Yang Mo Xiao let her hair down and combed it with a comb, then turned around and shouted: "Coming!"

  Because of doing hair styling, Su Yan specially said before leaving yesterday that the hair should not be tied up with clips and rubber bands, which will leave marks.

  Yang Fuxiao walked through the living room outside. She casually placed her comb on the coffee table, and the doorbell rang twice again. She came to the door, opened it, and Su Yan directly rushed in from the corridor outside, shaking one hand with a scent, "Why are you so slow? It's really like the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is."

  Su Yan was holding a breakfast takeout in her hand and asked, "Haven't had breakfast yet?"

  Yang Fu Xiao nodded: "Mm, not yet, but I'm not hungry."

  Su Yan directly put the takeout on Yang Xiao's desk, "Hurry up and eat, makeup and dressing will be a hassle for a while, by then you'll be in trouble with your son."

  Yang Mu Xiao was having her meal while Su Yan and a makeup team she brought along were making preparations on the side.

  She wasn't used to letting people wait, and wolfed down the food in a gust. Nor did she taste what flavor it was, until Su Yan told her which family's old brand the jade steamed buns were from, only then did she realize that the taste was actually quite good.

  Su Yan listened to this explanation and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

  She sat Yang Muxiao in front of the dressing table, looking at Yang Muxiao in the mirror and asked: "Are you nervous?"

  Yang Furong shook her head: "Don't be nervous... it's just that my mind is a complete blank."

  This is true, she looked at the mirror in front of her and felt that there was no accurate image of either Shen Jia Yu, whom she wanted to marry today, or Gu Qing Cheng in her mind, and even their facial outlines had been forgotten.

  There is a vague shadow in her mind, which makes her feel that something is not quite right, and she feels that it is elusive, but it is hard to grasp.

  "Alright, now you can just relax and be the bride, don't think too much," Su Yan scattered Yang Duxiao's hair and started braiding it from behind, "As for Meng Xi, I've arranged for someone to do her makeup, she'll go directly to the church afterwards. Once you're done here, there will be a wedding car to pick you up and take you straight to the church, Shen Jia Yu is waiting for you at the church."

  "Good."

  Doing styling is really a very tiring thing, Yang Fu Xiao felt drowsy in front of the makeup table, it was all Su Yan behind her who was fiddling with her hair, smearing and wiping on her face, and also applying beautiful loose powder on her exposed neck and collarbone.

  "Alright."

  Su Yan threw the small brush into the makeup box. In front of Yang Shuoxiao's tightly closed eyes, she clapped her hands twice, "Open your eyes."

  Yang Fuxiao opened her eyes and Su Yan was blocking in front of the dressing table.

  Su Yan sidled up and made a sliding motion to leave, stretching out her hands in front of the makeup mirror: "Bling-bling, the moment to witness miracles has arrived."

  Yang Mu Xiao stared at the person in the mirror, and for a moment, she almost didn't recognize that it was herself.

  Her eyebrows were lightly painted, her lips were full and peach-colored, the rouge and powder were applied just right, a small plum blossom was drawn on her forehead with a gold pen, her hair was styled in a way that was between a girl's and a mature woman's, some small braids were woven at the back of her head, hanging down.

  "In the church, it's one hairstyle. When we arrive at the hotel to entertain guests, we need to change into another hairstyle and wedding dress, so first scatter them, then go there and pin them up or use a hairpin to clip them on one side."

  She paused for a moment, "Still satisfied?"

  Yang Mu Xiao smiled and said: "I'm very satisfied."

  Su Yan patted Yang Fu Xiao's shoulder, "You're satisfied or not, wait until the time comes, in the church, lift the veil and look at Shen Jia Yu's reaction, then you'll know if you're satisfied or not."

  Fortunately, Shen Jia-yu had made several wedding dresses earlier. Now Yang Fu-xiao's belly has a slight bulge, and the waist size of a corset-style dress is no longer suitable, but another one that was two centimeters wide at the time can be worn perfectly now. There are also two high-waisted puffy wedding dresses that can still be worn.

  Yang Mo Xiao put on a white trailing wedding dress, Su Yan helped him wear a veil.

  "Really beautiful, if I were a man, I would have fallen in love with you."

