She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 1318
Chapter 1318: The Wedding (13)
As everyone stood there pondering this, a voice suddenly said, “I’ll do it.”
When Qiao Lian heard the voice, she froze and spun around. She saw Lu Nanze striding towards them.
Her pupils shrank at once as she asked, “What are you doing here?”
The man cast his gaze down—his eyes were glistening with an unfathomable expression.
After a moment, he said, “Uh huh. I’m here to accompany you to the wedding venue.”
Qiao Lian: …
The man looked at Shen Liangchuan and said, “I grew up together with Qiao Lian, I’m like a big brother to her. So let me escort her in the bridal car today.”
Upon hearing this, the groom glanced at his bride and, after a moment, nodded and gave his agreement.
With this, Lu Nanze got into the front passenger seat.
At the wedding ceremony, it should have been Qiao Lian’s father taking her hand and walking her down the aisle to Shen Liangchuan. Now Lu Nanze also shouldered this role.
Very soon, the bridal car pulled up at the hotel.
Outside the hotel, a group of reporters had already gathered.
However, they had not been invited into the venue, as Shen Liangchuan had not intended to make this wedding a public affair.
After getting out of their car, Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian posed for some pictures for the reporters outside the hotel entrance before walking into the hotel lobby.
The long red carpet that paved the way on the floor added a joyous feeling to the occasion.
Everyone who had turned up for this occasion brought with them their sincere blessings and good wishes.
They were all close friends.
Following the group’s lead, Qiao Lian was first ushered to the lounge to rest while she waited for the ceremony to officially start.
But as she was waiting in the room, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
She frowned and looked up. Then she saw the silhouette of a tall figure at the door.
Her pupils shrank back at once as she froze momentarily. “Xiao Yi?”
Qiao Yi smiled and nodded. He walked briskly into the room.
He was in a suit, it made him look exceptionally tall.
The young man looked at Qiao Lian and exclaimed, “Sis, I’m back!”
She nodded but asked curiously, “But didn’t you say you’d only arrive tonight? So how did you get here this quickly?”
Qiao Yi scratched his head and said, “Brother-in-law arranged for a helicopter to take me. I headed back here immediately after my entrance exams yesterday! Sis, your wedding is a lifetime event, how could I possibly miss it?”
He got onto his feet at this point and took out a bankbook. He held it out to Qiao Lian and said, “Sis, this is my wedding gift to you.”
Qiao Lian paused and lowered her head to look at the bankbook in her hand. She saw that it was a gift of 500 000.
This sum of money may not be much to Shen Liangchuan, but when Qiao Yi had gone abroad, she had only given him 100 thousand. And to think that…
She looked up at him in astonishment and asked, “Where did you get this much money?”
Smiling broadly, Qiao Yi assured her, “Don’t worry, I’ve started a small business with a few friends. How could I come here without a wedding gift for my sister on her wedding day? I remember Dad once said that he’d prepare for you a huge dowry on the day you got married, that he’d drown his in-laws with money to ensure they treat you well. I don’t have that capability right now to drown brother-in-law with money, but I do believe that one day, I’ll be that unwavering support for you.”
Qiao Lian nodded upon hearing these words.
Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by emotions.
As she pondered those precious words, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the room.
Pausing for a moment, she then got onto her feet. Shi Nianyao dashed into the room and said, “Hurry, come with me. Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze are having an argument!”
