The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 214 - 218: Angel in the Mortal World (8)

Madam An had prepared herself to appease Xiao Li, but when she actually faced Xiao Li’s rude tone on the phone, she was still infuriated.

She had really thought Xiao Li was a docile and gentle good girl; it turned out that her previous demeanor in front of her was all an act.

Madam An was so angry she could hardly stand it. She determined in her heart that after the matter was settled today, she must vehemently complain about it to her son.

No daughter-in-law dared to raise their voice to their mother-in-law.

Madam An had been waiting anxiously at the door, not daring to leave. When the wedding emcee came over to ask several times, she still hadn’t seen a trace of Su Li.

At this point, her anxiety was driving her to the brink of madness; she didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if today’s bride also did not appear—how the An Family would end this debacle.

She figured she might even be too embarrassed to step outside her door from now on.

"Where is the bride? Haven’t you contacted her yet? Why hasn’t she arrived?" An Pei had been waiting inside for a long while. When the guests suddenly started whispering among themselves, he got a bad feeling and hurried out.

Madam An, who had been waiting all afternoon, was on the verge of exploding. An Pei’s question was the last straw that set off the extreme anger she had been holding back.

Madam An ripped off the corsage from her chest and threw it on the ground, "Nag, nag, nag, if you’re so capable, go contact Su Li or the Su Family yourself! Why do you make me handle everything..."

Madam An’s shrill scream seemed to set off an explosion in An Pei’s head.

His wife’s mention of the Su Family made him realize, for the first time, something very important that he had overlooked.

Now that the wedding was about to begin, not a single friend or relative from the Su Family had arrived.

In the circle, customers who had cooperation with the Su Family and close business partners were also nowhere to be seen. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

An Pei had previously thought they would come later, but now the time stated on the wedding invitations for the banquet to start was approaching. If they really were coming to attend, they couldn’t afford to be this late.

Just as An Pei’s mind was churning with shock, a few groups of people started leaving the banquet hall.

The strange and peculiar looks on their faces when they saw An Pei were hard to ignore.

Seeing them, An Pei realized that these were a few of the An Family’s business clients in the market, but these people actually had closer ties to the Su Family. If it were not for the good relations between the An Family and the Su Family all this time, these people might not have been inclined to cooperate with the An Family.

An Pei valued these clients quite a bit.

Seeing them walking out, he quickly straightened his expression and warmly greeted them with a smile.

"President Wang, why are you coming out? The wedding banquet is about to start..."

The man addressed by An Pei as President Wang forced a smile, tugged his face into a semblance of friendliness, and nodded lightly, "I have something urgent that I need to take care of immediately, so I’ll be leaving first."

"Yes, so do we."

These few people couldn’t even be bothered to come up with a decent excuse, casually saying they had to leave. Anyone with a bit of sense would know that these were just made-up reasons.

They didn’t have urgent matters early or late, but at this critical moment, they proposed to leave.

An Pei immediately thought that it must be some old trickster from the Su Family behind this.

An Pei was still thinking of a way to retain them when a red sports car screeched to a stop in front of them.

A pair of shapely legs emerged from the vehicle.

All eyes at the door were drawn to the striking beauty and the luxury car.

President Wang and his companions reacted quicker than An Pei and Madam An.

Unlike his cold demeanor towards An Pei just a moment ago, President Wang walked briskly towards the woman who had just gotten out of the car, dressed in a silver evening gown, with a kind smile.

"Niece, he’s hosting a banquet at Wanyuan and invited a few of us old friends to gather. Why have you come here again?"

Hearing the implication in President Wang’s words, An Pei’s thoughts also shifted. Thankfully, he still had his wits about him. Even though his face was burning red with anger, he did not lose his composure entirely. He managed to suppress the fury of Madam An beside him, preventing her from causing a scene.

Su Li, seeing that it was Uncle Wang who had a relatively good relationship with her father, also smiled, "You go ahead Uncle, I will come over once I have dealt with the matter here."

President Wang, with a meaningful look, glanced at the An couple not far away, "That’s true, if there’s anything you need help with later, just let us uncles know..."

An Pei’s heart skipped a beat, and his previous bad premonitions were fully confirmed.

The attitudes of these people were also a direct reflection of the attitude of the Su couple.

If Su Li...

An Pei, with his hands behind his back, quickly pinched the fatty flesh on Madam An’s waist, lowering his voice, "Later, you must soothe Su Li until she softens her heart. Otherwise, our family is finished, understand?"

Seeing Madam An’s eyes filled with dislike and anger as she glanced at Su Li, An Pei directly threatened, "If you mess this up, our marriage is over too, just deal with it yourself."

Madam An’s head snapped up, ready to make a fuss again, but the moment she met her husband’s serious and cold gaze, her arrogance extinguished immediately, her heart filled with dread.

He was serious...

"I got it."

Su Li had long since noticed the anxious An couple waiting nearby, but, with malice, she slowly engaged in conversation with several uncles, making the couple wait even longer.

This couple was no good either.

In her previous life, the original owner had suffered quite a bit at the hands of these two.

Finally, as pleasantries were exchanged, An Pei subtly nudged Madam An.

Madam An: "Xiao Li, let’s hurry inside, the wedding is about to start."

Su Li walked straight inside, but asked with feigned confusion, "The wedding is starting? Without a groom, do you plan to have me marry myself?"

Madam An’s throat choked up, and she spoke sheepishly, "It’s all An Yingming’s fault, that boy. When he encountered trouble, he didn’t even discuss it properly with us and just disappeared. When he returns, I’m going to bash his head in... But for now, Su Li, we ask for your understanding..."

"Can you, could you please explain to the guests, and once Yingming is back, mom and dad will prepare an even grander wedding for you two."

Su Li: "Heh."

"Where’s the face?"

Madam An, confused, asked back, "What do you mean?"

Su Li, staring at her high heels, walked quickly. In just a moment, she had left the An couple far behind.

An Pei frowned and interjected, "Su Li, shouldn’t you change into a different outfit?"

The daughter-in-law of the An Family, when appearing in public, should at least maintain a dignified and graceful appearance.

Su Li’s gown, revealing a large area of her back, showed off beautiful lines and curves.

It looked good, but it was quite inappropriate.

Su Li didn’t even turn her head, simply throwing back a comment, "You sure have a lot of nerve, acting like you’re my parents? My own parents have never said there’s anything inappropriate about what I wear."
