Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 661 - 268: Inescapable Fate (Part 2)
"You crazy woman," Pello grabbed Chang Chi, wishing he could strangle her on the spot. Her very existence was the greatest mockery to him. He was adept at scheming and should have been wary of her. This femme fatale who lurked beside Shang Yin, with just a word, made it impossible for Shang Yin to turn things around.
"You... feel sad... heartache... Ziceng is about to... marry Yishao... It’s a pity... I can’t see it anymore..." Chang Chi did not struggle, resignedly closing her eyes, pitying that she could not see the scene of the man she loved most and Su Ziceng, whom she should hate most, hand in hand.
With a "bang", Pello’s strong grip threw Chang Chi aside, and she fell onto the sofa. The wedding dress specially ordered from Paris was knocked to the ground beside her.
There was no pristine and flawless dress, only a somber black gown resembling mourning attire. Chang Chi’s neck still bore clear strangulation marks, and she coughed violently, while Pello stood by, turning his face towards her with a chillingly cold voice: "I still need a companion to attend the wedding." He had already called off his engagement with Wen Maixue, but he was determined to attend Su Ziceng’s wedding. He thought Su Ziceng would also be glad if he brought her "sister" to the wedding.
Chang Chi stopped coughing, lifting her eyes to look at Pello, her limbs felt as if countless cold, deathly creatures had crawled over them, a feeling of dread. At this moment, Pello, not gnashing his teeth, looked stunningly handsome in the spacious living room and the faintly stirring dense night outside.
Waving the wings of an angel, yet wielding the scythe of Satan, Pello at this moment, had truly transformed into a demon. Chang Chi knew she had to run out, into the night, whether to find Su Qingzhang or Su Ziceng, she had to tell them that the wedding would not bring happiness, as it was already cursed by a demon.
Pello took away Chang Chi, and also the invitation Su Ziceng had sent. That woman hadn’t sent him an invitation. No matter, any wedding always has a few uninvited guests.
In that small apartment of Su Ziceng, warm light shined on the wedding dress. Her room was not as spacious as the room she originally had in the Su Mansion. The room, like the reborn Su Ziceng, utilized every inch very effectively. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The magnificent wedding dress had no place to be hung, so Su Ziceng laid it on the bed. The skirt that Pello had stepped on that day had been re-ironed, showing no traces of being trampled.
The sold "Yellow Love" was given to Su Ziceng as a wedding gift by Qiu Zhi.
The champagne-colored dress shoes and the hairstyle she was to wear tomorrow were all ready.
Everything was ready, which meant she had no way back.
The wedding dress was reprocessed by Sister Mu, not wanting Sister Mu’s effort to go to waste, Su Ziceng let the bed be occupied by the wedding dress, curled up beside the bed, looking at the folds of the skirt like waves of sea foam.
Tomorrow’s wedding will be held under the azure sky and sea. Hang Yishao had put a lot of thought into this wedding, continually asking for Su Ziceng’s opinions, something he had never done before, now Hang Yishao genuinely wanted to spend a lifetime with her.
"I don’t know if I have a lifetime to walk with you," Su Ziceng caressed the wedding dress. This year she was twenty-four years old, and if what Yuhua’s God Stick had said was true, she might end up harming Hang Yishao.
"But in that situation, I have no way back," though Sister Mu had dealt with it, Su Ziceng still found the spot where Pello had stepped on from the layered, wave-like folds of the wedding dress.
At tomorrow’s wedding, she must forsake the "Red Love" and wear the Wish Ring.
Su Ziceng remembered she had said that wishing on the Wish Ring is forbidden. Now, the promise made with the Wish Ring had come true, but she no longer felt happy about it.
"Ziceng, it’s getting late, you should rest early," after moving into this small apartment of Su Ziceng, Su Qingzhang became an ordinary father who apparently could not be more ordinary. He had difficulty walking but liked to wheel his chair around, daily urging Su Ziceng not to be overly busy with work.
Su Ziceng’s silence made Su Qingzhang feel odd. He opened the door and saw Su Ziceng curled up beside the bed, staring blankly at the wedding dress on the bed.
"Ziceng," Su Qingzhang’s wheelchair glided on the smooth floor towards Su Ziceng.
His hand touched Su Ziceng’s face, as if knowing everything, "If you want to change your mind, tell me, I will handle... everything outside, and with Yishao."
"No, Dad, it’s impossible now with him," Su Ziceng spoke, her voice tinged with bitterness. Su Qingzhang knew what was in her heart, Hang Yishao knew, everyone knew, but what could be done about it.
"I didn’t kill Ye Taina, back then..." Su Qingzhang wanted to reveal the truth, but he remembered Ye Taina’s dying wish. He had accepted "Mussen’s Blessing" and must forever keep that secret for the Mussen family.
"Dad, don’t worry, you should rest early, I’m fine." Su Ziceng pushed Su Qingzhang out, and in the room, the flawless wedding dress shone brilliantly under the light. (To be continued.
