CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 389: THE FINALE

At the wedding venue, the priest stands on the stage, while the master of ceremonies is beside him, repeatedly trying to contact the groom, Fu Youhan.

Below the stage, all the guests were still unaware that the situation had subtly changed. Some were practicing how to deliver congratulatory words later, some were busy networking with influencers, and others were chatting away.

Everything looked joyful and extraordinarily lively.

That is, until the bride entered alone...

The eyes of all the guests quickly focused on Jiang Moxi, and whispers started to spread among them.

"What’s going on? Why did the bride enter by herself?"

"I heard Mrs. Fu doesn’t really have any family! She might be an orphan."

"I heard that the bride is from the Jiang Family, seems like she’s an adopted daughter, but their relationship isn’t very close."

The Jiang Family naturally heard these under-the-breath discussions.

Jiang Tairan was so furious his face turned green.

If Jiang Moxi had allowed them to attend as her maternal family, they wouldn’t be subject to this cold mockery in secret, and they would have been the ones receiving compliments from the other guests!

And the expressions on Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng’s faces were no better.

They were alive and well, standing right there.

But others purposely saying Jiang Moxi was an orphan—how could they feel good about that?

Yet they blamed Jiang Moxi all the same.

If Jiang Moxi had entered arm in arm with Jiang Guosheng, letting Jiang Guosheng hand her over to Fu Youhan, she wouldn’t have appeared so isolated entering the wedding venue by herself.

And they as a couple wouldn’t be facing such criticism!

Jiang Weiwei, seeing Jiang Moxi wearing such an expensive wedding dress and becoming the center of attention, felt a jealousy that twisted inside her.

She really couldn’t understand, how Jiang Moxi, who came from a poor and remote area, could effortlessly obtain everything that Jiang Weiwei herself couldn’t achieve despite all her scheming!

Suchen and Lai De, who were also at the ceremony, were surprised to see Jiang Moxi all by herself on the stage.

"Lai De, didn’t Xixi say she would enter the hall with Mr. Fu? Why is she alone now?"

Indeed, from the start, Suchen and Lai De were very worried that if Jiang Moxi entered the hall alone, other people would gossip.

So Suchen even suggested to Jiang Moxi that she could enter the hall holding hands with Lai De.

They even planned to take this opportunity to have Jiang Moxi acknowledge them as her parents.

But back then, Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan said that they would enter the wedding venue together.

This statement made it impossible for Suchen and Lai De to voice their suggestion.

But now, what should have been a warm and romantic scene of the two entering together, turned into Jiang Moxi standing there alone, isolated and unsupported.

At that moment, Suchen felt as if his heart was being pricked by countless needles, an indescribable pain.

"I remember she did say that, what happened?" Lai De was also extremely anxious.

Just then, they saw the master of ceremonies step forward to say something to Jiang Moxi, after which she took out her phone to make a call.

Suchen panicked a bit, "Could it be... Mr. Fu has fled the wedding?"

"No! That shouldn’t be possible, my dear. You told me, Mr. Fu was the one who proposed to Xixi, and he was the one who eagerly set the wedding for today!"

Lai De had previously worried that Fu Youhan’s sudden decision to marry Jiang Moxi might have been a whim.

But Suchen told him about the entire process of the proposal and the setting of the wedding date, which made Lai De start to accept this suddenly planned wedding.

But now, the man who initiated the proposal and even the wedding, has suddenly disappeared?

What on earth is going on?

Suchen couldn’t explain it, he could only shake his head desperately: "It’s true, but where has Mr. Fu gone? My god..."

At the anxious moment for Suchen and Lai De, Jiang Moxi also dialed Fu Youhan’s mobile number for the umpteenth time under the host’s urging.

Fortunately, this time Fu Youhan answered the call.

As soon as the call was connected, Fu Youhan quickly spoke up: "Xixi, something unexpected came up on my side. I might..."

But Jiang Moxi seemed to sense what Fu Youhan was about to say and quickly interrupted him.

"Fu Youhan, I don’t want to hear you can’t make it or that you can’t attend the wedding ceremony. A wedding is not child’s play, it’s sacred! Since you chose this date, we should see it through properly!"

She didn’t want the wedding ceremony she was risking her life for to turn into a farce and a laughing stock for everyone!

But Fu Youhan said, "But I really can’t make it here, Xixi! Don’t be angry, I promise I will organize a more grand wedding later to make it up to you, is that okay?"

Although she had long guessed that once Fu Youhan left, he was unlikely to return,

Hearing him say it with his own words, Jiang Moxi’s heart still couldn’t stop trembling.

"Fu Youhan, are you with Wen You right now?" Jiang Moxi’s eyes were red.

Fu Youhan hesitated for a moment before responding: "Yes, but Xixi, please believe me, Wen You and I don’t have that kind of relationship. Once I settle things here, I will immediately come back to you, okay?"

But Jiang Moxi said with a hoarse voice, "Fu Youhan, there are no other options. Unless you come back now for the wedding, there won’t be a wedding in the future. Even if there is, it will be with someone else."

On the other end of the phone, Fu Youhan felt a tremor in his heart.

Because he understood what Jiang Moxi meant—their relationship would be irrevocably severed if today he didn’t rush back and continue the wedding.

Thinking of those two days when Jiang Moxi went missing, and his desperation being unable to find her, Fu Youhan indeed wanted to rush back.

But at that moment, the person behind him said, "They’ve taken Wen You away, Third Young Master."

Upon hearing this, all of Fu Youhan’s hesitation vanished.

"Xixi, Wen You is in life-threatening danger now. Listen, please don’t make a scene, okay?"

He tried to appease Jiang Moxi before rescuing Wen You.

Because he also understood how unbearable it must feel to be left alone at the wedding scene.

But Jiang Moxi didn’t seem to get his helplessness and coldly said, "Fu Youhan, I’m not making a scene! Wen You is not in danger, you can still make it. But if you don’t come, we will never meet again in this lifetime!"

Fu Youhan was also frightened by the resolute tone in Jiang Moxi’s voice, he desperately wanted to do something to change the situation.

But then another shout came from behind him, "Third Young Master, our blockade didn’t stop their car, they broke through."

Consequently, Fu Youhan had no choice but to focus on the situation, "Xixi, I owe Wen You a life, I’m sorry..."

Then, Fu Youhan hung up the phone first.

Jiang Moxi’s hand holding the phone slowly slid down, and the phone smashed onto the ground.

Her clear and lucid eyes suddenly became vacant and wooden; her entire demeanor was like a body from which the soul had been sucked out, completely lifeless.

The host sensed the anomaly and hurriedly approached the first moment.

"Mrs. Fu, what did Mr. Fu say?"

But Jiang Moxi did not respond as if she couldn’t understand his words.

"Mrs. Fu?"

The host was very anxious, as many guests below had also noticed the commotion and were starting to talk.

Seeing this, Suchen and Lai De promptly stepped forward, "Xixi, what happened?"

When Jiang Moxi heard Suchen’s voice, her dull eyes finally showed a bit of agitation.

"He’s not coming..."

The wedding dress she wore, the bridal bouquet in her hands, and the countless guests all around, which were supposed to be romantic witnesses, had now become the utmost irony.
