Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

"Bai Song, where are you going? It's time to start toasting." Liang Yuqin quickly grabbed Guan Bai Song's hand.

Guan Baisong turned to look at her, his voice low, "Is this how you treat your own sister?"

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Liang Yuqin understood, but she pretended to be stupid. She couldn't believe that her husband had been protecting Liang Yulan for so many years.

"Look for yourself, what seats did you arrange for your sister and her family to sit in?" Guan Baisong frowned.

"There weren't any seats available just now, but I thought we were all family, so I just made do to avoid neglecting the other guests," Liang Yuqin explained with a forced smile.

"There are still so many seats available. If you don't arrange them, I'll go and arrange them myself. Even if they are family members, they should be treated fairly when attending the wedding." Guan Baisong knew that Liang Yulan was gentle and wouldn't say anything, so he would speak up.

"I'll take care of the arrangements. You go and greet the guests. Everyone here tonight is important. If you want to build relationships with them, it will benefit the Guan family as well," she said with a smile when she saw that Guan Baisong was angry.

"Okay," Guan Baisong nodded, "make the arrangements."

"Okay." Liang Yuqin walked over reluctantly, hating Liang Yulan to the core. She was married but still seduced her husband. She'd teach her a lesson later.

"Sister, there are still empty seats up ahead. Why don't you go over there and join your relatives?" Liang Yuqin said insincerely.

"No need, it's fine sitting here." Gu Zhihua spoke first. Anyway, this wedding was just a formality. She just wanted to see what Liang Yuqin was up to. Otherwise, she would have already left with her parents.

"That won't do. If you sit here, people will say I'm being rude," Liang Yuqin said, walking over to Liang Yulan and taking her hand. "Come on, your uncles and aunts are at that table over there. Go over there."

"Yuanshan, Zhihua, let's go sit over there." Liang Yulan softened her heart.

"Okay." Gu Zhihua didn't mind; she was waiting for Liang Yuqin to make her move.

Gu Yuanshan always listened to his wife, so he stood up and the group walked together to the table in front.

Arriving at the relatives' table, Liang Yuqin deliberately said, "Uncle, aunts, do you still remember my sister Liang Yulan? She's always stayed in the countryside. We've all moved out of the capital for so many years, but she's still stubbornly holding on. My sister is really persistent."

Several relatives gave them disdainful looks, as if they were poor and didn't deserve to sit with them.

"Yulan, you were better at studying than your sister when you were young, but it seems that being good at studying can't compare to having a good life. Now your sister is a wealthy lady, and her daughter has married into the Zhou family, one of the top ten families. It's like heaven and earth." A woman said sarcastically.

"How can you tell that my mother has a bad life?" Gu Zhihua's smile didn't reach her eyes.

The woman looked at Gu Zhihua and said, "Oh, isn't this Zhihua? Why are you so pregnant? Are you married? How come we didn't get to attend your wedding?"

"I haven't had my wedding yet, but I don't think I'll invite you. After all, you're not worthy of attending my wedding; you're not high enough." Gu Zhihua said bluntly, knowing that these disrespectful and condescending people didn't deserve any respect.

"You..." Auntie was so angry her face turned green. "You ill-mannered thing, Liang Yulan, how did you raise your child? It's no wonder that poor people associate with such low-class people, that you have such a daughter."

"Third Aunt, you can say whatever you want about me, but don't slander my daughter. My daughter is the best." Liang Yulan has a good temper, but whenever Gu Zhihua is mentioned in a bad light, she will stand up to protect her.

Gu Zhihua held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, this table is full of rude people. We'd better not sit with them, or we'll all look bad."

After Gu Zhihua finished speaking, she pulled Liang Yulan and tried to turn around and leave. Liang Yuqin, of course, did not let this opportunity pass. She began to act, "My limited edition diamond ring is missing. It was a gift from my husband."

"Oh? Where did it fall? Hurry up and go look for it!" a woman said anxiously.

"I don't know. I left my clothes on the sink when I went to the restroom. Could it be..." She paused, then looked at Liang Yulan. "Yulan, I think you went to the restroom too. Did you see me?"

Everyone at the table looked at Liang Yulan.

"Could she have stolen it?"

"It's hard to say. They're living such a hard life now, it's no wonder they'd be tempted to steal something so valuable."

"Exactly, the whole family is broke, so it's normal for them to be greedy for money."

The chatter attracted the attention of those nearby, who then began to discuss it, pointing and gesturing at Liang Yulan and her family of three.

Gu Zhihua finally understood. So this was a frame-up scheme. It was such an old trick. They wanted to embarrass her mother in front of everyone. Fine, then she would give Liang Yuqin a good slap in the face and turn this wedding into a farce.

Seeing her mother start to make a scene, Guan Ling deliberately went over and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Lingling, the diamond ring your dad gave me for our anniversary is missing. It seems to be from your aunt..." Liang Yuqin hesitated, then pretended to be kind and explained, "Maybe I misunderstood. Your aunt shouldn't do such a thing. Even though they're poor, they wouldn't steal from their own sister, would they?"

"That's enough, Liang Yuqin. I didn't see your ring at all, and I didn't run into you when I went to the restroom." Liang Yulan's face gradually turned cold.

"Auntie, would my mom joke about something like this? That's a diamond ring my dad gave her. We don't care about the money, but it's very meaningful. If you need money, just tell us. Could you please return my mom's ring?" Guan Ling played along with her mother's act. She knew the ring was in Liang Yulan's bag. She couldn't deny it, and since they were so poor, everyone would definitely believe she stole it.

"You keep saying we're poor and we're short of money. Do you have some misunderstanding about our current life?" Gu Zhihua sneered.

"Cousin, your family must have done a lot of work preparing for the wedding today, right? These clothes must have cost a lot to rent, right? Stealing the ring will pay for the rental and give you some money to spend for a while, won't it?" Guan Ling persisted.

"What a trap! You all want to embarrass my mother today, don't you? Too bad, things may not go as you wish." A cold glint flashed in Gu Zhihua's eyes.

"Whether it was your aunt who stole it or not, we'll know by checking the bag. If you won't let us check, it means you're guilty," Guan Ling said.

"Okay, I'll check it for you." Liang Yulan, unaware of the situation, handed the bag to Guan Ling.

Guan Ling took the bag and, in front of everyone, emptied its contents, revealing a diamond ring that fell onto the table.

Everyone looked at Liang Yulan with disdain.
