Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mom…” Zhao Youlin was moved. She reached out and hugged Duan Yarong’s waist, resting her head on Duan Yarong’s stomach, unable to say anything.

In her previous life, she did not know who her parents were since she was born. She was adopted by her foster mother after a few years. She treated her very well, but unfortunately, she did not stay with her for long as she passed away very soon, leaving her alone once again.

In this life, she was reborn in this family out of the blue. When she first came here, she had experienced how heartless and bullying Zhao Shuncheng was, which caused her to be disappointed at her parents again. Even then, she did not expect that she would end up having these two people as their parents.

Duan Yarong’s unreserved affection, Zhao Shunrong’s unconditional indulgence and pampering of her in spite of his ineloquence had made Zhao Youlin deeply feel for the first time what a blessing it was to have parents who truly loved her.

Even if this love was based on the premise that she was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, just like the reason why Duan Yarong would tell her this was only because the original owner of this body once committed suicide because of her husband’s negligence of her, Zhao Youlin still could not help but feel moved.

They remained in the embrace for a long time. Duan Yarong raised her head slightly, so that the tears in her eyes would not roll down her cheeks. She held back the reluctance she felt and patted Zhao Youlin’s shoulder. “Alright, it’s time to go. If we don’t depart now, we are going to be late.”

Only then did Zhao Youlin let go of Duan Yarong and muffled back, “Okay.”

Normally, most wedding ceremonies took place in the afternoon or evening, but because of the eager request of two grooms, the ceremony was moved up to eleven in the morning.

Nie Yunfan, as Han Yichen’s best man, was called over by Han Yichen early on that day. He was standing by Han Yichen’s side right now, feeling bored. He was making small talk to pass the time.

Nie Yunfan looked listlessly at the church entrance not far away. It was as if suddenly he remembered something. He pulled on Han Yichen’s arm and asked curiously, “Speaking of which, Yueyue has no parents, so who will be the one to walk her down the aisle?”

An Yue was an orphan without any parents. She only had a sister, An Qi, who was already her bridesmaid. So, she naturally could not be the person who walked her down the aisle.

Among the elders of the Zhao family, Zhao Shuncheng and Zhao Shunchang were at feuds with Zhao Youlin. Zhao Shunrong was definitely going to walk Zhao Youlin down the aisle today. Old Master Zhao was the only one who was available, so was he really going to walk An Yue down the aisle?

Han Yichen did not answer. Nie Yunfan, who knew his friend’s temperament well, raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, “I say, you know who is going to her down the aisle, don’t you?”

Han Yichen furrowed his eyebrows and said rightfully, “Grandpa said he would take care of it.”

“He said he would take care of it and you didn’t ask how?”

Han Yichen did not speak and Nie Yunfan already knew the answer. The corner of the mouth twitched, everyone in this family, each was more unreliable than the last!

Nie Yunfan felt conflicted for a moment. She was about to say something when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside. The long-awaited bride had probably arrived.

Nie Yunfan and Han Yichen turned their heads to follow the sound at the same time, but after seeing the person who walked in beside An Yue…they were completely dumbfounded.

Nie Yunfan was shocked. Darn it! Why did the man who walked An Yue in look so much like his Uncle Xingzhi?

In fact, not just Nie Yunfan, Han Yichen, Mu Tingfeng, along with all the friends and relatives who were invited to attend the wedding were all stupefied after seeing the man who was standing beside An Yue.

Nie XingZhi, the former second young master of the Nie family and the general current manager of the Nie Group, controlled the most elite think tank of the entire Nie Group and was one of the biggest contributors to the development of Nie Group.

It was not an exaggeration to say that although Nie Xingzhi was not the chairman of the Nie Group, half of Nie Group’s lifeline was in his hands. It was a good thing that the brothers of the Nie family were very united, plus, Nie Xingzhi was not an ambitious man, otherwise Nie Group’s leader would have already been changed long ago.

And now, a figure like him was actually walking beside An Yue, taking the place of An Yue’s elder, allowing An Yue to hold his hand and lead An Yue forward step by step.

Nie Yunfan’s jaw dropped. His silly expression, as if he had just seen a ghost, easily attracted the attention of his uncle.

In the next second, Nie Xingzhi’s gaze swept over to him. The unique tacit understanding between them had made them understand what each other were trying to say with just a glance.

Knowing that his uncle did not want him to ask any question at this moment, Nie Yunfan silently closed his wide-open mouth again and watched with a calm face as Nie Xingzhi walked toward them with An Yue.

He began to guess the reason Nie Xingzhi did this. All he could think about was one possibility, that was Nie Xingzhi must have agreed to do this as a form of respect for Old Master Zhao.

But what Nie Yunfan missed was that this reason alone was not enough to make Nie Xingzhi agree to act as an elder to a girl he had never met before and personally hand her off to another man.

The reason why Nie Xingzhi agreed to this matter, well, it all began half an hour ago.

As a friend of Old Master Zhao, it was only right to invite Nie Xingzhi to such a big event as Old Master Zhao’s grandson and granddaughter were getting married.

Plus, Old Master Zhao’s granddaughter-in-law was a friend of his nephew. Nie Xingzhi had no excuse to not attend this wedding.

Therefore, shortly after Nie Yunfan was called away by Han Yichen, Nie Xingzhi also left his house and went to the church where the two couples were getting married.

As Nie Xingzhi had arrived quite early, most of the guests weren’t there yet, so he had been drinking tea and chatting with Old Master Zhao in the lounge.

And just half an hour ago, Old Master Zhao suddenly said to Nie Xingzhi, “My future granddaughter-in-law is an orphan. She grew up without a parent. My grandson and granddaughter are holding their weddings together today. When the ceremony begins later, Shunrong will walk Youlin down the aisle, but my granddaughter-in-law only has a sister by her side. As a grandfather, I am considered as her in-law, so it isn’t proper for me to walk her down the aisle. Well, since you just happen to be about the same age as Shuncheng, why don’t you do me a favor and walk her down the aisle later?”

Nie Xingzhi did not think much about it when he heard what the old master said. He was just a little confused. “Is this a joke, Old Master? You know that I am an unmarried man. Asking me to be your granddaughter-in-law’s bridal escort, don’t you think it’s too random? No way. Ask somebody else. I might jinx myself if I do such a thing.”

Old Master Zhao was not annoyed by his rejection. He just looked at Nie Xingzhi with a smile on his face and his eyes were full of treachery. “Are you sure you can’t do me this favor?”

Nie Xingzhi eyebrows trembled. He had been friends with him for so many years.. He knew very well that every time this old man showed this expression, he must have some schemes planned out!
