Su Wanting and Xiao Xing's wedding was held two days later at a star-rated hotel owned by the Xiao family.
White tables and chairs were placed on the soft lawn, dotted with fragrant flowers, and guests came and went in elegant clothes, chatting and chatting.
The wedding was low-key and there was no news media present, but Sue saw many familiar faces that she had seen on TV.
She and Old Lady Qu sat together with the Xiao family. In fact, there were not many Xiao family members. Xiao Xing and Xiao Yan were both only children. In addition to the two elders of the Xiao family, there were also several cousins from different generations.
After the wedding emcee finished the process and the wedding banquet began, people came over from time to time to congratulate the two elders of the Xiao family. Xiao's mother then smiled and introduced their in-laws, Old Lady Qu, and granddaughter Su Yi to everyone.
The gazes fell on Su Yi again and again. She just lowered her head slightly, with a shy smile on her lips, listening to the visitor's monotonous compliments.
Later, it was Xiao's mother who spoke up and asked Xiao Yan to take Su Yi for a walk, which allowed the two of them to get away from the adult social activities.
Su Yi had noticed those long buffet tables a long time ago. She hadn't eaten anything since the wedding, and the aroma of the food on the tables was like a hook, tempting her nose and stomach.
But Xiao Yan didn't seem to have any intention of going that way. Seeing the food getting farther and farther away, she had to take the initiative: "Where are we going?"
Afraid that people wouldn't understand her, she asked in a fake and concerned tone, "Are you hungry?"
Xiao Yan stopped and was about to speak when someone called him from a distance.
"Ayan, this way!" The two looked over and saw Xiao Yan's friend winking at them, pointing at his parents who were chatting with someone next to him, with a look of despair.
Su Yi said quickly: "Your friend is calling you, go quickly, I'll walk around here."
He said he was just strolling around, but he walked towards the long table without looking around.
Xiao Yan watched her stand by the table before turning to look for Han Lu.
Han Lu couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly said "I'm going to play with Xiao Yan", and dragged him away from his parents.
"Why did you come to rescue me just now? If you were any later you would have to collect my body." He said in an exaggerated manner.
Ever since he got into a fight with someone at a banquet over a disagreement, his parents have been treating him like a criminal and wouldn't let him out of their sight. If it weren't for Xiao Yan, he wouldn't be free today.
"Speak nicely." Xiao Yan slapped away the hand that was hanging on his neck and straightened his messed up clothes.
Han Lu didn't take it seriously and leaned over again, "Hey, I heard everything. Was that your new sister just now? Was that the voice I heard the first two times also hers?"
"It's Aunt Su's daughter." Xiao Yan glanced at the long table.
Su Yi was wearing a white skirt today, which just reached her calf, and red leather shoes on her feet. She looked pretty and well-behaved.
"She's really good-looking." Han Lu touched his chin and said with a click of the tongue, "Didn't they say she was raised in the countryside? You can't tell at all. Look at her back and neck, it's like she's learning to dance, so elegant."
After hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and looked at him, "What are you looking at?"
Han Lu immediately smiled and said, "I'm used to it. I forgot she's your sister. Don't worry, I won't look at her carelessly."
At the other end, Sue found a quiet bench and sat down with a plate of food.
The fur ball had been hiding its body, and only now did it pop its head out and take a deep sniff, "Ah, the air smells like rich people."
As soon as the words came out, it felt like they didn't fit its style. How could it learn from the big devil, talking about money all the time? It was too tacky.
So I asked Su Yi: "Yi Yi, is it delicious?"
Su Yi was looking at a ball of ice cream wrapped in gold foil on the plate with distress. All the other food had been eaten, leaving only this golden ball. No matter how she looked at it, she felt it would not taste good.
Maotuan stared at the ball for a while and said, "Ah, those damn rich people."
Just as the two of them were silent about the ball, someone suddenly spoke up, "Are you the burden?"
The ball of hair immediately disappeared. Su Yi turned her head and moved her eyes downwards, and saw a boy of about six or seven years old, wearing a small suit, looking at her with a cocky look on his face.
"Are you the burden?" the boy repeated.
Sue raised her eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter, short-legged monster?"
The boy said angrily: "My name is not Short Legs!"
"I'm not a burden either."
"I'm going to call you a burden!" He raised his chin with a look of pride.
Su Yi said in a flat tone, "Then I will call you the short-legged monster, the snot monster, and the bed-wetting king."
The boy blushed angrily, "You are the king of bedwetting. I haven't wet the bed for a long time! I'm going to tell my mother!"
Sue said, "Go ahead. A crybaby like you can only look for your mother. You need your mother for food, water, and when you fall down. You also need your mother even if you can't win an argument. You shouldn't call me a short-legged monster. You should call your mother a monster."
“You, you…” The boy was so angry that his chin started to tremble. He wanted to go find his mother, but because his mother blamed him, he refused to move.
Su Yi added: "Are you going to cry? Wait, let me take a picture and show it to your classmates, so that everyone will know that you are a crybaby."
"I'm not crying, don't take pictures!" The boy covered his face.
"Yang Lele, what are you yelling about?" Xiao Yan appeared from behind the two of them.
As soon as he arrived, Yang Lele seemed to have found a backer, and immediately pointed at Su Yi and shouted: "Cousin, help me scold her!"
Xiao Yan sighed. Yang Lele was his uncle's youngest son, a notoriously mischievous one. Just now, he let him slip in here when he wasn't paying attention.
He was about to pull the person away, but Yang Lele grabbed his clothes and insisted, "Cousin, scold her, scold her!"
Su Yi sat in a chair and watched. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Yan's clothes. "Brother..."
Yang Lele immediately got angry, "You are not allowed to call him brother, you are such a burden--"
"Shut up! Who taught you to say such things?" Xiao Yan frowned, too lazy to waste time talking to him. He grabbed the man by the collar and picked him up to go find his parents.
Seeing Yang Lele's cries fade away, Mao Tuan popped up again and muttered, "Kids nowadays are really something. They know how to call others a burden at such a young age. It must be that their parents didn't set a good example for them."
After this incident, the gold foil ice cream ball in Su Yi's hand melted a little and looked even less tasty. She looked around and seeing that no one was paying attention, she secretly poured it into the trash can and found something else to eat as if nothing had happened.
Maotuan said again: "Yiyi, you were deliberately provoking that naughty kid just now, weren't you?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Sue took a moment out of her busy schedule to reply as she took a fancy to a piece of steak, "I am so pitiful, helpless and weak."
I don't believe you. Mao Tuan Tuan rolled his eyes.
