The sun sets in the west and the sky becomes dark.
The bride holding white roses stood at one end of the arched flower gallery, her slender figure looking a little lonely in the last rays of the setting sun.
The evening wind still carried a bit of the midsummer heat wave, blowing the woman's veil.
Through the thin veil, Shen Qingwu saw that the guest seats on both sides were crowded with people.
The sound of their whispers reached her ears from time to time.
"It was agreed that it would take an hour, but it's been almost two hours now, and the groom is still missing. Is the marriage still consummated?"
"You didn't check your phone?"
"What's wrong?"
"The paparazzi just captured the shocking news. Mr. Lu and his personal secretary entered the same hotel more than an hour ago. Now there are rumors on the Internet that Mr. Lu ran away from marriage because of love."
"What about this Miss Shen?"
"I'm afraid she doesn't know yet and is still waiting there. Maybe Mr. Lu is in the hotel with the secretary and is enjoying life, hehehe..."
"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman has been with Mr. Lu for so long and can't get anything out of her. In the end, she was abandoned by a man in public at the wedding."
"Now the whole world knows that she is a broken shoe that Mr. Lu played with and then threw away. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to marry into such a prominent family again."
"Oh, you deserve it. Climb high branches and climb high branches. The higher you climb, the harder you fall."
"She just relies on her face to seduce men. If she serves people with sex, it will end sooner or later."
Shen Qingwu's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes dropped slightly, falling on the green grass at his feet.
Cheng Kai, who was standing next to her, also heard it, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He hurriedly advised: "Miss Shen, don't listen to their nonsense. Mr. Lu left for official business and he will not abandon you. He must have been delayed by something. Maybe Mr. Lu will be here soon."
At this time, several bridesmaids gathered around.
Obviously, they also heard the comments of those guests.
Liang Ziqi and Song Si'an were the ones who knew about Lu Sui's affair, but they couldn't figure out whether Shen Qingwu wanted to marry or not. They looked at each other, worry evident in each other's eyes.
Liang Ziqi said carefully: "Xiaowu, are we still waiting?"
"what time is it?"
"Seven o'clock."
After a moment of silence, the woman responded in a low voice: "Well, I won't wait any longer."
Hearing this, Cheng Kai was about to open his mouth to give some more advice, but was blocked by Song Si'an and several bridesmaids.
He had no choice but to continue calling his boss, but no matter how many times he called, no one answered the phone.
Shen Qingwu lifted the veil and handed the bouquet to Liang Ziqi.
Her high heels studded with diamonds stepped on the purple carpet. Step by step, in full view of everyone, she walked alone through the arched corridor covered with roses and walked to the wedding stage.
After taking the host's microphone, she first bent and bowed.
"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long."
A cool yet sweet voice came from the microphone, and the lingering sound was lingering. For a moment, everyone was silent, and the place was surprisingly quiet.
Everyone was looking forward to seeing the excitement at this time.
I just want to see how Miss Shen makes a fool of herself in public.
"As everyone can see, this wedding can no longer go ahead."
"I officially announce that I, Shen Qingwu, cancel my engagement with Lu Suisui."
"I'm really sorry for wasting everyone's time. It's dinner time now, and the banquet has been prepared. If you don't mind, you can move to the banquet hall to dine."
After stepping down, she first personally apologized to the elders of the Ji, Xie, and Pei families.
The old lady of the Pei family also came. She looked at Shen Qingwu with a little more pity in her eyes, "What a good boy, I have been wronged."
Mrs. Pei supported the old lady, nodded, and comforted her: "Girl, don't be sad, good luck lies ahead."
The expression on Shen Qingwu's face seemed to be vaguely sad, and he lowered his eyebrows and said "thank you" softly.
"puff"--
Pei Muchi, who was accompanying Mrs. Pei, couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this.
Old Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei turned back to glare at him, and then Pei Muchi shut up.
"My child, I'm sorry. Although my little grandson is naughty, he doesn't mean any harm."
Shen Qingwu glanced lightly in the direction of Pei Muchi, then lowered his eyes and responded obediently: "I know."
