Chapter 884: Grand Wedding
Today, the scorching sun hangs high, and the clouds are full of rosy light.
Longcheng "Moon Palace" Hotel.
Jiang Yuanliang and Shen Jingjing's grand wedding.
Politicians, dignitaries, business tycoons, and top celebrities in the entertainment industry gathered together; the lenses of the national mainstream media were competing to aim at this place, and the sound of shutters was incessant, freezing this highly anticipated wedding into the most dazzling scenery in Longcheng.
For this wedding, the Jiangdong Group spent a fortune, completely booking the "Moon Palace" Hotel from the inside out. Guests arriving from other places didn't need to run around and stayed directly here. The hotel staff cooperated fully with the wedding team's scheduling, from the overall layout of the hall to the placement of a single flower arrangement and the angle of a lamp, all were meticulously crafted and decorated to perfection. Every detail was permeated with rich joy and extreme luxury.
In the bridal lounge, Shen Jingjing had just finished her makeup and hair and was preparing to put on her wedding dress.
"It's a good thing you moved the wedding date forward. Otherwise, if your belly grew another circle, I'm afraid you really wouldn't be able to wear this wedding dress, and my hard work would have been in vain." Ni Man joked with a smile while carefully arranging the skirt of the wedding dress for her, her fingertips gently smoothing out the wrinkles on the fabric, her tone full of doting, "Is it tight? Don't force it. If you're uncomfortable, I'll adjust it for you immediately."
Shen Jingjing turned half a circle in front of the full-length mirror. The woman in the mirror had gentle eyebrows and eyes, exquisite makeup, and was wearing a white veil. She had both the shyness and softness of a bride and a sense of calm and atmosphere after the passage of time. There was an irrepressible smile in her eyes as she said softly: "It's just right, not loose or tight. Manman, it's really beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined."
As she said this, she tilted her head to look at Ni Man and thanked her sincerely: "Manman, thank you for designing the wedding dress for me and being willing to be my bridesmaid."
"I couldn't ask for more." Ni Man also smiled: "I was stunned when you asked me. I was thinking, how could it be my turn?"
Shen Jingjing was a little embarrassed, but in fact, both of them knew well that it was not an easy thing for Shen Jingjing to find an unmarried female friend to be her bridesmaid at her age.
"Mom."
At this time, Shen Ci knocked on the door of the lounge and led someone in: "Aunt Xiaoyan is here."
"Xiaoyan!"
"Jingjing!"
Hu Xiaoyan stepped forward excitedly, held Shen Jingjing's hands, and looked at her with stunning eyes: "My god, you are really beautiful."
"I thought you wouldn't make it. I've been thinking about it." Shen Jingjing held her hand, her eyes full of joy.
"Oh, don't mention it. I was originally booked to come yesterday, but the flight was canceled due to a thunderstorm, so I had to change it to today. Fortunately, it took off on time." Hu Xiaoyan felt a little moved because, besides her own family, Shen Jingjing only invited her from her hometown: "I promised you I would come, so I definitely would."
"As soon as the news of you and Jiang Yuanliang getting married came out, the classmate group in our hometown exploded." Hu Xiaoyan changed the subject and pulled Shen Jingjing to sit on the sofa on the side: "Didn't Meifeng call you?"
Shen Jingjing nodded with a smile: "She did. Maybe she wanted me to be polite and invite her, but I didn't mention it, so she was too embarrassed to bring it up."
Hu Xiaoyan sneered: "Hmph, who doesn't understand her little thoughts? Back then, she was hell-bent on stuffing her younger brother, who had a tendency to domestic violence, to you, trying every possible way to match you two. Now that you've married so well, even if her family's conditions were better, they couldn't even touch the edge of Jiang Yuanliang's conditions. Now that this news is out, isn't it just a hard slap in her face?"
Shen Jingjing shook her head gently, a flash of indifference passing through her eyes. For those people in her hometown with whom she had little interaction and with whom she would likely have no further involvement in the future, she was no longer willing to spend any more effort mentioning them. She patted Hu Xiaoyan's hand lightly, "Let's not talk about her. I'm already very happy that you can come. Stay in Longcheng for a few more days this time. I'll have Yuanliang arrange for someone to accompany you to have a good look around."
Hu Xiaoyan nodded with a smile and was about to say something else when Wen Shuyi pushed the door and walked in. Her tone was gentle but carried a hint of urgency as she whispered: "Jingjing, it's almost time. The guests have all arrived. Let's prepare; it's time to appear."
