The wedding ceremony went smoothly. He Zhenxuan was drunk but managed to complete all the rituals. At the end, in front of everyone, he hugged Guan Meiyi and kissed her sloppily.
People were hollering and Guan Meiyi looked irritated, trying her best to suppress her anger. He Zhenxuan was too wasted to notice. The more the crowd got rowdy the more excited he became. Before she knew it, Guan Meiyi was lifted off her feet and carried sideways, as he declared it was time to consummate the marriage right away.
Guan Meiyi was terrified. She was afraid that He Zhenxuan would actually do something embarrassing in front of everyone.
The elders of the He Family finally could not stand it any longer and sent people to stop the reckless He Zhenxuan. Guan Jianlin just kept smiling from the beginning to the end. Even when he saw his daughter in such embarrassment, he didn’t do anything to help. Instead, he smiled and told the He Family that he liked He Zhenxuan’s genuine character and he appreciated a man like that.
Ling Tianya watched Guan Meiyi’s reaction when she heard her father’s words. Her eyes were filled with despair, the kind of despair that was deep inside her bone marrow, the same despair that Ling Tianya once felt about Ling Tao.
Suddenly, Ling Tianya had some sympathy for Guan Meiyi, but nothing more than that. After all, she picked her destiny, and she needed to complete it, even on her knees.
Towards the end of the wedding ceremony, Madam Ling finally showed up supported by Miss Zhang.
Guan Jianlin originally did not tell anyone from the Ling Family. Even Ling Tianya was brought by Ruan Zeyan who was invited. Therefore, Madam Ling had just heard about it and rushed over.
Seeing that she had already entered the venue, Guan Jianlin didn’t want to make a scene. The old lady just came by herself, so he decided to ignore her.
Madam Ling went straight to Guan Meiyi, giving her all kinds of advice and expressing her concerns while tears rolling down her face. Guan Meiyi was used to ridicule and coldness in recent days and was suddenly overwhelmed by the solace from the old lady. The tears that had been held back for a long time finally gush out.
For a while, the grandmother and granddaughter just held each other and cried. Finally, the old lady took a bracelet off her wrist and put it on Guan Meiyi’s hand. It was the bracelet that she had worn all her life. It was not only precious, but also very sentimental. The old lady did not think twice and gave it directly to Guan Meiyi.
Ling Tianya couldn’t help but sigh. She and Guan Meiyi were both her grandchildren and the difference in treatment was obvious.
Ling Tianya felt a sudden warmth when Ruan Zeyan took her little hand and brought her into his arms.
Ruan Zeyan thought that Madam Ling’s treatment of Guan Meiyi had made Ling Tianya uncomfortable. Ling Tianya was getting married soon too, but Madam Ling didn’t even put on a nice face the last time she was over for dinner at the Ruan mansion. Ruan Zeyan was aware that Madam Ling had always been mean to Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya shook her head and said that she was fine. It was not the first time that she was treated differently by her grandmother. Ling Tianya had already gotten used to it.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Ruan Zeyan left with Ling Tianya without staying for dinner.
Throughout the entire wedding ceremony, Ruan Zeyan appeared rather unenthused.
“If you didn’t want to, why did you go?” Ling Tianya asked.
Originally, she thought that Ruan Zeyan would not be interested or have time to attend the wedding of Guan Meiyi and He Zhenxuan. So, Ling Tianya didn’t plan to come either.
To her surprise, Ruan Zeyan suggested that they go to the event. She was confused that he didn’t seem excited after they got there.
“To get familiarized.” Ruan Zeyan answered casually.
“Familiarized with what?” Ling Tianya did not understand.
“The wedding process.” Ruan Zeyan became serious. “But I don’t like this format. Let’s not do it this way.”
Ling Tianya was speechless. It turned out that he was there to study for their own wedding.
When she thought about her own wedding in three months, Ling Tianya’s face dimmed as she let out a sigh of relief. “Well…”
