“My name is Yu Anning, the sister of Lu Ziqun’s scumbag ex-husband. You’re quite nice too.” Yu Anning also extended her hand, and the two smiled at each other.

Dong Siyue and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yu Anning wasn't petty. No wonder Lu Ziqun maintained contact with her former sister-in-law even after the divorce, and their relationship was still quite good.

"Yingzi, do you know that Uncle Qingqing is Secretary Sang?" Lu Ziqun asked curiously.

“Yes, I know. I knew Qingqing before I went to university. Secretary Sang is Qingqing’s cousin. But Qingqing’s achievements are all due to her own hard work. She never talks about these things outside,” Ruan Yingzi said.

Fearing that others might think Ye Qingqing got to where she is today through connections, she added, "Qingqing has actually been through a lot. Don't be fooled by her always smiling face; she's been through far more than any of us."

Lu Ziqun and the others were quite curious. What could possibly happen to Ye Qingqing? She came from a good family, had a capable childhood sweetheart, got married right after graduation and became a CEO's wife, living a life of luxury. She was beautiful and capable. It was hard to imagine what kind of trouble she could have gone through.

Sang Huaiyuan on the stage was no different from ten years ago; he was still gentle and refined, but he had gained more authority as a leader. Thanks to Ye Qingqing's medicine, he was now in better physical condition than a young man, and his mind was also very sharp. Pingjiang City's progress in recent years had attracted worldwide attention. Sang Huaiyuan had already received notice that he would be handing over his work after the New Year.

"Good evening, everyone. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding banquet of Ye Tong and Zhu Tiantian. Today, I stand here with mixed feelings, a mix of happiness and melancholy. Although I am Xiaotong's uncle, we only recognized each other fifteen years ago. Before that, I had never known about the existence of the siblings. Due to some historical reasons, our family was torn apart and we were separated for more than ten years."

Sang Huaiyuan spoke slowly, and the audience was completely silent. Everyone knew what historical reasons he was referring to. It was said that Sang Huaiyuan was from the Sang family back then, and of course, they were a key target in that era. It was a miracle that he survived.

"My cousin, Ye Mingcheng, is also the father of Qingqing and her brother. He lost his memory due to an injury and only reunited with us fourteen years ago. The process was very complicated. Although Xiaotong is now a world champion, he is different from normal children because of a difficult childbirth. His sister, Qingqing, takes care of him."

We elders weren't involved in this process, nor could we undo the hardships they endured in their youth. This is a regret for our family. Now, both siblings have found loving partners, and I am very gratified. I wish them both eternal happiness!

On stage, Ye Tong and Tian Tian bowed to Sang Huaiyuan, while Ye Qingqing below the stage wiped her eyes, almost crying.

She never expected this day to come. Before, she only thought about making more money to save for Xiaotong, so that Xiaotong would have no worries about food and clothing. But now this is the best.

Ye Qingqing smiled through her tears, regretting that her mother couldn't see it. If she were still alive, she would be sitting in the main seat now, receiving bows from the newlyweds.

Sang Huaiyuan didn't say much. He hugged the newlyweds and then went downstairs. Next, the groom, Ye Tong, gave a speech. He was not good with words and was very nervous, but he insisted on speaking.

After a long pause, Ye Tong finally spoke, "I... the person I want to thank the most is my older sister. I can't remember what my mother looks like. She left me when I was born. My sister is like my mother. I love her very much. In my heart, my sister is the most important person. No one can replace her!"

Hearing Ye Tong's hesitant words, Ye Qingqing could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. Lu Mo took a tissue and wiped away her tears.
