Chapter 208: No Wonder

Chapter 208

Xu Weiwei's face contorted with laughter, revealing that she was barely holding back a fart.

Although Xu Youlin sat between Lu Shao and Xu Weiwei, Lu Shao reached past him to poke Xu Weiwei, reminding her to control her facial expressions.

Truthfully, ever since learning that Lu Shao, her so-called fiancé, was being used by Xu's Father to cover up his "illegitimate son" status - all orchestrated by Xu's Father himself - Xu Weiwei realized Lu Shao was also a victim in this situation.

Xu's Mother had conducted a DNA test using Lu Shao's and Xu's Father's hair, which proved they were not biologically related.

When Xu's Mother finally threw the test results in Xu's Father's face, she felt an immense sense of relief.

The test results had cleared Xu's Father of infidelity, and Xu's Mother should have been grateful her husband hadn't had an affair.

What made Xu's Mother even happier was being able to burst Xu's Father's delusional bubble. Upon learning Lu Shao wasn't related to him, Xu's Father had a stroke and was rushed into surgery.

The revelation had been too much for him to handle.

The first thing Xu's Father did after regaining consciousness from surgery was to ask Xu's Mother to kick Lu Shao out.

They say men don't hold grudges and it's women who are petty.

That must have been said by a man, because if men truly didn't hold grudges, why would Xu's Father want to kick Lu Shao out?

In the past, Xu's Mother had always followed her husband's lead, but after discovering his disgusting scheme, she despised him.

She wished she could anger him to death, so there was no way she would comply with his request.

The doctors and nurses emphasized that Mr. Xu needed proper care after surgery and shouldn't become overly agitated.

Xu's Mother promised to follow their instructions in front of the medical staff.

However, she absolutely refused to agree to Xu's Father's demand to kick Lu Shao out of the house.

Her reasoning was impeccable. Xu's Mother said, "Lu Shao is an orphan with unscrupulous relatives who stole his parents' assets. How could he survive on his own? If I didn't know about his situation, it would be different. But now that I do, I absolutely cannot let this child end up on the streets. Our family is well-off; we won't miss feeding one more mouth. Let's consider it charity and accumulate some good karma for our children."

Xu's Mother was usually not eloquent, often described as tongue-tied. Xu's Father, lying in his hospital bed, wondered when his wife had become so articulate. Suddenly, he remembered that these were the exact words he had privately told his wife a month ago when he brought Lu Shao home.

She had remembered his words all this time and was now throwing them back at him.

Xu's Father felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He had just opened his eyes after being wheeled out of surgery.

Hearing this conversation between mother and daughter, Lu Shao smiled.

Shi Li returned to her parents, and Huang Jie asked, "Where have you been for so long?"

"I ran into a classmate on my way back from the restroom, so we chatted for a bit."

Huang Jie carefully observed her daughter's expression. Although she didn't notice anything unusual, she began to wonder if her daughter might be secretly dating someone.

Her daughter, who used to dislike going out, suddenly enjoyed attending various gatherings and parties, and would often disappear for short periods during these events.

So, there could only be one explanation: she was dating someone.

Shi Li thought: That's right, I'm in love with gossip.

Huang Jie pondered, wondering who her daughter might be dating.

Her daughter had always liked Feng Yunhe, so it probably wasn't another boy. Besides, when Feng's father had a car accident recently, Feng Yunhe, as the son, had come to their house to deliver something.

Whatever it was, he could have sent a servant to deliver it. Why did Feng Yunhe need to come personally?

As Huang Jie was trying to figure out who her daughter's boyfriend might be, the Ji Family wedding ceremony began.

Aliali: 67358283d72ede93494505dbJi Feiyu was extremely nervous, standing next to the control panel, ready to shut down the power in case of any mishap.

Ji Feiyu thought: Shutting down the power is the best solution!

The wedding ceremony on stage was very romantic. The bride had a stunningly beautiful face that could drive people to crime, and her conservative wedding dress made her even more alluring.

The bride had no parents, so the part where the parents would give the bride away to the groom was omitted.

The bride slowly walked towards the groom, accompanied by flower girls.

The groomsmen lined up on either side of the groom, each one handsome and dashing as the groom's good friends.

Shi Li's gaze fell on the groomsman in the blue suit to the right of the groom. She thought, "Ji Chunsheng is indeed more handsome than the groom. No wonder the groom, before his death, asked his good friend to take care of his widow and family, only for that care to extend to the bedroom."

In an instant, Ji Feiyu's heart sank.

At least nothing went wrong at the wedding, so she no longer needed to worry.

Wait, what did that mean? Was her brother's life now on a countdown?
