Rebirth to Save Myself

Chapter 138 Wedding (2)

A winding wooden path was built on the meticulously arranged lawn, with a flower basket placed at regular intervals on both sides. These flower baskets were connected by pink ribbons and extended all the way to the center of the stage, where a combination of letters, C and L, representing Chen Wanying and Lin Zhe, was placed on an iron frame and decorated with bouquets.

"It's said that this design was specially commissioned by a designer, and it took many drafts to finalize it." Su Xia glanced at the highly artistic outfit and couldn't help but exclaim.

"What's the big deal? I just heard the maid say that the cost of just this scene alone is no less than that." Ye Zhenzhen made a five-point gesture with her hand.

"Moreover, these flowers were all airlifted from abroad, including the flowers for tomorrow's ceremony," Lu Lu added from the side.

"After all, both families have gained these two people, and since it's a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, it definitely has to be grand and solemn," Su Xia said, standing to the side and looking at the two people who were ready in the distance.

After confirming that the newlyweds were ready, the emcee went on stage and began the ceremony under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Dear guests and friends, welcome to the wedding of Chen Wanying and Lin Zhe. I am Yunlan, their high school classmate and the emcee. When I first heard the news that they were getting married, my first reaction was, 'Finally, finally these two have put their wedding on the agenda!' So when Wanying invited me to be the emcee for her lawn wedding, I immediately booked a flight back to China. This is a wonderful occasion, and I absolutely had to attend."

I heard they were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little. Sometimes I really envy their relationship. Back in high school, Lin Zhe was practically threatening Wan Ying's suitors, afraid his little sweetheart would be snatched away. As for me, I was fortunate enough to participate in this great project of being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and I'm sure many of you here have also had your fill of it. If so, please respond!

"That's right, that's right!"

"I'm so full!"

"I was forced to eat this dog food, just thinking about it makes me feel exhausted."

"I have heard the voice of the people, and we would like to invite the groom to come forward and share his thoughts."

As the soothing tune of Shortcut to Heaven began to play, Lin Zhe, dressed in a white, custom-made suit, walked slowly forward with one hand behind his back, gesturing to his surroundings as he passed through the crowd.

"Lin Zhe, what are your thoughts on everyone having had their fill of your PDA?"

"To that, I'll just say one thing: you'll continue to eat."

"Wow, this guy is so arrogant!"

"Handsome!"

"Then let me ask the groom, are you nervous about your wedding today?"

"I'm nervous, but mostly I'm looking forward to it. I often imagine my happy life with Wanying in the future. If you want to know more, you can follow our WeChat Moments, and we will update it regularly."

"Hahahaha, Lin Zhe, that's enough. Okay, I don't want to hear you spouting dog food anymore. Now, let's welcome the bride."

The opening notes of "A Thousand Years" immediately draw the eye to the entrance, where the bride, dressed in a golden wheat-ear gown, exudes elegance and luxury. The fitted bodice accentuates Chen Wanying's graceful curves, while the puffy sleeves at the shoulders add a touch of romance and vintage charm, and the slightly sloping design adds a hint of sexiness.

The waist is adorned with delicate gold embroidery, the pattern resembling lively branches and leaves, creating a strong three-dimensional effect that contrasts sharply with the overall off-white tulle, becoming the visual focal point and showcasing both exquisite craftsmanship and enhancing the gown's glamour.

The lower half features an extremely voluminous skirt, crafted from layers of light tulle. Gold floral prints adorn the off-white tulle, subtly revealing glimpses of gold, as if golden light flows within the fabric. With every step, the tulle moves gracefully, like dreamy clouds, exuding elegance. The gold elements also lend the gown a noble and sophisticated feel. Sunlight illuminates the dress, creating a beautiful scene with the surrounding flowers.

When the two of them stand together, it's a sight to behold!

"Are you going to deliver the ring later?" Ye Zhenzhen asked, leaning against Su Xia.

"I can tell you're not following the proper procedure. Today isn't about giving out rings, it's about giving out marriage certificates," Lu Lu replied from the side.

"Oh, oh, oh, is it Xiaxia who delivered it or what?"

"Lin Zhe had a cousin who was a flower boy, and there was a girl with him."

"Then it's none of our business?"

"There's basically nothing. I estimate that after the photo session, we'll go and maintain order."

