Qi Chenglin was sweating a little. Ruan Danchen's face was almost close to his, so she naturally saw the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. Ruan Danchen immediately felt guilty and reached out to wipe the sweat for him. "Hold on a little longer."
"…" Qi Chenglin lifted Ruan Danchen up a little more and entered the elevator.
Seeing that there was no one in the elevator and everyone else was waiting for the next one, Ruan Danchen said, "Why don't you put me down and rest for a while? Anyway, no one will see us here. "
"How can I do that?" Qi Chenglin lifted Ruan Danchen up a little more, but he didn't let go. "When picking up the bride, you can't land on the ground."
This man really had a different kind of insistence on this kind of tradition.
"Then step back and lean against the wall. You won't be so tired then," Ruan Danchen said.
He could agree with this point, so he did as Ruan Danchen said and finally felt a little more comfortable.
When Qi Chenglin carried her out of the door, there was a particularly lively crackling sound of firecrackers outside. The surrounding children immediately ran out to see the bride.
In the distance, Chang Zhiyuan sat in the car, watching Ruan Danchen being carried by Qi Chenglin. He couldn't express his indescribable sadness.
She was his sister's daughter, but he couldn't see her get married openly and attend her wedding. He saw Ruan Danchen smiling so happily on Qi Chenglin's back.
Behind them, the members of the Ruan family were beaming with joy.
Old Lady Ruan and Old Master Ruan got into the wedding car under the protection of Chen Minxia and Ruan Keshan. Ruan Zeer happily held the hem of Ruan Danchen's dress in the back. The family was exceptionally lively and harmonious.
Chang Zhiyuan wiped his face, feeling that the scene in front of him was a little dazzling.
"Sister, I'm sorry … I made my niece … my niece suffered …" Chang Zhiyuan covered his face. His chest hurt uncomfortably, and his throat was sore.
"Sister, don't worry. She's living a good life now, and she's married well. In the past … she suffered, but in the future, your brother, I will definitely protect her. Sister, I'm sorry … I'm sorry … "
…
Ruan Danchen was carried into the car by Qi Chenglin. Unexpectedly, she saw the little fellow sitting opposite. There was a child safety seat on the chair. He was wearing a small suit, and his hair was specially styled.
He also wore a wine-red velvet bow tie on the collar of his white shirt, making him look particularly spirited. In the left breast pocket of the suit, there was a handkerchief. It was even folded into a beautiful shape, revealing three small tips.
Looking at the little guy, he was really full of style.
The little boy did not unbuckle his seatbelt. His body kept leaning forward, stretching the seatbelt. He reached out to Ruan Danchen. "Mommy!"
Ruan Danchen had makeup on her face, so she couldn't kiss him. She just hugged him and asked him to sit back down. "Why are you here? Aren't you with great-grandma at the old mansion?"
"If my little sister can be with you, of course I will be with you." The little fellow wriggled in the seat happily. "I … I want to follow you all the way."
Ruan Danchen moved in a little to let Qi Chenglin come in and sit down. She then asked the little fellow, "Can't you sleep a little longer at the old house? Aren't you tired coming out with me so early? "
"I was dazed for a while on the way," the little fellow said. "I'm very energetic now."
"Are you hungry? Did you have breakfast this morning? " Ruan Danchen asked again. She suddenly felt that because of the little fellow's appearance, she could not feel the tension of the wedding.
"I had a bowl of noodles in the morning." The little fellow touched his little belly. "I'll have a big meal at noon."
Ruan Danchen chatted with the little fellow all the way to the old house. Then she went to the Dynasty with the Qi family.
Chang Zhiyuan was at the entrance of the Dynasty. He did not care about the strange looks of others and looked inside.
It was especially lively at the Dynasty today. Today, because of Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen's wedding, the Qi family had booked the entire Dynasty and it was not open to the public. But it was much livelier than usual.
Apart from the wedding cars, all the families had come to attend the wedding. One after another, luxury cars stopped at the entrance. After the people inside got out of the cars, they were driven away by the chauffeurs. The cars behind them followed and stopped at their previous positions. The scene was extremely lively.
This made people who passed by stop and look. From the conversations of some people who were watching the bustling scene, they knew which family was putting on such a big show today.
It was in such a scene that Chang Zhiyuan stood by the side of the road and looked at the Dynasty across the road.
