In the photo, PEI Yi had subtly combined the innocence of a young man and the maturity of his experience as he grew up, forming a unique aura. His eyes were filled with passion and gentleness, and anyone who saw this photo would feel as if the young man had stunned them.
The way he looked at Jiang se did not hide his love at all. The image of the two of them snuggling up to each other, the tacit understanding, and natural intimacy that was about to overflow from the internet, could be felt by everyone who saw it.
Huaxia information’s report was like a dessert before a proper meal. It caused Jiang SE’s wedding to be hyped up once again. The wedding was about to start, and many people were already looking forward to how the two of them would look on the day of the wedding.
The location of the wedding was set to be in the Grand Hall of the imperial capital. This was a Royal Garden left behind by the Qing Dynasty. Even after the occupation of the Japanese during the Revolutionary War, it was still well preserved.
After the establishment of Hua Xia, the original unique taste of this place was improved, maintaining the characteristics of its own buildings, and at the same time, the places that had been corroded by time were repaired.
Outside was a large garden of wild plants, and the Zhongzheng Great Hall was located in the middle of the garden. The words ‘Zhongzheng Great Hall’ above the head were personally written by the Emperor when the garden was built.
Jiang se and PEI Yi’s wedding would be held here. The inside of the hall was huge. It was the place where the Emperor had gathered his ministers for a meeting when he had rested in the garden. Tables and chairs had been set up, and the decorations were almost done.
In order to prevent any hiccups on the day of the wedding, Jiang se had rehearsed with PEI Yi a few days in advance.
As the eldest grandson of the PEI family, PEI Yi’s wedding could not be sloppy at all. Even though the guest list had been carefully selected, there were still many guests invited in the end.
Jiang se had already gone through the wedding ceremony twice. As the wedding date approached, PEI jinhuai and lady PEI arrived as well. Feng Zhongliang, as the elder who would be holding Jiang SE’s hand on the day of the wedding, was naturally invited to the rehearsal as well.
He regarded the wedding as important as Jiang SE’s. After he saw Jiang se walk on stage twice in her high heels and confirmed that she had made the right decision, the wedding planner came down from the stage to invite him to accompany Jiang se.
Feng Zhongliang threw his walking stick aside and stood up with the support of his chair. His action startled Xiao Liu, who was beside him. He quickly came to help him, but he slapped Xiao Liu’s hand away.
“Grandpa.”
When Jiang se saw this, she frowned and gave him a disapproving look. He chuckled.
“If I wanted to accompany you on this trip, how could I bring a walking stick?”
“But your legs …”
His leg had been injured to begin with. As he grew older, he needed a walking stick when he went out. In recent years, he even needed someone to support him. A few days ago, he had to travel abroad to help Jiang se renovate her new home. This had put his leg at a disadvantage. This was just a rehearsal. There was no need for him to throw his walking stick away.
“Don’t be frightened by your uncle Liu’s usual words!” Feng Zhongliang turned around and glanced at Xiao Liu. Then, he turned back to Jiang se and smiled.
“It’s just a few steps. It’s not like Grandpa can’t walk anymore. Why are you so delicate?”
He climbed the stairs with some difficulty. When Jiang se reached out to help him, he even put his hand behind his back to avoid her support.
“Look, isn’t he coming up?”
It was not that he did not want to hold his granddaughter’s hand, but he was still a little nervous. He regarded this wedding as important as the PEI family’s. When he was about to hold Jiang SE’s hand, he could not help but feel excited even though he knew that this was a rehearsal.
This ceremony was different for Feng Zhongliang, especially when he thought that he had lost the right to hold his granddaughter’s hand and hand her over to PEI Yi. He did not expect that the heavy responsibility of holding her hand would fall back on him.
Therefore, even if it was a rehearsal, Feng Zhongliang wanted to do it to the best of his ability. He did not even use his walking stick. Even though the movements on stage had made the old parts of his legs sore and painful, he did not say a word.
When he reached out to hold Jiang SE’s hand, tears welled up in his eyes. She was slender and elegant. Her features were completely different from Feng Nan’s back then, but her demeanor was still the same.
“I called boss and asked him to come to the capital tomorrow night to attend the wedding.”
He spoke softly to Jiang se. The hand that held her was unusually warm.
Jiang se was taken aback. She quickly realized that the ‘boss’ Feng Zhongliang was referring to was her ‘father’, Feng qinlun. However, she did not know how to address him.
