If the wedding ceremony was about to begin, the guests who were attending the wedding banquet could carefully observe the two "influential people" of the Ye Family — Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingzhi — then they would definitely discover something new.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng was holding a piece of paper in his hands. His hands were trembling with anger as he looked at the tightly shut door of the bride's lounge at the end of the corridor.
At the side, Ye Qingzhi was looking at the documents she gave to Ye Qingcheng with a gloating expression while raising her chin. She had angered him to such an extent.
However, Lin Qingrou, who was still in the bridal lounge, didn't know what had happened. She was blankly looking out the window at the garden and the sky. She didn't have much hope or joy in her heart, but more of it was fatigue and disappointment.
"Is this really what I had hoped for?" She turned her head and looked at him face to face in the mirror.
In the mirror, she looked beautiful, holy, and elegant. However, in reality, she was willing to do anything to get revenge. She knew that the young, inexperienced Lin Qingrou would never come back.
Without realizing it, Lin Qingrou touched a corner of the wedding dress and stood up as if she was shocked by lightning. She suppressed the discomfort she felt and wanted to take off the white wedding dress!
She was physically and mentally exhausted. She knew she was no longer worthy of such clean white.
But in her sadness, she caught a glimpse of the picture of herself with the Ye siblings on the makeup table. He could not help but feel as if his heart had been thrown by a huge liquid bomb. The uncontrollable pain that was unleashed in a split-second struck once again.
However, she was not overwhelmed by the sudden pain. Instead, she slowly straightened her body and adjusted the headwear on her hair with both her hands. She thought to herself, "One step at a time, since the white is no longer suitable for me, then the search for black is the right direction!"
Lin Qingrou took in a deep breath. At this moment, she could only hope that today's wedding with Ye Qingming would go on without any mishaps. As long as nothing happened, nothing bad would happen!
While she was praying in her heart, the door to the lounge was suddenly opened with a "clang".
Lin Qingrou jumped in fright. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Ye Qingcheng's face reflected in the mirror in front of her.
Ye Qingcheng and Lin Qingrou looked at each other in the mirror. Neither of them said anything further. At this moment, the room was strangely quiet.
After a long while, Lin Qingrou took the initiative to pull away from this strange and tense atmosphere. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, pulling her wedding dress as she turned around and asked, "Why are you looking for me in such a flustered and exasperated manner?"
Ye Qingcheng was speechless. His pair of eagle-like eyes pierced through the lens of his glasses and pierced right through Lin Qingrou's face. It was as if he wanted to see through her internal organs and see what kind of heart she had, to actually be able to do such a thing?!
Lin Qingrou felt uncomfortable looking at him, so she could only turn around. Looking at herself in the mirror, she tidied up her makeup and said expressionlessly, "Big brother, is Qingming still busy outside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingcheng took a few steps forward, and suddenly threw a piece of paper in his hand onto Lin Man's delicate face.
Lin Qingrou pursed her lips, forcing herself not to say anything more as she did not want to affect her wedding at this critical moment.
She stiffened and picked up a piece of paper that had fallen onto the dressing table. There were a few numbers written on it and the conclusion was written, "This conclusion is 99% related to a parent." The signature was "Hong Kong XX Institution DNA Identification Center". After taking a rough look, she couldn't help but sneer.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng could not help but feel his temples throbbing a few times.
But soon after, Lin Qingrou glared at him. She held the tattered piece of paper in her hand, and asked him word by word, "What is the point of showing this to me?"
"Pah!" Ye Qingcheng finally could not hold it in and slapped Lin Qingrou's face.
Lin Qingrou lost her balance after being beaten by him. Her mind went blank as she fell onto a chair. After a few seconds, she shook her head with all her might, wishing she could wake up.
Then, Ye Qingcheng took a step forward, grabbed Lin Manshou's wrist, and asked fiercely: "So much effort was spent getting close to the Ye Family, just to avenge your father?! As expected of father and daughter, they all overestimated themselves! Twenty years ago, your father lost to me, and after twenty years, it will be the same ending! "
Lin Qingrou endured the pain on her face and wrist, forcefully clenching her teeth, she struggled to break free of Ye Qingcheng's grasp, mercilessly slapping him in the face with all her strength. Then, while he was still in shock, she could not help but retort, "Then, why don't we try? At least I have nothing to lose now. But you, you also have family rights and status. You even have your wife, daughter, and brother, Ye Qingming. To go all out and see who will die the fastest? "
Pausing, Lin Qingrou continued to speak fearlessly, "Do you know why I 'overestimated myself' to come find you? Because you have the most! For the sake of power, fame, and money, you didn't hesitate to assassinate your colleagues! However, you must also know that even though the people who ascend the mountain are the most comfortable, if they fall down, they would definitely die first! "
With that, she turned her head and pretended as if nothing had happened. She sat down lightly, picked up her makeup mirror and the compact, and began to carefully mend her makeup. After all, she didn't want to be a bride with half a face at a wedding!
Ye Qingcheng froze on the spot, looking at Lin Qingrou as if he was a monster. But just as he was about to say something, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open by someone else.
