He didn’t want to make the atmosphere so sentintal on such a good day, otherwise, he’d seem too pretentious.
"Dad... you and Grandpa in Pingjiang, make sure to take good care of yourselves." Tang Wan always couldn’t help worrying.
"I know, you don’t need to worry."
"And..." Tang Wan cleared her throat, hesitated for a long ti before tentatively saying, "If you et the right person, please keep an open mind."
He used to be with Zhang Liyun, almost because of her.
Tang Yunxian nodded, "I know, focus on taking care of yourself and the baby, this child’s birth will keep you busy, don’t worry about other things."
"The baby is so well-behaved, it shouldn’t be too troubleso." Tang Wan laughed.
The two packed several breakfasts to take back, and when they arrived at the hotel, several elders were already up, even Ruan ngxi was there, yawning and leaning groggily on the sofa.
"Didn’t you sleep last night?" Tang Wan smiled at her.
"Had work to do, didn’t sleep until after two."
...
After breakfast, the makeup artist responsible for Tang Wan’s bridal look arrived, and everyone got busy with their own tasks. Tang Yunxian went to take a shower, put on a brand new suit, looking as elegant and spirited as ever.
When Shen Shuci arrived at the hotel, she went straight to Tang Wan’s room, where Jiang Jinsang would soon co to pick her up. The linens had been changed to a bright red, and Ruan ngxi was half-squatting on the ground, seemingly preparing props needed for the wedding reception, blowing up balloons. She greeted warmly as she entered.
"Need any help?"
"I can manage myself." Ruan ngxi looked her over, "Auntie, your outfit is beautiful today, I’ve never seen you in a qipao before."
Shen Shuci was wearing a reddish qipao today, specially made for the wedding by the Shen family matriarch.
Previously, in Pingjiang, she had worn a qipao once and looked beautiful, but that qipao was bluish-green, not quite suitable for a festive day, so they had a new one made for her.
She felt uncomfortable wearing it, but the matriarch was firm, saying on Tang Wan’s big day, as her maiden family’s representative, she must dress beautifully, leaving her no choice but to wear the qipao.
"Auntie, dressed like this, if Grandpa Huo sees you, I don’t think he could control himself, probably imdiately..." Ruan ngxi was about to run with the joke but changed the topic since there were a few makeup artists in the room, "Is Grandpa Huo coming today?"
"He drove back last night." Shen Shuci saw his ssage this morning.
Tang Wan was naturally happy to hear that Huo Qinqi could make it back. Jiang Jinsang didn’t have many close friends, and on big days always hoped everyone could be there neatly.
**
anwhile, at the Jiang Family, Fan Mingyu was repeatedly checking the items needed for the wedding reception.
Qi Zeyan’s place was relatively far from the Jiang Mansion, and by the ti he arrived, the mansion was bustling, "I’m not the last one, right?"
"Nope, Old Huo hasn’t arrived yet." Jiang Chengsi was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, eating sunflower seeds.
The matriarch was chatting with an old friend, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw him in a suit eating seeds and couldn’t help but frown, couldn’t this boy pay attention to his image?
"He ca ho last night, quite a rush, but there’s still ti before departure, no need to hurry."
With just over ten minutes until departure, Huo Qinqi still hadn’t arrived, so Jiang Jinsang called him.
Due to his profession, he’s usually very punctual, couldn’t it be that sothing unexpected happened?
"Hey, Old Huo, why aren’t you here yet?" Jiang Jinsang glanced at his watch, with just ten minutes left until it’s ti to leave for the wedding reception.
"I’m already here."
His voice was low, cold, and indifferent as usual.
"You’re already here?" Jiang Jinsang raised his eyebrow slightly, glancing at the cars in the courtyard, Huo family’s car, like himself, although lowkey, it’s hard to ignore.
There were many Jiang family mbers today, but if he were here, he would definitely stand out; it would be impossible for no one to notice, right?
In that instant, his heart skipped a beat, suddenly having a bad premonition.
After a mont’s thought, he imdiately understood what he ant...
"Hmm, been here for a while."
"You wouldn’t be..." Jiang Jinsang gently rubbed his fingers, "at the hotel?"
"Any problem?"
Jiang Jinsang listened to him, clenched his phone, and just smiled, "No problem."
He and Shen Shuci are a couple, bound to beco husband and wife; if you were to consider the closeness of relationships, it should be Tang Wan’s maternal family. He hadn’t fully won over the Shen family’s elders yet, joining Jiang Jinsang in the wedding reception and helping him overco nurous obstacles didn’t seem quite suitable...
It might also create a bad impression with the Shen family patriarch.
After thinking it over, he still decided to go to the hotel.
Not only did he go alone, but he brought the Huo family, including Huo Ran.
Huo Ran is Jiang Chengsi’s crazy fan; he’d definitely want to side with his idol. When he heard he had to be part of the bride’s family, he imdiately protested.
"Brother, Fifth Brother is your bro; you guys have such deep ties, aren’t you putting romance before friendship? Shouldn’t you stay with him for the wedding reception? If you do this, Fifth Brother would be really hurt, and your group of friends and brothers, aren’t you all in this together."
"Which of them can give children or warm my bed?"
Huo Ran: "..."
He was stumped, montarily speechless, this argunt seems... to have so reason indeed.
Between brothers and a wife, there’s still a huge difference.
Huo Qinqi saw him all sulky and, with a nonchalant face, said, "If you want to go to the Jiang family, you can go by yourself."
No matter how much Huo Ran idolized Jiang Chengsi, it wasn’t to the point of risking his life for him, so ultimately, he caved under soone’s ’tyranny’.
...
During the wedding, a good brother defected to the "enemy camp", is there anything more heartbreaking than this?
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yanting and the others definitely asked where Huo Qinqi was and when he’d be coming over. Learning that soone has "gone to the other side", they looked at each other, at a loss for words.
"We were eagerly waiting for him, this is too disappointing." Qi Zeyan clicked his tongue, "No worries, it’s just a wedding reception. Without him, it’s not like it can’t be done."
"I’m just worried..." Jiang Chengsi continued to eat his seeds, "Do you think he might help the Tang family make things difficult for us?"
"If he stands there, it really is like a single man blocking everyone, who could get by him?"
Jiang Jinsang, however, smiled, "He won’t."
"How do you know he won’t?" Qi Zeyan asked.
"What’s his current status? The grandfather hasn’t acknowledged him; if he really makes it difficult for us, that would be like admitting his relationship with Auntie, with so many relatives and friends around, the grandpa wouldn’t do that." Jiang Jinsang pondered, "Unacknowledged position lacks legitimacy, what grounds does he have to stand out?"
Qi Zeyan twitched his mouth corner, such words...
Are pretty heartbreaking!
Wasn’t he just saying Huo Qinqi is an unacknowledged wild man, without any qualification?
But the truth is, indeed, like that.
"Better safe than sorry." Jiang Chengsi smirked, "Who would’ve thought Old Huo is that kind of person, really misjudged him, when drinking tonight, don’t hold back, just keep pouring him drinks."
"What’s the worry, what cos around goes around, when he’s the one getting married, do you think he’d escape?" Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly.
He’s Tang Wan’s husband, a legit mber of Shen Shuci’s family; anyway, if you stab now, are you afraid there won’t be a chance to hit back with a club?
Qi Zeyan and Jiang Chengsi looked at each other...
The wedding hasn’t started yet, how co it feels like a spy drama, they’ve begun scheming.
