Chapter 780: 780 Wedding Banquet
Zeng Yixin shifted his position, "Do you dislike Tang Piaopiao?"
"I don’t like her. Don’t you know that the Tang Family is very hypocritical?"
Zeng Yixin shook his head, "Our two families are enemies. I don’t have time to pay attention to them."
"I hate the Tang Family too much. You have no idea how chaotic their family is. Anyone who gets involved with them is bound to have bad luck."
"And yet your mom still wants the Tang Family?"
"Isn’t that because my sister, my sixth sister-in-law, provoked her? It doesn’t matter. She can’t make much fuss, and my dad definitely won’t agree.
Yixin, what about you? There’s no hope with Su Yuanyuan, right?"
Zeng Yixin suddenly lay down, his face filled with pain, "Yeah, not a single hope. There are so many excellent people around her, yet she doesn’t treat anyone differently.
I owe her my life; when I woke up, I thought I’d devote my life to her.
But I was completely rejected. It was quite a failure."
"Yixin, she’s not someone you can control."
Yixin nodded, "I understand. What don’t I know? She’s just too outstanding, like a beacon that constantly attracts me, making me sink deeper.
It’s now impossible to pull away. But I have no right to say I’ll wait for her or do anything for her. I still have my grandpa, dad, and the Zeng Family."
Yang Jiulang looked at his friend’s despondency, feeling rather awkward. Why did he talk about this on such a happy day?
"Yixin, I’m glad you understand."
Zeng Yixin changed his position. "I wish I didn’t understand, and I was impulsive. But when I see my grandpa, I have no thoughts."
Yang Jiulang sighed, "In that case, I’m rather lucky. I don’t have so many concerns, and I already have twenty nieces and nephews. Even if I don’t marry, it probably won’t matter much."
"I envy you. I’ve envied you since we were kids. You have so many older brothers.
If I fought outside, how I wished I had brothers to fight back for me."
"Haha, your thinking is really simple."
"Isn’t it?"
The two changed to another topic. The previous topic was too heavy and really unsuitable for today.
"I hope my sister can be happy."
"Don’t worry, you know what kind of person my Sixth Brother is? Once he gets married, he’ll definitely be good to his wife. You’re worrying too much."
"I trust Sixth Brother’s character."
"Then what else is bothering you? Don’t worry, the women at home may make a fuss, but it’s nothing serious, and judging by the way my sister-in-law acts, there’s not much hope for her living with the Yang Family in the future.
Not being together reduces conflicts, right? Stop worrying unnecessarily."
The two have played together since childhood, and because of the good relationship between the two families, the parents are also willing for them to play together. So they’re closer than other friends.
"Now, I’m the only one left in the Yang Family. My dad will keep an eye on me now," Yang Jiulang sighed again, worried about his future miserable fate.
"Yixin, do you think I can go out and play with you?"
Zeng Yixin looked troubled, "Jiulang, we’re staying at Su Yuanyuan’s house in the Capital. Wei Guangxiang and I are helping a Taoist master with medicine-making, handling some things. I really can’t decide on that."
Yang Jiulang sighed, "I knew it. Yixin, don’t take it to heart; I was just saying it."
"Sorry about that."
"What are you saying? I understand. I should just listen to my dad and get married quickly.
You and I envy each other."
Zeng Yixin smiled bitterly. What’s there to envy about him? The pressure is too much. Now that his sister is married, he finally has a chance to breathe.
Even in the Capital, outside, he worries about the family every day.
In fact, he once despairingly thought of letting the Zeng Family go like that. But seeing his grandpa and dad’s perseverance, he knew that even having such thoughts was utterly wrong.
Zeng Yixin didn’t leave the Yang Family until around three in the afternoon. He went to his sister’s courtyard and saw two women reading.
"Yuanyuan, why don’t you and Yixin go back together? There’s nothing much here, and you can come to pick me up the day after tomorrow," Zeng Hongling said with a smile.
"Alright, I’ll come to pick you up," Su Yuanyuan replied, smiling as she stood up.
At this time, Yang Liulang also came over, having just finished tidying up.
"Yixin, Su Yuanyuan, rest assured and go back."
"Brother-in-law, I’m leaving my sister to you."
"Don’t worry."
He escorted the two out, walking behind them, and from the back, they looked quite a match. But he also knew his brother-in-law had no chance.
Yang Jiulang was also waiting at the door, and he spoke a few words to them before seeing them off the Yang Family premises.
"Su Yuanyuan, want to go out and play?"
"Sure, last time I went to that black market, but didn’t see much."
"Let’s go see. Actually, there’s nothing good there. The place I took you to last time has good things.
This time, do you want to take something back?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, it’s too troublesome along the way."
"There are three of us though."
Su Yuanyuan still shook her head, "If there’s nothing that catches my eye, I won’t buy anything."
Zeng Yixin came over, and outside, of course, they wouldn’t stop them.
The two entered the courtyard; there weren’t many people at this time, so they could browse at ease.
"Oh dear, who do we have here? The young master of the Zeng Family has arrived. Come quickly, I’ve kept some good stuff just for you."
Su Yuanyuan found the shady tone very annoying.
Zeng Yixin showed no expression, "Your good stuff? If it’s not clean, I don’t want it. Don’t you have basic manners?"
"Pah!"
Zeng Yixin didn’t show any other expression, instead following behind Su Yuanyuan. This regained everyone’s attention for the beautiful woman.
Beautiful women are a dime a dozen, often serving as entertainment, but seeing Zeng Yixin’s demeanor, it was clear this woman was extraordinary.
Despite how quiet Zeng Yixin seemed around Su Yuanyuan, he’s actually notable here too.
The two browsed every stall in tandem. Su Yuanyuan wasn’t particularly knowledgeable at the moment, but nothing had caught her eye.
Zeng Yixin patiently followed her, finding nothing interesting himself.
Usually, if these people had anything particularly good, they’d go to deliver it to a few families. What they didn’t want would end up here.
Su Yuanyuan looked around and shook her head at Zeng Yixin.
"I’ll take you to someone. If you don’t find anything you like there, then there’s nothing left."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "It’s still early; we can look some more."
The two moved to the back courtyard, and Zeng Yixin led them into a room.
"Mr. Liu, we’re here to have a look."
Soon, an elder with an air of serenity came out, exuding an aura only slightly inferior to Zhan Yunzhao, his presence impeccable.