  Yang Mu Xiao heard Su Yan say this half-jokingly and said: "Tina jie, if you were a man I would marry you."

  "You little girl, you're really not afraid of me tearing your mouth apart."

  Su Yan would have pinched her face hard if she wasn't afraid of ruining her makeup.

  Yang Mo smiled with satisfaction and made a face at Su Yan.

  Su Yan didn't mind either, she knew that Yang Fu Xiao was very tense at the moment, and this relaxation was just a deliberate act.

  But this tension shouldn't come from who the other person is, just because it's the first wedding.

  That's all.

  After finishing hair and makeup, I sat in the hotel suite for five minutes before the wedding car arrived downstairs.

  It was Shen Jun, dressed in a deep black suit, who came to pick up Yang Mianxiao in the wedding car. "Miss Yang, please."

  ………………

  Because yesterday was the eve of the wedding, Yang Fuxiao wasn't staying at the Shen's house, so Sheng Weiwei also returned to Zijing Garden.

  Old Lady Gu has already returned home, leaving only Gu Qingliang behind. Although it's hard for Sheng Weiwei to bear, fortunately, Gu Qingcheng is still a bit more important.

  Weiwei tried her best to persuade Gu Qingcheng until the last second, but Gu Qingcheng had been staying in his study all night. If she didn't know that Gu Qingcheng had a heart of stone, she would have suspected that he was hanging himself in the study.

  "Gu Qingcheng! The time is almost up! You're not going to attend the wedding today, are you?"

  "Of course he'll go, isn't asking that an insult to Gu Qingcheng's intelligence? He even attended Qin Shuang's engagement banquet."

  Sheng Weiwei turned her head and stared at Gu Qingliang: "You don't understand anything."

  "You... " Gu Qingliang was taken aback for a moment, "You're really the young mistress of the Sheng family? If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would have thought you were no different from those little socialites."

  "Heh," Sheng said with a faint cold smile, "haven't you heard? What you see in your eyes is what you say with your mouth. I see that you're an idiot, and what comes out of your mouth is also idiocy."

  Gu Qingliang twitched at the corner of his mouth.

  What a divine logic.

  Sheng Weiwei had already stopped paying attention to Gu Qingliang behind her, and it was better to spend more time on Gu Qingcheng than to waste words with Gu Qingliang.

  She knocked on the door again with a "thud thud thud", "Gu Qingcheng! Time is almost up! Are you really not going to attend the wedding?"

  Inside, it was still quiet.

  Gu Qingliang snorted and laughed, then turned around and went into the room to change her clothes.

  Although she wasn't interested in the wedding, because of Gu Qingcheng's relationship, as his sister, she still had to go; however, Gu Qingcheng always treated her like a dispensable little sister.

  Sheng Weiwei leaned against the tightly closed study door, at a loss for what to do next. She wondered whether she should call Tiana or Lu Li first to ask about her next move. Just as she took out her phone and flipped through her contacts, ready to make a call, an incoming call came in.

  Sheng Weiwei stared at the name displayed on her phone screen, dazed for a full ten seconds, and suddenly her heart fluttered up.

  She took two deep breaths before answering the phone, "Attorney Shen."

  Shen Zhenliang's voice came through the receiver, "Are you attending the Shen family wedding today?"

  "I want it."

  "Want to come along?" Shen Zhenliang said, "I'm driving by Zi Jing Garden anyway."

  She almost bit her tongue in her eagerness to respond, but a girl has to be poised and consider for a few seconds before answering.

  Just then, before she could finish her "thoughts", Shen Zhenliang said on the other end of the phone: "By the way, you can also follow Gu Qingcheng's car, he is going to attend..."

  "As soon as Sheng Weiwei heard this, she anxiously and hastily said: 'I won't follow him, I'll follow you!'"

  Then she was stunned herself.

  The calm and composed lady image I had worked so hard to create was ruined just like that.

  Sheng Weiwei silently knocked her own head on the other end of the phone, blaming herself in her heart: I told you to think before speaking! I told you not to be rash!

  "Shen Zhenliang chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, 'I'm downstairs.'"

  However, Sheng Weiwei couldn't leave yet because she hadn't woken up Gu Qingcheng in the study room. She wouldn't be so unscrupulous as to leave Gu Qingcheng alone here and then attend his ex-girlfriend's wedding.

