Chapter 2009: Wedding (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The wedding was naturally very lively. Both families were influential families in City Z. With such a marriage, it was done quite grand, with many tables for the banquet at the hotel.
Dongfang Liuyun did not follow the fleet of cards to the church. Instead, she accompanied Dongfang Shuman at the Dongfang old resident.
The banquet was to startat seven in the evening. Dongfang Liuyun only rushed over at six in the evening from the Dongfang old residence to accompany Dongfang Shuman and Song Siting.
Song Siting was also dressed in a festive wine-red suit today. She looked quite energetic. After a period of rest, her body had recovered, and she looked much better than before.
Since Song Siting left the law firm, Dongfang Shuman’s att.i.tude toward her had improved a lot. At least, she did not treat her with disdain and lectures whenever they met. Now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could actually have conversations with each other.
“After Rou’er and Ah Sheng’s wedding, Qi Lei and Liuyun’s wedding will be soon. You should be more attentive as a mother. Qi Lei doesn’t have a mother, and his father’s health isn’t good. Naturally, you should be more attentive. He’s your son-in-law. Don’t be so sullen when you see him every day.”
When they walked out of the house, Dongfang Shuman saw Song Siting and did not forget to remind her, “Don’t tell me you want me, as the grandmother, to help you with these things? Qi Lei’s father has been discharged from the hospital for a long time. As his mother-in-law, don’t you know to contact him and find an opportunity to meet him?”
“Grandmother, this was Qi Lei and my mistake. We should have made the arrangements. We wanted to wait for my father to return before we met up,” Dongfang Liuyun hurriedly explained.
“It has nothing to do with you. You need to understand etiquette. You can’t let others gossip about you. You’re just children. What can you understand? We elders need to communicate with you. Don’t be upset that grandmother is nagging, your every move will affect your reputation and family’s reputation in the future. These things may not seem important to you now, but when you’re older, you’ll know how to pursue these things. Your grandfather valued this before he died.”
Dongfang Shuman could not help but cough a few more times as she spoke. Dongfang Liuyun quickly went forward to support her and help her breathe easy. Seeing that she looked very pale, she thought of what her aunt, Dongfang Xue said last night and could not help but feel worried—
“We understand all of this. Grandmother, you don’t have to worry about this. How is your health? You seem to be quite weak recently. After Rou’er’s wedding, let the doctor give you a proper check-up.”
Dongfang Shuman coughed for a long time before she finally calmed down. She waved her hand. “The checkups all just say the same thing. I’m fine, I’ve just been a little tired recently. Plus, I’ve caught a cold, it’s getting slightly severe now, I am old after all.”
“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll take care of the children. I’ll send an invitation to the in-law soon. I’ll invite him to meet up and discuss the children’s wedding. Qi Lei’s betrothal gifts have been given long ago. This matter has dragged on for too long. It’s also because of Ah Gan’s unpredictable nature of work, Qi Lei was considerate of us, so…”
“It’s good that you think like that. Anyway, you have to be careful, now it’s not like before. With Ah Gan not around, you have to let him finish his work over there in peace.”
Dongfang Shuman took a deep breath and glanced at her.
“Yes, I understand.”
Song Siting’s tone was still quite humble.
“Missus! Elder Madam Dongfang, Lawyer Song!”
The few of them had just walked out of the door when w.a.n.g Chun and a few bodyguards in black who had been waiting in front of the door for a while came up to welcome them—
“Why are you here?”
Dongfang Liuyun was naturally a little surprised.
“Master specially asked me to come and pick all of you up.”
It was naturally Qi Lei who had specially instructed them. How could Qi Lei be at ease letting Dongfang Liuyun attend the banquet alone.
“Qi Lei?”
Dongfang Shuman paused in surprise and turned her gaze to look at Dongfang Liuyun.
“Yes, Elder Madam. Master is worried about Missus, so he specially instructed us. Please get in the car!”
w.a.n.g Chun took a step forward.
“If that’s the case, then it’s fine. I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip!”
Dongfang Shuman was straightforward. She sat in the car and Song Siting followed.
“Missus!”
Dongfang Liuyun was about to walk to the car when w.a.n.g Chun suddenly called out to her.
“What’s wrong?” Dongfang Liuyun asked with some doubt.
“Master has already asked us to bring the gift over. Missus, do you want to take a look?” w.a.n.g Chun asked for instructions.
Dongfang Liuyun waved her hand. Qi Lei was much more experienced in this aspect than she was. She did not have to worry about the things he prepared.
“No need, you guys just watch over it. Did he call you just now? I just called him and he did not pick up.”
Dongfang Liuyun frowned. She was unhappy that Qi lei did not pick up the phone in time.
“He’s probably busy. Master has already told us. Missus, please get in the car. It’s getting dark!”
As soon as w.a.n.g Chun finished speaking, Dongfang Liuyun took a look at the sky. Only then did she realize that the sky had already started to fall silent. The streetlights on both sides had already lit up. It should be starting soon over at the hotel!
“Okay, get in!”
Dongfang Liuyun then got in the car.
However, she still felt a little uneasy. This was the first time Qi Lei did not answer her call in time. In fact, it had been a few hours already. Usually, he would reply very quickly.
…
Inside Glory World Corporation’s chairman’s office.
“Master, Little Master is asleep. Why don’t we carry him back to the lounge to sleep first?”
Li Si could not help but suggest when he saw Mu Yuchen carrying the sleeping Mu Xiaocheng with one hand and flipping through the doc.u.ments with the other hand.
When he heard this, Mu Yuchen stopped what he was doing and looked down at his son who was already sleeping soundly in his arms. His handsome face quickly softened. “It’s fine. Your Missus will be here later. It’s already so late. You should go back first.”
Xi Xiaye had gone over to attend Dongfang Rou’er and Jin Sheng’s wedding. She had sent Mu Yuchen an invitation letter. Because of Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun, the few companies had an indirect partnership, so Mu Yuchen had no intentions of going over, Xi Xiaye could do it on his behalf. Of course, Mu Yuchen would have to watch their son then.
“I’d better wait for Missus to come back first. Oh, right, Master, I’ve already gotten them to prepare some supper. They’ll send it over directly in a while to prevent the Little Master from getting hungry when he wakes up. He didn’t eat much just now.”
Li Si was very concerned.
“Alright, go ahead and do your thing. He slept quite well. The little guy has a light sleep too. He’ll wake up with just a little movement,” Mu Yuchen said helplessly as he took his coat and put it on Mu Xiaocheng.
