The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 449: Grand Wedding: The Grand Finale

Soon, the bride was carried downstairs in the groom’s arms.

Jiang Man had been searching everywhere for her father’s figure, but could not find him anywhere.

"Lu Xingzhou, are you sure you weren’t lying to me?"

In the wedding car, Jiang Man stared at the exceptionally handsome groom.

"I knew you were tricking me."

She suddenly felt utterly disappointed.

Her father must be disappointed in her, right?

He had raised her with so much hardship, yet when it came to the battle between him and the Lu Family, she resolutely chose to stand by Lu Xingzhou’s side.

It was really a case of having a husband and forgetting her father.

Lu Xingzhou didn’t offer much explanation, but held her hand tightly instead.

His eyes brimming deeply with love and focus.

"I’m not lying, I never did before and I won’t in the future."

...

After arriving on the "Manman" cruise ship, Jiang Man and JOJO went to the dressing room to change into their wedding gowns and makeup.

The wedding officially started at 11:30 AM.

The two brides arrived in the waiting area.

JOJO, full of confidence, lifted her head and puffed out her chest, striding toward her father.

With blonde hair and blue eyes, the father and daughter were definitely the most unique presence there.

Jiang Man wore her flowing sand wedding gown and saw the man standing in front of the golden double doors.

The man only showed her his back.

The moment she saw his back, her hand trembled with excitement; she could hardly believe her eyes.

"Ol’... old daddy? Is that really you?"

Li Jin slowly turned around; he wore a black tailcoat and a red bow tie around his neck.

The tailcoat had blue stripes that glimmered under the crystal chandelier now and then.

"I hope I’m not stealing the groom’s thunder today," he said with a smiling face, spreading his arms open.

Jiang Man’s nose tingled and she couldn’t help but run over, letting the long train of her wedding gown drag behind her.

The glitter of the flowing sand twinkled under the light.

She dived into her father’s embrace, and in that moment, cried like a little girl.

"Old daddy is the handsomest!"

She pressed her face against her father’s shoulder.

King gently patted her back, his eyes filled with indulgence, "Do you remember this coat I’m wearing?"

"Yes, I made it when I first learned fashion design, but you never wore it. I thought you didn’t like it."

"I liked it very much," King laughed heartily, "It’s just that I loved it so much I couldn’t bear to wear it; I always thought it should be saved for when my daughter gets married."

"Old daddy..." Jiang Man couldn’t help but choke up.

For some reason, she felt particularly emotional today.

It had been over a decade since she last cried, but at that moment, she couldn’t stop crying.

"To fit into this coat, old daddy fiercely lost 20 pounds. You must think your old daddy is still a fresh young man, designing it with broad shoulders and a narrow waist."

Jiang Man was moved to tears and laughter.

"Come now, it’s a joyful day, you should be happy." King gently pushed her away and used a handkerchief he carried to wipe her tears.

Beside them, Hu Yuexiang helped old Master Hu to walk over.

Her four uncles and other four brothers also came over together.

"We all would love to walk you down the aisle if we could."

"You won’t look good if you ruin your makeup, sister, you have to be beautiful today."

"Makeup artist, hurry and touch up the bride’s makeup, the wedding is about to start."

The makeup artist, already prepared, came over with a powder puff to touch up Jiang Man’s makeup.

They then quickly retouched her eyeliner and eyeshadow.

Just after her makeup was touched up, Uncle Zhong signaled to them that it was time to enter.

When the five-meter-high double doors opened, two dazzling beams of light shined their way.

Both fathers walked slowly into the hall with their daughters.

When King stepped into the spotlight, someone recognized him.

"This guy looks a lot like the boss of King Corporation!"

"The boss of King Corporation? Jin Lisite?"

"It’s not just similar, that’s clearly the same person, right?"

Someone took out their phone, found a photo of him with King.

"Wow! Jiang Man is King’s daughter?"

At that moment, the audience exploded. freewёbnoνel.com

No one had ever disclosed this information before, not even the Lu Family had ever mentioned it.

"People used to think that Jiang Man was not good enough for Lu Xingzhou, but now it seems that it was the Lu Family who was aiming high."

"Look over there."

Someone pointed to a table in the front row.

It was filled with big shots, including some in military uniforms, princes and princesses of royal families, the CEO of LV Group, and masters from the music industry...

Any one of them, taken out alone, was a call-and-they-will-come figure.

"Look carefully, it says ’friends of the bride, Jiang Man.’"

"Damn it! Did these big shots come to show face for King and support the young lady?"

"Not really, I heard, Jiang Man, oh no, I mean Miss Lisite, she has layered identities, she is a big shot among big shots, and all those big shots on that table, they all pay their respect to Miss Lisite."

"For a moment, I don’t know whether to say if it’s Lu Shao who’s lucky."

"A union of the strong, a strong man, and an even stronger woman."

"Indeed, indeed, it’s been quite an eye-opener!"

Amidst gasps and discussions from the crowd, the identity of Miss Jiang Man Lisite was fully exposed.

The nature of the wedding seemed to have changed instantly.

A century-old union of the two wealthiest magnates.

A major event that would change the business world!

"Groom Lu Xingzhou, do you take Lisite Man to be your wife? Do you vow to love her unreservedly, to be loyal to her forever, whether in good times or bad, in wealth or in poverty, in health or in sickness, in joy or in sorrow?"

"I do!"

"Bride Lisite Man, do you take Lu Xingzhou to be your husband? Do you vow to love him unreservedly, to be loyal to him forever, whether in good times or bad, in wealth or in poverty, in health or in sickness, in joy or in sorrow?"

"I do!",

With the vows of the newlyweds complete, the venue erupted in vigorous applause.

Amid the applause, the newlyweds exchanged wedding rings and shared a passionate kiss.

...

At this moment, the Manman had already set sail, slowly heading to the sea.

On the vast sea, where the horizon was endless, the golden sunlight cast a gilded glow.

As Jiang Man led Lu Xingzhou by the hand onto the deck for photos, sunlight shone upon them, and their attire revealed a secret.

On the right side of Jiang Man’s wedding dress and on the left side of Lu Xingzhou’s suit, half a heart appeared each.

As they stood together, they formed a complete heart.

"Come on, let’s take a photo!"

Lu Xuemei beckoned friends and family for photos.

Gradually many people arrived, some crouching in the front row, others spreading around the newlyweds.

Jiang Man’s flowing-sand wedding dress and Lu Xingzhou’s gleaming suit looked like two glowing bodies.

"Cheese—"

In the uniform chant of the crowd, a beautiful moment was captured.

Suddenly, several seagulls flew over the sea.

The laughter of the people, the booming sound of the cruise, the surging of the waves.

All the sounds melded together, forming an indescribable melody.

"Be happy!!!"

The crowd cheered and shouted towards the camera.

Ding ding ding—

Just then, a clear ringtone broke the wonderful atmosphere.

Jiang Man bent down and took out a mobile phone from inside her wedding dress.

"Hello, Dr. Li, a millennium-old site has been discovered in Egypt, and you are invited to join the archaeology..."

Click.

Jiang Man hung up the phone.

"Lu Xingzhou, it seems we might not make it for the honeymoon."

Watching Jiang Man pick up her wedding dress and run towards the cabin, the crowd was baffled.

"Where is the bride going?"

"Manman, how many more identities do you have?"

In the sea breeze, Lu Xingzhou’s voice drifted farther and farther.

He couldn’t help but smile and said, "Manman, wait for me, I’ll join you this time!"

He knew their story with Jiang Man was not over, it had just begun...