  He must be dragged along to attend his ex-girlfriend's wedding.

  The spare keys in the Zi Jing Garden are also kept by Gu Qing Cheng, Auntie Li has taken a few days off to return to her hometown, and Sheng Weiwei is really helpless, so she let Lawyer Shen come up.

  Shen Zhenliang wore a grey casual coat today, not as formal as the one he wore in the law firm, but it made Sheng Weiwei feel inexplicably good when she saw him.

  "Has Mr. Gu not gotten up yet?"

  She nodded slightly and then shook her head: "He locked himself in the study since yesterday afternoon, I thought he would go to sleep on his own at midnight, but when I woke up this morning, his bedroom was empty, and the door of the study was locked from inside."

  Shen Zhenliang slightly furrowed his brow, "Where is the study?"

  Sheng Wei quickly hastened his pace and walked two steps ahead to lead the way.

  "Right here."

  Sheng Weiwei stopped in front of the study and knocked on the door twice, "Gu Qingcheng, Attorney Shen is here!"

  Not to mention Attorney Shen, even if Yang Fu Xiao himself came, this door may not necessarily be opened.

  Shen Chenliang felt a bit strange, so he took out his phone and called Gu Qingcheng. Through the door panel, there was no ringtone coming from the study room, if possible, it was either turned off or on silent mode.

  But there is another possibility.

  Sheng Weiwei and Shen Zhenliang exchanged a glance, seeing in his eyes a possibility that was different from the lawyer's meticulous thinking.

  "Really?"

  Gu Qingcheng wouldn't possibly be suicidal, would he? I mean, using Gu Qingliang's words from just now, Qin Shuang even attended his engagement ceremony.

  Shen Chenliang directly turned sideways and violently collided with the door of the study room twice, but the door didn't budge.

  He slightly raised his foot and took a step back, then lifted his leg and kicked it up fiercely, with a loud "thud".

  My little heart is beating rapidly: Lawyer Shen is so handsome! I like him! He's both literary and martial, a pillar of the state!

  The door finally kicked open and bounced back with a loud crash against the wall inside.

  Shen Zhenliang opened the door and rushed in, but except for the open window, a slightly cold north wind was blowing through the air in the room, there was no one.

  The only remaining warmth in the room had been taken over by the cold wind, Shen Zhenliang took a look at the thermometer on the wall and calculated in his heart that Gu Qingcheng had opened the window for more than two hours.

  There is a faint sound of water in the bathroom.

  Sheng Weiwei rushed directly to the bathroom, and didn't care about the difference between men and women anymore. She directly opened the sliding door, inside the faucet was on, water flowing gurgling, but there was no one.

  She turned around and saw the same message in Shen Zhenliang's eyes.

  Isn't this a case of dying together?

  The wind blowing in from the window was very cold, Sheng Wei walked to the window and looked out, there was no one below, but on this side of the window, a black rope was tied, hanging all the way down to the ground.

  "Attorney Shen!"

  Shen Zhenliang was at the desk in Gu Qingcheng's study, glancing at a document spread out on the table and the computer that hadn't been shut down. Hearing Sheng Weiwei call him, he walked over to the window.

  Sheng Weiwei pulled up the rope that was tightly tied to the window railing and showed it to Shen Zhenliang: "Look."

  Very heavy and sturdy, it's a military rope.

  Shen Zhenliang looked down from the window and saw that the rope was hanging all the way to the ground.

  Sheng Weiwei said: "Gu Qingcheng used to be in the army and had been on a mission in the jungles of Southeast Asia, so it's not that difficult for him to climb down from here."

  It can be determined at least now that Gu Qingcheng is fine, and Sheng Weiwei let out a sigh of relief.

  Shen Chenliang nodded slightly.

  But there was one thing he didn't understand: why did Gu Qingcheng choose to climb out of the window instead of walking through the front door?

  Sheng Weiwei closed the window and turned around, taking a look at the arrangement of the study, which hadn't changed much. It was still the same as before, only...

  The tea table against the wall seemed to have moved, and Sheng Wei didn't pay much attention to it at first. As a result, when he walked over, he almost bumped into it and knocked his knee, immediately crying out in pain.

