An Ran heard that, grabbed Xiao Xiao’s hand, and ran outside according to the plan. The front gate was An Ran and Xiao Xiao’s responsibility, while the indoor checkpoint was Lin Ruonan and Lina’s. He Ziyu was with Mu Wanxin in the bridal room.
Seeing the front gate’s position was about to be lost, An Ran didn’t care about anything else and lifted her skirt, running downstairs with "thump thump thump" sounds.
Nanny Chen was preparing the tea for the newlyweds when she saw them rushing downstairs and hurriedly shouted, "Young Madam, Miss Xiao, slow down, don’t fall."
Even though An Ran and Mu Xingfeng’s engagent ceremony hadn’t been held, everyone in the Mu Family had already started calling her Young Madam.
"There’s no ti, Nanny Chen. Who’s at the front gate?" An Ran shouted as she ran outside.
"Housekeeper Hu is at the front gate," Because it’s a big day for the Mu Family, even the staff from Mu Xingfeng’s villa ca to the old residence to help.
An Ran quickly took out the walkie-talkie, "Housekeeper Hu, close the gate."
Along with a heavy grinding sound, the front gate of the old residence was tightly shut.
Seeing the gate closed, An Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ranran, what should we do? The gate is so tall, how do we shout over it?" Xiao Xiao looked at the three-ter-high solid wood gate in despair.
An Ran scrutinized Xiao Xiao up and down; her big eyes narrowed.
Xiao Xiao got goosebumps from her gaze. Anyone who knows An Ran well, like Xiao Xiao, would be certain that she’s about to co up with a mischievous idea when she shows that expression.
Sure enough, An Ran soon flashed a standard eight-toothed smile, "Xiao Xiao, I rember you know how to climb walls."
Xiao Xiao didn’t live in an apartnt building but in an old-fashioned courtyard.
When Xiao Xiao was little, Mom Xiao went to work and, for her safety, often locked her alone at ho. Unwilling to stay put, Xiao Xiao would climb over the wall to go out and return ho before Mom Xiao was back.
Even in high school, Xiao Xiao would climb walls to hang out with An Ran.
"Damn it, Ranran, that’s kind of sabotage between friends. I’m wearing a dress today, and you’re asking to climb over a wall on such an occasion?"
An Ran gave her a disdainful look, "Haven’t you climbed a wall wearing a dress before?"
She recalled once seeing Xiao Xiao climb a wall in a dress, warning her about the risk of exposure, but Xiao Xiao didn’t care and said she wore safety shorts underneath, so her mom wouldn’t worry about her flashing people while climbing.
Well, having a best friend who knows you inside out can indeed be terrifying.
Xiao Xiao looked helpless.
An Ran comforted her, "Don’t worry, there’s a ladder later, you won’t be exposed. The biggest red envelope will be yours."
Upon hearing there would be a red envelope and ladder, Xiao Xiao’s concerns evaporated, "Hurry, what are we waiting for? If we wait any longer, it’ll be too late."
Housekeeper Hu promptly instructed the servants to bring the ladder, and Xiao Xiao took off her high heels, climbing up barefoot.
"Xiao Xiao, what’s going on? Have they arrived?"
But Xiao Xiao seed stunned on the wall.
She saw the road to the Mu Family’s old residence was now blocked by military police, and the road was filled with a long line of wedding cars.
Leading the convoy was a low-key, luxurious Maybach, followed by endless white Audi A8s, with police cars clearing the way at the very front.
So much for keeping a low profile?
Haha, city folks sure know how to play.
"How’s it going? Xiao Xiao, have they arrived?" An Ran saw Xiao Xiao dazed on top and wished she could climb up to see herself.
Xiao Xiao finally cursed, "They’re here, they’re here. Ranran, is your wedding going to be this grand too?"
An Ran didn’t catch her last sentence, only hearing they were here, and quickly called Housekeeper Hu, "Go get all the Mu Family servants over. It’s ti to grab red envelopes!"
