Chapter 2205: I Want an Answer
Lin Tiance's face looked extremely ugly; he never expected Qiao Xue would cause such a scene.
Not only did he not expect it, but the Old Patriarch of Lin Family didn't expect it either.
In her eyes, Qiao Xue had always been very obedient and compliant. She couldn't have imagined that she would do such a thing during the vows.
At the moment, the Old Patriarch of Lin Family couldn't help but look towards Chu Yunxiu, her eyes full of authority.
Chu Yunxiu was terrified upon receiving that gaze from the Old Patriarch of Lin Family; she quickly shouted at Qiao Xue on the stage:
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing? If there's a problem, ask it in the bridal chamber! At that time, what can't you ask? Why must you ask now?"
"Hurry up, stop making trouble, quickly say 'I do,' hurry up to complete the wedding vows, exchange rings..."
The Old Patriarch of Lin Family also said, "Xiaoxue, you've always been obedient, and Grandma has always liked you..."
Her words meant to tell her not to cause any trouble and quickly vow, otherwise she would be angry.
However, the always obedient Qiao Xue, this time, was unwilling to compromise.
She continued to say loudly, "I must know this answer!"
"This answer is very important to me!"
Speaking here, she stared closely at Lin Tiance and asked aloud:
"Are you really Master Lin!?"
Boom!!
Once the question was asked, the whole venue was in an uproar. No one had expected Qiao Xue would ask such a question at this moment.
Many present assumed Qiao Xue wanted to finish asking a question before agreeing to vow because she wanted to ask if Lin Tiance loved her.
The young always seem to care about these things.
So they all thought the question Qiao Xue asked was whether Lin Tiance loved her. Who would have thought her question was essentially unrelated.
Instead, she asked if he was actually Master Lin?
Lin Tiance?
Master Lin?
What is this nonsense?
Many had a perplexed look on their faces.
Like Long Ban, who was very puzzled and couldn't help but say, "How is Lin Tiance connected to Master Lin? Though they both have the surname Lin, does Lin Tiance even measure up to Master Lin?"
Tang Qing also felt puzzled, couldn't help but say, "Why is this bride asking such a strange question?"
Qin Yitian glanced at Lin Dong, wanted to say something, but stopped at the tip of his tongue.
Li Zhaixing, who was originally enjoying snacks, said with a pout, "Are you kids stupid?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
"Clearly the bride likes Master Lin. Lin Tiance probably impersonated Master Lin and tricked her into marrying him!"
"Now, the bride doubts his identity, which is why she's asking if he's Master Lin to confirm it."
Ah!
When he said this, Tang Qing, Long Ban, and others finally snapped back to their senses.
"So that's how it is." Tang Qing said angrily, "If that's the case, then Lin Tiance is quite disgusting, isn't he?"
If it were anyone else, no matter how they felt, they wouldn't dare say it outright. After all, that's Lin Tiance—who dared to badmouth him? Who dared to say he's disgusting?
But she is Tang Qing! She's from the Hidden Clan Tang Sect and very outstanding herself; she wasn't afraid to offend Lin Tiance.
Long Ban couldn't help but say, "If that's true, then Lin Tiance is really a scum man."
"Far from just being a scum man, he's downright blockheaded. I used to overestimate him, never thought he'd stoop to this level with his identity."
"Actually impersonating someone else to fool a girl." Tang Qing spoke rather bluntly, and her temper was quite fiery. At this moment, she was already very angry.
She hated men who deceive others' feelings most. Especially the kind who play tricks to impersonate others; in her view, they are the lowest of blockheaded men.
The wedding venue was already somewhat chaotic, with discussions constantly arising.
"Lin Tiance impersonated Master Lin and tricked the bride?"
"What's going on here? Lin Tiance Young Master still needs to impersonate someone to pursue a girl?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"This must be fake, being able to marry Lin Tiance Young Master is like their ancestral graves emitting smoke!"
"Exactly, does Young Master Lin need to impersonate others to pursue a woman?"
"..."
Most were supporting Lin Tiance, but there were also some standing with Qiao Xue.
At this moment, they were speaking up for Qiao Xue.
"The bride looks very beautiful too, how is she not worthy of Lin Tiance?"
"Judging from the situation, it seems Lin Tiance impersonated Master Lin, deceiving the bride and her affections."
"You see Lin Tiance dare not even answer directly."
"..."
The wedding site was noisy, and on stage, Lin Tiance's face looked extremely ugly.
As for Qiao Xue, she had already gotten the answer from the crowd's discussions and reactions below the stage.
But she still wanted to hear it directly from Lin Tiance, to make her fully give up.
"I'm asking you, are you really Master Lin?" Qiao Xue asked once again, "When you pursued me before, you said you were Master Lin."
"That's why I accepted your proposal and came from Jianghai to the Capital City."
"But clearly, you've been deceiving me all along, you're not Master Lin."
"Why, why did you deceive me?"
At the moment, Qiao Xue's heart hurt!
It hurt extremely!
The person she loved was Master Lin, but she had been deceived by Lin Tiance into believing Lin Tiance was Master Lin.
Then who is the real Master Lin?
Who is he truly?
Comments continued to arise from below the stage.
"So it really is as such, Lin Tiance is indeed a blockheaded scum man!" Having confirmed the truth, Tang Qing couldn't help but scold.
Long Ban also spit and said, "Look at him wearing a suit, appearing decent, but he does such disgraceful things. I really regret coming to his wedding."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help looking at Lin Dong, with some sympathy saying, "Big Brother Dong, you've also been deceived by Lin Tiance's facade, being his groomsman."
Lin Dong's expression at this moment was very complicated; he also hadn't expected that Qiao Xue would ask such a question during the vows.
She actually cared so much about that answer in her heart?
She really loved 'Master Lin' that much?
"Lin Tiance, answer me!" Qiao Xue asked loudly again.
Lin Tiance didn't know how to answer; a yes would be clearly a blatant lie because the numerous discussions below the stage had already reached Qiao Xue's ears.
In fact, she already knew that Master Lin was not him.
A no?
Isn't that acknowledging his impersonation of Master Lin's identity, deceiving Qiao Xue's feelings?
Isn't that admitting if he didn't impersonate Master Lin's identity, he couldn't marry Qiao Xue?
"Enough! Xiaoxue, stop making a scene." The Old Patriarch of Lin Family suddenly stood up, stamped his cane on the ground.
A terrifying aura bore down on Qiao Xue.
Making Qiao Xue unable to speak a word.
Chu Yunxiu hastily said, "Old Patriarch, please calm down, Old Patriarch, please calm down."
Speaking of which, she quickly shouted towards Qiao Xue again, "Xiaoxue, quickly vow, stop causing trouble. Does it matter if he's Master Lin or not; isn't Tian Ce greater than Master Lin?"
The Old Patriarch of Lin Family also said, "Xiaoxue, quickly vow, I will consider that nothing happened just now."
"Be good, be obedient."
As she spoke of being obedient, her face bore authority without anger.
And the priest, seeing this, hurriedly asked again:
"Bride, do you accept the groom as your lawful husband, love him, support him, accompany him, and walk with him through every stage of life, creating a beautiful future together?"
But at this moment, Qiao Xue was incomparably determined and persistent.
She opened her mouth with great difficulty:
"I... do not!"