  Shen Zhenliang reached out from behind to support Sheng Weiwei's waist, Sheng Weiwei was startled and her cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly rubbed her knees a few times and waved her hand: "Nothing happened, I just bumped into something."

  Shen Zhenliang's gaze fell on a floor tile beside the tea table, where a slight vibration had revealed a narrow gap.

  Sheng Weiwei was also quite surprised, "Ah" and squatted down to lift up the floor tiles, revealing a hidden compartment inside, which contained only a velvet ring box.

  She took out the ring box and opened it, but it was empty.

  Sheng Weiwei turned her head slightly and glanced at Shen Zhenliang, whose eyes flickered slightly.

  Gu Qingliang made herself up in her own room and walked past the study door, poking her head inside to take a look: "Aren't you leaving yet?"

  Shen Zhenliang pulled up Sheng Weiwei who was squatting on the ground, "Let's go, first to the wedding scene, maybe Mr. Gu has already arrived."

  Maybe it is.

  ………………

  Yang Mo Xiao was wearing a down jacket over her wedding dress. She wasn't cold in the hotel, and she still wasn't cold when they got to the car.

  It wasn't until she got into the car with her skirt flying up that the cold wind blew, and a passerby who happened to be passing by even took out his phone to take pictures.

  Su Yan sat on one side and let Yang Fu Xiao lean against the back of the chair and sleep for a while to recharge.

  Yang Mu Xiao smiled: "Do you think I can still sleep now?"

  Su Yan shrugged her shoulders, "If you can't sleep, then just hold on."

  After a while, Yang Fuxiao's mobile phone came in with a call.

  Yang Fuxiao took a look and it was Shen Jiayou's phone call.

  "Hello."

  "I have arrived."

  Yang Mu Xiao glanced out of the car window and said: "The road is not congested now, I should arrive ten minutes early. Besides, Sister Tina is accompanying me here."

  Su Yan listened to Yang Fu Xiao and Shen Jia Yu talking on the phone, suddenly feeling like they were really a newlywed couple.

  Yang Fangxiao hung up the phone and looked at Su Yan, "What are you looking at me for?"

  Su Yan said, "Nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel that what you like may not be the most suitable for you, and what is most suitable for you may not end up together. This world has always had too many twists and turns."

  Yang Mo Xiao blinked her eyes, "Tina sister, aren't you also wanting to get married?"

  Su Yan's face sank intentionally, "How come I never noticed your mouth was so poisonous before? Isn't it because you've been with Gu Qingcheng for too long and have become tainted by his influence?"

  Yang's smile at the corner of his mouth stiffened for a moment, then hooked up again and smiled, looking out the car window.

  Su Yan is intentionally mentioning Gu Qingcheng.

  But there's no way around it, she can only help others up to this point, and saying more won't do any good.

  All the way, it was calm and peaceful, except when passing through an intersection, there were two cars colliding outside, making a heart-pounding sound. Yang Fuxiao turned around to take a look, and the two cars were smashed beyond recognition.

  Su Yan snorted twice, "I'd rather die."

  As they got closer to the church, Yang Fuxiao's heart suddenly started racing wildly, his mind buzzing a bit, and he grabbed Su Yan's hand directly: "Tina sister, I'm getting a little nervous."

  Su Yan rolled her eyes, "You weren't nervous just now, what's there to be nervous about now that we've already arrived."

  She was nervous, especially after just receiving a message from Sheng Weiwei that Gu Qingcheng had gone missing.

  What if Gu Qingcheng really didn't know what was wrong with him, and came over to grab the wedding in a big way? It's not impossible, given Gu Qingcheng's temperament, it's easy to do something reckless. However, since Gu Qingcheng returned to the Shen family, he has been enduring in silence. If this wedding becomes an opportunity for him to break through, it's not impossible, but the timing is clearly not yet ripe.

  Actually, Yang Fu Xiao didn't even know what he was nervous about, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his palms.

  The car stopped in front of the church gate, and Yang Fuxiao held Su Yan's hand a little cold.

  She got off the car, holding a bunch of pale pink roses in her hands.

  The veil falls down in front of her face, and with a gust of wind, it floats gently.

  Because Yang Mosheng didn't have any relatives from her mother's side, so from the church entrance, stepping on the red carpet, there was only her alone, and not like what's usually shown on TV, a tall and handsome man handing over his daughter to another man to accompany her for the rest of her life.

