Qi Chengzhi glared at Fang Anci from aside. He knew that the Mu family wanted to take this opportunity to get back into the social circle. The Mu family’s status had gotten a little shaky after that incident in MU.

Song Yu had her portion of experience in dealing with businesses across dinner tables. She was not easily fooled by Fang Anci, so she just smiled out of courtesy and gave her no direct answer.

Mu Huili suppressed his anger—he was actually more crossed at Mu Sisi. if it was not for her, the Mu family would not get into this situation.

“Chengzhi, does this mean we’ll let bygones be bygones?” Mu Huili asked carefully.

“Mr. Mu, please be direct,” Qi Chengzhi said blandly.

“It’s about MU. MU is going to start very soon, but we’re still having some problems. We understand that you did that to punish Sisi. Since she’s learned her lesson and MU suffered some losses, can we forgo everything this time?” Mu Huili said. “We’ve tried to contact some of the artists and invited them to our promotional events, but no one dared to come. The Wei family’s mall that had agreed to let us have our booth also retracted their offer...”

“Mr. Mu, the people from The Great Eight Families would never eat our words. I did pull some strings to do this, and you’re aware of the reason behind it. Since they’ve decided to help me, they won’t take it back. If they do, people would see that as being fickle. I’m afraid that I can’t help you with this. However, that incident was directed towards Mu Sisi, since it’s already done, I won’t continue with it,” Qi Chengzhi said plainly.

“That means MU will never have the chance to get into the Wei family’s mall, and no artist would be willing to help us promote as long as we stay in B City?” Mu Huili’s expression darkened and it was not pleasant looking.

Qi Chengzhi nodded.

Mu Huili’s hands grasped his knees tightly. “Don’t you think you’re being too much?”

Fang Anci quickly held Mu Huili back and made him endure it before turning around to Qi Chengzhi and said, “Chengzhi, why should we end up in this state? You and Huaisheng had been good friends all along. You even went over to Huaisheng’s place to eat back then in the U.S. quite frequently. Huaisheng is even similar to you, he has high standards when it comes to friends. You’re one of them among his small circle of friends. We also like you the most among the others and treated you as half of our son.”

Fang Anci laughed gently. “I even wished that you could be my son, to become a part of the family. I’ve also had the intention to pair you and Sisi, but Huaisheng told me that you already had a girl that you liked back in the country. That’s why I called it off.”

Fang Anci smiled at Song Yu and said, “Now that I saw you, you must be the girl that Chengzhi liked.”

A vague blush adorned Song Yu’s face as she glanced at Qi Chengzhi sheepishly.

Fang Anci smiled lightly. “I don’t want to see our friendship after so many years get destroyed because of Sisi’s foolishness.”

The expression on Qi Chengzhi’s face was minimal. He did not respond much and just said, “Me too.”

“So...” a gleeful expression flashed past Fang Anci’s face.

“That’s why I’m not going to take any more actions,” Qi Chengzhi said in a plain tone.

Fang Anci’s expression stiffened—she did not expect that her speech just now had no effect.

“Since you’re not pursuing, why don’t you tell We Ziqi and Han Zhuoli to retract their orders?” Mu Huili said coldly.

Qi Chengzhi stood up and said, “They’re not my subordinates, and I can’t order them around. Our family had gone to every family from the Great Eight and asked for their help. Each family was ready to attack. Until today, only the Wei family and Han family made a move. Since we’ve talked it out today to put the past behind us, I’ll go to the others and tell them not to carry on with the plan.”

“You...” Mu Huili was so furious that he could not speak properly. How shameless could Qi Chengzhi be? How was this putting the past behind?

“Actually, both of you came today to ask for the surveillance footage from the bar, am I right? The MU incident is secondary.” Qi Chengzhi scanned Mu Huili and Fang Anci with his jet-black eyes. “I feel more secure if I kept a copy. As long as Mu Sisi doesn’t harass us anymore, we won’t say a thing. Of course, the video won’t be made public.”

“If this is the case, we’ll leave now.” Mu Huili stood up stiffly.

Fang Anci also stood up slowly and said, “Chengzhi, what about your friendship with Huaisheng? Is it gone because of Sisi?”

“I still admire Huaisheng very much.” Qi Chengzhi did not give a direct answer.

Mu Huili left with Fang Anci unhappily with a long face.

