Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 978: Chapter 951: Why Does She Have to Put Up with This?

The ceremony was over, but what should be done with so many important guests at the hotel?

Yu Minglang hung up the phone, and no one could tell what he was feeling at that moment. His tightly strained and handsome face was full of apology as he looked at Qian.

"Qian’er, I—"

"Go."

Go.

Those two words fully displayed Qian’s grace and also intensified the turmoil in his heart. He was a man who was afraid even when others held her, fearing she might fall, and wished nothing more than to cradle her in his hands and protect her forever.

Yet he never expected that on such an important day, he would ultimately have to let her down!

On one side was duty, on the other was his lover; what should he choose?

It seemed there was no choice left. Yu Minglang, who least wanted to be an unfaithful person, was ultimately going to be left with a huge regret.

Qian originally thought that before leaving, he would lift her veil and take a look at her before departing.

But after waiting for a while, she only felt his lips slightly warm through the veil. He whispered an apology in her ear, and then his presence drifted away.

What did that kiss through the veil mean...

Qian felt as if she could perceive a man’s overwhelming guilt towards his wife but also his helplessness in expressing it.

Qian thought she should be a bit angry, angry at this damn fate.

But why, after realizing his deep remorse, did her heart only feel reluctance for him?

The groom ran off and left the bride, not even changing his clothes before going out.

The bride remained at the original spot with her veil over her face, which was unseen, but everyone in the room assumed Qian’s mood was one of special sadness.

Mrs. Yu saw this and instinctively looked in the direction of Qian’s mother, whose face had turned green.

Which family’s daughter could tolerate such a thing happening on her wedding day?

Others also looked at each other, unsure how to handle the situation.

"Mom, Uncle Liao, Brother Fugui, Dalong, come inside with me." Qian’s calm voice came from beneath the veil.

Someone on the Yu side couldn’t help but speculate about the meaning of the bride’s actions, thinking she might be rallying her family to pick a fight?

As if understanding what everyone was thinking, Qian lifted her veil and calmly yet politely spoke to Mrs. Yu.

"Mom, I’m going inside to change my clothes."

Mrs. Yu also felt sorry for Qian, but she couldn’t express it in front of so many people. She could only look at Qian remorsefully and then give a glance to her sons, signaling them to see the close relatives out of the room.

Qian then led her family into the room, and once the door closed, only a few family members remained.

The people from Yu’s side had all left, and Qian led her family inside to talk privately. Now only Qian’s friends, led by Shi Touyu, were left in the room, and no one dared to speak.

Everyone had been waiting to get some red envelopes from Xiaoqiang, but who knew such an incident would suddenly occur? Chief Qian must be feeling very distraught, right?

The moment came too suddenly for everyone to react.

"Shi Touyu, what should we do now?" Qiuqiu asked Shi Touyu, as Da Yi and Narcissus, being pregnant, had avoided coming to the bridal chamber, so now only Qiuqiu and Shi Touyu were the closest to Qian.

Shi Touyu was at her wit’s end as well; they all came with the intention of celebrating, who could have foreseen such a mishap?

After all, having been through life and death with Chief Qian many times, she knew that Qian’s thought process couldn’t be understood by conventional logic. In the past, she might have led a rebellion to vent her friend’s anger, but now, after being molded by Chief Qian, she was reborn, understanding that she can’t cause trouble for her friend.

With Narcissus and Da Yi absent, Shi Tou was the soul of Chief Qian’s team, and she had to hold down the fort for Qian.

Shi Touyu closed her eyes and thought for several seconds, pondering Chief Qian’s mindset. Qian was a woman who could make a grand entrance with a flourish; if she didn’t explode in front of so many people, it must be because she was considering the bigger picture.

It took Shi Touyu less than a minute to see herself as one of the Emperor’s loyalists, and when she opened her eyes again, she was all smiles, greeting the other friends.

"What’s with the long faces? Come on, cheer up, it’s a day of celebration, we still need to take group photos. Photographer, over here! Make sure we look good!" Shi Touyu waved her hand to call the photographer.

"Let’s take group photos with our brothers and sisters first, and once Chief Qian has changed, we’ll take pictures with the bride!"

Mrs. Yu returned from seeing off the guests and was secretly nodding to Shi Touyu’s words.

A person is judged by the company they keep. The friends of her daughter-in-law were so composed and considerate, she had chosen the right daughter-in-law, but her son... alas!

"Aunt, can you join us for a photo? You look absolutely beautiful today, standing with us, you could be mistaken for our sister!" Shi Touyu warmly invited Mrs. Yu, who smiled and joined them, but her heart was wholly concerned with Qian and her family inside, hoping her daughter-in-law wouldn’t be angry and would forgive her son, though she personally felt uneasy, wondering what to do about this, alas!

Inside, Dalong’s face turned green. Wasn’t Yu’s side just bullying them because they had no one? He turned to leave immediately.

"Stop."

Seeing her hormone-driven brother about to storm out, Qian, knowing her brother best, called out to stop him.

"Sis! It’s all like this, why stay any longer, let’s go home, forget about the wedding!"

Even though Dalong was still half a kid, he knew it was his sister’s big day today.

The Yu family just left his sister hanging, his so excellent elder sister, why should she be treated like this?

What’s so great about a high family status; it’s not a reason to bully his sister!

"Let your brother go!" It was Qian’s mom, wiping away tears, speaking. If she had known Yu’s family would pull such a stunt, she wouldn’t have let her daughter marry in.

"It’s a big day, no crying allowed, the bride shouldn’t be reduced to tears, nor should you!"

"What is this? So many people are still waiting!" Normally such a stable son-in-law, yet he faltered at the critical moment?

"You understand Minglang’s temperament and disposition better than anyone. If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, would he have not stayed?"

Qian calmly managed the situation, and Mr. Liao nodded.

"Sometimes, he indeed can’t control his circumstances."

"It’s not like there’s a war going on now; can’t it wait until the wedding is over? Besides, he’s such a big boss, can’t he just say something to the higher-ups? They’re not asking him to follow my sister around every day. Is one day for the wedding too much to ask?" Dalong said indignantly.

You can’t blame Dalong for being so fixated; anyone would be upset in this situation, and everyone around Qian was equally furious.

"The Yu family has never abused their power and influence, and moreover, Minglang was called back by his former unit to cooperate. His father doesn’t have control over him; the decision was made from above, and Minglang is merely following orders. He cares so much for our Qian’er, how could he possibly leave Qian’er alone?" Mr. Liao analyzed objectively.

Qian’s mother knew he was right, but because he was right, it left her with no points to refute, which made it even harder for her as a mother who felt for her daughter’s suffering.

Everyone wanted her daughter to be reasonable and tolerant, but why didn’t anyone feel for her daughter’s once-in-a-lifetime wedding being ruined? Such an outstanding daughter, why should she be left to toast alone?
