Chapter 309: A Grand Wedding (2)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The wedding venue was divided into an area for guests to relax, an area to receive guests, the wedding hall, and the banquet hall. Many guests had already arrived and several middle-aged rich women and the wives of government officials clinked their glasses together and chatted amicably. They didn’t need to work and their children were already grown, so they had a lot of time on their hands and would often get together to play mahjong or head to the beauty salons together, and so on.

The wife of a deputy mayor took a sip of wine and shook her head in resignation. Then, she started to gossip, “What do you think is wrong with young people these days? Take the eldest son of the Ye family, for example, he is so rich and influential and has taken over 80% of the Ye family business. Not only that, but he is also extremely handsome, so why did he choose someone from such a poor background who also divorced once? His taste must’ve been really poor...”

“Exactly,” another middle-aged woman chimed in. “I don’t even know where his bride popped out from. She was married to the young master of the Mo family and got divorced three years later. Yet, less than two years after her divorce, she married into the Ye family. Her ancestors must have done some really good deeds in the past!”

“I’m sure she just relies on her seductive wiles,” another middle-aged woman said with a derisive smile.

“You’re right. These days, men are unable to resist temptation and their taste has also become poorer. My daughter is already 28 and has a double masters, and she manages our family business really well. She’s both capable and virtuous, but she hasn’t been able to find someone she likes. This is driving me crazy.”

Another rich woman added with a frown. She only had one daughter and she was extremely concerned about marrying her daughter off. She had planned on finding an opportunity to introduce her to the eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Hao, since his age, family background, talent and abilities were extremely favorable. She was sure that her daughter would like him. However, before she could even put her plan into action, she received word that Ye Hao had already obtained his marriage license and was about to become a father. She was so annoyed after that.

Another middle-aged woman walked over and patted her shoulder.

“Madam He, I really admire your daughter. Unfortunately, my son, He Zhan is only 22 years old. Otherwise, I’d love to be in-laws with you.”

“Me too, but my son is only 20...”

“Mine is only 18...”

“Mine is only 17...”

These women all sighed regretfully as though they all wanted to be on good terms with Madam He.

Her daughter was the only child of the He family, which meant that the He family fortune would not only end up in her hands in the future but also be split with her husband’s family. Whoever married the daughter of the He family would be able to also obtain a slice of the millions in the He family fortune.

The women wished that their sons could suddenly age 10 years but unfortunately, it was just a pipe dream.

There were more than twenty ushers in charge of receiving guests at the receiving area. They were all dressed in long, red qipaos. Ye Snr. and Xia Jingshu were also present and also many people from the Ye family, including Ye Shiyu and Ye Zhe. The bride and groom were getting ready at the makeup area because the bride was now 7 months pregnant, so she wasn’t in a state to receive guests. Therefore, the bride and groom would only appear during the wedding ceremony.

A smile slowly spread across Xia Jingshu’s face as she continued to greet the wedding guests. She wasn’t Mrs. Ye in the past so she had never attended such a grand event. Thus, many of the guests didn’t recognize her but this time, she was in the limelight.

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze moved toward the mother and son pair who appeared on the right side of the receiving area.

This was a pair who would attract attention wherever they went and all the guests were very surprised to see them make an appearance here, including Xia Jingshu and Ye Snr.
