Chapter 217: Ye Chen Ling’s death

Two months later, the sun shone brightly on Tang Xue Mei’s wedding day, casting a warm golden hue over the beautiful garden where the ceremony was set to take place. Delicate white flowers adorned the archway, and soft music floated through the air as guests mingled, their laughter echoing among the trees.

Xue Mei stood in her bridal suite, a vision in her elegant wedding dress. The fabric flowed beautifully around her, and a delicate veil framed her face. She felt a mixture of excitement and anxiety bubbling within her, knowing that today was not just a celebration of love but also a strategic move to draw out the villain who had haunted her family for far too long.

"Are you ready?" asked Auntie Gu, who had been with her through every step of the journey. Her voice was soothing, cutting through the tension in the room.

"Yes, I think so," Xue Mei replied, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She glanced toward the window, her mind drifting to the threats that lingered just beyond the edges of this joyous occasion. The knowledge that Ye Chen Ling, the woman who had caused them so much pain, had resurfaced made her heart race. Feng Shihan had told her that her mysterious backer was behind the scheme to ruin her wedding, but Feng Shihan had assured her that they were prepared.

As they made their way down the aisle, Tang Xue Mei felt her heart flutter at the sight of her father, Tang Zijun, sitting in a wheelchair near the front. Though he was still in rehab and working to regain the full strength in his legs, his presence provided a reassuring sense of stability. He smiled proudly, his eyes twinkling with emotion, and Xue Mei knew he would do everything in his power to protect her.

Feng Shihan stood at the altar, looking dashing in his tailored suit, his eyes locked onto Xue Mei with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. Their gazes met, and in that moment, all her worries seemed to fade away. They were together, and that was all that mattered.

The ceremony unfolded beautifully, with heartfelt vows exchanged and the promise of a future brightened by love and trust. Just as they reached the climax of their vows, a sudden commotion broke out among the guests. Whispers filled the air, and Xue Mei turned to see a figure emerging from the shadows—a tall woman with a dark expression, flanked by several men dressed in black.

"Ye Chen Ling!" Xue Mei gasped, her heart racing. The woman had a wild look in her eyes, a mixture of fury and determination.

"You think you can just steal everything from me?" Ye Chen Ling shouted, her voice slicing through the celebratory atmosphere. "You think you can have a happy ending after everything that happened?"

Feng Shihan stepped protectively in front of Xue Mei, his demeanor shifting to that of a fierce protector. "You won’t ruin this day for her, Ye Chen Ling," he declared, his voice steady and unwavering.

The atmosphere turned tense as the guests began to scatter, their expressions shifting from joy to fear. Tang Zijun’s face hardened, and he pushed his wheelchair forward, trying to get closer to his daughter. "Xue Mei, stay behind me!" he called out.

Xue Mei felt a surge of adrenaline as she faced her enemy. "You won’t get away with this!" she shouted, determination coursing through her veins. "You’ve tried to ruin my life for too long, and I won’t let you succeed!"

Ye Chen Ling’s lips curled into a wicked smile. "You really think you can stop me? You’re just a bride playing house," she taunted, raising a hand as if to signal her men to advance.

But Feng Shihan had already anticipated her move. He nodded to the security team positioned around the venue, who quickly moved to surround Ye Chen Ling and her associates, their expressions stern and ready for action.

In the chaos, the wedding guests were ushered away from the scene, but Xue Mei stood firm beside Feng Shihan. "This ends today, Ye Chen Ling. You will face the consequences of your actions," she declared, her voice unwavering.

As the confrontation escalated, the mysterious backer that Feng Shihan had uncovered—an influential figure hiding in the shadows—was also revealed to be present, watching from the sidelines. The plan was working. They had drawn Ye Chen Ling out, and now they would expose her to the light of justice.

The tension was palpable, and as the situation intensified, Xue Mei knew they were on the brink of a decisive confrontation that would determine not only her future but the safety of her family. With her heart racing, she prepared to stand her ground, determined to protect her loved ones and finally end the nightmare that had haunted them for far too long.

As chaos erupted in the wedding hall, Ye Chen Ling stood her ground, her gun aimed directly at Feng Shihan. Her expression twisted with rage, she fired a shot that struck the priest in the arm, sending shockwaves through the gathered guests.

"Shihan!" Tang Xue Mei cried out, panic flashing in her eyes as she turned to him.

Feng Shihan’s expression darkened. "You just signed your death warrant," he growled, his voice low and menacing.

Without hesitation, he drew his own weapon and aimed it at Ye Chen Ling. "You wanted to play? Let’s finish this."

"Do it! I’m not afraid of you! You’ve never loved me. So I’ll happily die in your arms" Ye Chen Ling taunted, but her bravado wavered as she realized the gravity of the situation.

With the speed of a striking serpent, Feng Shihan pulled the trigger. The shot rang out, echoing through the hall as Ye Chen Ling’s expression shifted from defiance to shock.

"No!" Tang Xue Mei gasped, but it was too late. Ye Chen Ling staggered back, a look of disbelief on her face as she fell to the ground, lifeless.

A stunned silence enveloped the room, the guests frozen in shock at the swift turn of events.

Feng Shihan stood over her, his face a mask of resolve. "You brought this on yourself. You will die but it will be on this cold hard floor," he said coldly, casting one last glance at Ye Chen Ling before turning to Tang Xue Mei.

"Is everyone alright?" Tang Xue Mei asked, rushing to the priest’s side, where he was being tended to by her father and others.

"Just a flesh wound," the priest said, gritting his teeth but smiling through the pain. "But I think the real drama has just unfolded."

Tang Xue Mei turned back to Feng Shihan, her heart pounding. "You did what you had to do, didn’t you?"

He nodded slowly, still watching the body of Ye Chen Ling. "I won’t let anyone hurt you. She’s been a thorn in the ass for a long time."

As the reality of what had just happened settled over the guests, the atmosphere shifted. While some looked horrified, others seemed relieved that the threat was gone.

"Let’s get everyone out of here and to the actually wedding venue," Feng Shihan said, turning his attention to the guests. "It’s time to ensure everyone’s safety."
