"Listen to your aunt. She has a nephew who's in business. Not only is he rich and powerful, but he's also incredibly handsome. If you were to get together, you'd be a perfect match!"
She became more and more excited as she talked, as if she wanted to immediately drag Su Yan to a blind date.
Ye Mei couldn't listen anymore, and no matter how much Yu Wendela pulled, she couldn't stop him.
"Mother-in-law, I'm afraid that's not appropriate."
"Why isn't it suitable? You're just looking down on my nephew's qualifications. My nephew is a big shot in M City, you know the Lin family, the artistic family, right? My nephew has a very close relationship with them!"
Song Qiu'e was about to boast about how capable her nephew was when Ye Mei interrupted her.
"She wasn't married, but she just got divorced!"
Ye Mei's words, as if by magic, instantly rendered Song Qiu'e speechless.
Song Qiu'e's gaze towards Su Yan changed instantly, becoming strange and slightly disgusted. She scrutinized Su Yan for a long time before letting out a regretful sigh.
"Why didn't you say so sooner! You made me waste all my breath!"
Ye Mei immediately pulled her aside and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, this is a joyous occasion for the two children. They are the main characters. Let's not let unrelated people become the focus."
Song Qiu'e nodded in agreement, but Su Yan thought differently.
Su Yan's face visibly darkened, and without a word, she turned to leave.
Just then, another surprised voice came from behind.
"elder sister?!"
The moment Su Xuan saw Su Yan as she came down from upstairs, she lifted her skirt and ran over excitedly.
"Sister, I never expected you to actually come!"
She grabbed Su Yan's arm, her face beaming with delight.
Su Yan smiled awkwardly and said very politely, "I just happened to be passing by and wanted to take a look. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Su Xuan quickly stopped her, "What's the rush? Can't you sit a little longer!"
She turned to Ye Mei for help, "Mom, please talk to my sister!"
At Su Xuan's urging, Ye Mei also spoke up: "That's right, it's a rare occasion for your sister to get married, so please stay a while and share in the joy."
Su Yan smiled upon hearing these somewhat perfunctory words.
"Since you've put it that way, then I really will stay."
She looked up at Ye Mei's stunned expression and felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction.
Ye Mei only paused briefly before turning her gaze to her youngest daughter. Seeing her bare shoulders, she immediately scolded, "Why did you run out without wearing any clothes! No matter how happy you are, you can't be so reckless. What if you catch a cold?"
Yu Wende took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, and said affectionately, echoing Ye Mei's words, "Your mother is right. She's about to get married, yet she's still so childish."
The sight of the happy family of three made Su Yan seem like an outsider who didn't fit in at all.
In an instant, Su Yan began to regret her decision to stay out of spite.
The groom, Du Zhiming, arrived late and, like everyone else, was momentarily stunned upon seeing Su Yan's unfamiliar face.
Who is this?
"My older sister, Su Yan, my own sister!"
When Su Xuan introduced them, she added a sentence.
Following up on what he said, Du Zhiming looked Su Yan up and down, and after looking her over, he joked, "You two really don't look like sisters."
Su Xuan patted his shoulder and said somewhat unhappily, "What are you saying! We're sisters with the same parents, how come we don't seem like sisters!"
Du Zhiming ignored her words, his gaze remaining fixed on Su Yan.
"I wonder what kind of work your sister does?"
Su Yan casually replied, "Just a regular job, working in a company."
Du Zhiming nodded knowingly, his brows relaxing.
"That's good. It's respectable for girls to work as clerks or, like Xuanxuan, become teachers."
Su Yan clearly saw that when he mentioned Su Xuan as a teacher, the pride on his face was undisguised.
It turns out that a woman's job can also become something for men to brag about.
Du Zhiming followed up with questions as if checking a census: "Is your sister married?"
As soon as the question was asked, Du Zhiming was pulled aside by Song Qiu'e.
"You silly child, why do you have to ask the wrong questions! She's divorced."
Du Zhiming nodded knowingly, his face showing no remorse for saying the wrong thing; on the contrary, he seemed even more relaxed.
"It's alright, sister. With your looks, you still have an advantage when it comes to marriage. Just don't wait until you're too old. No matter how beautiful an older woman is, she's not worth much anymore."
Su Yan listened to his "well-intentioned" reminder and replied with a forced smile: "You're wrong about that. A woman's worth isn't determined by how she gets married."
Before Du Zhiming could argue further, Su Xuan preemptively pulled him back.
Ye Mei also tried to smooth things over, saying, "Su Yan, you should go inside first. There's nothing for you to do here."
These words clearly implied that she was being too talkative and annoying. Su Yan gave a cold laugh and walked straight inside.
The faint sound of Du Zhiming's voice could still be heard behind them: "No wonder her ex-husband didn't want her, given her personality."
As for what anyone said next, Su Yan was too cold-hearted to hear it.
She sat down in a random spot and suddenly remembered Duan Sisi's words: "What kind of torture are you going to put yourself through this time!"
Yes, she's really stubborn; she just had to come here and suffer this humiliation.
Su Yan gritted her teeth and sat there until the wedding began. She watched as Su Xuan, dressed in a wedding gown, walked gracefully toward the handsome Du Zhiming, and then saw Ye Mei on the stage bursting into tears, the touching scene of the mother and daughter embracing and crying.
The sentimental people around them all had tears welling up in their eyes, but Su Yan couldn't bear to watch any longer. She picked up her bag and walked straight out of the banquet hall.
She got into the car, leaned against the backrest, her wounded heart still restless.
As soon as Su Yan closed her eyes, all she could see was the scene of her wedding with He Ziming. Ye Mei back then was a completely different person from the one in front of her now, so indifferent that she wouldn't even show a trace of expression on her face.
Su Yan took a deep breath, started the car, and quickly drove away from this chilling place.
She didn't go back to the company; instead, she went to the hospital.
Yi An had recovered well and was lying in bed full of energy, scrolling through the tablet in her hand, greedily admiring Su Yan's beauty on it.
While he was engrossed in his work, he was completely unaware that the real person had already appeared beside him.
"What are you looking at?"
Su Yan's sudden question startled Yi An, causing him to flinch and drop the tablet, which then smashed straight into his face.
"ah!"
With a cry of pain, Yi'an felt as if the bridge of her nose was about to break.
Are you alright?
Su Yan nervously examined his face, but he grabbed her hand instead.
Yi An rubbed her smooth hand and asked with a mischievous smile, "Nothing's wrong, why did you suddenly come?"
