On May 20th, Qi Zihua and Bai Xuan held their wedding as scheduled.
The wedding was decorated according to Qi Zihua and Bai Xuan's wishes: as lavish as possible!
However, nobody had anticipated that Mayor Qi would be taken away by the prosecutors from his home the day before the wedding. The wedding, which should have been grand, instantaneously dropped several notches in extravagance.
Although Mayor Qi had not yet been convicted, colleagues who had been on good terms with the Qi Family scrambled to distance themselves. Of the eighty-eight tables originally planned for the banquet, less than half were filled with guests.
Even those who attended had a subtle attitude. It was as if that old saying came true: "Misfortunes come without warning."
Bai Xiao did not attend and only sent a red envelope. Sixty thousand in gift money, that was all the sisterly affection she could offer Bai Xuan.
