“Tingfeng, Youlin, thank you for today. We would have been overwhelmed with so many guests if you weren’t here,” Jiang Wenfang said with relief and gratitude. She had walked around the entire banquet hall before she walked back to Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng.
Ling Ran, who was standing not far from Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng, almost spat blood when he heard this! He was the one who was helping, okay? Didn’t she see that all the people who wanted to toast the groom at the party were heading his way?”
‘Just because I am the groom’s best man, doesn’t mean you can neglect my contribution! This is differential treatment!’
Zhao Youlin did not think Jiang Wenfang said anything wrong, as she humbly replied, “You are too polite, Aunt Wenfang. It is the least we could do.”
Ling Ran was speechless. ‘How could you accept her thanks so naturally and brazenly? Did you even think about how I feel about this?’
Jiang Wenfang smiled and sat opposite of Zhao Youlin. She turned around and
took a look at the lively banquet. Then, she lamented, “I can still remember
when Xiao QQ was born. She was so tiny. When I was holding her, I was afraid
that I would break her. Xiao Qi’s dad didn’t really dare to hold her in his arms at
first. Every time I put her in his arms, he would turm into a sculpture. It feels
like yesterday. And that tiny baby back then was actually getting married. It
just feels like it happened in a blink of an eye. It all happened so soon..
As Jiang Wenfang said, she turned around and glanced at Mu Tingfeng. She
smiled and said, “Tingfeng too. He was so tiny back then, and now he is
married and has his own kid. Time flies. Your uncle and 1, and your parents, are
all old now. We are old.”
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng could hear a little sense of loss hidden in Jiang
Wenfang’s words. They exchanged glances with each other. When they were
about to say something to console her, they suddenly heard a clamor from
outside.
“What is going on?” Zhao Youlin raised her brows and asked in a low voice.
Mu Tingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the door. “It seems that someone
is here.”
Jiang Wenfang looked at the tumultuous crowd in the hall. This scene
somehow seemed a little familiar to her. Then, as if she had remembered
something, her expression changed slightly, and she murmured in a low voice.
“Judging by the crowd’s reaction.Could it be him?
“Him” Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other. They saw some
doubt and surprise in each other’s eyes.
The Su family had invited so many famous people from different industries
today. Every guest here could make an impact in Shalnork, and even Zelford.
However, it was precisely because there were too many big shots here, those
who always attracted attention herever they went now seemed obscure
among the crowd.
In short, the people who were called big shots outside, were just a mere
presentable guest in this place.
Hence, if one could cause such commotion by just showing up, he was either
too ugly to look at, or he must be the ultimate big boss who was much more
Superior to everyone in the hall!
With that thought on their mind, Zhao Youlin exchanged a furtive glance with
Mu Tingfeng. Together, they turned their heads to look at the entrance of the
hall.
The culprit that started the commotion did not keep Zhao Youlin and others
waiting long. A few seconds later, a figure just crashed into the eyes of the
crowd.
It was a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his early forties. He was
wearing a black Tang-style suit. The gentle smile on his face made him look
approachable. Even his eyes that usually seemed overly harsh were now
softened a little.
When the crowd in the hall saw that, they all heaved a sigh of relief. That man
seemed to be in a good mood today, which meant their day would not turn bad.
However, when Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng saw this man, they instinctively
felt their hair standing up. They shuddered as they felt a chill climb directly
from their back to the back of their heads.
“Who is he? Zhao Youlin turned around and asked Jiang Wenfang. She pursed
her lips and suppressed the chill she felt.
When Jiang Wenfang was about to answer her question, she noticed that the
man had entered the hall. She thought about it for a second and decided to
introduce the mysterious guest to them directly.
“Come with me.”
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng hesitated for a moment before she got up and
went toward that man with Jiang Wenfang
Lu, it’s been so long. I didn’t expect that you would come to Xiao Qi’s wedding
We are so glad to see you here.” Jiang Wenfang greeted the middle-aged man
with a smile on her face and embraced him.
At that moment, Su Liqiang had also walked to their side together with Ye Yan
When he saw his wife hugging another man, he actually did not show any
upset expression. No one knew if he really did not mind because he was close
with this man, or if he just did not dare to show that he was upset.
Lu Xiangtian smiled and hugged Jiang Wenfang back. “How can I not come to
your precious daughter’s wedding?’ Speaking of which, it has really been a long
time since I last saw you
Jiang Wenfang let go of Lu Xiangtian. She smiled and complained, “That’s
right. You have left the country for four years. It’s been two years since we last
met. If it wasn’t for Xiao Qj’s wedding, I’m afraid you would’ve forgotten about
us already, wouldn’t you?
The smile on Lu Xiangtian’s face remained unchanged as he subtly changed the
subject. “How is the old man doing?”
Upon hearing that, Su Liqiang took a step forward and subtly pulled Jiang
Wenfang behind him. “My dad is doing great. He was just talking about you not
long ago. He missed you. We have a lot of people coming over today. My dad
thinks it was too noisy, so he went back to his room to rest. If you want to see
him, Ill send someone to ask him to come down.”
“That’s fine. Ill just go up there to see him.” As Lu Xiangtian said that, he
imperceptibly glanced at Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng, who were standing
next to Jiang Wenfang. He took the initiative to ask, “And they are.
Jiang Wenfang took the opportunity to pull Ye Yan to her side, as she smiled
and said, “This is my son-in-law, Ye Yan, who is also the groom today. Ye Yan,
this is Lu Xiangtian, Mr. Lu.”
Jiang Wenfang gave Ye Yan a wink. He understood immediately. He took a step
forward and greeted him with a smile, “Hi, Mr. Lu, thank you for coming to
Xiao Qi and my wedding today.”
Lu Xiangtian looked Ye Yan up and down before he nodded in satisfaction.
“Very nice. He seems like a handsome and outstanding man. He must be a great
man with a promising future. Xiao QÜ’s taste is as good as her parents’ indeed.”
Jiang Wenfang’s expression stiffened slightly at Lu Xiangtian’s compliment.
Instead of responding to Lu Xiangtian’s compliment, she pulled Zhao Youlin
and Mu Tingfeng to the front and introduced them to Lu Xiangtian. “They are
the son and daughter-in-law of Liqiang’s cousin. Youlin, Tingfeng, say hi
now.
However, at that moment, Zhao Youlin’s attention was not on Jiang Wenfang
and Lu Xiangtian, but on the girl who was standing behind Lu Xiangtian..
