Something’s Wrong

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Today was a big day for the Jiang family and the Zou family. If they made a fool of themselves like the Zhao family, it would definitely not do.

There were already people who wanted to please the Jiang family and were worried that they had no way to do so. They quickly rushed to tell the Jiang family.

When Jiang Yan heard this, he immediately asked someone to take Zhao Lan away. He instructed, “No matter what she says, just tell her and lure her out of the banquet hall.”

He did not want to have to drag anyone. That would ruin the current atmosphere. His sister’s engagement party had to be perfect.

The servant who had been entrusted with this heavy responsibility had worked in the Jiang family for many years and had been taking care of Li Mei. She was known for being smart. After receiving the order, she quickly went to Zhao Lan’s side.

“Miss Zhao, I see that you’re tired. Why don’t we go and rest?” she said slowly.

Zhao Lan shook her head. “No, today is my wedding with Brother Mo Shen. I haven’t exchanged rings with him yet.”

The servant immediately knew what to say next. “Then you should change into your wedding dress now. How can you wear this to exchange rings? There’s not enough time. I’ll bring you to the changing room.”

Zhao Lan looked down at her dress. It was indeed not the gorgeous wedding dress she had imagined. She said anxiously, “Yes, I have to change into the wedding dress. I can’t let Brother Mo Shen wait anxiously.”

She looked around helplessly and was about to go crazy. “Where is Brother Mo Shen? Why don’t I see him?”

The servant caught her in time. “Sir has gone to change into a suit for the wedding. You have to go to the changing room quickly so that you won’t be delayed.”

With her coaxing at the side, Zhao Lan followed obediently. She was only restrained by the other servants when she left the banquet hall.

Jiang Yan got someone to cover her mouth and said, “Tell the Zhao family to bring their young lady back quickly and explain her mental state clearly. Zhao Lan is not welcome at the Jiang family’s banquets in the future.”

Jiang Yan acted as though nothing had happened and returned to the banquet hall to continue greeting the guests.

Zheng Fan, who had come to attend the engagement, was promoting the church with all his might. He said, “Ever since I joined the church, I have no more worries. Interacting with the believers can relieve my mood and make me happy.”

Everyone was a little resistant to this kind of missionary behavior, but because Zheng Fan was the heir of the Zheng family, they could not turn around and leave directly. They listened to him patiently.

Zheng Fan continued, “I’m not spouting nonsense. Previously, I didn’t believe in this either. I felt that it was a lie, but after I went, I realized that people still have to have some faith. Although it’s not helpful in real life, it’s still something to rely on.”

Such a gentle excuse was still acceptable to everyone. Everyone present was rich. They definitely did not lack material resources, but they were extremely lacking in mental strength.

Every day, they were busy thinking about how to make the family better and make the company more profitable. The race would never stop until their deaths. They did not know when they would stop. They really needed mental comfort.

Someone asked, “Do you need to pay a fee to go to your church?”

“The church is a place where believers communicate. No money is allowed. This is disrespectful to the church.” Zheng Fan’s expression became very pious.

Since it had nothing to do with money, everyone let down their guard and began to discuss the matter with Zheng Fan. He described the Church too well, making people yearn for it.

Jiang An saw that many people had gathered together and asked, “Did something happen?”

Zou Yi went to take a look and said, “I think everyone is talking to the young master of the Zheng family.”

“Young Master Zheng?” Jiang An asked. “Is he from the Zheng family in Lin City?”

“That’s him,” Zou Bai said. “He studied abroad for many years before returning to China this year. He’s quite a hot-blooded person. He’s determined that eight horses won’t be able to pull him back.”

Jiang An was puzzled. “Then what did he say to make so many people listen?”

Zou Er, who was left behind, ran back and said, “Young Master Zheng is talking about the Church. It seems to be a private association that helps people with depression.”

Upon hearing the word ‘Church’, Zou Bai’s gaze instantly became sharp. “Is that all?”

“Young Master Zheng only said superficial things. I can’t tell that there’s anything wrong,” Zou Er said. “The association is just the members consoling each other and not collecting money. It sounds more like an activity room.”

Although Zou Er said this, Zou Bai didn’t dare to let his guard down. As long as the Church of Eternal Night existed, they would covet the population of China. If they wanted to open the church here, he definitely couldn’t let this happen.

“Send someone to Lin City to investigate. If there’s anything wrong, make a move immediately,” Zou Bai said coldly.
