515 Wedding V
After making sure that all the preparations for the ceremony are in place, Han Liang handed the baton of responsibility to welcome the guests to Grandmother Han while he and Yuhan went to accompany Han Zihao to fulfill their responsibilities as the groomsmen. Jia Fei and Luo Dan also went back to check on Xu Nuan and make her eat something before the ceremony starts.
Since she is pregnant and skipping meals would not be good for her or her baby’s health. Even if it’s a little bit, she needs to eat something to go through this tiring yet joyous celebration.
After they left, the Han Family got busy welcoming the guests. Along with Grandfather and Grandmother Han, Han Zihao’s father and mother were also performing their roles to entertain the guests.
Soon the Gu Family from the bride’s side also appeared at the venue. Grandmother Han’s face lit up to see Grandfather Gu and she didn’t waste another moment to welcome them. “Mr. Gu, You’re right on time. We were just talking about you.” She happily welcomed Grandfather Gu who arrived at the terrace along with Xu Nuan’s parents.
“I apologize for being late. As the bride’s family, we should have come earlier and helped with the arrangements.” The old man smiled bitterly and apologized sincerely.
All the preparations for the ceremony have been done by Han Zihao and the Han family. They barely did anything or contributed to this wedding ceremony. Not like he didn’t want to do anything but Han Zihao didn’t let him do anything and asked to take all the responsibilities for this matter.
He was feeling down since Xu Nuan is his only granddaughter and he couldn’t even treat her right. He didn’t give her anything since she was young and the least he could do was to give her a grand wedding.
However, considering how she was treated by the Gu family in the past, he didn’t have any right to interfere in this matter and agreed to Han Zihao’s arrangements. Moreover, Xu Nuan’s mother is still not in her right mind and if they had tried to lead the preparations, he doubts that she will do anything correctly.
She still feels that Xu Nuan did wrong by revealing the dark side of Gu Xingren in front of the world. She shamed the whole Gu Family when they could have discussed this matter privately, without making a laughingstock of themselves in front of the world.
.....
That’s why sitting out of the preparations of the wedding was the best option that he could have opted for.
Despite that, the least they could have done was to come earlier to welcome the guests along with the Han Family. However, Lin Ran never loses a chance to create a scene and made them late because of her unnecessary nagging and arguments.
Lin Ran, who was standing next to him, frowned when the old man apologized for being late. What late? They’re on time, there aren’t many guests at the venue. Yet he was acting as if they missed the wedding ceremony.

“Oh, Come on. You’re not late at all. You’re just on time and after taking some rest, you should join me to welcome other guests. The ceremony is going to start soon.” Grandmother Han said and tried to cheer him up. She could understand the condition of Grandfather Gu and felt bad for him.
It’s not easy to live with such complicated characters in the family after all. Han Zihao’s biological mother used to be a similar character in the Han Family after all. She knows this humiliating feeling the best.
Grandfather Gu didn’t say anything but smiled at her comment. Xu Nuan indeed has chosen the best family and husband for herself.
Seeing the Han family, he was relieved because this family is capable of giving love and pampering to Xu Nuan that they failed to give her. Despite their family having so many shortcomings, they never treat Xu Nuan badly or make her feel little compared to their family.
While Grandmother Han and Grandfather Gu were talking, Lin Ran’s face darkened as they completely ignored them. She is the bride’s mother after all. How can they treat her as a standing tree and not talk to her?
She clenched her fists and glanced at Xingren who was standing behind her and interrupted their conversation, “Grandmother Han, let me introduce you to someone.”
She pulled on Xingren’s hand and pulled her to her side as she introduced her to Grandmother Han, “You haven’t seen my other daughter, right?”
” This is Gu Xingren and has been pursuing her studies abroad at the moment. When you invited us to Han Mansion, she was not in the country. She has especially come down to the country to attend Xu Nuan’s wedding.” She said happily.
No matter what happened in the past, Gu Xingren is still the daughter that she had nurtured since she was young and she believes that everyone deserves a chance. She did commit a few mistakes because she was upset with them and was feeling jealous of Xu Nuan after she came back to the Gu Family. (f)reewebnovel.com
However, those mistakes weren’t too severe that she had to go through so much humiliation. Because of Xu Nuan, Xingren almost went to prison and now has to stay out of the country to redeem herself.
She was expecting Grandfather Gu to introduce Xingren to everyone but he simply ignored her and was happily chatting with Grandmother Han. How can he treat her so rudely even after she apologized for her mistakes and was doing her best to become a better person?
If he forgot to introduce her, she will take charge and will introduce Gu Xingren to others. She didn’t do anything gravely wrong, why should she live in hiding?
Grandmother Han glanced at Xingren who looked embarrassed by Lin Ran’s attitude and meekly greeted her. She had heard about this girl and was aware of her evil actions towards Xu Nuan. How can a pretty girl like her do something evil and almost kill someone?
Her eyes turned cold, however, she didn’t say anything and simply responded to her greetings with a nod. Because she could see that the girl was feeling embarrassed by her mother’s hasty actions and didn’t look harmful as she had heard about her.
Looks like over time, people do change. She had heard from Xu Nuan that she didn’t forgive Xingren because she felt bad for Grandfather Gu, instead, she gave her a second chance to start her life as a new person.
If she could redeem herself by owning up to her mistakes and learning to become a better person, she would accept her apology and will let the bygones go.
However, if she didn’t and continued with her same mean attitude and scheming tricks, then she will not let go of any chance to show her the place and consequences that she deserves.
Seeing the girl, she could see that she has somewhat changed over time but looks like her mother is still the same. Unnecessarily proud and shameless!
No doubt that this young girl turned out to be a menace to society because she has been nurtured by a mother like Lin Ran who only thinks about materialistic gains and doesn’t know how to act like a decent human being.
What can she expect from a woman like her who would tell the world that she is an adopted girl and not her blood? That’s disgusting and embarrassing.
