As he spoke, Wang Zichen even secretly looked at the others’ reactions, afraid that he had said something wrong again.
He had improved a little in this aspect. In the past, with Wang Zichen’s personality, he would say whatever he wanted and wouldn’t care about others’ reactions.
Fortunately, Jian Ai and the rest ignored him. Wang Zichen picked up the melon seeds and ate them silently.
The wedding venue was very lively. Most people from the bride’s side were relatives and friends who had rushed over from Liyang County, while Wang Yunzhong’s side were mostly his business friends.
It was not convenient for Li Xia to help with her being pregnant, and the two elders of the Wang family could not bear to let her suffer at this time, so Li Xia could only sit in her seat and look around.
However, when she saw Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi entertaining the guests like the masters of the house, Li Xia felt a little jealous.
Ever since the demolition incident a few months ago, the two sides had never interacted again. Wang Yunfa would occasionally hear the old lady mention Wang Yunmei, but it was never anything good.
Moreover, their elder brother was also on their side at that time. In the end, out of the four siblings, only their family was left alone, as if they were isolated. This was because Li Xia could tell that Wang Yunzhong’s attitude towards his two sisters had completely changed. Now, he was even trying to curry favor with them.
“If Mom didn’t tell us about Brother’s wedding in advance, we probably wouldn’t have known about it until the day before the wedding,” Li Xia leaned towards Wang Yunfa and whispered.
Wang Yunfa didn’t help out. Like Wang Zichen, he had been eating melon seeds since he arrived. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but sneer in disdain. “Isn’t this good? We don’t have to care about anything. Just attend the wedding banquet and leave. It’s so convenient.”
At this moment, Wang Yunfa was still angry at Wang Yunzhong because when the house was demolished, Wang Yunzhong suddenly changed sides after knowing that Jian Ai had opened a company. He caused him to lose a few hundred thousand yuan in demolition fees.
In addition, Wang Yunzhong didn’t give him an explanation at that time. Now that he was close to Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi, the anger in Wang Yunfa’s heart didn’t decrease but increased.
He initially did not want to come to the wedding today. If the old lady had not persuaded him, he would not have come.
When Li Xia heard Wang Yunfa’s words, she couldn’t help but pat him gently and remind him, “You have to put away the anger in your stomach today. Can you still be angry at Brother? Actually, when you think about it, Brother also contributed to the previous incident. However, the situation was indeed disadvantageous to us. It’s not Brother’s fault that he didn’t succeed.”
Li Xia was obviously more considerate than Wang Yunfa. Since they could no longer salvage the situation, they could not continue to be entangled in the past grudges. Their relationship with Wang Yunzhong could not keep hanging around like this.
However, Wang Yunfa did not think too much about it. He was a one-track minded person. Why should he hold back his anger? He was not willing.
He couldn’t help but look at Li Xia and say impatiently, “I’m already giving him face by coming to his wedding. You still want me to smile? Dream on!”
Li Xia sighed softly and stared at Wang Yunfa for a long time. In the end, she still felt that the situation was not right, and that it was not appropriate to argue with him about these things.
Fortunately, the wedding started soon enough. The emcee went on stage and started the process, saying a lot of blessings and adjusting the atmosphere. Then, the wedding march sounded. The stage extended to the main entrance of the banquet hall. The door opened, and Xu Qianqian appeared at the door in a white custom-made wedding dress. She held Father Xu’s wrist and walked towards Wang Yunzhong in the middle of the stage.
The people below the stage also started to clap. When some middle-aged men saw the young and beautiful Xu Qianqian, they couldn’t help but feel envious. Wang Yunzhong was already forty-one years old this year, but he had married a twenty-five-year-old wife. This was something many men dreamed of.
“How old did you tell me she was last time?”
Wang Zimeng clapped her hands perfunctorily and turned to ask Wang Zichen in a low voice.
This was the first time she had seen Xu Qianqian in person. Other than knowing that this woman was a mistress back then, she had heard the rest of the information from Wang Zichen.
Wang Zichen also had a cold expression on his face. He couldn’t even be bothered to clap his hands perfunctorily. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, “Twenty-five.”
When Wang Zimeng heard this, she pursed her lips in disdain again. Although she knew that age shouldn’t be the standard for love, there was a difference of sixteen years. This age difference was one year older than her.
Moreover, it happened in her family. Her stepmother was only ten years older than her. Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.
It was no wonder her brother said that he could not call her anything. If it were her, she would not know how to address her as well.
Fortunately, Uncle Qiao was only four years younger than her mother. If her mother found a twenty-five-year-old man…
This thought popped up in Wang Zimeng’s mind, and her scalp went numb.
Perhaps she could try her best to accept it for her mother, but she could not be as calm and relieved as she was facing Uncle Qiao now.
Jian Ai sat at the side and silently watched the couple on stage give their speech. The happiness and satisfaction on Xu Qianqian’s face were exceptionally real. Wang Yunzhong also smiled gently, but it was unknown how much sincerity was in his smile.
“Sister, when are we eating? I’m so hungry.”
Yao Jiachi whispered to Jian Ai and pulled her back to reality.
Turning to look at Jiachi, who was looking at her with an aggrieved expression, Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile and pinch his face. “It’ll take a while. Western-style weddings are more complicated. You can only eat after the process is over.”
“Oh,” Yao Jiachi answered reluctantly. His fair cheeks puffed up slightly. In the end, he sighed softly. “Getting married is so troublesome.”
When Jian Ai heard this, the smile on her face became even more doting. She was bored and couldn’t help but whisper to Yao Jiachi, “If you fall in love with a girl who’s over ten years younger or older than you in the future, what will you do?”
Jian Ai suddenly asked this question, so Yao Jiachi was stunned. He looked at Jian Ai and blinked.
Relationships were never something Jiachi would consider on his own. In Yizhong, Jiachi relied on his good looks to win the favor of many girls. However, in just a year, he had already rejected all confessions. He had never thought of dating, let alone giving anyone a chance.
To Jiachi, dating was not something he should consider.
Now that Jian Ai mentioned the word ‘love,’ Yao Jiachi was a little stunned.
