Chapter Seventy-Two: Snatching Relatives
Around ten o'clock, Huaihai Park. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ling Mengyao sat in a room, letting the makeup artist fiddle with her long hair, staring blankly at herself in a white wedding dress in the mirror, but she couldn't help but think of the somewhat thin figure in her mind.
She still clearly remembered that that time, for her sake, he did not hesitate to be hit by three bullets from the enemy, and still told her not to worry with a smile.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a happy smile on his face.
Since she was a child, Ling Mengyao's mother died early, her father didn't like her, and her stepmother was always difficult, she had no feelings for such a family, she thought she could escape this wedding, but now she is destined to be unable to get rid of it.
"Sister Mengyao, do you regret knowing him?" The makeup artist is Ling Mengyao's cousin Zhang Chen, if the Ling family really cares about her, the only one is Zhang Chen.
"If I regret it, I only regret why I didn't go to Shanghe Village earlier. Ling Mengyao muttered in a low voice.
"But what if you know each other, you still have to marry that disgusting fellow, and all that is left is to add to your sorrow. Zhang Chen stopped what he was doing and came to Ling Mengyao with a wry smile.
"Chenchen, you are still young, you don't understand what real feelings are, I didn't say goodbye at the beginning, I just hoped that he could completely forget me, but in my heart, at least that time was beautiful, what about life in the future, I don't want to think about it, but at least I can miss it from time to time. Ling Mengyao looked at Zhang Chen seriously and said.
"But uncle, they are inevitably too much, not to mention anything else, just the advance of this wedding, obviously two months later, but now it is ......" Zhang Chen was a little dissatisfied, muttering and complaining.
"I brought it up myself. Ling Mengyao shook her head at Zhang Chen and sighed.
"Why?" Zhang Chen was a little stunned when he heard Ling Mengyao's words.
In her opinion, if the wedding is held as scheduled in three months, maybe Lin Xiaotian will be present at that time, although the result is not of much use, but at least there is a glimmer of hope.
Now that the wedding is in advance, Lin Xiaotian doesn't know about it, let alone the faint hope.
"I don't want him to mess with the Ling family because of me, the wedding is always going to take place, I can't escape, it's better to let him give up hope completely, at least he will live a happier life in the future. Ling Mengyao looked out the window with her eyes and said with a stunned expression.
"Sister Meng Yao, this is the happiness of your life, and this is unfair to you and Brother Xiaotian!" Zhang Chenbei bit his red lips and made his last effort.
In the face of Zhang Chen's persuasion, Ling Mengyao came back to her senses, and a far-fetched smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "How can there be so many fair things among people, he can risk his life to save me, so why can't I sacrifice for him?"
Zhang Chen didn't continue this time, because she knew that no matter what she said, Ling Mengyao would not listen.
"Meng Yao, are you ready? If you are ready, you can go down now. Ling Mengyao's father suddenly came to the room, looked at his daughter with a pair of scarlet eyes and said softly.
Regarding Lin Xiaotian's intrusion into Ling's house yesterday, none of them told Ling Mengyao, which was also the old man's order.
Because of the situation on the company's side, the Ling family decided to complete the wedding quickly, and then Ling's father would get out and go to the company to deal with it personally; after all, about this wedding, if he, who was a father, did not show up, he would inevitably lose his identity, and if this made the Wu family dissatisfied, it would not be something that their Ling family could afford at that time.
Seeing her father's urging, Ling Mengyao's face did not have the slightest wave, on the contrary, there was still a little coldness in her eyes, she nodded, and then slowly walked downstairs with the help of Zhang Chen.
At this time, Huaihai Park was already full of people, almost all of them were some bigwigs in China, even the old man Zhang and the old man Chen were also present; this alone is enough to show how much power the Wu family has in the country.
"On such a beautiful day today, we are about to welcome a couple of newlyweds......" The host crackled a lot on the stage, and finally under the guidance of Old Man Ling's eyes, he saved a lot of nonsense and continued: "Now we invite our groom and bride to enter!"
There was applause in the audience, and then, Wu Bai slowly stepped into the arena with bandages in his hands, while Ling Mengyao held Ling's father's hand and slowly walked on the red carpet through the flower gallery to the stage.
"Xiaobai, I will hand over Meng Yao to you today, I hope you can treat Meng Yao well in the future. Father Ling said to Wu Bai with a somewhat unnatural expression.
When Wu Bai heard Father Ling's words, his eyes showed a little doubt, it stands to reason that there are still many procedures to go, and now Father Ling came up and said bluntly, which made Wu Bai suddenly think of a figure in his mind.
"Yes, Dad, I must be fortunate not to be dishonored, I promise to treat Meng Yao well in the future, and I will never let her be wronged in the slightest. After speaking, Wu Bai stretched out his hands and grabbed Ling Mengyao's little hand.
Just at the moment when his hands were stretched out, a delicately dressed middle-aged woman in the field stood up and asked Wu Bai, "Xiaobai, what's the matter with your hands?"
