Chapter 296 Tearing Up the Marriage Certificate

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Mo and Gu Mingxi ended their trip early and rushed back. Although their original itinerary was not yet over, they changed their plans for Shen Feiwan's wedding on the eighth day.

It just so happened that it was the first day the Civil Affairs Bureau reopened after the Lunar New Year. Lin Xiaoyan had made an appointment to get their marriage certificate on this day before the New Year, and he took Shen Feiwan to complete the marriage procedures early in the morning.

Lin Xiaoyan also meticulously arranged a luncheon, inviting both sets of parents to celebrate the marriage registration together, which also served as a welcome dinner for Shen Mo and his wife.

The road to the restaurant was completely jammed, and the cars didn't budge.

Lin Xiaoyan received a phone call from his father midway through the call.

After hanging up the phone, he turned to Shen Feiwan and said, "My parents are also stuck in traffic. They'll probably be late. I wonder how things are going with the teacher and his wife."

"Let me ask," Shen Feiwan said, dialing Shen Mo's number. "Hey, Dad, where are you now? Is there traffic?"

Lin Xiaoyan leaned closer and could clearly hear Shen Mo's voice on the other end of the phone, "No traffic jam, we've arrived. How about you guys?"

Just as Shen Feiwan was about to answer, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly spoke up, "Put the hands-free on, I'll talk to the teacher."

His tone left no room for argument, and although Shen Feiwan didn't like his current attitude, she still complied.

Lin Xiaoyan immediately smiled and said, "Teacher, Wanwan and I are stuck in traffic. I just spoke with my dad on the phone, and they are also stuck in traffic. It might be a bit of a hassle for you and your wife to wait a little while."

"It's alright, there's still plenty of time." Shen Mo's voice came from the speaker.

Lin Xiaoyan thoughtfully said, "If you're hungry, order something to eat first."

"No need, we'll wait for you all. That's settled then." Shen Mo said, and hung up the phone.

Shen Feiwan put away her phone. Lin Xiaoyan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with a smile. "By the way, do you think I should start calling them Mom and Dad later? After all, legally they are now my parents-in-law."

“That’s up to you,” Shen Feiwan glanced at him, “If you don’t change it today, you’ll have to change it tomorrow.”

Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, "Then you'll have to change how you address my parents when you see them later."

Shen Feiwan had a faint smile on her lips. "My mother-in-law probably won't be happy to hear me call her 'Mom,' but since we're family now, I should still call her that."

"So nice."

Lin Xiaoyan reached out and ruffled Shen Feiwan's hair, but Shen Feiwan didn't move.

The two arrived more than twenty minutes later than expected, by which time Shen Mo, Gu Mingxi, and Shen Xingyan had already finished a pot of tea.

After Lin Xiaoyan came in and apologized, he went to the restroom, leaving only the Shen family in the private room.

Gu Mingxi hadn't been in a good state since she came back, so Shen Feiwan and the others didn't say anything bad about Lin Xiaoyan in front of her.

At this moment, she is genuinely happy for her daughter's wedding.

Seeing Shen Feiwan sit down opposite her, Gu Mingxi immediately asked with a smile, "How did it go? Did the marriage registration go smoothly? Where's the marriage certificate? Show it to us quickly."

"It went very smoothly." Shen Feiwan took out two red booklets from her bag and handed them over.

Gu Mingxi took it and carefully opened the document.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw it. "This photo you took is really beautiful."

She handed the marriage certificate to Shen Mo beside her, saying, "Look at them, a perfect match, isn't that wonderful?"

As she spoke, her gaze returned to Shen Feiwan, her voice filled with relief, "We've finally waited for your wedding day. Now that you're married and have your own little family, you can't be so willful anymore. You have to live a good life with Xiaoyan, understand?"

Just as Shen Feiwan was about to give a perfunctory reply, the half-open door of the private room was suddenly kicked open with a "bang," and a figure rushed in quickly.

Before the seated crowd could even see who had arrived, the marriage certificate in Shen Mo's hand was snatched away and shattered into pieces with a few tearing sounds.

After tearing up this book, the person turned around and went to grab another one from the coffee table.

Shen Feiwan watched coldly without making a move, but Gu Mingxi immediately reached out to protect her.

Gu Mingxi gripped the marriage certificate tightly and looked up, only then realizing that the person who had come was Lin Xiaoyan's mother, Ye Wanjie.

Her fingers trembled with anger. "Ms. Ye! What are you doing! Tomorrow, both of your children are getting married and will be a family. What are you doing here to cause trouble?"

Ye Wanjie glared angrily, her long manicured fingers almost poking Gu Mingxi's face. "Who said we're family? Your whole family are bloodsuckers, shameless liars! Give me the marriage certificate! Today, I'm going to tear this thing to shreds in front of your entire family! Your family is not worthy of marrying my son!"

Ye Wanjie was very agitated and cursed, spitting everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Shen Mo immediately protected his wife, pulling Gu Mingxi behind him.

He frowned, trying to reason with Ye Wanjie, "In-law, today is supposed to be a joyous occasion, so please speak calmly and don't get so agitated."

Ye Wanjie became even angrier upon hearing this, turning her finger to point at Shen Mo's nose, "Heh, good days, what a load of rubbish! You're no better off, your whole family has problems, and your son and daughter aren't any better either. Your son and wife were arrested, and your daughter is a slut who doesn't respect herself. Bah! My son was bewitched by your vixen daughter to choose to marry her..."

Before Ye Wanjie could finish speaking, her arm was slapped hard by Shen Feiwan's bag.

Ye Wanjie winced in pain, then whirled around and glared at Shen Feiwan, "You dare touch me!"

Shen Feiwan's eyes were icy cold. "If you dare to point at my parents like that, I dare to hit you like this!"

Ye Wanjie was so angry that she trembled all over. "I think you have no manners at all. Has no one taught you to respect your elders? Besides, I am your mother-in-law."

Shen Feiwan sneered, "Then do you want to listen to what you're saying? One minute you're saying I'm not good enough for your son, the next you're saying you're my mother-in-law, so what exactly do you want? Why did you come here to cause trouble for no reason? What are you after?"

Ye Wanjie's face twisted with rage. "You shameless slut! You've kept the entire Lin family in the dark! You were married in Nancheng and still dare to seduce my son? You whore! You filthy slut!"

She suddenly grabbed a water glass from the table and splashed it at Shen Feiwan.

Shen Feiwan dodged to the side, but her sleeves were still splashed with water.

"How could my son possibly fall for someone like you, a secondhand commodity!" Ye Wanjie screamed hysterically. "Someone like you, used and discarded..."

"mom!"

A sharp shout suddenly came from the doorway.

Lin Xiaoyan strode in and shielded Shen Feiwan behind him. His suit was soaked with water, and his face was terribly gloomy.

"What are you doing?" His voice was very low, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Upon seeing her son, Ye Wanjie's imposing manner softened somewhat, but she quickly regained her temper and shouted, "Xiao Yan! Do you even know who Shen Feiwan is?"

“I know,” Lin Xiaoyan interrupted Ye Wanjie before she could finish speaking. “I know more about her situation than you do.”

"What did you say? Are we talking about the same thing?" Ye Wanjie was almost out of breath. "You already knew she was married?"

"Yes." Lin Xiaoyan pulled Shen Feiwan behind him even closer to protect her. "I've always known that I was the one who proposed first."

"You..." Ye Wanjie's face turned deathly pale instantly. "You're insane! This kind of rotten woman..."

"Enough!" Lin Xiaoyan suddenly raised his voice, "Mom, please watch your words. Shen Feiwan is my wife now."
