"Who gave you permission to call her Linlin? She's my wife; who else would she marry but me?" Mei Peng roared, stepping in front of Liu Lin to block Wei Chao’s gaze.

Wei Chao was equally furious. "Linlin is my wife! Why shouldn't I call her that? You're the one who’s the interloper here."

Mei Peng froze at that, turning to look at Liu Lin. "Linlin, what is going on here?"

Liu Lin was completely bewildered, shaking her head. "Don't believe him. I don't even know him. How could I possibly be his wife?"

"Wei Chao, today is my big day. I might have said some harsh things to you before—that was my fault, and I apologize. So please, don't ruin my wedding today," Mei Peng assumed Wei Chao was here for revenge over past mockery and quickly apologized, terrified the scene would disrupt the ceremony.

"Xiao Wei, that's enough. Number Two is getting married today; don't take things too far," Liu Hui also interjected.

"No... she really is my wife. What do I have to say for you all to believe me?" Wei Chao stomped his feet in desperation.

"You're talking nonsense! I've never seen you. How can I be your wife? You must have me mistaken for someone else!" Liu Lin was furious. This lunatic crashing her wedding and claiming to be her husband made her extremely unhappy.

"Your name is Liu Lin, your hometown is Maliu Tuo Town in Bashan, and you are twenty-four years old today. You are an only daughter. You started primary school at six and a half; the school was called Chaoyang Primary School. Your middle school was Shibao Middle School, and you graduated from Bashan Medical University. You are one meter sixty-five tall and weigh forty-seven kilograms." Wei Chao listed basic facts about Liu Lin.

"Anyone could find that information out with a quick search. Stop showing off," Mei Peng sneered dismissively.

"Fine, you forced my hand. Linlin has a crescent-shaped birthmark on her left breast, a mole on her buttock, and she occasionally grinds her teeth when she sleeps," Wei Chao gritted his teeth and continued.

"Shut up, you pervert! When did you start spying on us?" Upon hearing Wei Chao's words, Mei Peng was instantly enraged, while Liu Lin’s face turned scarlet with shame.

"Spying on you? Rubbish! Linlin is my wife, so naturally, I know these things. Also, Linlin likes to sleep on her stomach, she prefers squatting over using the toilet, her wish is to travel to the Maldives, and her cooking is a bit too salty. Do you think I could spy all that out?" Wei Chao roared back in agitation.

"You stop talking! I don't know how you know these private details about me, but I don't know you and have never met you. I am getting married right now, so please leave. If you're looking for entertainment, go find someone else," Liu Lin felt momentarily stunned as Wei Chao revealed secrets so intimate. Fearing Mei Peng would overthink things, she tried to usher Wei Chao away.

"Linlin, have you forgotten those sweet days we shared? You used to cook and wash clothes for me, take care of the child—we supported each other through everything. How happy we were then! We even swore to be together for eternity," Wei Chao seemed not to hear Liu Lin, speaking only with a dazed obsession.

"You lunatic, get out of here right now; you are not welcome here! Look clearly, today is my wedding with Linlin," Mei Peng grabbed Liu Lin's hand, waved it in front of Wei Chao, showing off the wedding ring.

"Linlin, do you know I went to your hometown looking for you? But your neighbors said you had moved long ago. I kept searching, but I never got any news of you. Why did you move? Why did you cut off contact with me? If you hadn't moved, we would be together now," Wei Chao continued, his voice escalating into a final roar.

Liu Hui stepped forward, grabbing the collar of Wei Chao’s shirt and dragging him closer. "Enough! This is Number Two's big day; I don't want you ruining their festive atmosphere."

"Brother Liu, you have to believe me! We really are husband and wife," Wei Chao pleaded mournfully.

"She's never even met you, how could she be your wife?" Liu Hui questioned.

"We... we were husband and wife in a past life," Wei Chao confessed.

"Nonsense! A couple in a past life? You can even say that out loud? Who remembers anything from a past life?" Mei Peng complained.

"Xiao Wei, you need to calm down. Even if you were married in a past life, you only remember details from Liu Lin's current life. That makes no sense on any rational level," Liu Hui tried to reason with him.

"This... I can't explain it all to you right now. All I know is she is my wife. And it's not just that; I know even more intimate things. Liu Lin prefers to be on top during intimacy, and she scratches people when..." In his haste, Wei Chao let slip words he shouldn't have.

"Ah..." Liu Lin's face went ashen, and she instantly screamed.

"You... in that case, don't blame me for disregarding any prior bond between us," Liu Hui was also furious. Seeing Liu Lin's terrified scream, he suspected Wei Chao was telling the truth. Though he didn't know how Wei Chao knew these secrets, he knew he couldn't let him stay. He grabbed Wei Chao and dragged him out, immediately regretting bringing him to see Liu Lin.

