Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Wife, Let’s Elope

Chen Lijun vaguely felt that her daughter and son-in-law seemed to have pulled off something big, and her husband seemed to know part of the situation but chose to condone it.

Her evidence was that, after Yu Jingting left the table of the Fan family women after the toast, no one smiled.

They either wore emotionless expressions or looked as if they were in mourning, almost making them seem like they were attending a funeral.

Suizi and her husband had led the old lady out for quite some time. Just as Chen Lijun was considering sending someone to look for them, they came back.

What surprised Chen Lijun was that Suizi was holding the hand of Fan’s mother as they entered, giving off a harmonious grandmother-granddaughter vibe.

"Goodness... my daughter has really made a name for herself."

"Our daughter has always been outstanding." Fan Huang slightly smiled as he had guessed this would happen.

Chen Lijun was wide-eyed with disbelief, nearly suspecting that her daughter had surreptitiously learned some hypnosis trick to control Fan’s mother.

Who in the world could fancy this old woman who had been a selfish babe her entire life? How was it that she suddenly became close to Suizi?

Not only was Chen Lijun surprised, but the women of the Fan family were even more shocked.

What shocked the women of the Fan family even more was yet to come.

Suizi, holding Fan’s mother’s hand, walked past the guests. When they walked past the women of the Fan family, Suizi purposefully stopped and gave them all a condescending look.

Suizi deliberately looked at the second lady for a few moments, causing her to feel guilty and lower her head. Suizi acted utterly like the victor.

Suizi led Fan’s mother to the front, where there were hosts and performers she had invited from the radio station, and there was a live singing and dancing performance. As a show just ended, Suizi gave the host a glance, and the host who was given a heads-up immediately read the transition words fluently.

"Dear guests, dear leaders, today is the joyful wedding day of Comrade Fan Huang and Comrade Chen Lijun. Looking back on the past, we have weathered storms and walked side by side; looking at today, we are happily married. On such a special day, let us warmly invite the mother of Comrade Fan Huang to come up on stage and say a few words."

The face of Fan’s mother grew stiffer. If she could choose, she would rather disappear on the spot, flap her wings and fly out like a moth, rather than stand there to be gawked at.

Chen Lijun’s mouth was agape, and Fan Huang raised his eyebrows.

What other surprises were these youngsters hiding from him?

"Granny, don’t forget the sentence you prepared." Suizi smiled cheerfully, pulling out the paper she had written earlier from her pocket.

You can’t say that she, this little cotton-padded jacket, was not thoughtful enough, she had already written the script.

Fan’s mother opened the paper and took a look, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The flowery text was nearly 800 words long, over 500 of which were sincere praise for Chen Lijun, from her physical appearance to her character, from praising her personal ethics to her work abilities.

The remaining 300 words expressed satisfaction with the marriage.

Suizi used her strength from her time writing small essays to compliment Yu Jingting, taking out her conscience and showering her mother with over-the-top praises.

After reading the text, Fan’s mother’s first impression was, "This script is too much."

Reading it can be awkward.

But not reading it was not an option. This draft script was beautifully hand-drawn by Suizi, with a background of a pencil-drawn cassette tape, and the script was written on it.

Not only was the background a cassette tape, there were cute little cassette tapes drawn on the top and bottom of the paper. Anyone who didn’t know the situation would think that the script looked very nice, very special.

But in Fan’s mother’s eyes, it was an outright threat.

These cassette tapes drawn all over the paper, weren’t they just reminding her, if she doesn’t obey, get ready to be exposed?

With no other choice, Fan’s mother had to stand at the front stiffly, hold the microphone, and start reading the manuscript written by Suizi in a halting voice.

"Mother, I think her textbook-reading level doesn’t even match my classmates’ recitation skills. She has no emotion at all." From her seat, Jiaojiao told Wang Cuihua.

Wang Cuihua thought the same, prodding Yu Shuisheng sitting next to her and lowering her voice, "I’m not saying this about our mother-in-law, she is a well-bred young lady, claiming her mother is a Gege or something, but why does she stammer when reading a script?"

Seeing the truth but not revealing it, Yu Shuisheng just smiled. What Gege could withstand his daughter-in-law’s astonishing writing? Fan’s mother was clearly disgusted to her core by Suizi’s essays, but couldn’t react.

Seeing Chen Lijun coming over, Luoluo reached out for her to pick her up. When Chen Lijun picked her up, Luoluo saw the dense goosebumps on Chen Lijun’s bare arm.

"Are you cold, Granny?"

"Um, a bit..." Chen Lijun awkwardly met the eyes of Fan Huang, who was failing to contain his mirth.

Listening to the old lady on stage reading these nauseating things in such a tormented tone, she really wanted to control her reaction, but she couldn’t... she had been provoked into getting goosebumps all over.

"When your daughter has a winter vacation, throw her into your company’s publicity department. Let her practice her writing skills with Meng Jun and the others."

What kind of cheesy stuff did she write... When Chen Lijun heard Fan’s mother under all eyes reading out, "you desire her, she adores you, two good to one good", she couldn’t hold it in any longer, her eyes skimmed around and locked on Suizi, trying to kill this mischievous girl with a glance!

Fan Huang’s mouth twitched over and over again, almost losing control.

Suizi, this girl, usually looks so obedient, when she gets mischievous, she is truly naughty.

Having played a joke and enjoyed herself, Suizi, upon receiving her mother’s murderous gaze, decisively hid behind Yu Jingting.

"What did you do? Is there a problem with the script you wrote?" Yu Jingting asked.

Suizi whispered in his ear, "There are a few lines in the script that I copied from my mom’s favorite Ming Dynasty novel."

"There’s something wrong with her favorite novel?"

"She just likes to read those stories about two old men having relationships, hey, there were lots of such themes in the Ming Dynasty, and they all have some kind of color. Wouldn’t it be clever to cater to her tastes?"

Suizi took sentences from several books to praise people. For those who hadn’t read these books, the wording was very grand, clearly written by someone learned.

However, if you were a seasoned aficionado like Chen Lijun, you would know exactly where it came from, then the effect would be subtle.

It was estimated that the first reaction of those in the know after hearing it would be - how many of these kinds of books has this old lady read? Goodness, truly goodness.

"I thought only my mom had this kind of hobby that shouldn’t see the light of day, but look at my dad’s face, look at the subtlety of his smiley lips - he’s no stranger to these." Suizi was having a blast.

"...Honey, let’s elope." If they didn’t elope, he was afraid his mother-in-law would try to stop his wife, but he wouldn’t be able to prevent it.

Although Suizi spoiled the congratulatory speech, not many people would be able to notice it, so the effect was still quite good.

After Fan’s mother finished reading, she gritted her teeth and took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it onto Chen Lijun’s hand, symbolizing that Chen Lijun was officially recognized by her. Even though she struggled to smile while putting the bracelet on Chen Lijun, her face looking as stiff as though she had lost her father for three years, but it still did not diminish the significance of the action.

The high-and-mighty women from Fan’s family, not knowing what means Suizi had used, realized that she was not a girl to be trifled with. Suizi made a name for herself with just one battle.

One man’s joy is another man’s sorrow.

When Fan’s mother was on stage reading the "Ming Dynasty Literary Excerpts," the second room of Fan’s family was anxious. However, until the end of the wedding, Suizi had not sought out the second family again.