As the middle-aged woman's words fell, everyone looked at Wu Bai's bandaged wrist.
"Mom, I'm fine, but I accidentally got a little injured yesterday. Wu Bai's expression was a little unnatural, but in his opinion, this was a matter between him and Lin Xiaotian, and he didn't want to involve adults, otherwise it would seem that he was too faceless to deal with even a little Lin Xiaotian......
"Uncle Ling, my Xiaobai stayed at your house last night, and Xiaobai, as a special soldier, can't he be injured for no reason, right?" The middle-aged woman knew her son's temper very well, and she wouldn't tell them even if she was wronged outside, so she had to point the finger at the old man of the Ling family at the moment.
If Old Man Ling was still in power a few years ago, she, the younger generation, naturally didn't dare to speak like this, but unfortunately, Old Man Ling has retired, and now he is just an ordinary old man.
As the middle-aged woman spoke, an old man in military uniform in front of her also looked at Old Man Ling.
Feeling the old man's somewhat awe-inspiring gaze, the old man of the Ling family smiled bitterly in his heart, his expression was a little unnatural, and said, "It's just a little accident, after the wedding is over, I will give you an explanation." ”
"Uncle Ling, what do you mean by that?" The middle-aged woman didn't care so much, and her voice was a little cold.
"Xiaoyun, that's enough, since Lao Ling said that the wedding would give an explanation, what else do you want to say? And don't forget that you are a junior. As soon as Old Man Wu spoke, who would dare to say a word more.
The rest of the people in the audience looked at this scene, and they couldn't help but feel a little emotion in their hearts, thinking that when Old Man Ling was still in power, who would dare to speak to him like this? But now that he is not in his position, even a junior can stand up and take responsibility for him, which makes everyone sympathize with Old Man Ling a little.
But sympathy is sympathy, but they will not stand up to help Old Man Ling say a word, because Old Man Wu is not something they can offend.
Ling Mengyao glanced at Wu Bai's bandaged wrist at this time, and her heart couldn't help but tremble in the face of Wu Bai's angry eyes.
I am afraid that there is only one person who can make the Ling family and Wu Bai look like this.
"Now that the wedding has officially begun, would the groom be willing to marry the young lady in front of you? The host looked at Wu Bai and smiled slightly.
"Yes. Wu Bai looked at Ling Mengyao's absent-minded appearance in front of him, the cold light in his eyes flickered, his voice was not angry, and he replied coldly.
The host's face was a little embarrassed, but the children of the rich and noble families got married, and there were so many high-ranking officials in the audience, he naturally didn't dare to say more, so he smiled and continued to ask Ling Mengyao: "Is the bride willing to marry the gentleman in front of you as his wife? ”
Ling Mengyao didn't answer the host's words, there was only one thought in her heart at this moment, that is, whether Lin Xiaotian had come to Huaihai Province.
If she came, she instinctively felt happy, but the reality told her that Lin Xiaotian must not come, otherwise she would not want to leave here today.
Seeing that Ling Mengyao didn't hear his words at all, the host glanced at the old man Wu in the audience, the sweat in his head continued to seep out, and after gently wiping the sweat on his forehead, he asked again.
But it still didn't work.
At this moment, Old Man Wu's family, with frost on their faces, was obviously very dissatisfied with Ling Mengyao's performance.
You must know that all the high-level personnel who came to the scene today are domestic high-level personnel, if Ling Mengyao refuses at this time, then his Wu family will lose face today.
"Meng Yao!" The old man of the Ling family's pale brows also had a look of concern, and he gave Ling Mengyao's stepmother a look, and then Ling Mu whispered to her.
After screaming many times in a row, just when the Wu family couldn't bear it anymore, Ling Mengyao came back to her senses, and looked at everyone with a little confusion in her eyes.
"May I ask if the bride is willing to marry the gentleman in front of you, no matter whether she is rich or poor in the future, she will never leave her?" Seeing that Ling Mengyao had finally come back to her senses, the host secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly asked.
If Ling Mengyao is in a stupor for a while, this wedding will be messed up, and he won't want to mix in the country in the future.
"I ......" Ling Mengyao opened her mouth, and the corner of her eye glanced at the field, but she never saw Lin Xiaotian's figure.
"What, don't you want to marry me?" Wu Bai smiled, but the pair of pupils were full of coldness.
He would never allow his wife to always have another man in her mind in the future, and this man was still the guy he hated to the core.
"I do. Ling Mengyao glanced at the coldness between Wu Bai's expressions, her face was pale, and she replied slowly to Wu Bai with a forced smile.
As soon as Ling Mengyao's three words fell, everyone in the audience secretly breathed a sigh of relief, especially the Ling family, if Ling Mengyao had just hesitated for a moment, I am afraid that this wedding would be completely messed up, and it would also offend the Wu family, for the current Ling family, this is definitely a fatal blow.
"I don't want to!" Suddenly, an unusually loud voice slowly came into everyone's ears, and everyone's faces changed.
