The cars arranged by the Long Family took away all the relatives and friends that needed to be sent off. The only ones left were Su ng’s grandmother, her aunt, and that Hu Li.
Originally, according to Su ng’s grandmother, Hu Li should have left with the cars as well. Even her treasured eldest grandson was hurrying ho to study—why was Hu Li staying behind?
The wedding was already over. What was she still doing here?
Moreover, her behavior earlier at the hotel made the elderly lady vaguely uneasy, fearing that Hu Li had been dazzled by wealth and luxury.
What kind of unmarried woman would talk behind others’ backs like that? Even though Hu Li was whispering with the daughter-in-law, the grandmother, sitting so close by, wasn’t deaf—how could she not hear?
Su ng’s friends finding boyfriends with money—how was that any of Hu Li’s business?
That was soone else’s fate, sothing you simply can’t envy your way into!
Besides, even Hu Li’s mother left with the cars. If Hu Li stayed behind and caused so trouble, whose fault would it be?
But Su ng’s aunt kept pounding her chest and vowing that Hu Li just wanted to stay a few more days to keep Mrs. Su company.
After all, Su ng had just been married, and there’d be the three-day "returning to the bride’s ho" ritual. If the bride’s side didn’t have enough people around then, wouldn’t it look lonely and unpresentable?
If they were going to leave, they might as well wait until after the three-day custom! Then Hu Li could leave with them, and it would be fine.
Su ng’s grandmother, feeling helpless, said nothing more. She had always thought her daughter-in-law’s niece was a headstrong person.
But whatever the old lady said now wouldn’t help and might even upset people. So she decided to keep quiet.
Mrs. Su was steeped in a sense of loneliness. Now that her daughter was married, the house felt empty upon returning ho!
She didn’t really pay attention to what they were saying. Anyway, it was only a matter of staying a few more days. At most, her own mother might linger here for a bit longer, but her younger sister-in-law’s son had exams coming up and couldn’t stay no matter what!
The next day, Bai Shasha ca specifically to find Li Si and report on the aftermath of last night’s wedding gas. Apparently, Long Wu had really taken a beating from that group!
The worst offender was Xu Er. Who knows where he dug up those ideas from? Even though Su ng was pregnant and Xu Er claid he went easy on them, he still tornted Long Wu and Su ng to no end.
But Long Wu later threatened him, saying that since this was already done, he would definitely get his revenge when Xu Er and Bai Shasha got married.
Under Bai Shasha’s sternly warning glare, Xu Er finally toned it down.
Otherwise, Long Wu probably wouldn’t have made it back to his bridal chamber!
Today was Christmas, and every business was decked out in festive lights, doing everything they could to drive sales.
On a holiday like this, shopping malls, cinemas, and hotels were all completely packed.
Li Si, being quite far along in her pregnancy, avoided crowded places. Lately, she had found herself uncomfortable around too many people, feeling like she couldn’t breathe and becoming utterly distressed.
Leng Mochen, of course, took care of her. If she didn’t want to go out, he definitely supported her decision wholeheartedly!
Coincidentally, Li Si had a craving for his braised pork ribs, so he decided to show off his cooking skills today.
Initially, Bai Shasha and Xu Er had planned to spend a romantic day together, but upon noticing Leng Mochen personally taking to the kitchen, how could they pass up such a golden opportunity?
What a treat! In the end, not only did Bai Shasha summon Xu Er over, but she also brought newlyweds Long Wu and Su ng along.
Well then! With such a small amount of food, how much would be enough for everyone?
Long Wu and Xu Er imdiately drove off to make a big grocery run.
anwhile, Li Si, Bai Shasha, and Su ng, dressed in her red dress, sat in the living room chatting, while Leng Mochen tactfully avoided the conversation. He didn’t need to guess—they were surely talking about those ever-mysterious won’s topics.
"ng ng! How did you feel about the wedding yesterday? Co on, tell us two who haven’t had our weddings yet!" Bai Shasha asked with a laugh, eager to gain so experience in advance.
Leaning back into the sofa, Su ng sighed and started to vent. "Here’s a piece of precious advice for you two! First of all, don’t sacrifice comfort for beauty by picking heels that are too high or thin. I knew not to do that because I’m pregnant, so I didn’t pick heels that were too tall.
But I completely forgot about new shoes being tight—especially since my wedding shoes were pointed-toe. Yesterday, I was just at my wits’ end! The shoes rubbed my feet raw, and by the end, I couldn’t even stand properly!"
"What? You had such stamina!" Li Si exclaid, rembering how Su ng still looked full of energy while greeting guests and sending them off with Long Wu.
Bai Shasha, looking sympathetic, chid in. "Li Si, that was a lesson paid for in blood! We need to properly thank Comrade Su ng for paving the way for us!"
"Thanks to Comrade Su ng’s sacrifice! Later, have more to eat, alright?" Li Si playfully echoed.
Su ng pouted, pointing mockingly at the two of them. "You two are so heartless! Fine, fine, since I’m the bigger person here, I won’t argue with you. But seriously, my face muscles are still stiff! Smiling all day is no joke!"
She didn’t even dare tell them this: after that disaster of a wedding ga, she could only think about wiping off her makeup, taking a hot bath, and collapsing into sleep.
Bai Shasha couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re making it sound like acting in a TV drama! Was it really that bad?"
In Bai Shasha’s mind, weddings should be romantic, warm, sweet, and blissful. Sure, it might be tiring, but not to the extent Su ng described!
Then again, since Su ng had married Long Wu, his side of the family did have a ridiculous number of guests. Smiling all day—it really was sothing only the person going through it would understand.
Su ng glared at her. "Do you think I’d lie to you? Honestly, the attendees probably had the best ti. For us, it felt like being puppets on a string, doing whatever others told us to! Do you still rember the whole wedding certificate scene?"
"Haha! Yes, I do! Brother Wu—what was going through his mind then? How could he react so slowly?" Back then, Li Si couldn’t stop laughing. Usually, Brother Wu had sharp reflexes. How could he fumble at such a crucial mont? Was it on purpose, letting Su ng win?
She and Leng Mochen even joked that just for that, Brother Wu was definitely a good husband!
Su ng animatedly revealed, "What are you talking about? He actually wanted to snatch it! But the emcee whispered to him that the bride should win, which was why he hesitated and let snatch it!"
"I thought he was purposely letting you win!" Turns out, her assumptions had been completely off!
Alright then, weddings really were like the Spring Festival Gala—entertaining for the audience, exhausting for the perforrs.
"ng ng! I heard your wedding gas got pretty intense?" Li Siwei, who hadn’t been able to attend, expressed her deep regret.
"Hehe! I got there early and learned a bit!" Bai Shasha raised her hand, ready to co clean.
Su ng blushed deeply. "Don’t even get started! Xu Er from her side caused the most trouble! Last night, we all agreed that when it’s their turn to get married, we’ll pay them back double!"
Bai Shasha quickly grabbed Su ng’s hands and shook them. "No, ng ng! You really can’t bear to watch suffer, can you?" Last night’s gas had been fun as a spectator, but if she were the bride, it wouldn’t be so amusing!
Su ng gave her a sharp look. "Oh, I can bear it, alright! Watching your Xu Er jump up and down like that—all those crazy ideas? You think I didn’t know he was behind it?"
Everything from stuffing chopsticks to rolling out dough—sure, they claid to be considerate since she was pregnant, but even those weren’t easy to pull off!
They really were ruthless! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this story, feel free to visit Qidian to vote for recomndations or monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
