But it didn’t stop Leo, he was way too curious to care about anything else.
What he just witnessed somehow defy the story about Susie, all the things of she living as a Buddhist, looking ugly and stuttering when she speaks, he was told.
Were they all just rumors? She just talked to him without stuttering at all.
Leo walked up onto the stage quiet slowly, dying to see how things would go, while everyone else felt nothing but awkwardness.
And there came Susie’s voice again: “We shall continue.”
No way she has problem speaking, and her voice was like a nymph, Leo thought to himself.
“Well…” The priest was in a dilemma hearing the bride’s demand since he was invited by Xie’s family.
“It’s all okay, just listen to her.” Leo smiled to the priest and said.
“May I have your last name, sir? “Clearly the priest knew not who Leo was.
“Jiang, Leo Jiang.”
And the crowd went noisy again.
Leo Jiang, that’s hell of a big bell that rang in everyone’s head. As the leading family of the four families, Jiang’s family had been keeping a tradition that each generation of theirs would have only one child, and till then it was Leo.
So how wealthy and powerful is Jiang’s family? It outplays all the wealth and prestige of three other families combined, and the boss of the Chamber of Commerce is also Leo’s father, Zuwen Jiang.
It was unbelievable for everyone in the hall that it was Leo who just stepped up onto the stage.