  In the end, Yang Wu's life was a bit bleak, but in the eyes of people in C City, it was mostly surprising and admirable, completing Cinderella's perfect transformation.

  Yang Mu Xiao stood at the entrance, closed his eyes deeply, then opened them again, and let out a long breath before stepping onto the red carpet.

  Yang brushed off the steps under her feet, she walked twenty-five steps, looking through the veil in front of her at Shen Jia-yu ahead, feeling a bit unreal.

  Shen Jia-yu stood at the end of the red carpet, stretched out his hand to hold Yang Fu-xiao's hand, and then hugged her into his arms.

  Sheng Weiwei and Shen Zhenliang arrived late, waiting until the priest in front had asked each other's vows before slipping in from the door and sitting directly in the back row.

  The subtle expression was more obvious, stretching his neck to look around the people in the church, all the Shen family members were sitting in the front two rows, but it was clear that there was no sign of Gu Qingcheng in the front two rows.

  Just as Sheng Weiwei was stretching her neck forward like an ostrich, Shen Zhenliang directly reached out and pressed down on her head, "First sit properly, wait until the ceremony is over."

  Sheng Weiwei blinked at Ya Jing, turned around and glanced at Shen Zhenliang, feeling the warmth of a finger temperature on the back of her head, smiled: "Oh, okay."

  Su Yan sitting in the front saw Sheng Weiwei arrive, and ran over from behind a row of chairs leaning against the wall, sitting next to Sheng Weiwei, "Hey, where's that Gu Qingcheng?"

  Sheng slightly shrugged his shoulders: "Didn't find it."

  Su Yan furrowed her brow, "It's a bit strange."

  Gu Qingcheng's phone is also unreachable, now going out results in changing the window.

  Sheng Weiwei suddenly called out in a low voice: "Over there!"

  Su Yan followed the direction of Sheng Wei's pointing finger and saw Gu Qingcheng behind a small door in front of the church.

  Gu Qingcheng's position just happened to be opposite Yang Fuxiao, so his gaze could only fall on the back of Yang Fuxiao, staring at her back.

  Sheng Weiwei slipped out from behind, "I'll turn around and look for him."

  Just then, before Sheng Wei could walk around the perimeter to the front door, Su Yan had already called her and told her that Gu Qingcheng was no longer there.

  Sheng Weiwei stood at the small gate where Gu Qingcheng was standing, and glanced at Yang Fuxiao who was wearing a wedding dress in front of him.

  At this moment, she really felt a pang of heartache for Gu Qingcheng.

  Although Gu Qingcheng herself did not admit it, she could still see that he had Yang Fu Xiao in his heart.

  Watching with his own eyes the woman he likes marry another man, his heart must have been turned upside down. But he also deserved to be tortured. As for Sheng Weiwei, this degree was not enough at all.

  Sheng Weiwei leaned against the door frame, and Yang Fuxiao, who was only about five meters away in front of her, seemed to have sensed something, turned around and looked over, smiling.

  Sheng Weiwei hugged her arms, and it was indeed a smile that could charm hundreds of people, but Gu Qingcheng didn't see it, and inexplicably felt a little sad, originally thinking that Yang Fuxiao would follow her home.

  She glanced down at the guest seats and her eyes fell directly on Shen Zhenliang in the last row, then waved her hand.

  Shen Zhenliang responded with a smile.

  The ceremony was brief and then it was off to the hotel for the banquet.

  Before going to the banquet, guests had already presented gifts to congratulate the newlyweds.

  Yang Fuxiao followed Su Yan to the back dressing room to change clothes, because it was really too cold. Shen Jia Yu considered Yang Fuxiao's body and let her go change clothes.

  However, after waiting for twenty minutes, Yang Fu Xiao and Su Yan still hadn't returned.

  Until the sound of high heels echoed in the corridor, Su Yan suddenly opened the door, panting slightly, and said: "Yang Xiao has disappeared."

  ………………

  Fortunately, the ceremony in the church has ended. The wedding banquet at the hotel must go on as usual, only the new couple's toast to each table will be cancelled.

  Outside the church, there are basically no surveillance cameras except for traffic monitoring on the roadside.

