Chapter 713: 708. The Whole Family Is Not Simple (Please Subscribe and Vote)
However, there was no time for him to overthink things; he immediately took out his phone and dialed Yu Qingyu.
"Sister Yu, someone here says they are your brother-in-law's people, here to attend the wedding." His speaking pace was very fast.
When Yu Qingyu received the call, she was stunned, then felt a mix of surprise and delight.
"What is his name?" Yu Qingyu's tone trembled slightly; she had thought no family would come for her.
The person at the entrance asked immediately, then received the reply, "They say his name is Zhang Ran."
"Wait for me, I'm coming right over," Yu Qingyu said immediately.
She didn't care about anything else and started jogging toward the exit, giving Gu Xinyi, who was still excitedly watching the makeup process nearby, a fright. What was she doing? Running away from the wedding? That couldn't be it, right?
She followed after her, though fortunately, the cumbersome wedding dress Yu Qingyu was wearing meant she couldn't run fast at all.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Gu Xinyi asked cautiously.
Yu Qingyu said, "My brother-in-law is here. My family is here."
Upon hearing this and seeing Yu Qingyu's expression, Gu Xinyi immediately felt relieved; so, her family had come.
"Did you notify them, Sister Yu?" Gu Xinyi asked.
"No," Yu Qingyu shook her head. She hadn't notified Zhang Ran.
However, she wasn't surprised by this, and a warm current flowed through her heart. This must be Zhang Ran caring for her, having someone look after her; otherwise, he wouldn't have known the news.
So, she actually had family too!
This was the only thought in Yu Qingyu's mind right now!
Although Yu Qingyu no longer had any affection for her original family, when she truly severed ties with that home, she still couldn't help but feel a bit empty inside.
Fortunately, someone had now filled that void.
And when Yu Qingyu saw Zhang Ran and his group, her eyes immediately turned red.
She truly hadn't expected Zhang Ran's entire family to come; except for Zhang Sicheng, everyone else had arrived!
Seeing Yu Qingyu shedding tears, Zhang Ran smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Why are you crying on such a joyous day? Give me a smile!"
Yu Qingyu wiped her tears and said, "I'm just happy. Thank you, Brother-in-law!"
"You still have the nerve to say that? Since you know I'm your brother-in-law, why didn't you notify me about something as big as your wedding?" Zhang Ran said, pretending to be angry.
Yu Qingyu felt a bit embarrassed, "I was afraid of disturbing you, and besides..."
"Alright, don't worry about those things. What's in the past is in the past; don't dwell on other things. From now on, living your own little life well is better than anything else," Zhang Ran sighed and said.
This was the sister Qingwan had identified with most, and her only sister. When it came down to it, Zhang Ran still couldn't let go, because he knew Qingwan wouldn't have been able to let go of this sister either.
"Your sister also hoped you could be happy. If you have any trouble in the future, just tell me; don't be shy," Zhang Ran said earnestly.
"I will!"
After Zhang Ran said these few words, Zhang Siyan and Liu Lu walked over, each bringing one of the little ones.
"Happy wedding, Little Aunt!"
"Happy wedding, Great-Aunt!"
Hearing these voices of blessing, and the crisp sound of the little ones calling her "Great-Aunt," Yu Qingyu's eyes turned red again.
"Thank you all."
At this moment, Gu Xinyi was dumbfounded, especially looking at Zhang Ran's youthful face; she really couldn't make sense of it. Could this brother-in-law be like her brother?
"Alright, go and get ready; we'll just head inside," Zhang Ran said, looking at Yu Qingyu.
"Mm."
After Yu Qingyu went back, Zhang Ran and the others found a place to sit down at their leisure.
Seeing the layout of the wedding, Taylor felt it was very unique; it was his first time attending a wedding like this.
"Sister-in-law, why is your brother-in-law so young?" Gu Xinyi asked cautiously.
Yu Qingyu was in an excellent mood, so she smiled and said, "Don't let his youth fool you; my brother-in-law is already over fifty this year, he just looks young."
Of course, Yu Qingyu wouldn't casually talk about Zhang Ran's affairs, not even to her sister-in-law.
"Ah? Over fifty? You really can't tell at all. I'm so envious," Gu Xinyi exclaimed in surprise.
"Even if you're envious, you can't have it," Yu Qingyu's tone was very relaxed and happy.
By this time, Gu Rui had also heard the news and learned that Yu Qingyu's brother-in-law had brought his whole family.
Gu Xinyi had just tipped him off about this.
At first, Gu Rui was a bit nervous, but upon learning that Zhang Ran and his group were here to offer blessings, he suddenly relaxed.
Thinking about it, he came out ahead of time to find Zhang Ran; as the groom, he had never met the bride's family.
Although he had been notified by Gu Xinyi, he still couldn't help but feel surprised when he actually saw Zhang Ran's youthful face.
"Hello, Brother-in-law. I am Gu Rui, Qingyu's husband." Gu Rui's expression was a bit tense.
Zhang Ran stood up with a smile and said, "Hello."
Seeing Zhang Ran's kind attitude, Gu Rui felt much more at ease.
"Qingyu hasn't had an easy life. I am very happy that she could find someone she can rely on at this time.
I hope you two can walk toward happiness together, and you must take on the task of protecting Qingyu," Zhang Ran said softly.
"I will, Brother-in-law, don't worry," Gu Rui said with a very serious expression.
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "I hope you can always be happy. If you have any trouble in the future, you can come find me."
Gu Rui was stunned, then carefully sized up Zhang Ran; that was a bold statement indeed.
However, he could also tell that Zhang Ran possessed an aura that was difficult for ordinary people to perceive, and not just Zhang Ran—everyone around him was the same.
He couldn't recognize Taylor; although Taylor was very famous, Gu Rui was a person who liked to do research and rarely paid attention to entertainment news.
But he could tell that Taylor was no ordinary person.
There was no need to even mention Lin Mei, and the same went for Huo Zhiyuan.
Even Zhang Siyan and Liu Lu had undergone great changes in their temperament after being influenced by these past two years.
In fact, the greatest change was their self-confidence!
Over these two years, they had become more confident day by day; this confidence came firstly from their family, for after all, their family was now the Richest Person in China, so pride and confidence in their hearts were a must.
The second point stemmed from themselves; Zhang Siyan had grown a lot over these two years, especially in the recent period, as she began to slowly take over Kangshilan, and the enhancement of her own abilities gave this confidence even more substance.
Liu Lu was the same; although it was merely a single hospital and counted for nothing compared to the Zhang Family's industries, it was still a source of confidence.
She, Liu Lu, was not just a lucky rich wife!
This was also Zhang Ran's goal; he did not want Liu Lu to feel inferior one day, as that was not something he wanted to see.
