Chapter 578: 0568 As you wish Chapter 578: 0568 As you wish Tan Lirong and Su Hongde, as the parents of the bride, were incredibly busy on this auspicious day; their figures were nowhere to be seen.
In the living room, only Su Zhongyuan and Wen Peipei were present.
Wen Peipei sat to one side, observing Su Zhongyuan’s silence for a while.
After a long time, she finally spoke up:
“After Xinyan and Gu Heng’s wedding is over, Hongde and I will transfer all our shares to her. Today, as Xinyan is getting married, don’t you think you, as her grandfather, should also make some gesture?”
Su Zhongyuan snorted coldly without saying a word, just giving Wen Peipei a sidelong glance.
Wen Peipei’s expression changed, and her tone became harsh.
“What? You’ve been stalling ever since the last time I asked you to show your stance. Tomorrow Xinyan will officially become a part of the Gu Family. Today is the best and last opportunity. What are you still hesitating for?”
Su Zhongyuan’s face looked quite unsightly; he stared at Wen Peipei and said in a deep voice:
“The Su Family is nearly cleaned out by you all, what else do you expect me to give her?”
Wen Peipei frowned, “What do you mean by the Su Family is nearly cleaned out by us? Isn’t this family going to be inherited by Xinyan in the future? What’s the difference between giving to her now and giving to her in the future? Moreover, on such an occasion today, it not only enhances the Su Family’s prestige but also allows Xinyan to hold her head high in front of the Gu Family.”
Wen Peipei’s words not only failed to improve Su Zhongyuan’s expression but made it grow darker instead.
But she still continued relentlessly:
“Since it involves sending off the bride in the presence of Yong City’s elite, it certainly can’t be shabby. How about this, you give that twenty-five percent of the Enrich shares to Xinyan, and those real estate funds can also be proudly presented to her on this occasion…”
“Wen Peipei, I’m not dead yet. You can’t hide your greedy face, just marry if you want to marry, and stop playing those little tricks.”
Su Zhongyuan interrupted Wen Peipei without leaving her any face at all.
Wen Peipei’s complexion instantly darkened.
“You say I’m greedy? Why am I doing all this? Isn’t it for the Su Family?”
“Stop placating me with that excuse, the Su Family doesn’t need you to do any of this.”
Wen Peipei wanted to say something else when Su Xinyan, who had finished putting on makeup, came down from upstairs.
Because she was wearing a wedding dress, her movement was somewhat hindered, and four servants followed behind, carefully holding up the hem of her dress, all with a very cautious demeanor.
Clad in a white wedding dress and with delicate makeup painted on her face, Su Xinyan was radiant today, pure and flawless like a piece of exquisite jade.
“Grandpa, Grandma, what’s wrong?”
Seeing the cautious and worried expression on Su Xinyan’s face, Wen Peipei felt a twinge of pity.
“It’s nothing. Today is your big joyful day, nothing else matters. Just wait peacefully for Gu Heng to come to get you.”
A shy blush spread across Su Xinyan’s face, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked up at Wen Peipei and said:
“Grandma, will my sister come to my wedding?”
Su Xinyan asked tentatively, her gaze towards Wen Peipei filled with hope.
As soon as Su Ran was mentioned, Wen Peipei’s face soured.
“Today is your wedding day; why would she come?”
“Grandma, after all, my sister is my close blood relative. How can she be absent from such a joyful occasion? Moreover, the affair with Brother Heng… it was my fault after all, I know my sister won’t forgive me, but today, I really hope to receive her blessing…”
Seeing the fragile and hurt expression on Su Xinyan’s face, Wen Peipei felt heartache.
“Alright, give her a call and ask.”
Su Xinyan’s face lit up with joy, as delighted as a child.
“I’ll call my sister.”
Su Ran had just gotten up when the phone began to ring.
Seeing a strange number, she didn’t pay much attention and answered the call.
“Sister, you’re not coming to my and Brother Heng’s wedding today?”
Su Ran’s brow furrowed slightly, and after a quick glance at the number on the screen, she replied:
At the end of her words, Su Xinyan’s hesitant and weak voice, filled with reluctance and grievance, once again came through.
“Sister, what could be more important than my wedding? Are you still mad at me because of Brother Heng? Is that why you refuse to come to our wedding?”
“But, sister, Brother Heng and I truly love each other. Can’t you bless us?”
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, sneering inwardly.
“Ha, are you sure you want me to go?”
Su Xinyan instinctively became vigilant, then realizing the implication, she said happily:
“Of course, I sincerely invite my sister to attend my wedding.”
Su Xinyan’s voice unconsciously rose, sounding somewhat sharp and grating.
Then realizing that there were people in the living room, her eyes flickered, and she said softly:
“Sister, are you really going to attend my wedding?”
The tone of Su Ran made Su Xinyan even more alert.
Of course, she wanted her to come!
She hoped she would witness her own marriage to Gu Heng!
Today’s wedding, including Gu Heng, was what she had snatched from her hands.
How could she be absent at such an important occasion?
Only with her presence, could she truly feel the sense of superiority that belonged to the victor.
But now, she feared that she would cause some kind of trouble…
Su Ran, hearing Su Xinyan’s cautious, probing, doubtful, and defensive tone, couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“Of course, you want my blessing, don’t you? I will personally bring you my blessing, and I also have a gift for you.”
Su Xinyan’s brow twitched fiercely, “A gift?”
Su Ran lifted an eyebrow, her tone pregnant with meaning.
“That’s right, isn’t it a pleasant surprise?”
Su Xinyan bit her lip, “Naturally, it’s a pleasant surprise to receive a gift from my sister.”
“Don’t worry, it will certainly be a bigger surprise when the time comes.”
Su Xinyan felt a sudden throbbing in her temples, an ominous premonition rising within her.
“You…” beep beep beep…
Before she could finish, the call was hung up, leaving her with a busy tone.
“Is that scourge not coming?”
Wen Peipei saw the situation and asked in a deep voice.
Su Xinyan held the phone, smiling slightly.
“My sister said she would come.”
Wen Peipei’s brow furrowed, unsure why.
Between her coming and not coming!
If she came, it would be even more nerve-wracking!
The feeling that something might happen was ever-present!
At that moment, the sound of firecrackers erupted outside the door of the villa–the groom had arrived.
Su Xinyan’s face flushed, her heart fluttering with excitement.
Wen Peipei saw the expression on her face and took it all in, her aged and shrewd eyes full of kindness and benevolence.
“Xinyan, you should prepare quickly, Gu Heng is here to pick you up!”
Su Xinyan bit her lip, nodding shyly.
The Gu family, as a prominent household of Yong City, naturally became the focus of attention with their extravagant dowry.
So, the procession of dowry-carrying vehicles driving into the Su Family Villa left the journalists who were following the event in shock.
