Chapter 376: 145 The king bomb card was smashed to pieces by the old lady (second update) _3
That face made many people in the audience exclaim in surprise.
Ji Heng silently placed Ji Mulan’s hand into Xu En’s, who was dressed in a black suit.
The scene seemed somewhat touching.
Bai Lian looked at Ji Mulan’s face for quite a while before finally turning her head away lazily, fine, although that face resembled her mother’s, she really did not feel like she was watching her own mother get married.
When her mother got married, she wore a phoenix crown and a robe adorned with auspicious clouds, and her wedding procession extended for miles.
She had heard that back then, her grandfather had excitedly grabbed her father’s hand, thanking him for finally bringing the bride home.
**
The wedding ceremony was lengthy and lively.
The sound system was turned up loud, so Bai Lian closed the summary and started talking with Jiang Fulai; the waiters also began to serve the dishes one by one.
When Ji Heng returned, Director Chen and Shen Min started drinking with him.
All three men were heavy drinkers, and they kept on without a break.
After the ceremony was over, Xu En had to thank the guests along with Ji Mulan. Mrs. Xu, who had been anxiously sitting at the main table, finally found an opportunity. Holding a wine glass, she stood up, her face beaming with a smile as she said to Ji Mulan, “Mu Lan, welcome to the Xu Family. Later, come with us back to the old house for a visit.”
Ji Mulan had been doing her makeup in the back all this time and didn’t quite understand what stance the old lady was taking, which left her a bit confused.
“Let’s go,” Mrs. Xu didn’t continue to talk to her, instead, she looked towards the next table and urged Xu En to hurry, “Go and say thanks to Elder Chen and the others.”
“I… I’ll go too,” Xu Zhiyue said softly to Xu Wenyao as she came over from the relatives’ table.
She was holding a cup of beverage.
Xu Wenyao glanced at her, yet he was not surprised.
Xu En picked up a wine glass and another jug of wine, leading a group of people to Bai Lian’s table.
Only then did Ji Mulan notice Director Chen. She didn’t talk nonsense at such an occasion, with Mrs. Xu intently watching Director Chen and Shen Min.
After Xu En finished speaking, she finally found the chance to say her first words to Director Chen and Shen Min, “Today, I was unaware of the presence of such distinguished guests and may have been neglectful. As an apology, I shall drink three cups on my own.”
Old Mrs. Xu filled her cup and bravely drank three cups in one go.
Only then did her gaze shift towards Bai Lian, who was sitting in a corner. Bai Lian was looking down, fiddling with her phone, and from this angle, one couldn’t see Bai Lian’s face clearly.
But at this moment, Mrs. Xu didn’t dare to suggest introducing her to the Yu Family.
