"It's definitely too late to inform Uncle Lin now. Miaomiao and I will go. We'll attend as members of the Lin family. Taojing, you need to make sure we can get into the wedding banquet. Otherwise, no matter how capable we are, we won't be able to stop this wedding from taking place."
Wei Ziqi's mind was working extremely fast. After hearing this news, he immediately came up with a plan.
Hearing this, Taojing's previously dim eyes lit up again. Actually, when she came to find Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi, she didn't hold out much hope. This was just her last resistance against fate. In fact, when she thought about it carefully, she didn't think there was anything that could stop this wedding banquet from going on.
But unexpectedly, Wei Ziqi seemed to really have a way.
"No problem. I'll take you to get made up right now. Later, I'll just say you're my classmates and friends. It'll be no problem for us to get into the banquet hall."
"Then let's hurry. We must have wasted a lot of time here. Usually, wedding banquets are held at noon. There's probably only about an hour left. Wait for us a bit. There's no need to deliberately get made up or change clothes. We have them here. I'll take Miaomiao to change clothes first."
Wei Ziqi glanced at his watch. It was already almost half past ten. There wasn't much time for them to prepare. Fortunately, his father had ordered a suit for him last time for some unknown reason. And Miaomiao had that girlish pink tulle dress that Lin Yao had stuffed in for dressing up his daughter. Although it wasn't a proper banquet dress, it could still pass for a while. They were young, so even if they didn't have elaborate makeup, no one would blame them. It could be considered formal attire.
Wei Ziqi took Miaomiao back to the room and rummaged through everything before finally finding that pink dress. This dress didn't match Miaomiao's aesthetic at all, so it had always been at the bottom of the wardrobe. Who would have thought she would wear it one day.
After finding the dress for Miaomiao, Wei Ziqi returned to his own room, put on his suit, tidied himself up a bit, grabbed Miaomiao and quickly went out to meet Taojing.
The three of them went to the hotel where the wedding banquet was held together. When they reached the hotel entrance, they could already see all kinds of luxury cars parked outside. It seemed that most of the guests had already arrived.
"Hello, please show your wedding invitation."
The waiter at the door stopped the three kids and said with a gentle smile.
"I'm the bride's niece. These two are my classmates. Here's my invitation."
Taojing calmly took out the wedding invitation from her handbag and handed it over. The invitations for honored guests, immediate family members, distant relatives and ordinary guests were all different. Such invitations made it convenient for the hotel staff to distinguish the identities of the guests attending the wedding banquet and arrange the seats more effectively.
After the waiter confirmed that it was an invitation representing an immediate family member, he didn't say a word and led the three kids into the banquet hall. He thoughtfully arranged seats for them.
The three kids looked very young. Since they were brought by an immediate family member, they must not be troublemakers. So the waiter didn't have any doubts at all. He just thought that Taojing was very enthusiastic and had brought her good friends to attend the wedding banquet of her relative.
Inside the banquet hall, the Tao family members were all busy greeting the guests. No one noticed the three kids who deliberately hid themselves and quietly slipped into the hall.
Since entering the door, Wei Ziqi hadn't done anything. He was as calm as a normal guest invited to attend the wedding. Taojing felt a bit guilty and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
"Not do anything for now. We'll talk after the wedding banquet starts. We haven't even seen the bride yet. Aren't you afraid that when we cause trouble, your family will just transfer the bride to another place and make it a done deal?"
Wei Ziqi replied in a low voice, his lips barely moving. He was smiling brightly and nodding to the people around him. Even if he didn't know them, it was a matter of etiquette to say hello when they met.
Wei Ziqi behaved like a real elegant young nobleman. As long as Miaomiao didn't talk, do things or fight, there would be a peaceful and gentle aura around her. She looked like a gentle young lady from a scholarly family. No one suspected these two kids who no one knew.
Seeing that they were both so calm, Taojing inexplicably felt more at ease. When she met an acquaintance, she would go up and greet them familiarly, quietly waiting for the official start of the wedding banquet.
After getting along for so long, Taojing also knew something about Wei Ziqi. He had an extremely high IQ and was very reliable in handling things. An ordinary person's mind simply couldn't outwit him or figure him out. So if he wasn't worried, it meant he really had a way.
Finally, it was time for the wedding to start. The seats where the guests sat were arranged according to certain rules. Adults and kids were seated separately and the distance between them was quite far. So the people in the Tao family who had met Miaomiao before didn't notice her arrival.
The music slowly started playing. The host was saying a long speech about the couple tying the knot. Every guest's face was filled with a happy smile. But when it came to the part of welcoming the bride, everyone's expressions froze.
At the entrance where the bride was supposed to enter, Tao Jingying was wearing a wedding dress, tied up tightly with ropes, her eyes blindfolded and her mouth gagged. Such a scene at a wedding banquet was really creepy. No one had ever seen a wedding like this.
The host probably didn't expect the bride to appear in such a special way. He was so anxious that he couldn't think of any words to save the situation. In the end, he had no choice but to bravely continue with the wedding process.
The whole wedding banquet was filled with a strange atmosphere. It was true that there were quite a few families' daughters who didn't want to marry the person they were engaged to and had resisted very fiercely. But even if they resisted fiercely, their families would do some ideological work in advance. Tying someone up like this was really not presentable. The Tao family was really not caring about either their dignity or their reputation. They were determined to form an alliance with the Lu family.
When Taojing saw her little aunt in this state, being carried and pushed onto the stage like a criminal about to be executed, she was so anxious that she wanted to stand up and stop it. Usually, although her little aunt didn't communicate with her much, she had always been very good to her whenever they met. She could be considered the person who was the kindest to her in the Tao family besides her late mother.
If she didn't stand up and say a few words for her little aunt at this time, she would really think she was a useless person who didn't know how to repay kindness.
"Wait."
Seeing that Taojing and Miaomiao were both eager to act, Wei Ziqi quickly pressed down on their wrists.
"My little aunt is already in that state. How much longer do we have to wait?"
Taojing's eyes were red with anger. She was so excited that she wanted to shout, but still lowered her voice considering the occasion.
"May I ask the bride, do you want to marry the gentleman beside you?"
