The night before the wedding, Xiaoduo insisted on sleeping with her mother.
With her daughter about to become someone else's family, how could Zhao Qinglan bear to refuse her daughter's small request?
After washing up and lying down early, the mother and daughter started talking.
“Your mother-in-law is a good person, and Yunting is a good boy. They treat you well, so you can’t be willful. I don’t expect you to be a perfect daughter-in-law who takes care of the family. I just want you to be happy with Yunting and to be filial to your mother-in-law.”
"Mom, I know."
"In the blink of an eye, my daughter is about to get married. I really can't bear to part with you," Zhao Qinglan said with emotion.
"If I can't bear to leave, I often go home to stay."
“Silly girl, once you’re married, you can’t always do whatever you want. Of course, Mom hopes you’ll come back to live with us, but we also need to consider Yunting’s feelings.”
"Mom, don't worry, he supports whatever I do."
"Your belly isn't showing yet, but have you thought about what will happen when it gets bigger?"
"Mom, I will definitely continue to work, and you can't stop me from that." The thought of her just wanting to stay home and prepare for childbirth until the baby is born is unacceptable to her.
Moreover, she can't let go of her company.
"Mom didn't stop you, but you have to discuss everything with Yunting. The most important thing for a couple is communication." This is experience she has accumulated over two lifetimes.
“We’ve talked about this. After we get married, we’ll settle down in Beijing. But Yunting goes back to the US several times a year. I can’t go back with him right now. In the future, I’ll accompany him back to the US for a while each year.”
“That’s good. After all, your mother-in-law still lives in the US long-term, and Yun Ting’s company is also there. You can’t be too selfish. If you think about them, they will treat you better.”
Xiaoduo actually understands the reasons, but she also finds her mother's nagging helpful.
If it weren't for her own mother, who would tirelessly repeat these things that might be unpleasant to hear?
Because they had to get up early the next day, the mother and daughter went to bed early without saying anything about staying up too late.
Xiaoduo was woken up at five o'clock in the morning.
The makeup artist arrived to do her makeup, and Zhao Qinglan went to get ready herself.
They lived in the courtyard house. Zhao Qingzhu's family and Zhao Qingju, who had arrived with her son yesterday, also lived there. In addition, there were Sun Shi, Madam Sun, and others. The courtyard was incredibly lively.
The eldest brother and his brothers didn't want to come over and watch their sister get ready, but Ji Rou and Yu Xiang didn't mind.
Several of her cousins also came over to join in the fun and watch Xiaoduo's transformation.
Xiao Jin'er was the youngest among the onlookers.
She's almost two years old now, and she can already speak in short sentences. Calling people is a piece of cake for her. She looks cute and smart, and I don't know how many elders and older siblings she has won the love of.
Although he hasn't met his aunt Xiaoduo many times, it doesn't stop the little guy from knowing who she is.
This is also thanks to Ji Rou and Da Wa. Fearing that their daughter wouldn't even recognize her closest family members, they would patiently take out family photos and point to each person to tell her who was in them.
The little girl is very clever. When she saw Zhao Qinglan and the others again, she didn't feel unfamiliar with any of them, which made the whole family even happier.
After Xiaoduo finished her makeup and put on her wedding dress, a beautiful bride was born.
"Auntie is pretty." Little Jin'er praised, holding her little hand. Her childlike cuteness made many people laugh.
"Thank you, our little Jin'er! Jin'er is very cute too!" Xiao Duo replied with a smile.
The little girl was incredibly proud of the praise.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai were already dressed and talking with their family outside. When they saw Xiao Duo all ready, they felt a little sad.
When news came from outside that the groom had arrived, they became even more heartbroken.
Da Wa and the others couldn't settle scores with Zhou Yunting before, so they held onto their grudges until today.
Lan Song and Zhou Yunting's other friend who came to the wedding served as best man, and together with the Zhou family's cousins who were photographed today, they went to pick up the bride.
The group experienced the immense challenge of welcoming the bride.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, it was Zhao Qinglan who reminded her sons not to go too far, lest they miss the auspicious time. Only then did the brothers finally let Zhou Yunting pass.
Upon seeing his beautiful bride, Zhou Yunting grinned like a complete fool.
However, he is handsome, and even when he smiles foolishly, he still looks dashing.
After he carried Xiaoduo away and got into the car, and escorted her to her family members at the door, even though she knew she would see them again at the hotel soon, Zhao Qinglan was the first to tear up.
Seeing her mother's tears, Xiaoduo couldn't help but choke up herself.
It was only after everyone advised her that on such a joyous occasion, the bride shouldn't cry, that Xiaoduo managed to hold back her tears.
Once the groom's party had set off, Zhao Qinglan and her group quickly took a car to the hotel.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai still have many guests to receive.
The Zhou family also has quite a few guests to entertain.
Yi Ningxiang also stood by her ex-husband's side, which was quite rare for her.
Those who know about the Zhou family's affairs, even if they see the two of them standing together today, will not be so tactless as to bring up their past, but will only offer their blessings.
As the guests arrived one after another, they all went inside and sat down, and the wedding ceremony was about to begin.
The beautiful bride, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, was handed over to Zhou Yunting by her father, Li Huai, who was dressed in military uniform.
"Treat my daughter well, or you'll see."
Despite being threatened by his father-in-law, Zhou Yunting showed no displeasure. Instead, he solemnly said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiaoduo well."
As the bride and groom held hands, the guests below the stage applauded and offered their blessings.
At this time, Xiaoduo's belly was only a little over two months old, and it wasn't showing yet. People who didn't know the situation couldn't tell that she was pregnant at all.
Xiaoduo's employees have now truly realized how powerful their boss's family background is, and they feel even more that their company has a bright future, which has strengthened their resolve to work hard.
Zhao Qinglan couldn't hold back her tears as her daughter became someone else's family.
But seeing her daughter find her own happiness, she was overjoyed.
In her past life, she was heartbroken by what her daughter Xiaoduo went through, and all she hoped for was for her daughter to be safe and well.
Through her efforts, her daughter grew up happily, and those dark things no longer troubled her for the rest of her life.
She doesn't know if her husband found their daughter and took good care of her after she passed away in her past life.
She only hoped that her daughter could continue to be this happy for the rest of her life.
Others couldn't understand the feelings she had accumulated over two lifetimes; only Li Huai, her husband, truly understood.
He took his wife's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, Xiaoduo will be happy."
Zhao Qinglan nodded firmly.
The older children standing nearby, perhaps influenced by their mother's emotions, also seemed somewhat distressed.
Families getting married are overjoyed, but those marrying off their daughters may not be so happy.
It is said that marriage is a woman's second life, so how could a family member who truly loves their daughter not worry?
The eldest son, looking at his still very young daughter, was already starting to worry about what would happen when she got married.