The visit from Mu Huili and Fang Anci did not affect Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu’s mood. They already knew about Mu Sisi marrying Gao Jingqiu.

After their departure, Song Yu continued framing the photos while Qi Chengzhi placed them up on the wall.

When the wall in the living room was almost full, Qi Chengzhi gathered the hammer and nails and headed towards the stairway connecting to the second floor. He then put up the photos chronologically along the stairs, starting with their wedding photo and then with Song Yu’s pregnant photos.

“We’ll add on the photos up to when Youjin is born.” Qi Chengzhi admired his finished result with satisfaction.

Song Yu felt that he was on the way to become a photo maniac.

She went over and hugged Qi Chengzhi’s arm. “We’ll have to take more photos of us the next time we go out.”

Song Yu stared at the photos on the wall and said, “It feels a bit dull with only our wedding photos as if something’s missing.”

Qi Chengzhi lowered his head and looked at her with a tender, loving gaze. His eyelashes were slightly curved when he lowered his head and kissed her lips gently.

Song Yu felt that it was quite rare for men to have such good-looking eyebrows. If his nose and eyes were covered, exposing only his eyes, he had the resemblance of a Western beauty with sharp features.

“I’ll put them up once the studio sends us the remaining photos,” Qi Chengzhi said softly.

...

...

Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue’s wedding had been set on the 19th of October at Dynasty. Even though this was Chengyue’s second marriage, the Qi family still wanted to have a big wedding for Qi Chengyue. They had to consider Cheng Dongge’s side, especially his parents. Their son was going to marry his wife and it should be grand and not too shabby.

At the same time, they wanted to show their support for Qi Chengyue and acknowledge the importance of this wedding. This wedding was much more impressive and lavish that her wedding with Jian Yi.

Apart from the Great Eight Families, some families including the Li family and the Gao family were all invited to the wedding. They even extended the invitation to the Mu family even though Grandmother Qi was not too happy about it. She still allowed it.

Since Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu were already married and Song Yu was pregnant, both of them did not participate in the bride and groom’s team. They went to Dynasty together with Grandmother Qi and met the Mu and Gao family at the entrance. To their surprise, both families came together.

Gao Jingqiu and Mu Sisi were walking alongside. Gao Jingqiu dared not linger his gaze on Song Yu in front of so many people. Mu Sisi could not resist and gave one last glimpse at Qi Chengzhi and shun away immediately as if she was too ashamed about what had happened. She could not look Qi Chengzhi anymore.

Grandfather Qi and Grandmother Qi greeted the Mu family out of courtesy.

Even though Mu Huili was displeased with Qi Chengzhi the last time they met in Viewpark Residence, he dared not disrespect Grandmother Qi and Grandfather Qi. He came up to greet sincerely, “Mr. Qi, Madam Qi, my daughter’s immaturity caused too many troubles. Her mother and I came over this time to educate her.”

Grandmother Qi answered unwillingly. She was deeply affected by Mu Sisi’s harassment and was not too willing to entertain them further. No matter how sincere Mu Huili’s apology seemed, she still felt that it was all a pretense.

Gao Shenghe saw Mu Huili was not budging anytime soon so he said understandingly, “Brother Mu, we’ll head inside first.”

Mu Huili answered hurriedly and glanced at Gao Shenghe with a grateful gaze. Gao Shenghe greeted the Qi family respectfully before entering Dynasty with his wife and Gao Jingqiu.

Only then did Mu Huili say, “Mr. Qi, Madam Qi, we dare not pay a visit without informing you beforehand. Since we’re here today, please give a chance to Sisi so that she can apologize.”

Grandmother Qi arched her eyebrows. She was not too enthusiastic about this. Grandfather Qi did not say anything. He just turned his gaze towards Mu Sisi who was standing beside and looked rather unwilling.

Mu Huili yanked Mu Sisi over and barked, “Apologize now!”

With an ashen face and a lowered head, Mu Sisi murmured, “I’m sorry, Mr. Qi, Madam Qi.”

“Ms. Mu, to be fair, you don’t owe us an apology. We’re angry because we felt bad for our grandson and granddaughter-in-law.” Grandmother Qi straightened her back and raised her chin. She said those words in formal Mandarin as if it was accompanied by stage effects.

Mu Sisi lowered her head and gritted her teeth. What Grandmother Qi meant was for her to apologize to Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu.

