Shi Guang made a trip home after obtaining the marriage certificate as well.
When they had separated, Shi Guang did not tell her grandma that she was going to obtain the certificate, and thus grandma thought that she was going out to celebrate with her friends and had gone home right away with her little auntie.
Unexpectedly, there were guests back home—Qiao Yuwei’s mother along with her grandmother, that is, Mo Jin’s paternal grandmother.
Mo Jin’s father’s surname was Su, and this Grandma Su was still rather doting toward her granddaughter, Mo Jin. However, she did not have a single bit of fondness toward that niece in law that was raised by her son, an orphan left behind by others—Shi Guang.
In the past, she had always hinted time and again—be it intentionally or not—for Shi Guang to be sent back to her grandmother’s place. However, she had always been rejected.
To her, Shi Guang was just like a thorn in her butt.
And it was precisely because she did not want to see Shi Guang that she had chosen to come and visit her granddaughter—Mo Jin—knowing that Shi Guang was having a swimming event today.
But, Shi Guang’s sudden appearance had Grandma Su’s face turning black instantly. Mother Qiao gave off a bitter, cold chuckle as well.
Because they were both her elders, Shi Guang could only smile out at them faintly and say nothing more as she went to sit beside her grandma.
As Grandma Su was conversing with Mo Jin, grandma whispered to Shi Guang, asking her softly why she had come over suddenly.
Shi Guang had not told grandma that she was going to obtain the marriage certificate because Mo Jin was around. And because of that, she did not say that she was leaving with Lu Yanchen when she had left earlier on as well.
“Aren’t you going out to celebrate with your friends tonight?”
“Yupps, I’m meeting Coach Zhang, Li Fangfei and the others for dinner tonight before heading back to school,” Shi Guang paused for a moment. Seeing how Grandma Su and Mother Qiao was still around, she said nothing about the marriage certificate.
“Little Chen will be coming with his family to discuss the wedding the day after tomorrow. You must remember to come stay over tomorrow night,” Grandma reminded her.
“Alright, grandma!” Shi Guang nodded her head.
The moment Mother Qiao heard the word ‘wedding’, she raised her voice, “Oh? Who’s getting married?”
Little auntie looked at her and replied, “Shi Guang. She’s going to get married with Little Chen.”
What
For a moment, Mother Qiao thought that she had heard wrongly.
The previous time around at the hospital, she had found out that the Little Chen was the Young Master Lu that her daughter was talking about. Didn’t they say that he had an exceptional family background? How could their family allow their son to marry an orphan?
She was filled with both envy and jealousy.
Glaring at Shi Guang with a death stare, she wanted to think that everything was all fake. But, didn’t they mention that they were going to discuss the wedding the day after tomorrow? How could that be fake then?
She had not met that Young Master Lu before, but she wondered if he was touched in the head. Otherwise, why would he choose not to fancy her own gorgeous daughter, and instead choose to go for such an ordinary girl?
There must definitely be some problem.
The moment she went back, she told her daughter about how Shi Guang was going to get married. When Qiao Yuwei heard that, she was dumbfounded.
Lu Yanchen?
The 4th Young Master of the Lu Family?
Marrying Shi Guang?
How could that be!
Besides, she had heard rumors that Lu Yanchen had a fiancée. And even if he didn’t, how could the Lus allow an orphan into their family?
She asked her mother, “Mum, could you have heard wrongly?”
Mother Qiao replied with utmost certainty, “Definitely not! They even said that they were going to discuss the wedding plans the day after tomorrow.”
Looking at how terrible her daughter’s face had turned, she paused for a moment before comforting her, “Wei’er, you will definitely find a man better than that.”
Things would have been fine if she had not said that. But after she did, Qiao Yuwei started crying out. Why was that Shi Guang so lucky?
She looked ordinary
She had no family background.
She was an orphan as well!
What kind of dumb, dirty luck was that to get married right into the Lus just because she taught him how to swim?
