Chapter 401 - "How is Third Sister related to Li Miaomiao?" (1)
Finally, Shu Yan pulled out pictures of herself with the children, pictures of her in the process of losing weight, and some recent photos before Lin Zixiang believed that Shu Yan was really her daughter.
Lin Zixiang chuckled embarrassingly. “You’ve changed so much. If you have done so sooner, Ye Zhiqiang would not have divorced you.”
“Mom, I have become lighter and dressed differently but my features,” said Shu Yan as she pointed at her features, “had always been like this. I have never had procedures done to my eyes and nose. How is it that you only remember what I look like 2 years ago?”
Her words stunned everyone, including Shu Jianyang. They really didn’t seem to recall what Shu Yan used to look like. How else would they not recognize her?
Old Mrs. Shu cleared her throat and yelled at Lin Zixiang. “She would never have met someone as nice as Yu had she not gotten a divorce. If you don’t have anything good to say then don’t say anything.” She turned and smiled at Feng Zeyu, “This is Shu Yan’s mother. She is never one who’s good with words. Don’t mind her.”
“Hi Uncle and Aunty, I am Feng Zeyu, the one that Shu Yan is seeing right now.” Feng Zeyu, who hadn’t said a word up to this point introduced himself.
Shu Youfu and Lin Zixiang both checked out Feng Zeyu at the same time. He wasn’t as good looking as Ye Zhiqiang, he was dressed as stylist as Ye Zhiqiang. He just didn’t look like someone wealthy. Why would Shu Yan be with someone like him?
Was he just after Shu Yan’s money?
Lin Zixiang was just about to say something when Shu Yan narrowed her eyes and interrupted her. “I recall that we have just signed a contract not too long ago. You better stay out of my business.”
Recalling the money and grains that they were promised each year, the two quickly shut their mouths.
“Hi, I am Yanyan’s mother. I am not good with words. How are you liking City Xi so far? The food is different from where you are from, eh?”
“It’s fine. I am not a picky eater,” said Feng Zeyu with a smile.
That is just human nature. The more filial the children are to their parents, the less the parents care for them; the more they shout at them, they better they are to them. Take Shu Yan as an example, now that she barely cared about them, they no longer dare to try things with her and were fawning over her.
“Yanyan, Mom and Dad had never stayed in a hotel ever! It must be nice staying here, right?”
The subtext was that they wanted to stay in the hotel! Shu Yan gave them a look and pretended that she didn’t get that. She said to Shu Jianyang, “Third Brother, how’s the preparation coming along on your end?”
“We are pretty much done and are about to go and pick up the bride,” said Shu Jianyang cheerfully.
It was customary in City Xi to have another female, in addition to the best man, to go with the groom to pick up the bride. Usually this female would the groom’s sister or cousin and must be someone who was single. Someone who had been divorced like Shu Yan would not only not be picked, but they wouldn’t even want her anywhere close. They worry about the bad luck that she would bring with her.
They didn’t want Shu Yan anywhere near and Shu Yan was just glad to not have to worry.
The bribe was brought to the hotel in bustling noises and Shu Yan was finally able to see her Third Sister. She was very pretty and had a very bright smile.
She had what was now the trendiest western style wedding ceremony and the two exchanged their wedding bands and kissed in front of everyone.
They toasted to everyone and, when they came around to Shu Yan, the bribe had a surprised look on her when she saw Shu Yan.
Shu Yan was sure they had never met before but the bribe’s eyes and look told her that she knew her.
Shu Yan took a look at Shu Jianyang and said many congratulatory words. The bride turned her head. Between the way they looked at each other, Shu Yan suddenly felt that the woman looked familiar but she couldn’t recall who she was. Perhaps they h assistant director met each other in the past or that original owner had seen her before but just not that memorable?
