Today is the wedding day for me and Zhao Benyuan.

Some people say that marriage is the tomb of love, but I don't think so.

Even a grave is happy to marry someone you love.

I looked at the man slowly walking toward me, my heart filled with happiness, this was the man I had loved for seven years, finally stepped into the marriage hall.

At this moment, I was filled with yearning and expectation for my married life. However, there were some things that I didn't want to do …

As the master of ceremonies walked along, Zhao Benyuan stood by my side and firmly held my hand.

"Now, watch the course of the two rookies' feelings!"

The wide screen lit up, showing a picture of me and Zhao Benyuan. In the picture, I was smiling like a flower.

I tilted my head and looked at Zhao Benyuan, my heart filled with sweetness.

The gasps from below the stage brought me back to reality.

"Isn't this Mrs. Xia?" A small voice sounded, attracting a flurry of discussion from the audience.

Below the stage, my father's face was ashen, his chest heaving as if he had received a huge shock.

Zhao Benyuan turned around and looked at the big screen. His face was pale as he let go of my hand.

As the discussion got louder and louder, I turned my head.

There were photos on the screen, intimate photos, intimate to the point that they were naked.

And the heroine in the photo is not me, but my stepmother, Qi Shan!

The host clearly hadn't expected something to happen and hastily asked the staff to stop playing. However, the equipment had malfunctioned and couldn't be switched off no matter how hard he tried.

My father stood up, his face red as he cursed, "Shameless thing, you are luring a wolf into the house!"

I stood dumbly on the stage, as though I was a soulless figurine, allowing the people below the stage to look at me and make fun of me.

On the day of my wedding, I was given the green, and the green was actually my stepmother!

Embarrassment, shame, and an unnamed feeling made me want to dig a hole in the ground.

My father was so angry that his whole body was shaking. His eyes rolled over and he fell down on the ground, unable to hold on any longer.

"Miss Xia, Manager Xia has a heart attack. You need to go to the hospital immediately!" Someone in the audience shouted and called for an ambulance.

I struggled to breathe, holding on to my wedding dress as I staggered off the stage.

My father was lying on the ground, his face turning purple. I knelt beside him, my eyes dry and sore. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.

The ambulance came and I followed the paramedics on my high heels to the hospital.

Before yesterday, I was daydreaming about a happy and happy life after Zhao Benyuan. But now, reality has given me two resounding slaps, completely waking me up.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and my father's life was not in danger.

I was sitting on a bench in the hospital corridor, wearing a white wedding dress, which made me look like a defeated clown.

Zhao Benyuan hasn't appeared since my dad got sick.

I made a few phone calls, but he didn't answer. It was as if he had disappeared from my world.

However, when I thought of Zhao Benyuan, dull pain immediately came from my chest.

Zhao Benyuan came to the hospital at noon the next day. Qi Shan also came with him.

Qi Shan is beautiful, graduated from a famous university, good figure and likes to act coquettishly. She was my father's fifth wife. To be able to chase away all the girls around my father proved how capable she was.

"Why, why did you do this to me?" I held on to the hem of my wedding dress and looked at Zhao Benyuan with red eyes.

I didn't sleep all night. My voice was hoarse and even my vocal cords hurt. However, no matter how much it hurts, it can't even compare to the pain in my heart!

Qi Shan nestled against Zhao Benyuan's chest weakly and glanced at him with disdain. She mocked, "Xia Zhen, do you really think that the Source of Life has feelings for you? If it wasn't for the fact that you have two stinking money in your family, do you think he would have taken a fancy to you? "

Qi Shan's words exploded in my heart like a bomb.

I grabbed Zhao Benyuan's hand, tears in my eyes, choking as I asked him: "You tell me, is what she said true?"

Zhao Benyuan shook off my hand impatiently and scolded coldly, "Do you think I would like a second-hand person who has been played with before?"

My face immediately turned pale and my body trembled uncontrollably. Large tears fell from my eyes, covering my exquisite face.

It was Zhao Benyuan who told me that he didn't care about my past and what I had suffered.

After seven years of love, Zhao Benyuan has never touched a single finger of mine. Even kissing comes to an end. I was worried that Zhao Benyuan would mind about my past, but Zhao Benyuanyi told me in a righteous tone that he didn't want to stay on his wedding night.

However, he didn't expect that Zhao Benyuan didn't touch me from the start because he despised me for being dirty.

I slumped in my seat like a condemned prisoner. He stared at Zhao Benyuan in a daze and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Zhao Benyuan, even if you don't like me and don't want to marry me, you can't do that to her!"

In any case, Qi Shan was my stepmother in name, and so many people saw those unsightly photos at the wedding yesterday.

What would outsiders think of me? What would they think of my father?

Qi Shan frowned and held Zhao Benyuan's arm intimately. With a change in her eyes, she said coquettishly, "If you have time to act pitiful here, why don't you spend more time on public relations?"

Her words chilled me.

"I came here to tell you that since the wedding wasn't successful, then forget it. I don't want to marry you anyway." Zhao Benyuan looked at her for a second before leaving with Qi Shan.

It was clearly midsummer, but I felt the cold. It was bone-piercing cold.

"Miss Xia, hurry and come to the company. Something big is happening at the company." It was Assistant Lin.

I got the call and hurried out of the hospital. The company was built by my dad, and it was my dad's life's work, so I couldn't let anything go wrong at this time.

"Manager Xia has transferred all the stocks in his possession to this wife. Now that Manager Xia is unconscious, this wife is going to sit as CEO." Assistant Lin said anxiously, "Miss Xia, this is Director Xia's life's work, what if..."

I frantically scratched my head. The scandal at the wedding hadn't even died down when something happened to the company. One wave after another, and I was at a loss as to what to do.

"What should I do?" I looked up at him, my eyes red.

The company has always been managed by my dad, and I don't know anything about it. Even if Qi Shan really wants to be president, what can I do?

"You and Director Zhao were originally husband and wife. It wouldn't be excessive for the company to ask for help from Zhao Family if something happens."

I smiled bitterly. I'm afraid Qi Shan and I might have tried to rob the company Zhao Benyuan to help.

Zhao Benyuan didn't have any real power in the Zhao Family. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Qi City, the Xia's Group would be his best springboard.

Assistant Lin was so anxious that he suddenly came to a realization: "Zhao Tianyi!"
