204: Chapter 24 The Groom Has Disappeared?!

The next day, at the wedding venue for Chen Ling and Yang Jin.

"Oh my god, you are so beautiful! You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen!"

The makeup artist praised her without reservation right after finishing her makeup.

Although the makeup artist's wording was a bit exaggerated, Chen Ling clearly took it well.

She curled her lips, raised her hand to touch her hair, and then said to the makeup artist, "You aren't the first person to say that."

The makeup artist smiled and stepped back two paces, "Then I surely won't be the last."

In just two short sentences, Chen Ling was coaxed into a rosy blush.

It wasn't until the hired bridesmaid outside came in to tell her.

That it was almost time, that she slowly walked outside.

Because this wedding invited quite a few business figures, Chen Ling took a glass of wine to toast and chat with them before the ceremony began.

Watching Chen Ling smiling brightly not far away, Shen Ya clenched her teeth, "She has such a thick skin!"

Shen Yan picked up his chopsticks and placed the shrimp meat from the plate into Shen Ya's bowl, then said, "Eat something."

Shen Ya turned to look at Shen Yan with surprise, not understanding why Shen Yan could still be so calm.

"Brother, did you secretly become a monk while I wasn't around?"

Shen Yan looked completely bewildered.

"Shen Xiaoya, what on earth do you keep in that little head of yours all day?"

Shen Ya pouted in dissatisfaction, "If you didn't secretly become a monk, then can you tell me why you are so calm seeing your Ex-wife remarrying after betraying you?"

Shen Yan chuckled lightly, shook his head.

"Didn't you already say it? She is irrelevant to me."

Shen Ya rolled her eyes, only feeling that Shen Yan was talking nonsense.

"I can tell you became a monk. If I were the one encountering this, I would definitely go up and start a huge fight with her without a second thought..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yan picked up a piece of shrimp and stuffed it into Shen Ya's mouth.

"Before starting a fight, please eat something first and get back the gift money we paid, okay?"

The mention of gift money immediately made Shen Ya behave.

Although the gift money was only two hundred and fifty yuan, she felt she couldn't just let Chen Ling have that money for nothing.

"You're right, I must eat back the gift money we paid."

With that said, a glint flashed in her eyes, and she picked up her chopsticks, sweeping the dishes on the table clean in a whirlwind.

Over there, Chen Ling was still going from table to table toasting.

Time passed minute by minute.

Soon, Chen Ling arrived at their table.

Seeing the two of them, Chen Ling was shocked.

"Shen Ya?!"

Seeing her shock, Shen Ya put down her chopsticks and sneered.

"What? Are you unhappy to see that I'm still alive?"

Actually, before the accident, Chen Ling and Shen Ya's relationship was quite good.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Ya was so furious when she learned Chen Ling had betrayed her brother.

Hearing Shen Ya's question, Chen Ling moved her lips and said in a low voice, "No, I'm not unhappy. To be honest, I'm quite happy to see you awake and standing in front of me alive."

Shen Ya didn't believe a word Chen Ling said.

What genuine feelings could a woman who would kick someone when they are down, like her, possibly have?

Thinking this, she spoke mockingly, "Don't bother, I can't handle your happiness."

Knowing that continuing the conversation would only make the atmosphere more awkward.

Chen Ling raised her wine glass and said to the other guests present, "Thank you all for coming to my wedding. I'll finish this glass."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately downed the red wine in her glass in one gulp.

After finishing, she got another glass of wine from the Waitress nearby.

This time, she turned the direction of the glass toward Shen Yan.

"Shen Yan, regardless of what happened between us before, I am truly very happy now. I am also very glad that you were willing to come to my wedding. I toast you with this glass."

Hearing this, Shen Yan didn't even lift his head, clearly showing he didn't want to deal with her.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Ling shrugged indifferently.

In her eyes, Shen Yan was just putting on an act.

She believed Shen Yan must still have feelings for her.

If he didn't have feelings for her, he wouldn't have brought Shen Ya to attend her wedding.

After finishing the wine in her hand again, she turned and picked up another wine glass to toast the next table.

Chen Ling's back gradually moved away.

Shen Yan pinched Shen Ya's cheek with his hand and then told her, "Stop watching, keep eating."

Shen Ya shouted at him angrily, "Eat what? Didn't you hear what she just said to you?!"

Shen Yan sighed softly.

"Of course I heard, but why are you getting angry with her?"

Listen to that!

What kind of words was her brother saying?!

She truly suspected her brother had gone off to cultivate Buddhism during the time she was away.

Otherwise, how could she explain his complete lack of reaction to Chen Ling's words?

Just as she had nowhere to vent her anger, Shen Yan cleared his throat and whispered in her ear, "Didn't you say you were going to show me a good show later?"

Hearing this, the anger in Shen Ya's heart subsided quite a bit.

That's right!

She didn't just come here for the free meal!

Thinking of this, she curled her lips and snorted, "That's right! Just wait, the good show is yet to come!"

Chen Ling didn't know that Shen Ya had prepared a good show for her; she was still toasting table by table at this moment.

She had originally intended to take care of all the guests at every table first.

Unexpectedly, before she could finish toasting, two bridesmaids ran to her side anxiously and whispered to her, "Miss Chen, this is bad! The Groom still hasn't arrived for some unknown reason..."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ling's expression immediately changed.

She gripped her wine glass and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Have you been unable to reach his phone?"

The bridesmaid honestly shook her head.

"The staff has been calling the Groom, but for some reason, his phone has been switched off. Miss Chen, could something have happened on the Groom's end?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Ling immediately scolded the bridesmaid in front of her, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! It's such a good day, why are you saying such unlucky things!"

"Forget it, you stay here and drink with them for now. I'll go ask about the situation."

With that, she placed the wine glass in her hand into the bridesmaid's hand and then turned and ran to the hotel room.

Once back in the hotel room, she immediately took out the phone from her bag and called Yang Jin.

The situation was exactly as the bridesmaid had described.

Yang Jin's phone was unreachable; it was switched off.

Looking at the persistently unreachable call, Chen Ling started to panic.

What should I do? What should I do?!

She had invited so many business figures to the wedding today.

If Yang Jin couldn't arrive at the wedding venue in time, she would be utterly humiliated!

Just as she was anxiously pacing around like an ant on a hot pan, her mother walked into the room.

"Daughter?"
