Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You…” Lu Hui stared at the woman before in shock. The woman looked quite similar to her boss and master, Fang Xi, except older. Lu Hui asked nervously, “Are you really Fang Xi’s biological mother?”
The woman smiled. Her smile was charming, and her charm had a kind of oppressive beauty. “Little girl, do you think anyone would go around randomly acknowledging daughters?” she countered.
Lu Hui knew she’d misspoke and mumbled unintelligibly. The woman smiled and said, “It’s okay. I know that Fang Xi won’t mention her family to others so I can’t blame you for not knowing. I’m Xi Yue. You’re Fang Xi’s friend, right? You can just call me Auntie Xi Yue.”
“Auntie, please wait a moment. I’ll go look for Fang Xi,” Lu Hui uttered, inwardly panicking a little. ‘This Auntie Xi Yue doesn’t look like she’s here to attend a wedding; she looks like she’s here to cause trouble instead,’ she thought.
She turned around and whispered into Liang Han’s ear, “You distract them while I go get someone to call Mr. Mo over.” Mr. Mo was Fang Xi’s publicly recognized family, so presumably, only he had some understanding of Fang Xi’s birth family.
Liang Han indicated for her to rest assured. He smiled at Xi Yue and stated, “If you would all please follow me over to this side. The wedding banquet is about to begin.”
Xi Yue looked at him from head to toe, her eyes full of amorousness as she asked, “My, what a fine young man you are! Are you married? I have two beautiful stepdaughters. Why don’t I introduce them to you?”
Liang Han was inwardly shocked but maintained his calm smile as he replied, “Thank you, but I already have a girlfriend.”
Xi Yue’s alluring eyes flickered, and she coyly remarked, “A girlfriend… So? What does it matter? Why stick with just one? You should meet more girls and get to know a few of them better… You won’t know which one’s the most suitable without comparison, right? You can’t just settle things in one go when it comes to love. Life’s short; you got to live a little. Why settle for a fish when there’s a whole ocean out there?”
Liang Han was so stupefied by her words that he didn’t know how to respond. Xi Yue waved her hand, and two beautiful girls of mixed race immediately came over. “These are my stepdaughters, Anna and Lina,” Xi Yue introduced. “You guys should get to know each other!”
The two young ladies immediately extended their hands to Liang Han. Feeling extremely embarrassed, Liang Han had no choice but to reach out and gently shake their hands, causing the two girls to smile and giggle.
‘I can’t let them stand near the door like this. A lot of people are starting to look over here,’ Liang Han thought. “Please follow me this way.” He gestured for the group to follow him to the dining table at the side and urged them to sit.
Xi Yue, however, grabbed his hand. “Young man, I am Fang Xi’s biological mother, and they are all her siblings and relatives. We should be seated at the bride’s table. You can’t just simply stuff us in this corner here! You’re the groom’s friend, right? This absolutely won’t do! Call the groom over. He hasn’t bowed to me yet! Since he hasn’t completed the ritual bows, this wedding doesn’t count. I won’t acknowledge it!”
Xi Yue smiled as she spoke, but her expression was extremely serious. Liang Han secretly bemoaned, ‘What is this turn of events? Why is my bro Ye Kun’s life so bitter? His wedding ceremony had already gone through many setbacks before he finally got to marry the woman he loves. Why did a mother-in-law suddenly pop up at the doorstep on the day of the wedding?’
‘Fang Xi, what kind of bizarre relatives do you have? Someone, please help!’
‘No matter who or what, nothing’s allowed to ruin my buddies’ wedding today! That’s my line in the sand!’ Liang Han took a deep breath and made sure his smile was flawless as he inquired, “Ms. Xi Yue, can I take a look at your invitation first?”
Xi Yue froze. She glanced back at the group of people she’d brought with her before she turned back to Liang Han and smiled. “Oh, you silly child! Does a mother need an invitation to attend her own daughter’s wedding? What kind of rule is that? Am I, the bride’s mother, not welcomed here? It seems that this isn’t a happy match for my Fang Xi!”
She went on, “What’s the deal with the groom’s family? Are they bullying Fang Xi? Let me tell you, this won’t do! Fang Xi is my one and only biological daughter. I won’t allow anyone to bully my precious daughter! You, move aside! I want to meet the in-laws and ask what’s going on!”
So saying, Xi Yue went to push Liang Han away. Liang Han was determined to stop her and didn’t move an inch. When the others saw this, they gathered around Liang Han. Especially Xi Yue’s two stepdaughters; they leaned close and coquettishly said, “Hey, handsome, what’s the meaning of this? We’re here to attend our sister’s wedding! What right do you have to stop us from entering? Something to hide? Did you guys bully my sister?”
Liang Han had to take a couple of steps back because he didn’t want such women to get close to him. However, he immediately realized what they were trying to do, and his expression darkened at once. He coldly called out, “Security!”
“Mr. Liang!” The security manager instantly ran over.
“No one is allowed to enter today’s wedding without an invitation. So why are they here? Is this how you guys do your job?” Liang Han demanded.
The security manager broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, ‘I wouldn’t have let them come in here if I could stop them. These people, especially the women, were very difficult to deal with. They were like succubi, getting up close and personal, and they couldn’t be pushed away once they did.’ The security manager and his team were forced to back away to avoid contact and that was how the group managed to push their way into the venue.
