Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 665 - 271: Trap (Part 2)

After settling Yu Hua’s God Stick, Su Ziceng walked back to the cabin. She put down the bouquet, changed out of the wedding dress, and put on her usual clothes. The moment she took off the wedding dress, she felt a sense of relief. Over the past six or seven years, she had not wasted her life. That love, forgotten in the chasm of memory, had transformed her from a mummified rich heiress into a flesh-and-blood person. She had loved and hated, living her life to the fullest without any regrets, it was time to walk away without any.

As she walked out of the cabin, the guests did not notice that the bride, the center of attention today, was now mingling in the crowd.

Sister Mu and Lin Ying were standing on one side of the deck, marveling at the distant scene of waves hitting the beach. Lin Ying’s hearty laughter and Sister Mu’s long hair fluttering in the sunlight. Su Qingzhang sat nearby, accompanied by Hang’s father and Hang Mu, the three elderly people getting along harmoniously. Seeing this, the last bit of sorrow in Su Ziceng’s heart also disappeared.

She wanted to leave the boat quietly, but thinking about Hang Yishao facing the awkward scene of the bride’s escape alone, she felt that she owed him an explanation.

How should she explain it, by revealing the matter of being reborn, which might make him think she was fabricating some inexplicable lie.

Or simply say that she doesn’t love him, she can’t join him in admiring the vast sea and sky, can’t embark on another successful marriage with him.

Hesitating, Su Ziceng still decided to tell a slightly modified version of the truth to Hang Yishao. That grown-up big boy should be able to accept the clumsy story that happened to her.

As soon as Chang Chi boarded the ship, she was abandoned by Pello. Her mood was anxious; when she saw Su Qingzhang’s surprised eyes, she just hurriedly nodded. The Pello who came with her was nowhere to be seen after boarding.

After asking Su Qingzhang, Chang Chi rushed towards the Bride’s Room. The most likely thing Pello would do is to abduct Su Ziceng. That man, with an utterly inscrutable mind, she couldn’t guess what his next move would be.

In the Bride’s Room, there was no one. The intact wedding dress and the missing bride, the normal scene in the cabin room instead made Chang Chi feel terrified.

She took out her phone and started making calls to both Su Ziceng and Hang Yishao. Su Ziceng’s phone ringtone rang out in the cabin; she hadn’t taken her phone with her.

"How could this happen?" Chang Chi was anxious, she must tell them that disaster was about to strike.

Su Ziceng walked back and forth on the vast catamaran; the wedding was about to start, but she couldn’t find where Hang Yishao’s Groom Room was. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The boat beneath her feet was much larger than Su Ziceng had imagined. The wedding banquet was held on the open deck, and Su Ziceng was already on the second floor by this time.

She didn’t know how Yishao had arranged it; the Bride’s Room was conveniently placed on the top deck, while the Groom Room was on the bottom deck.

If it weren’t for asking a waiter, she really couldn’t find this place. Su Ziceng thought about the directions the waiter had just told her while carefully watching her step since the waves had picked up and she hadn’t yet had the chance to change out of her bridal shoes, which were difficult to walk in.

However, the route that the very young waiter answered just now was indeed somewhat strange. Su Ziceng had asked for the "Groom Room," yet the waiter told her it was on the top floor, and after listening to his description, Su Ziceng knew he was referring to the "Bride’s Room" where she had been previously.

The waiter even confidently said, "Indeed, the groom, in order to conveniently host guests, specifically arranged the Groom Room on the top floor, and to prevent the bride from being disturbed too early, placed the bride’s makeup room on the bottom floor."

Previously, it was Hang Yishao who had taken them to that room; how could he possibly confuse the locations of the Bride’s Room and Groom Room? This waiter must be new, Su Ziceng thought, blaming him.

She pressed the button for the elevator going down to the bottom floor; as the elevator descended, it felt somewhat dim, moving away from the deck.

In fact, no matter which waiter Su Ziceng had asked today, whether male or female, young or experienced, their answers would be the same as what the waiter Su Ziceng encountered earlier had said.

Because this statement was instructed in advance by Hang Yishao. Apart from himself, only the people from Su Family and Hang Family knew that the resting rooms for the bride and groom had been swapped.

As for why it had been done this way, Hang Yishao had already seen the answer standing right before his eyes.

"Welcome, Earl of Wizi," Pello, after avoiding those familiar faces along the way, found a waiter and said he was the bride’s cousin and wanted to find the bride’s resting room. Then he got to the bottom floor, Pello was already prepared for everything, if Su Ziceng wouldn’t go with him, he must resort to extreme measures.

When he found this very secluded bridal resting room and pushed the door to enter, the room was pitch-dark. When the light came on, he didn’t see Su Ziceng, but rather a smirking Hang Yishao.

Something was off, Pello looked around, saw no other people; in the small room, there was only Hang Yishao.

"Surprised?" Hang Yishao saw the shock on Pello’s face, "Do you remember what I told you last time? If you dare to wrong Ziceng, I’ll pay you back with a bullet."

This bullet, he had been prepared for a long time, Hang Yishao took out a pistol from his chest, aiming it at Pello. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation ticket and monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