  Shen Jia-yu's panic was written all over his face as he followed Su Yan to the changing room, where they found her sweater and cotton pants scattered on one side, her phone left behind, but she herself was nowhere to be seen.

  Su Yan said: "Just now I went to the toilet, when I came back the door was open, and the person inside had disappeared."

  Shen Jia-yu took Yang Mu-xiao's mobile phone, slid the screen to unlock it, and opened it. He looked at the call log, and the last call was the one he made to Yang Mu-xiao in the wedding car half an hour ago.

  Shen Jia-yu immediately turned around and was about to rush out.

  Shen Zhou immediately let Shen Jun arrange to contact the police to search, calling out to Shen Jia-yu who was about to rush out: "There's no bride at the hotel, do you still think there's no groom?"

  Shen Jia-yu, who had already reached the entrance, stopped in his tracks.

  Shen Zhou said: "If you don't want to continue this marriage, then go out and find a needle in the ocean now."

  A moment later, Shen Jia-yu turned around and nodded: "I know what to do."

  Shen Jiayue looked around and suddenly sneered, "Where's Gu Qingcheng?"

  Actually, Gu Qingcheng was not involved in this matter and the Shen family knew it, but they let Shen Jiajia speak out.

  Shen Zhou glanced at Shen Jiajia and said, "Shut your mouth."

  Shen Jiajia didn't mind, smiled and thought that Shen Zhou had always been indifferent to her as a daughter, so she didn't take his words seriously. Occasionally, they would argue for a few sentences when he said too much.

  She's deliberately bringing up Gu Qingcheng now, and isn't Yang Fuxiao's disappearance solely because of him?

  It's probably ninety percent likely that Gu Qingcheng did it.

  Yu Mingxu was supported by Lin's mother on one side and asked: "Yes, this is also my question. Did Gu Qingcheng not come to attend the wedding?"

  "He just arrived, I saw him." Shen Jia-yu said.

  It wasn't just Shen Jiaoyu, when Gu Qingcheng appeared at the small gate in front, almost all the guests behind saw Gu Qingcheng appear.

  Then, Shen Guan's family received a call from the hotel manager, hung up the phone, turned to Shen Zhou and said respectfully: "The second young master has arrived at the wedding scene."

  This sentence immediately triggered waves upon waves.

  "He arrived ten minutes ago."

  Originally, everyone thought Yang Wu Xiao's disappearance was caused by Gu Qing Cheng, but Gu Qing Cheng had already arrived at the hotel scene!

  Lü Li brushed past Su Yan's back as he left, his left hand suddenly tugging on hers, his pinky finger tracing a line in the palm of her hand.

  Su Yan was startled for a moment.

  She had been deliberately avoiding Lu Li all along, and fortunately, Gu Qingcheng didn't appear, so she didn't have to consider his feelings.

  But now Lu Li's upright and righteous action shocked Su Yan in her heart.

  When Lu Li walked out of the church, Su Yan finally felt the delicate touch that was evident in the moment when Lu Li's fingers had just brushed against her palm.

  If she didn't feel wrong, Lu Li wrote a number.

  ………………

  The wedding banquet has begun inside the Asia Hotel.

  The Shen family cancelled the toast ceremony due to the bride's physical discomfort, and then she was not seen again throughout the wedding banquet, only the groom occasionally came back and forth.

  However, there were not many guests invited, just a few people within a small circle.

  The man standing in the rest room behind him opened his mouth for the third time: "I'll say it again, I don't know."

  Gu Qingcheng's eyes had a hint of dark light in them, and his black windbreaker was neatly pressed, outlining his tall figure.

  Shen Zhou's eyes were cold and stern as he looked at Gu Qingcheng, "Alright, get out."

  Someone at the wedding scene said that Gu Qingcheng had been there since the beginning of the wedding, and Yang Mianxiao was still in the church at that time.

  It's obvious that Gu Qingcheng can't have a split-body technique. From the hotel to the church, it would take at least an hour back and forth, which doesn't match up in terms of time.

  But what if I wasn't one person from the start?

  Xu Yiqian simply ate something and then went to the back to find Shen Jiayou.

  In the corridor, Shen Jia-yu was leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette.

  Xu Yiqian walked closer, leaning against the wall and asked: "Was Gu Qingcheng taken away?"

