Chapter 12: Dreams Come True

Chapter 12

The wedding hall at the Lake Island Garden Hotel boasts floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the lush green lake and mountains. The lavish décor of the hall, adorned with white roses and lace satin, creates a dreamy and exquisite atmosphere.

Black sedans drive through the long corridor, entering the open-air parking lot of the Lake Heart Hotel. The guests arriving and departing are all prominent figures in their respective circles. Anyone with a bit of business acumen knows that if the Su and Qin families' alliance is successful, they will essentially rival the entertainment industry giant, Chen Huaixiao.

They are all eager to come and congratulate, standing in line to show their support. From now on, the situation where Chen Huaixiao dominates alone is likely to come to an end.

Su Yecheng is dressed in a black suit and is accompanied by the elegantly attired Zou Meizhi as they receive congratulations from friends and family.

Su Anning walks over, and Su Yecheng turns his head to ask her, "Is there any problem with your sister?"

"My sister has a lot of grievances towards you, and it seems she is reluctant to get married. I'm afraid she might suddenly change her mind."

Su Yecheng furrows his brow and says, "How could she change her mind? Although we haven't completed the marriage registration, the guests have already arrived. If she doesn't want to get married, why didn't she say so earlier?"

Zou Meizhi interjects, "She's from a small rural area. Marrying into the Qin family is a life of luxury for her, but she doesn't know how to cherish it. She's really ungrateful."

Su Yecheng sighs, "Regardless, she is getting married on behalf of Anning, and I still feel somewhat guilty."

Upon hearing this, Su Anning quickly adds, "Dad, I heard that the groom Qin Jue not only has a handsome appearance but also has a particularly good character. My sister will definitely be happy with him!"

"I hope so," Su Yecheng responds, looking at the dense white rose flowers on the stage, which almost make him smile.

Qin Jue's character is well-known in the circle. He is an unruly and domineering playboy who takes advantage of others and is very perverted. It's a stroke of luck for her to marry such a person. Su Anning feels like she has finally vented her anger.

Fifteen minutes have passed since the start of the wedding, and the groom Qin Jue has not yet arrived. Su Yecheng becomes anxious and approaches the Chairman of the Qin Family's company, Qin Yao, politely asking, "Father-in-law, why hasn't the groom arrived yet?"

"There was a little accident on the way," Qin Yao, calm as a mountain, responds. "Let's wait a while longer."

Su Yecheng is naturally anxious since the Su family is climbing the social ladder by marrying into the Qin family. Many families in the circle want to form alliances with the Qin family, giving them more choices.

Qin Yao picks up the phone and calls Qin Jue, "What's taking so long? Everyone's waiting for you."

On the other end of the phone, Qin Jue's lazy voice says, "Dad, I can't make it. There was a slight accident on the road, and I'm now at the traffic police station."

"What kind of accident?"

"I got into a fender bender, and they won't let me go."

"Just give them some money to settle it."

"They won't take money and insist on justice. Let's postpone the wedding for now."

Qin Yao said coldly, "Hmph, I don't think you really want to get married! What excuse are you using?"

"Who says I don't want to get married?" Qin Jue replied with a hint of gritted teeth, "I've already decided to marry the second young miss of the Su family! But what's wrong with making her wait a little? It's the Su family who are in a hurry to marry off their daughter."

Qin Yao cursed the bastard a few times, then hung up the phone with a cold face.

Su Yecheng quickly asked, "Can our son make it in time?"

"Just wait a bit longer," Qin Yao replied calmly. After all, his Qin Family didn't lack for daughters-in-law.

At that moment, Su Yecheng saw an elderly man with white hair sitting at the nearest round table to the viewing platform. He looked a bit confused and said to Qin Yao, "Do you see that...doesn't he look like the Chen family's old master?"

"That's impossible! Hasn't Chen old master already retired? How could he be here?" Qin Yao replied.

"It seems so." Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

How could they have invited someone like Chen old master to this engagement between their two families?

Zou Meizhi said coldly, "He's probably just a poor relative from the countryside of Bai Yin. Look at his shabby clothes and demeanor."

