Chapter 726: Neither Of Your Choices Includes Me

Translator: Lordbluefire

Shen Ruojing’s heart leaped suddenly.

...

She thought of all Rong Rong’s irrational behaviors at today’s wedding…

She thought of the unease she had felt for a minute when she was leaving the house…

She abruptly looked up at the stage.

Mr. Rong, holding Rong Rong’s hand, was walking toward Dr. Xu.

There was reluctance on Mr. Rong’s face.

But then on Rong Rong’s face, instead of the usual shyness and yearning of a bride, her eyes were deep like water, seemingly absorbing everything. They were shrouded in darkness.

She was staring at Dr. Xu.

Staring all the while…

Mr. Rong then brought Rong Rong to Dr. Xu, handed over his daughter to him, and then tearfully exited the stage.

The master of ceremonies asked, “Mr. Xu, do you take Miss Rong as your wife? Whether rich or poor, in health or in sickness, do you promise to protect and love her for life?”

Dr. Xu looked at Rong Rong, his face bearing a smile. “I do.”

His voice was firm, but his gaze at Rong Rong bore hope, longing, pity, and… reluctance?

Shen Ruojing stood up.

At this moment, the master of ceremonies was also asking Rong Rong, “Miss Rong, do you take Mr. Xu as your husband? Whether rich or poor, in health or in sickness, do you promise to be with him and love him for life?”

Rong Rong smiled slightly at Dr. Xu. “I do.”

“Great, you can now exchange wedding rings.”

As soon as these words came out, Rong Rong didn’t move.

Dr. Xu’s hand, however, reached into his pocket.

His action revealed the shape of the object in his pocket.

It should have been a ring box, but the shape that showed was…

Shen Ruojing’s pupils contracted slightly, and she shouted, “Sister Rong!”

Everyone at the scene couldn’t help but look at her, seemingly not understanding why Miss Shen was making a scene…

Rong Rong also looked over.

There was no joy in being a bride in her eyes, only a sense of relief and a hint of farewell…

Shen Ruojing became increasingly uneasy.

She wanted to rush onto the stage, but it was too late. What Dr. Xu took out from his pocket was not a ring but a completely incongruous handgun!

He raised the gun and fired a shot at the ceiling!

“Bang!”

The sharp sound of the gunshot terrified everyone at the wedding, causing total chaos!

The next moment, he pointed the gun directly at Rong Rong’s temple and barked, “Nobody moves!!”

“Ahhh!”

The audience had gone mad, so no one cared about what was happening on stage. The relatives were scrambling toward the exit, while the distinguished guests immediately called for security!

Even though Rong Rong was the daughter of the second branch, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen’s presence had brought the people from the main house of the Rong family today.

The head of the Rong family stood up at this moment, surrounded by several bodyguards. He looked directly at Dr. Xu and shouted, “Dr. Xu, what is the meaning of this?! Let Rong Rong go immediately!”

After all, she was still his niece. Even though her status wasn’t very dignified, the head of the Rong family would still lean toward her in critical moments.

Shen Ruojing also looked at Dr. Xu and directly jumped onto the stage. “Dr. Xu, don’t do anything rash!”

Dr. Xu, however, was holding Rong Rong hostage and retreating, shouting at her, “Stay away!”

Shen Ruojing raised her hands, trying hard to calm his emotions. “What on earth is going on? Dr. Xu, didn’t we agree on everything?”

“Agreed on what?” Dr. Xu gave a desolate smile. “My parents… they never got on the plane!”

This statement left Shen Ruojing completely shocked.

(How could it be…?)

She stared at Dr. Xu in astonishment, only to see grief on his face.

“Yes, you heard right. Song Chen reneged. My parents never got on the plane!” Shen Ruojing clenched her fists tightly, extending one hand as if to suppress Dr. Xu’s impulsive actions. “Don’t panic, I’ll contact Song Chen immediately…” “It’s useless!” Dr. Xu shouted, “I’ve been calling him all night. He won’t pick up…”

However, Shen Ruojing still took out her phone and dialed Song Chen’s number…

But a robotic female voice from the other side replied, “The number you are dialing has been switched off…”

Switched off…

Shen Ruojing’s fist tightened suddenly.

Dr. Xu just gave a bitter smile. “Do you see? They have gone back on their word. They sent me a message. Today, I only have two choices. Either leave here with what they want or kill Rong Rong, making you feel guilty and sorrowful! Otherwise, they will kill my parents!”

Dr. Xu’s eyes were red. There were blood streaks in the whites of his eyes.

Today, when everyone saw Dr. Xu, they teased him about whether he was so excited last night that he couldn’t sleep. At that time, he just smiled gently and didn’t say anything…

Shen Ruojing finally understood what had happened. She stared at Dr. Xu and said, “Calm down. This has nothing to do with Rong Rong. She is carrying your child!”

She wanted to say more, but Rong Rong’s desolate voice suddenly came over. “Two choices, Dr. Xu, neither of your choices includes me…”

Hearing these words, Dr. Xu faltered slightly..
