Chapter 285 The Wedding Will Continue
Hearing the voice, Tan Xiangchen turned around and saw Li Yuzhu, his eyes filled with surprise and excitement.
He instinctively shook off Li Yumei's hand, strode towards Li Yuzhu, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "The person I love is Yuzhu, not you."
Looking at everything before her, Li Yumei's hopes shattered instantly.
A flicker of disappointment and anger crossed her face. She abruptly threw off her veil and let out a cold laugh: "Hahaha, Li Yuzhu, why do you always show up at crucial moments and ruin my plans!" Her eyes were as dark as an abyss as she stared intently at Li Yuzhu, as if she wanted to devour her alive.
Li Yuzhu's expression was calm. She slowly walked towards Tan Xiangchen, intertwined her fingers with his, as if declaring their love to the world.
Then, she turned to look at Li Yumei, her voice calm but tinged with disappointment: "Yumei, I have always been lenient with you, so why did you do this today? And why did you hurt me and Yingxue? To save me, Yingxue fell into the sea and her fate is unknown!"
A tear glistened in Li Yuzhu's eyes; she simply couldn't understand why Li Yumei would go to such lengths.
The guests inside the church were stunned by this sudden turn of events.
People began to whisper among themselves, and for a moment, the church was filled with noise.
Seeing this, Tan Zhengfan loudly reassured the guests: "Please be calm, everyone. The wedding will continue. Please believe that everything will be alright."
Standing before Tan Xiangchen, Li Yumei's eyes were filled with burning love. Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of expectation mixed with despair: "Xiangchen, I truly love you. For so many years, you've been the only one in my heart. Don't marry Li Yuzhu, choose me, okay?" Her hands gripped Tan Xiangchen's arm tightly, as if that were the only way to hold onto her happiness.
At this moment, the emotions she had suppressed for so long poured out like a flood breaking through a dam. She longed for Tan Xiangchen to see her true feelings and to respond to her deep love.
Upon hearing Li Yumei's confession, Tan Xiangchen's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with anger and disgust.
He forcefully shook off Li Yumei's hand, his voice icy cold: "Li Yumei, don't be so shameless!" His eyes revealed deep disgust, as if Li Yumei was the most repulsive being in the world.
"I don't want to repeat myself. You'd better have some self-awareness and learn to love yourself!" Tan Xiangchen's tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation. His feelings for Li Yumei had long since vanished with the passage of time, leaving only endless disgust.
Li Yumei staggered as Tan Xiangchen shook her off, almost falling. Tears welled up in her eyes, tears filled with helplessness and despair.
"No, Xiang Chen, I can't live without you! I can't watch you with her!" she cried out, waving her hands wildly in the air, trying to grab Tan Xiang Chen, but Tan Xiang Chen took a few steps back as if avoiding a plague.
Looking at Li Yumei's frenzied state, Tan Xiangchen felt no pity. He turned to his subordinates and coldly ordered, "Drag her away. Don't let her embarrass herself here!"
The men immediately stepped forward, one of them grabbing one of Li Yumei's arms and dragging her out.
Li Yumei struggled desperately, kicking her legs wildly on the ground and calling out Tan Xiangchen's name repeatedly, but all of this was in vain.
When she was taken away, she cried so hard that it seemed to shake the entire church.
But she could no longer win back Tan Xiangchen's heart and could only watch helplessly as her dream of love was completely shattered.
After Li Yumei was taken away, the noise inside the church gradually subsided, and everything returned to normal.
The priest cleared his throat, a gentle smile spreading across his face as he tried to ease the tense atmosphere: "Alright, let's continue this sacred wedding." His voice echoed through the church, carrying a calming power.
The priest slowly walked up to Tan Xiangchen and Li Yuzhu, and solemnly asked, "Mr. Tan Xiangchen, Ms. Li Yuzhu, whether in poverty or wealth, in sickness or in health, are you willing to stay together and never leave each other for the rest of your lives?"
After speaking, his gaze swept over Tan Xiangchen and Li Yuzhu in turn, his eyes filled with expectation and blessings.
Tan Xiangchen turned to look at Li Yuzhu, his eyes filled with deep affection, and his voice was firm and powerful: "I do."
Li Yuzhu looked back at Tan Xiangchen, her eyes glistening with tears. She nodded gently and said softly, "I do."
Their voices intertwined, echoing throughout the church for a long time, as if declaring their unwavering love to the world.
Tan Xiangchen and Li Yuzhu stood facing each other, their hands trembling slightly as they accepted the rings from each other.
Tan Xiangchen gently picked up the ring and slowly slipped it onto Li Yuzhu's finger. Then he held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her hand into his own life.
Li Yuzhu also put a ring on Tan Xiangchen's finger, and the two of them kept their eyes locked together, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
Then, Tan Xiangchen slowly approached Li Yuzhu, his eyes filled with love and tenderness. He gently cupped Li Yuzhu's face and, witnessed by everyone, passionately kissed her lips.
At that moment, the church erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers as everyone offered their sincerest blessings to the newlyweds.
As Tan Xiangchen and Li Yuzhu kissed, their eyes were filled with joy, but even more so with tears.
They have gone through so many twists and turns, so much suffering, to finally get to where they are today.
All the pain, struggles, and misunderstandings of the past turned into tears of happiness at this moment, and they embraced each other tightly.
……
At the seaside, the waves relentlessly crashed against the rocks, making a dull thud.
Tan Zhengchu carried Su Yingxue, making his way to the shore step by step with difficulty. His hair was soaked with seawater, strands of it sticking to his face, and seawater kept sliding down his cheeks.
Su Yingxue kept her eyes tightly closed, her face as pale as paper, lifeless.
Tan Zhengchu was extremely anxious. As soon as they reached the shore, he gently placed Su Yingxue on the sand. He bent down slightly and began artificial respiration on Su Yingxue without hesitation.
One, two… Finally, Su Yingxue choked on a mouthful of seawater with a "whoosh," followed by a violent cough. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Tan Zhengchu in front of her, her eyes filled with relief at surviving a close call.
She raised her hand and gently touched Tan Zhengchu's face, a weak but reassuring smile appearing on her lips.
Tan Zhengchu looked at Su Yingxue with heartache in his eyes and asked softly, "Yingxue, are you scared?"
Su Yingxue shook her head, her voice weak but firm: "Zhengchu, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
