Capítulo 1114: Chapter 1115: I’ll Call You Back Later
“Shanshan…” She knew she must be feeling terrible right now, but she hadn’t seen her son since early this morning.
Seeing her pain, Xia Xing couldn’t help but have her eyes well up with tears.
Not far away, seeing her finally cry, Ruan Qiuting smiled smugly.
Her tears indicated that everything she had shown earlier was just a facade of strength in front of her, also implying that today’s engagent party concluded successfully.
If she was really that confident that Li Yuan wouldn’t attend the wedding, she would have no reason to cry, would she?
But seeing Xia Xing’s heartbroken expression, Ruan Qiuting couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her wine glass.
After today, she would be her daughter-in-law, yet Xia Xing’s heart and eyes were filled only with Huo Yishan. Even in a hall full of guests, she cared about Huo Yishan as if no one was watching, completely ignoring Grandma Li’s disapproval of Huo Yishan.
“Shanshan, how did you get here today?” She hadn’t told her the engagent party was today, let alone at the castle.
It couldn’t have been Yuanyuan who told her, could it?
“It was Ruan Qiuting.” Huo Yishan collected her shattered heart and muttered with her head down.
Xia Xing was startled, “Ruan Qiuting?”
“Yes, she sent an invitation.” She kept her head down, afraid to look at the glaring engagent scene.
Seeing her distress and heartbreak, Xia Xing paused for a few seconds, then took Huo Yishan’s hand again.
“Shanshan, don’t worry, auntie won’t let you be sad or upset.”
Huo Yishan looked up in confusion at Xia Xing, not understanding what she ant.
Xia Xing, with tears in her eyes, smiled, “You must believe auntie. Yuanyuan loves you, but in a family like this, there are many things he cannot control. Auntie knows that being with him, you’ve suffered a lot…”
Looking at her, Xia Xing paused for a few seconds, as if she had made so sort of decision, “This engagent party today, though grand, may not end perfectly.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yishan raised her eyes in surprise.
“Auntie, what do you know?”
She believed in Li Yuan, but even with that belief, seeing the joyous wedding scene and the glaring wedding poster, her heart couldn’t remain calm. Reality shattered her belief.
Xia Xing smiled, but her eyes, weathered by the years, carried a hint of bitterness.
“Auntie doesn’t know anything, just that until yesterday, Yuanyuan showed no interest in this engagent party. Even the wedding poster at the entrance was digitally edited.”
Huo Yishan was a bit surprised at this revelation.
The wedding photo was digitally created? It wasn’t taken by Li Yuan and Ruan Qiuting?
Then why was he missing early in the morning, and why hadn’t he called even once?
With that thought, Huo Yishan temporarily set aside her chaotic emotions and took out her phone to call Li Yuan.
She rembered he had once said he would never turn his phone off again, and he would always answer when she called.
“Ring… Ring…” On the third ring, the call was finally picked up.
But before she could speak, the deep, calm voice of a man ca through the receiver.
“Shanshan, I have sothing to deal with now. I’ll call you back later.”
“What are you dealing with?” Initially, when the call was answered, she felt a brief mont of relief.
