Chapter 138: Holding a wedding?
Jiang Xu didn't hear a word of the following interview. She stared at Anna's face on the screen, feeling an indescribable sense of familiarity.
After Anna's interview was over, Jiang Xu still felt dazed.
I suspect I am having an illusion.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
At a glance, it was Chi Xiaoli calling. Why would she call at this time?
Jiang Xu didn't know that Anna's real appearance had become a hot search on major platforms.
She stood up, walked to the emergency exit, and answered the phone.
"Xubao, have you seen the trending searches? That Anna looks exactly like you, at least 80% similar."
Chi Xiaoli's voice was full of anxiety and shock.
Jiang Xu said: "I was there, I don't know what to say, it feels very strange."
"Don't you think that person looks familiar?"
Chi Xiaoli seemed to know something. "Xubao, I think I know who she is. You'll definitely feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Xu frowned: "Who?"
Chi Xiaoli took a deep breath and uttered three words: "Jiang Xueruo."
It turned out that Chi Xiaoli had secretly followed Jiang Xu's social media account for Jiang Xu a long time ago, and her social media account had recorded that she had been having plastic surgery in recent years.
"She spent nearly three years getting her face to look like yours."
Chi Xiaoli tutted her words, "You don't even need to think about it, you know why."
Jiang Xu didn't expect Jiang Xueruo to be so cruel to him.
Just as she was about to say something, Qin Zifei called. She said to Chi Xiaoli, "I'll take a call first. We'll talk next time."
After pressing the answer button, Qin Zifei's voice came: "Where are you?"
Jiang Xu said: "In the audience."
Qin Zifei: "Come to the third-floor reception room. Professor Liu Chengyang from University B is here. Didn't you say last time that you were interested in his paper?"
When Jiang Xu heard this, he immediately said, "I'll be there right away."
When they arrived at the reception room, Qin Zifei immediately waved to her. Just as Jiang Xu was about to walk over, she saw the tall figure standing not far away.
Obviously, He Yanting also saw her and raised his eyebrows slightly at her.
Jiang Xu pretended not to see and walked to Qin Zifei.
Principal Qin was also there, and he smiled and said to Liu Chengyang, "This is Jiang Xu, Zifei's wife, a doctor of biomedical sciences."
Liu Chengyang greeted Jiang Xu politely.
At this time, there were several professors from various universities nearby.
They looked at Qin Zifei and Jiang Xu and praised them, "Principal Qin, your nephew and niece-in-law are both excellent and look a perfect match."
Principal Qin said, "Yes, I think so too."
He suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Zifei: "By the way, did you have your wedding?"
Qin Zifei shook his head: "No."
Principal Qin said, "That's good. A few days ago, the old lady said she wanted to see you hold your wedding. Since you haven't held one yet, why not hold the wedding while Zifei is still in the country?"
Qin Zifei said awkwardly, "Isn't this a bit hasty?"
Principal Qin waved his hand: "There's nothing I can do. I can't let your grandma down."
Qin Zifei opened his mouth, speechless, and looked at Jiang Xu apologetically. Jiang Xu shook his head at him and told him to stop talking.
"Principal Qin's nephew is having a wedding?"
A magnetic voice suddenly sounded, and He Yanting walked over with a wine glass in hand.
There was an ambiguous smile on his face.
Principal Qin smiled and said, "Yes, if Mr. He is free, you can come over for a drink."
He Yanting twitched his lips slightly and said, "Since Principal Qin has invited me so kindly, I will definitely go. Please be sure to send me an invitation when the time comes."
"It's Zifei's honor that Mr. He can come."
Principal Qin didn't expect that He Yanting actually agreed to attend the wedding, and was somewhat flattered.
He looked at Qin Zifei: "Zifei, why don't you thank Mr. He?"
The smile on Qin Zifei's face faded, and he extended his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. He, for your presence."
He Yanting stretched out his hand to shake his hand. There was a coldness between his eyebrows as if it were icy, but there was a polite smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure. I will offer my most sincere blessings to you and your bride."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu turned her eyes away indifferently, not meeting his gaze.
Afterwards, Jiang Xu and Professor Liu talked about the thesis. Professor Liu praised her highly and they added each other's contact information.
When she looked back, He Yanting had left at some point.
On the way back, Qin Zifei drove the car and said, "I will find a way to refuse the wedding."
Jiang Xu nodded.
Although she agreed to a fake marriage with Qin Zifei, she was not really prepared for the wedding.
After glancing at the route, he said, "Isn't this place close to the hospital where your grandma lives? Why don't we go see her?"
"good."
Qin Zifei drove to the hospital.
In the ward, Old Lady Qin's face became increasingly haggard, and her hands, like dry branches, held Jiang Xu's hands.
"Zifei is my only grandson, and he's so focused on his research. I'm really worried that I won't see him get married before I die."
"Granddaughter-in-law, thank you for coming to Zifei. Thank you for making my dream come true. Grandma knows you are very busy, but I still want to ask you for a favor."
Old Lady Qin's cloudy eyes were filled with pleading. "I want to see your wedding. I know I don't have much time left. This is my only wish before I die."
"Grandma, we are all very busy..."
Qin Zifei found an excuse.
Old Mrs. Qin showed a disappointed look and sighed: "Yeah, forget it then."
These words brought back memories from long ago for Jiang Xu.
At that time, she was only a teenager. Her grandmother was seriously ill and wanted to go to the temple to ask for a talisman for Jiang Xu.
Jiang Minghuai perfunctorily said to her: "The weather is bad recently, let's talk about it later."
Grandma couldn't hide her disappointment on her face and sighed, "Forget it then."
But this wait was endless, and grandma soon became critically ill.
Before she died, she touched Jiang Xu's face and said with tears in her eyes, "My biggest regret is that I didn't see Ruanruan grow up, and that I didn't get a peace amulet for you. I feel uneasy. If I had known, I should have passed away earlier."
Not long after she said this, she passed away with regret.
Jiang Xu woke up from her memories and saw the disappointed face of Old Lady Qin in front of her, which was the same as the grandmother in her memory.
She couldn't bear it.
"Grandma, we will have the wedding," she said with determination.
Qin Zifei looked at her in surprise.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she was very happy and her whole state of mind improved.
When the doctor came to examine the old lady, Qin Zifei pulled Jiang Xu into the corridor and asked, "How could you agree to hold a wedding? How will it end?"
Jiang Xu said, "I think this matter should be explained clearly to your family."
Qin Zifei was stunned: "You want to tell them the truth?"
Jiang Xu nodded. "It's not good to hide such a big thing from them. Besides, we need their cooperation to hold the wedding. So we can just have a small wedding so that your grandma won't have any regrets."
Qin Zifei was silent, as if thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.
After a while, he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll go and explain it to my family."
Afterwards, they went to visit Grandma Qin for a while.
Qin Zifei returned to his parents' home, intending to confess their fake marriage.
Jiang Xu watched Grandma Qin fall asleep before getting up and leaving.
I had just walked a short distance when I bumped into a nurse coming out of the next ward.
"I'm sorry, I..."
The other party immediately apologized. When the two met, the other party saw Jiang Xu's face clearly and she immediately screamed.
"sister in law!"
Jiang Xu looked at the girl in front of him, and after a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Youyun, long time no see."
