Inside the church.
The candlelight is lined up in rows, bright and dazzling.
Su Youzhang stood on the right side of the door, his back straight, a smile on his face. He took Su Yi's white-gloved hand and slowly walked towards Lan Fuchu who was standing quietly in front of the priest waiting for him.
Under everyone's attention, Su Yi walked up to Lan Fuchu, smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand, and slowly placed it into the man's hand.
From this moment on, they will become a real couple and will never be separated.
The applause is in my ears.
The spotlights never stop.
The two held hands, with a bouquet of flowers tied in the middle, as if linking their lives together...
Amidst the constant blessings, this grand and solemn wedding ceremony gradually came to an end...
Gu Benmo stood alone at the door of the church, his hands in his pockets, watching the scene quietly, and then, without saying anything, he turned around and left...
*
Seven o'clock at night.
The wedding banquet is in full swing.
Su Yi was pregnant, so it was not convenient for her to come out to toast, so the toast tonight was conducted by the elders of both Su and Lan's families. Grandpa Lan, Mrs. Lan, Su Youzhang, Lu Zhen, Mr. Lan, Lan Fuchu, and several groomsmen and bridesmaids toasted at each table. The scene was so grand that all the guests who were drinking were trembling with fear, for fear of making any mistakes or making a fool of themselves.
In the hotel's wedding room.
Su Yi had changed out of her wedding dress and was wearing a comfortable pink short dress, sitting on the sofa and eating sweets.
Some guests came to congratulate her, and Su Yi received them one by one with a smile on her face.
After sitting for a while, there was another knock on the door. Su Yi turned around and said, "Come in."
The person who pushed the door open was actually Gu Benmo.
When Su Yi saw that it was him, he curved his eyes and said, "Ben Mo, you are here."
"Yeah." Gu Benmo responded, sitting on the sofa opposite her, crossing his long legs, glancing at her, and said with a half-smile, "You look really beautiful tonight."
"Thank you." She smiled. "Have you had dinner? Are you hungry? Do you want me to send some food over?"
"Okay, I'll eat something with you." He agreed happily.
So Su Yi asked someone to bring in the banquet dishes.
Gu Benmo picked up the chopsticks, picked up one of the dishes, slowly put it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "This one is delicious."
"I chose it." Su Yi also took a bite and enjoyed the delicious taste. "Isn't it very tasteful?"
"Well, very tasteful." He seemed particularly quiet today.
I sat face to face with Su Yi and finished dinner.
Then he looked at Su Yi's bouquet and said, "That flower is also very tasteful."
Su Yi raised his lips and threw the bouquet over, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. I hope you can find your true love soon."
Gu Benmo answered, sniffed it, and smiled brightly, "Thank you."
"Hey, you're not like yourself tonight. Why are you so quiet? You're not like this usually."
"What is that like?" He raised his eyes, his eyes were unusually quiet and deep.
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "He is just very shameless and keeps saying things that make people laugh and cry."
"Maybe it's because... I have something on my mind tonight." He frowned, his hair was jet black, and he looked very lonely.
Su Yi asked: "What's wrong with you? What's on your mind?"
He held the bouquet, touched it gently with one hand, and said quietly: "I came here to say goodbye to you."
"Goodbye? Where are you going?"
"Back to England."
"Why do you suddenly want to go back?" Su Yi sat up straight, a little confused.
"Originally, I returned to China because someone had come back. I hoped that after that person came back, he would get bored and give up, and then he would want to go back to England with me, but..." He paused, his expression became desolate, "It seems that someone has found his own happiness, so I can only go back alone."
Su Yi was stunned.
Gu Benmo raised his lips slightly and said sincerely: "Since you have found happiness, just be happy. Don't worry about me, and don't say anything to me, especially don't say sorry. Okay, I should go now."
After saying that, she slowly stood up, her beautiful lips curled up, looking calm and relaxed.
Su Yi pursed her lips, and finally said, "Take care."
"Well, I'm leaving."
"take care of yourself."
He nodded, reached out his hand, and touched her hair again, "This may be the last time I touch your head, Su Yi, take care."
"You're never coming back?" Her eyes suddenly turned red.
