At this time, not far inside the courtyard, stood a slender young lady, whose skin was as white as frost and snow, tinged with a hint of pink. Her lively eyes were fixed on everything happening in the courtyard, and her lips were slightly curled, making it difficult to discern what she was thinking at that moment.
As the fight was nearly over, she moved her graceful, delicate steps slowly toward the two lying on the ground.
From her cherry-red lips came a clear voice, "Master Chu, long time no see."
Lying on the ground, Chu Lian heard the voice and removed the arm that had been shielding his eyes. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly propped up his weary body and stood up. At this moment, Xiaoxiao and the others also hurried over.
Seeing the young lady, their faces also registered surprise. Why would she appear at the Chu Mansion?
The young lady gave Xiaoxiao a slight smile, "Xiaoxiao, we meet again."
"Miss Wang, long time no see."
"Wen Nuan, what are you doing here?" Xiaoxiao asked, baffled. Indeed, she was none other than the young lady from the Cloth Shop they had encountered a few times before, Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan smiled without responding. At that moment, Han Yongsheng, who had been lying on the ground, stood up. He walked over to Wen Nuan’s side, "Thanks to you all, Wen Nuan and I got married yesterday."
"..." At this revelation, everyone was too shocked to speak. No one had expected things to take such a dramatic turn.
Seeing everyone’s surprised faces, Han Yongsheng smirked, "Aren’t you going to congratulate us?"
Xiaoxiao was the first to recover, quickly offering her congratulations, "Master Han, congratulations! I really didn’t expect you two to end up together, but you truly are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven."
"..." The corner of Han Yongsheng’s mouth twitched. What did she mean they ’ended up together’? If not for their meddling, would things have turned out this way?
Yang Ming also spoke up to offer his congratulations, "Congratulations to you both on tying the knot."
Seeing this situation, Chu Lian stepped forward, raised his palm, and the two men clasped hands in the air, as if sealing a brotherhood. Chu Lian didn’t offer congratulations but instead said, "Thank you."
Chu Lian was genuinely grateful. Han Yongsheng had his bride snatched away and ended up married, yet he chose not to pursue the matter. Chu Lian doubted he could have swallowed such an affront.
Han Yongsheng smiled silently. What else could he do? The incident had already occurred, and should he henceforth become an enemy of the Chu Family? Certainly, that was not the wisest course of action.
He was well aware of the force behind the Chu Family; he was no fool like the owner of the Dongfeng Restaurant, recklessly throwing himself against the odds.
Han Yongsheng was an exceptionally astute man. He had clearly analyzed the pros and cons. Now, forming an alliance with the Chu Family seemed the best choice. Had Miss Wang not married, with the strength of the Han Family, there might have been room to contest. But now there was no need.
He glanced at Wang Xiangxiang. The main reason was that he hadn’t really had feelings for Miss Wang, so he felt no great regret.
Seeing Han Yongsheng looking at her, Wang Xiangxiang felt somewhat embarrassed. This whole affair had started because of her, so she should apologize. Thus, she began, "Master Han, this matter started because of me. I am truly sorry. If it hadn’t been for me..."
"Miss Wang, there’s no need for apologies. This situation was also of my own making. I don’t know why you agreed to marry me initially, but I knew you were reluctant and yet I consented. As expected, things didn’t go as smoothly as anticipated."
