At the entrance of the Song family's residence, everyone was watching and waiting to see what would happen.
Song Xue has been arrested, and her groom has yet to come to fetch her.
It seems the Song family's good days are coming to an end.
Just when everyone was certain that the groom wouldn't come.
Suddenly, the sound of a military vehicle came from afar.
A military jeep, adorned with a large red flower, drove towards them.
Following behind was a wedding procession of 20 old-fashioned bicycles.
A group of people played music and drums, creating quite a lively atmosphere.
"Look! The groom is here!"

Lin Xiuzhi chuckled upon seeing this, thinking to himself, "Song Ning, don't be so smug. You're getting married, and the groom isn't even coming. It looks like the Huo family will probably annul the engagement in a few days."
Song Ning, sitting inside, could roughly hear the discussions outside.
Huo Beian was delayed due to his mission...