“Regardless of whether they’re already estranged, I think they’ll probably want to see you get married.”
Feng Zhongliang sounded a little sad. Jiang se was silent for a while before she replied softly, ” “Yes.”
After two rehearsals, the old master was already a little tired when he came down. Lady PEI asked worriedly, ”
uncle Feng, dad was worried about your leg a few days ago. He contacted a doctor with the surname Li for you. He’s going to come and take a look at you.
“I’ve really troubled you, old general.” Feng Zhongliang endured the pain and smiled as he said to lady PEI,
“Speaking of which, I would like to discuss something with you, Xiao ning.”
His words surprised lady PEI and her husband. As soon as he finished speaking, PEI jinhuai said, ”
“Please speak.”
it’s like this. On the day of Sese’s wedding, ah Yi and the others are going to drive to pick her up. I’m thinking that the place she’s living in now is said to be rented by Chaoqun for her, so it’s not appropriate for her to get married here. I have a house in Nan jinchen, so I’ll just stay there the night before the wedding. It’ll be more convenient for the car to pick her up the next day.
Everyone was well aware of Jiang SE’s ‘family’ environment. Her relationship with the du family had not been stiff for the past few years, but they were not close either. That was not her real ‘maiden family’. Naturally, Jiang se did not even think about getting married in the du family.
The Nan jinchen that Feng Zhongliang mentioned was the top brand in the imperial capital. Their brand specialized in villas. When they were sold to rich families, the price of each square meter of the house was sky-high, and there was often a demand but no supply.
He had invested in real estate in his early years and had bought two houses. The year before last, he had been working on the renovation, but no one had lived there. He usually hired servants to clean it.
“This bi an …”
PEI jinhuai didn’t expect him to make such a request. it’s too much trouble for you. To be honest, ah ning also has Yingluo under his name. before he could finish, Feng Zhongliang reached out and held PEI jinhuai’s wrist.
“It’s no trouble at all.” He shook his head with a serious expression.
Sese is living in this house. I’ll give it to Xiao Liu for transfer later. It’ll be my dowry for Sese. Even though PEI jinhuai and his wife had been surprised when he insisted on renovating Jiang se and PEI Yi’s new house and paid for it, it was nothing compared to the surprise they felt when they heard his words.
“Uncle Feng, please.” PEI jinhuai subconsciously looked at PEI Yi. Feng Zhongliang held his hand and said, ”
“You know, I don’t have anyone to talk to. Sese is like my own granddaughter. She’s getting married, and I’m called ‘Grandpa’ by her. Listen to me, I’ll be thick-skinned and beg you this time.”
PEI jinhuai knew Feng Zhongliang’s personality very well. He was stubborn and rarely asked for help. However, he was actually asking for help for this matter.
PEI jinhuai didn’t dare to say anything when he put on such a show, but he told old master PEI when he returned to the PEI family.
PEI jinhuai thought that old master PEI would be as shocked as he was and would call Feng Zhongliang to reject his request. PEI jinhuai was even prepared to be scolded by his father. Who knew that old master PEI would let out a long sigh after he finished speaking.
“We’ll do as he says.”
PEI jinhuai was shocked again.
After confirming this, on the 19th of September, Jiang se moved into the house that Nan Jincheng and Feng Zhongliang had transferred to her name. She was ready to get married.
A few days ago, mo Anqi and a few others had moved her things over from her rented apartment. She had invited Xia Chaoqun, mo Anqi, and the others, as well as Dai Jia, to be her bridesmaids.
In the beginning, Dai Jia was very surprised to receive Jiang SE’s call.
She was still brooding over the fact that she had killed someone and gone to jail. She was afraid that it would affect Jiang SE’s wedding negatively, but Jiang se insisted on inviting her.
Jiang se did not have many friends. However, all of them were people she had known for many years and were worth befriending.
Even though she did not have much contact with Dai Jia because of work, some friendships would still be there regardless of whether they met or not. They would not change with the passage of time or the change of status.
On the evening of the 20th, PEI Yi called him. He could not fall asleep. He had been looking forward to the wedding the next day for many years.
From the first awakening of love when he was young, to the fact that he had no choice but to marry her, he had fantasized about the wedding in his dreams countless times, and now he could finally get his wish.
He couldn’t sleep, and neither could she.
