Chapter 103: The Truth Revealed at the Wedding Banquet (2)
"Brother Jin Xiao, you are finally here. Let's go out and toast to our relatives and friends and accept their blessings, okay?"
Lin Shuang buried herself in Shen Jinxiao's arms and held back her tears. When she looked up at Shen Jinxiao, she put on the shy look that a bride should have.
Shen Jinxiao nodded, touched her head, and promised her expressionlessly, “Okay, when the police come and take Dong Hai away, I will take you out and let all relatives and friends see how beautiful our Lin Shuang is.”
It should be to let everyone see how vicious she is.
Now that the mysterious man has been caught, it's time to put an end to it today.
Soon, the police and Political Commissar Zhang arrived at the hotel one after another.
When Political Commissar Zhang rushed over and saw the police handcuffing his son's hands, he was completely stunned.
The police told Political Commissar Zhang what Lin Shuang had just accused, "Just now this female comrade said that Comrade Zhang Donghai came in and said he was her pen pal, and he also said to her..."
Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang looked at the mask on the ground again, his whole body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. He simply could not believe that his son was the mysterious man hiding in the dark and committing heinous crimes.
"Dad, it wasn't me. I didn't touch Lin Shuang. I fainted when I went out to look for someone. When I woke up, I was here. Dad, believe me..."
Zhang Donghai grabbed Lin's father's sleeve and kept denying frantically, but his comrades who had been lying in ambush in the dark swarmed in and took him away.
Political Commissar Zhang staggered after him, his whole body seeming to have been drained of all strength.
The leading intelligence officer pulled Shen Jinxiao aside and patted him on the shoulder, “You can terminate the wedding. The police comrade said that Comrade Lin will be taken away first to make a record.”
Shen Jinxiao shook his head and bought time with him, waiting to take the person away after the wedding.
The dishes at the banquet have almost been served, but the bride and groom have yet to appear.
The emcee on the stage had long been at a loss for words, and just when he was about to quit, someone finally came up to tell the bride and groom that they were ready, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Amidst applause and countless people's teasing looks, Lin Shuang was the first to go on stage, holding up her wedding dress, leaping for joy like a real bride.
Before the groom came on stage, Father Lin seemed to have sensed something and put his hand on Shen Jinxiao's shoulder. His eyes were red and he lowered his voice to beg him, "Jinxiao, please, no matter what happens, just don't bother with her because she doesn't have much time left. She only has this one wish, please don't let her down, okay?"
Shen Jinxiao just silently stared at the old man in front of him who had aged a dozen years in such a short period of time, his eyes moist.
He loves his family, but he also loves his family members just as much!
Shen Jinxiao did not respond to him, but turned indifferently and walked towards the stage at the emcee's urging.
The moment Shen Jinxiao stood on the stage covered with red silk, he seemed to have returned to the day when he and Meng Shuyue held a wedding banquet.
The guests below were whispering to each other and pointing fingers at Lin Shuang. Even if they were speaking quietly, one could still hear them clearly if one listened carefully.
"Oh my god, I used to say that the Shen family kid married the Lin family girl for the second time, which was simply an old cow eating young grass. Now this young grass has been trampled by so many people, so why did the Shen family kid still marry her?"
"That's right. I thought that Mr. Shen had run away and that the two of them would definitely not be able to hold the banquet. I didn't expect that they would actually come. This Mr. Shen is really tolerant. He could tolerate his ex-wife cheating on him and giving birth to three children..."
The gathered Lin family guests were talking at once, treating the wedding banquet as a joke, and completely forgetting that there were two guests from the Shen family who were also there to drink.
Shen Ting's face turned pale after hearing this, and she finally understood what those teasing and mocking looks just now meant.
No matter what, she could not have imagined that the daughter-in-law candidate she had always admired had become so notorious.
But Lin Shuang on the stage seemed to be immersed in her own world. She didn't hear the discussions of her relatives and friends below the stage at all. She followed the procedure and watched Shen Jinxiao express his love to him.
But Shen Jinxiao had a cold face throughout the whole process, as if he was staying out of it.
It was also the first time for the MC to host such an awkward wedding, and he just wanted to end it immediately.
He followed the Western wedding process given to him by his bride and proceeded directly to the last step.
"Then please ask the bride and groom to put their rings on each other..."
Lin Shuang stared at Shen Jinxiao with sparkling eyes, completely losing the desperate look she had just shown in the lounge.
She took out the ring box she had always carried with her, and shyly put her gold ring on his hand, motioning for him to put it on her.
But Shen Jinxiao did not move. Under Lin Shuang's expectant eyes, he loosened his fingers and let the gold ring roll down his trouser hem to the ground.
The awkward atmosphere on the scene reached its peak.
Lin Shuang, however, seemed to not care at all as she bent down to pick up the ring on the ground, motioned to the MC to ask "Bride, are you willing to marry the groom?" and finally put it on herself.
“I am willing to marry Comrade Shen Jinxiao. As his wife, I will love him, respect him, bear children for him, and live a happy life!”
She read it aloud in front of all the guests, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the ring in her hand.
Then, she couldn’t wait to take out another men’s ring, and reached out to pull Shen Jinxiao’s hand, trying to put it on him.
The emcee was extremely embarrassed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the groom's eyes were filled with reluctance.
But he continued according to the script, "Then is our groom willing to..."
Before she could finish her question, the groom, who had been expressionless and motionless, suddenly waved his arm, and Lin Shuang was thrown to the ground. The gold men's ring in his hand drew a parabola in the air and rolled to the stage with a crisp sound.
This sound was accompanied by the man's firm and resolute refusal.
"I don't want to marry Lin Shuang!"
"Because she doesn't deserve it!"
The three words exploded like three thunderclaps.
Lin Shuang fell to the ground, her palms rubbing against the ground and it was burning painful, but she didn't feel it at all.
Because she heard the sound of her own heart breaking.
The audience exploded as if cold water was splashed into a frying pan.
Lin Shuang looked up with a stiff neck at the man who was looking down at her. She felt that the world was gray and everything seemed to be gradually collapsing in her eyes.
She only wanted him to fulfill this last wish, but why couldn't he give her a little love before he died?
In fact, she had known about her illness for a long time, but they had kept it from her.
But she also vaguely knew from the cautious expressions of the doctors and nurses when they wore masks that she had some incurable disease.
She originally thought that Shen Jinxiao would pity her and give her the last bit of respect because she had given him blood transfusions and taken care of him meticulously for the past three years.
But he didn't.
He didn't even give her a symbolic wedding and publicly said that she was unworthy.
Lin Shuang burst into tears. She looked at the man in front of her and choked up and wailed, "Why, why didn't you even give me a wedding? You promised to marry me. How could you lie?"
Facing Lin Shuang's puzzled gaze, Shen Jinxiao's eyes were filled with anger, and he roared out word by word, revealing the truth that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, "Because you killed my father and crippled my son!"
