Chapter 1626: No Dismantling Allowed

“Why are you dismantling this?”

The manager remained calm, “May I ask who you are? We are doing our regular job. If you have any questions, you can talk to me slowly.”

“Are you the person in charge?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Then how come you don’t recognize that I am today’s bride!”

The manager was at a loss for words. He found it unbelievable, as the Mo Family had informed him that the wedding was canceled. To be cautious, he also called the Qiao Family, as he had been liaising with them for some time. He needed to confirm with both parties to ensure there was no misunderstanding—not because he was overly diligent, but because all the items at the wedding venue were rare and expensive; dismantling them carelessly, he feared he couldn’t afford to compensate.

After getting a clear response from both sides, the manager dared to proceed.

Yet, he had just begun dismantling with his team when a woman claiming to be the bride emerged. What was going on here? Furthermore, where had anyone heard of a bride coming to the hotel herself instead of following the traditional process of staying at home waiting for the groom?

Thankfully, the manager was experienced and calmed down after the initial shock, “Are you Miss Qiao? Maybe you should ask your family first; indeed, it was your side that requested the dismantling, which is why I acted.”

“Stop dismantling, I’m telling you to stop!” Qiao Man shouted angrily, “This is my wedding; when I say stop, it means stop. Make it the way it was!”

Is this person crazy?

The manager called over two waiters temporarily and then stepped aside to call Mrs. Qiao.

Soon, Mother Qiao arrived. She hurried over and pulled the frenzied Qiao Man into her arms, “Manman, why did you come out? Why are you dressed like this?”

Qiao Man sobbed, “Mom, make them restore the venue, or Tingshen will be upset when he arrives later.”

Mother Qiao couldn’t help but notice the already dismantled stage. She sighed, “The wedding is off; Mo Tingshen won’t come. Come back with me. If you’re really feeling stifled, I’ll take you abroad for a trip, okay?”

Qiao Man quieted down instantly, gripping Mother Qiao’s hand tightly. With a blink, a tear fell, but her lips were pressed so tightly that each word seemed to be painfully pulled out.

“You want me to leave? You don’t support me marrying him either? Why?”

Mother Qiao felt heartbroken. She didn’t deny that when Mo Tingshen offered those terms last night, despite her staunch attitude, she was moved. But she only had one daughter and couldn’t bear her to suffer. However, there was nothing they could do; Mo Tingshen was not someone they could manipulate.

“Let it go, Manman. It’s already like this. Stop making trouble; he won’t change his mind.”

“He will!”

Qiao Man pushed her away, grabbed her wedding dress, and ran outside. When Mother Qiao chased after her, Qiao Man was pulling at the car’s driver’s seat, ready to get in. Afraid something might happen, she forcibly pulled Qiao Man into the back seat.

With determination, she yielded, “Wherever you’re going, I’ll go with you, but don’t go alone.”

“I want to go to his office; he must be there.”

Qiao Man was almost obsessive, not even considering whether Mo Tingshen would see her. She believed once she saw him, he would change his mind. Despite suffering such injustice, she refrained from calling him last night, fearing she couldn’t express herself clearly over the phone. Throughout these years, whenever Mo Tingshen was around, she always behaved well, hadn’t she?

He does like her!