In the end, the number of cars gradually decreased. Chang Zhiyuan raised his hand and looked at his watch. The wedding was about to begin.
Chang Zhiyuan sighed and saw a waiter from Dynasty walking over from the opposite side. Chang Zhiyuan did not think that the waiter was looking for him, so he did not react. He only glanced at the waiter and then ignored him.
Unexpectedly, the waiter stopped in front of him.
Chang Zhiyuan was slightly surprised, but he did not show it on his face. The waiter in front of him said politely, "Mr. Chang, Young Master Lin invites you in."
This time, Chang Zhiyuan could no longer pretend to be calm. "Invite me? Yes … "
Was it because Qi Chenglin did not like him and did not even allow him to peep at the door?
For a moment, Chang Zhiyuan was very nervous.
The waiter did not say more and only said, "I don't know the details, but Young Master Lin asked me to invite you in and have a seat."
Chang Zhiyuan was stunned. He did not know what to say and could only follow the waiter across the road and into the Dynasty.
Along the way, he saw that the Dynasty was very lively. Occasionally, there were a few guests who had just arrived, but they were all welcomed by the waiter at the door and personally led the way to the hall. It was much better to just put a signboard in an inconspicuous position and let the guests search for it on their own.
The guests invited for the Qi family's wedding would naturally be of high status. Even if they were not as wealthy as the Qi family, they would not invite all the small families. For example, in the eyes of the Qi family, Xia Zishan was just a nouveau riche. If she had a good relationship with Ruan Danchen, as Ruan Danchen's high school classmate, the Qi family would not have minded inviting her.
But who asked her to mock and ridicule Ruan Danchen? Now, even if she tried her best to shamelessly attend the wedding, there was no way for her to do so.
Previously, Xia Zishan's father also knew that Xia Zishan and Ruan Danchen were high school classmates, so he especially wanted to attend the wedding. He did not care how big the red envelope was, unlike ordinary people who could not wait to avoid the wedding. However, even if Xia Zishan did not offend Ruan Danchen, with the status of the Xia family, she could not receive the wedding invitation from the Qi family.
Xia Zishan's father did not know what his daughter had done outside. Remembering that Xia Zishan and Ruan Danchen were high school classmates, he ran to Xia Zishan happily and asked her to get close to Ruan Danchen, ask for a wedding invitation, and go to see the world together.
She did not need to know all the people at the wedding. Even if they were sitting at the same table, it was a great thing to communicate with them.
Xia Zishan was very self-aware. She knew that Ruan Danchen would not give her a wedding invitation. Even if Ruan Danchen gave her a wedding invitation, the Qi family would not agree.
Therefore, she just agreed on the surface. After a few days, she felt very embarrassed to tell Xia Zishan's father that Ruan Danchen did not give her a wedding invitation. In fact, she was really not familiar with Ruan Danchen. Besides, there were a number of tables, and the number of wedding invitations had been fixed. There was no way to increase it.
Of course, Xia Zishan's father could not give up easily. He was busy looking for people, but it was still useless. Finally, he gave up.
In fact, although Chen Libai's family had a small status, it was really not enough to attend the wedding. Qi Chenglin thought that Chen Libai had a good taste. He used to have a little idea about Ruan Danchen and especially wanted to eat swan goose meat. By the way, he also imagined that Qi Chenglin himself was also a useless person. He felt that he should let Chen Libai come to see the world. Therefore, he specially told the old lady and Guan Liya to send a wedding invitation to the Ruan family, so that Chen Libai would completely give up and feel ashamed. In the future, when he saw Ruan Danchen, he would never be able to raise his head.
The Chen family did not know their son's hardships. They happily brought their children to see the world.
Therefore, Chang Zhiyuan walked on the road and met a lot of acquaintances. Those people were also stunned when they saw him. They all whispered in their hearts, "Didn't the old lady of the Chang family and her deceptive grandson Chang Jianan offend the Qi family? How could Chang Zhiyuan still come to the Qi family's wedding?
What was going on between the Qi family and the Chang family? Could it be that the two families had not completely broken up? Their relationship had eased again?
But if that was the case, why only Chang Zhiyuan came?
How should they treat the Chang family in the future?
The Qi family's ambiguous attitude was really a bit torturous!
Some people met their friends and hurriedly whispered to each other to discuss how to treat the Chang family.
