Chapter 47. She rushed over directly.
Hearing his words, Chen Yaoan suddenly felt uneasy.
Indeed, she shouldn't be here at all!
There was an awkward moment in the cabin.
Xu Yan glanced at Xu Jialan and scolded him, "How dare you talk like that?"
He turned back to Chen Yao'an and said, "Sit down, don't mind him. What would you like to drink?"
"Anything is fine." She sat down on the sofa next to her.
Xu Yan made an excuse to pour her a drink, giving them some space.
Chen Yao'an remained silent in her seat until Xu Jialan took the initiative to explain, "That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect Xu Ting to bring you along."
“I understand, after all, I don’t have the right to attend your father’s wedding.” Chen Yao’an lowered her head and picked at her nails.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jialan changed seats and sat down next to her, saying, "Who said you have no status?"
The two were sitting too close, so Chen Yao'an moved to the side. When she heard him say that, she couldn't help but turn to look at him, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Xu Jialan paused for a moment, then said, "You can be my date. There will be a banquet after the wedding, and I need a date."
Chen Yaoan lowered her head, concealing the inexplicable disappointment in her eyes, "Who wants to be your date!"
He smiled, assuming she was just shy.
After flying for several hours, we finally arrived at our destination. After leaving the airport, the three of us took a two-hour car ride to our hotel.
I heard that Xu Qingbang has booked the entire hotel where they are staying, and it's full of guests who came to attend the wedding.
Chen Yao'an was once again amazed by the extravagance of the wealthy, which was truly beyond her imagination.
After entering the hotel, the group went to their respective rooms to rest.
Lying on the soft, large bed in the hotel, Chen Yaoan took a nap. When she woke up again, it was already evening, and the room was dark.
She sat on the bed for a while to calm down, until she heard a knock at the door.
She got up to open the door.
Xu Jialan stood at the door, holding a box in her hand.
Her eyes still held a hint of sleepiness.
"Just woke up?"
"Um."
He carried the box in and placed it on the table.
"What is this?"
"What to wear to the wedding tomorrow."
Chen Yaoan stepped forward, opened the box, and took a look. Inside were two exquisite little dresses, not cheap brands.
She had prepared her own clothes, but compared to these two sets, they were far inferior in both quality and design.
"A makeup artist will come to do your makeup first thing tomorrow morning, so you'd better get up early."
By the end of the day, Chen Yao'an had become accustomed to these thoughtful arrangements and agreed to them.
"Get ready, I'll take you downstairs to eat."
"good."
—
The next morning, the makeup artist came to style Chen Yao'an, and she changed her clothes first.
She chose a refreshing green halter-neck tulle dress, a simple design that was neither too formal nor lacking in respect for the occasion.
When she came out after changing, the makeup artist's eyes lit up. "This dress really suits you. Did you pick it yourself?"
"no."
"The person who picked this dress has excellent taste; it suits you perfectly. You look like a green ghost in the forest when you wear it."
"Really?" Chen Yao'an couldn't help but smile, her smile revealing undisguised sweetness.
"Of course, it also fits the theme of today's wedding."
"What's the theme of today's wedding?" Chen Yaoan asked casually.
"Flowers are in full bloom."
"Oh," she replied casually, not taking it to heart.
When it was almost time, Xu Jialan knocked on her door and took her to Aifei Manor.
As soon as the door opened, his gaze fell on Chen Yao'an, and he was taken aback, remaining silent for a long time.
Suddenly, the image of her standing on the pebbles by the river that night, catching a firefly for him, flashed into his mind, like a free and unrestrained elf.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yao'an suddenly felt uneasy under his gaze. "Doesn't it look good?"
Xu Jialan snapped out of her daze, coughed lightly with her fist to her lips, and said, "Beautiful, very beautiful."
Chen Yaoan felt relieved and immediately forgot everything else.
We got into a car from the hotel, and it drove along the coast before finally stopping at the Lovely Manor.
As soon as she got out of the car, Chen Yao'an couldn't stop looking around. The manor was built on a not-too-high cliff by the sea, in a superb location, overlooking the vast ocean.
The estate has a meticulously maintained garden with many precious flowers, plants, and trees, many of which she has never seen before.
A French-style castle was built in the middle of the manor, simple and quiet, but today's wedding broke the tranquility.
The wedding was held on a grassy area near the sea. It wasn't until Chen Yao'an reached the entrance that she realized why the theme of today's wedding was "Blooming Flowers".
There was a flower stand at the entrance, and as you walked in, it felt like you were surrounded by flowers, all made of fresh flowers.
Chen Yao'an roughly calculated that dozens of different types of flowers were used here, many of which she had never even seen before.
"Wow, your dad must have put in a lot of effort to organize this wedding," Xu Yan remarked.
Xu Jialan's face was gloomy. "I think it's not Xu Qingbang who put in the effort, but me, the stepmother, who put in a lot of effort. Xu Qingbang has gone to great lengths to let her do whatever she wants."
