Chapter 427: Four-Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Delusional

Han Yuan sneered, “No wonder Fang Xi wanted to thank us for not letting you marry her. You’re indeed not worthy of her.”

Xi Cheng was unconvinced. “Mom! How can you say that?! I’m your son!”

Han Yuan had nothing to say. She wasn’t even in the mood to gloat and jeer at Lin Yu anymore. Lin Yu was a failure, but she was a greater failure than her for having a son like Xi Cheng.

Ye Kun and Fang Xi’s wedding date was finally set after having been changed again and again. Ye Kun had lost a lot of hair worrying over this.

As Fang Xi insisted on having a double wedding together with Yun Nan and wanted to make it a surprise to Yun Nan and Shi Nian according to the original plan, and with Yun Nan and the Shi family being met with one incident after another, Fang Xi had the wedding date pushed back and postponed again and again.

Ye Kun had no complaints, of course, but he was still secretly anxious. Ye Kun was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after settling the Xi Corporation’s matters, and put the wedding date back on the agenda.

Hence, everyone began to get busy again. Yun Nan and Shi Nian continued to pretend they didn’t know anything, doing their best not to dampen everybody’s excitement.

Everyone was hyped up about the upcoming wedding, happily working on the preparations. It was just that Shi Xiu rarely came over to help recently. Fortunately, many hands make light work, and there was plenty of time. Soon, all the wedding’s matters had been prepared.

Even so, Xu Yun, Kong Zhen, and Lu Ying still came over to Yun Innovations every day. Xu Yun and Lu Ying came because they felt at ease when they saw the things prepared. Kong Zhen, accompanying them, was so envious that she was numb, but she adored Lu Hui, so she was happy to see the girl every day, busying away. ‘This hardworking young lady is leagues better than that precious son of mine,’ Kong Zhen thought.

“Shi Xiu, that girl! She hasn’t been around every day these days. I don’t know what she’s so busy with,” Xu Yun complained.

Kong Zhen harrumphed, “You should just be happy with what you have, you lucky woman. What other young lady her age is as motivated and hardworking as Shi Xiu? She has all her seniors and the staff here watching over her, so don’t worry. You should think about your congratulatory speech at the wedding instead.”

Xu Yun chuckled, “That’s for Shi Yun to worry about. It’s none of my business.”

Lu Ying hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “Fang Xi invited Mr. Gu Bei and his wife to be the wedding officiants. They’re also Yun Nan’s grandparents, so they’ll be with Yun Nan. With Mr. Mo being chosen to be the wedding’s chief witness, Fang Xi has no family left to stand with her in her wedding. I feel sorry for her.”

Xu Yun and Kong Zhen looked at each other and fell silent. After some thought, Xu Yun suggested, “Kong Zhen, why don’t you take Fang Xi as your goddaughter? That way, you can stand at Fang Xi’s side as a member of her family.”

Kong Zhen’s eyes lit up. “Sure! I have no problem with that! Lady Luck has finally smiled at me! I was originally lamenting the fact my family will be playing no part in such a grand occasion. My idiot son’s romantic progress is too slow to make it in time to hold a wedding together with his buddies! So it’s great that I get to have Fang Xi as a goddaughter! Oh my! I have to prepare a dowry for Fang Xi! There’s still time! There’s still time!”

Xu Yun found Kong Zhen’s eager antics funny, while Lu Ying was extremely grateful. “Thank you for doing this, Kong Zhen. I just think that Fang Xi will be happier in the future if she has a formal family member standing at her wedding.”

Kong Zhen replied, “I’m sure that, with a mother-in-law as nice as you, Fang Xi will be very happy. And I, her newly appointed godmother, will add icing to her cake! Xu Yun, help us take care of the godparent ceremony and settle the matter quickly!”

Xu Yun smiled and agreed to her request before she said to Lu Ying, “Look at how happy she is!”

Kong Zhen rolled her eyes at her. “You’re the only one among us who’s lucky enough to have a daughter. I didn’t feel there was much difference when the kids were young but it’s only when they grew up that I realized that daughters are indeed more caring and thoughtful than sons! So I’m really happy to have found a ready-made daughter!”

Xu Yun kept her promise. That night, she found a restaurant and invited everyone together to hold a small ceremony for Kong Zhen and Fang Xi. Everybody was delighted at the news.

Shi Xiu was also informed that she had to go back to participate. She put down her phone and looked at the gloomy Lan Long sitting opposite her. She stopped smiling and asked with a frown, “Why are you so unhappy today?”

Lan Long looked up and smiled faintly. “Because you haven’t paid attention to me for the past few days,” he answered.

Shi Xiu’s cheeks warmed, and her lips curled into a smile. “I’m too busy these days. Work and family matters have all been squeezed together. I’ll be able to relax a little after my brothers and sisters-in-law’s wedding ceremony.”

Lan Long changed the subject. “Have you finished filming your interview program?”

Shi Xiu nodded. “The filming part is done. We still have some editing to do. After that, I’ll be participating in the production of my sister-in-law’s documentary.”
