Chapter 33: The Jiang Family Arrives in a Little Car to Fetch the Bride!

Su Yanhua stared at the Wedding Dress on RuanRuan that clearly dwarfed her own, so angry she nearly snapped a silver tooth and dug her nails deep into her palm.

But she forced that raging fire back down.

No, today is my wedding day; I can't ruin my image!

She kept warning herself in her mind.

Moreover… recalling the scene from her previous life, a secret sense of pleasure and schadenfreude rose again.

In her previous life, on the day she married Jiang Ran, that bastard Jiang Ran never came to fetch the bride!

Halfway there he ran into his so‑called "Female Brother" Lin Wei being hassled by a few thugs; to stand up for Lin Wei he fought them, and although he drove them away, he ended up humiliated himself and completely forgot the bride‑fetching.

That left her waiting at her natal home for most of the day, becoming the laughingstock of everyone.

In the end the Jiang Family found it intolerable, sent a distant relative, and hastily fetched her away.

This incident became the first, and forever indelible, humiliation of her marriage!

This life, the trajectory shouldn't change, right?

That trouble‑making Lin Wei will surely cause trouble again, and that reckless Jiang Ran will surely meddle in other people's business!

RuanRuan, just wait and see how long you can stay smug!

Thinking of this, Su Yanhua's face formed a fake smile again; she walked to RuanRuan's side, feigned warmth by linking arms, her voice neither loud nor soft, just enough for the onlookers to hear.

"Sister, your Wedding Dress looks really beautiful."

"But why hasn't Jiang Ran arrived yet? This auspicious moment is almost past!"

Her tone carried just‑right worry, yet her gaze flicked toward RuanRuan, trying to find a trace of panic on her face.

Seeing RuanRuan's expression remain calm, she feigned concern and said, "Sister, don't take it to heart; Jiang Ran… he may just be that kind of person—playful, many friends, perhaps something tripped him up. After all… everyone knows what he's like, so don't be too sad."

Her words seemed comforting, but every sentence subtly hinted that Jiang Ran is unreliable, a Playboy, and never had RuanRuan in his thoughts.

Sure enough, murmuring voices of discussion rose immediately.

"Yeah, what time is this, why hasn't the Jiang Family youngster arrived yet?"

"He can't have backed out, can he?"

"I heard that kid used to be quite wild, had many friends; maybe he really got taken away by some shady companions…"

"The bride is so beautiful; if she's left hanging here, that would be so embarrassing…"

"Looks like Yanhua is fortunate; Teacher Wen Bin arrived early, very dependable!"

The murmurs buzzed like flies, and Wang Juhua and Su Dazhuang's faces turned sour, looking dull.

Su Yanhua listened to the chatter, feeling immensely pleased; she could already picture Jiang Ran's absence and RuanRuan becoming the laughingstock.

Yet RuanRuan seemed oblivious to the chatter and did not notice Su Yanhua's gleeful expression.

She merely adjusted her sleeve slightly, gazed calmly toward the alley entrance, a faint confident smile at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Ran will definitely come.

She believes that the boy, though reckless, is wholeheartedly devoted to her, his gaze burning with sincere intensity.

He may be impulsive, may be reckless, but any promise he made—especially concerning her—will never be broken.

As for Lin Wei? After the hospital incident, Jiang Ran likely feels only disgust toward her; even if they meet, he would never postpone the bride‑fetching for her.

Su Yanhua's Rebirth "experience" is fundamentally wrong in this life.

As seconds passed, Su Yanhua's smug grin grew harder to conceal; just as she prepared to add another spark and "comfort" RuanRuan, a clamor unlike a typical bride‑fetching procession erupted from the alley entrance.

Then came excited children's shrieks and adults' incredulous exclamations!

"Car! It's a little car!!"

"My heavens! It's a little sedan!!"

"The Jiang Family brought a little car to fetch the bride?!"

The sound was like cold water poured into boiling oil, instantly setting off a frenzy in the Su family courtyard!

Everyone craned their necks, looking toward the alley entrance in disbelief.

A rare, gleaming black Shanghai‑brand little sedan, extremely scarce in this era, slowly entered the narrow alley, and steadily stopped at the Su family doorway amid countless envious and shocked gazes!

On the hood, a conspicuous Big Red Flower was affixed!

The car door opened, and first to leap out was Jiang Ran, dressed in a brand‑new Zhongshan suit, hair meticulously combed, his handsome face bearing an eager, excited smile!

He cradled a large bouquet of the season's rare Rose Bouquet, his eyes instantly locking onto the calm red figure standing in the courtyard.

"RuanRuan! I'm here!" he shouted, his voice loud, brimming with unabashed joy and affection.

Then the co‑driver and rear doors also opened.

Jiang Jianguo and Li Huijuan, dressed in respectable attire, stepped down with appreciative smiles.

Jiang Nainai was carefully helped down by Jiang Jiaojiao; the elderly lady also wore a dark red new coat today, smiling so broadly her teeth were visible but her eyes hidden.

The entire Jiang Family mobilized! And they arrived in a little sedan symbolizing status and wealth!!

This spectacle, this level of importance, instantly crushed all doubtful and mocking voices!

Those who were just mocking Jiang Ran's unreliability were now speechless, their faces burning, leaving only shock and envy.

Su Yanhua's smile froze completely, as if she'd been slapped hard; the flush vanished instantly, turning a ghastly pallor.

Her eyes bulged almost out of their sockets, staring fixedly at the little car and the triumphant Jiang Ran, her mind buzzing!

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

The previous life was clearly not like this!

Jiang Ran clearly went to rescue Lin Wei, how could he possibly come?!

Still driving a car?!

The whole family also came?!

The huge shock and the situation that was completely at odds with reality made RuanRuan unable to accept it for a moment, and her body began to sway slightly.

Liu Wenbin stood beside RuanRuan, looking at the small car and the imposing Jiang Family, and comparing them with the desolate scene on his side, a complex expression appeared on his face, and he instinctively withdrew his hand from Su Yanhua's arm.

Jiang Ran could not bother to look at anyone else; he took a few strides into the courtyard, rushed to RuanRuan's side, his eyes shining astonishingly, and thrust the bright Rose Bouquet he held into her arms, his tone tinged with a boastful sense of achievement.

"RuanRuan, you were getting impatient, weren't you? I almost missed the timing because of this car... Do you like these flowers? I specially asked someone to bring them from the south!"

RuanRuan took the dewy fresh flowers, looked up at the fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead from his eagerness, and at the sincere affection in his eyes; the last subtle ripple in her heart, caused by the waiting, finally calmed.

She lifted her brows and eyes, her smile gentle and sincere: "I like it, thank you, Jiang Ran."

That thank you contained far too much.

Jiang Ran looked at her flower-like smile and felt that all the impatience of urging the driver to speed up along the way was worth it.

He couldn't help extending his hand, wanting to hug her, but Jiang Jiaojiao laughed and brushed it away: "You silly boy! What's the hurry! We'll hug at home! Hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time!"
