In the 80s, a scumbag father brings his mistress into the house, lives in his ex-wife's home, sleeps in her bed, and even abuses his ex-wife's children!
Then, Yao Shu, specifically in...
Chapter 428 Crying So Hard
If Yao Shula were an ordinary orphan, and the wedding wasn't a big affair, people would think that the Lei family didn't approve of their eldest grandson's wife, and that it was Lei Jingwu's fault for marrying her into the family.
But Yao Shula, the owner of a super-rich female household, decided to have a small wedding, and... well, a great scholar naturally defended her.
"Shura has political acumen. Look at Keigo's father's status. If he were to host such a large gathering, how many things would people use against him? How many people would try to exploit this loophole!"
"Exactly. They have so much money, they don't care about such a small amount of money as a gift. They can afford to have a big celebration, but they choose to keep a low profile. That's what you call a big picture."
"Who says otherwise! If it were a normal family's child, they would have made a huge fuss! Look how calm Shura is. Her relatives and friends just get together for a meal, and that's enough. Why show off your family's celebration to others!"
“This future sister-in-law did a great job. I looked at the guest list, and she invited everyone who was supposed to be invited, but not a single unrelated person.”
This woman is amazing!
...
Yao Shula didn't care what others thought; she just wanted to save herself trouble.
Given the Lei family's connections, if everyone were invited, the toasting ceremony alone on the wedding day would exhaust Yao Shula.
So, Yao Shula's idea is to keep it as simple as possible!
If it weren't for Grandpa Lei's firm opposition, Yao Shula would have loved to have a destination wedding with Lei Jingwu; that would have been so much easier!
...
Yao Shula is getting married, and the date she chose is Labor Day. Although Yao Shuli is in Hong Kong, it's not too far away, so he can still come back.
Yao Shuxin really had no choice. The round trip took too long, and the current situation was very strict, so Yao Shuxin probably wouldn't be able to come back.
However, Yao Shuxin still asked her mentor for leave, telling him that her older sister, who had raised her, was getting married and she had to go back.
Having experienced firsthand what it means for an elder sister to be like a mother, the foreign mentor thought for a moment and then granted Yao Shuxin a week's leave.
People also came from Yun County.
Grandma Yao, along with Zhong Xiaochun, Yao Chunian, Miao Yamin, and Zhou Pingan, also came.
Only Uncle Shu and his wife came from Uncle Shu's side. They came as relatives representing Yao Shula's mother's family.
Lei Jingwu booked a hotel, and all the guests from out of town stayed at that hotel.
Since the people from Yun County arrived, Yao Shula has entrusted all matters related to the wedding to Lei Jingwu, and she has focused on taking her hometown people shopping in Shanghai.
...
After arriving in Shanghai, Grandma Yao realized that Yao Shula's words on the phone that they were doing well in Shanghai were not just to comfort them.
"The courtyard where Shura and the others live is a place that many people in Shanghai cannot afford to live in."
"It's a two-story house with its own courtyard, in a good location, quiet, and very comfortable to live in!" Yao Chunian said with a look of satisfaction.
She knew that her cousin was so smart that she could do well no matter where she was.
"Yes! And that clothing store next door is doing good business too! It's such a big store, and the clothes they sell are things that the department store in Yunxian County has never had before."
"Those sales assistants in that store...everyone who went in had a smile on their face, unlike the sales clerks in our department stores back home, they all have such sullen faces, like people aren't paying for their purchases." Zhong Xiaochun sighed.
Miao Yamin, however, thought it was normal.
The clothes in Shura's clothing store look very expensive. Who wouldn't greet someone who buys such expensive clothes with a smile?
Grandma Yao was completely relieved.
Sure enough, this granddaughter can live a good life no matter where she is, so she doesn't need to worry.
"Keep all of this in mind. When you go back, no matter who asks you, you should know to say what you should say and not say what you shouldn't say."
Especially those specific details, don't tell others, such as where you live or what kind of things you do at your shop.
"Not everyone is without bad intentions!" Grandma Yao added a word of caution.
Miao Yamin and the others quickly agreed.
Many people wanted to come to the house, but Grandma Yao carefully selected a few talented individuals to attend.
...
As April drew to a close, Yao Shula and Lei Jingwu picked up Yao Shuxin from the airport.
Another day passed, and Yao Shuli returned, and everyone was temporarily reunited.
On the morning of May 1st, the sun shone brightly.
Yao Shula had already changed into her wedding dress and was sitting in her room waiting.
Although Grandma Yao always thought that wearing white clothes for a wedding wasn't very good, she was still so happy that she cried when Yao Shula put on her wedding dress.
My eldest granddaughter is finally getting married, and the person she's chosen is definitely not bad.
She looked at herself in the mirror and could hardly recognize herself.
This is her first time getting married in two lifetimes!
Although...but...I'm still a little nervous.
Soon, firecrackers went off in front of Yao Shula's house. Yao Shula looked down and saw a long line of cars blocking the road in front of the yard.
Xiao Tiantian, who seemed to have grown taller again, was blocking the entrance to the courtyard with Yao Shuli and several of Yao Shuli's classmates.
That posture... gave off a feeling of one man holding off ten thousand.
Lei Jingwu, also dressed in a custom-made suit, was cornered at the courtyard gate by Xiao Tiantian, accompanied by Gu Changqin and several other groomsmen.
Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli dragged stools and blocked the doorway.
"Give me the red envelope!" Xiao Tiantian stretched out his hand with a serious expression.
Having anticipated that Xiao Tiantian would lead the blockade, Lei Jingwu quickly took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them to Xiao Tiantian.
Xiao Tiantian handed it to Yao Shuli without even looking at it.
"Keep these, give them all to my older sister later." After saying that, Xiao Tiantian stretched out her hand to Lei Jingwu again.
"Not enough! Get more!" Xiao Tiantian still looked serious.
Lei Jingwu had no choice but to take out another stack of red envelopes.
Xiao Tiantian was handed over to Yao Shuli without even being looked at.
"Give it to my older sister later! If you take out another one, you think you can marry my older sister with this little red envelope? Dream on!" Xiao Tiantian still stretched out her hand towards Lei Jingwu.
This happened several times, and everyone around them couldn't stop laughing.
"Tian Tian, so you're from my family!"
Little Tian snorted and continued to reach out for a red envelope.
Only after Xiao Tiantian had finally taken all the red envelopes from Lei Jingwu did she reluctantly get up and make way.
Just as Lei Jingwu was carrying Yao Shula out to put her in the car, Xiao Tiantian suddenly started crying, and cried very loudly.
"My eldest sister is getting married, and I don't want her to get married! Why does it have to be my eldest brother who's marrying her!"
Waaaaah! Big sister, if your brother-in-law ever bullies you in the future, you absolutely have to tell me!
Waaaaah! Why do we have to get married?! Isn't it better not to get married?! I'm not getting married anymore, I just want to be a good younger brother to my older sister!
"Waaaah, brother-in-law, what are you laughing at? You're not getting a brother like me anymore!"
Little Tiantian cried very, very hard...
