Wedding hall.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the big high-definition screen.
On the screen, the intertwined figures of two bodies were in full view of everyone present.
After a second of shock, some had already realized that the man was Gu Yan Sheng, but the woman was not An Nuan.
Gu Yan Sheng realized it in that moment too.
He became panic-stricken through and through.
How could this be?!
How could the slideshow have suddenly switched to this scene?
It was supposed to be photos of him and An Nuan, so how did it become video of him and An Zhao from that night they slept together?
No.
Gu Yan Sheng hurriedly yelled at the staff, "Quick, turn it off! Shut it down immediately!"
The usually modest young master had now lost all composure and propriety.
His yelling made everyone at the venue frown in distaste. His tone and irritable language were completely uncultured and offensive.
At this point, Gu Yan Sheng's parents had also stood up from the main table, shouting at the staff, "Who dared to play this inappropriate video? Shut it down immediately! I order you to turn it off right now!"
The scene became somewhat chaotic.
There were murmurs everywhere.
Yet the video remained on for a long time, with moans of debauchery echoing through the wedding hall!
"Who's in charge here?! Bring your supervisor out to me, now!" Gu WenQuan had also revealed his true nature, bellowing angrily into the hall.
Ni Lan was also shouting at the servers, "Get your supervisor out here! I want an explanation for what's going on right now! Hurry up and turn off the video!"
Their voices behind had nearly turned into enraged screams.
Clearly, this was the ultimate humiliation for the Gu family, something unimaginable and unacceptable in their lifetime.
On stage, An Nuan appeared exceptionally calm.
In her past life, when Gu Yan Sheng had her completely imprisoned, he had even deliberately made her watch as he slept with other women, watching as he wildly cheated on her.
She didn't make a fuss or kick up a row then, just watched coldly as Gu Yan Sheng disgustingly did all that right before her eyes.
The heart-piercing pain, the humiliation, revulsion, breakdown, despair, resentment - all those emotions kept suppressed inside her, biting her lips to keep it all in without venting it out.
She was thinking then, if only those sordid scenes of Gu Yan Sheng with other women could be publicly exposed for all to see, how good would that be? Let everyone know how disgusting Gu Yan Sheng was, how hypocritical he was - that would be so great!
To have this man be shamed and broken down in front of an audience, how spectacular would that be?!
Now, it was finally happening.
She turned to look at Gu Yan Sheng, taking in his completely out-of-control state.
Watching as he had zero regard for keeping up appearances, frantically yelling for the staff to turn the video off.
Finally.
So what if it was turned off? The damage was already done!
Without the lewd moans now, the scene became deathly quiet, ominously reminding Gu Yan Sheng of the earth-shattering events that had just occurred.
His earlier agitation now had to calm down whether he liked it or not.
Even calmer now, he truly had no idea how to handle the situation.
He couldn't have dreamed that such footage would be exposed in front of everyone.
At his own wedding, revealing his affair to so many guests!
No.
His life, his perfect life, couldn't be ruined just like this.
It couldn't be destroyed by a mere video.
Yes.
The most important thing now was still An Nuan.
As long as An Nuan didn't mind, as long as she let it go, their wedding could still go on, he still had a chance to salvage his image.
After all, if the aggrieved party wasn't bothered, what business was it of others to make a fuss?!
He hurried back to An Nuan, anxiously grabbing her hand. "Nuan Nuan, let me explain."
An Nuan looked at him.
Exceptionally calm.
Her calmness actually made Gu Yan Sheng feel even more uneasy and nervous.
But he firmly believed An Nuan loved him, loved him a lot.
As long as he sweet-talked An Nuan, she would surely not fuss over this.
He put on a pained expression, looking full of regret. "An Zhao set me up."
"Is that so?" An Nuan glanced around just then.
Currently the venue's lights were all focused on the stage, with darkness everywhere else.
Her gaze just now was to try and see An Zhao's reaction to Gu Yan Sheng's claim!
"Really. We drank together that night, didn't we? I got drunk and was helped away by An Zhao. I was really wasted then, had no idea who I was with at all. I didn't even know I was sleeping with someone. Only when I woke up did I realize what had happened! I was going to tell you originally, but I was so afraid of losing you that I didn't dare. Nuan Nuan, I know I'm selfish. I know I did wrong, but please forgive me, I beg you to forgive me!" Gu Yan Sheng spoke quickly and anxiously.
He really teared up at that moment.
Clearly understanding that if An Nuan didn't forgive him, he would be utterly finished! So of course he'd be anxious to the point of crying.
Such a grieved appearance.
Yet An Nuan remained completely indifferent.
Watching Gu Yan Sheng's performance dispassionately.
Gu Yan Sheng hurriedly went on, "Nuan Nuan, I'm really hurting. When I woke up and saw An Zhao next to me, I really wanted to kill myself. But I can't die - if I died, how could I continue taking care of you? Who would look after you if I died? Nuan Nuan, you know I've loved you for years. I really have loved you for so long. We finally got married after much difficulty. I really don't want it to just end like this, don't want to be completely ruined."
An Nuan still had no reaction.
She merely watched Gu Yan Sheng in his sorry state before her.
How he had tormented her to a fate worse than death in their past life.
How he had stabbed her to death with a knife in their past life.
She would repay every bit of it slowly.
"Nuan Nuan, please forgive me, okay? I'm begging you, forgive me. I swear I'll treat you well from now on. I absolutely won't do anything to wrong you again. I won't even drink anymore outside, won't give myself any chance to make mistakes. Nuan Nuan, give me a chance to love you properly, okay?" His words sounded genuinely moving.
At that point, An Nuan finally spoke.
She said, "Are you willing to kneel down and beg me?"
