After the witness finished reading the wedding speech, he announced the ceremony was over. Yue Feiying and Qi Shengzhi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were about to go to the back to rest, but were stopped by Qi Mingyuan.

On the first day as a new bride, Yue Feiying stayed for the sake of face, and even pulled Qi Shengzhi along, calling out sweetly:

"dad!"

Qi Mingyuan suddenly smiled happily, grinning and agreeing readily, while Yue Jialiang's face next to him instantly turned as black as coal, with an expression of being suffocated.

Yue Feiying saw that she was the only one shouting, but Qi Shengzhi was like a piece of wood and didn't react at all. She immediately felt that she was at a disadvantage. How could this be allowed?!

She secretly exerted force on the fingertips of her hand that were holding his arm, causing Qi Shengzhi's peach blossom eyes to suddenly open. He immediately turned his head to look at her with watery eyes, his eyes filled with anger and questioning:???

Yue Feiying smiled sweetly at him calmly, her pearly teeth parted slightly:

"Call for help!"

Qi Shengzhi's eyes widened, and Yue Feiying's eyes were even wider than his. The warning in her eyes was self-evident - we agreed to put on a full show, so what if I asked you to call me dad and I called you dad?

In the end, Qi Shengzhi was defeated. He glanced at Qi Mingyuan, who was looking expectant, unwillingly. The next second, he turned around and shouted to Yue Jialiang, who was also looking dejected:

"dad......"

Qi Mingyuan's smile froze on his face instantly, and Yue Jialiang became happy instead, and responded repeatedly:

"Oh, my good son-in-law!"

Fortunately, Qi Mingyuan was already used to Qi Shengzhi making trouble for him, and his performance at the wedding today was quite decent. He didn't want to argue too much with Qi Shengzhi in front of his new daughter-in-law.

Qi Mingyuan suppressed his unhappiness, put on a kind smile and said to Yue Feiying:

"Feiying, you've married into our Qi family and become their daughter-in-law. As your father-in-law, I'm very happy. I've specially prepared something for you."

As he spoke, he took out a small and exquisite royal blue brocade jewelry box from the inner pocket of his coat with great solemnity.

After taking out the jewelry box, Qi Mingyuan's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sense of loneliness. He ran his finger along the edge of the already somewhat worn jewelry box and said with a nostalgic smile:

"This is also a gift from Shengzhi's mother to her daughter-in-law."

Qi Shengzhi's pupils dilated instantly, and he stared intently at Qi Mingyuan opening the jewelry box. Inside the velvet jewelry box was a cluster of lily of the valley printed with gold lacquer, and the word "Si" was printed under the flowers.

From childhood to adulthood, Qi Shengzhi rarely heard Qi Mingyuan mention his mother, and had never seen many of his mother's relics.

When he was young and ignorant, he had naively believed that Qu Jingyun, who took care of him and smiled at him, was his mother. So when Qi Mingyuan asked him if he would like Qu Jingyun to be his mother, he nodded happily, thinking that he finally had a mother. Little did he know that the result was that he was inviting a wolf into the house...

Qi Shengzhi shook his head, put all the unpleasant memories behind him, and focused all his attention on the jade ring lying quietly in the jewelry box.

The ring is translucent and lustrous all over, and the degree of emerald green definitely exceeds the standard of imperial green. The most rare thing is that its edge is dotted with a few scattered snowflakes, carved into the shape of lily of the valley flowers by the skillful sculptor, and the green part is also carved with delicate branches and leaves. The whole ring is as lively as a bunch of lily of the valley bouquet wrapped around the finger.

The past twenty years have not taken away any of its luster. It is still as bright and shiny as if it was just picked yesterday. One glance at it allows people to imagine what its original owner looked like.

It may not be expensive, but judging by how much Qi Mingyuan cherishes it, this small ring definitely weighs more than any other piece of jewelry in his mind.

And this ring means more than anything else to Qi Shengzhi.

Qi Shengzhi tried hard to hide his inner excitement, but even his breathing became rapid. Although he pretended to be calm, Yue Feiying, who was holding his arm, was keenly aware that his body was beginning to heat up, and the desire for the ring was evident in her eyes.

She thought about it and reached out to take the jewelry box from Qi Mingyuan's hand - since Qi Shengzhi wanted it, she would give it to him as a favor. After all, it is important to have a good relationship with the "partner".

"Thank you, Dad..."

But before she could finish her words, the jewelry box in front of her was slammed shut with a "snap" and then grabbed by a pair of hands with red nails.

Yue Feiying looked up in confusion, and saw a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup wearing a tight red cheongsam, a gold-threaded shawl draped over it, and a pair of high heels. She was clinging to Qi Mingyuan "softly and bonelessly", smiling and preparing to speak.

In just a second, Yue Feiying suddenly noticed that Qi Shengzhi's body beside her suddenly stiffened, his body temperature rose rapidly, and his neck turned red. This was a sign that he was about to go berserk!

She subconsciously pulled Qi Shengzhi closer, but heard the woman say with a charming smile:

"Old Qi, look at you! Feiying is the first daughter-in-law our family married, and you gave her such a small ring. If others saw it, they would think we don't value Feiying!"

"Come here, Feiying, this is a gift from mom!"

Qu Jingyun took out a pair of huge golden dragon and phoenix bracelets and put them on Yue Feiying's hands without saying a word.

Yue Feiying frowned slightly. She didn't like being pulled and tugged by strangers right away. Although she was given a gold bracelet, she knew it was hollow as soon as she put it on her hand - it looked thick, but she felt nothing when it was hanging on her hand!

But a fly's leg is also meat, so consider it as compensation for touching her hand without permission.

Yue Feiying raised the corner of her mouth and smiled sweetly at Qu Jingyun. The next second, she took the ring box back from her hand and said with a smile:

"Thank you Aunt Qu for the hollow gold bracelet. Domestic goldsmiths have excellent craftsmanship. Those abroad can only make solid bracelets. They can't make gold jewelry like this that looks large but uses very little. Aunt Qu really knows how to pick things out!"

"However, my father-in-law just said that this was a wedding gift from my mother-in-law. The fact that he has carefully preserved it for twenty years and it's still in such perfect condition shows how much he cherishes it. I will definitely treasure such a meaningful gift!"

Qu Jingyun was stunned. She never dreamed that Yue Feiying would be so shameless as to snatch the ring box back from her. She also didn't expect that she would be ridiculed by her after giving her the gold bracelet!

Her face flushed as she was about to lecture Yue Feiying for her rude behavior, but Qi Mingyuan glared at her, her heart skipping a beat and she immediately shut up.

Yue Feiying smiled disapprovingly. Did he really think she didn't do any background checks before getting married?

She bullied Qi Shengzhi and still dared to act like a loving mother in front of her, not to mention that she had deliberately withheld her betrothal gift before!

Anyone who dares to touch her man and money will be sworn enemies!
