Chapter 978: Chapter 978: 976: Husband and Wife Bow to Each Other, Ultimately Severing Ties

And by her side, Su Hao and Su Yingxue both supported her down the route.

Su Hao’s hand, meanwhile, gently rested on her waist, bracing her, “Yan’er, after the wedding ceremony, I’ll take you to rest.”

Wu Jinyan barely managed a response, “Hmm.”

She forced herself to stay spirited for Su Hao’s sake. She had to complete the wedding and become husband and wife with him!

A commotion had just arisen outside, and Su Qingzhi inside the hall heard the noise. Yet, as the head of the family, he had to remain composed and thus did not show much surprise.

Watching Su Hao and Wu Jinyan approach him, and after catching Su Yingxue’s wink, he was reassured.

The master of ceremonies loudly proclaimed, “Now, the newlyweds pay respect to heaven and earth—”

Wu Jinyan and Su Hao turned around, bowed together, and paid their respects.

The crowd congratulated with sincere happiness, all but Lu Ying, whose eyes were dark, her lips curved in a smirk that reveled in another’s misfortune.

Su Yingxue watched her, feeling that she still had tricks up her sleeve. However, Zi Wei had not yet returned, and no anomalies had occurred for now.

“Now, pay respect to the parents!”

Su Hao and Wu Jinyan had already bowed to Su Qingzhi and were about to bow to each other as husband and wife.

The climax of the wedding arrived.

In the midst of this, Chu Yihan also arrived. He did not wish to interrupt Su Hao’s wedding ceremony, so he discreetly joined the crowd.

Mo Qi was by his side, “Look, master, the Princess is over there!”

“Yingxue.”

Chu Yihan murmured, his gaze had already fixed on Su Yingxue; she was clad in a red dress, festive and beautiful, yet her brows were slightly furrowed.

“Husband and wife bow to each other—”

At the final bow, both Su Hao and Wu Jinyan couldn’t contain their excitement. After this bow, they would truly be husband and wife.

They bent together, about to bow down…

“You can not bow!”

The aged voice of the newcomer was resonant and powerful, directly interrupting their motion.

Su Qingzhi quickly stood up, “Who says they can’t bow?”

“I say so!”

Su Qinghe stepped out from the crowd, clutching something in his hand.

He hurried to Su Qingzhi’s side, pointed at Wu Jinyan, and said, “Qingzhi, you can’t marry this girl as your granddaughter-in-law! She will bring disgrace to our family name!”

Wu Jinyan’s heart violently trembled at his words.

“Yan’er!”

Su Hao, knowing she was panicked, quickly took her hand.

“Su Hao, I…” Wu Jinyan was terribly frightened; she had felt uneasy ever since she’d entered, always anticipating that something was about to happen.

“Don’t panic, Yan’er, no one can stop me from marrying you!”

Su Hao supported Wu Jinyan, showing rare defiance to an elder. He looked coldly at Su Qinghe, “Elder, you once commanded respect for your virtue and reputation, which the younger generation should honour. However, you have come to disrupt the wedding and prevent the ceremony; I ask forgiveness, Elder, but I cannot tolerate this! Yingxue, please have the senior seated!”

He firmly intended to restrain the man.

Su Yingxue was just as aggressively thinking the same; they could not allow chaos in the presence of so many onlookers.

She stepped forward, ostensibly to help, but in reality, she seized control of Su Qinghe, gently whispering to him, “Grandpa Qing, you came to offer congratulations, please take a seat first. Afterward, you can join everyone at the feast!”

A numb sensation spread through Su Qinghe’s arm, prompting him to jerk his hand away from Su Yingxue’s grip; his face flushed red as he pointed at her and Su Hao, “You… why won’t the two of you let me speak! Could it be that you know something? Or are you in collusion?”

The expressions on both Su Yingxue and Su Hao’s faces immediately soured.
