Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 216 - 216 216 All Wrong

Chapter 216: Chapter 216 All Wrong Chapter 216: Chapter 216 All Wrong “Miss Jian Rou, do you take Mr. Sheng Siyuan to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in the estate of matrimony, to love, honor, comfort him, and keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?”

“I do!”

In the spotlight of the crowd, the officiating minister first asked the bride for her wedding vows.

Jian Rou, of course, agreed wholeheartedly.

Then, another round of applause broke out in the venue, blessing the couple anew.

The minister then turned to the groom.

“Mr. Sheng Siyuan, do you take Miss Jian Rou to be your wife, to cherish and love her for a lifetime?”

“…”

The man bowed his head, not answering the question.

His expression was somewhat peculiar.

Upon seeing this, Jian Rou grew anxious. She turned her head to look at the man and whispered urgently, “Cousin?”

After about ten seconds, the man finally raised his head.

“Mr. Sheng Siyuan?”

“Minister, I want to ask you a question. After arriving here, what would you do first to get settled in?”

He interrupted and, instead of answering, asked the minister another question.

The minister was taken aback.

“Well, naturally, I would first obtain proper identification documents according to the local regulations. Mr. Sheng Siyuan, it is your wedding ceremony now. Shall we continue?”

“Is that so?”

His response was still irrelevant to the original question.

However, his expression changed; his complexion turned pale as the blood drained from his face.

“Cousin?”

Jian Rou, sensing something wrong, didn’t care that all the guests were watching her as she quickly approached him.

“Cousin, what’s wrong? Whatever it is, can we talk about it later? Let’s just finish the wedding ceremony, okay?”

She was practically pleading with the man.

However, her heart sank when the man slowly lifted his head and looked at her. The panic in his eyes was something she had never seen before.

The illustrious CEO of Shengshi Group.

A man who stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid, now displaying panic in his eyes.

“She’s in trouble!”

“What?” Jian Rou didn’t understand.

“Who’s in trouble? Cousin, what are you trying to say?”

“…”

No one answered her.

The man, as if suddenly bereft of all composure and calm, dropped the wedding ring from his hand and removed the groom’s flower from his chest. He then walked down from the stage as if he had lost his soul.

“I was wrong, I’ve made a mistake. She didn’t change identities to hide; she’s in trouble, in trouble…”

He stumbled down like a lost soul.

Just then, the doors of the banquet hall burst open, and someone rushed in from the outside.

“President, it’s bad news! I just received word that the lady’s bounty on the underworld market is gone!”

It turned out to be Xu Guannan.

In an instant, overwhelming fear descended upon the man who had just walked down, his vision darkened, and he collapsed to the ground.

“President!”

“Cousin—”

The entire venue descended into chaos.

Jian Rou also rushed down from the stage, intending to help the man.

No, that’s not right.

She meant to stop him.

But by the time she had managed to lift her wedding dress and get behind him, she saw that he had already been helped up by Xu Guannan and was stumbling towards the exit amidst the confusion, without looking back.

“Sheng Siyuan, you stop right there!”

Jian Rou finally shouted loudly.

She clutched her wedding dress and, under the suddenly silent gaze of everyone present, trembled as she stared at the man’s retreating figure.

“Sheng Siyuan, this is our wedding. Where are you going? Are you going to abandon me?”

She asked, word by word, through her tears.

Hearing this, the man who was almost at the door finally stopped in his tracks.

Leaning on a bodyguard next to him, it took more than ten seconds before he slowly turned around, looking back at her.

“Sorry, Jian Rou, I can’t marry you.”

“!!!!”

It was like a bolt from the blue!

The wedding scene instantly burst into uproar, and all color drained from Jian Rou’s face.

Her mind went completely blank.

“Why? We are already having the wedding, why are you telling me now that you can’t marry me?”

She walked toward him step by step, her complexion as pale as a corpse.

Sheng Siyuan: “…”

Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly charged out of the banquet, fury uncontained, and threw himself in front of Siyuan.

“Sheng Siyuan, are you playing us?”

It turned out to be Jian Zhongzhou.

When Sheng Siyuan saw this man, his expression became indifferent.

“Have I played you? Don’t you understand, Uncle? In Provincial City, if you hadn’t brought your daughter there deliberately, would Yin Hehe have been driven away by you?”

“What did you say?”

As these words were spoken, Jian Zhongzhou was stunned.

And Jian Rou, standing behind him, also had an expression of utter disbelief, as if something had struck her mind.

Yin Hehe?

He was actually talking about… that woman? Wasn’t she already dead?

“She’s not dead, Mr. Jian. The Han Lina who was with the young master in Provincial City is our lady. They were getting along well, but when your daughter suddenly showed up, our lady started having a rift with our young master.”

Xu Guannan answered this question on behalf of his boss.

In an instant, as the words fell, the father and daughter were struck as if by lightning and couldn’t utter another word.

Even the elderly Mrs. Sheng of the Sheng family, who was approaching, visibly changed her expression and didn’t dare to move a step closer.

She had played no small part in this matter.

“Siyuan, is everything you said true? Xiaohan is Hehe?” It was the old master of the Sheng family who, after hearing the news, came over excitedly.

Sheng Siyuan nodded: “Yes!”

Old Master Sheng: “Then where is she? Where did she go?”

Immediately, Sheng Siyuan’s face turned pale again: “She’s in trouble; I have to go find her.”

Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.

“Since you knew she was Yin Hehe, why did you still agree to marry me? Could it be… you’ve been using me as a pawn for reconciliation between you two from the beginning? Was this wedding just a play you directed?”

Jian Rou’s screams followed from behind.

And this time, having lost her momentum, she no longer cared about holding back and cried out everything she had guessed.

The woman indeed was quite clever.

Sheng Siyuan stopped again.

However, his expression at that moment turned icy to the extreme, as if enveloped in frost. He didn’t even turn around before the biting chill was palpable.

“Do you really have the gall to ask me this?”

He slowly turned again to look at her.

“Jian Rou, I haven’t exposed the disgraceful things you’ve done out of respect for the fact that we grew up together. I haven’t destroyed your reputation, so you should be grateful!”

“…”

“Also, you’d better hope I find her safe and sound, because I won’t let off anyone involved in that incident back then!”

He was like a demon, exuding a terrifyingly cold aura. Those blood-red pupils were enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Jian Rou too, suddenly lost all color in her face.

She surely knew which incident he was referring to: it was about him being drugged, and after he was with that woman, they dragged him back.

Jian Rou watched him leave with her own eyes.

She looked at the chaotic wedding scene and felt like a joke.

“Sheng Siyuan, why are you doing this to me? I came back to you, do you hate me so much? Do you want to take revenge on me like this?”

She murmured to herself.

A strong sense of resentment surged up from the bottom of her heart, and she clenched the small bouquet tightly.

Even the sharp thorns pricked her delicate palms until they bled.

She seemed not to feel it at all.
