The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

"Shut up!!"

Qiao Shouguo slammed his teacup on the table with a loud bang, pointed at Qin Fangfang's nose, and growled angrily, "Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough today?! You have two fine children, shamelessly sleeping together, the wedding is off, and you even held a lavish incestuous banquet in the yard!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead throbbed: "You've already lost all shame, and you expect others to give you any respect?! If your son hadn't done such a beastly thing, would anyone have left without even giving you a kind look?!"

The more Qiao Shouguo talked, the sadder he felt.

He came from a good family and was quick-witted. Taking advantage of the reform and opening-up policy, he started a business and made a fortune. In the city, everyone called him Boss Qiao. But now, because of the dirty deeds of this brat, his old face has been completely ruined and can't be picked up again!

"Alright!" Qiao Shouguo waved his hand impatiently, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. "We'll see this afternoon. We'll see how many people come. We shouldn't beg those who don't come, but we'll treat those who do well. Go to the hotel later and say a few nice words to them, and order a few tables of food for dinner to be delivered over..."

Having said that, he hunched over, not even glancing at the newlyweds in their red wedding gowns in the courtyard, and staggered towards the house: "I'm tired, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while..."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Inside the city's most prestigious hotel, however, lay a completely different scene.

The Zhou family spared no expense for their only son Zhou Liguang's wedding.

Zhou Zejun spent a huge sum of money to book the hotel's most luxurious and largest banquet hall, number one.

The banquet hall was decorated with dazzling lights. The large crystal chandelier on the ceiling illuminated the entire hall, and the walls were covered with fresh flowers flown in from the air. The walls were covered with bright red "double happiness" characters, exuding a festive yet extremely solemn atmosphere.

All thirty tables were occupied!

More people came today than expected. Besides Zhou's close relatives, there were many more of Zhou Zejun's old comrades-in-arms and colleagues from the army, and even several former leaders from the military region showed their respect by attending in person.

Zhou Liguang's sworn brothers from the army and his comrades who could get leave were all sitting neatly below, making the hall lively and bustling.

But the atmosphere in the banquet hall, which should have been filled with joy, was strange.

Because the groom's father, Zhou Zejun, standing on the stage, had a terribly gloomy expression on his face.

He was wearing a perfectly pressed dark gray Zhongshan suit, and his hair was neatly combed.

He stood in front of the microphone, took a deep breath, and his sharp eyes swept over the large group of guests below the stage.

"Hey, feed." He patted the microphone.

"Dear relatives and friends, esteemed former leaders and comrades-in-arms," ​​Zhou Zejun's deep and resonant voice echoed throughout the hall through the speakers, "thank you all for gracing my son Zhou Liguang's wedding today."

The audience immediately responded with enthusiastic applause.

Zhou Zejun raised his hand expressionlessly and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"I invited everyone here today so that you could witness my son's important life event." Zhou Zejun paused, his jaw muscles taut, and said, word by word, "However, there's a problem now."

"This marriage... is off."

Upon hearing this, there was a deathly silence in the audience. Then, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured into a hot oil pan, the entire place erupted in chaos!

"What's going on? It's not getting married?!"

"The banquet was all set up, and all the relatives and friends have arrived. How can it be canceled so suddenly?"

"What happened? Is the Zhou family in some kind of trouble?"

Zhou Zejun stood on the stage and waited quietly for a minute. Only after the buzzing from the audience subsided a little did he grip the microphone again.

"But!" His voice suddenly rose, carrying the decisiveness unique to soldiers, "It is an honor for me, Zhou, that you all could grace us with your presence, and I am deeply grateful! This meal is a must! Consider it my shameless apology to you all! After the banquet, we will return every penny of your gifts to you according to the list of names on the gift register!"

"Old Zhou! What happened?! Give us the inside scoop!" A straightforward old comrade-in-arms in the audience couldn't help but stand up and shout.

Zhou Zejun took a deep breath, a flash of undisguised disgust and contempt in his eyes, and his voice boomed across the room:

"Because Qiao Mingzhu, the adopted daughter of the Qiao family and today's bride-to-be, slept in the same bed with her elder brother, Qiao Lijun, the night before the wedding!"

A collective gasp rippled through the audience, and several women who were drinking tea were so shocked that they spat out their tea.

"That's not all!" Zhou Zejun sneered, his voice ringing with conviction. "After the incident, the Qiao family showed no remorse. They even tried to kidnap their newly found biological daughter, intending to force her into a substitute marriage to complete this wedding!"

He slammed his fist on the podium, his voice booming with fury: "Our Zhou family, though not wealthy or powerful, will absolutely not allow such a promiscuous and shameless woman to marry into our family! We will certainly not do anything as immoral as forcing women into marriage or arranging for them!"

Zhou Zejun bowed deeply to the audience. When he straightened up, his gaze was open and honest. "Although this wedding can't take place, everyone has come from afar, so please eat and drink well today! Don't let the Qiao family's rotten deeds spoil our enjoyment of this gathering! Serve the food!"

Silence, deathly silence.

In the vast banquet hall, the buzzing greetings that had been going on just moments before seemed to be instantly cleaved in two by an invisible blade.

You can hear even a single chopstick falling to the ground clearly.

Then, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a pot of boiling oil—

With a deafening roar, the entire banquet hall erupted in a cacophony powerful enough to lift the roof off!

"What?! With his own older brother?! Even if he's not his biological brother, he's been calling him 'brother' for twenty years! This... this is too disgusting!" A middle-aged woman with curly hair was so shocked that she dropped the melon seeds in her hand on the ground and shouted in a shrill voice.

"My God! I've met those siblings before! I genuinely thought they were just close siblings, who knew they'd be doing such despicable things behind my back!"

"Pah! What kind of despicable couple are they! What kind of trash are they?!" A hot-tempered man slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups clink. "Zhou Liguang is a war hero who was wounded in the line of duty! How dare the Qiao family treat him like this?!"

At the main table, several elderly men with gray hair, dressed in Zhongshan suits, trembled with rage, pointing at Zhou Zejun on the stage and shouting, "Zejun! You're just going to let this go?! The Qiao family is utterly trampling on the reputation of our Zhou family and our military!"

"Exactly! The Qiao family is utterly despicable, completely devoid of conscience! Just say the word, Old Zhou, and our entire Zhou family of dozens of people will definitely avenge you and Li Guang!"

"This is outrageous! Do they really think the Zhou family is made of clay and easy to bully?! Zejun, you absolutely cannot let them get away with this!"

Faced with the angry denunciations from the crowd below, Zhou Zejun, standing on the stage, turned ashen-faced.

How could he possibly swallow this insult?! It's so humiliating! It's an absolute disgrace!

Zhou Zejun spent most of his life in the military, and before retiring, he was a soldier. The friendships and reputation he built through countless battles were all trampled underfoot by the Qiao family, these beasts! He only had one son, Li Guang. Yes, his son's leg was injured, but it was for the country and for the people that he took the bullet!

He's proud!

He was incredibly proud to have raised such a strong and resilient son! Besides, Li Guang's leg had already been healed, but he was just keeping it a secret from outsiders!

He needed to remain calm and make sure that all the leaders, comrades, relatives, and friends present today could clearly see that the Zhou family was the complete victim!
