Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The toasting segment made the wedding banquet’s atmosphere soar, and with Liang Han as the opening act, cracking jokes and causing laughter, the hosts and guests were all having a great time.

That is, until Fang Xi saw Xi Yue and her family. The smile on Fang Xi’s face melted away like ice thrown on a fire and disappeared in an instant, and the hand that was raising her wine glass froze in midair.

Yun Nan didn’t know what was going on and gestured for Liang Han to introduce the guests before them. She was already holding up a glass of wine—and Shi Xiu had also filled the glass in Fang Xi’s hand with Sprite—waiting for Fang Xi to raise her glass for a toast.

Liang Han smiled and said, “This is—”

“Thank you for coming to my wedding!” Fang Xi interrupted Liang Han and downed the Sprite in her glass. Ye Kun caught the change in Fang Xi’s mood and quickly placed his other hand on Fang Xi’s waist to support her.

Fang Xi’s emotional tumult instantly calmed at the protective gesture. She took Ye Kun’s hand and calmly stated, “This is my mother, Ms. Xi Yue, and these are her stepsons and stepdaughters. Their surname is Zhu. I’m not very familiar with them, so their names escape me. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter. Since they’re here, let’s give them a toast.”

Hearing that, Ye Kun raised his glass to Xi Yue and emptied it, followed by a “Thank you for coming.” In Ye Kun’s dictionary, what Fang Xi liked was good, and anything Fang Xi didn’t like was nothing. Shi Nian and Yun Nan also drank the wine in their cups and politely thanked Xi Yue’s group for their attendance.

Xi Yue looked at Fang Xi, seemingly hurt by Fang Xi’s cold indifference, and uttered aggrievedly, “Is this how you treat me? I’m your mother! I came to attend your wedding, but not only did I not get to sit at the main table, but I also have to suffer your dismissive disgust. Do I owe you anything, huh?”

“Even if that’s case, no matter how much I owe you, I’m still your mother! The one who brought you into this world! The only person in this world who shares the same blood as you! Are you truly going to be that heartless?” Xi Yue said as tears welled up in her eyes, looking like she’d stooped to compromise for Fang Xi’s sake.

Fang Xi looked up and exhaled softly before asking, “Then what do you want? You can’t sit at the main table, because you are unqualified. The one who arranged for you to sit here was probably Mr. Mo. I’ll give face to Mr. Mo at any time, but that’s given to him, not you. You wouldn’t even be able to sit at this table without him!”

She continued, “There’s no need to talk about blood relations between us, right? How did you once put it? You said I should forget that I still have a mother and just treat myself as an orphan. What, have you forgotten because it’s been so long? But I didn’t.”

Xi Yue’s face darkened as she glared venomously at Fang Xi. Anna quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Fang Xi, don’t be mad. Ma just spoke in anger back then. C’mon, there’s no overnight grudges between mother and daughter. Today’s your big day, and we’re truly here to wish you well. Ma really is honestly happy for you.”

Anna raised her glass to Ye Kun. “Congratulations! I wish you both a long and happy life together!” Ye Kun courteously nodded back and raised his glass to thank her before downing the wine in his glass.

On the other side, Lina also stopped Xi Yue, who appeared to still want to speak. Thanks to Lina’s persuasion, she unhappily settled down. The Zhu brothers and sisters toasted and gave their blessings to the newlyweds. Ye Kun responded politely, while Fang Xi didn’t say a word. She only mechanically accompanied Ye Kun, face indifferent.

Although Shi Nian and Yun Nan didn’t know what was going on, they still had to keep up appearances. They were under the glare of the public, after all.

“Don’t worry, Yun Nan. I’ll be staying here with them. Mr. Mo made arrangements,” Lu Hui whispered into Yun Nan’s ear. Yun Nan nodded lightly and turned to glance at the darkly scowling Xi Yue, with her two stepdaughters at her side comforting her.

‘It’ll be fine as long as she doesn’t make a scene at the wedding,’ Yun Nan thought. Fang Xi’s background was complicated, but Yun Nan didn’t know the details, either. However, that wasn’t important. Like her, blood relations didn’t mean anything. For example, her parents from the Yun family who were standing before her now.

Yun Nan raised her glass and stood in front of the Yun family couple. Yun Xiang was a bit self-conscious, but he still tried his best to say, “I wish you both happiness!”

Gu Wei also silently raised her glass. She stared at the beautiful and dignified Yun Nan before her with mixed emotions, thinking, ‘This is my daughter, my biological daughter. If this daughter of mine had grown up by my side, how happy and proud would I be today?’

She caught the sight of Gu Bei and his wife sitting at the main table from the corner of her eye, and her heart filled with bittersweetness. ‘Originally, that should’ve been our seats. Now, we, as her biological parents, could only be reduced to this spot. Everyone is laughing at us for being blind!’

‘We brought this on ourselves, step-by-step,’ Gu Wei sighed. ‘We have no one to blame but ourselves!’
