Chapter 220 Not Invited
Li Shirong and Zheng Anze's expressions changed simultaneously.
Zheng Anze: "Li Mai, what do you mean?"
Li Mai glanced at Li Shirong calmly: "I remember Mom said that she wouldn't attend my wedding, and that I shouldn't call her no matter what happens. Aren't I just following her instructions?"
Li Shirong choked.
This was when Li Mai called her before she was about to give birth, asking her to come to the hospital to help take care of the baby for a few days.
She was already unhappy with Li Mai having a child out of wedlock and felt that she was shameful.
I said those things at the time.
She never expected that one day, Li Mai would use these words to shut her up.
Zheng Anze glanced at his mother and roughly guessed what had happened.
"Li Mai, let's put those old stories behind us and get along well from now on."
"Get along well?"
Li Mai found it ironic.
She still remembers what Li Shirong said back then.
“Li Mai, you got pregnant before you were even married. Because of you, I can’t even hold my head up in front of my relatives.”
"You still want me to take care of your child? What are you thinking? Let me tell you, whether you live or die is none of my business. I'll pretend I never raised you."
“I won’t go to your wedding. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Who would marry you with a child in tow?”
"In short, no matter what happens in the future, don't call me."
Li Mai still remembers Li Shirong's cold words, and every time she thinks about them, she feels sad.
Zheng Anze said we should get along well in the future?
How can we get along well?
They didn't consider her family from the bottom of their hearts; that's why they approached her.
It's likely that Li Shirong felt she was getting old and wanted Zheng Anze to take care of her in her old age, thus easing Zheng Anze's burden.
Another reason is probably because of Zhou Songyan.
Li Shirong felt that maintaining a good relationship with the Zhou family would be helpful to her son.
Zheng Anze has always been the most important person in Li Shirong's heart.
Li Shirong stood up: "Anze, let's go. It's not like we're so eager to attend her wedding. Without her family, it's her who's embarrassed, not us."
Zheng Anze pulled Li Shirong back: "Mom, don't hold it against Li Mai, you still have to attend the wedding."
Zheng Anze looked at Li Mai: "Say a few kind words to Mom."
Li Mai rolled her eyes.
Zheng Anze: "..."
Li Shirong was furious.
"Look at her, with her like that, I'm not going to the wedding."
Li Shirong stormed out.
Zheng Anze gave Li Mai a reproachful look and hurriedly went after Li Shirong.
...
Once in the car, Zheng Anze sighed helplessly, "Mom, are you really not going to Li Mai's wedding?"
Li Shirong really wanted to attend the wedding, but she was too embarrassed to go.
"That brat doesn't want us to participate, what can I do?"
I don't know if Sheng Zhaohui was invited.
...
Sheng Zhaohui was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Li Shirong.
Li Shirong asked, "Are you going to a wedding tomorrow?"
The Zhou family has always kept a low profile, but news of this wedding had spread two months in advance, and the Zhou family invited half of Beijing.
Sheng Zhaohui was silent for a moment before saying, "They didn't invite me. I talked to Li Mai a few days ago and offered to accompany her to Zhou Songyan at the wedding, but she refused."
"She also said that she hadn't arranged a seat for me and told me not to go."
Sheng Zhaohui is still angry when he thinks about it.
Li Shirong felt a little better.
It's good that she wasn't the only one who got rejected.
Sheng Zhaohui: "You weren't invited either?"
Li Shirong snorted and stubbornly said, "I don't want to participate at all, I'm hanging up!"
Sheng Zhaohui: "..."
On the second day of the wedding, Sheng Zhaohui and Li Shirong went with a sullen face.
They were stopped outside and not allowed to enter, which made the two of them so angry that their faces turned ashen.
Li Shirong: "This brat is determined to cut ties with us."
Sheng Zhaohui sighed heavily.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have kept her by my side from the beginning."
Li Shirong rolled her eyes: "Hindsight is 20/20!"
Li Shirong turned around and almost bumped into someone.
Han Ying looked at her unhappily: "Be careful when you walk."
Li Shirong: "Who told you to suddenly appear behind us?"
Han Ying: "It's clearly because you're not watching where you're going."
Li Shirong wanted to say something, but Sheng Zhaohui stopped her.
He said to the woman opposite him, "Han Ying, are you here for the wedding? Please lead us in."
Sheng Zhaohui knew Han Ying.
Li Shirong looked at the elegant and graceful woman opposite her.
She wouldn't mind if the other party could take her inside.
Han Ying glanced at Li Shirong.
"who is she?"
Sheng Zhaohui: "She is Li Mai's mother."
Han Ying was somewhat surprised.
Sheng Zhaohui explained, "Li Mai is my daughter with Li Shirong."
"What? Li Mai is your daughter?"
Sheng Zhaohui nodded.
Han Ying's face darkened: "So you're saying Li Mai is an illegitimate child! Ha, an illegitimate child wants to marry my son? Zhou Jingtian must be crazy to agree to this."
No, she had to stop them from getting married.
Li Mai must never marry her son!
Her son is so outstanding, he could marry any girl he wanted, why did he have to marry an illegitimate daughter?
Even if Li Mai gave birth to a child for the Zhou family, so what? There are plenty of women who can have children.
Han Ying walked straight inside, but was stopped by a security guard: "Madam, you cannot enter without an invitation."
Han Ying's expression changed: "Get out of the way, I am the groom's mother."
The security guard didn't move.
"Madam, please leave. Mr. Zhou said you cannot go in."
Han Ying: "..."
She didn't believe it.
"My son would never say such a thing! Get out of my way, I want to go in!"
The security guard didn't budge: "Madam, please leave!"
Li Shirong pouted: "So she can't get in after all this time."
Sheng Zhaohui never expected Zhou Songyan to be so ruthless, not even allowing his own mother to enter.
Han Ying lost her temper, abandoning all pretense of being a wealthy lady, and used her handbag to hit the security guard as she struggled to get inside.
Two people suddenly appeared from the side and dragged Han Ying away.
Sheng Zhaohui and Li Shirong: "..."
The two left silently.
...
Wedding scene.
Li Mai, arm in arm with Zhou Songyan, slowly walked towards the crowd.
Chengcheng, dressed in a tuxedo, walked behind, carrying a small basket and scattering flower petals as he went.
"That child is so cute and adorable!"
"You don't know, do you? That child's identity is not simple."
"Oh, whose child is this?"
"That's the Crown Prince's biological son, a child from the Zhou family!"
"Huh? When did the Crown Prince get such a big son?"
"The bride gave birth to him. The young master and this Miss Li were boyfriend and girlfriend six years ago, but they broke up due to a misunderstanding. Miss Li was already pregnant with the young master's child at that time, and she has raised the child alone all these years."
"My God! There's such a thing! No wonder that child looks somewhat like the Crown Prince."
Zhang Jingran cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling.
Wow! My cousin's wife is so beautiful! I want to marry her.
Zhou Qianlian slapped her and said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Zhang Junzheng, who was standing to the side, said: "My cousin's wife is indeed beautiful. I will look for someone like her when I look for a wife in the future."
Zhou Qianlian looked at her approvingly: "You finally said something I like to hear."
