When Lin Nuan was going back to change into a different gown, she gazed out the French windows at the black door, a little worried.
Tang Zheng had left with a sullen face and had yet to return. No one knew what had happened to him.
Later, Lin Nuan felt uneasy when she saw that Tang Zheng didn't return.
Perhaps because Li Muyang had yet to appear, Lin Nuan felt uncertainty in her heart.
If Li Muyang had appeared and were sitting at the wedding venue right now, Lin Nuan wouldn't feel any fear even if he caused some trouble. What caused her to be fearful was the quietness of it all, which made her think that something major was brewing.
Li Muyang had said that he would attend the wedding and had also received the invitation…
She didn't believe that he had changed his mind about coming because he was scared!
Li Muyang gave off a sinister vibe, especially those perverted interests of his. Merely thinking about his name made her shiver.
She had asked You Nainai to check out what had happened at the entrance of the manor, but You Nainai had yet to return.
"Why do you look so restless?" Bai Xiaonian took a sip of the yogurt in her hands. "Is it because Song Yao isn't here yet? Don't worry… I'll slap her for you!"
Lin Nuan remained frozen in place while the makeup artist's assistant helped her put on her wedding gown. Facing the mirror, she put on earrings while smiling and saying to Bai Xiaonian, "Nope, I believe that if something major hadn't happened to her, she would surely have attended my wedding!"
"Other than a life-or-death situation, what other things could be considered major?" Bai Xiaonian bit the straw. Treating Song Yao as the straw, she bit it hard.
Bai Xiaonian would be flying off early the next morning. If Song Yao didn't show up today, they wouldn't have many opportunities to meet in the future.
Lin Nuan finished putting on her gown. She stood before the French windows and looked inside the spacious glass greenhouse. Inside, Fu Huai'an was raising his glass, getting to know the Lin family's relatives and friends with Lin Jingquan leading the way. He exuded a noble aura, yet appeared affable at the same time.
As if through a sixth sense, Fu Huai'an, who had one hand in his pocket and was holding a wine glass with the other, looked up. When their eyes met, Lin Nuan's jumbled up heart was calmed down just like that.
So long as Fu Huai'an was around, all was good, and she didn't need to worry about anything.
Bai Xiaonian was almost done with her yogurt, and the room was filled with the sound of her sucking loudly on the last bit. You Nainai came in amidst that sound.
You Nainai happened to brush shoulders with the makeup artist and her assistant, who had just finished helping Lin Nuan with her makeup and gown. Only after she entered and closed the door did she speak. "Something did happen out there. It's the assistant of that male fan who was clinging onto you. He brought along his men… and is asking you to go see their boss! Those people actually have guns on them. But Tang Zheng's men have guns too and already have them surrounded… I guess it should be fine!"
The sound of Bai Xiaonian sucking on her yogurt halted. Hearing the word "gun", Bai Xiaonian began to feel uneasy.
Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan were clearly different from You Nainai. When they heard that there was a gun, they would inevitably worry.
Lin Nuan was fine. After all, she knew Li Muyang and Fu Huai'an's identities and had seen real guns and bullets in Iraq.
However, Bai Xiaonian wasn't in a good state after hearing that…
What happened in Venice previously, Bai Xiaonian had thought that it would be the most heart-stopping incident she would ever have to live through. But here someone was, telling her that at the entrance of her good friend's house, two groups of people were confronting each other with guns. This was such a marvelous feeling!
Having been a news reporter for many years, Bai Xiaonian was considered to have experienced turbulence in life. However, hearing You Nainai speak in a normal tone of voice about people pointing guns at each other at the door right now, she couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
"Can I call the cops?" Bai Xiaonian suddenly asked.
You Nainai didn't even seem to have considered such a possibility. She thought about it, then nodded. "I guess… you could?"
In You Nainai's world, there was no such thing as calling the cops. Usually, she would directly confront them herself and use tough tactics to handle the situation!
Indeed, when one considered things from another angle, there was another solution.
Although You Nainai didn't sound certain with her reply, Bai Xiaonian still decisively called the cops. After all, Bai Xiaonian was a law-abiding good citizen…
You Nainai gazed at Lin Nuan and seemed like she had something to say but was hesitant to do so. After a long while, she still spoke anyway. "That guy called Ah Zhan said that your friend Song Yao hit his boss's car with hers. His life seems to be hanging by a thread now…"
Lin Nuan's hand halted, her heart skipping a beat.
Even Bai Xiaonian had turned to look at You Nainai. "Why did Song Yao hit that lunatic?"
You Nainai shook her head. As Song Yao's friends, even Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan didn't know, so how would You Nainai know?
"Did Ah Zhan say what happened to Song Yao?" Lin Nuan asked.
You Nainai shook her head again.
Afraid that something had happened to Song Yao, Lin Nuan frantically picked up her phone from the sofa and dialed Song Yao's number. But Song Yao's phone was turned off!
Lin Nuan thought of Cen Mo, so she called Lin Chen.
Downstairs, Lin Chen's suit jacket was placed on the back of a chair. The phone in the pocket vibrated.
He was wearing a formal shirt and had one hand in his pocket. He looked rather helpless as Liang Mulan dragged him to chat with her and her old buddy!
That didn't seem to be Liang Mulan's true intention, though, as a young lady in a gown was standing next to Liang Mulan's old buddy. Lin Chen was clearly aware of what his mother was trying to do.
The young lady gazed at Lin Chen's mature, deep-set, and handsome facial features, feeling a little nervous. Her fair and tender petite hand pulled at the seams of her skirt inconspicuously, her ears reddened.
Upstairs, a servant came by and asked Lin Nuan if she was done changing her gown.
Lin Nuan handed her phone to Bai Xiaonian, who looked equally worried. "I'll go downstairs and ask my brother! Don't be anxious for now…"
Since Song Yao was the one who drove and hit someone, she should be fine. Perhaps… she was at the police station right now.
Moreover, with Cen Mo by Song Yao's side, Cen Mo definitely wouldn't let something happen to Song Yao.
Seeing Lin Nuan head downstairs, the wedding planners thought that they could discuss the next segment of the wedding with her, but before they could communicate with Lin Nuan, they saw her frantically walking to Lin Chen's side.
Lin Nuan flashed an apologetic smile at Liang Mulan and her old buddy, and after greeting them, told them, "I have something to say to my brother!"
Noticing that Lin Nuan looked a little off, Liang Mulan nodded.
"What's the matter?" Lin Chen asked with a frown after placing his wine glass on a passing waiter's platter.
"Brother, help me contact Cen Mo. Song Yao… Something happened to Song Yao. I couldn't get through to her on her phone. I want to ask if he knows how Song Yao is right now!"
Not too far away, Lin Ran frowned when she saw Lin Nuan speaking solemnly with Lin Chen. She also noticed Fu Huai'an's friend with the surname Tang leave with a tense face! Could it be that something terrible had happened?
Lin Ran wanted to go over and ask, but she didn't feel at ease leaving Ji Yun alone. Hence, she could only sit and watch, feeling anxious inwardly.
Lin Chen nodded, then left to get his phone and call Cen Mo. Lin Nuan watched Lin Chen's back view, her mind all jumbled up. When someone came over to congratulate her, she merely gave a perfunctory smile.
