Mr. Mo said calmly, “These are all Fang Xi’s relatives. As they are all her family, let them sit together with Yun Innovation’s people. Lu Hui, look after them. This is Fang Xi’s mother, Ms. Xi Yue.”

A little surprised at his decision, Lu Hui subconsciously moved to push her glasses up the bridge of her nose. It was only when her fingers met empty space that she remembered she was wearing contacts today. She asked nervously, “T-then—then…”

Mr. Mo’s tone harshened slightly, “Enough! Just stay by Ms. Xi Yue’s side and make sure they dine and wine to their heart’s content. There’s no need to introduce their identities to the public. Just treat them as your company’s members. Your entire company is Fang Xi’s family, after all.”

Lu Hui nodded hastily. “Oh, okay. Got it!”

Xi Yue was extremely aggrieved. “Am I really so shameful? Why can’t you let people know I’m Fang Xi’s mother?”

Mr. Mo glanced at her indifferently as he replied, “What was it that you said when she invited you? But now that she has the obligatory set of elders for her wedding, you show up to mess things up again? Xi Yue, either do as I say or leave this place immediately!”

Anna hurriedly tugged Xi Yue’s sleeve. “Ma, let’s listen to Mr. Mo.” Mr. Mo’s gaze paused on Anna’s small movement.

Xi Yue let out an unhappy “hmph” sound and uttered, “Ok! Fine! So be it! It can’t be helped since I’m unqualified to be her mother!” She turned to look at Lu Hui and immediately gave her her signature smile. “Young lady, I wasn’t lying, was I? I am Fang Xi’s bona fide mother. Please take us to the wedding ceremony! Thank you! Auntie will treat you to a meal after the wedding!”

Lu Hui looked towards Mr. Mo for help. Seeing Mr. Mo’s impassive face, Lu Hui had no choice but to straighten her back, professionally sweep her arm out, and say, “This way, please!”

Lu Hui led the group silently into the venue from the side. Liang Han came over to Mr. Mo and chuckled, “Mr. Mo, what was that all about?”

Mr. Mo sighed resignedly, “Nothing good, I’m afraid!” He raised his hand to rub his brows and said, “Don’t worry. They won’t dare to ruin the wedding. However, I’m afraid there’ll be trouble for Fang Xi again after this.”

Liang Han chortled, “That’s Ye Kun’s problem then! Don’t worry, Mr. Mo. Ye Kun isn’t someone to be trifled with, either. He would walk through fire and rain for Fang Xi. Nothing’s too big a deal for him.”

Mr. Mo was amused by his words. “Why do I feel like you’re gloating?”

Liang Han unabashedly admitted, “Oh, you can tell? It’s only because I’m jealous, really. Us buddies, we came into this world on the same day—there’s only about a couple of hours’ difference between us. Now, my two brothers-in-arms are marrying the women of their dreams in grand style, and I’m still a single bachelor. What gives? That’s why I can’t wait for life to throw them some lemons, hmph!”

Liang Han laughed out loud, bright and sunny, when he finished. Mr. Mo stared at him with admiration. ‘This young man,’ he thought, ‘who’s frank, open-minded and wears his heart on his sleeves, is also astute and decisive in the business world, having inherited his father and brother’s talent. And in life, he treats his buddies sincerely and with all his heart.’

Liang Han’s high-spirited character often reminded Mr. Mo of his youth. On the one hand, it had Mr. Mo bemoaning his old age, and on the other hand, he was gratified to see these youngsters continue the youth of the older generations.

Today, the main table was occupied by Gu Bei and his wife, Mr. Mo, Shi Kong, and Shi Yun and his wife—the Shi family all present save Shi Ke and his wife. On the Ye family’s side, there were Lu Ying and her son, Ye Tang, as well as a Ye family elder.

The bridal family’s side was made up entirely of the people from Yun Innovations. And the most special guests sitting close to them were the four members of the Yun family. Shi Xiu accompanied them and had a great time chatting with Yun Zhang. The two even had the intention for a preliminary cooperation.

Yun Xiang and Gu Wei felt both pleased and sad. What made them sad was that they, as Yun Nan’s parents, could be sitting at the main table, but had instead ended up with the guests today. What pleased them was that his son now had a much closer relationship with the Shi family than before, and the Shi family didn’t have the slightest intention of making things difficult for them. They were glad to see Yun Zhang finally come into his own as he would be the one holding up the Yun family in the future.

Looking at a resplendent Yun Nan, they felt extremely bitter. If they had come to their senses earlier, what glory this dazzling daughter of theirs would have brought them! But now, Yun Xiang and Gu Wei were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to make up for the rift between them and Yun Nan in their lifetimes. ‘At least, Yun Nan had left a place for us at her wedding,’ they thought.

Yun Liu wished she could disappear from this place in a cloud of smoke. ‘Yun Zhang’s doing this on purpose!’ Yun Liu inwardly seethe. ‘He’s deliberately letting me witness Shi Nian and Yun Nan getting married with my own eyes and watch their wedding’s entire process. He’s doing this to make my heart twist and bleed in jealousy, so I’ll give up on Shi Nian in heartbreak!’

Yun Liu recalled Yun Zhang’s mocking words from before: “The rumors you created previously will only be dispelled by you attending Yun Nan and Shi Nian’s wedding as my fiancée! What, don’t you want a clean and innocent reputation, O’ Future Best Actress?”