After tomorrow, she would be someone’s wife and daughter-in-law. Her long-distance love journey with PEI Yi had finally come to an end.
She rarely suffered from insomnia, but tonight, many things came to her mind.
The makeup artists were the team that Jiang se was used to using. They were resting at her house the day before the wedding. Feng Zhongliang and the others had rushed over before the sun rose. Feng qinlun and his wife were with them.
When they arrived, Jiang se had already changed into her gown. Her hair and makeup were almost done.
During the rehearsal, when Feng Zhongliang said that he had informed the couple to come over, Jiang se had already expected to see her ‘parents’. She had thought many times about the scene when she saw Feng qinlun and his wife. Would she burst into tears? would her emotions fluctuate? would she lose control of herself? would she be angry because of the knot in her childhood?
She thought about it a lot, but when she saw the couple’s polite and somewhat suppressed smiles, she felt a sense of relief.
There was no agitation, no sorrow. All those old things and all kinds of emotions seemed to have disappeared with her rebirth.
What had trapped her in the past were her haunting memories. There was no hope, no desire, and not even a single complaint.
She could tell that the smile on Mrs. Feng’s face did not reach her eyes. The nitpicking and disdain in Mrs. Feng’s eyes were hidden too deeply. However, Jiang se had been with Mrs. Feng for many years, so she knew Mrs. Feng’s personality very well.
Mrs. Feng was wearing a white knee-length dress with a Pearl-colored haute couture coat on the outside. She was carrying a handbag and was standing beside her husband with a smile and a trace of the restraint of the upper-class rich.
She had put on proper makeup and permed her hair. She looked rather presentable, but it was as if she was wearing a perfect fake mask. There was a feeling that she did not fit in with the people present. At Feng Zhongliang’s signal, she greeted Jiang se. When she saw Xia Chaoqun, she flashed a friendly smile and went up to hold Xia Chaoqun’s hand.
“Chaoqun, long time no see.”
In Mrs. Feng’s heart, the concept of class was actually quite clear.
Jiang se had been very famous in recent years. The products she endorsed and the movies she acted in were all extraordinary. However, no matter how famous she was or how popular she was, to Mrs. Feng, she was just a celebrity.
If she had not been lucky enough to marry into the PEI family and her father-in-law had called to request for the couple to go to the capital, she might not have attended the wedding of a celebrity like Jiang se even if she begged.
It was not easy to get close to the PEI family. The relationship between the Feng and PEI families had been maintained only because Feng Zhongliang was alive. However, he was old after all. Once he passed away, the connection between the Feng and PEI families would be broken. This was a good time to get close to the PEI family. When Feng qinlun heard that Feng Zhongliang had invited him and his wife to attend the wedding, he was overjoyed.
When the other three branches of the Feng family knew that they were coming to the capital to attend the wedding of the PEI family’s eldest grandson, they were extremely jealous of the couple and said that Feng Zhongliang was biased behind their backs.
Although Mrs. Feng had happily attended the wedding, she could not understand why the PEI family would agree to let PEI Yi marry a girl of such an ordinary background.
In her opinion, this marriage was just a bamboo door against a wooden door. It was just that she had been warned by her father-in-law before she left and did not dare to say much.
She held Xia Chaoqun’s hand and whispered affectionately to him. Jiang SE only took one look at him before turning her head away.
Feng Zhongliang’s face grew darker and darker. Feng qinlun could see that his father was a little unhappy. He kept wiping the sweat on his head with a handkerchief, complaining in his heart that the old man’s temper was getting weirder as he got older. He did not know what he was angry about.
After talking to Xia Chaoqun for a while, Mrs. Feng seemed to have thought of something and shot a look at her husband. Feng qinlun, who was following Feng Zhongliang around, could not stand it any longer and found an excuse to leave the room right after Mrs. Feng.
“AI.” Feng Zhongliang shook his head. He had brought Feng qinlun and his wife here for the wedding today because he had other intentions, but the couple’s behavior had disappointed him.
“Grandpa.” Jiang se went to hold his hand while mo Anqi and the others were getting their makeup done. The remaining staff left considerately after she signaled them with her eyes to give the grandfather-grandson pair some time to spend together.”I understand your intentions, but there are some things that can not be forced.”
She had only just understood this principle.
I know that you want my wedding to be accompanied by my parents and the blessings of my relatives. But to me, having your heart that thinks for me in all aspects is enough.
