Meanwhile, upstairs in the Huang Yan Wedding Banquet Hall, members of the Huang family were immersed in an atmosphere of smug triumph, completely unaware that an even greater disaster was quietly approaching.
The banquet hall was magnificently decorated. High-ceilinged golden chandeliers cast a brilliant glow that reflected off the pristine marble floors, creating a luxurious sheen. Large red double-happiness characters hung on the walls, and the tables were laden with delicacies—abalone, bird's nest, and sea cucumber in all their variety. The air was thick with the rich aromas of fine wine and sumptuous dishes. Guests clinked glasses amidst a chorus of flattery, filling the entire hall with noise and celebration.
Huang Yan sat at the groom's table. A well-tailored white suit accentuated his high spirits, and a look of vindictive satisfaction hung on his face. He picked up his wine glass, gently swirling the red wine inside, and swept his gaze across the crowded room, feeling immensely pleased with himself. He leaned in close to the bride's ear and whispered, "This wedding turned out brilliantly, and we managed to mess up that bunch downstairs along the way. It feels so good!"
