Chapter 345: The Wedding in Progress
Although the Lu family kept the wedding low-key due to the nature of Lu Ye's work.
But many relatives, friends, and neighbors who heard the news still came.
Ye Jingsong's parents were unable to come due to health reasons, but they asked Ye Jingsong to give a gift to Bai Zhi and wrote a letter saying that they would come to Nancheng next month to meet Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi.
Then, the newlyweds began toasting the guests.
First, at the elders' table, Ye Rufeng looked at the wine glass that Lu Ye brought over, stared at him intently for two seconds, but didn't say anything. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Grandpa, aren't you going to say something?" Bai Zhi asked sweetly, looking at the old man who clearly had a lot to say but had only drunk his wine and then lowered his head in silence.
Her maternal grandfather was the head of her family and her pillar of support at this moment. How could he not say a few words?
Ye Rufeng met Bai Zhi's expectant gaze and said, "If you really want me to talk, then I'll say a few words."
"My child, I believe you will be happy."
Because she was given a second chance at life, she knows how to cherish it.
They also know how to filter.
Ye Rufeng then looked at Lu Ye with a serious expression, "Lu Ye, if my granddaughter is unhappy with you, I will take her away at any time."
"Grandpa, that's impossible."
Old Master Lu, who was sitting at the same table, quickly smiled and smoothed things over, "Yes, yes, that day will never come. My granddaughter-in-law has married into the Lu family, and our whole family will dote on her from now on."
"Brother Ye, please rest assured, the child will definitely not suffer any grievances in the Lu family. If Lu Ye bullies her, I will be the first to object."
"good."
Ye Rufeng didn't want to say too much at this time.
There was no worry or reluctance.
Bai Zhi is different from other girls. She has lived two lives and has a strong heart. No matter what decision she makes, it is a decision made after careful consideration.
He also believed that even if anything happened between her and Lu Ye in the future, she would be able to bear the consequences herself.
She has a way out, and that's their confidence.
As his maternal grandfather, he didn't want to worry unnecessarily and ask the Lu family for any guarantees.
When love exists, nothing needs to be said; a single glance is enough to prove everything.
Once love disappears, vows of eternal love become nothing but a joke.
Just live in the moment.
Immediately afterwards, the wine glass was placed in front of Mr. Xie.
As Lu Ye's maternal grandfather and an intellectual, he was completely different from Ye Rufeng.
Mr. Xie had prepared a set of blessings long ago.
He first gathered his emotions, then spoke in a drawn-out tone, as if lecturing.
"A single thread binds us together, sweetness fills our hearts, a perfect match made in heaven, may we live a long and happy life together."
"It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat ride, and a hundred years to share a pillow in sleep."
After Mr. Xie finished reciting his words, someone in the audience led the applause.
"Old Xie is indeed a cultured man; he spoke very well."
Old Xie waved his hand and said with a smile, "You flatter me."
"I am happy for my grandson's wedding, and I sincerely wish them well."
He looked at them and said earnestly, "Xiao Ye, you must treat Xiao Zhi well. She is your benefactor, and it is your blessing to marry her."
"Grandpa, I will."
After the two toasted each other, besides offering their blessings, they also urged Lu Ye to treat Bai Zhi well.
After Ye Tiandong met with the two bosses, Lu Shaoan, for the second time, they exchanged contact information. This time, the drinking culture was fully demonstrated by the two of them.
Ye Tiandong, who already had something on his mind, was now slightly tipsy.
When the bride and groom's drinks were served to him, he even saw double.
"I want to drink double the amount at my niece's wedding."
He finished his two glasses and gestured for Lu Ye to refill them.
Seeing that Ye Tiandong had drunk too much, Lu Ye looked at Bai Zhi.
My uncle insisted that I drink a couple more glasses of wine at the wedding, which I absolutely could not refuse.
But he was definitely drunk by now.
Bai Zhi smiled as she poured the wine and personally presented it to Ye Tiandong, saying, "Uncle, your niece would like to toast with you."
"Thank you for your care and love. I feel very happy and grateful to have an uncle like you." Bai Zhi clinked glasses with him and took a small sip.
“My dear niece, your uncle is a failure in marriage and can’t offer any advice on how to manage one. I just hope that you can treat each other sincerely.”
"Thank you, Uncle."
Bai Zhi looked at Ye Tiandong, whose eyes were red from drinking.
She really felt sorry for him.
It's also very uncomfortable.
It's clear that the uncle hasn't recovered from the trauma of being deceived and betrayed by his lover.
That marriage, that woman, hurt Ye Tiandong deeply.
Especially today, her wedding day, her uncle is overcome with emotion, so his feelings are quite complicated.
Ye Tiandong waved his hand, signaling Bai Zhi and the others to go and toast the others.
"Nephew, niece-in-law, your second uncle is not good with words, but I have sincere blessings for you."
"Everything is in the wine."
Lu Shaoan was a straightforward man, and he drank both cups of wine in one gulp.
Wang Shufen was hoping that Lu Shaoan would say a few more auspicious words.
Unexpectedly, the person only offered a blessing, and that was the end of it after finishing the drink.
Wang Shufen cannot drink alcohol, and Bai Zhi was about to suggest that she could get her a beverage.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shufen had already stood up, her face beaming with a smile, her voice rising as if afraid no one would hear her, "Nephew, niece-in-law, your second aunt may not know how to speak, but I wish you a long and happy marriage, constant laughter, blissful life, many children, and a long and happy life together, and also, and also..."
Lu Shaoan sat to the side, glancing at the woman who was deliberately showing off, his face falling in disgust.
"Thank you, Second Aunt."
Considering her health, Bai Zhi suggested, "Let me pour you a drink."
Wang Shufen flatly refused, saying, "On your joyous occasion, how can I, as your second aunt, drink beverages? You must drink alcohol, you must drink wedding wine."
Bai Zhi had no choice but to pour her two cups.
Wang Shufen picked up the bowl and downed it in one gulp.
Then, looking at Bai Zhi, he smiled and said in a high-pitched voice, "Xiao Zhi, from now on we are family. On behalf of the whole family, I welcome you to join the Lu family."
"I'm a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and you're a daughter-in-law of the Lu family too. Although we're of different generations, we'll be on the same side from now on. Don't worry, your second aunt will protect you."
Upon hearing Wang Shufen's words, the expressions of the other members of the Lu family became somewhat subtle.
What is a united front?
She's protecting Bai Zhi?
These words are sure to give outsiders a lot to think about.
Lu Shaoan coughed heavily, raised his hand and pulled Wang Shufen aside, whispering a reminder, "Say less."
"Why are you stopping me?" Wang Shufen rolled her eyes at Lu Shaoan, whose expression was unfriendly.
He told her not to say it, but she insisted.
She could sense that Lu Shaoan no longer loved her; all he felt for her was disdain.
But at this moment, she couldn't listen to him and keep shrinking back.
Now that she's feeling better, she wants to stand up and say a few more words so that the guests can all get to know her and know who she is.
She is Lu Shaoan's wife and Lu Ye's second aunt.