The lounge became busy again. The veil and bouquet were all in place. Shen Ci watched her mother in the wedding dress, and her eyes suddenly turned hot. The tears rolled down unexpectedly.
This scene happened to be seen by Wen Shuyi, who couldn't help but laugh, joking in a gentle tone: "Look at you, child. It's not time for sentimentality yet. Why did A-Ci cry first?"
Shen Jingjing turned to look and happened to see her daughter hurriedly wiping away her tears with the back of her hand, still forcing a smile. Her heart softened suddenly, and her eyes turned red as well. Her voice carried a hint of choking: "You child, don't make me cry."
Shen Ci nodded, both crying and laughing: "I'm just happy. I'll go out first and wait in the hall to see you walk out."
The hall was full of guests. The wedding host was a famous TV program host in the country, with a steady stage presence and witty words. Before the opening, there was a well-known singer performing, making the atmosphere at the scene even more enthusiastic.
When the time came, amidst warm applause, the host announced the bride's appearance loudly.
As the words fell, the stone archway at the end of the hall, decorated with flowers and white gauze, slowly opened to both sides. The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and only a warm golden spotlight hit Shen Jingjing accurately and gently, isolating her from everything around her and making her the only focus of the whole scene.
She was wearing a white wedding dress, her posture was gentle, and her steps were slow as she walked toward Jiang Yuanliang in the center of the stage step by step. The skirt swept across the ground with a faint sound, like time whispering, and like happiness flowing.
The scene was quiet, and everyone was watching her seriously, with only the romantic and loyal "We Long Live" playing in the background.
At this moment, she was the focus of everyone's eyes and the protagonist of her own life.
And from the moment Shen Jingjing appeared, Jiang Yuanliang's gaze had been left on her without reservation. His gaze was extremely hot, watching his bride walk toward him like a dream, as if every step had passed through his heart.
It wasn't until the two were face to face and Jiang Yuanliang stretched out his hands to take Shen Jingjing's hands that a burst of intense applause erupted at the scene.
Offstage, Shen Ci, A-Li, Shen Yingying, and a group of people all cried with red eyes, unable to control themselves no matter how they tried.
The old lady was also wiping away tears continuously.
"Look, in-law, the two are really a match, a talented man and a beautiful woman." Old Man Jiang was the happiest, turning to whisper to the old lady.
The old lady nodded while wiping away tears: "It's really good, really good."
Master Yu, who was on the side, also came. He watched Old Man Jiang's overjoyed appearance and couldn't help but tease him, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule: "I say, you old thing, you used to run to my place every few days, sighing all day long, just unable to get over your own heart, dissatisfied with the marriage Yuanliang found, and trying every possible way to make me 'point him out'. Now you look happier than anyone."
"Oh, Master, you can't talk nonsense!" Old Man Jiang's eyes widened as soon as he heard this, and he waved his hands repeatedly to deny it, his tone carrying a hint of guilt but pretending to be calm, "How could that be? I see it must be that you are old, and your forgetfulness has grown. When I ran to your place back then, there was only one purpose, and that was to visit you. It had nothing to do with Yuanliang's marriage!"
"Heh." Master Yu couldn't help but sneer and mock: "You're really cleaning yourself up. I don't know who it was that wouldn't leave my place and insisted on making me guide him."
The old man didn't take it seriously. What did the things back then have to do with him now?
Anyway, he was one hundred percent satisfied with Shen Jingjing now.
"Master, let me tell you, Jingjing is now the lucky star of our Jiang family. Twins, she conceived twins for our Jiang family." The old man raised his eyebrows and curled his lips: "I'm telling you, you don't understand. You've been childless all your life and can't experience my happiness."
Master Yu scoffed at Old Man Jiang's happiness: "Everyone's pursuit of life is different. You build your happiness on your children, which is obtaining emotional value from others. I'm different. I just want to live a long life and be rich and noble. I'm too lazy to worry about other people's affairs unless they give me money."
While the two were bickering, Shen Jingjing on the stage had already been moved to tears by Jiang Yuanliang's affectionate confession.
"Groom, you can kiss your bride now."
Following this sentence from the host, everyone at the scene raised their mobile phones in unison.
Seeing this, Shen Jingjing's tear-stained cheeks flushed, but she still cooperated with Jiang Yuanliang, closed her eyes gently, and let him hold her cheeks and slowly plant a gentle kiss.
This kiss was gentle and pious, filled with love and expectations, carrying the gentleness of the past, and opening the years to come.
The next second, fireworks splashed everywhere at the scene, and applause thundered. Everyone stood up to applaud and scream to send their blessings. ===== CHAPTER 885 =====
