Chapter 738: I Want To Do My Best To Make Sure She Isn’t Unhappy
Jixuan scratched his head and said, “I think with my sister’s personality, she will only invite people close to her. Forget about our so-called friends and business partners. I’ll still invite them according to my sister’s wishes. My sister will sort out the guest list for the bride’s side.”
Chengye was speechless.
This kid had been in charge of Chengye Group’s work recently and was doing a good job at it. He didn’t look as reckless and innocent as before. He was much more shrewd.
Chengye usually did not even need to explain himself for him to understand.
Why was he acting like a fool today, suddenly not understanding what he was saying?
Chengye paused for a moment and looked at Jixuan again. Chengye narrowed his eyes.
He suspected that Jixuan did it on purpose.
Jixuan was no longer as innocent as before.
How could he not understand what he was saying!
Chengye’s face darkened. “Are you playing dumb with me?”
Jixuan:
Jixuan could only sigh helplessly and stop pretending. “Dad, I know what you mean. You want me to ask if Sister will invite you, right?”
Chengye said angrily, “You brat, you’re really playing dumb with me!”
“I’m not playing dumb,” Jixuan said helplessly. “It’s just that you’re so worried, you think that she probably won’t invite you. Actually, I already know. You just want me to talk to her so that she invites you, or even…let you bring her down the aisle.”
Jixuan said, “Although my sister hasn’t told me about the wedding yet, but… I can help you ask, but I won’t persuade her. This is her wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime event. It is one of the most important events in her life. I don’t want to let her to do something she doesn’t want to do on such an important event and make her unhappy. She would feel regret when she recalls this wedding in the future, and she would not even want to recall it.”
“If she’s willing to invite you, she’ll take the initiative to mention it, which means she doesn’t mind,” Jixuan said. “But if she doesn’t want to, I don’t want her to be unhappy on such an important day. When she recalls it, she would not be happy either.”
“Dad, she’s not the original Jiang Xun. You can’t treat her as a substitute.” Jixuan continued, “Although she never said what kind of life she used to live, I don’t think it was such a good one.”
“She’s always been a big eater. She’s afraid that she won’t get to have her next meal. She’s afraid that she’ll be hungry in the future. She is strong and skilled, so she can protect herself. However, the premise of all this is that she might not be living well in her previous world. She might often starve or be in danger. If she was doing well, she wouldn’t need to learn any martial arts at all. She wouldn’t need to protect herself and there would be someone to protect her.
She wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry in the future.”
“She hasn’t been in this world for long. It’s not easy for her to have a good life. Moreover, she fought for such a good life by herself. It wasn’t given to her by others, nor was it given to her by our family. In fact, it has nothing to do with us.” Jixuan paused for a moment and took a deep breath. “So, it’s rare for her to have a good life. I want to do my best to make sure she isn’t unhappy.”
Chengye was silent for a while. Suddenly, he seemed to have put all his weight on the walking stick.
Now he no longer needed to use those especially large crutches under his armpits.
He could use a small and more beautiful walking stick.
It wouldn’t take long for him to completely get rid of the crutches.
However, at this moment, it was as if he could not exert any strength at all.
“Go on then.” Chengye said hoarsely, “If possible, help me ask about it.”
“Alright.” Jixuan nodded. He was no longer as happy as he was when he was about to go out. His shoulders were a little heavy as he went out.
He arrived at the restaurant where he was going to meet Jiang Xun and Mufeng.
After entering the restaurant, he told the waiter Mufeng’s name and was led to the room that Mufeng had reserved.
When he pushed open the door, Mufeng and Jiang Xun were already there. This made Jixuan feel very embarrassed.
“Sister, Brother-in-law, I’m sorry. I was delayed by something when I went out,” Jixuan said quickly, embarrassed.
“It’s fine. We just arrived,” Jiang Xun said with a smile, relieving some of the pressure on Jixuan..
