Chapter 679: 677, Wedding (Part 5)
Ma Jincai looked at the nearly half-empty banquet hall, his heart filled with mixed feelings. Although he wanted to go to the Li Family to see the situation, he had previously threatened Li Zhijun and now to go there brazen-faced was something he couldn’t bring himself to do.
He sulkily sat down and picked up the wine cup from the table, taking several big swigs. This incident wouldn’t have occurred if he hadn’t used the Ma Family’s influence to bully the Li Family. He could only hope that Li Zhijun wouldn’t hold a grudge against him.
Ma Jinbao shook his head and sighed, turning to the others, "Maybe we should change locations." Now that the Li Family had the support of the Lu Family, it wouldn’t be long before they soared to great heights; it was better for them to avoid clashing with them.
"No! I won’t change," the bride Ji Tingting objected. Sky Beyond Sky Restaurant was the best place in Lin City, and she refused to switch. If she changed now, what would her friends think of her?
Ma Junfei was also very reluctant to change locations. He looked at Yan Liming, "Third Brother, isn’t the Yan Family on par with the Lu Family?" They were only one rank behind; was there really that much of a difference?
Yan Liming sneered, "That’s just how outsiders see it. Let’s switch. It’s better for you, as well as for the Yan Family." If the Lu Family wanted to take action against the Yan Family, they wouldn’t even need to expend much effort.
Ma Jinbao and Ma Jincai exchanged glances and said in unison, "Let’s switch!"
Ji Tingting reluctantly turned to Ma Junfei, and as Ma Junfei shook his head helplessly, she turned her gaze to Yan Liming.
"Stop looking. The decision is made," Yan Liming said firmly. He couldn’t afford to gamble!
The Li Family members were unaware of the decision made by the Ma Family and Yan Liming.
Everyone was happily eating and drinking, the host and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves!
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo returned to their guest house, and just after taking a bath and getting ready to rest, someone knocked on the door.
Lu Hanmo walked over to open it and saw Li Hui and Meng Yujuan standing outside.
"Come in!" Lu Hanmo invited them in, knowing why they had come.
Li Hui and Meng Yujuan entered the room and closed the door behind them.
"Brother Lu! We really can’t thank you enough for this time!" Li Hui gratefully looked at Lu Hanmo.
"I haven’t done much," Lu Hanmo said, shaking his head lightly.
"Brother Lu! I will keep this favor in my heart, and if there’s ever a need for Li Hui’s assistance, I will not hesitate," Li Hui assured Lu Hanmo earnestly. Even if Lu Hanmo had done nothing, his mere presence, the significance it represented, was extraordinary. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for both the Li and Wu Families.
"You came just to say this?" Luo Shu raised her eyebrow and asked.
"Yes!" Li Hui and Meng Yujuan nodded.
"Well, now that it’s been said, shouldn’t you go back to sleep? Or do you plan to get married tomorrow with dark circles under your eyes?" Luo Shu teased. It made her happy to see that the Li and Wu Families could change because of this incident. Meng Yujuan was her friend, and naturally, she hoped her friend would have a good life. For a woman, being accepted by her husband and his family was a kind of happiness.
After sending Li Hui and Meng Yujuan off, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo went into their space to cultivate. As seen with the twins born to Luo Qianyu and Yang Muxue, cultivation was greatly beneficial to the child in the womb.
The night passed without incident, and the next morning, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo had just come out of their space when they heard a "knock, knock, knock!" at the door.
As they opened the door, they saw Wang Fei and the others standing outside with smiling faces.
"Luo Shu, let’s go to Yujuan’s room," Xiao Yan said. Upon waking up, they had first visited Yujuan’s room and found her already dressed in her wedding attire with Li Yuan preparing her makeup tools to help her with makeup.
Luo Shu turned to Lu Hanmo, who smiled slightly, "I will drink tea in the room, just be careful." As a man, he naturally couldn’t go to the bride’s room.
"Then, I’ll come to call you in a bit," Luo Shu smiled and nodded, then followed everyone to Meng Yujuan’s room.
The room was full of people.
Meng Yujuan’s mother, Big aunt, and two aunts-in-law, were discussing some of the things that needed to be paid attention to during the wedding ceremony. These traditions were passed down from the older generations, and they naturally followed them.
Meng Yujuan sat on the bed while Li Yuan was applying makeup on her. Perhaps because she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep, there were faint dark circles under her eyes.
Behind Meng Yujuan, seven or eight red and green quilts were stacked together. Next to the quilts, there were several red lacquered trays filled with peanuts, red dates, longans, lotus seeds, along with pig’s thighs, fish, and steamed cakes symbolizing the continuation of progeny, the birth of sons, abundance every year, joy, and prosperity.
In addition to these, there stood red lacquered washbasins, foot basins, chamber pots, and camphorwood chests. All these were part of the bride’s dowry.
Under Li Yuan’s skilled hands, Meng Yujuan, who was already very beautiful, became even more dazzling to the point where it was hard to take one’s eyes off her.
"Yujuan, you are so beautiful! Li Hui will be spellbound when he sees you later."
"Indeed! If I hadn’t watched the process myself, I as her mother would hardly recognize her."
"No wonder people always say that a girl is the most beautiful on her wedding day."
With everyone saying this, Meng Yujuan shyly lowered her head. She fully trusted Li Yuan’s makeup skills, because she had also helped her with makeup for her wedding photos with Li Hui. The last time she saw herself in the mirror, she could hardly believe it was her.
While they were chatting, firecrackers sounded from outside.
"The groom has arrived! Quick, cover Yujuan with the bridal veil, and is the glutinous rice ball ready? The bride and groom need to eat it later," Big aunt hurriedly asked the third and fourth aunts overseeing these preparations.
Suddenly, everyone in the room began to bustle about.
Upon hearing the firecrackers, Meng Yujuan’s mother immediately teared up, turned around, and wiped her eyes. From today on, her daughter would belong to another family, and her heart was full of reluctance.
