The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 853 - 275: The Wedding Interrupted by an Unexpected Guest
Song Qiao looked at her but smiled without saying anything.
She actually understood Ning Wan’s feelings. Xi Mohan had hurt her so deeply back then, and now it’s indeed time to let go completely.
But now it seems that Xi Mohan has developed feelings for Ning Wan, which could be a bit troublesome.
Thinking of this, Song Qiao’s face darkened slightly.
Apart from Ning Wan, one of the bridesmaids was an artist that Song Qiao had managed for a while before, with a very beautiful name, Nan Zheng.
Nan Zheng had a good relationship with her, and now this girl has become a second-tier artist in the entertainment industry. She’s still quite young, with a good temperament, but she hadn’t received any good scripts before, so she still has a lot of room for development.
The agent currently managing this girl is quite well-known in their company, so Song Qiao is still optimistic about her. This girl often sends messages on WeChat to chat with her and share some interesting stories from the film crew.
This time, since Lu An’an and Song Xi are the groom’s and bride’s sisters, respectively, they naturally can’t be bridesmaids, so Song Qiao’s first choice was Nan Zheng.
At this moment, Nan Zheng had also changed into a bridesmaid’s dress. Seeing Ning Wan, she was amazed, and when looking at Song Qiao, she was so stunned that she stood there dumbfounded.
Seeing the young girl’s reaction, Ning Wan felt relieved and joked with Song Qiao, "It seems my reaction was quite calm. Look at..." She pointed her chin towards Nan Zheng who was standing there in shock.
The wedding company’s staff around Song Qiao also looked over and immediately chuckled softly. A bolder female staff member helped adjust the veil on Song Qiao’s head and said, "That’s because Mrs. Lu, you are so beautiful. When you came out in the wedding dress from the fitting room earlier, we were all equally stunned."
Song Qiao smiled faintly and said nothing, seemingly having heard such compliments too many times today and feeling a bit immune.
Only then did Nan Zheng regain her senses. Seeing everyone laughing, she realized her reaction was too big and said a bit embarrassedly, "Sorry, Song Qiao is just too beautiful, I was just stunned for a moment."
Song Qiao didn’t speak, but Ning Wan teased, "More beautiful than the brides you’ve played on TV before?"
Nan Zheng nodded emphatically, "Of course, Sister Song Qiao is more beautiful than anyone, she’s the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen."
Ning Wan laughed even more happily, almost unable to contain her delight.
For a moment, the room was filled with laughter and happiness, and the entire villa was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
It wasn’t long before Lu Jingchen’s welcoming motorcade arrived directly at the villa. Compared to their side with only two bridesmaids, the Lu Family also had only two groomsmen, including Xi Mohan and Gu Xicheng. Originally, Lin Musen also wanted to be a groomsman, but in the end, he couldn’t outmatch Gu Xicheng and ended up being the... driver for the wedding car in the welcoming team.
Lu An’an is quite a troublesome character. While others dare not give Lu Jingchen a hard time, it doesn’t mean she wouldn’t dare. She shut the door, bringing Song Xi, Ning Wan, and Nan Zheng with her, blocking the entrance with various challenges for Lu Jingchen, Xi Mohan, and the others outside.
But in fact, the real one causing trouble was just Lu An’an, while Ning Wan stood aside smiling, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
In the end, they managed to block the groom at the door for almost half an hour and collected numerous red envelopes. It was only after Xu Qian reminded them not to delay any longer that Lu An’an, holding a bag full of red envelopes in one hand, graciously waved her other hand to finally let Lu Jingchen and the others enter.
There were quite a few people in the welcoming party; besides Lu Jingchen’s good brothers, some of their company’s younger executives also joined in the fun, so when the door opened, a large group of people flooded in.
When Lu Jingchen went to pick up Song Qiao and saw her, he was momentarily stunned by her beauty. It took him quite a while to come to his senses and approach her, gently cupping her face and kissing her on the lips, warmly complimenting, "Wife, you’re stunning."
Upon seeing her brother kissing like that, Lu An’an immediately protested, "Bro, you’re not doing it right; the wedding hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already kissing here?"
Because of Lu An’an’s words, the scene erupted with laughter, but it was all in good spirits.
Song Qiao felt embarrassed being kissed by Lu Jingchen, especially hearing ’Wife, you’re stunning.’ Her face reddened up to her ears, and now with Lu An’an’s fuss, she was almost burying her head in Lu Jingchen’s chest in embarrassment.
