Fu Chenyuan's eyes were so tender they seemed to drown you: "I won't give him that chance."

Jiang Wanning blushed when she met everyone's teasing gazes.

Three hours later, the results came out: Xia Rushan and Xu Ying were indeed biological sisters.

Xu Ying and Xia Rushan, these two sisters, reunited and had so much to talk about.

Jiang Wanning did not leave, but stayed with them.

Fu Chenyuan handled the guests outside.

She brought tea and snacks to Xia Rushan and Xu Ying, then leaned obediently against Xia Rushan, blinking her eyes as she stared at them, ready to listen to a story.

Xu Ying affectionately pinched Jiang Wanning's nose: "Aren't you going out to toast the guests as the bride? There are so many people outside. Only Shen Yuan spoils you."

Jiang Wanning smiled happily: "I don't like those kinds of occasions. Ayuan said it's okay, and he'll let me stay with you. He was worried you'd cry too much, so he said that having me here would at least cheer you up a bit, right? Auntie, why haven't you been able to contact Mom?"

Xia Rushan brought up her past.

Jiang Wanning's heart tightened. She hadn't expected that Xia Rushan's past was also unhappy; she had actually been sold to the Xia family.

After hearing Xia Rushan's account, Xu Ying was furious.

"I never imagined that scumbag would do something like this! He actually sold you out! Back then, Mom couldn't live with him anymore and wanted a divorce. She originally wanted to fight for custody of both of us, but the judge awarded custody to each of us. Mom was thinking of suing again. She was determined to get custody of you back, and if that didn't work, she would negotiate with that scumbag. But he went and asked for an exorbitant amount, demanding five million. At that time, all the money in the house, including all the money Mom had earned over the years, had been lost to him. Where was she going to come up with five million?"

Mom worked hard to earn money, but she missed you terribly and couldn't stop worrying about you. She contacted that scumbag, but he wouldn't let her see you. He said he'd only meet you and take you away when she had five million yuan ready. Mom secretly went to see you, but he found out. He moved and blocked her contact information.

My mother couldn't do anything but paint. But to earn money, she did almost every job she could. She worked part-time during the day and painted frantically at home at night, selling her paintings even for a few hundred dollars if someone offered. Many of her paintings were sold at rock-bottom prices. Later, people recognized their value and offered higher prices, and her reputation grew. Two years later, my mother had saved five million dollars. She was overjoyed, thinking she could finally get you back, but that scumbag just found a random young girl to trick her and steal the money. My mother realized something was wrong; that wasn't her sister. Finally, the scumbag admitted he had lost you. This blow caused my mother to fall seriously ill.

Once she recovered, she started searching for you all over the world. But in the past two years, she had completely ruined her health. After that illness, her health never recovered. Ten years later, I was just twenty years old, still in university, and I lost my mother.

Xu Ying's face was filled with sorrow, and her eyes were brimming with tears. Xia Rushan and Jiang Wanning also felt a lump in their throats as they listened.

"Before she passed away that day, Mom's biggest worry was still you. She said that not finding you would be her lifelong heartache. It was her fault. If she hadn't misjudged people, if she had cut her losses in time and not had any expectations of men, perhaps she wouldn't have given birth to you and made you suffer. Or, if she hadn't been foolishly kept in the dark, if she had transferred her assets in advance and divorced that scumbag, she could have kept both of her daughters by her side..."

Seeing that Xia Rushan was in tears, Xu Ying quickly comforted her, "Today is Xiao Ning's wedding, I shouldn't have said these things. Little sister, don't cry. I think it must be Mom's spirit in heaven protecting us, allowing us sisters to meet and recognize each other. Besides, I have such a good niece as Xiao Ning."

Xia Rushan calmed down.

Xu Ying held Xia Rushan's hand tightly, saying, "Xiao Ning, don't stay here with me. Today is your and Shen Yuan's special day; Shen Yuan should have made arrangements. I'll stay with your mother. I'll take good care of her."

Xia Rushan blushed slightly and called out to Xu Ying, "Sister."

In that instant, those hazy memories of her older sister that she used to have seemed to return.

After confirming that the two were alright, Jiang Wanning went out to find Fu Chenyuan.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Fu Chenyuan standing in the corridor.

Jiang Wanning couldn't help but smile with surprise: "A-Yuan, what brings you here?"

Fu Chenyuan stared at her intently: "I'll wait for you."

"Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived."

In fact, Fu Chenyuan left after entertaining those people.

He extended his hand to Jiang Wanning: "Have they recognized each other?"

"Hmm. Ayuan, do you believe in fate? At this moment, I suddenly do. If I hadn't met you, I might not have been able to meet Teacher Xu, oh no, my aunt, and then my aunt wouldn't have been able to reunite with my mother. So I do have a grandmother too. My grandmother misses my mother so much. When we come back from our honeymoon, I want to go with you and my mother to offer incense to my grandmother."

"Yes, that's natural. And you're wrong about one thing, honey. Even without me, I believe your aunt would definitely have noticed you. Your talent is there, and eventually everyone will see it. At that time, honey, will you dislike me for having no talent, and that I have no other abilities besides making money?"

Jiang Wanning burst out laughing: "A Yuan, are you in Versailles? Please, money is an irreplaceable power."

Fu Chenyuan seemed comforted and quickly kissed Jiang Wanning on the cheek.

Jiang Wanning covered her face, her cheeks slightly red.

Fu Chenyuan led her to the dressing room and handed Jiang Wanning the bag he had prepared beforehand.

"Put this outfit on first."

Fu Chenyuan led Jiang Wanning to the dressing room.

Jiang Wanning didn't ask why, but obediently did as she was told.

She came out after changing her clothes and found that Fu Chenyuan had also changed his clothes.

Jiang Wanning was wearing a bohemian-style halter dress with the hem reaching mid-calf, giving it a very vacation-like feel.

Fu Chenyuan was also dressed casually, in a floral shirt and floral shorts.

Fu Chenyuan somehow managed to exude an air of nobility in clothes that are so selective in their selection.

This is clearly not a toasting outfit, so they don't need to go and offer toasts.

Jiang Wanning asked curiously, "A-Yuan, should we sneak away?"

When she said those words, Jiang Wanning's eyes clearly showed an eager expression.

It's just like a well-behaved child who has always followed the rules, suddenly being led to do something bad, feeling both scared and excited.

Looking at Jiang Wanning like this, Fu Chenyuan felt a pang of heartache.

I guess Jiang Wanning wasn't allowed to be herself when she was in the Zhao family?

She never rebelled, nor did she unleash her true nature.

Fu Chenyuan walked over and took Jiang Wanning's hand, his smile deepening: "Yes, you're right. Let's go now."
