The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story Novel - Chapter 341
Chapter 341: Chapter 341 cheered up
The guests present all looked towards the entrance, all wanting to see what the usually cold and arrogant director Li would look like today.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, no one appeared at the entrance.
Zhou Lin was a little embarrassed. She looked at the host unhappily and asked, “What’s going on?”
The host was even more confused. The groom had not arrived yet, so he could only smooth things over and say, “Everyone, don’t be impatient. Director Li has always been busy with work. He might have been delayed on the way.”
However, this explanation was inevitably pale and less convincing.
No matter how busy he was with work, was he still short of time?
This was a wedding venue..
Father Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at mother Li. “Your Li family is looking down on us!”
Father Li was seriously ill. At this moment, he coughed heavily and mother-in-law calmed down for a long time. “I’ll get someone to contact Li Jingran right away.”
Seeing Li Jingran’s father like this, Zhou Jingran couldn’t say anything more. He sighed and went to sulk.
…
The whole venue was in a heated discussion. It was indeed interesting that the groom didn’t show up at the wedding venue.
“Do you think director Li is always dissatisfied with this marriage? How can director Li be late for such an important moment like the wedding?”
“How can we guess the grudges between the rich and powerful families? Perhaps there is someone else in director Li’s heart. This business marriage definitely doesn’t have many feelings.”
“You’re right! I heard that director Li used to like a young girl in her early twenties. Perhaps that girl is the only one in his heart.”
“TSK tsk, it seems that Miss Zhou is quite pitiful.”
Zhou Lin stood in the middle, hatred rising in her eyes. Today was the wedding day, so she tried hard not to let her emotions out, but her heart was already filled with dissatisfaction.
Damn Xu Wanwan!
She had already left for such a long time. was she going to hold on to Li Jingran and not let him go?
Below the stage, someone came close to director Li’s ear and said nervously, “Our people didn’t find director Li…”
“Are you sure you’ve looked everywhere?”
The subordinate nodded. “We’ve looked everywhere, but we can’t contact director Li or find director Li’s people.”
Director Li was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe. He coughed violently again.
Mother Li couldn’t stand it anymore. She gave the man a look. “Hurry up and go down.”
“Sigh, Li Jingran didn’t agree to this marriage in the first place. If we force him like this, doesn’t that count as retribution?”
They had all seen how Li Jingran had spent the past month.
Sometimes, mother Li would feel sorry for him, and she even regretted it now.
If she hadn’t forced Xu Wanwan away, Li Jingran wouldn’t be in such a dire situation now.
Old Master Li’s eyes dimmed. “This is the wedding of our Li family and the Zhou family. With so many people watching, Li Jingran is going to take advantage of our reputation and throw it away!”
Mother Li frowned. Just when she didn’t know how to persuade Old Master Li, a woman in formal attire walked up the stage.
The woman looked down the stage in a businesslike manner. “Hello, everyone. I’m director Li’s secretary. I’m here on director Li’s orders.”
“I’d like to say a few things to everyone. First of all, director Li won’t be able to leave this wedding because of personal matters. He won’t Be Coming.”
“Second, director Li will treat the Zhou family and the guests present with the most thoughtful etiquette. Everyone can enjoy this banquet to their heart’s content.”
“Finally, director Li wishes everyone to have a good time.”
After finishing her words, secretary Lin walked down the stage with an expressionless face.
The crowd below the stage was once again in an uproar.
“Oh my God, it seems that director Li really doesn’t like Miss Zhou. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such cold words like an outsider.”
“Isn’t that obvious? Not only does he not like her, but he also hates her. Otherwise, he would have to attend the wedding as a show of respect.”
“TSK TSK, I really don’t understand why Miss Zhou has to marry into the Li family. A marriage without love is also very painful.”
Zhou Lin stood on the stage like a clown. She even wanted to tear off the thick veil and rush off the stage.
However, for the sake of the Zhou family’s face and for the sake of the Li family’s reputation in the future, she had no choice but to bear with it.
Below the stage, Father Zhou was so anxious that he stomped his feet. “Is this the Li family’s way of handling matters? Is this your sincerity?”
Since things had come to this, mother Li had no choice but to accept reality.
“Don’t be agitated.”She stepped forward on behalf of father Li and steadied the situation. “Our Li family is not unkind. We have mistreated your Zhou family this time, and we will definitely make up for it in the future.”
“My son has made a mistake. I apologize to you on his behalf. Let’s finish today’s wedding first. If there’s a chance in the future, we can discuss how to make up for it.”
Father Zhou was agitated. When he thought that the Zhou family would become the laughingstock of the entire city, he could not calm down.
“You’re done apologizing? You’re done without a wedding? Isn’t Your Li family slapping my daughter’s face by doing such a thing?”
“I don’t care. You have to give a reasonable explanation for this matter!”
Mother Li’s expression also turned a little ugly. “It’s not good for both families if this matter blows up. Now, we have to put the big picture first. If you’re not satisfied with my way of handling this, then please ask Zhou Lin to go back. Our Li family will not marry.”
“You!”
Father Zhou almost fainted from anger, but he did not dare to turn hostile in front of tangible benefits.
He swallowed his anger and said, “Then let’s stabilize the situation first. We’ll talk about it after the wedding!”
Thus, the wedding that everyone had been looking forward to became a joke in the entire city.
Zhou Lin went from being the most beautiful bride to being the topic of everyone’s gossip.
The song family.
Song Qingchen pressed the remote control, and the live broadcast on the screen instantly disappeared.
He shook his head. “Li Jingran, today is your big wedding. Why do you think you’re hiding here with me?”
The dispirited man sitting in the corner didn’t say a word. In front of him was a pile of wine bottles and cigarette butts all over the floor. This man didn’t have the slightest bit of pride from before.
Song Qingchen walked over and snatched the wine bottle from his hand. “Li Jingran, Xu Wanwan has been gone for an entire month. Can you pull yourself together?”
“You drink here every day. Don’t you have enough to live on?”
Li Jingran tilted his head and sneered. His long hair covered his cold eyes.
Xu Wanwan had left. He really did not know what was the point of living.
For a whole month, no one knew how he got through it.
Before he left, the girl still hugged his waist and softly told him that she would wait for him to come back obediently.
However, in a day’s time, when he returned home, she had already gone far away.
It was not that he had not sent people to look for her in the past month.
His people went to the school where Xu Wanwan was studying abroad, but there was no such person there. He spent a month almost going through that small country.
However, Xu Wanwan seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no news of her.
Everything was so absurd.
Song Qingchen sighed lightly. He sat beside the man and opened a bottle of wine. He touched Li Jingran’s bottle and said, “Since the lady chose to leave, she must have her reasons.”
