Chapter 446: Chapter 446

Song Qiao looked at her and just smiled without speaking.

She actually understood Ning Wan’s thoughts. Xi Mohan had hurt her deeply before, and now it was indeed time to completely let go.

But now it seemed that Xi Mohan had developed feelings for Ning Wan, which could be a bit troublesome.

Thinking of this, Song Qiao’s expression darkened somewhat.

Aside from Ning Wan, one of the bridesmaids was another artist who Song Qiao had mentored for a while, who had a very pleasant name, Nan Zheng.

Nan Zheng had a good relationship with her, and nowadays, this girl was also a second-tier artist in the entertainment industry. Because she was still young and had a good temperament, it was just that she hadn’t received better scripts before, so there was still a lot of room for future development.

The agent now managing this girl was also a fairly famous one in their company, so Song Qiao was quite optimistic about her. Normally, this girl would also frequently send messages on WeChat to chat with her, telling her about some interesting incidents she encountered on the set.

This time, with Lu An’an and Song Xi acting as the groom and bride’s sister, they naturally couldn’t be bridesmaids, so Song Qiao’s first choice was Nan Zheng.

Nan Zheng had also changed into her bridesmaid dress and when she saw Ning Wan, she was astounded and then turned to Song Qiao, completely dazzled into stupefaction.

Seeing the young girl’s reaction, Ning Wan immediately felt a sense of balance and directly chuckled, speaking to Song Qiao, "It seems my reaction was quite calm, you see..." Her chin pointed towards Nan Zheng, who stood there having forgotten to react.

The staff from the wedding company by Song Qiao’s side also looked over, and immediately everyone laughed softly. One bolder female staff member directly helped arrange the veil on Song Qiao’s head and said, "That’s because Mrs. Lu is simply too beautiful. Just now, when Mrs. Lu walked out of the dressing room in her wedding gown, we were all just as stunned." For original chapters go to novel★fire.net

Song Qiao smiled faintly, as if she had heard such compliments too much today; she felt almost immune to them.

It was only then that Nan Zheng came back to her senses, seeing everyone laughing she realized her reaction was excessive, and somewhat sheepishly said, "Sorry, it’s just that Song Qiao is so beautiful, I was instantly mesmerized."

Song Qiao didn’t speak, but Ning Wan playfully said, "Even more beautiful than when you played a bride on TV?"

Nan Zheng nodded vigorously, unable to deny it, "Of course, Sister Song Qiao is beautiful in any way, she is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen."

Ning Wan laughed even happier, almost bursting into a full bloom of joy.

The room was filled with laughter and happiness, the entire villa was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.

Lu Jingchen’s bridal party cars soon arrived at the villa. Unlike their side, which only had two bridesmaids, the Lu Family also only had two bridesmaids, one of them was Xi Mohan and the other was Gu Xicheng. Lin Musen had also wanted to be a groomsman, but after losing out to Gu Xicheng, he ended up grumpily taking on the role... of the driver for the bridal convoy.

Lu An’an was always a troublemaker. Others might not dare to give Lu Jingchen a hard time, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t. She shut the door, joined by Song Xi, Ning Wan, and Nan Zheng, all blocking the entrance to pose various difficult challenges to Lu Jingchen, Xi Mohan, and others outside.

But in reality, the troublemaker was only Lu An’an herself; Ning Wan just stood aside, laughing without saying a word, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

Finally, she managed to keep the groom and his party at the doorway for almost half an hour collecting countless red packets. It was Xu Qian who reminded not to delay any longer, and Lu An’an, with a bag of red packets in one hand, finally generously waved her other hand to let Lu Jingchen and the others in.

There were quite a few people in the bridal procession. Apart from Lu Jingchen’s close friends, some younger executives from his company also followed the procession for the fun of it, so the moment the door opened, a big group of people rushed in.

When Lu Jingchen went up to receive Song Qiao, he too was struck by her beauty, and it took him a moment to regain composure before he walked up to her, held her face, and kissed her lips, complimenting her warmly, "Wife, you are so beautiful."

Seeing her brother kissing like that, Lu An’an immediately protested, "Brother, you are doing it wrong, the ceremony hasn’t even started yet and you’re already kissing here?"

Because of Lu An’an’s words, laughter immediately erupted at the scene, but it was all in good spirits.

