Chapter 546: Romantic Wedding 1
Jian Yining:......
He realized that his mother was truly becoming more and more excessive.
Her mouth was like a small knife, with every word stabbing at his heart!
Of course, he could not admit it; he sank his face and scolded his mother not to talk nonsense, saying that now he and Shi Youxuan both had their own families and were living happy and fulfilling lives, so it was meaningless to bring up those past matters.
Lady Jian did not stop.
She began to compare the two sisters, previously disliking Shi Youxuan and saying Jin Wan'er was good!
But now that Jin Wan'er had truly entered the family and become one of them, she began to find fault with everything again.
"Shi Youxuan is still better; although that woman has given birth to a child, she is capable of having children, can earn money, and is devoted to her husband. Even with such a big belly, she went to the Island to save Sheng Hanyu. Tsk tsk, just on this point, your Jin Wan'er can't compare; she's far behind..."
The things Lady Jian used to dislike about Shi Youxuan had now all become her merits.
And as for the one she used to praise endlessly, Jin Wan'er, now she couldn't see a single merit in her!
A classic case of "distance makes the heart grow fonder, proximity breeds contempt."
Jian Yining was speechless at his mother, and of course, it was impossible for him to get a divorce because of her words.
The couple met sneakily, as if they were having an affair.
Just at this time, Sheng Hanyu sent an invitation to Jian Yining, inviting the couple to the Island to attend the wedding.
The two were extremely happy and hurriedly tidied up their work at hand before coming over.
Yun Zhe Hao, Ma Ling'er, Jian Yixin, and Sheng Zerong came together.
Accompanying them were Shi Yucheng and Shi Liu.
They arrived even later than Jian Yining.
In fact, they had set off earlier than Sheng Hanyu!
The reason they arrived late was because Moli was too young, and Jian Yixin was worried about such a small child taking a plane, so she insisted on high-speed rail plus a luxury cruise ship; she would rather spend a few more days than let the child suffer even a little bit.
Ever since Jian Yixin adopted Moli, her relationship with Shi Yucheng had become closer and closer.
She invited Shi Yucheng to take a detour with her and help take care of the child on the way, so Shi Yucheng happily rejected his son-in-law Sheng Hanyu, choosing not to take the private jet but instead traveling over land and water, taking several days of high-speed rail and cruise ships to arrive.
The grandfather and granddaughter got along very happily on the way.
Yun Zhe Hao and Ma Ling'er liked a slow-paced life, so the group traveled together.
Jin Laoyezi and his wife were attending a very important event in the country, an event with a high level of confidentiality, so they were unable to attend their granddaughter's wedding.
With all the guests present, Sheng Hanyu invited these people to witness the wedding between him and his wife.
The wedding day arrived.
Shi Youxuan was in the dressing room, sitting gracefully in front of the mirror.
Jin Wan'er was doing her makeup, dabbing on some foundation, blending it out, and smoothing it evenly with a powder puff.
Then she used an eyebrow pencil to lightly outline the eyebrows, applied lipstick, and it was done.
Both sisters felt it was quite good, and then they prepared to change into the wedding dress!
Jian Yixin disagreed: "No, no, how can a bride's makeup look the same as usual? Let me do it!"
It was fortunate that she had the foresight to bring a full set of cosmetics.
Shi Youxuan refused: "No need, I think this is quite good."
She looked in the mirror and it was indeed quite good; both sisters thought there was no need for touch-ups.
Jian Yixin explained: "Bridal makeup shouldn't be looked at that way; it must be heavy. Not only does it look good in photos and videos, but it is also an auspicious omen."
Since things had been said to this point, of course, they had to do as Jian Yixin said.
"Wan'er, you go out. Xuanxuan, close your eyes. I can't let others watch when I'm doing makeup, otherwise, I get nervous."
To keep her from being nervous, Jin Wan'er obediently went out.
Only the two of them were left in the dressing room. Before closing her eyes, Shi Youxuan asked: "Have you ever done bridal makeup for anyone?"
"No."
Hearing "no," Shi Youxuan hesitated a little.
She felt that although Jian Yixin spoke with great conviction, her practical ability might not be strong.
Seeing her expression, Jian Yixin knew that Shi Youxuan did not trust her, so she persuaded her: "Although I haven't done bridal makeup for others, I do my own makeup every day."
"I also do my own makeup for parties; I have more experience than you, and besides me, you have no one else to use here."
This made sense.
Shi Youxuan agreed.
So she applied eyeshadow and blush to the bride... the bridal makeup was complete!
The dressing room door opened, and Jian Yixin went out to tell Jin Wan'er: "You can go in now."
"Oh my god!" Jin Wan'er exclaimed.
Shi Youxuan opened her eyes and looked into the mirror; in the mirror—there was a female ghost.
The blush was applied like a monkey's butt, and wasn't the eyeshadow too exaggerated?
Even panda eyes weren't this big!
Originally, Jin Wan'er had done it quite well; although it was a bit thin, it would have been fine to just add a little more. Going out looking like this, it wouldn't be an exaggeration even for a horror movie.
"Jian Yixin, you come back here!" Shi Youxuan gritted her teeth in hatred: "You didn't come to help at all; you came for revenge."
Jian Yixin had already run away.
Why wouldn't she run?
Wait to be strangled to death on the spot by Shi Youxuan?
Washing her face and redoing the makeup, this time she had more experience than before. Shi Youxuan didn't need anyone else, not even Jin Wan'er, and did it herself.
She applied makeup slightly heavier than usual, with a light touch of blush, looking delicate, charming, and prettier than a flower.
……
On the lawn outside.
In the center of the lawn, a white ceremonial tent was set up, with several rows of chairs with bright red covers arranged neatly inside.
In front of the tent was a red ceremonial stage, with a small dark red table on one side, behind which stood a pastor wearing gold-rimmed glasses with a solemn expression.
Sheng Jiang grumbled to Wang Yinghao: "There are no Christians in our family, so why bring in a pastor to be the host? On such a joyous day, he's stone-faced without a hint of a smile. And the tent—who uses white for a wedding? If people didn't know better, they'd think..."
Wang Yinghao didn't let him finish the second half of the sentence, covering his mouth.
"Shut up. White symbolizes purity, and the pastor represents solemnity. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Sheng Jiang didn't dare talk nonsense anymore, but he remained unconvinced.
He muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, I just think it looks bad. It would be better to hold a three-day open banquet at the best hotel in Jiangzhou..."
Wang Yinghao:...
Holding a three-day open banquet at a hotel was the kind of spectacle Sheng Jiang had put on when he got married back in the day.
But how many years ago was that?
That hasn't been in fashion for a long time.
It was a good thing he wasn't the one in charge, otherwise, there's no telling what strange things he would have come up with.
Seeing Shi Yucheng coming this way, Wang Yinghao specifically warned her husband: "I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense in front of the in-law later and upset him. You know what Xuanxuan's temper is like."
"Mm."
He grunted in agreement, and when Shi Yucheng walked over, he indeed didn't dare say anything.
No, he didn't dare say a single word!
Even when Shi Yucheng greeted him, he only nodded with a sheepish smile, remaining completely silent.
With no other choice, Wang Yinghao had to explain to the in-law for him: "I'm sorry, in-law, my old Sheng's throat hasn't been feeling well these past two days; please don't take offense."
……
Wang Yong was wearing a suit today, his hair combed until it was slick and shiny, and his leather shoes were so polished they could reflect a person's image.
He was the host for today's wedding, and everyone came to him for all the trivial matters.
Because the groom was not there.
