Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Qingwu is Their Star
They were each other’s first love!
Pei Jue’s fingers lightly grazed Qingwu’s rosy lips.
“If only the ti and place had been right… What a pity.”
Feeling the scorching intensity in his gaze, Qingwu, at this mont, understood exactly what Pei Jue ant by ‘pity’!
Ji Qiurong, ever a clever mind, had implented abundant candle-thed elents in the show.
The backstage was adorned with nurous high-standing, palace-style candles whose graceful designs made the venue feel like an ancient castle.
To prevent the flas from scorching the fabric, the candles were enclosed in glass casings.
Warm orange-yellow light pooled in Qingwu’s eyes.
The crackling sound of the flas spread along the flickering glow; at this mont, their eyes held only each other!
And, at this mont, hearts were set aflutter!
Qingwu gently pushed away. “Outside… there are many waiting for us. I’ll head out first.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Pei Jue bent forward in a gentleman’s bow before her, extending his hand before her eyes.
“Since you’re my bride, it’s only right that I hold your hand.”
Today wasn’t even their engagent banquet.
But to Pei Jue, this was the first day his beloved wore a wedding gown for him!
Qingwu placed her hand into his as a radiant smile spread across her face.
“I’ll leave it to you, then.”
“It’s my honor.”
The curtains lifted, light spilling into a corner as everyone in the audience collectively held their breath!
The four sons of the Shen Family all felt their hearts leap up to their throats!
Each stared, fixed intently on the direction where Qingwu would erge!
The tall man wearing an impeccably tailored white suit stepped forward, holding Qingwu’s hand!
Perhaps it was coincidence, but Pei Jue’s suit was white today as well. Backstage, Qingwu had casually switched out his tie.
Now, they truly resembled a couple dressed in engagent attire.
The spotlight on the stage focused exclusively on them, their perfectly matched figures radiating elegance!
Even the dia hadn’t anticipated Pei Jue himself showing up for such an occasion!
For what was only a fitting of the engagent attire, Chairman Pei’s personal appearance signified how much he cherishes Miss Shen from the bottom of his heart.
“Chairman Pei and Miss Shen really couldn’t be more perfect together. I heard the Pei Clan recently acquired several factories as a betrothal gift for her…”
“That’s nothing. Know the land in the eastern part of the city? Everyone fought tooth and nail for it, but even that was gifted by Pei Clan!”
“What kind of betrothal gift requires nine figures…”
The audience below gasped in astonishnt!
The four sons of the Shen Family were wide-eyed in disbelief!
In their eyes, there was only their younger sister, dressed in the wedding gown!
Shen Jishi’s eyes grew moist, heavy with emotion.
“Wow, our little sister is so beautiful… but Pei Jue, that lucky bastard, gets to marry her…”
Shen Boyi was the most composed—his gaze fell on Qingwu, juxtaposed against her childhood self within the background, sewing fabric with Li Zhu.
At this mont, it felt as though ti had layered over itself!
Their little sister had grown up in places beyond their sight.
And grown up so well!
She had already found soone to walk through life with, hand in hand.
It felt as though she no longer needed them!
Shen Shushan took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears—a vulnerable mont captured by the surrounding dia.
He just couldn’t help but feel sorrow!
No wonder Chu Yuheng was so certain—Ye Yi had to be the chosen spokesperson.
The designer had picked the most suitable representative for the brand, valuing his style and influence.
And it was also their sister who chose her brother!
Ye Yi would be the spokesperson, and it could only ever be him!
For the first ti in his life, Shen Shushan truly felt himself protected by the youngest mber of the family…
The other children of the Shen Family harbored similar thoughts.
Each gazing at Qingwu’s radiant figure was unable to suppress their tears.
Li Zhu took Qingwu’s hand from Pei Jue’s grasp.
With a smile, he said, “Let borrow her for a mont.”
“Don’t forget to return her.”
Li Zhu led Qingwu by the hand to the center of the runway, where starlight-effect lighting converged and spilled gloriously onto her dress, dazzling everyone present!
The crowd was speechless in awe!
Li Zhu’s eyes were full of affection.
“This gown may symbolize Qingwu’s first love, but it’s also my star!”
To everyone at Beidou Star, Qingwu is their guiding star!
She was the one who bravely dismantled Beidou Star, bringing everyone out with her—like a beam of light breaking through their lives, shedding starlight amidst the darkness!
Qingwu’s eyes dampened slightly.
Li Zhu stepped forward and gently embraced her.
“Be happy, or your teacher will make sure whoever wrongs you will pay and take you away from here!”
“Don’t worry, no one can ever wrong . And my teacher should trust my judgnt.”
She wouldn’t choose the wrong person, nor would she trust the wrong one!
At the entrance of the runway, looking at Li Zhu hugging the wedding-gowned Qingwu, Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun stopped in their tracks.
Their daughter—she was the best daughter in the world!
Ju Ming, sitting in the audience, reached up to touch her face.
At so point, she realized… she’d been crying!
She rembered how she had once spoken recklessly in front of Qingwu, declaring that only soone as noble and elegant as Master Ye Yi was worthy of Pei Jue!
Now, she simply wished she could find a block of tofu to smash her head against!
…
At Leisure Inn, nestled within the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Towers.
The venue was festively decorated in every corner. The Shen and Pei Families invited only their close acquaintances for the engagent ceremony.
Pei Clan’s distant relatives had been rcilessly shipped off to lta Prison by Pei Jue to feed the fishes.
Those present were all individuals who had no involvent in past affairs and stood by Elder Pei’s side.
Elder Pei was in poor health—this engagent, in na, was essentially a family gathering!
Early that morning, Elder Shen had driven himself to the cetery accompanied by Old Zhou.
Seated before Lin Huazhen’s tombstone, Elder Shen bent down personally to wipe it clean.
Old Zhou, worried, said, “Old Chief, Madam’s tombstone is wiped daily by others—you don’t have to do it yourself, or your back will ache again!”
“It’s fine. I wanted to do this last ti, but I was afraid Qingwu and the others would feel embarrassed seeing !”
After working for a while, Elder Shen looked at the photo on the tombstone.
“Huazhen, Qingwu and Pei Jue are getting engaged. I chose Pei Jue myself; I wonder if you’d think I made the wrong choice?”
Old Zhou chuckled, “How could she think that? Look at the wife you picked for Shen Dongli—hasn’t she turned out great?”
Zuo Wanjun was indeed an excellent daughter-in-law, excelling as a spouse, mother, and family mber.
“Huazhen, Qingwu’s doing well now, so don’t worry anymore! As for the other children you haven’t had the chance to et—they’re doing wonderfully too!”
After chatting with Lin Huazhen for a while, Elder Shen took out a family photo from his pocket and placed it on the tombstone.
Old Zhou was astonished. “This photo—how co it includes Elder Zuo and Madam Tu, but not you?”
Even Elder Pei and Madam Pei were in it!
Only Elder Shen was missing!
“No, this is a joyous day. She’d find it unlucky to see today! As for forgiveness, whether or not she forgives … after a few years, when I follow her, she’ll let know then!”
“Old Chief, don’t say such things!”
Elder Shen waved his hand. “Let’s go back ho!”