However, she did not think that she was in the wrong. How was she wrong when all she did was out of her love for Qi Chengzhi? She truly hated Song Yu right to her guts.

Without saying anything further, Mu Huili yanked Mu Sisi to stand before Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu. When Mu Sisi lowered her head, her gaze fell on Song Yu’s belly. Looking at her growing belly that was carrying Qi Chengzhi’s child, she was extremely envious when she thought that she could never have that.

“Apologize!” Mu Huili ordered sternly.

With a pale face and trembling lips, Mu Sisi said sobbingly, “Brother Chengzhi, I’m sorry.”

“Please call me Mr. Qi,” Qi Chengzhi said coldly.

Mu Sisi’s whole body stiffened while both her hands balled into fists. ‘Why can’t she call him brother Chengzhi?’ she thought.

“Mr. Qi,” Mu Sisi called him with her jaws clenched tightly.

Qi Chengzhi nodded as if he was rather satisfied and said, “Actually, my wife was hurt the most.”

“Apologize to Song Yu,” demanded Mu Huili.

“Song—”

When Mu Sisi just spoke, Song Yu’s gentle voice interjected her, “Excuse me, please address me as Mrs. Qi.”

Qi Chengzhi looked at Song Yu with a tender gaze when he heard it. He arched his eyebrows, his eyes and the corner of his mouth were overflowing with joy.

Song Yu felt embarrassed and squeezed his hand. Mu Sisi heard Qi Chengzhi said with a raspy voice over her head, “Cheeky.”

Tears rolled down Mu Sisi’s cheeks. She could sense her father’s cold gaze even though her head remained lowered. Feeling humiliated, she said softly, “Mrs. Qi, I’m so sorry to cause so many problems in the past. I’m... wrong to treat you so rudely.”

Song Yu glanced at Qi Chengzhi and saw him nodded. She said, “Ms. Mu, I genuinely hope that you’ll live your life well. I’m already grateful if you don’t come looking for us in the future.”

Mu Sisi remained quiet with her head lowered. Song Yu could see that she was shaking all this time.

Mu Huili took a deep breath and looked towards Grandfather and Grandmother Qi. “Mr. Qi, Madam Qi, I’m sorry to cause such a big scene because of my daughter. Thank you for not holding a grudge against the Mu family. We’ve just been here not long ago, we’d be grateful if you could forgive us if we did anything wrong.”

“Mr. Mu, the Qi family is rather reasonable. We won’t stoop down to the level of others so easily,” Grandfather Qi said plainly. “In fact, if we really want to take action, it won’t be this scale.”

Mu Huili was stunned. He wanted to move his lips to squeeze a smile but he failed.

“Aiyo, look at me. My old body can’t stand for too long anymore, and my back and legs are starting to hurt.” Grandmother Qi placed her hand on her hips and frowned as if she was in a lot of pain.

Xia Wenna hurried forward to help Grandmother Qi. She bent her knees as though she was about to fall.

“We won’t bother you guys further. Please carry on inside,” Mu Huili could only answer this even though he knew that Grandmother Qi was just acting.

“Hehe, we’ll excuse ourselves then,” Grandmother Qi said weakly. She then pressed on her head and seemed like she was having a headache too.

She turned around and limped her way into Dynasty with Xia Wenna holding her up.

When they were reaching the hall, Grandfather Qi could not tolerate any more and said, “Stop acting, they can’t see you here.”

Grandmother Qi cleared her throat and straightened her back. Her body was perfectly fine and healthy.

Xia Wenna knew that Grandmother Qi was just acting but she was also amazed by how genuine it looked.

“Can’t you be a role model and teach Youxuan something good? He’s following your footsteps now,” Grandfather Qi mumbled.

Grandmother Qi pouted. “I won’t fight with you on such an auspicious day.”

Qi Youxuan raised his head to look at Grandmother Qi and turned towards Grandfather Qi. He asked Guan Liya, “Grandmother, what did I do wrong?”

Guan Liya glanced at Qi Chengzhi before looking at her grandson. She shook her head and sighed before saying, “You take your eldest uncle as your role model, do you think it’s good?”

“...” Qi Chengzhi and Xia Wenna were speechless.

Guan Liya let out a sigh. Her good grandson had been ruined by his eldest uncle.

