Chapter 778: Chapter 778: The Happiness We Want
Hearing the name Bai Xiaolu was no better than hearing Xiao Hai’s.
Zhu Qianying had thought that her little boy had probably really forgotten about Bai Xiaolu.
Because, indeed, this was the first time in months that he had brought her up of his own accord.
"Mommy, is Bai Xiaolu never coming back?"
Before Zhu Qianying could recover from her shock, her little boy dropped another bombshell.
Zhu Qianying tried hard to hide her inner panic, reaching out to gently pinch her little guy’s cheeks.
"Nonsense! How could that be?!" Zhu Qianying vehemently denied it, but in reality, she felt quite guilty.
So, her son had noticed her unease?
Had he also inferred something from the gradually diminishing video calls and never-answered phone calls?
Her son didn’t speak again, but with his backpack on, he headed into the living room.
Since then, Zhu Qianying really hadn’t heard her son mention Bai Xiaolu again, until he had grown into a tall young boy.
But that was many years later.
Right now, Zhu Qianying and her sister Zhu Qianyu were busy preparing for their mother’s wedding.
Luo Yifan’s family were all in R city, and the Luo Family was a considerable figure in R city, so naturally, the wedding was arranged to take place in R city.
Zhu Qianying and her entire family arrived in R city two to three days in advance along with Chen Jing and stayed at the Ji Family home.
Luo Yifan, the bridegroom, had returned to R city a week earlier to prepare for the wedding.
Upon Zhu Qianying’s entire family’s arrival in R city, the Luo family hosted a banquet in a hotel, along with the Zhu and Ji families. The three families amounted to dozens of people having a lively meal together.
No one could have imagined that the decades-long friendship between the Ji and Luo families would eventually, roundabout as it was, turn into kinship.
The Yan Family, Ji Family, and Luo Family had business dealings dating back to the elders’ generation. Now, with the younger generations marrying, they were even more related, making their conversations even more congenial.
While the adults were deep in conversation, the three little ones were busy amusing themselves around the baby carriage, having fun with Ji Huan and Zhu Qianyu’s baby.
The little baby was only a few days past its hundredth day. Its pink and tender skin, now that its eyes were open, didn’t resemble Ji Huan as much as when it was newly born. Its chin and mouth resembled Zhu Qianyu, whereas the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, and nose resembled Ji Huan. Nonetheless, this mix didn’t diminish its cuteness or beauty in any way - after all, both parents had perfectly flawless features.
At this moment, he was sucking on his pink little fist with his small mouth open.
The three little heads were huddled over the baby carriage, grinning at him. One would squeeze his chubby little cheeks for a while, and another would directly lift his little foot to kiss it.
"Little brother, you need to grow fast, you’ll be a big brother soon!"
Her little boy didn’t forget to promote the little sister still in his Mommy’s tummy, "When you can walk, you can carry your little sister with us."
Both Zhu Qianying and her sister were sitting behind these little brats, unable to help but chuckle at the children’s chattering.
On the other side, as the elders were in full swing of their conversation, Luo Yifan suddenly said to Chen Jing.
"Ah Jing, after we come back from our honeymoon, I’ll take you around."
Chen Jing didn’t react immediately, "Go round? Where are we going to go round?"
Before Luo Yifan could answer, his younger son, Luo Chang, chimed in with a laugh.
"Mom Jing, when my dad says that, he obviously means he’s going to take you around to all the Fanxin Restaurants. As the boss lady, you need to familiarize yourself with the stores. I must tell you, my dad once mentioned that many of the chefs in Fanxin Restaurant occasionally act arrogantly in front of him. Now that you’re here, my dad doesn’t have to worry about the chefs looking down on him for not knowing how to cook."
Hearing her "son" say this in front of so many people, Chen Jing glanced at Luo Yifan and laughed shyly.
"Others might not dare to tease him, but I might mock him occasionally!"
Luo Chang looked at his dad, "Being mocked by you, mom, is fun for dad, being looked down upon by the staff, now that’s a different story!"
Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu at the same table, watching their mom and the men of Luo family having a good time, once again looked at each other, both showing knowing smiles.
...
The wedding ceremony was held in the garden of the Luo family. Because Zhu Qianying’s maternal grandfather had difficulty moving, the responsibility of leading the bride fell on Zhu Qianying’s uncle.
Zhu Qianying and her sister Zhu Qianyu sat side by side, each seated next to Yan and Ji Huan, respectively, with one carrying the baby boy on his lap, and the other holding the little baby.
"Mommy looks so beautiful today!"
The baby boy, who had been very keen to be a flower child before, didn’t mention it this time. He only said he wanted to stay with his mommy and watch his beautiful grandma marry his grandpa.
Zhu Qianying guessed that his not volunteering to be a flower child might be related to Bai Xiaolu.
Of course, these were just her guesses, and she hoped, these were just her guesses.
As the twins, Beibei and Guoguo, walked past Zhu Qianying’s group as flower children, they puckered their small mouths and blew kisses at them, making everyone laugh out loud.
When Luo Yifan and Chen Jing finished reading the vows and put the rings on each other, Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu, sitting in the front row center, both became teary.
Yan, holding the baby boy in one hand, appeared to keep his eyes on the newlyweds, but as soon as Zhu Qianying’s eyes turned red, his long arm circled around her and gently pulled her into his embrace.
"Baby, all those wishes you had before have come true, haven’t they?"
Zhu Qianying, her eyes reddened, paused for a moment. She sniffed hard, lifted her head, and smiled at Yan.
She didn’t remember telling Yan about her previous wishes, but indeed, when she had no intersection with Yan, her wish was to completely break away from the Zhu family one day, and that her mom and sister could have a good home.
Looking at it now, all her wishes had indeed come true.
Moreover, not only did her mom and sister find a good home, but she also had a happy and blissful family.
"Yes, they have all come true, and they are a million times happier than I ever imagined!"
On the wedding day, although no media reporters were invited, the omnipotent media still gathered a bunch of relevant information from the Weibo and WeChat posts of relatives of the bride and groom, and live-streamed the news on Weibo and WeChat.
Most netizens offered heartfelt blessings to the middle-aged couple, with just a few exceptions.
Those few exceptions included Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen, who were forced to sell the Zhu family mansion and move to a regular apartment.
Also included were Zhu Junzhao and Zhu Junwei, who were serving time in prison. Although they were not in the same prison, they both saw the happy moment when Chen Jing and Luo Yifan exchanged rings during the short local news segment broadcasted during dinner time!
The bride and groom’s wedding dress and suit were extremely extravagant, which made the prison uniforms that Zhu brothers were wearing look exceptionally ugly in comparison...
