54 Master of Ceremonies, Let’s Exchange Rings!
The Jiang family’s status in Lan City was powerful, and Jiang Yanshen was the most respected person in Lan City. No matter who it was, they had to give him face.
Today was his wedding day, but the bride broke off the marriage in public. This was undoubtedly a slap to the Jiang family and Jiang Yanshen’s face.
Such an intense and decisive method didn’t leave him a way out at all, nor did it give Jiang Yanshen any chance to redeem himself.
Jiang Yanshen knew very well what Lin Qingqian was scheming. He knew that she was using this method to force him to grant her the divorce and everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself…
However, he still did not intend to get a divorce!
His thin lips pursed slightly, and his voice was so tense that every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. “Master of Ceremonies, let’s exchange rings!”
“Ah—” The emcee was dumbfounded. They could still exchange wedding rings at this point?
Lin Qingqian frowned and her eyes narrowed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, the old lady below the stage stood up with an agitated expression. “You, what did you say?”
“I’m sorry, Grandma.” Lin Qingqian looked at her, her eyes filled with apology. “I want to divorce Jiang Yanshen.”
The old lady’s face was tense. She pondered for a moment and said solemnly, “Today is the Jiang family’s big day. Do you know what your words mean?”
“I know.” Lin Qingqian pursed her lips lightly. “Today, I publicly broke off the marriage and made the Jiang family lose all face. The Jiang and Lin families will become enemies because of this!”
“Since you already know, are you still going to be so stubborn?” The old lady questioned in a cold tone.
“Yes.” Lin Qingqian answered without hesitation.
“Good! Good! Good!” The old lady said good three times in a row. Her face was so dark that it could drip ink. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, my Jiang family…”
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen interrupted, “Grandma…”
The old lady glared at him. “Since she doesn’t want to be your wife, is our Jiang family supposed to force her?”
After a pause, she took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, “Since you’ve made up your mind, my Jiang family won’t keep you. On account of our past relationship, my Jiang family won’t make things difficult for you in the future, but… in the future, whether you’re doing good or bad, it will have nothing to do with my Jiang family!”
As soon as the last word fell, the old lady’s body swayed like an autumn leaf, and her eyelids drooped down.
In an instant, the surrounding people were shocked and hurriedly reached out to support the old lady.
Jiang Yanshen’s cold expression instantly changed. He instantly rushed off the stage and ran towards the old lady.
The scene fell into an extremely noisy and chaotic state.
The moment Lin Qingqian saw Grandma faint, she was stunned.
She had expected that rejecting the marriage in public would make Grandma angry and disappointed, but she did not expect it to make Grandma faint from anger.
The bouquet in her hand fell to the ground. She wanted to go forward and see how Grandma was, but she was blocked by the crowd.
Madam Jiang glared at her in disgust. “Grandma fainted from anger. Stop pretending!”
Someone had called for an ambulance so Jiang Yanshen quickly carried Grandma out of the hall. Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang then helped him block the reporters and media outside…
Lin Qingqian didn’t seem to hear Madam Jiang’s words. She took off her hair ornament, took off her high heels, and followed barefooted.
The other members of the Jiang family also followed behind. As for the guests, they were all busy gossiping.
Only the man sitting at the inconspicuous banquet table at the corner was calmly drinking his red wine, his eyes filled with schadenfreude.
The secretary beside him asked, “President Lu, aren’t we leaving?”
The man glanced at him. “Why are you rushing me? It’s a pity not to drink such good wine…”
The secretary: “…”
The man put down his wine glass and buttoned up his suit. Before he turned around, he said lightly, “Go and investigate this Lin Qingqian.”
