"Okay! His elder sister, this person is not a plant or a tree, who can be heartless? This just shows that our Boyi is a person who values friendship and loyalty, don't you think? His elder sister, don't be too anxious, if something goes wrong, we will find a way to solve it."
Wen Dazui saw Boyi's elder sister swaying back and forth in front of him anxiously, and she tried to calm her down.
"Not anxious? How can I not be anxious? There are relatives and friends all over the yard. How can I explain this to them?"
Boyi's elder sister spoke loudly to Wen Dazui, and she was also a little excited with anger.
"Oh! You said I was impatient, but I didn't expect you to be even more impatient than me. Didn't Shumei just say that? Let them all eat and drink well, and then go their separate ways."
Seeing that Boyi’s elder sister was very emotional, Wen Dazui quickly took over the conversation.
“This—this—”
Boyi's eldest sister looked at Shumei, who was sitting there with a sad face, and then looked at Wen Dazui.
Hearing this, Shumei looked up at Boyi's eldest sister, slowly stood up and grasped her hands. "Sister, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. It's Boyi and I who are wrong to make you worry, but I'm in such a bad state right now that it's really hard for me to go out and meet relatives and friends. It's so late, let relatives and friends start eating first, and I'll go to each table to toast. Even if Boyi is not here, I will do my best to make this wedding banquet a success."
Under such circumstances, it is commendable that Shumei can still do this.
Boyi's eldest sister nodded in response and went out to invite the guests to start eating.
Many friends and relatives asked why they didn't see the groom and when the bride and groom would come out to toast.
She could only evade the question and stammer perfunctorily say - it will be soon.
Wen Dazui fetched a basin of water for Shumei, and she washed her face with cold water to refresh herself and look less haggard. She simply scrubbed the dirt off her body and tidied her messy hair.
Wen Dazui looked at Shumei, whose eyes were red, and asked weakly, "Shumei, are you okay?"
"Sister Huimei, I'm fine."
She forced a smile, glanced at her haggard self in the mirror, and silently said to herself: Kang Shumei, you can do it, nothing can stop you. You can't fall down, this family still needs you, Boyi still needs you.
She was cheering herself up. After reciting silently, she took a deep breath and stood up from the chair.
"Sister Huimei, please get me a bottle of wine and a glass! I'm going to toast the folks."
"Bo Yi is not here. How about I get you a drink?"
With so many guests in the yard, if everyone was toasting, Shumei wouldn't be able to hold out. Wen Dazui was worried about Shumei and was trying to find a solution for her.
"Sister Huimei, since they are willing to attend my wedding with Boyi, how can we neglect them? Don't worry, I'm fine. Boyi's alcohol tolerance is far worse than mine. He always gets drunk every time he drinks."
Shumei looked relaxed and said to Wen Dazui with a smile.
Wen Dazui didn't know what to say anymore. He took the wine and the glass and accompanied Shumei to the yard to toast relatives and friends.
"Come, come, the bride is here to toast everyone."
Wen Dazui helped to call the table and the guests, who were enjoying their meal, turned their attention to Shumei.
Shumei held a full glass of wine and looked at the guests with a smile.
"Uncle, Second Aunt, Aunt Wang, Brother Jingyuan...all of you enjoy yourselves, there's plenty of wine. Come, I'll toast everyone."
Everyone looked at Shumei with strange eyes.
"No - this - where is Boyi? Where is the groom? Why are you alone?" a guest asked.
"Bo Yi was delayed by something and can't make it back today. I'm really sorry to everyone. I'll drink Boyi's drink for him."
As Shumei spoke, she filled the cup in her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm done. You guys can do whatever you want. Enjoy yourselves."
"This - this - no matter how big the event is, you can't even be absent from your own wedding! This is also -" The guests obviously couldn't accept this kind of wedding banquet without a groom, and they stammered and complained to Boyi.
"Uncle, if Boyi could come back, he would definitely come back. This incident happened suddenly! Please forgive me and don't spoil everyone's fun."
Shumei was not in a hurry, so why should they be in a hurry? Everyone drank the wine in their glasses and sat down to continue eating and drinking.
Shumei and Wen Dazui turned around and went to the next table.
Shumei toasted and explained the situation to each table. The guests were initially surprised and confused, but eventually became indifferent and continued to eat and drink.
Sure enough, the earth will continue to rotate without anyone.
The guests no longer cared whether Boyi came or not, and they all left one by one after eating and drinking their fill.
At this moment, Shumei was the only one feeling uncomfortable. She had clearly drunk a lot of wine, but her mind was still clear. Her mind was still a mess, and the more she tried to sort it out, the more confused it became.
A wedding banquet without a groom ended just like that.
Shumei officially moved into Boyi's house and became the mistress of the house.
But her wedding night was so desolate. It was not like other people's weddings where friends and relatives came to make a noise. The bridal chamber was cold and deserted.
She had already coaxed the two children to sleep, but looking at the joyful room, she didn't feel a bit of happiness.
She sat on the bed, feeling the silence of the night.
She even hoped that Boyi would suddenly come back and appear in front of her.
As for Fu Jun, without Xiaomei as a stumbling block, they are like fish in water.
Boyi sat in the barber shop, thinking about every little thing he had done with Qianqian. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more his heart ached.
He sat on the sofa like a zombie, refusing to eat or drink, and completely lost the will to live. If he didn't want to see Wang Hao brought to justice with his own eyes, he would probably have really lost his mind.