She accompanied Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei and said some more polite words, and then the Pei family prepared to leave.
When Pei Muchi passed by her, he lowered his voice and said, "Good acting skills."
Shen Qingwu rolled his eyes at him.
Seeing that the guests had almost left, she came to the old man.
Mr. Lu was still sitting in his seat, looking very unhappy. Lu subsequently disappeared from the wedding, and was photographed going to a hotel with his secretary. This made the Lu family a big joke in Jingzhou circles.
The more powerful the family, the more they care about face. Men like them can be as romantic as Pei Muchi and fall in love with thousands of flowers, but there must never be any dirty scandal like cheating.
"Grandpa." Shen Qingwu squatted down beside the old man and held his hand.
"Girl Wu." Lu Xueliang looked at the girl's well-behaved face and felt pity in his heart. "It's okay. Grandpa will make the decision for you. Let that brat give you an explanation."
"No, grandpa, my brother has already made his choice, and nothing else matters to me. I'm only worried that grandpa, you will hurt your mind and body because of this. Promise me, don't be angry, okay? I will Take care of it yourself.”
"Silly boy." He reached out and patted the back of her hand.
At this time, the girl was still thinking about his body, and Mr. Lu was very moved.
"That bastard boy has no luck at all!"
Shen Qingwu asked Uncle Zhuang to take Mr. Lu home and told him to pay attention to the old man's physical condition at all times.
"Stinky girl! Who told you to announce the dissolution of the engagement without our consent?"
Wang Man suddenly appeared behind Shen Qingwu.
Wang Man only dared to show up after seeing Mr. Lu leave. If the old man catches her now, she will be scolded bloody.
She just couldn't understand why their family was always in such a passive position.
They were really married, and she was not willing to let her son be deceived by this woman. Now that they have broken off the engagement, she is still unhappy because her son has become the fault party, and even the old man will suffer a serious punishment.
Shen Qingwu turned around and saw Wang Man gritting his teeth as if he wanted to eat her.
She smiled softly and said, "What did Auntie say? Haven't you always wanted us to separate? Why are you not happy now?"
She frowned and complained softly: "This is really difficult to take care of."
Wang Man was so angry at her calm look.
"You...did you do something? Did you frame us for following us? I will tear your face off right now."
However, before she could get closer, Song Sian was already standing in front of Shen Qingwu.
The bridesmaids helped to see off the guests and happened to encounter this scene when they turned back to look for Shen Qingwu.
"You try to move? What? It's not enough for my son to bully us and clean up the waste, now it's his mother?"
Liang Ziqi snorted, "Okay, I'll let everyone come to the show right away and see how your Lu family cleans us up."
An Xi and Luo Xin also said that they knew many reporters and would not mind letting reporters come over to expose this scene.
Wang Man had no choice but to gouge out Shen Qingwu and leave angrily.
Shen Qingwu looked at Wang Man's walking figure and sighed: "We are finally gone, let's go have a meal."
"Ah? Are we really staying for dinner?" Liang Ziqi asked.
"Of course, I'm almost fainting from hunger. Besides, what's wrong with these foods? It's the scumbag who's wrong."
Everyone was amused by her.
So, the group of girls went to the banquet hall playfully.
"You guys eat first, I'll change my clothes and come back."
The lounge is next to the banquet hall, and there is a fitting room inside. According to the wedding procedure, she was supposed to change into the dinner dress here.
Shen Qingwu asked Xiao Ou to bring her regular clothes over earlier.
She planned to change clothes here.
Open the door to the lounge.
His eyes suddenly caught sight of the man on the sofa opposite.
The black shirt with a small stand-up collar is buttoned to the top, and the slim-fitting suit of the same color is ironed without a trace of wrinkles.
The gray-blue hair color adds a touch of unruliness to the man's cold and abstinent temperament, making him look wild and lustful.
A pair of long legs wrapped in a suit were slightly spread apart, with his elbows supporting his knees, and a little scarlet spark between his fingers.
Gray smoke blurred the man's face.
"Have you had enough fun?"
The man's voice was gloomy and low.
