Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That night, Kong Rong held Sheng Rou’s hand anxiously and asked, “Mom, is this method really feasible? Will Kong Zhao really marry him on my behalf? Cheng Fang is an illegitimate child who has no ability at all. If I marry him, I will be looked down on for the rest of my life!”

“Don’t worry. As long as she wants Mrs. Li to live, she has to agree.” Sheng Rou smiled proudly.

Three days later, the Cheng family’s car arrived. The wedding dress sent by the Cheng family was already placed by Kong Zhao’s bed.

Kong Rong leaned against her closet proudly. “Kong Zhao, hurry up and change your clothes. If you don’t, Mrs. Li’s medical fees will be gone. Are you going to watch her die?”

Kong Zhao clenched her fists and looked at Kong Rong coldly. “Aren’t you afraid that the Cheng family will find out if I marry over on your behalf?”

“I don’t think you will do that, Sister. After all, Mrs. Li still needs the treatment fees to save her life.” Kong Rong looked at Kong Zhao in amusement.

Kong Rong’s attitude made Kong Zhao’s heart skip a beat, but she was right. For the sake of Mrs. Li, she could only act as Kong Rong’s substitute and complete the wedding smoothly.

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Kong Zhao picked up the wedding dress and went to the bathroom.

Kong Zhao rarely dressed up. Now that she had put on her wedding dress and makeup, she looked like a demoness that no one dared to make direct eye contact with.

A hint of jealousy flashed across Kong Rong’s heart. She wouldn’t allow Kong Zhao to surpass her. Never!

“You’re just marrying an illegitimate child. Who are you putting on makeup for? You look so promiscuous. Hurry up and take off your makeup. Don’t let outsiders see the Kong family as a joke,” Kong Rong said with a dark expression.

“I’m already marrying him in your place, so why are you still afraid of being laughed at?” Kong Zhao retorted.

Seeing that Kong Zhao had actually rejected her, Kong Rong’s temper instantly flared up, but she was interrupted the moment she opened her mouth.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!” Kong Peng brought Sheng Rou in and urged.

Kong Rong ran to Kong Peng’s side and wheedled, “Dad, she bullied me just now. Tell her to take off her makeup before we leave!”

Kong Peng glanced at Kong Zhao and looked at the time. He immediately understood Kong Rong’s intention. However, Kong Zhao was marrying him in Kong Rong’s place. If Kong Zhao made a fool of herself, it would be a disgrace to the Kong family!

Kong Peng said firmly, “It’s almost time. Stop throwing a tantrum. Let’s go!”

When Kong Rong didn’t get her wish, she stomped her feet angrily on the spot and looked at Kong Zhao with resentment. However, Kong Zhao didn’t even look at her and followed Kong Peng out.

The group got into the wedding car arranged by the Cheng family and arrived at the wedding venue.

It was time for the wedding, but the groom still didn’t come. There were few guests in the seats, and the entire place seemed especially quiet and empty.

“Don’t be anxious. Perhaps something has delayed them. The Cheng family won’t do anything to embarrass us. Don’t worry.” Kong Peng comforted Kong Zhao, but he was already scheming inside.

Not wanting to see Kong Peng’s scheming expression anymore, Kong Zhao walked straight into the wedding venue to find a place for some quietude.

However, as soon as she walked in, she met a few unfriendly gazes. From their direction, they were probably Cheng Fang’s relatives.

These people didn’t attend the wedding with sincere blessings. They were just curious about what the young lady of the Kong family, who had a messy private life, looked like.

The moment Kong Zhao appeared, those sizing, probing, and disdainful gazes were cast upon her.

Kong Zhao’s beautiful appearance in a red wedding dress perfectly matched their image of a promiscuous woman. Immediately, someone said disdainfully, “Are you seducing men even at the wedding venue? Is this how the Kong family raised you?”

“That’s right. A slut is only worthy of spending the rest of her life with an illegitimate child.”

“If not for the fact that Cheng Fang is an illegitimate child, how could a lowly person like you be worthy of marrying into the Cheng family?” Her words were filled with disdain for Kong Zhao.

The bride had yet to marry into the Cheng family, but she was already being bullied.

Kong Zhao couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

At this moment, Kong Rong held Lin Xu’s hand and deliberately walked to Kong Zhao’s side. She covered her face and chuckled, her eyes filled with pride. “No way. Why isn’t the groom here yet? It’s almost time for the wedding.”

Hearing Kong Rong’s provocation, Lin Xu held Kong Rong’s hand tightly and wanted to bring her away.

He was already filled with regret and guilt for betraying his girlfriend and causing her to marry an illegitimate child. Now, he was unwilling to see Kong Rong mock her like this.

“Lin Xu, what do you mean?” From the moment she entered, Lin Xu’s eyes had been glued to Kong Zhao. The love and guilt in his eyes were even more unbearable.

In the past, as long as Kong Zhao appeared, everyone would look at her. But now, she was about to marry a useless illegitimate child, so why was Lin Xu still looking at her with affection?

The seed of jealousy had long taken root in her heart. How could she let go of the opportunity to ridicule Kong Zhao?

“The groom isn’t even here. How dissatisfied is he with you? I think the Cheng family probably doesn’t take an illegitimate child seriously.” She mocked Kong Zhao with disdain in her eyes.

“Did you hear what everyone here said about you? They said that an orphan and illegitimate child are really a match made in heaven.” Kong Rong looked at Kong Zhao with a smug expression, her eyes filled with disdain.

“Enough! Stop talking. If you didn’t seduce me, Kong Zhao would also…” Lin Xu suppressed his anger and lowered his voice.

He couldn’t tolerate Kong Zhao being insulted like this, so he pulled Kong Rong to the side.
