In a daze, Chi Mengqiu felt as if she saw a familiar figure.
The car on the right flashed by, and its window quickly rolled up.
Chi Mengqiu blinked; she thought she had just seen something...
Shen Jialiang?
However, Chi Mengqiu quickly dismissed the idea.
Chi Mengqiu felt that she might not have slept well, and kept thinking about Chen Jiayi and her husband, so she kept feeling like she saw Shen Jialiang.
In Chi Mengqiu's memory, it seemed that Chen Jiayi always appeared with Shen Jialiang.
Now that Chen Jiayi is all alone, Chi Mengqiu feels somewhat uncomfortable.
Chi Mengqiu initially thought she was seeing things, but when she arrived at her house, she saw Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang at the door.
Chi Mengqiu was stunned!
When Chen Jiayi saw that Chi Mengqiu and the others had returned, they brought two familiar people with them.
She smiled and they greeted each other.
Chi Mengqiu asked directly, "No, when did Professor Shen arrive..."
Although Shen Jialiang is Chen Jiayi's husband, Chi Mengqiu doesn't dare to call Shen Jialiang by his name in front of him.
She still respectfully addressed Shen Jialiang as Professor Shen!
Shen Jialiang chuckled lightly, "I just arrived."
Shen Jialiang was originally extremely busy, but after learning that Chen Jiayi had almost gotten into trouble, he immediately handed over his work to his subordinates.
Shen Jialiang was really worried about Chen Jiayi being alone in Beijing, so he took the train overnight to come!
He traveled for a day and a night to reach Beijing. As soon as he got off the train, he ran into a familiar face. The person was also at the train station picking someone up to attend the Chi family banquet.
Shen Jialiang happened to be arriving in the other car!
What a coincidence! And Shen Jialiang just showed up like that.
Chi Mengqiu's lips twitched, somewhat speechless.
She thought she had misread it, but it turned out she hadn't!
Sure enough, Chi Mengqiu's eyes were those of a ruler.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone realized they were all familiar with each other; there was practically no one they didn't know.
Wang Shuting and Wang Shulan were initially a little uneasy, but after seeing Chen Jiayi, they inexplicably relaxed a lot.
Although Chen Jiayi is the daughter of the richest man, she has never put on airs with anyone since she returned home all these years ago!
Everyone felt very comfortable around Chen Jiayi.
Wang Shuting was initially unsure of what to do, fearing she might make a mistake at her daughter's wedding. However, upon seeing Miss Chen Jiayi there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the Chen family has treated Wang Shuting as half a family member, so Chen Jiayi naturally wants to support Wang Shuting.
Therefore, when Li Mo suggested that she be a bridesmaid, Chen Jiayi only considered that she was already married and it seemed that it was not customary to do so.
Actually, Chen Jiayi didn't think too much about it!
Although Chi's mother outwardly welcomed her daughter-in-law's family, her smile was merely a perfunctory one.
After seeing Shen Jialiang appear, he was shocked for a few seconds.
Then, he showed his first genuine smile.
Others might not feel it as obviously, but Chen Jiayi and Li Mo are observant and sensitive to other people's emotions.
They could tell at a glance that Chi's mother's attitude had changed.
"Xiao Shen, I didn't expect you to come to my son's wedding! We originally invited your Shen family, but your parents said you two didn't have time. I didn't expect you to come one after the other."
Hearing what Chi's mother said, Li Mo felt for some reason that it sounded a bit sarcastic.
She cleared her throat, as if to indicate that what her mother-in-law was saying was inappropriate.
But to my surprise, Mrs. Chi spoke with a smile.
"I heard that when Chen Jiayi married you, it was because you two were drugged?"
She sighed with feigned regret, "It's such a pity, otherwise my family..."
As if realizing that her mother might say something shocking, Chi Mengqiu reached out and grabbed her mother's arm.
"Mom, my brother is getting married tomorrow. Let everyone go in and get them some rest first! Otherwise, what if we get busy when guests come later?"
All of these things were handled by Mrs. Chi. If Mrs. Chi really got busy, others wouldn't know and things might go wrong.
When Chi's mother realized what was happening, she quickly smiled and said "Oh".
"Look at my brain... I'm really not as good as you young people. Come on, I'll take you to your resting place."
Originally, Chi's mother wanted to make fun of Chen Jiayi, since she had initially thought highly of Shen Jialiang as her son-in-law.
Who in Beijing doesn't have a high opinion of Shen Jialiang?
But a country girl ended up getting on the bus halfway there.
Shen Jialiang didn't laugh; he didn't even bother with formalities and spoke in a very cold tone.
"Mrs. Chi, if you don't know how to speak, you don't have to speak."
Hearing Shen Jialiang speak to her future mother-in-law like that, Li Mo couldn't help but find it amusing, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness! Thank goodness it wasn't her who offended Shen Jialiang.
Chi's mother's smile froze, and at that moment Wang Shuting spoke in a gentle tone.
"Xiao Shen, perhaps Aunt Chi is just concerned about you."
The tense atmosphere that had been building instantly dissipated.
Shen Jialiang knew that Wang Shuting had been working in the Chen family for many years, and that Wang Ma was different from other ordinary servants.
If Shen Jialiang's words offended Wang Ma, Li Mo or Wang Shuting might be looked down upon by the Chi family.
Sometimes, wealthy families don't discuss these things openly. But what happens in private, Chen Jiayi has no idea.
In fact, the woman's side was well aware that the man's family did not like her very much.
So when Chen Jiayi was about to speak and tell everyone to go and rest, Chi's mother smiled and accepted the way out offered by Li Mo's mother.
Originally, Mrs. Chi was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect Shen Jialiang to react so strongly.
After saying that, Chi's mother immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, but the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back.
Chi's mother was surprised that Li Mo's mother would give her a way out, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.
Chi Mengqiu felt that her mother was a bit spoiled and pampered; her skills hadn't improved, but her temper had gotten better and better.
She chuckled and said, "Mom, have you been so busy these past few days?"
Mrs. Chi looked at her daughter and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for several years, Chi's mother was still very gentle with Chi Mengqiu.
Soon, Chi's mother had made arrangements for all the people from the bride's family.
Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang are considered to be from the woman's side, so they were arranged to stay together.
The Chi family's villa is very large, with many guest rooms, capable of accommodating a large number of guests.
Originally, Shen Jialiang and Chen Jiayi were supposed to live together, but Chen Jiayi slept with Chi Mengqiu at night.
There are still more than ten hours until Li Mo's wedding.
Everyone was sitting in the living room because there were many guests who had arrived early, and the Chi family had hired a chef to host the banquet at home.
Soon, the Chi family members went up on stage and said a few polite words.
It's nothing more than saying something to make sure everyone eats and drinks well.
