Chapter 30: The focus of the audience is the surprise from Netizens!
The groom swiftly turned to check his phone and was astonished by what he saw— the live broadcast viewers had skyrocketed to over 100,000! The comment section scrolled frantically, confirming it was no glitch. This unexpected surge disappointed him, especially since he usually had around 1,000 online viewers.
Even the bride, noticing the incredible increase, shared in the joy. “Honey, I really don’t know Lin Yang. Why don’t you ask him what he does?”
Frowning, the groom thought for a moment and said, “He checked when he presented the gift, and the money is genuine. If he’s not an ex-boyfriend, it doesn’t seem he’s here to cause trouble.”
“I don’t understand!” The bride exclaimed. “Even if he’s just attending the banquet, there’s no need to be so generous. I need to talk to him and find out what he wants!”
However, the groom’s younger brother added suspiciously, “Brother, why don’t you take a look? Many people in the live broadcast room talk about Lin Yang as if they all know each other!”
At this revelation, everyone present, including the groom and the bride, rushed to the phone to scrutinise the barrage in astonishment.
[Lin Yang fans came to help, wishing the bride and groom a happy marriage for a hundred years and a happy new love!!] [Lin Yang fans came to help, wishing the bride and groom a happy marriage for a hundred years and a happy new love!!] [I just like to see the groom’s bewildered face. He thought he was lucky today. So many people saw it!] [Damn it! Who is this Lin Yang? His fans blew up the live broadcast room! Hundreds of thousands of people, this is too scary!]
….
After watching the barrage, the groom and bride exchanged shocked looks, finally understanding the unexpected surge in live broadcast viewers—it wasn’t for them but for Lin Yang. Realising he was also an anchor with significantly higher popularity, their curiosity about Lin Yang’s identity deepened.
“Honey, are you sure you don’t know this, Lin Yang? Think about it!” The groom urged.
Qin Xue insisted, “I told you, I really don’t know him!”
After contemplating, the groom concluded, “Forget about it. From the current perspective, he doesn’t seem to have any malicious intentions. Otherwise, the netizens wouldn’t be sending blessings. Watch me when we go out to toast later.”
In the banquet hall, various delicious dishes adorned the tables. Lin Yang was surrounded by a table full of girls, savouring the finer tastes and enjoying his meal without concern for others’ opinions. The bridesmaids joked around, steering clear of the previous car conversation.
Forty minutes later, with all dishes served, the groom, dressed in a suit with red flowers, and the bride, adorned in a red gown with a phoenix crown, followed the wine-pouring waiter. Observing traditional rituals, they first worshipped the Lord and then their parents’ table, followed by leaders, elders, and friends.
Surprisingly, after offering wine to the Lord, the bride and groom went straight to the bridesmaids’ table. As the parents were about to remind them, the groom approached Lin Yang with a wine glass.
“Brother Lin Yang, it’s splendid for you to attend my wedding. I’ll toast you first!” He declared, drinking the entire glass in one go, followed by the bride.
The unexpected move stunned everyone, especially the bridesmaids. The bride and groom skipped respecting their leaders and elders to toast the wedding car driver. Was it because of the generous 18,000 gift? Surprised by the attention, Lin Yang politely declined the drink, citing his role as the driver.
The curious bride, Qin Xue, finally asked Lin Yang about the unusual situation. “Handsome guy, I don’t seem to know you. Why claim to be a friend of my mother’s family and give such a generous gift?”
Lin Yang smiled, “I’m rich. Isn’t that a good reason?” The revelation left everyone intrigued, eagerly awaiting more details.
As a result, a sudden sentence emerged. Phantom missive! Yet, Lin Yang declined to speak. The bride was hesitant to inquire. Just as a few people were conversing, the groom’s parents approached. They swiftly pulled their son aside.
“Liang Fei, what’s going on? Don’t go to the VIP table. Come here. If you upset them, I’ll see how it ends for you.”
The groom shook his head helplessly and said, “Parents, you don’t understand. Lin Yang is much more important than those leaders!”
“Why? Because you received $18,000? That was for your family. What does it have to do with you?”
“No, it’s not about the money! Let me tell you, if I have a celebrity at my wedding, do you think it’s prestigious?”
The groom’s parents were shocked, “A celebrity?”
“No… but it’s similar. If I tell you my wedding has over 100,000 viewers, would you believe me?”
The groom’s parents were shocked! Hundreds of thousands of people! What a concept! It was equivalent to inviting a whole town to watch their family wedding.
The older generation values reputation, especially in grand weddings. They want to outshine others. But having so many people watching their wedding was unexpected, all thanks to Lin Yang!
Lin Yang brought prestige and propelled the son’s live broadcast from 1,000 to 100,000 viewers. Although the number was exaggerated, it guarantees a larger audience next time. Lin Yang’s gift was not just $18,000. It’s the family’s reputation and the son’s future.
The groom’s father regrets, “Why didn’t you say it earlier? Arrange him at our table!”
“Now, toast to other tables. I’ll accompany him here, go!”
The groom nods, and his parents thank Lin Yang: “Thanks for coming to my son’s wedding. This first cup, thanks for your time!”
“This second cup, thanks for your generous gift!”
“This third cup, thanks for giving the Liang family great prestige!”
Everyone was stunned. Who is Lin Yang? Why are even the groom’s parents toasting him?
Lin Yang was puzzled. He came for a gift and a meal, not expecting such attention.
The bride’s father, learning about the situation, was astonished: “Why didn’t you say it earlier? Representing our family, stealing the limelight from the in-laws. What can I say!”
He picked up a glass, rushing to Lin Yang: “My daughter never mentioned your situation. I’ll punish myself with three cups!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Lin Yang was utterly confused. What did he do?
