CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: RUNAWAY BRIDE

A bride dressed in her finery, as if she had stumbled into the wrong place, dashed into the first-floor lobby with some panic in her steps!

The previously bustling lobby suddenly quieted down as everyone turned to look, their faces filled with surprise.

What’s going on?

This bride in the wrong place is unbelievably beautiful!

An oval face, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a figure that couldn’t be hidden even by her wedding dress.

A goddess who is a 99 in her own right, with the addition of the pure white wedding dress and bridal makeup, makes a perfect 100, astonishing everyone!

No one knew why she ran here, but when she inadvertently saw Lin Fan, she blurted out Lin Fan’s name and quickly ran to him.

Lin Fan, upon seeing her, was also stunned.

Su Jinjin!

His first love.

The third daughter of the Su Family, who was supposed to be married upstairs tonight!

Lin Fan had no intention of meeting her, so her sudden appearance in front of him, and recognizing him, was entirely unexpected and unimaginable for him, even in his dreams.

Lin Fan was left speechless for a moment, unsure of how to react.

It was so difficult for him.

Behind Su Jinjin, there was another commotion, as if someone was running in this direction.

Su Jinjin heard the noise, showed a look of anxiety, and looked at Lin Fan, pleading, "Lin Fan, they’re coming after me, can you take me away from here?"

What?

Everyone exchanged looks, the bride was supposed to find her groom, yet she wanted a delivery guy to take her away?

Lin Fan finally came to his senses and curiously asked, "What’s going on?"

Su Jinjin said anxiously, "I don’t have time to explain, I don’t want to marry that person!"

"Alright!"

Lin Fan immediately jumped up.

That one sentence "I don’t want to marry" from Su Jinjin was worth a thousand explanations; for Lin Fan, it was enough.

Lin Fan grabbed Su Jinjin’s hand and walked towards the door.

Luo Tianming was dumbfounded; things happened so suddenly. For someone like him, who knew about Lin Fan and Su Jinjin’s relationship, it was almost magical.

Kang Min’er looked puzzled and bewildered, wondering why Su Jinjin had to find Lin Fan.

The two of them had just reached the door.

"Su Jinjin, stop right there!"

A loud shout came from behind.

A young man in a suit, along with a group of people, chased into the lobby.

He was the groom for the night.

Young Master Li, Li Jianxing!

Li Jianxing’s face was full of anger, especially when he saw Su Jinjin holding hands with a delivery man, his eyes nearly burned with rage.

Li Jianxing and Su Jinjin were having a Western-style wedding on the third floor. The pastor asked him if he was willing to take Su Jinjin as his wife.

Li Jianxing smiled like a lecherous pig and loudly said he was willing. Damn, who wouldn’t be? Su Jinjin was really too beautiful. The thought of spending the bridal chamber night with such a beauty had him practically drooling.

However!

When the pastor turned to ask Su Jinjin if she was willing to marry Li Jianxing, Su Jinjin fell silent.

The silence lasted only three seconds, but it was enough to make Li Jianxing anxious.

In the end, Su Jinjin threw down the flowers she was holding and ran off, saying, "I’m not willing," right in front of all the guests.

When the stunned guests finally reacted, Su Jinjin had already run out.

Li Jianxing immediately chased after her with his people.

His bride, unwilling to marry him, had run away.

This left Li Jianxing feeling utterly humiliated and almost furious, particularly because the bridal night he had long awaited might not happen; he had waited for this day for so long, and now that victory was snatched away, how could he not be angry!

Su Jinjin heard Li Jianxing’s angry shout, stopped, turned around, and said calmly, "I’m sorry, I can’t marry you."

Li Jianxing said, "Why? Whatever it is, come back upstairs with me and we’ll talk!"

It was too humiliating in front of so many strangers.

Su Jinjin replied, "I’m not going back with you. I’m leaving."

Li Jianxing pointed at Lin Fan and said angrily, "Who is he?"

Su Jinjin glanced at Lin Fan, unsure of how to introduce the relationship between her and Lin Fan, not wanting to embarrass anyone.