  "He said he didn't."

  Xu Yiqian sneered: "Do you believe what Gu Qingcheng said?"

  Shen Jia-yu remained silent.

  "Do you still want to look for it?"

  Shen Jia-yu pinched out the cigarette butt and casually threw it into a nearby trash can, then stood up straight and said, "Find."

  ………………

  Due to Shen Zhou's identity and status, the police have been deployed, but based on the news blockade, there was no large-scale search. At the wedding scene, the bride disappeared, which is a scandal for the Shen family and must not be made public.

  Su Yan didn't understand the number "2" that Lu Li wrote on her palm, but Gu Qingcheng looked as usual, even if Sheng Weiwei stuck to him like a piece of sticky candy, trying to pry something out of his mouth, it was all in vain, just like before.

  Su Yan asked: "You really didn't move Yang Du Xiaoxiao?"

  "No."

  "So you..."

  Gu Qingcheng's cool gaze swept over, interrupting Su Yan's words: "I've already answered this question to the point of nausea today."

  Su Yan paused for a moment.

  It's really annoying, if she had already gone crazy, I would have asked more than twenty times from Sheng Weiwei's mouth, more frequently than Su Yan asked.

  However, Sheng Weiwei followed Gu Qingcheng back to Zijing Garden on the wedding day, and Gu Qingcheng did not take a detour on the way. As soon as they returned to Zijing Garden, they entered the bedroom.

  Yang Mu Xiao has really gone missing this time?

  But there is one thing that can't help but be suspicious, previously when Yang Mu Xiao was kidnapped by Wan Kun at the economic and trade forum, he mobilized a large number of people to search for him, checked surveillance cameras for suspicious vehicles, and even almost got the person who was watching the surveillance video killed. However, now, apart from assigning a few people under his command to help the Shen family find her, he basically hasn't intervened at all and is completely uninvolved.

  Sheng Weiwei didn't understand and asked him for a reason. Gu Qingcheng smiled: "What identity do you think I should intervene with now?"

  "In..."

  This sentence asks Sheng Weiwei dumbfounded and speechless.

  Sheng Weiwei gave Gu Qingcheng a sideways glance, clearly sulking.

  She was snuggled up on the sofa downstairs watching TV, when she suddenly remembered the hidden compartment in Gu Qingcheng's study that day, and quietly went upstairs.

  Actually, Gu Qingcheng's study should have no secrets, otherwise there would be a password lock at the door.

  But after looking at this hidden compartment, it's still a hidden compartment, and it's still empty.

  Sheng Weiwei looked left and right but couldn't see anything.

  Alas.

  Sheng Weiwei sat behind the desk, casually flipping through Gu Qingcheng's things, they were all some daunting documents, so she simply threw them aside.

  She stared blankly at the dark silhouette in front of the black computer screen, propping up her chin and supporting her cheek, letting out a sigh.

  I really miss Yang Mu Xiao, I originally wanted her to live broadcast the first feeling of today's wedding, but she disappeared.

  Still thinking of Attorney Shen.

  It would be great if Attorney Shen could give him a call at this time.

  As expected, the phone she put aside started vibrating. When Sheng Weiwei saw Attorney Shen's name on the screen, her lips curled up in excitement.

  ………………

  In fact, Yang Wu was not kidnapped.

  She left by herself.

  Just as Dong Zhe handed her a ring box and a POS machine receipt.

  When she saw this diamond ring, her mind suddenly exploded. She thought back to the fact that this ring was found in a hidden compartment in Gu Qingcheng's study, and later it was discovered by Gu Qingcheng himself, who handed it over to her personally.

  And on this POS receipt, it clearly states that it is a purchase receipt for a ring, and the signature at the back is handwritten by Xu Muhuang.

  Yang Fengxiao closed her eyes tightly.

  That time, it was on the eve of Xu Muhuang's birthday. She accidentally bumped into Xu Muhuang at the checkout counter in the mall, and Yang Fuxiao was also certain that Xu Muhuang had seen her. However, after hearing her call out, he ran straight down the stairs: "Xu Muhuang!"

  The young lady at the cash register in the back also called out: "Sir, you need to sign over here, your card!"

  Yang Mu Xiao glanced down at the stairs and turned around to say: "I helped him sign it, he's my boyfriend."