Chang Zhiyuan heard the people around him whispering. Although he could not hear clearly what they were talking about, he could guess it. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth in self-mockery. He found that his current identity was really a little embarrassing and pitiful.
"I think, let's wait and see first!" Someone said, "Today, only Chang Zhiyuan came, didn't he? If the relationship really eased, how could he be the only one to come? At least he should bring his wife with him, right? I think Chang Zhiyuan didn't seem to be invited by an invitation. "
"I heard that Qi Chenglin and Chang Zhiyuan had been in contact for work before. It should be because the contract hasn't expired, so I'm afraid that Chang Zhiyuan was temporarily separated from the Chang family. Because of work, he was invited."
So after the discussion, everyone calmly went to find their seats for the time being.
Chang Zhiyuan followed the waiter into the auditorium. Originally, he thought that Qi Chenglin would find him an inconspicuous corner to sit down. Chang Zhiyuan was already satisfied that he could attend Ruan Danchen's wedding in person. He thought that it was his sister's blessing. However, he did not expect that the waiter kept leading him inside. They were about to reach the main table.
Finally, they stopped at the table of the Ruan family.
Because there were many people in the Qi family and the Ruan family, it was inevitable that they could not sit at the same table, so they separated into two tables.
The waiter pulled out a chair from the Ruan family's side and invited Chang Zhiyuan to take a seat.
"This …" Chang Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. He did not expect that Qi Chenglin would let him sit at the main table.
In fact, if Ruan Danchen recognized them, they should have sat together with the Ruan family. But now, they did not recognize them.
Qi Chenglin was willing to give him such dignity. Chang Zhiyuan's eyes turned red and he almost cried.
Old Madam Ruan looked at him and said softly, "Sit down."
Chang Zhiyuan nodded sullenly and sat down without saying a word. In front of Old Madam Ruan and Old Master Ruan, he was not young, but he was as honest as a child. He did not look like a cunning businessman in the business world at all.
"Old Master, Old Madam, you …" Chang Zhiyuan really did not know how to face the Ruan family.
Speaking of which, he had never met the Ruan family, so he did not know them at all. Even Ruan Keyu, he only secretly watched them in the past.
Old Madam Ruan smiled in a friendly manner and said, "We know that you have been following us all the way. You want to see Danchen get married, right?"
Chang Zhiyuan nodded honestly and admitted it.
"Haha, you look like a cabbage outside. It's quite pitiful." Old Master Ruan said with great schadenfreude. From his tone, there was not a hint of pity.
His family had reunited, and he had recognized his niece. Other people couldn't recognize her, and this was something that made the old master gloat over his misfortune!
Moreover, this was the Chang family. Old Master Ruan did not like Old Madam Chang at all. Besides, if it weren't for Mrs. Chang's selfishness, she wouldn't have told the Ruan Family that her granddaughter had been found and asked them to meet her. Otherwise, they wouldn't have raised someone else's granddaughter for so many years and still been kept in the dark until now.
Old Master Ruan only wanted to say, "Bah! This is retribution! "
Of course, Old Master Ruan also felt sorry for Chang Zhiyuan, but he could not stop the old man from gloating over his misfortune.
Hearing Old Master Ruan's words, Chang Zhiyuan blushed despite his advanced age. He lowered his head honestly.
Old Madam Ruan smiled and looked at the old man, then pointed at Ruan Ze 'er and said gently as if she was afraid of scaring Chang Zhiyuan, "This child told us about you when he went back that day. You came today because you believe that Danchen is your niece? "
Chang Zhiyuan's honest look made those who did not know him think that he had a fragile heart.
"Although I haven't found any concrete evidence, I already believe it." Chang Zhiyuan said solemnly, looking at the Ruan family without any hostility. "I did not expect things to turn out like this. Old Master, Old Madam, I … I did not choose to believe it to please the Qi family. I chose to believe it for my sister. I am a businessman, but I will never be so unscrupulous when it comes to family. Moreover, she is my dearest sister. She has always been the best to me since I was young. She treats me like my real mother. "
The Chang family's affairs were not to be revealed to outsiders. Old Madam Chang was a tough person. When she was young, she was always on guard against mistresses, letting others take advantage of her, and preventing relatives from stealing her family's property.
Thirty percent of it was Old Madam Chang's imagination. She was paranoid and always felt that someone was trying to harm her. Therefore, she was especially strict with the three children.