The person who came was the groom of the day — Ye Qingming.
He was already prepared to meet Lin Manshui again before the wedding. He reminded her not to be nervous, and not to worry. He was here.
"Big brother, why are you here?" Ye Qingming asked curiously.
Seeing that, Lin Qingrou hastily put on her makeup. She turned around and said to Ye Qingming, "I just wanted to ask about today's wedding, but I was afraid you'd be busy, so I called my brother in."
Ye Qingcheng then looked towards Lin Qingrou and nodded his head, saying meaningfully, "Nothing much, I've said everything I need to say, you guys should prepare yourselves!"
After saying that, Ye Qingcheng turned around, patting Ye Qingming's shoulder and left.
As Ye Qingming watched Ye Qingcheng walk out, he could not help but ask, "What happened to Big Bro? "He seems to have something on his mind."
Lin Manshou thought for a moment and explained, "Maybe it's because I'm a bit busy with the wedding."
Ye Qingming didn't think too much into it and just nodded. But when he got close enough to look at Lin Qingrou, he suddenly asked worriedly, "What happened to your face? Why is it a little red? And it's a little swollen? "
Lin Man Rou quickly covered her face with her hands and avoided Ye Qing Ming's gaze: "It's all my fault. Yesterday, when I went out to eat with Yu Xi, I ate some seafood greedily. So I got a little allergic when I woke up this morning. "
"Seafood?" I remember you used to be allergic to seafood, so why didn't you notice it yourself? However, this season's seafood was not very fresh. "No wonder you're allergic. Is there nothing else wrong with your body?"
Ye Qingming asked worriedly.
Lin Qingrou silently shook her head, but after a long while, she suddenly turned around and hugged Ye Qingming tightly, asking uneasily: "Will we get married smoothly? There will be no more problems later... Isn't that right? "
Ye Qingming didn't think about it. He just thought that she was a bit worried before marriage, so he gently caressed her back and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Even if my big brother and second sister have some complaints about you, as long as I'm here, you won't suffer any grievances."
"Actually, the reason why I was so nervous earlier was because I saw Big Bro's gloomy expression when I first came in. I'm afraid he's the one who made you into this state. He's always been the domineering one. "
Ye Qingming said his guess guiltily.
Hearing his words, Lin Qingrou's heart tightened. But after a while, she still forced herself to smile and comfort him, "Don't think too much, she really isn't here. After all, he's your big brother. Don't tell me you still don't believe in his character? "
When Ye Qingming heard her words, he also felt slightly comforted. He nodded his head as he put down her veil and said, "That's good. The wedding is about to start. I will go out first." You should prepare well, see you later! "
Lin Qingrou's heart finally dropped as she obediently complied. However, just as Ye Qingming was about to turn around and leave, her heart suddenly skipped a beat … That was because she had actually seen the DNA identification report from the moment she was knocked off her feet!
God! Not good, she thought.
As long as Ye Qingming turned his body around, he would be able to see a conspicuous piece of white paper on the red carpet!
Lin Qingrou had no other choice, she only wanted to prevent Ye Qingming from discovering this unexpected item.
Lin Qingrou quickly stood in front of Ye Qingming to protect him. Then, before he could even react, she lifted up her veil and gently kissed Ye Qingming's lips!
Ye Qingming had never seen Lin Qingrou look so anxious before. In his heart, she was always gentle and quiet, like the calmest lake, calm and unfathomable.
But now, he thought it was because they wanted to get married, so he didn't think too much about it. He just slowly put his arm around her waist and probed her with his response.
Although Lin Qingrou seemed to be intimate with Ye Qingming on the surface, her mind was filled with the image of that piece of paper.
Thus, she could only pretend that she was too forgetful and unknowingly took two steps back. Using the skirt of her wedding dress, she smoothly hid the paper under her skirt.
Once everything was done, Lin Qingrou slowly separated from Ye Qingming's arms. She lowered her eyebrows and pulled at the hair at her ear. Her cheeks were red as she said, "You should go."
Ye Qingming lowered his head and looked at her, smiling as he said, "Good, then prepare well. I'll have Yuxi come in and help you. Otherwise, you'll have spent all your makeup again."
With that, he grabbed a tissue from the table, put his arm around her shoulders, and then hurriedly left the room.
After seeing Ye Qingming close the door and walk away, Lin Qingrou finally felt relieved. She quickly picked up the piece of paper and tore it into pieces. Then, she walked into the washroom and forcefully threw the pieces of paper into the toilet. She let them wash away their secrets in the water, leaving no one else to find out about it.
After doing all of this, Lin Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the wall, feeling a splitting headache. She turned to look at her trembling hands and let out a sad smile. At this moment, she suddenly thought of the book that she had personally given to Ye Qingming on the day of his marriage proposal.
Lin Qingrou came back to her senses and looked at herself in the mirror. Half her face was red, and the rest of her face was haggard and sorrowful. She did not look like she was going to get married at all.
Therefore, she had no choice but to collect her emotions by herself and muster up her spirit. She smiled bitterly in her heart and silently said to herself, "Fine …" "Lin Qingrou, I wish you a happy marriage …"
