Chapter 271 He ran away with his lover.
No one could stay heartless after watching Grandma Fang say those words, Aunt Wang who came in place of Yu Dong's mother felt her head spin, if not for Yu Tong who steadied her, she would have fallen to the ground! Just when she thought that this girl has stopped causing trouble for her, she went around and did something so unreasonable and cruel! Aunt Wang was feeling so angry inwardly that she was just one breath away from spewing fire like a dragon. She strode toward Yu Dong as she glanced around the crowd with a smile and once she sidled next to Yu Dong, she pulled Yu Dong away from Grandma Fang and Fang Chi by the back of her shirt and dragged her to the corner where the wedding procession was standing, she lowered her voice and threateningly whispered, " I am telling you, Dong Dong, I can ignore every single one of your pranks, hell I even considered your alcoholism as nothing but the aftermath of your rebellious age and I can withstand everything but if you dared to make slight of this wedding ceremony and pushed the Fang family in a corner, I swear to God, I will whack your ass so hard that it will become a watermelon from peach, you get that?"
Yu Dong was speechless. Was her image so bad in the eyes of others that their first thought was that she was trying to use this ceremony as a way to take revenge on Fang Chi by reneging the promise that she has made to the Fang family? However, Yu Dong didn't have the time to wash her image clean. There were more pressing matters than this, she took a breath and leaned closer to aunt Wang as she whispered, " Aunt Wang take a proper look at the groom, he does not look like Fang Chi."
Aunt Wang wanted to scold Yu Dong for making excuses but then the latter turned her head in 'Fang Chi's direction and Aunt Wang's eyes went wide. Though the height and skin tone was indeed similar to Fang Chi, this figure was a bit too slender and willowy, compared to Fang Chi who was tall with an imposing height when compared to the mers of the village and with his muscular build, this figure was really thin as if it didn't have any muscles at all.
The more Aunt Wang looked at the Fang Chi in front of her the more her brows drew closer to each other, only now did she realise that the dress that should have enunciated Fang Chi's body was actually hung like an oversized shirt on the frame of the ' Fang Chi' who was standing in front of them. No matter how she looked at the current Fang Chi, Aunt Wang couldn't shake off the feeling that the person in front of her wasn't the groom that they came to take but someone else! This time Aunt Wang's eyes swirled and she really ended up leaning against Yu Tong whose face have turned ugly.
The bridegroom was changed? Damn, this was the first time she has heard of such a thing.
" Oh dear, why did madam Wang faint? What did Yu Dong say to her?" Someone in the crowd shouted and Fang Nan who was standing next to Grandma Fang stiffened. Something was wrong - the second he heard Yu Dong stopping him from crossing the threshold, he knew something was off about this situation but he stood still because he knew that if he tried to run someone would catch him.
And even if no one caught him, Yu Dong would definitely give a chase after him. Just what went wrong? He took care of everything, from installing soles in his shoes and changing the colour of his skin through makeup to match Fang Chi's, he did everything. So why was it that he was still caught?
However, Fang Nan didn't have the time to worry about such things, he needed to get out of here. Even if the cat was out of the bag, he couldn't just stay here and wait for Yu Dong to rip the veil off his face, right? So, he bunched up his wedding dress and slowly backed away, then when he heard that no one was saying a thing, he turned around and started to run. But before he could run inside the Fang house, his arm was caught and the veil that was covering his face was ruthlessly ripped off his face.
The sudden glare of the light made him blink his eyes and when his vision returned to normal, his gaze met with Yu Dong who was looking down at him with a terrifying expression, " Where do you think you are running to? Aren't you here to enjoy the wedding?"
Her voice chilled his heart, this … this wasn't the Yu Dong that he knew of! The Yu Dong whom he liked and wanted to marry was the one who was as gentle as a spring breeze, so why was she acting towards him like this? Compared to Fang Chi, he was a lot more beautiful and elegant! He deserved much more love than that stupid cousin of his.
What Fang Nan never considered was that Yu Dong was only nice to Fang Chi because he was her fiancé, to the mer she had no relationship with why will she even bother wasting her breath with him?
" Fang Nan! What are you doing here?" Grandma Fang felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest, first, it was Yu Dong who refused to marry her grandson, then little Wang fainted and before she knew it her grandson who was standing right behind her was running back to the house- she thought that her grandson was upset with what was happening and that's why he was running inside the house to cry. But before she could so much as muster her courage to scold Yu Dong for being cold-hearted- the veil was ripped off and instead of revealing the face of her grandson, it was Fang Nan's amorously seductive face that was revealed.
Grandma Fang's vision turned black as spots started to dance in front of her eyes if not for grandma from the neighbourhood supporting her she would have dropped on her back just like little Wang. She shook her head and cleared off the nausea that she was feeling as she stared at Fang Nan's unrepentant face and shouted, " You brat, what are you doing here? Have you sold all your shame to the devil? How can you- how can you exchange places with your cousin! Quickly, tell me where did you hide your cousin!"
Fang Nan coldly listened to his grandma's scolding, the old woman was the same as ever. She was still worried about Fang Chi over everything else, then he turned to glance at Yu Dong whose gorgeous face was frighteningly cold and smirked, did they think that just because he was caught the matter was over? Haha, it wasn't. Fang Nan pinched his hands under his sleeves and mustered the tears he could as he sniffed with his eyes turning red, " Its brother Chi, he was the one who asked me to exchange places with him. He said that he didn't want to get married to Yu Dong and was still in love with Mu Yuxi…. Just before the wedding procession arrived … he … he ran away with his lover!"