"His name is Lin Fan, Jinjin’s first love,"

Another voice interjected, and a middle-aged noblewoman walked over, her face gloomy.

Lin Fan would never forget this face; she was Su Jinjin’s mother, Zheng Xue’e.

The leading force that broke up Lin Fan and Su Jinjin back then!

Zheng Xue’e, now appearing in a fit of anger, seemed unwilling to spare her daughter any dignity, directly exposing the relationship between Lin Fan and Su Jinjin!

No wonder she was so furious. She believed that Su Jinjin’s runaway was Lin Fan’s doing, that this poor boy had shown up again!

Everyone was amazed!

Besides Luo Tianming, the classmates were all stunned!

Kang Min’er nearly shrieked; what, Lin Fan and Su Jinjin had dated?

So it turned out Lin Fan’s goddess was Su Jinjin, no wonder Su Jinjin sought him out earlier.

The bride’s first love actually helped the bride elope!

This plot is such a cliché!

Li Jianxing was nearly driven mad with rage, feeling utterly betrayed; his bride ran off with her ex-boyfriend. How could Li Jianxing hold his head up if this got out?

It must be the fault of this guy Lin Fan, who spirited away the bride!

For a moment, everyone thought Lin Fan had stirred up this trouble.

Lin Fan was speechless, he felt so wronged.

Su Jinjin quickly said, "Mom, this has nothing to do with Lin Fan. It’s because I don’t want to marry Li Jianxing that I happened to run into Lin Fan."

She spoke the truth, but Zheng Xue’e wasn’t going to believe her.

Zheng Xue’e retorted angrily, "Don’t tell me it was just a coincidence, eating here coincidentally, do you take me for a child!"

Su Jinjin, exasperated, said, "It really is like that, I’m not lying."

Zheng Xue’e shouted, "Enough, I don’t want to hear your lies! Three years, I thought sending you abroad to study would sever you two completely, but no, you’re back and immediately hooking up with him again!"

Su Jinjin’s face turned red, "Mom, what are you saying?"

Zheng Xue’e said furiously, "You don’t like what I’m saying? Look at the mess you’ve made! What’s so good about this Lin Fan that you have to be with him! Look at what he’s wearing, gosh, he’s working as a delivery man! I’ve always said he’s worthless! Su Jinjin, what’s your status, a daughter of the Su Family, you’d give up being the Li Family’s madam to be with this lowly delivery man? Are you trying to infuriate me?"

Su Jinjin found herself speechless, knowing that whatever she said, her mother would never believe her now.

Lin Fan finally spoke up calmly, "Auntie, what Jinjin said is the truth, concerning our innocence, I have to clarify, it was thanks to you that we have nothing between us now, today is really just a coincidence that I ran into her, and she asked me to take her away."

Back then, Lin Fan was filled with dread towards Zheng Xue’e, but facing her again now, he was indifferent.

Zheng Xue’e, anger unable to be contained after being called "Auntie" by Lin Fan, snapped, "Low-class people will always be low-class, no manners! If you want me to believe you, fine, let go of my daughter’s hand and scram, then I’ll believe you!"

Lin Fan smiled, "I’ve cleared things up, whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter to me. But since Jinjin asked for my help, I will help her."

Su Jinjin looked at Lin Fan gratefully and said, "Let’s go, I’ve nothing more to say."

Lin Fan nodded, and the two of them turned and left.

Zheng Xue’e, frustrated and livid, shouted, "Hurry and chase them, bring the lady back to me!"

A group of people immediately ran out to chase, with Li Jianxing leading the way.

Even though Lin Fan had explained, Li Jianxing didn’t believe it; he still thought Lin Fan had abducted Su Jinjin.

He wanted to catch Lin Fan and beat him up.

When they got outside.

They saw Lin Fan already riding away on an electric bike at full speed, with Su Jinjin, still in her wedding dress, sitting on it.

Before everyone’s eyes, the Su Family’s daughter, on her wedding night, ran off with a delivery man.
