The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: An Uninvited Guest

Just as the wedding reached its climax, with the groom ready to kiss the bride, an uninvited guest made an untimely appearance.

“So lively! Why didn’t anyone send me an invitation?” boomed a loud male voice.

Jian Dan frowned deeply upon seeing the newcomer.

Chu Liyuan, on the contrary, had little reaction, remaining emotionless even as he watched Mr. Lee approach with his entourage.

When Molly saw Mr. Lee, she instinctively stepped in front of Meng Ran, her gaze fixed determinedly on the approaching figure.

After noticing Molly’s reaction, Meng Ran’s lips curled into a smile; he gently took her hand in his. As Molly looked at the hand Meng Ran had taken, she raised her eyes to meet his. Meng Ran assured her with a firm expression, “You’re now my legally certified wife, no one can take you away from me!”

The corners of Molly’s mouth lifted into a beautiful curve, placing her other hand atop Meng Ran’s, she nodded tearfully.

Mr. Lee’s target was clear; as he entered, he walked straight towards Molly and Meng Ran. Just as he drew closer, Li Jing stepped directly in front of Mr. Lee, blocking his path.

Mr. Lee’s eyes flashed coldly at the sight of Li Jing, whom he considered an insignificant upstart daring to block his way.

Just as Mr. Lee was about to lose his temper, Chu Liyuan spoke first, “It’s our honor that you could come, Mr. Lee! But knowing how occupied you’ve been lately, we were worried about troubling you, which is why we didn’t bother you!”

Though the words seemed ordinary, to those in the know, they carried a different implication.

“It’s my granddaughter’s wedding; of course, I had to come. And no matter how busy I am, I’m surely not as busy as you, young Chu!”

“The Qin Corporation doesn’t require my personal attention for most matters now, so I’m quite at leisure. But you, Mr. Lee, having just made a comeback, must surely have many issues demanding your personal attention.”

Each of Chu Liyuan’s responses hit Mr. Lee hard, but he naturally had to maintain his composure, “Haha! Young Chu might not understand, but with my status in the circle, I only need to say the word to make a comeback.”

“Well then~ Since you’ve come, we naturally welcome you. Li Jing, please prepare a seat for Mr. Lee!”

“Yes!”

Jian Dan had been silent up until then, knowing that his uncle had his reasons for everything he did.

Li Jing led Mr. Lee to a seat next to Qiu Zimo, while the seat on the other side was Chu Liyuan’s.

Mr. Lee hadn’t even sat down before he was overwhelmed by Qiu Zimo’s commanding aura.

Mr. Lee forced himself to calm down; after all, he had once been a powerful figure and was no stranger to encountering all types of people.

After gathering his emotions, Mr. Lee finally went to his seat and took his place, “Young Master Mo, you also found the time to attend the wedding?” Mr. Lee spoke first.

However, after hearing Mr. Lee’s words, Qiu Zimo had no reaction, as if he hadn’t heard at all, leaving Mr. Lee in a very awkward position. But given Qiu Zimo’s status, Mr. Lee didn’t dare to confront him and could only silently swallow his pride.

Ever since the beginning, Molly’s eyes had never left Mr. Lee, fearing he might do something to harm Meng Ran. Seeing Mr. Lee eventually take his seat, and especially next to Master Mo, she knew arrangements must have been made, which allowed her tense heart to relax quite a bit.

With a glance from Jian Dan, the emcee immediately continued with the next part of the proceeding…
