At the Zheng Family.
As the wedding day neared, the entire Zheng Family was beaming with joy.
In the living room, Mrs. Zheng was examining the wedding decorations as well as the dowry orders she had prepared for Zheng Baozhu.
At this time, a servant walked in from outside the door and reported with a smile, "Madam, the eldest young miss’s wedding dress has been delivered."
"Is that so? Quickly bring it in and send it upstairs for the pearl to try. " As Mrs. Zheng spoke, she put down the things in her hands and quickly stood up.
Following that, a staff member from a wedding shop walked in with a wedding dress in hand.
Mrs. Zheng led the group upstairs to Zheng Baozhu’s room. At this time, Zheng Baozhu was applying a facial mask. Mrs. Zheng knocked on the door and gently pushed it open. "Baozhu, your wedding dress is here. Try showing it to Mommy."
Hearing this, Zheng Baozhu immediately stood up from the reclining chair, took off the mask on her face, and happily looked towards the door.
After Mrs. Zheng entered, the staff from the wedding shop behind her also entered. Zheng Baoru looked at the pure white wedding dress in their hands and couldn’t help but feel happy.
He stepped forward and received the wedding dress. Opening it, he placed it on his body and turned to look at Mrs. Zheng. "Mommy, do you think I’m beautiful?"
"Miss Zheng, let’s put on your makeup. Today, we invited a stylist and makeup artist to come with you. We’ll fix your makeup and you won’t have to worry about your makeup anymore." The wedding shop assistant said with a polite smile.
Hearing this, Zheng Baozhu nodded, "Then let’s hurry up, put on some makeup, and then change clothes."
The makeup artist immediately went up to her and began to make her makeup.
After a while of busy work, the makeup was done. Zheng Baozhu looked at herself in the mirror, her beautiful eyes filled with happiness.
"You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen." The makeup artist sincerely said as she looked at her masterpiece.
"Your skills are pretty good." Having been praised by others, Zheng Baozhu was naturally in a good mood. After confirming her makeup, she stood up to test the wedding dress.
The wedding dress had been tried out yesterday because it wasn’t custom-made, but had been bought. The size was a bit different from her body, and thanks to the designer’s night work, the wedding dress could be delivered today.
After changing into her wedding dress, the stylist had also tied up her hair. Her current appearance was that of a gorgeous bride.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter, who was wearing a white muslin. She was so excited that tears were about to flow from her eyes.
Seeing how emotional her mother was, Zheng Baozhu couldn’t help but laugh, "Mommy, I haven’t even gotten married yet and you’re already so sad. In two days time, I’ll actually get married. Why don’t you just cry?"
When Mrs. Zheng heard her daughter laughing at her, she glared at her. "You heartless child. Mommy can’t bear to part with you, but you actually dare to laugh at Mommy."
"Okay, okay, Mommy, I was wrong, okay? I won’t make you sad anymore. " Zheng Baoru covered his mouth as he spoke, but his eyes were still smiling.
"Miss Zheng, what jewelry are you going to wear on your wedding day? If it’s convenient, can you bring it out for us to match? " The stylist said again.
"I was just wondering if I should wear the diamonds or the pearls. You should remind me, hurry up and match them with mine." As Zheng Baozhu spoke, she opened the big jewelry box on her dressing table. Inside were a variety of precious jewelry, including a set of diamond jewelry, which was the wedding gift Mr. and Mrs. Zheng had prepared for her.
The stylist first looked at the diamond suit with a face full of admiration. "This set of jewelry is really beautiful. If it was matched with Miss Zheng’s temperament, it would definitely make the guests light up."
As soon as she said that, her gaze fell onto a string of white pearls on the ground floor.
The pearls were plump and exuded a bright luster, causing one to be unable to tear their eyes away from them with a single glance.
"This pearl necklace is so beautiful." As the stylist spoke, he took out the pearl necklace and placed it on Zheng Baozhu’s neck. "The pearl’s whiteness paired with Miss Zheng’s skin color, coupled with the white of the wedding dress, makes Miss Zheng’s entire body look pure and flawless, like a piece of beautiful jade."
"I also think that pearl necklace suits my Chinese style wedding dress." "This necklace was given to her by my mother when she was married to my father. She asked for the blessings of a monk, wearing this necklace, she will be happy for the rest of her life."
She glanced at her mother. "Am I right? "Mommy."
"Yes, Jewel, that’s how you got your name. "So you can rest assured, your marriage will definitely be very happy in the future." Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter benevolently, thinking back to the time when she was married. Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
Zheng Baoru turned her head to look at herself in the mirror, her fingers stroking the round and plump pearls, just as she was fantasizing about her blissful life with Su Chen Hao, suddenly, she felt her neck loosen up, the pearls’ thread suddenly snapped, and the white pearls fell off one by one without any forewarning, rolling all over the room.
This sudden turn of events caused Zheng Baozhu to turn pale with fright. Mrs. Zheng was also surprised, quickly having her people squat down and pick up the pearls.
For a time, everyone in the room was in a mess. Because Zheng Baozhu was wearing her wedding dress, her movements were slow, and she couldn’t bend down to pick it up. She could only stare at it anxiously.
After much difficulty, the group finally picked up the pearl and placed it in Zheng Baoru’s hands. Mrs Zheng counted it and frowned. "Why is there still one more?"
"Isn’t it nine of them?" Hearing this, Zheng Baozhu was also stunned.
"There are only eight of them here. Originally, there had been a total of nine pellets, which meant that it had been there for a long time. "Hurry up and look for one. The other one is missing." Mrs. Zheng said, letting them all look for it.
Strangely, everyone had searched through the entire room, even the bottom of the bed and the dead ends, but they could not find the last pearl.
Zheng Baozhu sat on the chair with an unhappy face, looking at the stylist, "It’s all your fault. Let me try the jewelry. Now that one of my pearls has disappeared, what do you think we should do?"
The stylist did not expect that Zheng Baozhu would suddenly turn hostile and push the blame onto herself. She felt wronged for a moment, but the customer was her god, so she could not refute her words. She could only lower her head and say, "Miss Zheng, don’t worry. We will do our best to help you find that pearl."
"Find?" Where can I find it? My room has been turned upside down, haven’t we found it yet? " Zheng Baozhu said in a huff.
Mrs. Zheng felt her daughter was a bit rude and unreasonable, but considering that she only cared about the necklace and was rather anxious, she tried to persuade her: "Baozhu, don’t worry, I won’t let you out of this house. We can’t wait and find her again, maybe we’ll find her after a while. If it’s really no good, we can still wear diamond necklaces. "
"Mommy, how can I not be anxious? It’s not like you don’t know what this necklace means. On my wedding day, I must wear this pearl necklace! " Zheng Baozhu’s face was full of insistence.
Thus, everyone began their third round of carpet searches.
Unfortunately, that pearl seemed to have grown wings, and he was unable to find it even if he was to die. For a moment, Zheng Bao Zhu’s mood went from heaven to hell, and his entire person became exceptionally irritable.
She felt that the broken pearl string was not a good omen, and it made her uneasy.
