Chapter 1647: Epilogue (20)
“Desperate times call for desperate measures. I know that you love and protect your daughter. If I hadn’t done this, you would have never agreed. And we would have spent a few days trying to make things look good for our children, but we don’t have time now. I really do apologize for lying, but I meant what I said today.”
After she had said this, Li Shu looked at them steadily.
Once again, she was full of manly spirit and tenacity.
Looking at how she was, Si Jingyu now fell silent and did not speak further.
Everyone’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to s.h.i.+ Jinyan, waiting for the head of the family to make his decision.
He looked at Li Shu and pursed his lips. After a moment, he said, “We don’t have to worry about using the Royal Family Hotel. We’ll find a better place.”
At once, Li Shu was moved beyond words.
She nodded at s.h.i.+ Jinyan with restraint and respect. She then looked ay Si Jingyu and said, “Jingyu, I won’t say more. I will get going now to make preparations. We’ll talk more after the children’s wedding.”
Si Jingyu nodded as Li Shu turned to leave. Before walking away, she reached out for s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s hand and reminded the woman, “Remember the wedding photoshoot is this afternoon.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao nodded obediently and said, “Yes, I will, Aunty.”
Li Shu gave her a few glances and smiled as she walked out.
Everyone in the living room was still stunned long after she had left.
They were quiet for ten full minutes before Si Jingyu finally broke the silence and spoke, “So we’ve agreed just like that? To marry off our daughter within seven days? Aren’t we being a little casual about this?”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan frowned and replied, “We’ve given our word, so we should abide by it. Let’s not think about it anymore. We have to marry off our daughter in seven days, it’s going to be busy! All of you, put everything else aside and focus your energy on Nianyao’s wedding. There must be no mistakes.”
“Understood.”
Everyone replied in unison.

Li Shu returned home in a hustle and, by now, Mo Xicheng had already been waiting anxiously at the door for a long time.
When he saw Li Shu’s car in the distance, he immediately went out to greet her. He said as she was getting out of the car, “Mom—”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Shu smiled and said, “It’s all been settled, hurry up and prepare for your wedding. We will be very busy in the next few days!”
His eyes shone with delight when he heard this.
Li Shu suddenly felt a great joy well up within her when she looked at the overjoyed Mo Xicheng.
This was the first thing she had ever done for her son.
In the future, there would be a second time, and then a third.
She would use the rest of her life to make up for all the lost years and all that she owed Mo Xicheng.
Perhaps, this was the only reason she had to continue living.
–
The following days were as busy as they could be.
Mo Xicheng announced his wedding through various channels.
At once, it seemed like everyone was wailing.
It was bad enough that Best Actor Shen had gotten married, and now even Mo Xicheng was taken.
In the entertainment circle, it was very unlikely that people their age got married.
However, even though some people could not get past it, others were most supportive.
Overnight, the internet was full of different opinions and disagreements regarding Mo Xicheng’s wedding.
Everyone was busy except s.h.i.+ Nianyao, who was quietly waiting to be the bride. On that particular day, a WeChat message notification came in. It was a message from Pu Yun which said: [“What do you think of our idol’s wedding?”]
