The Jiang family was not actually invited to the wedding.
For Jiang Li, the entire Jiang family were strangers to her, even though they were related to her by blood.
After what happened before, there was really no need for them to have any further contact.
So when Lu Shiyan was drafting the guest list, he asked her if she wanted to invite the Jiang family, and Jiang Li decisively chose not to.
Since it's not a relationship that requires much interaction, there's no need to specifically bring people out in this situation.
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel awkward.
I didn't expect that...
The Jiang family actually showed up on their own initiative.
"You won't see them?" Seeing that Jiang Li didn't answer, Gong Yu seemed to have figured out the answer himself. "Then I'll let them leave?"
"Wait a minute," Jiang Li spoke up again. "Since they're all here, I'll go see them. Third Senior Brother, you can have someone arrange a separate table for them and have a celebratory feast. That way, their trip won't be in vain."
Anyway, she'll be here soon...
There's nothing to argue about anymore.
Since they've come, and they're not here to cause trouble, she can still invite them to a celebratory banquet.
Lu Shiyan's family is large and prosperous, so they have plenty of ingredients to prepare.
Let alone adding a table of dishes, even adding ten tables would be more than enough.
Jiang Li originally wanted to go out, but was scolded by Gong Yu.
Bride, why are you running around like that on your wedding day?
then……
He brought the Jiang family members to Jiang Li.
All six members of the Jiang family came.
They stood neatly in front of Jiang Li.
However, they all seemed a little awkward when Jiang Li looked over.
After all, they had no face to face Jiang Li because of what had happened in the past.
Moreover, as Jiang Li said, she doesn't owe the Jiang family anything.
But no matter what, they always want to make amends.
So, when Jiang Li got married, even though they weren't invited, they still shamelessly came.
When a bride gets married, without her family's support, there will inevitably be people gossiping behind her back.
Although the Jiang family is not as good as the Lu family, they have developed very well in recent years. The Jiang family is a well-known enterprise, so they are unlikely to embarrass Jiang Li too much.
Although……
She doesn't need it.
And so, the group stared at each other, none of them speaking first.
Finally, Jiang Li, finding it pointless, spoke first: "You guys..."
As she spoke, Jiang Chengxi also spoke up, "This is our..."
"Uh...you go first!"
"You go first."
The two of them paused for a moment, then let the other speak first.
Jiang Li actually wanted them to leave with Gong Yu, so it was better for the other party to speak first.
It's better than her telling people to leave as soon as she opens her mouth, right?
Jiang Chengxi took out a file folder, pointed to it and said to Jiang Li, "I know that the family has wronged you, but no matter what, you are still a daughter of the Jiang family. This is the dowry we prepared for you."
As Jiang Chengxi spoke, he took the contents of the file bag out.
While returning the item, he explained it to Jiang Li.
"This is 10 percent of the company's shares."
"This is a villa in the city center."
"These are the pieces of jewelry your mother prepared for you."
"And this is what your brothers prepared for you..."
"..."
There were quite a lot of things, which shows that the Jiang family put a lot of effort into preparing them.
From any perspective, this dowry is quite impressive.
only……
Jiang Li quickly stopped Jiang Chengxi, signaling him to put the things away.
“I won’t take these,” Jiang Li replied seriously. “I’ve said before that it’s best for you and me to be strangers. So, since we’re strangers, I naturally won’t accept your things. But since you’re here, why don’t you have a meal before you leave?”
“Jiang Li…” Su Ruan looked at Jiang Li, a hint of tears welling up in her eyes, “Are you… still blaming us?”
“Ms. Su, you’re overthinking it,” Jiang Li replied calmly. “I’ve never blamed you, because there’s no need. Kinship is something that was predetermined from the beginning. Our kinship is weak, and spending too much time together would only torment each other. It’s fine as it is now.”
Su Ruan's face paled even more.
"Jiang Li, everything that happened in the past was our fault." Jiang Chenghao looked at Jiang Li, a hint of pleading in his eyes. "Can't you let go of the past and talk to us..."
“It’s you who can’t let go of the past, not me…” Jiang Li interrupted Jiang Chenghao, her tone unusually serious and firm. “The past is the past to me, but you’re still living in the past. Can you look forward and stop being so attached to it?”
The Jiang family really meant nothing to her.
It has been from the very beginning.
She already knew this, so how could she possibly have any expectations?
Moreover, she went to the Jiang family with the intention of severing all ties with them.
Everything is actually pretty good now.
But they are family by blood, and for Jiang Li, inviting them to a wedding banquet was enough.
There's really no need for anything more.
"Since you don't want the dowry, you must accept the wedding gift we're giving you, okay?" Jiang Chengzhe glanced at Jiang Li again and said nervously.
“An inexpensive gift is fine,” Jiang Li replied.
Jiang Chengzhe: "..."
They couldn't wait to give Jiang Li the best of everything, so the gifts were naturally the best they could find. But then Jiang Li said something that left him speechless.
Jiang Chengxi finally said, "It's not a valuable gift. Compared to this dowry, it's nothing."
The congratulatory gift Jiang Chengxi mentioned was a sports car.
A specially customized sports car.
It's cool and looks great.
Inside the car, there was a small box containing a pair of crystal dolls.
The dolls were made in the likeness of Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan.
That should be the ornament placed in the car.
Jiang Li picked up the doll and said to Jiang Chengxi, "I'll take this doll, but I'll pass on the sports car."
Seeing that Jiang Chengxi was about to say something, Jiang Li smiled and said, "I really like this doll, thank you."
With just one sentence, Jiang Chengxi was silenced.
But since Jiang Li has already said that, what else can they do?
Fortunately, the pair of dolls were specially made by them, so at least they looked nice.
Originally, the Jiang family planned to leave after delivering the dowry.
But when they saw Jiang Li, they suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
I was planning to wait until Jiang Li's wedding was over before leaving.
Even if they couldn't appear as family members, they still wanted to see Jiang Li walk towards her other half amidst everyone's blessings.
so……
They did not refuse when the palace arranged a place for them.
Jiang Li then placed the pair of dolls in the room.
And you know what...
The doll looks a lot like her; you can tell it's her at a glance.
This would be a very fitting wedding gift.
