Zhao Siyu followed at a distance, just to prevent Yu Jingming from getting involved with Li Yu.

Although they had been married for so many years, she knew very well that Yu Jingming still missed Li Yu and often read news reports related to her.

Li Yu is already three years old and still not married. Who knows, she might run into Jingming and try to seduce him.

The school leaders escorted Li Yuyu to the school gate.

"Alright, everyone, please go back now. There's no need to see us off any further," Li Yu said politely and appropriately.

Yu Jingming craned his neck and looked around, then said to the principal, "Principal, it's hard to get a taxi at this hour. How about I drive the school car and give Dr. Li a ride?"

The school leaders all glanced at him, thinking to themselves, "We can't let him deliver it, no matter who else is allowed to do it."

Li Yu took out her phone and glanced at it, saying, "No need, Da Ge is here to pick me up."

As soon as she finished speaking, a black sedan pulled up to the side of the road.

The car door opened, and a tall young man in his early thirties, dressed in a suit and exuding an outstanding aura, stepped out.

“Gongyu.” The man raised his hand and walked towards Li Gongyu.

Li Yu smiled and raised her hand in response.

The school leaders looked at the newcomer with shock, and extended their hands, saying, "Isn't this Dr. Huo?"

The person who came here is none other than Huo Zhongming, a fellow student of Li Yu, and also a renowned PhD in the field of chemistry.

He is also Li Guoyu's boyfriend of five years, with whom she is about to get married.

Huo Zhongming smiled and shook hands with each of the school leaders.

Yu Jingming looked at Huo Zhongming, who had come to pick up Li Yu, and felt a mix of emotions. He looked at Li Yu and asked, "Yu, you and Dr. Huo..."

Upon hearing Yu Jingming call out "Li Yu," Huo Zhongming frowned slightly, then reached out and put his arm around Li Yu's shoulder, asking, "Darling, who is this...?"

Li Guoyu: "This is my high school classmate, and also a teacher at this school."

"Darling," this way of addressing him makes it unnecessary to explain the relationship between Huo Zhongming and Li Yu.

"So you're my high school classmate from Yu-Ngok. Nice to meet you." Huo Zhongming smiled and extended his hand to Yu Jingming.

Yu Jingming looked at the other person's large, well-defined hands and reached out to shake them.

Zhao Siyu suddenly appeared from the side, her eyes filled with jealousy as she looked at the outstanding and handsome man next to Li Yu.

She believed that she was better than Li Yu in terms of family, and married Yu Jingming, a university teacher, and they had a son.

But she never expected that Li Yu, though unmarried, would have such an outstanding partner.

"Are you Li Yuyu's boyfriend?" Zhao Siyu asked Huo Zhongming.

Huo Zhongming frowned and nodded as he looked at the woman who suddenly appeared. "It is."

Zhao Siyu: "You don't know yet, do you? When Li Yu was in school, she dated a troublemaker in our class. She even ate some of their popsicles."

Li Yu looked speechless. "Zhao Siyu, it's been so many years, why haven't you changed your habit of spreading rumors?"

"Spreading rumors is illegal. If you really can't change, I'm not willing to send you to prison. You should change your ways." Li Yu said coldly to Zhao Siyu.

"After all these years, you haven't made any progress at all."

Zhao Siyu: "..."

Yu Jingming felt extremely embarrassed and glared at Zhao Siyu, saying, "Can you shut up? When did Li Yuyu ever date Zhang Tiejun? It's clear that Zhang Tiejun has been pursuing and pestering her all along."

Huo Zhongming laughed and said, "I really didn't know about this. But it seems that my girlfriend was already so outstanding when she was in school that she was admired and envied by everyone."

"Admiration" refers to a male classmate, while "jealousy" refers to the person in front of her.

Zhao Siyu stared wide-eyed at Huo Zhongming, not expecting him to be completely unimpressed.

"By the way, I'm getting married to Yu next month," Huo Zhongming said. "However, I won't be inviting you. Judging from your expressions, you probably won't genuinely wish us well."

Yu Jingming & Zhao Siyu: "..."

Is this how direct PhD students always are?

"Alright, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now. Our families are waiting for us to come back for dinner." Huo Zhongming nodded to the school leaders after saying this, then put his arm around Li Yu and walked towards the car, got in, and drove away.

A month later, Li Yuyu and Huo Zhongming's wedding was held as scheduled at the Jingdong Grand Hotel. The Huo family booked the entire Jingdong Grand Hotel for the wedding.

In the lounge, Li Yu, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, had just finished her makeup.

Wearing a white floral suit, a pearl necklace and pearl earrings, and with her hair styled in an updo, Li Yunshu walked into the lounge with a smile.

"Is your makeup done?" Li Yunshu walked behind her daughter and asked, looking at her daughter's beautiful features in the mirror.

In the mirror, 57-year-old Li Yunshu still doesn't look old. Her hair is black and shiny, and her cheeks are full, except for a few deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

"My daughter is so beautiful," Li Yunshu praised with a smile.

Li Yu touched her mother's hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't you know who I am? My mother is so beautiful, how could I not be?"

"You..."

"Ring ring ring ring ring..."

Li Yu's phone, which was on the dressing table, rang. She picked it up and saw, "It's my brother."

Li Yunshu: "Answer it quickly."

"Brother." Li Yu answered the phone, and Li Yunshu quickly put his ear to it as well.

"께野."

“Gyu, Mom.” Qin Ye’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother, you're so unfair! You couldn't even come back for my wedding," Li Yu complained.

Before Qin Ye could speak on the other end of the phone, Li Yunshu said, "Your brother is busy, doing research in another city, and can't come back."

Qin Ye, on the other end of the phone, smiled as he heard his mother's voice and looked at the endless yellow sand in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Yu, I can't come back for your wedding. But I've already sent the wedding gift back to you. I wish you a happy marriage and I wish you and Huo Zhongming a happy life together."

“If Huo Zhongming dares to bully you in the future, just tell me, and I’ll beat him up when I get back.”

Li Yuyu: "Thank you, brother, but if Huo Zhongming dares to bully me, I can beat him up myself. You don't need to do anything."

If her brother were to make a move, he could definitely cripple Huo Zhongming.

"Gongye, you need to take care of yourself in the Northwest. Don't stay up late, and make sure you eat three meals a day regularly," Li Yunshu reminded her over the phone.

Qin Ye: "I will tell Mom. You and Uncle Gu should also take care of yourselves and not overwork yourselves."

"Dr. Qin..."

On the other end of the phone, 놋그 called out to Qin Ye, and then Li Yunshu and 께Yu heard Qin Ye say, "께Yu, Mom, I have to go now, I'll hang up first, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Li Yu reluctantly hung up the phone.

"My brother is really too busy. We can't even talk for more than a few words when we make a phone call."

Li Yunshu sighed and said, "Yes, he's really too busy. He doesn't even have time to date."

"You're already married, and your brother doesn't even have a girlfriend. I really don't know when he'll get married?"

As a mother, Li Yunshu doesn't pressure her child to get married, but she still hopes that her child can get married, have children, and have a happy and fulfilling family life.

Li Yu nodded, finding it hard to imagine what kind of woman her brother would marry and start a family with.

The wedding ceremony began at 1:00 AM.

Holding her mother's hand, accompanied by the wedding march and surrounded by the blessings of family and friends, Li Yu gazed at the tall figure waiting for her on the stage and walked step by step towards her happy life.