  Then, Yang Fu Xiao hastily signed her name without even checking what she was paying for.

  This is also the only POS receipt in various shopping malls and restaurants, with the name "Xu Muhuang" signed on it, actually from Yang Fuxiao's hand.

  It turned out that at that time, Xu Muhuang bought a ring, and this ring is now in Gu Qingcheng's hand.

  Dong Zhe stood on one side, silent and motionless.

  Yang stroked the ring in her hand, her palm slightly sweaty on the thin receipt. She looked up and gazed calmly at Dong Zhe: "I'll go with you."

  Dong Zhe drove from behind the church, taking a detour through the countryside roads until he reached a fork in the road before getting back onto the highway, successfully avoiding the surveillance cameras.

  The destination is a small inn in the suburbs of C city, which does not require an ID to check-in. Dong Zhe had already investigated beforehand and found that there were no surveillance cameras, and the owner of the inn was very discreet.

  He gave Yang Xiao a room on the fifth floor and told her not to leave before leaving.

  Dong Zhe was as usual, very strict with his words, Yang Duxiao had already experienced this before, no matter what he asked, the answers were always very principled.

  Yang Mo Xiao still wore her wedding dress, only removing the veil, and a down jacket that was longer than knee-length basically wrapped around her entire body.

  However, in this suburban inn without heating or air conditioning, Yang Fuxiao had only been there for a while and was already feeling cold, her teeth chattering slightly. She walked over to the table, picked up an electric kettle, boiled some water, and poured it into a glass cup to warm her hands.

  The ring box and receipt were safely placed in the pocket of the down jacket, without a mobile phone, no way to tell the time, could only look at the sky outside to roughly estimate the time.

  Yang Fuxiao huddled in the bed, watching an entire afternoon pass by. The sky outside had completely darkened, and the lights from a distance away flickered on, then after a long while, went out again.

  She took the ring out of her pocket, gazed at this diamond-studded ring, pursed her thin lips, and tried it on her ring finger. The diamonds sparkled with dazzling light.

  After a while, Yang Fuxiao put the ring back into his pocket and curled up in the corner of the wall.

  In her mind, an idea was gradually taking shape, but at the same time, it also made her back feel cold.

  Yang Xiawu spent the whole afternoon without eating, and now he was both tired and hungry. He felt cold to the bone, as if his entire body had been placed in an ice cellar. After a while, he inexplicably felt hot, as if there was a burning fireball inside him.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, but amidst the daze, it seemed like there was a sound at the door. Yang Xiao wanted to open her eyes, but the intense light above made it impossible for her to do so.

  "Don't touch me..."

  A man came over wanting to pick her up, Yang Xiao directly stretched out both hands to push him away.

  "Don't be afraid, dawn is breaking."

  Yang Mo Xiao squinted his eyes and saw a silhouette passing through the light. He blinked, "Mu Heng?"

  "Uh-huh."

  The man carried the woman wearing a wedding dress onto the car, and the colorful lights flashing outside the window cast a messy shadow on her face.

  The vehicle drove quietly on the road until it reached a villa, where the man stopped the car and carried Yang Duoxiao horizontally into the villa, passing by the sparkling swimming pool and a small garden.

  When there was a pair of hands on her body that took off the down jacket and wedding dress, removed the makeup from her face, wiped her body with hot water, and then used an ice pack to physically lower her temperature.

  Yang Furong was no longer as calm as before and started struggling.

  Gentle and dense kisses fell on her forehead, face, and neck, with soft whispers: "Dawn, dawn..."

  Yang Mo gently opened her eyes, as if she had seen Xu Mochen.

  No longer struggling, his mind was a jumble of confusion, as if in a dream-like state.

  It must be a dream.

  Xu Muhuang would only appear in her dreams.

  In her dreams, there would be a Western-style villa, large tracts of golden sunflower murals, a fireplace burning with fierce flames, and such gentle care.

  ………………

  "Impossible?!"

  Su Yan listened to Lu Li's words and directly slapped the armrest of the sofa, her eyes filled with incredulity. "How is that possible? It's simply a fairy tale!"

  If it weren't for the number Lu Li wrote on her palm, she would never have called him proactively and asked to meet in such an ambiguous setting.
