Chapter 473: Chapter 473 No Trouble Chapter 473: Chapter 473 No Trouble Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan were called to the living room by An Cheng and Wei Shufen.
Bai Xiao glanced at An Zhiyuan, who innocently spread his hands.
Was there even a need to ask?
It must have something to do with Monk Feng and his daughter’s visit.
She tried her hardest to escape it, but sadly, she still couldn’t manage.
Bring it on then, let’s see who survives this.
As both of them sat down, An Zhiyuan didn’t wait for An Cheng to speak and already said, “Dad, the Chief has ordered to attend my wedding with Bai Xiao, but we’ve discussed it already. The ceremony when we were at the front was already held, and for us, that was the real wedding. We just wanted to have a simple meal with family, friends, and some of dad’s old friends that we really can’t avoid. That way, even if the Chief es, it won’t cause a big fuss.”
Once this topic was brought up, An Cheng indeed pletely forgot about Shang Feng’s matter, his son’s marriage was the most important.
“But wouldn’t that be too unfair to Bai Xiao?”
Wei Shufen spoke gently, looking at Bai Xiao with eyes full of affection and consideration.
An Cheng patted his wife, thinking she always considered others too much, seeing how she was so openhearted with her daughter-in-law after only having met her for a short time.
“Bai Xiao, what do you think? You only get married once in a lifetime, and although the ceremony is the most beautiful memory in your hearts, we as parents can’t let you down either. We have to give you a decent wedding, not to mention there are many uncles and aunts waiting to meet you. If it’s too simple, I’m afraid we won’t be able to justify it.” An Cheng also liked simplicity. In their eyes, a wedding was just a formality, and if it wasn’t for his son, he wouldn’t be encouraging wasteful extravagance.
In their time, they pleted their vows with just a copy of Chairman Mao’s Quotations, not like the children of today with so many things, cars for transport, make-up and styling, wedding banquets in hotels; in An Cheng’s eyes, that’s just capitalist ostentation which is not advisable.
Bai Xiao smiled faintly, “Ayuan and I have also considered it, and we don’t plan to be extravagant or wasteful. It’s all just a formality. This time, it was mainly about having a meal with family and friends to express our feelings.” She didn’t want the hassle either.
An Zhiyuan held her hand tightly. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give her a lively wedding, but since her dearest relatives weren’t here, without her family, he didn’t want her to face so many strangers with a forced smile. A wedding was about the two of them, and it was never intended as a performance for others.
He didn’t want to tire out his most beloved.
“What Bai Xiao said also reflects my feelings, dad. There’s no need for that extravagant display, and besides, the Chief probably wouldn’t want to see such a wedding either. We should just invite a few tables of relatives and close friends, have a meal, and express our sentiments,” An Zhiyuan insisted.
An Cheng was satisfied; it was good his son had such a clear understanding, his son was just like him.
“Alright then, let your aunt arrange it, what do you think?” Knowing that his eldest and his second sons had issues with Wei Shufen, An Cheng didn’t want to cause his son any upset.
“Then we’ll trouble auntie with it!” An Zhiyuan agreed surprisingly promptly.
Wei Shufen forced a smile, “It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. I’m just afraid my arrangements won’t meet your tastes, since young people like you and older ones like us think differently. You’re more fashionable! I just hope you won’t find my ideas too outdated.”
“Of course not, how could we? Auntie, I’m sure you’ll arrange everything with the same care as if Ayuan were your own son. How could we possibly plain?” Bai Xiao said, her words disingenuous.
She had to disgust her a bit, to ensure she wouldn’t forget the domineering airs of Wei Shufen and Ding Min, and the behind-the-scenes scheming against her.
