At twenty-one years old, Jiang Wanning ...
Li Yixuan raised an eyebrow.
Lu Hong explained, “I’m a photographer, and my main job is to photograph people. I’ve been living abroad for a while. I see that you really like wearing Hanfu, and it suits you very well. I’ve never seen a man who looks better in Hanfu than you. If you went out abroad wearing something like this, you would definitely attract attention. If you agree, I would like to ask you to be my model and take a series of photos with the theme of Hanfu, and then submit them for exhibition to promote our culture and let China influence the world.”
More and more young people are wearing Hanfu now, which allows the world to see diverse Chinese elements.
Li Yixuan nodded: "That sounds pretty good, I can consider it."
Lu Hong took out her business card: "This is my business card. If you agree, please remember to contact me."
Li Yixuan accepted the business card and then returned one to Lu Hong.
"This is my business card."
"Thanks."
Li Yixuan put the business card away and politely said goodbye: "My teacher is over there, I need to go see him. Talk to you later."
"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Li."
Lu Hong carefully put the business card away, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The wedding is considered complete once the rings are exchanged and the bride is kissed.
Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan both prefer simplicity, so they skipped the later steps.
As for publicly sharing their emotional journey and discussing the course of their love, Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan both refused.
It's good that the couple knows this.
So, the next step is for the bride to throw her bouquet.
Jiang Wanning stood with her back to everyone, casually tossing her bouquet, which flew in an arc towards Lu Hong.
Lu Hong was about to take a picture when she noticed the bouquet flying towards her out of the corner of her eye, and she instinctively reached out to catch it.
Someone who knew Lu Hong laughed and said, "Congratulations, Miss Lu. I bet you're the next one with good news coming up."
Lu Hong smiled, remaining expressionless.
Putting aside her entanglement with Fu Chenyuan, Lu Hong is actually quite outstanding.
She's figured it out now; she's decisive and efficient, without getting entangled or dragging things out.
"Thank you for your kind words." Lu Hong didn't mention that she wouldn't get married in the future.
Yes, Fu Chenyuan was the person she had liked for over a decade, but so what? He still became someone else's husband.
Fu Chenyuan held Jiang Wanning's hand, their fingers intertwined tightly, and led her to meet Fu's relatives.
After acquainting with the Fu family's relatives, one becomes a relative of the woman's family.
Xu Ying was very thoughtful; she sat at the table with the female guests.
The bride's family doesn't have many relatives, and Xia Rushan is still recovering, but she should be able to finish the wedding today.
It was only in this setting that Jiang Wanning truly felt like she was married.
Jiang Wanning wanted to introduce Xu Ying to them.
"Teacher Xu, my parents are over there, and I'd like you to meet them."
"Okay, Xiao Ning, lead the way."
Xu Ying looked at Jiang Wanning and liked her more and more, as if she were marrying off her own daughter.
At this moment, Xia Rushan was surrounded by the other wives.
“Ms. Xia, we actually crossed paths three years ago. You designed this piece of jewelry for me, do you remember?” The lady was wearing a beautiful necklace; the design from three years ago was still fashionable and timeless.
In addition to running the company with Jiang Xinkai, Xia Rushan is also a jewelry designer.
She is not very prolific; she may only design one or two styles a year.
Xu Ying watched Xia Rushan's retreating figure, then suddenly stopped, her heart pounding.
Jiang Wanning asked softly, "Teacher Xu, what's wrong?"
Xu Ying didn't understand what was wrong with her either; her heart was just beating too fast and somewhat out of control.
Xia Rushan's figure is very similar to her mother's when she was young.
As they approached, Jiang Wanning greeted the ladies and said to Xia Rushan, "Mom, this is Teacher Xu. I will be studying with Teacher Xu for a while."
Xia Rushan turned around, and Xu Ying stared blankly at her. Tears suddenly fell, startling everyone.
"Hello, Ms. Xu, I am Xia Rushan, Xiao Ning's mother. I'm entrusting my daughter to you."
Xu Ying quickly wiped away her tears; how could she shed tears at someone else's wedding?
She said apologetically, "Yes, I'm sorry, it's just that seeing you is like seeing my mother."
Why is the surname Xia?
Xu Ying's mind works very quickly.
She didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Xiao Ning, could you tell Chen Yuan that I'd like to speak with your mother alone? You two can come along too."
Fu Chenyuan was not far away, and upon seeing this, he strode over.
Li Yixuan had been watching the scene closely, so he followed along.
After the wedding, the rest of the time was free time.
The guests attending the wedding were all taken care of by dedicated staff and were arranged to be perfectly attentive.
Fu Chenyuan had someone lead them to a room and close the door.
Jiang Xinkai helped Xia Rushan sit down on the sofa.
Xu Ying's eyes welled up with tears.
"Ms. Xia, are your parents still alive?"
Xia Rushan shook her head: "They have all passed away."
Xu Ying took out her phone and opened a photo album: "You look a lot like my mom. Jiaojiao, you must be Jiaojiao, right? Jiaojiao is my sister. After Mom and Dad divorced, one of us stayed with Dad and the other with Mom. Although I don't know why you later took the surname Xia, I'm sure you are my sister."
The group took the phone and looked at it again and again. Xia Rushan looked very much like the woman in the photo.
“This is my mother. Of the two of us sisters, you look most like her, especially your eyebrows and eyes. I never imagined that you would look even more like Mom as you grow up.”
Xia Rushan felt a headache whenever she saw Xia Ying, and some scenes seemed to flash through her memory.
Someone held her in their arms, covered her ears, comforted her, and wiped away her tears.
"Don't cry, Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, your sister will protect you."
Fu Chenyuan then spoke up: "Mom, why don't you and Teacher Xu get a blood relationship test done? It can be done in three hours with expedited service."
Xu Ying nodded tearfully, "Yes, Jiaojiao, let's get a DNA test done. I won't make a mistake. I liked Xiao Ning very much when I first met her. Xiao Ning's eyes and eyebrows look like yours, and seeing her felt like seeing an old friend. Later, when I asked her, she said your surname was Xia, which didn't match up, so I gave up hope. But when I saw you in person, I realized that you look seven or eight parts like Mom. I won't make a mistake."
Fu Chenyuan arranged for people to collect the materials and send them to the hospital immediately.
Jiang Wanning was also shocked by the news.
"Teacher Xu."
"Will you still call me Teacher Xu? You should call me Auntie. As for Yixuan, he's like my son. You'll have another older brother from now on. If Shenyuan bullies you in the future, you'll have an older brother now."
Jiang Wanning was very happy.
She felt the kinship that she had never experienced in the Zhao family.
Jiang Wanning then playfully said, "A Yuan, did you hear that? I have an older brother now, so you can't bully me."
