As soon as Xi Quan and Ye Qing entered the door, Aunt Zhang greeted them and said to Ye Qing, "Xu Xiaoyue called looking for you earlier. I told her you weren't here and asked her to page you or call you. Did she do it?"
Ye Qing first shook her head, then remembered that she and Xi Yue were shopping and it was quite noisy. She was afraid that Xiao Yue might call or page her and she wouldn't hear it, so Ye Qing took out her pager and mobile phone from her bag.
In particular, she carefully checked the previous records and found that Xu Xiaoyue had paged her.
So Ye Qing asked Aunt Zhang, "What did she say on the phone?"
"She didn't say, but I think it's probably related to her wedding." Aunt Zhang pursed her lips, appearing particularly mysterious, yet there was an excitement in her voice.
To be honest, Ye Qing didn't really like Zhang Sao's attitude, but regardless of whether she liked it or not, at least from Zhang Sao's attitude, it was clear that she really knew what Xiao Yue might want to talk to her about.
Besides that, Ye Qing also found Xu Xiaoyue's behavior a bit strange.
Given Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue's relationship, if Xu Xiaoyue were really in a hurry and called to say she wasn't available, she could simply continue calling her pager or mobile phone. In the past, whenever Xu Xiaoyue wanted to find her, she would bombard her with calls, no matter how big or small, until she finally reached her.
this time……
Ye Qing looked at Zhang Sao and asked, "Do you know why she wanted to see me?"
Aunt Zhang nodded.
Ye Qing asked again, "So what exactly happened?"
"It's all about her getting married."
Hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Ye Qing immediately tensed up. Had something gone wrong with Xu Xiaoyue and Liu Yuliang? The wedding was just this weekend, and she hoped nothing would go wrong.
More importantly, Xu Xiaoyue and Liu Yuliang had already obtained their marriage certificate a few days ago.
They're already a legally married couple. If something goes wrong and their marriage falls through, it would be a huge waste for Xu Xiaoyue.
After all, a woman's second marriage and a man's second marriage are not comparable. There's nothing you can do about it if you're not convinced; that's just reality.
So when Ye Qing heard Aunt Zhang say that there might be a problem with Xu Xiaoyue's marriage, she quickly picked up the phone to call Xu Xiaoyue.
Aunt Zhang stopped Ye Qing, saying, "You'd better not call anymore. I think she hasn't contacted you since, probably because she doesn't know how to tell you."
Ye Qing thought Xu Xiaoyue had argued with Liu Yuliang and was coming to her to complain about him, but judging from Zhang Sao's words, that was clearly not the case. After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said, "Can you just tell me what you know all at once?"
Since returning, Aunt Zhang had been talking to Ye Qing, and she was talking about Xu Xiaoyue, so Xi Quan hadn't had a chance to speak and remained silent.
After listening for a while, Xi Quan vaguely realized something. He looked at Ye Qing's protruding belly and said, "I guess she doesn't want you to attend the wedding."
"Huh?" Ye Qing was still a little confused. Hearing Xi Quan's words, she looked at him in surprise, then looked at Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang nodded firmly at Ye Qing, indicating that she agreed with what Xi Quan said.
Ye Qing hadn't realized what was happening before, and was indeed surprised when she heard Xi Quan say that, but when she noticed that Xi Quan's gaze was on her stomach, she realized what was going on.
Because she was pregnant, Ye Qing couldn't attend funerals or weddings, as is the custom in some places. However, since Xu Xiaoyue hadn't shown any intention to prevent her from attending her wedding since she learned about it, Ye Qing overlooked this point.
It would be a lie to say that Ye Qing wasn't angry at all about not being able to attend her best friend's wedding. However, she couldn't say she was angry; she was just a little disappointed because her friendship with Xiao Yue had truly stood the test of time, and Ye Qing wanted to witness her friend's happiest moment.
It seems like that's not going to work.
Although Ye Qing knew that she didn't need to call Xu Xiaoyue anymore, she still wanted to ask Xu Xiaoyue if the two children would still be flower girls since Xu Xiaoyue had previously promised to let them be flower girls. However, Xi Quan couldn't attend because of his grandmother's situation, and Ye Qing was pregnant and not very welcome to attend the wedding.
Judging from Xu Xiaoyue's hesitant attitude, Ye Qing could tell that it was probably not that Xu Xiaoyue didn't want to go, so he needed to show some respect and not put his friend in a difficult position.
Although she had just returned, Ye Qing called Xu Xiaoyue and arranged to meet her outside.
It was time for kindergarten to let out, so Xi Quan went out with Ye Qing again. He took Ye Qing to see Xu Xiaoyue while he went to pick up the child.
Since they had already arranged to meet at this time, Ye Qing planned to have dinner with Xu Xiaoyue outside before going back, so Xi Quan didn't need to rush to pick her up.
When Ye Qing arrived at the agreed-upon place, Xu Xiaoyue was already there. She quickly came over to greet him, saying, "You're here."
Ye Qing smiled and, seeing that Xu Xiaoyue kept avoiding his gaze, spoke first: "I had been thinking of calling you, but I've been busy lately and forgot. I heard from Aunt Zhang that you were looking for me, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to tell you."
Xu Xiaoyue, who was initially quite embarrassed and unsure how to face Ye Qing, instinctively asked upon hearing Ye Qing's words, "What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"
"It's not a big deal, but it's better to be careful." Ye Qing said, then looked down at her stomach.
Xu Xiaoyue was initially curious about what Ye Qing wanted to say, but upon seeing Ye Qing's action, she instantly understood what he meant.
Xu Xiaoyue was already embarrassed, and seeing Ye Qing's actions, her eyes flickered even more fiercely: "Ye Qing, I..."
As soon as Xu Xiaoyue was about to speak, Ye Qing interrupted her. Seeing that Xu Xiaoyue was in a dilemma, Ye Qing took the initiative to speak, "I originally wanted to tell you that I wouldn't be going to your wedding. Xi Quan's grandmother just had an accident, and according to tradition, Xi Quan is currently in mourning and cannot attend happy events. This usually lasts for three years."
Although people aren't as superstitious as they used to be, Grandma Xi Quan hasn't even completed her 49-day mourning period yet, so she definitely can't go. And me... it's not really appropriate for me to attend the wedding. Even though it's considered superstition, it's your wedding after all, and I should be giving you my blessings. I can't let this cause you trouble. Some things are better believed than not, and besides, I didn't attend Grandma Xi Quan's funeral.”
Ye Qing's words made Xu Xiaoyue very embarrassed: "I don't really care about these things, but Liu Yuliang's mother and my grandmother both... so... it's easy to talk to my grandmother, she'll eventually give in to me, it's just Liu Yuliang's side..."
"You absolutely must not have any arguments with Liu Yuliang's mother over this kind of thing."
