Whoosh—
Another round of applause rang out.
"Now, please have the bride and groom exchange rings!"
As the priest's voice faded and the cannons fired, Cai Manni and the groom exchanged sparkling diamond rings and embraced in front of everyone.
Beautiful fireworks exploded above their heads.
Colorful pieces of paper fluttered down onto Cai Manni's white veil, adding a distinct touch of liveliness and joy.
Overjoyed, the groom put his arm around Cai Manni's waist and led her off the wedding stage.
Marrying the daughter of a founding father was the perfect opportunity for the groom, especially at a crucial time when they were bringing their industries back to China and surrendering to the nation.
Moreover, Cai Manni herself is also very outstanding.
The bride and groom left one after another, and the guests took their seats on their own. Perhaps the food and wine at the banquet were too strong, causing Ye Yun's stomach to churn and making her feel nauseous.
Qin Zheng noticed her discomfort.
"Honey, why don't you rest here for a bit? I'm going to see Old Master Cai, and then we'll go home."
Ye Yun nodded.
Qin Zheng immediately waved to the waiter who was serving the dishes, asked for a glass of water for Ye Yun to drink first, and then picked up a cup of white wine to go see Old Master Cai.
As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Cai Manni, who was walking towards him arm in arm with Cai Lao.
"Qin Zheng, it's been a long time."
When Old Cai walked over, his expression remained as kind as when he faced everyone, but when he looked at Qin Zheng, his eyes were clearly filled with appreciation and affection for the younger generation.
This shows that he genuinely thinks highly of Qin Zheng, this young man.
Cai Manni also raised her hand in greeting.
Instead of accompanying the groom, she came to find Qin Zheng with Old Cai, which makes one ponder.
Ye Yun could no longer remain seated, so she stood up and stood beside Qin Zheng, facing Elder Cai.
"This must be your wife, Ms. Ye Yun, right?" After exchanging pleasantries with Qin Zheng, Old Cai turned to look at Ye Yun, scrutinizing her from head to toe, his slightly upturned lips revealing an inscrutable expression.
Ye Yun nodded slightly. "Hello."
"Hello to you too." Old Cai nodded, still wearing a kind smile, and praised, "You do seem to be a gentle woman. No wonder Qin Zheng values you. Back then, he insisted on resigning no matter what I offered, but I couldn't get him to come back."
Ye Yun smiled and said, "You flatter me."
“No need to be modest,” Old Cai continued. “Qin Zheng is a man of steel, and such a spirited young man is best suited to be with a gentle and tender woman like you. This is what is meant by using softness to overcome hardness.”
As he said this, he specifically looked at Cai Manni, who was standing next to him.
In front of so many people, Cai Manni could not speak freely. Even if Mr. Cai said things she didn't like to hear, she could only smile politely and maintain her elegance and poise.
However, she's not one to be trifled with.
Holding Cai Lao's arm, she smiled and said, "Yes, Father always likes to balance things out, just like when you lead troops. Each unit must be evenly matched. If a unit is not strong enough, you like to throw in a few strong ones. But then again, those weak ones can only survive by relying on the strong. Otherwise, if they really went to the battlefield, they would probably be reduced to ashes on their own."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced provocatively at Ye Yun beside Qin Zheng.
Goodness, that's what you said.
Isn't this a veiled criticism that Ye Yun is weak and can only rely on Qin Zheng?
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
"Manny, don't be rude." Old Cai also sensed the hostility in Cai Manny's words, and gave her an unpleasant glance, his eyes full of warning.
Cai Manni didn't care about being scolded; she even gave a disdainful sneer.
"It doesn't matter."
Ye Yun spoke up, still smiling, and said slowly, "I understand what Miss Cai means. Strong people are indeed the best combination, but we can't make conclusions without knowing the full story. Even a weak soldier might be able to charge into battle and kill the enemy, but being low-key and humble in daily life is also a valuable quality."
Ah, old Deng.
When she couldn't see that the father and daughter were working together to humiliate her, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop?
