Yu Zihan didn't think about it, as she always responded to each situation with her own strategy. It was twelve o'clock, and the host and guests gathered in the first-floor hall.
Pei Xiao invited his good friend Zhang Qihui to be the emcee. He was the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. He had a good personality and was good at speaking, making him very suitable for such a job.
"Hello everyone, today is the wedding day of my good friends Pei Xiao and Yu Meijuan. We are gathered here to witness the happiest moment of this couple." As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause rang out in the audience.
"I am their good friend. We grew up together. I witnessed their journey from childhood sweethearts to passionate love, separation after more than a decade, and reunion. Today, they finally walked into the palace of marriage.
Their love journey was bumpy, but sweet. Unwavering loyalty is the best description of their love. During their separation, Pei Xiao searched for Meijuan. When he learned that Meijuan might not be alive, he refused to believe it. He persisted in his search, devoting all his spare time to finding her. Over a decade of separation, over a decade of searching.
It was their unwavering perseverance that ultimately led to their reunion. It was also this period of separation that made me realize even more deeply that true love exists in this world. Beautiful love isn't just something found in fairy tales; it's all around us.
They are unfortunate because they have suffered a lot, but they are the happiest because they are finally reunited. Not only that, they also have a very outstanding daughter named Yu Zihan.
She's the champion of the National Middle School English Competition and this year's citywide high school entrance exam. We congratulate them on their marriage today and on their family's future happiness. Everyone, friends and family, generously gave them a round of applause, and at that moment, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Zhang Qihui's words gave everyone a brief understanding of the couple's experiences and also explained why they held their wedding at such an age.
"We envy such beautiful love, so please enjoy the delicious food and wine on the table. Share their happiness and joy." The host has spoken, so everyone raised their glasses to toast and tasted the food.
Just as everyone was laughing and talking, a little girl walked up to the podium. Her eyes were full of malice, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised from time to time, with a hint of sarcasm and pride.
"Hello, uncles, aunts, and everyone. Excuse me for interrupting you." When people heard someone talking in the microphone on the podium, they all focused their attention on the podium. They saw a girl who was the same age as Yu Zihan on the podium. She was wearing tattered clothes and had unkempt hair. She lowered her head and seemed very timid.
Yu Zihan recognized the person immediately, even though she was disguised. This person was Li Limei, whom she had not seen for a long time.
When Yu Zihan saw Li Limei, all her old and new hatreds surged up in her heart. She knew that this person was going to cause trouble, and it was too late to stop her now. Instead, people would think that they were trying to cover up their crimes. Yu Zihan knew what she was going to do.
Her mind was working quickly. The most effective way at the moment was to tell her everything about her mother in the mountain village. Those who understood would understand, and there was nothing they could do about those who wanted to misinterpret. It was inevitable to be misunderstood by others in life.
Li Limei felt Yu Zihan was looking at her, and she looked in the direction of Yu Zihan and Yu Meijuan.
"Aunt Jianguo, why are you here?" Her words puzzled everyone present and almost made Yu Meijuan faint from anger.
"What Aunt Jianguo? Is Meijuan already married in the village? Her husband's name is Jianguo?"
"It turns out Pei Xiao married a divorced woman."
"If it were me, I would just stay in the countryside and have the nerve to come back. Why would I even hold a wedding? Isn't that embarrassing?"
Discussions arose one after another. Both the Pei family and the Yu family were confused by this sudden situation.
Yu Meijuan listened to everyone's discussion and couldn't hold back her expression. She looked at Pei Xiao, as if to say, "It's all my fault that I've implicated you."
Pei Xiao tried to comfort her, looking angrily at Li Limei standing on the stage. He wasn't afraid of this matter being known to everyone. Even if Yu Meijuan was remarried, he didn't care. He hadn't mentioned it before because he was afraid that Yu Meijuan would feel bad. Now, this girl wanted to talk about it in public, so he had to say it.
Yu Zihan said to her mother, "Mom, don't be angry. You fell into their trap because you were angry." After talking to her mother, she walked directly to the podium, looked at Li Limei and said, "You are the daughter of an embezzler and a hooligan, and the sister of a human trafficker. What allows someone like you to stand at my parents' wedding? Is there someone supporting you to do this? Tell me who she is. I want to see what her intentions are." Yu Zihan did not give Li Limei a chance to continue speaking. She changed the subject.
"No one supports me. Who can support me? I'm just a little girl from the countryside." This is what Yu Zihan was waiting for.
"You know you're just a little girl from the countryside, right? So let me ask you, how did you know my parents were having their wedding here today?" Yu Zihan only asked this question, and it made everyone present suspicious of this little girl. Yu Zihan sensed that everyone present was suspicious of Li Limei, so she struck while the iron was hot.
"How did you get from a small mountain village to the imperial capital? How do you survive in the imperial capital? Don't tell me you came from a small mountain village thousands of miles away to the imperial capital by begging all the way. Then why did you endure all the hardships and come all the way to the imperial capital? What motivated you to come to the imperial capital? Without someone giving you a license and without instructions from behind the scenes, no one would believe it."
