Chapter 1260: Chapter 395: Protecting, One Family_4

If Sir Hu had been willing to show weakness, to admit his daughter was at fault first, and to accept Mo Yan’s proposal, this matter could have been glossed over. However, given the disgraceful actions of his family previously, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to swallow his pride and bow to the Mo Family.

In the end, Sir Hu, without even saying goodbye and with a somber expression, led his reluctant wife, daughter, and a group of servants away from the Mo Family home amid the awkward stares of the onlookers.

This interlude came to an end with the departure of the Hu family members. The other guests, as if nothing had happened, crowded around Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou to offer their congratulations.

Seeing the couple surrounded and worried about missing the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony, Mo Yan was about to step forward to remind them when she caught sight of Xin Er standing at the courtyard entrance. She quickly went over to check her hands, and seeing that her palms and wrists were swollen, she felt extremely distressed, "No matter how angry you are, a few slaps would have been enough. Now you’ve hurt yourself."

Seeing that her sister’s first reaction wasn’t to blame her for impulsively hitting someone but to be concerned about her hand, Xin Er, who had been humiliated, did not cry. Yet, a caring word from her sister made her eyes damp, "Sis, it... it doesn’t hurt. Really, it really doesn’t hurt!"

Mo Yan gently patted her sister, feigning anger, "It’s swollen like this and you say it doesn’t hurt? Nonsense! I have some ointment for bruises here, I’ll rub it on you later."

"Sis—sob—" Xin Er hugged her sister and cried uncontrollably. How lucky she was to have such a wonderful sister, who always forgave and understood her, no matter what she did wrong.

Even Mo Yan couldn’t help but feel her eyes well up. She blinked away the moisture forming at the corners of her eyes and joked while patting her sister’s back, "There, there, stop crying. If you keep it up, people are going to laugh at you."

Xin Er, embarrassed, let go of her sister and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Her gaze moved to the woman standing next to her father in the middle of the courtyard, "Sis, we have a mother now." We have a mother to protect us now, no one will laugh at us for being children raised without a mother again.

Mo Yan felt a gentle stir in her heart, knowing that Xin Er had fully accepted Aunt Cui. She smiled and stroked her sister’s head, encouraging her, "If Aunt Cui hears you say that, she’ll be very happy."

Hearing this, Xin Er hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to walk towards the center of the courtyard. Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, she hugged Cui Qingrou.

Mo Yan didn’t know what Xin Er said, but she saw Cui Qingrou visibly stunned for a moment. Then, she reached out her arms and held Xin Er tightly, and Mo Yan could vaguely hear an excited choking sound coming from beneath the bridal veil.

This heartwarming scene touched countless people present. Zhenzhen, eager to join in the excitement, squeezed past Mo Qingze and hugged Xin Er and Cui Qingrou, loudly calling out, "Mother."

The members of the Cui family, who had come to see off the bride, were moved to tears by this display and were genuinely happy for their aunt. They also began to regard the Mo Family siblings as their cousins from the bottom of their hearts.

The mother and her two children hugged each other, crying and laughing, leaving Mo Qingze awkwardly on the outside. Fortunately, the matchmaker intervened in time, urging them to proceed with the ceremony or else they would miss the auspicious time.

"Dad, what are you standing around for? My mother is under the bridal veil. If you don’t lead her, what if she trips?" Xin Er, dissatisfied, glared at her immobile father, then took both her father and mother’s hands and joined them together.

Amidst the teasing cheers of the crowd, Mo Qingze, his handsome face flushed red, led Cui Qingrou, who was under the veil and equally red-faced, step by step towards the wedding hall...
