1 Rooster Replacing the Groom?

"The bride is here!" A wave of enthusiastic shouting echoed through the street along with a salute.

At this moment, a limited-edition Silbe Tuatara stopped in front of an old house. The house was fully decorated in red and was extremely festive. There was a group of guests standing at the door of the old house. Everyone was beaming and fighting to see the bride through the car window. It was the wedding of the eldest grandson of the Li family, the richest family in City W. It was a traditional and lively Chinese wedding.

As the crowd cheered, Xia Chenxing got out of the car. She was wearing a red veil and a bright red Chinese style skirt. A gust of wind revealed the phoenix crown under the veil. The phoenix crown and dress were a matching set. She was as graceful as an ancient empress. But even so, there was no groom to greet her at the door. She did not care. The procedures for a Chinese wedding were complicated and there were many rules and etiquette. Xia Chenxing was already tired of it. She had exhausted her patience to endure it until now.

Although she couldn't see their faces under the red veil, she could see pairs of shoes through the gap. Xia Chenxing couldn't help but sigh. As expected of a wealthy family. Not only were there many people attending the ceremony, but they were also rich. Looking at these pairs of branded shoes, they were really expensive! Just as Xia Chenxing was letting her imagination run wild, she suddenly heard a discussion in the crowd.

"This Xia family is really strange. Not a single family member came to their daughter's wedding. Even if their daughter is not favored, it shouldn't be like this!"

"That's because you don't understand the situation. The Xia family has long wanted to chase this daughter out of the house. I heard that this daughter is very unfilial. She treats her stepmother like a nanny. She usually bullies her biological sister and scolds her younger brother. Xia Zhiguang has long disliked her."

"Yes, yes, yes. I've also heard such rumors. Speaking of which, it's strange. It's all because of Xia Zhiguang. Xia Zhixi is elegant and talented. Why is this Xia Chenxing so unpresentable?"

"What's so strange about that? After all, they weren't born from the same womb. Xia Chenxing must have taken after her mother who died early!"

The two well-dressed ladies were in the middle of a lively discussion, talking and following the crowd, when they suddenly stepped on something round and slippery. Their bodies tilted and they both fell to the ground. When they looked closely, they saw that they had stepped on two jade beads, but neither of them said anything. When no one was looking, they quickly helped each other up and pretended that nothing had happened. They didn't want the news of them making a fool of themselves to spread among the noble ladies tomorrow.

Xia Chenxing's lips curved as she listened to the commotion on the other end. She secretly tucked her hand into her wide sleeve and continued walking. A moment later, she stood in front of Old Madam Li. She had known before the wedding that there was no groom for this wedding. She had heard that Li Ruixu had been in a car accident and was unconscious, so she didn't know if he would wake up. Otherwise, how could her stepmother, Zhuang Meiyu, give her such a good marriage? However, this suited her. She had wanted to leave that family for a long time, and there were conditions for this marriage. Her father, Xia Zhiguang, had already promised to move her mother's memorial tablet into the Xia family's ancestral hall. This was her mother's dying wish, so this wedding was killing two birds with one stone.

At this moment, the emcee looked at his watch and glanced at Old Madam Li. After receiving her approval, he shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived!"

Then, a person stood beside Xia Chenxing with a handsome rooster in his arms. There was a big red flower tied to the rooster's chest. It did not seem to be afraid of anyone. It stretched its neck and began to cry. Its cry was extremely loud and instantly, everyone in the crowd heard it.

Hearing this, all the guests were stunned and began to chatter. What was going on? Even if the groom couldn't be at the wedding, surely he shouldn't be replaced by a rooster? This was ridiculous. It was unheard of!

Xia Chenxing seemed to have thought about this, but this was too strange…

Before anyone could discuss it, the master of ceremonies shouted, "First bow to heaven and earth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chenxing flicked the red veil away. Only then did she really see the majestic rooster beside her. To be honest, this chicken was probably a super handsome rooster in the chicken world. It had a wide crown, shiny metallic fur, beautiful chest lines, and powerful claws. Unfortunately, Xia Chenxing was not a hen…

Xia Chenxing sized up the rooster, but the guests at the scene were sizing her up. Her straight facial features, exquisite makeup, and the red wedding dress made her look especially bright. There was a faint heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and she had an indescribable charm that made people unable to forget her. Many male guests at the scene were stunned.