"Brother Liu, you must believe me! Everything I said is true. They cannot be together; they cannot marry! Linlin is mine!" Wei Chao struggled desperately but couldn't break free from Liu Hui's grip, shouting continuously in distress.

Liu Hui, his face grim, dragged Wei Chao to the main entrance and threw him out. He said coldly, "Mr. Wei, please excuse yourself. You are not welcome here."

The group of women rushed forward to help Wei Chao up. Whether from pain or other reasons, tears welled up in his eyes. "Brother Liu, you must believe me, Liu Lin is truly my wife, and she cannot marry Mei Peng. You have to help me."

Liu Hui snorted. "I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense. Wei Chao, you intentionally tried to sabotage my brother's wedding today. From this day forward, I am no longer your big brother. Leave."

Seeing that everything was beyond repair, Wei Chao’s face darkened too. "If Mei Peng marries Liu Lin today, I will be sworn enemies with him. This feud will never be erased."

"If you are sworn enemies with him, you are sworn enemies with me. I will wait for whatever you plan to do," Liu Hui stated coldly.

"Hmph, let’s go. Mei Peng, remember what I said today," Wei Chao threatened Mei Peng fiercely as he was helped away by his entourage. His departing figure looked strangely desolate, yet the threat was unmistakable.

The wedding guests were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why Wei Chao had arrived happily only to storm out in anger, even severing ties with Liu Hui in the process. Some guests with ulterior motives started calculating their next moves and quietly followed Wei Chao out.

The second-generation young masters from the several influential families were also stunned and unsure of how to proceed.

"Second Brother Li, what should we do?" Miss He Liu whispered.

"We came to attend the wedding, so naturally, we should continue attending the wedding," Second Young Master Li, the eldest among them and the most composed, immediately understood what needed to be done.

Only Luo Yufeng remained silent throughout the entire ordeal, but his expression suggested he supported Liu Hui.

Liu Hui turned back to the guests and smiled. "Everyone, I apologize. That was just a small misunderstanding. The wedding is about to begin shortly. Please bear with us for a few moments; the bride and groom will be out soon."

After speaking, Liu Hui went into the dressing room. Liu Lin was weeping inside, and Mei Peng sat nearby, seemingly lost in thought.

"Number Two, Linlin, you two need to freshen up; the time is almost here," Liu Hui said cheerfully.

"Boss, you have to believe me. I really don't know that Wei Chao, and there’s no way I could have any relationship with him," Liu Lin cried.

"Linlin, I believe you. That Wei Chao must have been spouting nonsense. Number Two, why aren't you saying anything?" Liu Hui asked Mei Peng.

"Boss, naturally, I believe Linlin, but everything that wicked man Wei said was true, so I'm a bit unsettled about what to do," Mei Peng seemed uncomfortable. His wife’s most secret intimate details had been revealed by another man, which left him feeling deeply strange.

"Number Two, I don't care what Wei Chao said. All I know is today is your and Linlin's big day. You overcame many hardships to finally be together—it proves true love in adversity. Moreover, Linlin is pregnant with your child. Many people envy you. Are all those things less important than a few words spoken by an outsider?" Liu Hui spoke seriously.

Mei Peng suddenly slapped his forehead. "Right! That wicked man Wei must have been resentful about my usual sarcasm and deliberately tried to get revenge today. How could I let that perv ruin my good mood? I can't fall for his trick!"

"Then what are you still standing here for?" Liu Hui tapped Mei Peng's head and glanced toward Liu Lin's position.

Mei Peng understood immediately, walked over, and solicitously took Liu Lin’s hand. "Uh, Linlin, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have doubted you..."

Watching Mei Peng begin to comfort Liu Lin, Liu Hui smiled and exited the dressing room. However, although he appeared unconcerned on the surface, a knot remained in his heart. The incident today was too unusual. Wei Chao wouldn't crash the event without reason; after all, the women around him were far more beautiful than Liu Lin, so it couldn't be about her looks, and Wei Chao’s tone hadn't sounded like an act. Causing such a scene would bring embarrassment upon himself, yet he did it anyway. Could there be some massive hidden implication behind all this?

However, Liu Hui currently possessed too little information to draw any solid conclusions. He returned to the main hall, where the guests were buzzing with discussion. As soon as they saw him approach, the chatter stopped immediately.

"Young Master Hui, what's the situation?" Second Young Master Li and his friends approached.

"Heh heh, nothing, just a small misunderstanding," Liu Hui chuckled.

