I end up losing this gamble, it doesn’t matter. I don’t mind losing the money.”

  When the guests present heard this, they immediately headed to the Gu Group’s official website to check their recent projects. One of the guests spoke up. “Madam Bai, you’ve won the gamble. Gu Group has just released a formal announcement that Mian Lan North District will be fully demolished and all its inhabitants will be relocated while the buildings will be rebuilt. The apartments you bought cheaply will definitely spike in price. You’ll make a lot of profit.”

  “That is why.” Elder Bai spoke up. “My granddaughter-in-law was only making an intelligent investment decision. Please stop spreading the rumours of her trying to ruin the Bai family’s luck.”

  “Madam Bai is really too insightful!” One of the guests said admiringly.

  “I wonder who was so low? She was just making an investment yet they insisted on saying she was trying to ruin the Bai family’s luck. I bet the people who wrote the article are the ones who are trying to ruin the Bai family’s luck!” Someone chimed in and all the guests immediately expressed their agreement.

  Bai Jingrou gripped her wine glass tightly, nearly causing it to shatter.

  She had set up countless schemes, yet Fang Xinxin actually did not become the sinner who was ruining the Bai family’s luck and had caused Elder Bai’s death.

  More upsettingly, wasn’t Elder Bai in a critical condition? How did he manage to wake up and attend the wedding!

  After causing a commotion like this at the wedding, even the rumours of Fang Xinxin trying to ruin the Bai family’s luck were thoroughly washed off!
