Li Ying once again sternly warned Jing Chi not to disturb the mother and son.
This time it's not just talk. For Li Ying, if Ye Jingchi, who is alive, only has his own mission, she would rather he be gone. That way, he can complete his mission without any worries, and she and her son wouldn't have to be disappointed time and time again in this kind of expectation.
If you can't fulfill someone's expectations, then don't.
She seems strong, but sometimes she's just putting on a brave face. No one can go through so many breakups and reunions and remain unmoved.
Jing Chi took a step back and said, "Sorry."
He turned around, got into the car, and drove away.
As the car drove away, Li Ying felt as if something was tearing her heart apart.
Li Ying pressed her hand hard against her chest and told herself, "Li Ying, don't be sad for anyone anymore."
Li Ying returned to the clinic. In a few days, it would be her second brother Li Ting and Sang Zhi's wedding, and she would be busy sending them some suitable gifts.
When Li Ting took Chenchen to his parents' home, he and Sang Zhi had a disagreement about writing the invitations.
"Yingying, you be the judge. No matter what, Jing Yingyan is my superior, right? I've retired from the military with her now, but I think it's not unreasonable to invite him to our wedding for such a joyous occasion, is it?"
Sang Zhi pulled Li Ying aside and said seriously, "He knows perfectly well that Jing Yingyan and I were engaged before. Isn't it awkward to invite him over? What I mean is, if Jing Yingyan were in Shanghai, we could invite him, but he's in the capital. Why do we have to invite him over?"
Both of them had their own reasons.
Li Ying laughed: "If you ask me, we should listen to Sang Zhi and not invite Jing Yingyan."
“I see…” Li Ting scratched his head and muttered, “I told Commander Jing before that I would definitely invite him to my wedding banquet. Wouldn’t it be breaking my promise not to invite him?”
"When are you going to change your blockheaded ways?" Sang Zhi pinched Li Ting. "You said those things before you were discharged from the army, but the situation is different now. Do you really want Commander Jing to take time out of his busy schedule to attend a wedding banquet?"
Li Ting smacked his lips and nodded: "You guys decide, you guys decide."
Getting married is such a complicated affair.
Sang Zhi pouted, looking quite aggrieved.
“Yingying, look at him, he looks like he’s on the verge of a fight, as if I’m holding a knife to his throat and forcing him to marry me.”
Li Ying smiled and comforted him, "Marriage is a major life event, and people always have a lot to consider. Unlike me, it was just an agreement, there was no wedding, no such festive occasion. My second brother is a stubborn person, so don't argue with him. If you want something, just tell Mom."
Sang Zhi chuckled and said, "I didn't make a fuss with him. We finally got married, I can't mess it up."
Chenchen lay on the table, peeling and eating candy by herself.
"By the way, Yingying, do you think we should invite Leng Yan?" Sang Zhi asked again.
"I'll definitely invite Leng Yan, but we won't invite anyone else." Li Ying's meaning was clear: she would only invite Leng Yan.
Yang Mei and Li Dongguo showed the list of people they were looking for to Li Ting and Sang Zhi.
"This is your father's idea. If you feel it's not appropriate, we don't have to invite you."
Sang Zhi and Li Ting read it carefully and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As long as the person was willing to come, it was just a matter of sending out an invitation.
Would a family as big as the Lu family attend their wedding?
"Just do as Mom and Dad say. It doesn't matter whether they come or not. We've already received the invitations, that's enough."
Sang Zhi whispered, "The Lu family took all ownership of the machinery factory this time, and the Jing family is already furious. Do you think Leng Yanyan won't be on bad terms with them?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Leng Yan is a person who considers the big picture and wouldn't act recklessly."
After discussing it, they decided to do as Li Dongguo suggested, sending out invitations to everyone they were supposed to invite, and whether or not they would attend would depend on their wishes.
Three days later, Li Ting and Sang Zhi got married, and the banquet was held at Li Dongguo's house.
Since Sang Zhi had no parents, the wedding ceremony was omitted.
To everyone's surprise, the Lu family sent someone, and it was Lu Yufei herself who came, which was a great honor for the Li family.
The Tang family also sent someone; it was Tang Feng, who used the alias Manager Tang.
Tang Qiao and Ye Wennian also came, but Ye Zhonghong was not with them.
The cold banquet wasn't too late.
I don't know if the person in charge is incompetent, but they just happened to arrange for Leng Yan and Lu Yufei to sit at the same table.
"Miss Lu, this is wedding wine, won't you have a drink?" When Leng Yan poured the wine, he deliberately poured an extra glass and presented it to Lu Yufei.
Lu Yufei glanced at Leng Yan but ignored him.
Leng Yan curled his lips: "Is Miss Lu so detached from worldly affairs?"
"Just eat your food." Lu Yufei really didn't want to talk to Leng Yan, but this real man insisted on talking to her, which was really annoying.
Leng Yan seemed to do it on purpose, getting up and switching seats with the guest next to Lu Yufei, sitting down next to Lu Yufei.
Lu Yufei turned to look at Leng Yan: "You wouldn't be looking for an opportunity to retaliate against me because you lost to me at the machinery factory, would you?"
“Miss Lu, you’re mistaken. I, Leng Yan, am certainly not a good person, but I wouldn’t retaliate against you in front of so many people. I’m not that stupid.” Leng Yan pushed his wine glass toward Lu Yufei. “This is someone’s wedding wine. Take a sip and share in the joy.”
"No fancy stuff, let's not try anything funny!"
Lu Yufei still wouldn't give him that face.
It wasn't until Li Ting and Sang Zhi came to this table to offer a toast that the situation changed.
Lu Yufei originally wanted to pick up the tea beside her, but Leng Yan was quick-witted and forced the cup of wine into Lu Yufei's hand.
Lu Yu insisted on getting another cup of tea, which was clearly disrespectful, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and drink the beverage.
Li Ting and Sang Zhi went to other tables to offer toasts.
Leng Yan noticed Lu Yufei's flushed cheeks and smiled, "It's rumored that Miss Lu doesn't drink alcohol at all, and it seems that's true."
Lu Yufei felt dizzy and tried to stand up, but there was nothing under her feet, and she almost fell. Leng Yan reached out to support her.
"Take me with you," Lu Yufei pleaded.
Seeing that her neck was bright red, Leng Yan realized that he had gone too far with his joke and helped Lu Yufei leave early.
Before you leave, have Ah Hu tell the person in charge of the Li family.
Li Ying was so busy helping out in the kitchen that she didn't pay attention to what was happening at the dinner table. By the time she found out, Leng Yan had already taken Lu Yufei away.
"Ah Hu, your Master Leng wouldn't do anything to Lu Yufei, would he?"
Li Ying was worried. If Lu Yufei got into trouble because of the banquet, her Li family couldn't afford to take the blame.
"Miss Li Ying, don't worry, our Master Leng knows what he's doing. He's rumored to be bad, but Master Leng never lays a hand on a woman." Ah Hu was willing to swear on his life.
Li Ying also realized that she had been judging others by her own petty standards.
Leng Yan helped Lu Yufei into the car; she was completely out of her mind and had slumped into a limp heap.