Seeing his woman shyly almost burying her head in his chest, Lu Jingchen ignored Lu An’an’s antics and directly carried Song Qiao in his arms.
The wedding proceeded smoothly; walking in, kissing, the vows, everything went without a hitch. But just as they were about to exchange rings, a young woman completely unknown to Song Qiao suddenly barged into the venue.
"Wait a moment."
The three words were loud and clear, causing the two people about to exchange rings to pause and look towards the door. Almost everyone’s gaze shifted to the entrance.
Xu Qian and Lu Tianming were, of course, also at the wedding. Xu Qian was momentarily stunned when she saw the guest, then stood up in astonishment and said, "Little Rui, why are you here?"
Lu Jingchen also saw the newcomer and his body froze as if he couldn’t believe the person in front of him was real.
Song Qiao naturally noticed Lu Jingchen’s unusual reaction and heard Xu Qian’s call for Little Rui, indicating that they all knew this person, except for her. She had no memory of this person at all.
The newcomer looked to be around twenty years old, perhaps not even that. She was dressed in designer clothing, appearing like a sophisticated socialite. She was slightly out of breath, suggesting she had run over.
Ignoring Xu Qian, the newcomer ran directly to the front of the stage, her gaze falling on Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao. The next second, she spoke with a questioning tone, "Jingchen, are you really going to marry this woman?"
Song Qiao looked coldly at the girl who had voiced the question, unsure of what was going on, lifting her head to look directly at Lu Jingchen without saying anything.
Lu Jingchen returned to his senses, looking at the girl standing below the stage. He furrowed his brow but counter-questioned, "Little Rui, why are you here? Weren’t you abroad?"
Murong Rui gazed steadily at Lu Jingchen, not answering his question and instead repeating her previous question, "Jingchen, are you sure you’re going to marry this woman?"
Everyone was somewhat stunned, looking at the girl who suddenly interrupted the wedding, murmuring in discussions below.
Ning Wan stood below the stage, blinking at the girl, finding her familiar but unable to recall where she’d seen her before. She strained her memory but couldn’t quite place her, then turned to Xi Mohan and asked, "Who is this girl?"
Xi Mohan tilted his head to look at her, his expression also somewhat unpleasant, but he still replied, "Jingchen’s former adoptive sister." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Upon hearing this, it was as if a string snapped in Ning Wan’s mind, with thoughts flooding forth. The next second, she worriedly glanced at Song Qiao, ready to walk over, but Xi Mohan held her hand, stopping her.
"It’s no use going over; this matter depends on Jingchen’s decision." Xi Mohan’s voice was deep and devoid of emotion, but he was clearly not in good spirits either.
Ning Wan halted her steps, biting her lip without speaking, and just watched Song Qiao and the others steadily.
Lu Jingchen lowered his gaze to Murong Rui, remaining silent for dozens of seconds before finally speaking, "Little Rui, if you came for the wedding, please stay quiet until your sister-in-law and I finish..."
But as soon as Lu Jingchen finished his sentence, Murong Rui seemed greatly shaken, stepping back, her gaze toward him filled with disbelief. She uttered instinctively, "Jingchen, how can you marry this woman?"
"Little Rui." Lu Jingchen’s voice deepened, calling her name directly.
Song Qiao furrowed her brows, watching Murong Rui below. She heard Lu Jingchen refer to "sister-in-law," but she thought Lu Jingchen only had Lu An’an as a cousin; how was there now another sister emerging?
She thoughtfully glanced in Lu An’an’s direction, seeing Lu An’an’s face look quite unpleasant, as if she might rush forward and drive the girl away at any moment, yet seemingly holding something back.
Then she scanned Xu Qian and Lu Tianming’s side, noticing their faces also appeared unsightly.
The hand she had lifted earlier lowered slowly, clenching into a fist, then quickly unclenching.
Their wedding wasn’t over yet...
Murong Rui bit her lip, staring steadily at Lu Jingchen, her eyes reddening, "Jingchen, you’re actually scolding me?"
Lu Jingchen pressed his lips together without speaking, his expression had shifted from festive to indifferent just moments ago.
However, Murong Rui seemed determined, pointing directly at Song Qiao and shouting, "Jingchen, are you sure you want to marry this woman? Have you forgotten her identity? Have you forgotten what the Song Family did?"