"Aside from waking up early, everything is fine today."

"I have to get up early tomorrow too, I'm going to Lin Zhe's house to see his parents."

"So, can I finally experience firsthand the extravagance of gifts given by wealthy families?"

"Yes."

Today's lawn wedding was mainly for the couple's friends. Some friends couldn't attend tomorrow's wedding, and since Chen Wanying also liked lawn weddings, they held one on their own lawn today. Plus, Twilight was incredibly popular at the time, and the wedding style from abroad deeply attracted Chen Wanying, so the evening's reception was also inspired by it.

Neither set of parents had any objections. They had already chosen two auspicious days, and tomorrow was also the date they would officially post the wedding invitations. Given that it was a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, they certainly didn't want to have too many regrets.

"Now we invite the bride and groom's elementary school classmates to come forward for a group photo."

"A classmate from middle school."

"High school classmates."

"College classmate".

"The bridesmaids and groomsmen."

After a photo shoot, it gradually became evening. The staff had also arranged the food and drinks for the party. Chen Wanying, Su Xia, and the others changed into casual dresses, ate their favorite food, and watched the young men and women dancing on the dance floor.

"Xiaxia, why aren't you dancing?" Chen Wanying asked Su Xia as she finished dancing.

"I can't, I'm afraid of making a fool of myself." Su Xia smiled. The reason she didn't go was firstly because she felt she was older than all these people and preferred watching others dance to dancing herself; secondly, because she had never learned to dance. In her previous life, she and her roommates had gone to bars, and her roommates had mocked her for dancing like a wriggling maggot.

"What's the big deal? Look, Lu Lu and Zhenzhen are dancing too. It's not a very formal dance party, just do what you like." Chen Wanying smiled and took Su Xia's hand, leading her to the dance floor.

Just then, a really upbeat song was playing, and Chen Wanying swayed from side to side next to Su Xia, looking at her as she moved, gesturing for her to join in.

"Xiaxia, you finally came down! Wanying is really helpful. I told Lulu several times, but she didn't budge. I thought she was made of stone, not moving an inch." Lulu saw Su Xia in the middle of the dance floor and walked over to say.

"Sway, Xiaxia!" Ye Zhenzhen swayed close to Su Xia, treating her like a writhing steel pole, her eyes still flashing seductive glances.

"Xiaxia, don't be afraid, no one here will laugh at you."

With encouragement from the three, Su Xia gradually relaxed and began to move slowly, imitating Chen Wanying's dance moves.

As soon as the intro to Uptown Funk started, everyone in the venue instantly got hyped. Whether they knew each other or not, everyone rushed onto the dance floor and started having fun!

"Don't believe me just watch!"

“don’t believe me just watch!!”

“don’t believe me just watch!!!”

“don’t believe me just watch!!!”

“don’t believe me just watch!!!!!”

“don’t believe me just watch!!!!!”

By the time the dance ended, it was already 1 a.m. If it weren't for the fact that they had to go to Lin Zhe's house the next morning, these people probably could have partied all night.

The four of them lay on Chen Wanying's bed, wearing face masks and chatting. Chen Wanying asked Lu Lu, "Lulu, after my wedding, are you planning to go abroad?"

"Yes, I want to go there as soon as possible to find a stable part-time job so that I can continue to earn living expenses when school starts."

“I’m going to start taking the civil service exam too, otherwise my parents will definitely marry me off.” Ye Zhenzhen said indignantly, and then added, “Especially knowing that I’m here to attend your wedding, they can’t wait for me to get married. They even blamed me for not dating someone in college so that I could get married right after graduation like you.”

"Then have a baby, a second child, and still look like a young girl when you turn thirty? Hahahaha." Su Xia laughed, then quickly composed herself, otherwise the face mask would have been a waste.

"That's right, Xiaxia? Oh, she passed the postgraduate entrance exam. I should have come with you, then I could have had an easier time." Ye Zhenzhen was also getting excited. She found it so hard to stay at home, so she rushed over as soon as Chen Wanying mentioned it.

“Xiaxia’s school is very close to mine, so we can get together sometime,” Chen Wanying said.

"I bet your Lin Zhe doesn't want you to see me too much. He'd love to be with you all the time." Su Xia rolled her eyes.