Chang Yuehuan was easier to deal with. Old Madam Chang felt that Chang Yuehuan was a girl who would marry into someone else's family sooner or later. There was no need to educate her perfectly and let others take advantage of her. But when it came to Chang Zhiyuan, the eldest son, Old Madam Chang was very strict with him, so strict that it made people's hair stand on end. Chang Zhiyuan suffered a lot when he was young. It was Chang Yuehuan who secretly protected him.
Therefore, Chang Zhiyuan did not feel the motherly love from Old Madam Chang, but he felt it from his eldest sister.
In the past, when his sister was alive, she would rather suffer than let him suffer.
He thought that if his sister was still alive, she would be like Chen Minxia now. Although she was no longer beautiful, her temperament was more gentle and outstanding!
Although he was old now, when he thought of his sister, Chang Zhiyuan still behaved like a child. His eyes were red and his face was gloomy.
"We believe you," Old Madam Ruan said softly.
Chang Zhiyuan looked at Old Madam Ruan, touched. He was not a fool. Now that the Ruan family knew about it, he could more or less guess what the Ruan family and the Qi family meant, and even Ruan Danchen's thoughts.
It was rare to see the Ruan family today, so he simply said, "Old Master, Old Madam, is it that … Danchen doesn't want to recognize us?"
Although he had guessed it in his heart and understood, Chang Zhiyuan still showed pain in his eyes.
Old Madam Ruan shook her head and said, "Danchen is not a cruel child. It's just that she has scruples in her heart. Will your family believe that she has no evidence in her hands? What would your family think if you suddenly told them that she was the granddaughter of your family? Besides, your mother has always disliked her. This is known to everyone. Who knows if she will think that Danchen is lying to her? Although I am not familiar with your mother, from the evaluation of others … "
Old Madam Ruan was too embarrassed to say that Old Madam Chang was unreasonable. She could only say, "Even if she finally admits that Danchen is her granddaughter, will she treat her sincerely? I am afraid that your mother did not like Danchen in the past and will not like her in the future. Will it change because of Danchen's change of identity? "
This had long been the precedent. Judging from Old Madam Chang's past behavior, her reaction was too easy to guess.
Even Chang Zhiyuan, her own son, could not refute at this time.
Therefore, Old Madam Ruan said again, "Danchen suffered so much in the early years. When these hardships are experienced by adults, they will get over it. However, she suffered since she was a child. How pitiful it is for a child to suffer. It is unbearable. Now that the family is finally reunited and recognized, we will never let Danchen suffer again. No matter who it is, we can't let her suffer. Not even her biological grandmother. "
"If your mother doesn't like it, we will not rush to let Danchen stick to her cold buttocks. We will not let a good child run to be defiled by others. Even if they don't love her, we will love her. Now her in-laws treat her like their own daughter. She has us, so there is no shortage of those who don't like her. "Old Madam Ruan was not polite with Chang Zhiyuan and spoke very straightforwardly.
Thinking of what she heard from the little fellow and Qi Chenglin about Ruan Danchen's suffering at Old Madam Chang's place, Old Madam Ruan was furious. She really did not want to have any contact with that ungrateful old lady for the rest of her life.
"I understand." Chang Zhiyuan nodded and said. He was a little dispirited.
He wanted to defend his mother, but he could not find a reason even if he wanted to. Because Old Madam Ruan was right. Old Madam Chang was really that kind of person!
Old Madam Chang was becoming more and more disgusted with Ruan Danchen. If Ruan Danchen really recognized the Chang family in the future, Old Madam Chang would probably still think that Ruan Danchen was not presentable. It was because she was not educated in the Chang family that she was so unlikeable and uneducated.
Chang Zhiyuan could think of what Old Madam Chang would say now.
If Old Madam Chang really believed it, she would not deny Ruan Danchen, but she would probably "educate" her well so that Ruan Danchen could meet her requirements.
After saying this, Old Madam Ruan said gently, "In fact, Danchen can distinguish clearly. She never makes people who are good to her sad. Isn't that why she asked you to come in to attend the wedding today? We can't control Old Madam Chang's thoughts. If she doesn't like Danchen, we won't rush her. Who cares? How can we rush to let ourselves be wronged? It's just that Chenglin said that you have always had a good relationship with your sister, and you are sincerely doing it for your sister's child. That's why I asked you to come today. "