Su Yecheng glanced at the old man again.

He was sitting at the table, dressed in a simple vintage white shirt, with a carved walking stick beside him. He was playing with a single-lens reflex camera but couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask a young person next to him for help.

How could an old man like him be the founder of the Chen family's business empire, which had once dominated the business world?

Su Yecheng walked over and asked the old man, "Are you a relative of Bai Yin's from the countryside in Jiangnan?"

The old man's aged eyes carried a hint of sharp intimidation as he gave Su Yecheng a once-over, making him feel a bit uneasy.

"I'm Bai Yin's neighbor," the old man replied, his tone indifferent.

Of course, Su Yecheng knew that this marriage alliance was a way for the Su family to climb the social ladder, and the Qin family didn't really care. "Even in business, we should still uphold honesty and integrity. The guests are already here, and if we cancel the wedding now, it would be unethical," Su Yecheng said nervously.

"Ethics?" Qin Yao sneered, "We were originally supposed to marry your eldest daughter, but in the end, we got a girl from the countryside. Who's being dishonest here?"

Su Yecheng was speechless, knowing that the Qin family still looked down on Bai Yin's background. "Whether big or small, they're all daughters of the Su family. They're all the same," he said, feeling defensive. "And in terms of looks, Bai Yin is not inferior to Su Anning."

"If it wasn't for this, the wedding wouldn't even take place." Qin Yao's voice was cold and firm. "So if you want to wait, then wait. But if you can't, then cancel the wedding."

Su Yecheng sighed, knowing that if they canceled the wedding now, it would be a huge embarrassment for the Su family. He could only wait patiently.

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp car engine rang out.

The guests turned their heads and saw a maple-colored, high-end sports car speeding towards the hotel, crushing white rose petals along the way and stopping at the hotel entrance.

Who was so arrogant as to drive a car into the hotel!

The car door opened, and a man in a high-end suit calmly stepped out.

As soon as they saw him, the previously noisy scene suddenly fell silent.

The man had a cold and stern face, and his black eyes were tinged with a hint of ruthlessness. Although his expression was cold, his features were stunning.

The high-end suit perfectly outlined his tall and slender figure, and his demeanor was inhuman yet irresistibly attractive.

"It's Chen Huaixiao!"

"Why is Chen Huaixiao here!"

"His outfit... he must be the groom!"

"No... that's impossible! The groom today is Chen Huaixiao!!!"

Su Anning's eyes widened suddenly, her fingertips digging tightly into her palms.

Chen Huaixiao... the man she had loved secretly for so many years! He had actually come to the wedding!

"Mom, how could Chen Huaixiao come? Who invited him! Why is he wearing the groom's clothes!"

Zou Meizhi looked at the stage resentfully. "Who knows..."

...

Bai Yin watched as Chen Huaixiao walked towards her calmly, and her tense heart suddenly relaxed.

Her mind went blank, the music faded away, and the noise disappeared.

All that remained in the world was the chaotic beating of her heart.

He... he had really come.

It felt like a dream.

Chen Huaixiao leapt onto the wedding stage with agility, took the stunned emcee's microphone, and his lips curved into a faint smile. "Thank you all for coming to witness the marriage of Bai Yin and me."

The guests erupted in shock and disbelief, some gasped, some covered their mouths in amazement, and others whispered among themselves...

Chen Huaixiao scanned the crowd and spoke with a calm and commanding voice, "Does anyone have any objections?"

The guests immediately fell silent.

It was clear that this big shot was here to snatch his love away.

No one dared to object to such a brazen display of love.

Finally, the romantic wedding march began playing again.

Bai Yin took a deep breath and looked down the aisle at the man who was as handsome as a god, waiting for her at the end of the white rose-covered path.

He was the older brother she had quietly loved for so many years.

Countless times she had imagined herself marrying him, in a romantic white rose and lace wedding gown, with the bridal makeup she had carefully prepared for herself...

It was like a dream come true.

She lifted her wedding dress without hesitation and ran towards Chen Huaixiao, her heart overflowing with love.
