The weather was cold, and the wedding banquet was held in the largest banquet hall in the villa. It has been pointed out that the banquet hall was quite old, and the entire villa was rebuilt according to the original location of the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was built in the western architectural style. It was also mentioned that the original place had been a military club, which was later bought and rebuilt by a businessman. The nearby courtyard was expanded and transplanted with the original pine trees, slowly forming the present Pine Garden Villa.
The cost of hosting an event at Pine Garden Villa wasn’t low. Apart from wedding banquets, it normally doesn’t receive that many guests. Yun Xi had been there once in her previous life. Ten years ago, the difference in the garden was quite significant compared to what it is now. Compared to when she recalled the Pine Garden Villa in her memory, the villa now had a bit more of the quietness and scholarly feeling of a countryside villa.
As it was a western-style building, the wedding should have followed more of a western-style. However, it was Yun Yuanfeng and Lin Shuhua’s second marriage, and both of them liked the red and festive furnishings. The banquet hall was decorated in a Chinese and Western fusion style, with red lanterns, red curtains, a red carpet, and red wedding words. Under the bright yellow light, the red was a little strange.
“Darling, I feel like I’m in a horror movie.”
Yun Xi nodded. She felt the same way. However, because more and more guests had arrived, the atmosphere seemed to be extremely lively, which was why it is a bit less eerie.
“It will be more lively as more people turn up.”
She lifted her eyes and looked at the two flights of stairs that led from the second floor to the first floor in the middle of the living room. Red gauze hung from the railing of the stairs, and red lanterns were hung on both sides of the stairs. People were coming down from the second floor. From above, all the guests could be seen at one glance. Once they made their appearance, they could stand on the stairs and become the focus of everyone’s attention. At the same time, this could satisfy Yun Yuanfeng and Lin Shuhua’s sense of superiority by looking down on everyone.
When she saw these stairs, Yun Xi couldn’t help but sneer. These two really knew how to choose a place!
Yun Xi scanned the guests around her and found her Second Aunt, who was chatting with her friends, and Yun Haozhe, who was walking toward her.
“Sis, you’re late. I thought you weren’t coming!” Yun Haozhe walked up to her. This adolescent boy had grown up so quickly that he was already taller than her!
“How can I not come to my dad’s wedding? Isn’t this a joke?” Yun Xi tugged at Yun Haozhe’s arm and softly reminded him. “There are so many guests here. Be careful of your parents. You’re already a big boy, so you have to shoulder the responsibility. Understand?”
“I know, I’ve been keeping an eye on them. Don’t worry! On the other hand, I see that several aunties have brought their daughters over. Be careful, and don’t let anyone bully you!”
Yun Xi nodded. “Alright. You should know that your older sister isn’t that easy a target. Today, we are the host family, so they won’t dare act recklessly. You can attend to your own things!”
Yun Haozhe nodded and returned to the crowd to keep an eye on his parents.
Zhao Yumo brought two glasses of fruit juice over and teased, “Your brother is more considerate than your sister!”
“Yeah! Boys aren’t as complicated as girls.”
Yun Xi laughed lightly. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Henglin, who had also arrived right on time. Zhao Yumo couldn’t help but widen her eyes when she saw him. “Why did you invite him?!”
“I actually invited Jiang Qilin, but he came to the entrance of the military residences to question me and insisted on getting an invitation. What else could I do?”
“This fellow is even dumber than Jiang Chenghuan. I don’t even know how he grew up all these years. What does he mean now? The engagement has already been annulled. Does he suddenly regret his decision?”
She could more or less understand Jiang Henglin’s subtle thoughts. She had already reminded him before, and he refused to admit it. Since that was the case, why did she have to worry about him?
Not only did he think too highly of himself, but he had also mocked her. It was simply unnecessary!
