Several pairs of eyes immediately looked towards the person who was speaking. It was a mother in the family compound who had a good relationship with Jiang Jing.
The other party's father-in-law is a cousin of Pei Yang's father.
"Is it true?" Shen Baolan's eyes were burning with gossip.
The man regretted what he said as soon as he said it. After all, Shen Baolan in front of him was a lesson for him, and his best friend Jiang Jing also had a bad ending at the hands of Shen Mingzhu.
But on second thought, she was not talking nonsense. That night, she and Jiang Jing saw with their own eyes that Shen Mingzhu was sent back to the family compound by this man, and the two of them even talked to each other while standing by the car.
Thinking about this, the man told what he saw that night.
When several people heard this, they immediately started talking like a boiling pot, "Oh my god, she is so bold, she actually dared to invite her lover to the wedding? Isn't she afraid that Pei Yang will find out?"
Shen Baolan sneered, "What is she afraid of? Pei Yang is useless anyway. He is invited to drink and help with the wedding night or something."
After he finished speaking, everyone at the table covered their mouths and laughed.
The strange laughter attracted the attention of other guests. Shen Mingzhu also heard the noise and turned her head to look over here.
As soon as she saw Shen Baolan laughing so hard that her body was shaking, she guessed that she must have been holding back her fart, but she was too lazy to pay attention.
She was just about to take Yan Yi and Ning Yuan to sit down when Chen Liang hurried in and said that Pei Wenping was looking for her.
Pei Ziheng took the initiative to take on the important task of greeting Yan Yi and Ning Yuan, and despite his young age he showed extraordinary calmness and understanding.
Shen Mingzhu patted her son's head with relief, apologized to the uncle and nephew, and followed Chen Liang out.
Pei Ziheng led the uncle and nephew to the seat with a sign that read "girlfriend's friend".
Ning Yuan liked Pei Ziheng very much, and after sitting down, he started to joke with Pei Ziheng.
Yan Yi listened with one ear and another, picked up the menu on the table and looked at it casually, then looked at the wedding banquet layout casually.
Judging from his vision and taste, the quality of the wedding banquet was obviously not up to par, but upon closer inspection, he would discover a lot of thoughtful details.
As a man himself, through these details he can feel a man's love and cherishment for his wife.
She is indeed worthy of being cherished.
…
Outside the hotel.
Shen Mingzhu came to Pei Wenping and asked what was the matter. Pei Wenping had no idea what to answer and could only make up some stories about some of Pei's relatives.
After a while, Zhong Qing arrived.
Perhaps because she didn't want to steal the limelight from Shen Mingzhu, Zhong Qing dressed very low-key today. She wore a light brown knitted jacket and a black and white striped skirt. Her hair was draped behind her head and she didn't wear any jewelry. But even though she was dressed simply, it couldn't conceal her temperament as a lady from a noble family.
Shen Mingzhu personally led Zhong Qing into the restaurant and asked them to sit down.
Zhong Qing looked at her carefully as they walked, her light brown eyes showing surprise and admiration, "You look beautiful today."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said thank you.
Zhong Qing held her arm and said unintentionally, "I thought you would wear the wedding dress I gave you."
"That wedding dress is too fancy and not suitable for me."
"You haven't even worn it, so how do you know it doesn't fit? Perhaps you underestimate yourself."
Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly, "I know my own worth. I am just an ordinary person. Even if I put on a dragon robe, I can't become a prince. Why should I create shackles and unhappiness for myself?"
Zhong Qing smiled, "You don't have to underestimate yourself. You have good taste, and the wedding dress you are wearing is also very beautiful."
As they were talking, the two of them entered the restaurant.
Seeing Ning Yuan waving towards them, Shen Mingzhu thought he was greeting her, so she led Zhong Qing over.
"Sister Qing."
It was not until she walked closer and heard Ning Yuan greeting Zhong Qing that Shen Mingzhu realized belatedly that Ning Yuan and Zhong Qing knew each other.
Zhong Qing also did not intend to continue hiding her relationship with Yan Yi. "Mingzhu, let me formally introduce you. This Mr. Yan is my fiancé."
Shen Mingzhu's gaze moved back and forth between Zhong Qing and Yan Yi twice, and finally calmed down.
Looking at Shen Mingzhu's leaving back, Zhong Qing said to Yan Yi with some disappointment, "She seems angry."
Yan Yi did not comment, "It's obvious."
Seeing that Yan Yi was not going to help her, Zhong Qing turned her head to look at Pei Ziheng who was sitting next to her.
Pei Ziheng was also looking at her, his dark eyes unblinking. He seemed cute and adorable, but he was secretly guessing Zhong Qing's purpose in approaching his mother.
Zhong Qing spoke to him gently, "Can you help me with something?"
Pei Ziheng remained calm, "You are here to attend my mother's wedding, I should treat you well."
Zhong Qing was amused by his serious look, "You are so sensible. Can you help me comfort your mother? Today is her wedding, and I don't want her to be unhappy."
"Since you knew that Mom would be unhappy, why did you hide the fact that you were Uncle Yan's fiancée from Mom?"
"I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to find an appropriate time to tell her about it."

Outside the hotel.
Shen Mingzhu was not angry about Zhong Qing hiding her relationship with Yan Yi, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
This also made her wonder whether Zhong Qing helped her get the loan because of Yan Yi, or even whether it was Yan Yi's instruction.
The more I think about it, the more upset I get.
"Are you tired?"
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Pei Yang held her waist with concern and asked, "Why don't you go sit in the car for a while?"
Shen Mingzhu shook her head, "No, I'm fine."
Pei Yang helped her tidy up the messy hair around her ears, and squeezed her palm, "Are you cold? There is a coat in the car, I'll get it for you."
Shen Mingzhu shook her head again, and saw Pei Ziheng coming out of the hotel out of the corner of her eye, so she perked up and walked over.
"Why did you come out?"
"Mother."
Pei Ziheng held her hand and repeated Zhong Qing's words verbatim.
After listening to this, Shen Mingzhu's mood suddenly improved a little.
Just because Zhong Qing asked her son to come out and help explain the situation as soon as possible, she was willing to believe that Zhong Qing was sincere to her and was not approaching her with ulterior motives.
…
Shen Baolan had been secretly watching Yan Yi's table. As soon as she saw Pei Ziheng leave, she immediately came over.
"You all know Mingzhu. I've never seen you before."
Looking at Shen Baolan who sat down in a very familiar manner, the three of them remained silent.
Seeing Shen Baolan's eyes moving around, Yan Yi smiled faintly and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Shen Baolan hurriedly introduced herself and Shen Mingzhu as being from the same village. After the introduction, she suddenly changed the subject and asked Yan Yi, "What is your relationship with Mingzhu?"
Without waiting for Yan Yi to answer, Shen Baolan asked again, "Are you two having an affair?"
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Zhong Qing held her chin and looked at Yan Yi leisurely, as if waiting for his answer.
Ning Yuan held back his laughter, and was also curious about how Yan Yi would answer.
Yan Yi's face was indifferent and his voice was cool. "Hasn't anyone told you? You are ugly, but your thoughts are far uglier than your appearance. They are disgusting."
Zhong Qing was slightly surprised, then she started laughing.
It was worth the trip for her to see a gentle and gentlemanly young man from a noble family being so sharp-tongued and sarcastic.