"No, when we get back from our honeymoon, he'll start learning how to take over his family's company, and so will I," Chen Wanying said nonchalantly. They were both only children, so the company would definitely be inherited by them.

"Then save a position for me, and I'll come work for you after I graduate," Su Xia said happily.

“You’re not going to inherit your dad’s company? You’re coming to my company. I want you, but I’m afraid your uncle won’t let you go.” Chen Wanying had learned about Su Xia’s family before. There were only her and her sister in the family, and one of them would have to inherit the company.

"I still have my sister. She inherited her father's company. I'm not going to work for her." Su Xia shrugged dismissively. She had no intention of inheriting the company, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to take the postgraduate entrance exam.

"By the way, your sister and her boyfriend are childhood sweethearts, right? When are they getting married?" Ye Zhenzhen asked curiously.

"If my dad heard you say that, he'd probably pull out his 40-meter-long sword and give you a 39-meter head start." Su Xia could still recall Chen Jianguo's terrifyingly dark face when Chen Yuan's relationship was exposed.

"Does your dad know you're dating?" Lu Lu asked.

"I don't know yet. My sister was found out before, and she still doesn't dare to bring her boyfriend home. My mom is directly contacting his girlfriend's mom online." Su Xia shook her head. It's been half a year now, and Chen Jianguo hasn't contacted Chen Wenwei's family. Even Chen Chunqi isn't allowed to go out with Chen Wenwei's mom.

"Hahahaha, your dad's a total doting dad! Your sister's got a boyfriend in the bag." Ye Zhenzhen laughed mercilessly, almost laughing her face mask off.

“Yes, that’s why I don’t want to share the burden.” Su Xia wasn’t stupid. Chen Yuan’s living expenses had almost been cut off for the past six months, and Chen Jianguo was always sarcastic whenever he saw her. She didn’t want to live Chen Yuan’s miserable life right now.

"So when are you planning to tell your parents? You're not just talking about it, are you? You don't have any plans to get married?" Chen Wanying asked curiously. After all, it took Xiaxia six years to confirm her relationship. If no one was urging her to get married, she would probably drag it out forever.

"Getting married is too early. I'll probably wait until I'm 30 and my career is more established before considering marriage. Money is the most important thing to me." For Su Xia, making money to improve her life is more meaningful than getting married.

“Yes, I also think making money is important.” Lu Lu nodded in agreement.

“We’re going to be the leading ladies, right, Lulu?” Su Xia turned to ask Lu Lu.

“Yes.” Lu Lu immediately replied affirmatively.

"Xiaxia, are you going to start your own business?" Ye Zhenzhen felt that among the four of them, Su Xia was the only one whose goal was not yet determined, so she asked.

"I'll wait until I finish my postgraduate entrance exam. Then I'll see if I can start a studio, or maybe I can invest and become a shareholder. I'm not very good at managing things." Su Xia has already earned a sum of money by shooting short videos, taking photos, and writing novels. It's enough for her living expenses during her postgraduate studies, and she'll even have extra money to renovate the house that Chen Jianguo gave them before.

Her current goal is to earn money for her future livelihood, and also to make plans for herself and Su Yue should the Su family come looking for her, so that she can completely get rid of this bloodsucking family.

"very nice!"

"Go to sleep early, we need to get up early tomorrow to go to Lin Zhe's house. We've decided that we should enter the house before eight o'clock for everything to go smoothly."

"it is good."

The next morning, the makeup artist did makeup on four sleepy-eyed people. They had agreed to go to bed early the night before, but someone started talking and they couldn't stop, practically chatting about anything and everything.

"Speaking of which, since your family is so rich, why don't you hire a dozen bridesmaids and a dozen groomsmen? Wouldn't that be more lively?" Ye Zhenzhen asked Chen Wanying without even opening her eyes.

"Because my family calculated that six is ​​my lucky number, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen together have to be six, not just one side. You saw it yesterday, those girls were fighting tooth and nail over it, which annoyed me. Considering our relationship, I'm definitely choosing you guys!"

“Indeed, I reckon that whichever three you choose, the others will be unhappy.” Lu Lu nodded. Women can be so complicated sometimes, especially rich girls like Chen Wanying.

"Is everything ready? The man's side is prepared."

"OK OK."
