Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Wedding (2)
Su Guo’an looked at her dissatisfiedly, “What do you know? Lianxi marrying into the Ning Family is a good thing, but we do not match their household, if without the support from her maternal family, Lianxi’s days would also be tough ahead. If Young Master He brought Zhixi to attend the wedding, in the eyes of others, they are Lianxi’s maternal family, a powerful backing. People would hesitate to offend the He Family in the future!”
Lin Shuyue gave him a displeased glare, “What mismatched household? Our Lianxi is Yichen’s lifesaver!”
“Alright,” Su Lianxi frowned, seemingly reluctant to hear her parents discuss this, “Stop worrying about Su Zhixi! You two, please leave, don’t disturb my makeup!”
“Okay, okay, our Lianxi is going to be the most beautiful bride today!” Lin Shuyue said with a beaming smile, while pulling Su Guo’an out of the room.
The couple continued to argue in low voices after they left the makeup room.
“I told you not to call that girl Su Zhixi anymore, but you wouldn’t listen! Humph, she doesn’t acknowledge you as her father anymore. In Yanzhou City, you’ve been squeezed out of business by the He Family, and in the future, we’ll have to rely on Lianxi!” Lin Shuyue chided him.
Su Guo’an glared at her angrily, “I think you’re the one who’s lost your mind! We’ve been in Yangdong City for so long, have the elders of the Ning Family ever taken a proper look at us? I was still hoping to make a comeback here! The so-called life-saving grace that Lianxi had towards Yichen ended the moment she married into the Ning Family. Is she going to use that supposed life-saving grace to make demands for the rest of her life?”
Lin Shuyue, unsatisfied, moved her lips as if to retort, but Su Guo’an cut her off, “Besides, we all know what really happened with that so-called life-saving grace! It’s best if you keep your wits about you and never bring it up again. Otherwise, if the Ning Family gets annoyed and decides to investigate… do you really think they won’t find out?”
Lin Shuyue still looked disdainful, “Yichen likes Lianxi, and it’s not just because he thinks Lianxi saved him! Even if he knew the truth, he wouldn’t do anything to Lianxi!”
“You…” Su Guo’an was so angry he couldn’t continue, “I won’t argue with you!”
“You just can’t win an argument with me, can you?” Lin Shuyue, feeling victorious, shouted triumphantly into Su Gu’oan’s ear.
The couple was so engrossed in their argument that they didn’t realize their voices had gradually gotten louder, carrying far on the wind.
Ning Yichen walked over from the lawn, planning to visit Su Lianxi in the makeup room.
Today was his wedding day, and the celebration was incredibly grand, but his mood was strangely gloomy, with no sign of the anticipation and happiness that should come with being a groom. He and his parents smiled as they greeted their guests, accepting their good wishes, yet he had an absurd feeling, as if he was not the groom at all.
This wedding, which he had fought so hard for, somehow couldn’t bring him joy. While greeting the guests, he couldn’t help but hope for Su Zhixi’s appearance… He wanted to know if she would show even a hint of longing or regret upon seeing such a grand wedding scene… regret for so easily giving him up to throw herself into He Jingyao’s arms.
However, to his disappointment, she never showed up.
The feeling of loss was downright irrational… Ning Yichen kept telling himself that Lianxi was the person he liked, but it didn’t seem to help much.
So, after a break in his greeting duties, Ning Yichen headed for Su Lianxi’s makeup room.
