475: Chapter 474 Tension 475: Chapter 474 Tension Lin Fang, who arrived late, didn’t see Yu Hongli’s figure and only found out upon asking that Yu Hongli had already taken the car to pick up his bride.
“Aunt!
Why did they leave so early?” Lin Fang beca very disappointed, she had insomnia last night, tossing and turning, and only managed to sleep in the late night;
in order to present her best side today, she had taken great care in dressing up before coming over.
But the others had already left!
Luckily, she would still see that person later!
“It’s not early anymore!
It takes so ti to get from here to there, and by the ti we return, it will already be late!
Where are your mother and the others?” Lin Aijia chopped the cabbage swiftly, looking up at Lin Fang for a mont and imdiately noticing that her niece had dressed up specially for today.
The black dacron coat and gray pants, her two shining black braids tied with red silk, and her lips painted bright red; in Lin Aijia’s view, it would be better not to wear any at all, looking like they ate a dead child.
But today was her son’s wedding day, a day for celebration, so she didn’t want to make those kinds of remarks.
“They’ll co over in a while!
They’re helping my sister-in-law with the two kids!!”
Lin Fang didn’t dare say anything more; just as she was about to turn around and join Lin Xia inside to chat and keep company, Lin Aijia sent her off with an errand, “Lin Fang!
Go and help peel the potatoes!”
Lin Aijia didn’t regard Lin Fang as an outsider; her niece was a frequent resident in the house, so ordering her around had beco a habit.
Normally, Lin Fang wouldn’t have minded and would just have gotten to work, but her emotions that day were off; she imdiately felt an overwhelming sense of grievance, resenting that she couldn’t be as affluent as Lin Xia and receive a higher regard from others.
With a gloomy heart, she thought about how she could only et the driver through Lin Xia, but Lin Xia’s attitude from yesterday was clear; she didn’t want her to et the young man who drove.
Lin Fang was enraged inside.
Why could Lin Xia find such a well-off partner while she couldn’t?
She believed that her looks were not much inferior to Lin Xia’s!
It was just that Lin Xia, being in the clothing business herself, dressed better than her…
Sitting inside, keeping Lu Pengcheng, Song Yinran, and the others company, Lin Xia had no idea what Lin Fang in the kitchen was thinking.
Lu Pengcheng’s expression was unreadable, occasionally making small talk, but inside he was like a bottle of mixed feelings had been knocked over, with every taste swirling within.
It was his biological daughter’s wedding day, and yet he couldn’t reveal his identity.
Moreover, when Luo Yue saw him, it was uncertain how she would react.
He was afraid the child might impulsively show a disagreeable face to him, which could lead her in-laws to misunderstand her for having a bad temper.
But if he didn’t attend, he wouldn’t be able to overco the hurdle in his heart.
As a mother, Luo Xinyan couldn’t possibly co to attend the wedding on this side.
So, as a biological father, could he really just not co to see her?
Even just witnessing his daughter’s happiness would be sothing!
Lin Xia could sense the nervousness and conflict beneath Lu Pengcheng’s ostensibly calm facade.
So, she tried to keep the conversation focused on things that interested Lu Pengcheng to lighten the mood.
Song Yinran was the most cooperative, sensing so of the situation but pretending to be oblivious.
Gradually, Lu Pengcheng’s mood settled down.
Song Yinran, being of a similar age, despite their different fields and experiences, saw eye to eye with him; his father-in-law was also from the system, so he understood quite a few things and still had plenty to talk about.
Finally, the sounds of firecrackers could be heard from the front gate.
Everyone hurriedly ca out of the house, rushing towards the gate to see the bride!
Luo Yue, who had dressed up even more beautifully and elegantly, stepped out of the car, imdiately drawing gasps of amazent and admiration from everyone.
Who could have imagined that Yu Hongli’s bride would be so pretty and young?
Being seven years older, they thought she would look much older; Luo Yue’s appearance utterly overturned their previous conceptions!
After that, everyone began to praise Yu Hongli’s good fortune in a chorus of laughter; being able to marry such a beautiful and tall bride was seen as the blessing of many lifetis!
Lin Aijia and Yu Changbai were smiling so wide their eyes nearly disappeared.
Yu Hongli, too, was grinning broadly, while the happiness and love that shone through his eyes and brow flustered Luo Yue.
She gave him a quick glance, urging him to tone it down a bit.
Lin Gang stood among the crowd, and aside from being dazzled by Luo Yue, he also felt a sense of imbalance.
Lin Xia was too good to Yu Hongli!
He had initially scoffed at Yu Hongli for his lack of ability when he heard Yu was marrying a bride seven years his senior.
Failing to find a match at his age, he had to settle for an older maiden, and who knew what the story was!
But now that he saw her true face, comparing his own wife to Yu Hongli’s bride was like comparing a duck to a swan!
When Luo Yue’s gaze swept over Lu Pengcheng in the crowd, her expression changed subtly, but she maintained her smile.
Her mother had already warned her beforehand that Lu Pengcheng might co, and it was quite possible that he would attend Lin Xia’s aunt’s wedding.
Luo Yue still harbored hatred for Lu Pengcheng; such feelings were not easily dissolved.
But on her big day, in front of her in-laws and their friends and relatives, she obviously couldn’t show the slightest hint of it.
If he wanted to co, let him co; she could treat him like air and pretend he wasn’t there.
After a brief smoking intermission, Lin Aijia took the initiative to pull Luo Yue over to Lu Pengcheng and Song Yinran to introduce them.
“Luo Yue!
This is Lin Xia’s future father-in-law, and this is her uncle-in-law!”
In Lin Aijia’s eyes, her son getting married, with Lin Xia helping to arrange for the cars and bringing her future father-in-law and uncle-in-law over, was a trendous honor!
This kind of scene was unprecedented in their family!
She certainly wanted to introduce her daughter-in-law properly, to make her look more favorably upon their family.
Yu Hongli inwardly sweated bullets; his mother had moved too fast, and he had no chance to intercept and stop her.
Lin Xia also beca nervous.
With so many people watching, any wrong response from Luo Yue could easily be misinterpreted and lead to speculation.
Jiang Mingyuan and Song Yinran both had a subtle change in expression.
Luo Yue bit her lip and forced a smile on her face, greeting them politely, “Hello, uncle!
Hello, uncle-in-law!”
Lu Pengcheng’s eyes grew warm as he clenched his fists to suppress the tumult of emotions inside, “Hey!
Hello!
Child!
I wish you happiness and that you grow old together!”
He finally had the opportunity to bless his daughter to her face.
Luo Yue cast her eyes down to hide the emotions within, “Thank you, uncle!”
Song Yinran quickly added, “Miss, I wish you a happy marriage!”
“Thank you, uncle-in-law!”
She had managed to get through this mont with more surprise than peril, after which the bride was escorted to the bridal chamber.
Everyone began to find their seats, preparing to sit down and enjoy the al.
Lu Pengcheng was placed at the table with the older generation of the Yu Family along with Song Yinran and Jiang Mingyuan, while Lin Xia joined the won at another table.
The spread was a true traditional feast, with chicken, fish, at, and atballs, creating an atmosphere of joy and an opportunity to feast heartily…