"Young Master Hui, seeing how you and Young Master Wei ended up... is there any chance of reconciliation?" Young Master Huo asked cautiously.

"Whether reconciliation is possible isn't up to me; it's up to him," Liu Hui offered a cryptic reply.

The group then dispersed, no longer pressing the matter. Only Second Young Master Li remained by Liu Hui's side.

"Oh, Second Brother Li, does Wei Chao’s business portfolio include the film and entertainment industry?" Liu Hui suddenly recalled something.

"Young Master Wei has many ventures, including a film and entertainment company named Huang Emperor Entertainment," Second Young Master Li replied.

"Do you know a celebrity named Ouyang Shafei? Is she with Huang Emperor?" Liu Hui inquired.

"That Ouyang Shafei isn't with Huang Emperor; she's signed with Ying Emperor. Young Master Hui, why do you ask? Are you thinking of backing her?" Second Young Master Li was also fond of young starlets and was dating one himself, so he knew a bit more about the entertainment circle.

"Heh heh, nothing much, just curious, asking randomly," Liu Hui smiled.

The auspicious time finally arrived, and Mei Peng and Liu Lin finally emerged. Mei Peng had returned to normal, beaming with happiness, though the traces of tears on Liu Lin's face could not be completely concealed by her smile.

Mei Peng and Liu Lin had a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony, and under the blessings of their parents, they officially became husband and wife. At Liu Hui's instruction, the executives from Xingkong Group deliberately started a lively atmosphere during the banquet, momentarily making the guests forget the unpleasantness that had just occurred.

After the ceremony came the reception. Mei Peng and Liu Lin toasted the tables one by one, but their alcohol tolerance couldn't handle such a large affair. Thus, Liu Hui, as their elder brother, began drinking on their behalf. Possessing spatial storage, Liu Hui once again demonstrated what it meant to be immune to alcohol, leaving the guests marveling.

After everyone was well-fed and watered, the guests began to take their leave. Liu Hui saw them off one by one, fully embodying the warmth of a host. Second Young Master Li and his circle also departed quickly, eager to return home and report the events between Liu Hui and Wei Chao to their respective patriarchs. Only Luo Yufeng and Wang Yuyan remained.

"Young Master Luo, do you have something to discuss with me?" Seeing Luo Yufeng stay behind, Liu Hui guessed he had business to attend to.

"Yes, Young Master Hui, I do have a matter to discuss with you," Luo Yufeng confirmed.

"Then follow me," Liu Hui knew Luo Yufeng wouldn't seek him out without a reason.

In Liu Hui's office, the two sat down; Wang Yuyan remained outside.

"Young Master Luo, what warrants such a personal visit? You could have just sent a message through an intermediary," Liu Hui asked.

"Young Master Hui, it’s like this: our Luo family has an inside contact within the Guo family. This contact discovered something in the past couple of days that I believe might be related to you, so I came in person," Luo Yufeng stated seriously.

"What could possibly involve me?" Seeing Luo Yufeng's grave expression, Liu Hui felt a sense of foreboding.

"Here is the situation: my contact reported that two AIDS patients were admitted to Bashan Han Tang Hospital more than a week ago, and they still have not been discharged," Luo Yufeng explained.

Liu Hui’s heart skipped a beat; he realized the very thing he feared had finally arrived. He feigned ignorance. "They are just patients who haven't been discharged. Is there a problem with that?"

"Young Master Hui, you know better than anyone that the maximum stay for AIDS treatment at Han Tang Hospital is three days. Yet, they have been there for over a week. Doesn't that indicate an issue?" Luo Yufeng pressed.

"Well... perhaps the patients enjoy the hospital's facilities and simply wish to stay a few extra days," Liu Hui scratched his head.

"Young Master Hui, don't test my intelligence. If it were just the patients refusing to leave, that wouldn't be conclusive. The crucial point is that Han Tang Hospital has stopped accepting new admission requests for AIDS patients. Doesn't that signal a problem?" Luo Yufeng countered.

Liu Hui slapped the table, feigning intense anger. "These bastards! They must be trying to hike up the prices again. They are deliberately creating a climate of tension to pave the way for a price increase. How could Han Tang Hospital degenerate to this level? Learning from shameless companies like Huaxia Grid and Huaxia Oil!"

"Well, Young Master Hui, have you considered another possibility?" Luo Yufeng asked helplessly.

"What possibility?" Liu Hui thought his pretense of ignorance was convincing enough for an acting role.

"The possibility that Han Tang Hospital itself has a problem, and they are currently unable to treat AIDS patients," Luo Yufeng suggested.

"How is that possible?" Liu Hui put on a show of shock.
