"Congratulations!" Chu Yu handed over the gift in her hand.
Qiao Ru was flattered. Wei Mingyuan's girlfriend, Zhuo Linmei, also came. As soon as Zhuo Linmei entered, she said that Qiao Ru's outfit was not good-looking and that her makeup was too heavy, making her look like a monkey's butt. She also said that Qiao Ru should buy some nice cotton-padded jackets, because a person should not compromise themselves when getting married.
Zhuo Linmei arrived empty-handed, without bringing anything, and even ridiculed Qiao Ru. On the contrary, Chu Yu, who was at odds with Qiao Ru, was very polite, bringing a gift and treating Qiao Ru with great courtesy.
Qiao Ru then realized that she had been really ignorant before. They were so ungrateful. Just because she was Qiao Zheng's sister and not familiar with Dai Donglin, they thought that Dai Donglin's girlfriend had gotten the better deal. The reason they targeted Chu Yu was simply because Chu Yu was too outstanding, which made them feel inferior and jealous!
Qiao Ru felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly and warmly invited the person into the house.
Lin Yang also arrived and was talking to Zhuo Linmei. When Zhuo Linmei saw Chu Yu, her smile was somewhat forced.
Chu Yu ignored her. Now that almost everyone had arrived, Lu Jinwen glanced at Qiao Ru and asked, "Why isn't your sister here? She's next door. Why don't you go call her?"
Qiao Shanshan lived nearby, and the whole team knew about Lu Jinwen and Qiao Ru's wedding. Although they didn't have a big banquet, they invited a few close friends and family members over for dinner. With so many people coming and going, how could Qiao Shanshan not have heard about it?
But instead of coming over to help with the cooking, she pretended not to hear and waited for someone else to invite her.
Qiao Ru was also a little unhappy, "If she doesn't want to come, then forget it."
Lu Jinwen disagreed, "Other days are fine, but today is our big day. She is your own sister. You don't have any other relatives, just this one sister. If she doesn't come, you will regret it later."
Qiao Ru felt a pang of sadness as she thought of her parents who died young and Qiao Zheng who sacrificed his life for the country.
No matter how bad Qiao Shanshan is, she's still her older sister. Since both sisters are staying in the team, they'll inevitably have to take care of each other.
Qiao Shanshan is right next door. Even if the two sisters have a falling out, they can't let the guests laugh at them!
Qiao Ru went next door and knocked on the door.
Qiao Shanshan had no choice but to open the door. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked like she had suffered a great blow. She was listless and lacked energy.
"Sis, dinner's ready," Qiao Ru called out.
Qiao Shanshan looked up at her and was completely stunned. Qiao Ru used to have bangs and was usually quiet and seemed a bit dull. Now that Qiao Ru was married, the makeup artist had swept her hair back, revealing her entire face, and she looked like a completely different person.
It turns out that Qiao Ru is not ugly at all. She has a gentle face, sweet features, and a blessed appearance.
After dressing up carefully, she also showed some of her feminine side.
This stung Qiao Shanshan even more. Qiao Shanshan had always felt that her life was better than Qiao Ru's. She was more capable and prettier than Qiao Ru. Among Qiao Zheng's two younger sisters, everyone always noticed her first. Qiao Ru was like a shadow standing in the corner, never having any presence.
But today Qiao Ru got married. Lu Jinwen married Qiao Ru. Qiao Ru is the protagonist of this wedding.
Qiao Shanshan recalled the scene of Lu Jinwen marrying her in her previous life. Qiao Ru was not present at the time, and everyone teased the newlywed couple. Lu Jinwen was also in high spirits, smiling and toasting each other, ready to welcome a wonderful life.
However, Qiao Shanshan was always unhappy after marriage and often lost her temper with Lu Jinwen. At first, Lu Jinwen would try to coax her and make her happy, but over time, Lu Jinwen gradually became silent, and the couple's relationship was not as good as before.
Qiao Shanshan set her sights on Dai Donglin, spending every day around him and constantly thinking about what he had done that day. She couldn't focus her attention on her husband, and eventually, she even refused to share a room with Lu Jinwen.
The couple had been married for several years but didn't have a child.
Qiao Shanshan didn't want to attend the wedding. "I'm not feeling well and want to sleep for a while, so I won't go."
Qiao Ru grabbed her, "Sister, our parents passed away early, and my brother is gone too. You're my only family now. No matter how much we argue, you shouldn't have thrown a tantrum at my wedding! You didn't even come to my wedding. How heartbroken our parents and brother would be to see us like this in the afterlife!"
Qiao Ru was right. Only the two sisters were left in the Qiao family. Qiao Shanshan couldn't refuse, so she could only swallow her tears and force herself to attend Qiao Ru and Lu Jinwen's wedding.
After Qiao Shanshan entered the room, Wei Mingyuan quickly invited her to sit down. The dishes on the table were prepared by the aunt in the kitchen, and there was chicken, duck, fish and meat. The dishes were particularly plentiful. Qiao Shanshan thought of her wedding banquet in her previous life, and her mood became more and more complicated.
Qiao Ru and Lu Jinwen stood up; they were the main guests today and had to toast the guests.
Lu Jinwen said with a smile, "I'd like to say a few words today. The reason why Qiao Ru and I were able to come together is because of one person: our late comrade-in-arms, Qiao Zheng! I'll start by toasting Qiao Zheng with my first drink!"
Lu Jinwen spilled the wine on the ground and poured himself another glass.
"Thank you all for your help, care, and promotion over the years! It wasn't easy for Qiao Ru and me to get together. As you all know, there are only two people left in the Qiao family: Qiao Ru and her sister. Qiao Ru is new here, so please be understanding and help her if there's anything she doesn't understand!"
Lu Jinwen drank it all in one gulp, and his other comrades also toasted with him.
Qiao Shanshan's heart was broken. In her previous life, Lu Jinwen had said something similar at their wedding banquet. At that time, she stood beside Lu Jinwen and was the main character of the banquet.
But now, she is a stranger to him. Lu Jinwen doesn't speak of her with any affection. To Lu Jinwen, she is just Qiao Ru's older sister.
