Ye Mei took Su Xuan's hand and got out of the taxi. Pointing to the magnificent hotel in front of them, she asked repeatedly, "Are you sure this is the place?"
Su Xuan glanced at the message on her phone and nodded in reply, "That's right, Mom. The message said my sister is getting married here. Let's hurry in and not waste any time."
Urged on by her, Ye Mei let her pull her along and quickly walked into the hotel.
They entered through a side entrance of the hotel and couldn't find their way, so they grabbed a passing waiter and asked, "Excuse me, could you tell me where Su Yan's wedding hall is?"
The waiter thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "Is this the wedding of Mr. Su, the CEO of the Yi Group? Please follow me this way."
Seeing that he had become noticeably more enthusiastic, Ye Mei was still in a daze and followed behind him, muttering to herself, "Yi Group? Where have I heard of it before?"
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Ye Mei was stunned by the decorations in front of her, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Su Xuan's hand.
Su Xuan helped her hesitantly out of the elevator. After glancing around, she suddenly let out an excited scream.
"The Yi Group!"
She turned her head, grabbed Ye Mei's arm, and shook it hard.
"Mom, my sister married into the Yi Group!"
Hearing her words, Ye Mei belatedly realized which company, Yi's Group, was. Her expression at that moment could no longer be described as merely shocked.
She gave her name and was led into a room specifically for resting and putting on makeup.
As soon as Ye Mei entered, she saw the beautiful bride surrounded by everyone in the center.
"Yan Yan".
She didn't even dare to call out Su Yan's name loudly.
But this faint sound still startled the speaker, and Su Yan followed the gazes of the others.
When Su Yan's gaze fell upon Ye Mei and Su Xuan, she looked away with slight surprise, but quickly turned away indifferently and continued chatting and laughing with Duan Sisi beside her.
If the bride reacted this way, the other guests could no longer pay any attention to Ye Mei.
Ye Mei rubbed her hands, standing there somewhat awkwardly, unsure whether to move forward or leave.
Su Xuan pulled her aside and came to her rescue: "Mom, I suddenly need to go to the toilet, will you come with me?"
Ye Mei touched her pocket, wanting to say something, but Su Xuan pulled her back again.
"Let's go, Mom."
Ye Mei turned to look at Su Yan, and seeing that she still didn't pay any attention to her, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
After the door to the room closed and then closed again, Su Yan slowly turned her gaze towards it, her eyes filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe.
"I'm going to the restroom."
Su Yan stood up, and the makeup artist behind her was about to follow, but Duan Sisi stopped her first.
"Let her go by herself."
Despite her doubts, the makeup artist did not follow.
Duan Sisi watched Su Yan's figure disappear through the door, sighed deeply, and looked utterly melancholy.
Su Yan, carrying her wedding dress, struggled through the crowd, heading straight for the restroom.
Guests along the way wanted to approach her and strike up a conversation, but seeing her icy expression, which clearly conveyed "Do Not Disturb," they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
As Su Xuan stepped out of the bathroom, she heard faint sobbing coming from the next stall. She couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong?"
The question had barely left my mouth when the sound of water pumping began.
Ye Mei's voice was choked with sobs as she said intermittently, "It's nothing."
When she came out of the cubicle, Su Xuan could clearly see that her eyes were red.
"Mom!" Su Xuan called out worriedly.
Ye Mei waved her hand weakly, "It's nothing, I just couldn't help it."
Su Xuan tentatively asked, "Did my sister's attitude hurt you? She didn't mean it."
Ye Mei shook her head vigorously, "No, I just felt both happy and heartbroken seeing her in her wedding dress. All these years, I haven't done anything for her, and seeing her get married, I don't even have the right to be happy."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Ye Mei's eyes again.
Su Xuan felt heartbroken seeing her like this.
"Mom, you're here again. You've made me want to cry. Don't cry. It's such a happy day. What if my sister sees this and gets upset?"
Ye Mei immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face.
"Yes, you can't cry, or your sister will be upset."
She reached for the paper but pulled out two red eggs instead.
She held the eggs out to Su Xuan, saying, "The eggs got cold before I could give them to your sister. I don't know if she's eaten anything after such a busy morning."
Su Xuan found it both funny and heartbreaking.
"Mom, you've been covering these eggs with your hands all the way here. I told you long ago that my sister can't eat them, but you still insisted on bringing them. Now look at her, her wedding is so grand, and she's marrying into the Yi Group. She can't be short of food, so you can rest assured."
Seeing the hesitation on Ye Mei's face, she said, "How about I find someone to help you take it in? Would that put your mind at ease?"
Ye Mei's expression immediately brightened, and she carefully handed the two red eggs to Su Xuan.
"Go and take it to her quickly, in case she hasn't eaten."
Su Yan, who was eavesdropping at the bathroom door, heard Su Xuan's footsteps and immediately hid in a corner.
She waited until both of them had left before slowly walking out.
She watched the two figures leaning against each other from behind, her eyes flashing with a mixture of light and shadow.
"Why? What exactly do they want to do?"
Su Yan muttered to herself for a long time before walking back as if she had lost her soul.
She had just reached the lobby when she suddenly heard two familiar voices.
"Auntie, I really have to go now. I can't stay any longer. The film crew is waiting for me to start work. Please pass on my blessings to my brother and sister-in-law."
Meng Jie frowned deeply. "What kind of job doesn't even give you the right to a day off? Which production crew is it? I'll tell them!"
Hearing her domineering words, Sun Yinyao panicked and didn't know what to say.
"Auntie, please let me go! I really can't stay any longer!"
She was terrified that if she stayed even a second longer, Su Yan would bump into her.
But after she finished dealing with Meng Jie, she looked up and met a pair of deep, dark eyes.
Sun Yinyao froze on the spot. "Sister-in-law... Miss Su, what a coincidence."
She forced a greeting, her forced laugh sounding like she was about to cry.
Su Yan stared intently at her, walked forward step by step, turned to Meng Jie and asked with a smile, "Mom, who is this? I've never seen her before."
Sun Yinyao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned to look at Meng Jie, hurriedly trying to stop her: "I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go first!"