Gu Benmo shook his head and smiled dotingly, "Maybe not."
"Why? Britain and China are not that far away, Benmo. In my heart, you are my best friend."
Gu Benmo smiled, "Silly, if I come back to see you often, I'm afraid there will be conflicts in your family. So let it be, as long as you live well, I will be happy. Okay, you sit down, we are all people with limited mobility, so don't run around."
Su Yi sighed, turned around to take out the bouquet, and handed it to him, "Ben Mo, take this."
Gu Benmo lowered his eyebrows and looked at the bouquet. He knew that it was Su Yi's blessing to him. Although he didn't want it, he still couldn't bear to refuse her. He took the flowers in his hand and said with a smile: "Well, thank you, I will be happy too."
Su Yi smiled and waved.
The door closed again and Gu Benmo was gone.
Fang Jiayi came over, patted her shoulder, then hugged her and said softly, "Don't be sad on this happy day."
Su Yi nodded, turned around and walked back.
After a while, someone knocked on the door again.
Fang Jiayi answered for Su Yi: "Come in."
The person who came was Mrs. Lan. She was wearing a festive dark red cheongsam, which looked gorgeous, but she walked in a hurry and had an extremely solemn expression.
Su Yi called out, "Mom."
Fang Jiayi said: "Madam."
Mrs. Lan nodded and waved to Su Yi, "Xiaoyi, come here."
Su Yi noticed that Mrs. Lan, who was always calm, was very anxious. She knew something was wrong and hurried over to ask, "Mom, what happened?"
Mrs. Lan leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "Is the bridesmaid named Xiaoxiang downstairs your good friend?"
Su Yi frowned, "Yes, Mom, what's wrong?"
"She was just scolded away by your aunt."
"What?" Su Yi's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Mrs. Lan, "Did Ji Chensi's mother scold her and drive her away?"
"Yeah." Mrs. Lan nodded. "But it wasn't really scolding. I just saw your aunt talking to her. After a while, Xiao Xiao covered her face, took her bag and ran away. She looked like she was crying."
"But didn't you say before that your aunt had accepted her?"
Mrs. Lan pursed her lips and said, "She was about to agree, but your aunt disagreed after meeting Xiao Xiao's family a few days ago. I heard that your aunt said that Xiao Xiao's family is not a good person. They asked your aunt for a gift of 50 million yuan, saying that after giving the money, Xiao Xiao would have nothing to do with them in the future, but before the wedding, they wanted to buy a house for their eldest daughter, specifically a house with mountain views in the northern suburbs, and also buy a car for her father, saying he wanted a Lamborghini."
Su Yi: “…”
Damn it! What kind of scumbag parents are they? They can even say such things. How shameless.
"Her parents' behavior is like selling their daughter. For a family like ours, it is already difficult to accept a daughter-in-law with a poor family background. Now they are pushing it even further and making so many demands. I think this marriage is doomed. Your aunt is now downstairs and is fuming."
Su Yi nodded. She could understand Mrs. Ji's feelings. If she raised a son and the wife he was going to marry in the future had a family like this, she would not be willing to let her son marry her. After all, besides being very embarrassing, it was also extremely shameless.
"Mom, I understand. I understand Auntie."
"Well, Mom came here to find you just to tell you that your aunt didn't drive away your guests on purpose. It was just that the two of them bumped into each other accidentally and it couldn't be avoided."
"I understand, Mom. Please try to persuade Auntie not to be too angry, or she will get sick from it."
"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. Well, it's still very busy downstairs now, I have to go back to greet the guests first."
Su Yi nodded, and when Mrs. Lan reached the door, she called her again, "Mom."
Mrs. Lan turned around, her eyes kind, "Hmm?"
Su Yi glanced at Fang Jiayi, she lowered her head, and Su Yi asked: "Um... Mom, are you on good terms with Madam Mu?"
"We have a pretty good relationship. We often play cards together."
Su Yi smiled, "Then Mom, can you arrange for me to meet with Madam Mu?"
"Xiaoyi, what are you doing?"
"I have some personal matters that I want to talk to Madam Mu about. If it's inconvenient for you, forget it. It's fine with me."
