Lu Hui glanced at him. Liang Han realized that her eyes, when not hidden behind her thick glasses, actually had a lustrous beauty that he couldn’t help but admire.

Lu Hui whispered, “We’re here to accompany Auntie Lu Ying. Auntie Kong Zhen said that Auntie Lu Ying and Auntie Xu Yun both have a daughter-in-law accompanying them, and it’s too embarrassing for her to show up alone, so she asked me to come with her to keep up appearances. That’s all I know.”

“Tsk!” Liang Han didn’t know what to say and could feel a headache coming on. Lu Hui glanced at him and added, “Don’t forget the favor you owe me. I’ll come for it when I’ve thought about how I want to spend it!”

“Tsk!” Liang Han glared at her, thinking, ‘ This girl truly doesn’t lose out on any advantage she can get.’

Lu Ying did a great job setting the mood by telling the audience about the four boys’ interesting childhood stories. Everyone enjoyed the stories, and even Xi Cheng’s expression relaxed.

Lu Ying smiled. “Xi Cheng is the one we never had to worry about out of our four unruly rascals. Han Yuan had the foresight to arrange a betrothal for him long ago, and Lin Yu is also a sensible girl. Kong Zhen, Xu Yun, and I are really envious of Han Yuan for having such a daughter-in-law.”

“Seeing them finally get married today, we’re filled with admiration as we wish them well. Fortunately, our deadbeat sons also managed to find their own life partners. Everyone will soon be able to share in our families’ joyous occasion and give our sons your well wishes, just like you did for Xi Cheng today!” Another round ot thunderous applause met her words. Xi Cheng’s gaze, however, had been fixed on Fang Xi. Sitting in her wheelchair, she looked elegant and tranquil, perfectly complementing the tall and handsome Ye Kun behind her. Xi Cheng felt very upset as he looked at the lovely couple.

Xi Cheng’s expression didn’t escape Lin Yu’s notice, and every word Lu Ying said was a mockery to her, piercing her heart like needles. Lin Yu’s wish was fulfilled—she was finally married to Xi Cheng today—but she didn’t feel any joy or happiness about it. Instead, she felt quite unhappy, especially when she saw Fang Xi’s calm and unconcerned manner below the stage. Lin Yu dearly wished she could grind the woman’s bones to dust and scatter her ashes!

The anger in Lin Yu’s heart burned brighter and brighter as she watched Lu Ying chatter on, burning out her rationality. She took a step forward and stood beside Lu Ying. “Auntie Lu,” she interrupted.

Lu Ying stopped and stared at Lin Yu with a kind smile. However, Lin Yu—who was standing right next to her—felt a chill in her heart. Lu Ying’s smile didn’t reach her eyes; there was a cold warning in them as she looked at Lin Yu.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m getting chatty in my old age. I’d better not delay your wedding any longer!” With that, Lu Ying handed the microphone to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at Lu Ying and gave her a smile that spoke volumes. “Thank you for being here today, aunties. It’s my big day today, and Xi Cheng’s childhood buddies he grew up with are all present. Why don’t I invite them up on stage so they can share in me and Xi Cheng’s joy?”

Lu Ying nodded graciously. “Sure!” She waved at the audience below, signaling for Shi Nian and the others to come over quickly. Shi Nian and Yun Nan strode on stage, arm-in-arm. Ye Kun followed, pushing Fang Xi, and Lu Hui looped her arm with Liang Han’s.

Lu Hui hushedly uttered, “Sorry, Mr. Liang, please put up with this. I have to complete the task that Auntie Kong Zhen gave me. You’d best cooperate, or you’ll get beaten up when you return home.”

What could Liang Han say to that? What else could he say? He could only do as told. Liang Han couldn’t afford to offend his mother, and he couldn’t afford to offend any woman that his mother had handpicked. He gritted his teeth and said, “Why don’t you just help me the entire way? My mom will be even happier if you keep pretending to be my girlfriend.”

Lu Hui haughtily raised her head. “Then, you’ll have to pay for my services since you’re the one I would be helping, not Auntie Kong. We’ll have to negotiate the terms properly!” Liang Han was furious but still cooperated with Lu Hui.

The audience exclaimed at the gathering on stage. It wasn’t easy to see the four young masters of the four great clans gathered together, especially when they’d all brought a female companion along. It was a rare scene indeed. The crowd began to talk as they observed the people on stage.

“Oh, my! This Lin Yu is like an ugly duckling compared to the other women. The daughters-in-law of the Shi, Ye, and Liang families are all so beautiful!”

“Hey, look at the one in the wheelchair—the one Second Young Master Ye is wheeling around. She’s Second Young Master Ye’s fiancée, but I heard that she’s also Xi Cheng’s ex-girlfriend! Yikes, talk about awkward! ”

“Good heavens! I’d forgotten about that! No wonder Xi Cheng is so enamored with her—she’s beautiful. But why is she in a wheelchair?”

“You need to get your head checked. Have you forgotten? She got hit by the Xi family’s car during Han Yuan’s birthday banquet. From the looks of it, that incident crippled her. She might have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Tsk tsk! The Second Young Master of the Ye Family is truly a devoted lover! He’s willing to marry his pal’s old flame, even if she’s a cripple. Tsk tsk!”

“Could there be more to the story? Han Yuan may appear to be the toughest and scariest among the four madams, and the others seem gentle and sweet, but look at their husbands and sons. Their men are all outstanding. There’s no way meek and mild-mannered women could marry or raise powerful men like that. Lu Ying dotes on her youngest son the most; she would never have agreed to their marriage if that woman was so deplorable.”

“That’s true! Well, there’s no use guessing.. Let’s watch this drama unfold!”
