The Heiress School Beauty and the Illegitimate School Bully: Chapter 31

After Song Qian was out of danger, Song’s father looked at Xiao Yi with a stern gaze and said, "Xiao Yi, we absolutely cannot swallow this insult. The Lin family must be made to pay." Xiao Yi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resolve. "Uncle, I will follow your lead. We will ensure they face the punishment they deserve."

They began to mobilize all their resources, starting with a comprehensive commercial assault on the Lin family’s businesses. Having navigated the business world for years, Song’s father possessed an extensive network. He united numerous partners to sever business ties with the Lin family, plunging their companies into dire straits. "The Lin family thought they could act with impunity. This time, I will show them that daring to touch my daughter is tantamount to destroying their own foundation," Song’s father said, his eyes revealing a ruthless determination.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was not idle. He handed the evidence he had collected regarding Xiao Chen bribing the servants to poison Song Qian over to the police, while also exposing Xiao Chen’s past illicit activities. The police moved quickly, and Xiao Chen was formally arrested.

In court, Xiao Chen attempted to struggle, arguing, "This is all a misunderstanding! I’ve been framed!" Xiao Yi took the witness stand, looking at him coldly. "Xiao Chen, you have committed countless evils. Even now, you try to deny it, but your crimes are manifest. Do not think you can escape the judgment of the law." Song’s father added from the side, "You and your selfish family thought you could succeed through power and conspiracy. It was nothing but a pipe dream."

In the end, Xiao Chen was sentenced to a heavy prison term for multiple charges. The Lin family’s companies declared bankruptcy due to various crises, and the rest of the family lost their former luxury, burdened instead by massive debts. With nowhere to turn for help, their past arrogance had long vanished, replaced only by destitution and despair.

Having weathered this storm, Xiao Yi and Song Qian’s bond grew even stronger. They stepped forward hand in hand toward a new life, casting the shadows of the past behind them.

The melodious tolling of church bells echoed through the air as white roses and delicate lace adorned the hall in a dreamlike display. Song Qian, arm in arm with her father, walked gracefully toward Xiao Yi, who waited before the altar. She wore a magnificent custom-made wedding gown, its train sweeping behind her like a brilliant galaxy, while diamonds sparkled in her veil, making her look like a princess stepping out of a fairy tale.

Xiao Yi, dressed in a sharp black tuxedo, gazed at her with deep affection and joy. His eyes remained locked on Song Qian, as if she were the only person left in the world.

The priest stood solemnly at the altar and began to recite the sacred vows. Xiao Yi spoke first, his voice filled with emotion: "Song Qian, from the moment I first saw you, my heart has beaten only for you. During those tumultuous days, it was you who gave me strength and warmth. I vow to protect you with my life and love you forever." Tears shimmered in Song Qian’s eyes as she replied, her voice soft yet firm: "Xiao Yi, we have endured so much, but those hardships never tore us apart; instead, they made me even more certain that you are the only one for me. I will accompany you through every dawn and dusk, through poverty or wealth, in sickness and in health." The moment the priest declared them husband and wife, the hall erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, while colorful confetti fluttered down like snowflakes.

As night fell, they entered their meticulously decorated bridal chamber. The room was filled with a subtle floral fragrance and an intimate atmosphere. The flickering candlelight bathed everything in a warm, romantic glow.
