Because the news of Ji Shiyou waking up was kept from others, there was no procession to pick up the bride.
The wedding ceremony would begin directly at the hotel.
Outside the Jinlan Hotel, luxury cars were like a tide. Everyone who entered the hotel was a prominent figure in the capital.
Today, they were all here to attend the wedding of Ji Shiyou, the president of the Ji Group.
Although everyone knew that Ji Shiyou was in a coma and his life was uncertain, the Ji Group had operated normally during his unconscious period and had not been affected.
As long as the Ji Group did not collapse, their lives were in the hands of the Ji family, so they dared not fail to show up.
The wedding venue was luxurious and elegant. Madam Ji was overjoyed that Ji Shiyou had woken up.
This was not a simple auspicious marriage ceremony, but the formal wedding of her beloved grandson and precious granddaughter-in-law, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
It absolutely could not be rushed. Although time was tight, it had to be done perfectly.
Therefore, Madam Ji had hired the world's top wedding planning team with a heavy sum and booked the most high-end Jinlan Hotel in the capital.
She wanted to grandly marry Mingyue into the family to thank her for saving her grandson's life.
In the bridal suite, Mingyue was ready. The white wedding dress designed by a master perfectly accentuated her figure.
With makeup on, she was even more stunningly beautiful, but she was not in the mood to pay attention to these things.
She felt a bit restless, not out of fear of the upcoming wedding, which posed no pressure on her.
According to the process, with the groom in a coma, she only needed to make an appearance, and the ceremony would be complete.
What worried her was how to bring up the divorce. Yesterday's failed attempt to break off the engagement had not worked.
Moreover, after going upstairs, Madam Ji had picked out many of her own jewelry for her and had talked with her for most of the night.
From the old lady's happy expression, she could feel that Madam Ji liked her very much.
Her protection was also from the heart, which made her feel a long-lost sense of family.
From the old lady, she had received the warmth of family, something she had never experienced before.
She could not imagine how sad Madam Ji would be if she proposed a divorce.
She really could not bear to hurt such an elderly person, and she could not bring herself to say it.
She considered staying for a while to accompany the old lady, but immediately dismissed the idea.
Because Master Qinglan had said that as soon as she married, Ji Shiyou would wake up.
She and Ji Shiyou did not know each other at all. Now she realized that after marriage, the two would live together.
What would she do then? She regretted her impulsive decision once again.
As she was lost in thought with no clear direction, it was time for her to go on stage.
"Whatever happens, we'll take it one step at a time. When we reach the mountain, there will be a way."
Mingyue stood up and followed the staff out of the suite.
"I heard the bride today is from the mountains?"
At the wedding venue, before the ceremony began, the wives and daughters of various families started gossiping.
It couldn't be helped; no matter the wealth or poverty, when women gathered, gossip was indispensable.
"Yes, I heard her name is Mingyue, and she was brought to bring good luck to the comatose young master Ji.
Madam Ji bought her from the mountains for ten million."
"Ten million to buy a country bumpkin? Madam Ji is confused.
Young Master Ji is the wealthiest bachelor in the capital, with countless noble ladies pursuing him.
Even if he were in a coma, if word got out, they would scramble for him without a penny, so why spend money to buy someone?"
"You don't know this, but I heard that young master Ji is actually on his last legs.
His fiancée broke off the engagement, so who would want to become a widow right after entering the family? They could only buy someone."
"Actually, I think being a widow isn't bad. With young master Ji's wealth, I'm willing."
Discussions filled the venue, with people saying all sorts of things. At this moment, the host, holding a microphone, walked onto the flower-filled stage.
"Distinguished friends and family, the wedding of Mr. Ji Shiyou and Ms. Mingyue will begin shortly.
Please return to your seats and witness the happiness of the newlyweds!
Now, please welcome the most beautiful bride today, Mingyue!"
The wedding ceremony was held on the hotel's lawn, adorned with flowers. Chairs for the guests were arranged opposite the stage.
Upon hearing that the wedding was about to begin, everyone immediately returned to their seats.
They all wanted to see what this bride, who was bought to bring good luck, looked like.
Reporters from major media outlets in the capital were also ready with their cameras.
The Ji Group was a dominant force in China, and Ji Shiyou was a prominent figure.
Anything related to him could become a trending topic.
As prompted by the host, Mingyue walked onto the stage with grace and poise, her demeanor calm and composed.
Her movements were elegant and proper. She stood at the center of the stage, smiling at the audience.
On the stage, Madam Ji was beaming, looking at Mingyue with doting eyes.
However, Zhao Xinning and her mother-in-law, standing beside her, had dark expressions, envious of the grandeur of the wedding.
What woman didn't dream of a grand wedding? The wedding dress on Mingyue alone was worth eighty million.
The fact that a famous designer was hired with a heavy sum to rush its creation, adorned with countless diamonds, showed Madam Ji's dedication.
"Is this a country bumpkin from the mountains? How can she be like a fairy descended to earth?"
"Her etiquette is impeccable, and her demeanor is elegant. Even noble ladies don't possess such grace!"
The ladies and young women from the noble families and consortiums present were initially prepared to see Mingyue make a fool of herself.
But Mingyue's appearance was flawless, leaving them with nothing to criticize.
"Beautiful bride, do you take Mr. Ji Shiyou to be your lawfully wedded husband.
Will you be devoted to him, forsaking all others, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, until death do you part?"
Due to Ji Shiyou's coma, the wedding ceremony was simplified. As long as Mingyue said "I do," the ceremony could conclude.
The host had already gone over the process with Mingyue, thinking to himself that this was the easiest money he had ever made.
So after finishing his question, he fixed his eyes on Mingyue, waiting for her to agree so he could announce the completion of the ceremony.
But Mingyue hesitated. She found it difficult to say "I do."
"I object! She is not qualified to be a daughter-in-law of the Ji family!"
At this moment, a voice rang out, and a woman wearing sunglasses and with a protruding belly suddenly appeared.
As she spoke, she ran onto the stage and snatched the microphone from the host.
"What's going on? Who is this person?"
"She's pregnant, could it be?"
The venue erupted in a commotion, with people whispering. Madam Ji's face instantly turned grim.
The host was flustered, unsure how to handle the situation, while Mingyue watched the woman with interest.
"Who are you? Why are you interrupting the wedding? What is your purpose?"
Madam Ji, seated below, her face ashen, asked in a deep voice.
Looking at the murmuring crowd, Madam Ji did not have security drag the woman away, as doing so would not silence the gossip.
"Madam Ji, my name is Mi Fen. I am carrying young master Ji's child, and it should be me marrying him!"
Mi Fen's words were like a bomb, stunning everyone present.
