Chapter 98: 98 He Always Likes to Stir Up Something_1
Wenya, however, didn’t seem worried at all. Upon seeing the situation, she actually gave a thumbs up, brimming with excitement.
“Ding Yinuo, it really has to be you! How did I not realize before that you’re such an asset?”
Ding Yinuo gave me a glance before slowly responding,
“Whether you noticed or not isn’t important, the crux of the matter is, others didn’t either.”
I felt a bit uneasy,
“Wenya, stop fooling around. He’s causing trouble, are you going to fan the flames as well? Haven’t you considered the potential issues that could arise?”
I could already envisage a scenario where, after dining at Haitian, the Jian Family resented paying the expenses and the Yu Family just the same. If both families ended up having a dispute here, that would make matters even worse.
And Ding Yinuo just seemed like he was enjoying the spectacle.
“Isn’t it better if they start fighting? Isn’t the whole point of a wedding to make a big fuss?”
“Ding Yinuo, a wedding is a significant life event, how can you trivialize it?”
Ding Yinuo stared at me seriously,
“Let me ask you, you’ve treated marriage as a huge event in your life, and where has that led you?”
His question felt like a stab in the heart.
Indeed, I loved Gu Yuanzhou for so many years, I gave up my favorite career for him.
I became a full-time mother, devotedly raising our two children at home, yet my fate was young death.
From my perspective, this marriage was pure irony.
Hearing these words from him, I felt somewhat upset.
I didn’t respond to him, after all, no one likes old wounds being reopened.
“Let’s go, Ayun, let’s check out the other hotel!”
Wenya felt energetically and dragged me along with her to the five-star hotel where Jian Jing’s family was.
I have to say, that hotel across the street was particularly luxurious. Compared to the setup and service details, as well as the richness of the food here, there were truly in different leagues.
This was the wedding feast that Jian Jing wanted, after all, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event for every woman.
Who wouldn’t want a lavish wedding that they could proudly present to their family?
“The bird’s nest soup is lovely!”
Ding Yinuo tried to strike up a conversation with me.
I ignored him.
His earlier words had hurt me, the reality is, the two of us often ignored each other in the past.
But now, he seemed different from before, he attempted to talk to me a few times, appearing to be trying his best to alleviate the unpleasantness from earlier.
I had no interest in speaking to him.
“The lobster here is quite good, would you like some?”
“Their wedding souvenirs are nice, come check out the chocolate!”
Ding Yinuo unboxed the wedding souvenirs, Wenya stopped him, “Hey, don’t give them to me, such a pity to unbox them!”
Wenya glanced towards Jian Jing, her smile seemed to have brightened significantly.
However, the expression on the mother-in-law’s face was far from happy. She wore an awkward smile at one moment, then her face darkened the next.
She rapidly fluctuated between joy and rage.
Wenya kicked Ding Yinuo under the table,
“These few tables must have cost a fortune, you’re covering the bill, right?”
Ding Yinuo shot her a dismissive look, “Whoever gets married is the one settling the bill!”
By the time the banquet was coming to an end, with all the relatives happily fed, Ding Yinuo quickly grabbed the mother-in-law calling the server over,
“Check, bill please. This lady is covering it!”
“Okay, thank you for your patronage, the total comes to forty-eight thousand!”
“What? All these dishes cost this much?”
“Oh, this is a wedding package, including the wedding favors, and a 3-day newlywed suite.”
The mother-in-law’s face went terribly pale, but at this point, in front of all these relatives, begrudging as she might have been, she had no choice but to bear with it and pay.
However, right before leaving, when she looked at Ding Yinuo, her eyes were full of resentment, possessing a look almost as if they had been dipped in poison.
She had no way to blame Ding Yinuo, so she criticized Jian Jing instead,
“So inconsiderate, who knows what kind of friends you’ve made, always causing trouble for the family.”
She scolded, but at least Jian’s relatives left satisfied.
Jian Jing didn’t blow up, after saying goodbye to the relatives, us three women accompanied her to the bridal suite.
The bridal suite here was nicely decorated, the round bed was covered in red roses, the main color was red, festive yet romantic.
Wenya helped Jian Jing to remove the hairpin,
“The look on your mother-in-law’s face, absolutely priceless! She’s been taken for a ride today, I bet it will sting for a while.”
Jian Jing laughed, “Ah well, let it go, I just hope my mom won’t be too stressed out! Actually, we originally planned to host the wedding at this hotel, but we didn’t expect the plan would be changed.”
I sat by her side asking her,
“Will your mother-in-law cause trouble for you tomorrow?”
Wenya replied, “The wedding’s already happened, the money’s already been spent, what else could she do? If she really upsets our Jian Jing, we’ll just go back to her family’s house and ignore them, let the Yu family be left empty-handed and see if she panics.”
“Ehem, can I interrupt?”
Ding Yinuo, who had been smoking in the doorway, leaned in to take a look.
Wenya nudged me with her hand, “He’s looking for you, go on then!”
I got up and looked at Ding Yinuo, “Wenya and I came here to be bridesmaids, why do you have the audacity to come here and join the feast?”
“I was invited too…”
“Did you give Jian Jing a red envelope for good luck?”
“Of course I did!”
Naturally, my relationship with Wenya and Jian Jing was close, we were best friends. In the past, Ding Yinuo was not familiar with us.
I’m actually surprised that Jian Jing would invite Ding Yinuo to her wedding banquet.
So, I asked Jian Jing, “How much was in his red envelope?”
Jian Jing wagged one of her fingers, the smile on her face was quite bright.
“Alright, go, he’s been searching for you!”
Wenya kept urging me to leave…
I didn’t actually have much to say to Ding Yinuo.
However, the wedding was almost over, and it seemed like it was time for me to take off. After bidding Jian Jing farewell, I stepped out.
Ding Yinuo didn’t say anything, he just followed me. Just as I was about to press the elevator button to go down to the first floor, he quickly pressed the top floor’s button.
“Hmm?”
“Let’s go up and take a look!”
“Okay!”
The rooftop terrace was already enveloped in the darkness of night.
As soon as we stepped out, we could see a sky full of stars.
The terrace had been transformed into an open-air mini bar, it was adorned with retro-style tables and chairs, romantic candlelight, it would be quite romantic to have a date here, drink and watch the stars.
Ding Yinuo ordered two cocktails…
“I just had a drink!”
“It’s okay, it’s low alcohol. Plus, I’m here, if you’re drunk, I can carry you home!”
The cocktail in the hand, under the night sky, it was glowing a blue halo, gently shaking, seeming as if the starry sky was flowing in it, truly magical.
“Blue Star Galaxy, haven’t tried it before, right?”
Ding Yinuo looked at my baffled expression and smiled.
“I haven’t… After getting married, I’ve been focusing all my attention on the children, so I’ve missed out on a lot… Right, why did you ask me to come and talk?”