Feeling shy from being kissed by Lu Jingchen and especially after hearing his words ’wife, you are so beautiful,’ Song Qiao’s face turned red up to her ears, and now with Lu An’an causing a scene, she almost buried her head in Lu Jingchen’s chest in embarrassment.

Seeing the woman bury her almost head against his chest from shyness, Lu Jingchen didn’t pay heed to Lu An’an’s disruption and simply scooped Song Qiao up horizontally.

The wedding proceeded smoothly: walking into the venue, kissing, vows, everything went without a hitch. However, just as they were about to exchange rings, a young lady whom Song Qiao didn’t recognize suddenly burst into the ceremony.

These three words were so loud that they made the two people who were about to exchange rings pause in their tracks and look towards the door, attracting almost everyone’s gaze.

Xu Qian and Lu Tianming had also come to attend the wedding. When Xu Qian saw the newcomer, she was first taken aback, then stood up and stammered, "Rui, why are you here?"

Lu Jingchen also stiffened upon seeing the newcomer, as if he couldn’t believe the person appearing before him was real.

Song Qiao also noticed Lu Jingchen’s unusual behavior and heard Xu Qian’s words. It was clear they all knew her, except for her; she had no memory of this person.

The newcomer appeared to be around twenty or so, and whether she was even twenty yet was questionable. She was dressed in designer clothes, looking like a refined lady, her breath slightly uneven, probably from running here.

The person ignored Xu Qian and ran straight to the front of the stage, her gaze falling on Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao. The next second, she blurted out in a questioning tone, "Jingchen, are you really going to marry this woman?"

Song Qiao looked coldly at the girl who was questioning, somewhat puzzled about what was happening. She looked up directly at Lu Jingchen but also remained silent.

Lu Jingchen came back to his senses and looked at the girl standing before the podium, frowning and asked in return, "Rui, why are you here? Aren’t you abroad?"

Murong Rui stared steadily at Lu Jingchen, but did not answer his question, instead repeating her own, "Jingchen, are you sure you really want to marry this woman?"

Everyone was somewhat stunned looking at this girl who had suddenly appeared and interrupted the wedding, with murmurs filling the air.

Ning Wan blinked at the girl, feeling she looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall where she had seen her before. Despite searching her memory, she couldn’t remember and turned to ask Xi Mohan, "Who is this girl?"

Xi Mohan turned his head to look at her, his expression somewhat uncomfortable, yet he explained, "She’s the daughter of Jingchen’s foster parents."

Upon hearing this, Ning Wan felt as if something in her mind snapped, and several things started flooding in. The next second, she looked worriedly at Song Qiao, and started walking towards her, but was stopped the next second as Xi Mohan grabbed her hand.

"It’s no use going over there; this matter depends on Jingchen’s decision," Xi Mohan’s voice was low, emotionless, but clearly not very cheerful.

Ning Wan’s footsteps halted abruptly, her teeth biting her lip without speaking. She just stared fixedly at Song Qiao and the others.

Lu Jingchen lowered his gaze to Murong Rui, silent for several seconds before finally speaking, "Rui, if you are here to attend the wedding, then wait quietly for me and your sister-in-law’s ceremony to finish..."

But just as Lu Jingchen was speaking, Murong Rui, as if suddenly deeply hurt, stepped back, her gaze at him filled with disbelief, and she blurted out, "Jingchen, how can you marry this woman?"

"Rui." Lu Jingchen’s voice dropped a few notches, calling her name directly.

Song Qiao furrowed her brows, looking at Murong Rui below. She had heard what Lu Jingchen had just called her - sister-in-law. But didn’t Lu Jingchen only have Lu An’an as a cousin? Where did this sister suddenly come from?

Her gaze thoughtfully turned towards Lu An’an and their direction, only to see Lu An’an’s face was very unpleasant, as if she would rush over any second to directly chase this girl away, but it seemed like she was restraining herself.

Another glance at Xu Qian and Lu Tianming revealed their expressions weren’t good either.

Her hand, initially lifted, dropped, she slowly clenched her fist but quickly released it.

Their wedding was still not complete...

Murong Rui bit her lip, looking up steadily at Lu Jingchen, her eyes suddenly reddening, "Jingchen, are you really yelling at me?"

Lu Jingchen pursed his lips silently, his facial expression turning from joyous to indifferent.

Murong Rui, as if she had made up her mind, pointed at Song Qiao and loudly said, "Jingchen, are you really sure you want to marry this woman? Have you forgotten what this woman’s background is? Have you forgotten what the Song Family has done?"
