Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 312 - 325: Wedding Reception

Su Xingyu was a bit troubled by this issue too.

Everything else was manageable, but when walking the red carpet, it’s the bride’s father or brother who needs to hand her over to the groom, so who should play this role?

Su Zhongxiao was naturally out of the question. Their ties had long been severed, and she didn’t plan to send an invitation to that family to avoid creating trouble at the wedding. But she had no other male relatives left; her grandfather died when she was very young, and so did her uncle. The Mu Family wasn’t a large clan, with no other relatives to call upon.

Torn over this issue, she had been a bit absent-minded these past few days.

Lu Shifeng asked her what was wrong?

She told him about this troublesome matter.

Without thinking, he said, "Don’t worry, leave it to me."

Su Xingyu looked up at him, "You? Shifeng, make sure you understand this: we need someone from the bride’s side, not the groom’s. No one from the Lu Family or those remotely related to the Lu Family counts." She was genuinely worried that this socially inept boss might inadvertently find someone from the groom’s side to walk her down the red carpet, which would be too embarrassing.

Lu Shifeng lowered his head slightly to look at her, "Don’t trust me?"

The slightly hoarse and dangerous tone instantly frightened the "little white rabbit," who trembled and said, "No, absolutely not."

The boss was satisfied and left.

The "little white rabbit" was still nervously uneasy, but no matter how she tried to subtly probe in the following days, the boss kept his lips sealed and wouldn’t reveal half a word.

The "little white rabbit" was about to cry and called the old lady to confide, "Grandma... do you think he’ll let me down?"

The old lady laughed on the other end of the line, "Don’t worry, there’s never been anything Shifeng can’t handle when he dares to take it on. As for you, keep your mood light during this time, get more sleep, do some beauty treatments, and be a beautiful bride when the time comes." She also sent her usual housekeeper to take care of her from the old house.

Su Xingyu was taken aback by the attention and was too embarrassed to dwell on the issue of the bride’s kin anymore, obediently resting and maintaining her beauty routine.

The wedding day soon arrived.

As the almanac promised, it was a particularly good day with clear skies, bright sunshine, and a gentle breeze.

Su Xingyu wore a white wedding dress, layers of lace like piled snow, her exquisite attire making her look like an elf from a dream, pure and flawless, unaffected by the slightest speck of dust. She stood next to Lu Shifeng, like a little bird relying on people. He wore a well-tailored formal suit, looking especially tall and handsome today, with a rare smile on his sculpted face, just right, attracting the attention of numerous female guests coming and going.

The two of them greeted guests at the entrance of an estate owned by Lu Shifeng at the wedding venue.

Many important figures usually only seen in the news entered with invitations, smiling as they congratulated them, truly a match made in heaven.

They returned the greetings with smiles.

The distinguished guests streamed in.

In the distance, another car stopped by the road, and several well-dressed men and women approached them with invitations.

In the lead was a middle-aged man in a deep black custom suit, his graying hair neatly combed, with reserved eyes looking at Lu Shifeng, his expression complex, with admiration, displeasure, frustration, and pain. He said to Lu Shifeng in a deep voice, "Congratulations."

But he didn’t spare even a glance at Su Xingyu standing beside him. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The other guests nearby, even the bridesmaids and groomsmen beside the newlyweds, all looked over curiously.

Su Xingyu furrowed her brow slightly, trying hard to control her expression and not show any sign of displeasure.

Beside her, Lu Shifeng had already spoken, "Thank you, Mr. Zhuang."

The person who came was Zhuang Yao, the current head of Zhuang’s Cosmetics, now over sixty.

Zhuang Yao had three sons but only one daughter, Zhuang Heng, whom he had late in life. She was cherished and raised with lavish care, educated in arts and literature, with the hope that she would become the world’s most noble princess and marry into the most prestigious family, being adored by her prince for life.

Originally, Zhuang Yao and the entire Zhuang Family thought that Zhuang Heng’s destined prince was the man standing before them, Lu Shifeng.

It wasn’t until recently, when Lu Shifeng announced his marriage to Su Xingyu, that they realized, in his eyes, Zhuang Heng was nothing.

This was akin to a loud slap in the face for the entire Zhuang Family.

At the wedding site, so many guests pointed and commented, all waiting to see the Zhuang Family’s embarrassment.

But the Zhuang Family still came, Zhuang Yao, Mrs. Zhuang, Zhuang Heng’s brothers, and... Zhuang Heng herself.

Su Xingyu’s gaze fell beyond the grave-looking Zhuang Yao to Zhuang Heng following behind. Having not seen her for a few days, Zhuang Heng seemed to have lost some weight, her complexion a bit pale, meticulously covered with foundation. However, her spirit seemed fine, dressed in an asymmetrical pearl-embellished gown, standing steadily, with a very calm look towards Su Xingyu and Lu Shifeng.

"Shifeng, I never thought we’d meet like this one day," Zhuang Heng said softly.

Lu Shifeng replied, "I would definitely invite you to my wedding, and I expect you’ll do the same for yours, so there’s nothing unexpected here."

Zhuang Heng bit her lip in embarrassment, glancing at Su Xingyu beside him. No matter how jealous she was, she had to admit that the girl named Su Xingyu was truly beautiful today, her magnificent wedding dress accentuating her as if she were from Cloud, pure and dreamy, as if no speck of dirt could taint her.

Zhuang Heng’s heart ached deeply.

Her father, Zhuang Yao, also looked at Su Xingyu with a heavy gaze, admonishing like an elder, "Not everyone can marry into the Lu Family, Miss Su, you really have great courage."

The words were ambiguous, and with so many people present, Su Xingyu didn’t bother to tangle with them, saying only, "Please take your seats, there are still guests behind you."

Zhuang Yao snorted and said to Zhuang Heng, "Let’s go in."

Zhuang Heng glanced at Su Xingyu again, then at her bridesmaids. She saw six bridesmaids in light rose dresses surrounding her, each a socialite from a prestigious family, including Lu Shifeng’s cousin, the eldest young lady from Emperor the Pei Family, girls from Du Shuxian’s family, and more, all of notable status. Zhuang Heng couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She had figured Lu Shifeng would help find her prestigious bridesmaids, but when faced with the blunt reality, it was still heart-wrenching.

But... ha, if bridesmaids can be found, can someone to walk the bride down the red carpet be "found" too? She didn’t believe it!

When the time comes, if the bride lacks a respectable elder, it will be Su Xingyu who will be embarrassed!

With that thought, Zhuang Heng lifted her head and walked into the ceremony area with her family.

Only then did Su Xingyu silently breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, she wasn’t afraid of any other guests this time, only dreading what Zhuang Heng’s family might do if they caused any trouble.

Luckily, it went relatively smoothly.

Once again, she stood at the entrance with Lu Shifeng for a while; after finishing with the guests, the wedding was about to officially begin.
