For me, the biggest attraction at the wedding was Miss Jing Yan. She was once Nanyang’s best friend but now she was Nanyang’s sister-in-law. She spent all her time telling people that Nanyang was not good enough for her big brother.
Jing Yan said, Nanyang was too ugly, even uglier than Nanxing.
Jing Yan said, Nanyang was uneducated, she didn’t know how to respect her mother-in-law.
Jing Yan said, Nanyang had a bad personality. She was two-faced. Nanyang was gentle before others but unruly behind others.
With Jing Yan’s great effort, the good reputation Nanyang had collected over the years got destroyed. But when people were laughing at Nanyang, were they not laughing at Jing Yan too?
Jing Yan didn’t seem to realize that Nanyang was her sister-in-law. When she talked badly about Nanyang, she was slandering the name of the Jing Family and the Nan Family. She truly had made a joke of herself at the wedding.
I saw Master Wei Wu arrive with Lee Yang.
At that moment, I realized there was a handsome man following behind Jing Yan. He looked rather like Lee Yang. When she saw Lee Yang, Jing Yan immediately stopped what she was doing. She let go of the young man’s hand and became flustered.
However, Lee Yang didn’t even look at her as he walked towards me. I turned around. I didn’t want to talk to this man again.
“Nanxing!” Lee Yang called out behind me.
I sighed and turned around to face him.
“How… is she?” Lee Yang was vague.
I answered, “That has nothing to do with you. So stop asking.”
Lee Yang’s expression was ice-cold. “Nanxing, what can I do to make you forgive me?”
I laughed. “Young Master Lee Yang, please don’t place that pressure on me. There is nothing for me to forgive. I am not here to ease the guilt in your heart.”
“Nanxing, I regret it a lot, really! I need you to tell me the latest update on Jing Ni. If possible, can I meet her? Even just for one glance. I need to see that she is safe, that’s all.” Lee Yang pleaded.
I said seriously, “I don’t think that is what you want. You just want to see her safe so that you can feel better about yourself. Lee Yang, she is fine. You don’t need to worry about her.”
I turned and walked away, leaving behind the embarrassed Lee Yang. I had no pity for the man and I knew that no matter what happened to Jing Ni, she would not choose to be with Lee Yang again.
I reunited with Mai Qi and Lu Yan. They were talking excitedly about everything they had seen. This was Lu Yan’s first time at a place like this so she was cautious. Mai Qi kept her close and entertained.
Lu Yan kept looking around. I believed she was looking for Ye Qian. But Ye Qian had not arrived. She would probably arrive when the wedding started. That was the way she’d show that she didn’t care for Jing Ning’s wedding.
…
The wedding finally began. When Nan Feng held Nanyang’s hand down the aisle to hand her to Jing Ning, Li Yuan cried so hard. Everyone in the Nan Family thought that Nanyang would have a better life with the Jing Family. All the dangers were over.
Studying Nanyang who was looking at Jing Ning lovingly, I thought about myself from my previous life. Why didn’t I see the impatience in Jing Ning’s eyes? Why didn’t I hear the mocking words of the guests? Why didn’t I notice the scheming expressions of the other girls?
Because I was charmed by Jing Ning, just like how Nanyang was now.