His gaze fell on the wedding photo posters at the entrance.
"Wang Yifei," no wonder the wedding was held here.
Chen Yaoan looked at Xu Jialan, whose face was pale, and the amazement in her heart vanished instantly, leaving only worry for him.
The three of them went inside, found a seat, and found that many guests had already arrived and were waiting for the wedding to begin.
More than half an hour later, the wedding finally began.
Chen Yao'an turned her head and found that Xu Jialan, who had been sitting next to her just moments before, was gone. She asked Xu Yan, "Did you see where Xu Jialan went?"
Xu Yan also looked confused, "I didn't see it."
The two searched around, but couldn't find him.
At this point, the bride had already taken the stage, and the emcee began the ceremony.
Wedding ceremonies are always pretty much the same. After most of the ceremony was over, the emcee announced, "Now, please let the newlyweds exchange rings."
No one expected that, at this point in the wedding, someone would suddenly interrupt, "Wait a minute, I object to their marriage!"
The sound was sharp and abrupt.
Chen Yaoan looked to the side of the stage, where Xu Jialan was standing, holding a microphone in one hand and with the other hand in her pants pocket.
She watched him walk casually onto the stage, seemingly unconcerned about the wedding, as if he were deliberately trying to create a discordant episode.
Xu Yan and she exchanged a glance, neither of them knowing what he was up to.
Seeing Xu Jialan approach, Xu Qingbang knew he was up to no good. He stared at him intently and said, "You unfilial son, what the hell are you planning to do?"
Wang Yifei looked at Xu Jialan anxiously and urged Xu Qingbang, "You need to control your son!"
She wouldn't allow anyone to ruin her perfect wedding.
Xu Jialan ignored them completely and went on to state his purpose for the day: "I have something I want to show you all today, to liven things up."
He glanced down at the audience.
Someone then took a stack of A4 papers and distributed them to the guests below.
Xu Qingbang stepped forward and grabbed Xu Jialan's shoulder, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Xu Jialan shook off his hand and continued, "The woman who is marrying my father today is my mother's mistress who was with him when she was still alive. They even had an illegitimate child, who is sitting in the audience right now."
Everyone loves a good show, and the guests below the stage immediately started talking, almost drowning out Xu Qing, who was also sitting in the audience.
He clenched his fists and stared at Xu Jialan on the stage, his face flushed.
Xu Jialan was not afraid at all. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him with provocation in her eyes.
The next second, Xu Qing rushed onto the stage, stood next to Xu Jialan, and whispered, "Brother, please don't say these things. Mom and Dad finally got married..."
Xu Jialan showed him no respect whatsoever, refuting his "brother" address in front of everyone, and mockingly said, "I don't have a younger brother. My mother only gave birth to me, her only son."
Xu Qingbang was furious and couldn't help coughing. "Get him out of here right now!"
Given their family background and social standing, it's not surprising that they would keep mistresses, but to announce it so publicly is to trample on the Xu family's reputation.
Xu Qing clenched his fist, and the next second he actually pulled Xu Jialan off the stage.
Xu Jialan has achieved his goal: to humiliate Wang Yifei and her son so that they can never recover their dignity!
He let Xu Qing pull him away without resisting.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yaoan immediately stood up from her seat and chased after him.
Xu Qing pulled Xu Jialan to a secluded spot and questioned him, "Brother, why did you do this?"
Xu Jialan couldn't stand his hypocritical act, so she grabbed his collar and warned, "I told you, don't call me brother! It's disgusting!"
"And you must always remember that you are an illegitimate child!"
Illegitimate child! Illegitimate child!
Everyone calls him that, and Xu Qing hates those three words the most!
He clenched his teeth, his face flushed, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he punched Xu Jialan in the face, then grabbed his collar and roared, "I've already told you, I'm not an illegitimate child!"
Xu Jialan completely ignored him and repeated with a smile, "You are an illegitimate child!"
Xu Qing's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at him fiercely, then suddenly kicked Xu Jialan in the stomach.
Xu Jialan didn't expect him to actually go all out. He kicked her so hard that she knelt on the ground, clutching her stomach and unable to get up for a long time, her forehead covered in sweat.
That's really ruthless!
He never expected that Xu Qing, who seemed so timid, was actually so ruthless.
But Xu Jialan still wouldn't let it go, saying, "Let me tell you, you'll never be able to shake off the label of being an illegitimate child in your entire life!"
Xu Qing seemed to have been suddenly provoked, shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"
Having no suitable tools at hand, he looked down and found a stone on the ground, which he held in his hand.
Chen Yaoan rushed over, panting, and saw Xu Qing holding a stone and walking towards Xu Jialan, who was kneeling on the ground, unable to get up.
She broke out in a cold sweat in shock, and in the next second her body acted faster than her brain, rushing over directly.