Qi Youxuan’s doe eyes rolled and caught a glimpse of the Wei family who had just entered. Little Muran was wearing a white lace dress, looking exactly like a bride.

Qi Youxuan and Wei Muran were the designated page boy and flower girl. Qi Youxuan was truly thankful to his aunt from the bottom of his heart for creating such an opportunity. At the same time, he felt that his aunt as exquisite taste, knowing that Wei Muran and himself looked very compatible with each other just by one look.

Qi Youxuan released his hand from Guan Liya and ran towards Little Muran. The Wei family headed over to greet the Qi family. Then, Wei Ran handed Little Muche to Wei Ziqi before taking Qi Youxuan and Little Muran to the bride’s waiting room so that they would lead the ceremony when the wedding starts.

Qi Chengzhi led Song Yu and the others into the hall, where they met Li Zhuoan at the entrance who came out to smoke.

Li Zhuoan was stunned. He put out the cigarette when he saw Song Yu’s belly. He then raised his head to greet the elders of the Qi family.

Qi Chengzhi gave him a slight nod before bringing Song Yu into the hall.

“Never thought that Song Yu could marry into the Qi family and even got pregnant. Who said that Qi Chengzhi was just toying with her?” Wu Lijun said coldly while she stared at them.

“Who knew she can still be so ostentatious when she’s pregnant with her ex-brother-in-law?” Li Qianyi said softly. Even though she said it out loud, she was also afraid that someone might hear what she just said.

“It seems like the Qi family really adores Song Yu. She has such a good life, being able to get a hold of the best person in the Qi family not long after her family went into bankruptcy.” Wu Lijun slammed the teacup onto the table with a chilly expression.

Li QIanyi glanced at Li Zhuoan right behind the Qi family who just came in. His gaze was fixated on Song Yu all the way. She could not fathom what was so attractive about Song Yu’s plump figure that his eyes were almost popping out of its sockets.

In Li Zhuoan’s eyes, his feelings for Song Yu was not so deep or affectionate. Just that Song Yu was his crush back then in Jixia High School. She could be considered as his first love, that was the reason why he could not let her go so easily.

Li Qianyi stopped staring and glanced at Wu Lijun. Her expression worsen and said, “Right, I heard that you’re going to be engaged to Li Zhuoan soon?”

Wu Lijun snickered and held the teacup up to hide her expression. She said, “I haven’t decided yet.”

Li Qianyi then scoffed. “I see that Li Zhuoan still doesn’t have the idea of settling down. Is he still longing for Song Yu?”

“What can he hope for from a married woman? You said that as if she still has value. Everything she owns now is because of Qi Chengzhi, isn’t it?” Wu Lijun said unconvincingly, and her voice could reflect her unhappiness.

Li Qianyi said plainly, “Not really. The crucial factor is that Qi Chengzhi loves her very much and the Qi family also accepts her. Who would care about the past if they have in-laws like that? Everything your husband owns will also be yours naturally. I heard that Qi Chengzhi transferred all his assets under Song Yu’s name. If we’re judging based on that, Qi Chengzhi is broke now. Look at the way Qi Chengzhi stares at Song Yu—he can’t even move away from her. Even though Song Yu’s pregnant and her body went out of shape, he still thinks she’s the most beautiful person. I’d have no regrets if I can find a man who loves me like that.”

“Humph!” Wu Lijun could not help but humph coldly and stopped talking.

...

...

All the guests arrived not long after and it was time for the wedding. The music started when the doors of the hall opened. Qi Youxuan and Wei Muran walked in.

Qi Youxuan wore a black suit and a red-brown striped bowtie, looking exceptionally handsome. His big round belly was nowhere to be seen.

Wei Muran was wearing a white lace dress, her curls distributed evenly on her shoulders with white and yellow flowers on her head.

Both children carried a flower basket and took out pink rose petals and scattered them onto the red carpet with their chubby white hands.

Wei Ziqi squinted and looked at them both. Suddenly, he had a vision as if this was going to be the wedding of these two kids. He could not help but think of them walking down the red carpet in the future. He was not very happy about it.

The red carpet was scattered with pink petals, looking very romantic. Qi Chengyue walked into the hall with Qi Zhongxun beside her. They walked step-by-step according to the rhythm of the music towards Cheng Dongge.

Guan Liya sobbed uncontrollably when Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge exchanged vows. She sincerely hoped that Qi Chengyue would be happy this time.
