CHAPTER 200: CHAPTER 199: CALL HIM UNCLE

"Got it! I’ll listen to Sister Anxin!" Huo Jiantian nodded his little head rapidly.

"Mm! Let’s go, let’s go inside!" Huo Junmo nodded in satisfaction, and after handing out the invitations to everyone, they went in together.

Yan Qinghan walked beside Ye Anxin, puzzled, and asked, "Little sister-in-law, why are you the only one here? Where’s your uncle?"

Ye Anxin replied nonchalantly, "Something came up at the company at the last minute, so Uncle went back to handle it. He’s coming over soon!"

After hearing her words, Yan Qinghan frowned instead.

For someone like Mu Beiting, who controls the entire situation, what matter would make him rush back to handle it and not accompany the woman he loves?

Could it be that something major happened at the company?

For some reason, he suddenly felt a twinge of unease! As if something was about to happen!

What on earth could it be?

Yan Qinghan shook his head, utterly perplexed.

After the group went inside, Gu Xingchen and Ruan Zhitong, arm in arm, were chatting with Mu Huajian. Upon seeing them come in, they quickly waved at them.

Yan Qinghan raised an eyebrow and said with a deeper meaning, "Xingchen, you’re quite early!"

Gu Xingchen laughed and replied, "Today, Uncle Mu is marrying off his granddaughter-in-law, so naturally, I should come early!"

Mu Huajian glanced at Ye Anxin, then looked around beside her, but seeing no sign of Mu Beiting, his eyes were filled with deep disappointment.

Taking in his expression, Ye Anxin quickly explained, "Sir, Uncle was supposed to come with me, but just as we were about to arrive, something came up at the company, so he had to go there! But Uncle said he would come over as soon as he’s done with the company’s matters!"

"Yes, yes, I know, company matters are important!" In Mu Huajian’s view, Ye Anxin’s words were just meant to comfort him!

Although this son was never close to him since childhood, he trusted his abilities immensely!

With his son’s character, he would definitely have arranged everything with the company before absolutely coming here! Therefore, it’s absolutely impossible for something to come up last minute!

This was just an excuse for him not wanting to come!

Ye Anxin knew that the old man didn’t believe her words! She wanted to offer some comfort but didn’t know how to!

After all, with something happening at the company, she didn’t know when Uncle would come!

Everything would have to wait until Uncle got here!

To alleviate the surrounding atmosphere, Yan Qinghan craned his neck, looked around, and asked in surprise, "Hey, with such a grand event today, how come there are no reporters?"

"I know Beiting is low-key and doesn’t like having reporters! I thought he was coming today, so I had people guard the entrance, prohibiting reporters from entering!" Mu Huajian said somewhat self-deprecatingly!

In that manner, there was no trace of his former high-and-mighty demeanor! Entirely in the guise of a benevolent father.

Yan Qinghan grinned and said, "Uncle, you really put your heart into this!"

Mu Huajian shifted the conversation, smiling, "Enough about that, the wedding banquet is about to start, you all should take your seats! I still have to greet other guests!"

"Mm! Uncle, go ahead!" Yan Qinghan and the others nodded, and after seating themselves, they watched Mu Huajian leave.

The Mu Family is a business leader in Jin City, and those invited to the wedding banquet are all top figures in Jin City! Therefore, none of them can be taken lightly!

The reason everyone was eagerly attending the wedding banquet was not only to please the Mu Family but also hopefully to use this opportunity to connect with more influential people in their favor.

Watching Mu Huajian weave through the crowd, Yan Qinghan shook his head in feigned helplessness, "Alas, the plight of parents worldwide! Wonder when that guy Mu Beiting will let go of his grudge!"

Ye Anxin bit her lip but stayed silent, her eyes lowered as if lost in thought.

The wedding unfolded to the tune of the wedding march.

Mu Rufeng stood on the stage. Xie Yunlu’s father escorted Xie Yunlu up, solemnly handing his daughter’s hand to Mu Rufeng.

Then there was the reading of the wedding vows, exchanging of rings, kissing the bride!

As the series of events concluded, applause filled the room with the guests’ blessings.

After the wedding concluded, the bride and groom went to change outfits, and the guests began dining. Once the bride and groom were ready, they would come out to offer a toast.

During the meal, Yan Qinghan looked over at the seemingly loving and harmonious Gu Xingchen and Ruan Zhitong and teased, "So, you two, when are you planning to have your wedding? We’re all set to drink at your celebration!"

Gu Xingchen smiled, looked at Ruan Zhitong, and said gently, "It’s all up to her. Whenever she wants to marry, that’s when I’ll marry her!"

Yan Qinghan grinned and feigned surprise, "Yo, really in love, aren’t you!"

Hearing this, Ruan Zhitong blushed and shyly lowered her head.

Gu Xingchen smiled and said, "Qinghan, stop talking about me, let’s talk about you! You’re not getting any younger, you should also find a partner!"

Yan Qinghan laughed heartily, "Partner? I’ve got plenty of partners! Whenever you want to see them, I can show them to you!"

Gu Xingchen corrected, "I mean a legitimate partner!"

Yan Qinghan continued to play dumb, "Yeah, they’re all legitimate partners!"

Gu Xingchen emphasized again, "I’m talking about a marriage partner!"

"I’m dating them all with marriage as the premise! It’s just that I later found them unsuitable, so I found someone else! I swear, I was serious when I was with them!" Saying this, he even held up his hand in a pledge gesture, afraid Gu Xingchen wouldn’t believe him.

"Uh...!" Gu Xingchen was at a loss for words, rendered speechless!

Xiang Qingshi elegantly crossed his legs and smiled, "Alright, Xingchen, you can’t win against him, just drop it! No need to take him seriously!"

Gu Xingchen shut his mouth, glared at Yan Qinghan, and then resumed eating in silence.

While everyone was dining, Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu, having changed clothes, began offering toasts with their cups.

Since Xie Yunlu was pregnant, she used tea in place of alcohol.

When they got to Ye Anxin’s table, Xie Yunlu’s gaze lingered on Ye Anxin, filled with provocation.

She wanted Ye Anxin to see how glorious her day was! She wanted her to witness with her own eyes the man she once loved deeply walking into the hall of marriage holding her hand!

Seeing Ye Anxin, a trace of amazement flashed through Mu Rufeng’s eyes, and he immediately asked in surprise, "Anxin, why are you here?"

Before Ye Anxin could speak, Ling Yueyue couldn’t wait and said, "Ahem, is Anxin what you should be calling her? You should call her Aunt!"

Xie Yunlu frowned, "Ling Yueyue, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow and explained confidently, "How am I spouting nonsense! Our Anxin is officially Mu Beiting’s wife, the other half on the marriage certificate, they are legally protected! Mu Beiting is Mu Rufeng’s uncle, so naturally, she’s your aunt! Hurry and call her Aunt!"

Provoked by Ling Yueyue, Xie Yunlu forgot the occasion and directly spat, "Bullshit! Mu Beiting would marry her? She doesn’t even know her own worth!"
