Chapter 1309 - The Wedding (4)

The following day, both of them returned to Beijing.

When they arrived home from the airport, they saw that there were a few people gathered at the front door.

Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan exchanged a glance. As they got out of the car, Xia Yehua rushed up to them and said, “My- my- my son is finally going to hold his wedding! This is great news after all the hard work you’ve put in!”

Shen Liangchuan: ...

She made it sound as though Qiao Lian had taken care of him a lot.

Blushing, Qiao Lian started, “Mom.”

“Eh! Let me tell you. We’ve decided to organize a grand wedding for you, what do you think?”

Qiao Lian was rather overwhelmed and said, “Mom, that’s not really necessary. Given that we’ve been married for almost a year, inviting relatives and good friends to the wedding will be good enough.”

Xia Yehua shook her head and said, “No way. You’ve planned a wedding for an old woman like me, so there’s no excuse for not having a grand one for yourself and Liangchuan! Besides, how many times can a woman have a wedding in her lifetime? Although this is my second one, I hope that you and Liangchuan will have only one. So there has to be a wedding, and a grand one.”

Qiao Lian: ...

Qiao Lian was about to say more, but Shen Liangchuan suddenly reached out and held her wrist, saying, “Fine, Mom, I’ll leave this matter in your hands then.”

Immediately, Xia Yehua nodded and said, “No problem!”

However Shen Zihao, who was standing by the side, said, “But which day do we choose? Do we have Big Brother and Sister-in-law’s wedding right after Mom’s?”

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Xia Yehua frowned and said, “It’s best for a family to have no more than one wedding a year. I think maybe it’s best that we hold off Old Li’s and my wedding till the next year. Let’s have theirs this year!”

Qiao Lian protested at once, “Mom, Uncle Li has waited so many years for you, you must not delay it anymore. We’re in no hurry for our wedding. Shen Liangchuan and I have been together a long time.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shaking her head, Xia Yehua insisted, “No way. You will have given birth next year, so you won’t be in the best of health condition. Besides, you’d be out of shape. Are you going to have a wedding carrying a six-month-old baby in your arma?! I can wait, but you can’t.”

Qiao Lian: ...

As everyone started to interrupt with their opinion, Shen Liangchuan suddenly suggested, “Why don’t we have our weddings on the same day? Can’t we do that?”

Xia Yehua fell silent for a moment.

Shen Zihao immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right, this is a great idea. Since we’re marrying off our Mom, who has looked after us for so many years, we have to make it up by bringing in a sister-in-law. Otherwise we’d be short of a person in the family.”

A silence.

That tone of reluctance... It was as though Xia Yehua was his precious daughter.

Xia Yehua glanced at Li Mao hesitantly and saw that he made no objection. Then her gaze shifted to Qiao Lian.

After all, it was her wedding. Would she be willing to share the limelight with someone else?

Obviously, she had underestimated the girl.

Qiao Lian exclaimed with excitement, “This is great! First, we wouldn’t have to book another venue. Mom already has one! Besides, we’d only need to invite the guests once and we’ll get two shares of presents.”

No one seemed to have any objections.

Hence, with everyone still dizzy from the turn of events, the wedding plans were finalized.

The event was to take place in two weeks.

During that time, Shen Liangchuan started to take up his role in the Shen family enterprise.

On a particular day after work, when he was just getting ready to leave for home to pick up Qiao Lian for the wedding photoshoot, he suddenly got a call from the Senior Master. The Senior Master summoned him to the main home, saying that there was something he wanted to discuss.
