Kong Zhen had been quite resentful over her son’s matter these past few days. She was very envious when Han Yuan invited her over to help her choose a gown and matching jewelry for Lin Yu. Han Yuan read her mind and strongly recommended Yun Liu.
Kong Zhen also knew the girl and had a good impression of her. However, her son immediately ran for the hills and didn’t return home for several days when he heard she planned to match him with Yun Liu. Kong Zhen was so furious that she almost issued an arrest warrant for him. Seeing that there was nothing she could do, she could only share her grievances with Xu Yun.
Then, Kong Zhen heard many things about Yun Liu from Xu Yun and understood why her son would hide far away from the girl. She couldn’t help but be angry at Han Yuan, thinking, ‘ Why would she introduce such a girl to me? What bad intentions she has.’
Coincidentally, Lu Ying came to Xu Yun to discuss her son’s wedding and decided to visit Fang Xi at her workplace, so Kong Zhen followed them. Rumor had it that Lu Ying’s daughter-in-law was Xi Cheng’s ex-girlfriend, and Han Yuan had called the girl a hussy in public. Thus, her reputation was fairly bad, but Lu Ying ignored it completely. She was filled with love and pity when she mentioned her daughter-in-law and only had good things to say about the girl.
Kong Zhen was the straightforward type and quickly agreed with Xu Yun and Lu Ying’s viewpoint: As long as their sons were happy, they—as mothers-in-law—would accept their daughters-in-law a hundred percent. After all, their sons would be living their lives with their daughters-in-law, so as long as their sons liked these girls, then their sons’ happiness was their happiness.
The betrothal gifts Lu Ying and Xu Yun chose weren’t as ostentatious as Han Yuan’s; that woman was all about showing off the Xi family’s wealth and status. Lu Ying would choose gifts according to her daughter-in-law’s temperament and preferences; this respect was more welcoming and heartwarming. Kong Zhen mostly saw a mother-in-law’s authority and a daughter-in-law’s obedience in Han Yuan and Lin Yu’s interactions. Kong Zhen felt she wasn’t cut out to be Han Yuan’s type of mother-in-law. Lu Ying and Xu Yun’s type was more suitable for her.
Lu Ying wanted to pick a set of jewelry from her heirloom accessories to give to her daughter-in-law, but she didn’t know what kind of accessories would suit Fang Xi’s bridal dress, so the three women promptly went to Yun Innovations to have a look at the wedding dress. More importantly, Xu Yun also had the intention of holding a wedding ceremony and wanted to discuss it with Yun
Nan.
This trip wasn’t only an eye-opener for Kong Zhen, but she also had an unexpected gain. ‘So that good-for-nothing son ofmine is actually such a “promising” man!’ she thought. ‘ This fluffy-haired girl called Lu Hui beside me is quite genuine and adorable!
However, before Kong Zhen could chat further and get to know Lu Hui more closely, she was stunned by Fang Xi’s gown. The three madams were blown away when they saw the hung-up red auspicious dress.
Lu Ying finally spoke after a long while. “Fang Xi, it’s a good thing I came to take a look. Otherwise, it would be a great pity if I matched the wrong jewelry to this splendid dress.”
Fang Xi beamed at her, full of happiness.
“Thank goodness the Ye family has some wealth and status, or we wouldn’t be worthy of this lady!” Lu Ying said to the crowd gathered around them as she lightly stroked the embroidery on the gown.
Fang Xi didn’t think much of Lu Ying’s words because of her lost memories, but they shook the others in Yun Innovations. No betrothal gift—no matter how expensive—could compare with this show of Lu Ying’s approval.
Miss An’s eyes were moist as she replied, “Thank you, Madam. It was the least we could do. We only wish for Fang Xi and Ye Kun to be happy for the rest of their lives. ”
Lu Ying nodded. “They surely will. They’ll definitely live happily with you all’s blessings!”
She looked at Fang Xi tenderly and held her hand. Fang Xi leaned her head gently on Lu Ying’s shoulder. Losing her memories didn’t seem to be a loss to her. The people around her loved her very much, and she was very happy.
“*Cough*” Xu Yun cleared her throat and politely asked Miss An and her costume team, “If Yun Nan and Fang Xi are to hold a wedding together, how long would it take to rush out another red auspicious dress?”
“Ah?” Everyone at Yun Innovations was shocked and then pleasantly surprised.
Xu Yun hurriedly said, “I actually came here today to discuss this matter with Yun Nan, but I haven’t had the chance to tell her yet. And now, seeing Fang Xi’s gown, I want to hold her and Shi Nian’s wedding as soon as possible, even more.”
Shi Xiu was elated. “Mom, that’s a great idea! It’s awesome! This way, it’ll be double the excitement! Fang Xi, what do you think?”
Fang Xi was naturally overjoyed. “Miss An, can you rush out another dress in time?”
Miss An chuckled, “We can’t disappoint such a good occasion. We’ll rush the dress out even if we have to work nonstop!”
Xu Yun and Shi Xiu were delighted at that. “But I have a suggestion. I don’t know if it’s feasible, though,” Miss An continued. Everyone looked at her, curious.
Miss An smiled mischievously. “How about we give Yun Nan a surprise? Let’s not tell her the news.”
The crowd did a double-take..
