Chapter 1211 - 1167: Wedding Escort (Part 2)
"To stay awake, I almost turned Lin Jie's butt into a pincushion.""After the surgery, Lin Jie's heart even stopped beating; he almost didn't wake up..."
An Kemeng cried out and grabbed An Kexin's arm tightly, asking nervously, "Sister, is this true?"
"How could I lie to you about something like this!"
An Kexin said with a bit of lingering fear, "During the earthquake at Bamboo Sea in Western Sichuan, even in such dangerous circumstances, Lin Jie didn't leave me behind."
"And when He Yimin was stabbed and critically injured, Lin Jie also drove crazily, disregarding his own safety, to get to the hospital."
An Kexin said with a face full of happiness, "Being with someone like Lin Jie makes one feel secure, because you know he's definitely someone you can rely on."
An Kemeng said with longing, "Sister, sister, so does that mean if I ever have an accident one day, Brother Jie would also come to save me without hesitation?"
"Peh! Peh!"
An Kexin pinched An Kemeng's mouth and criticized, "It's a happy day, don't talk nonsense."
An Kemeng shook her head to free herself from An Kexin's hand and smiled mischievously, "I also feel Brother Jie is very good, talented, handsome, rich, and has a great personality. He's also very nice to me."
"Sister, it's a good thing you're my real sister; otherwise, I would have already snatched Brother Jie away."
An Kexin gave her a side-eye and snorted lightly, "You, a little kid, have no competitiveness; at most, Lin Jie sees you as a younger sister."
"Who says I'm a little kid!"
An Kemeng got angry, sat up in the bathtub, puffed out her chest, gesturing provocatively, "Sister, look at this, I'm already as big as you..."
An Kexin snorted, unconvinced, "Only yours grow bigger?"
"Then let's compare..."
Zhai Siying, with her big belly, arrived at An Kexin's bedroom, hearing the laughter of the two sisters coming from the bathroom.
She gently knocked on the bathroom door and called out, "It's already ten past five, the hair and makeup artist has arrived, and the cameraman and photographer are here too."
"You two stop messing around, hurry up and get ready to come out..."
From five thirty to seven, the hair and makeup artist styled An Kexin's hair and makeup.
Meanwhile, the cameraman and photographer shot the interior and An Kexin's preparation state.
At seven ten, all the bridesmaids arrived, changed outfits, took photos with An Kexin, hid the wedding shoes, and discussed the ceremony's door-blocking game plan.
From seven thirty onwards, friends and family of the An family began to arrive one after another...
At nine o'clock, Ling Mengjiao, who was in charge of external communications, came to the bedroom where An Kexin and the bridesmaids were, worriedly saying, "Kexin, the hospital says the surgery is still going on."
"Lin Jie also sent word from the operating room that it'll probably take another half hour to finish the surgery."
Upon hearing this, Du Feixue and the bridesmaids accompanying An Kexin fell silent for a moment.
It takes at least two and a half hours to get here from Anlin Hospital, and from here to Qushui Garden takes about forty minutes, assuming there's no major traffic.
By calculating this way, they can't make it for the auspicious time at 12:08 in the afternoon.
An Kexin stood on the bed, chuckling, "This is an unexpected special situation where Lin Jie needs to save people in the operating room, so we shouldn't stick to the original wedding procedure."
"In that case..."
She decided, "Let's not wait for someone to pick us up; let's just meet Lin Jie at Qushui Garden, so we shouldn't miss the wedding ceremony's auspicious time."
It's the only solution, and the bridesmaids began to act.
An Kemeng started contacting Lin Miao, Ling Mengjiao started contacting Anlin Hospital, and Zou Manqing and Tang You began notifying the friends and family gathered at the An house.
Du Feixue stayed behind with An Kexin, comforting her, "Kexin, don't be upset."
"The important thing is you and Lin Jie are together; the process doesn't matter, only the result does."
An Kexin smiled slightly, saying, "I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm proud of Lin Jie, as he's such a responsible guy."
"He treats even regular patients like this, and towards us, he's someone who makes people feel endlessly at ease..."
At this moment, An Kemeng suddenly waved her phone and exclaimed, "Sister, sister, Miaomiao said Brother Jie explained he couldn't return in time, and Miaomiao will come in his place to welcome the bride."
"Miaomiao also said the groom's convoy has long since set off and will arrive soon; the wedding ceremony will proceed as usual."
An Kexin couldn't help but laugh, "This is a fairly acceptable substitute plan."
She waved her hand energetically, saying, "Kemeng, go notify everyone, everything proceeds as usual!"
Du Feixue also laughed, "I've heard that in some places, if the groom can't make it back for some reason, they use a rooster as a stand-in for the groom at the wedding ceremony."
"Now, having a sister stand in for her brother to welcome the bride is also very nice."
After a flurry of activity, the An family returned to the previous arrangements, waiting in an orderly fashion for the groom's convoy to arrive.
Only the convoy, which should have arrived within twenty minutes, was nowhere to be seen even after half an hour had passed.
Another twenty minutes went by, and An Kexin finally began to worry, urging, "Kemeng, quickly ask what's going on with this convoy?"
"Why haven't they arrived yet!"
An Kemeng, looking helpless, said, "Sister, they said there was a traffic accident with a major jam, and the convoy is stuck."
"They're trying to figure out a way..."
An Kexin glanced at the time, seeing it was only five minutes to ten, she stood up again and said, "No more waiting, give me my shoes, we'll head straight to Qushui Garden..."
