Chapter 103 - Flowers blossoming on the ground

The night wind rose sharply, and the thin crescent moon hid behind the clouds. The entire sky darkened, and no one knew where the stars were hidden.

Chu Tianyi stood there, hardly moving as if he had turned into a fossil.

But He Yi didn’t plan to keep wasting time with him, because she had a lot of things to do. “Don’t you have anything else to do?”

Chu Tianyi didn’t seem to understand that this was He Yi’s order to leave, so he didn’t answer her question. “I came a long time ago! Before Yi Liangze arrived, I saw you in the laboratory with Zhuo Hongzhao, researching some replacement agent.”

“It’s very immoral to barge into other people’s places for no reason!” He Yi looked indifferent on the surface, but in her heart, she was quite frightened. Chu Tianyi had sneaked in long ago, and she was completely unaware of it. She could only suppress the fear in her heart and coldly rebuked, “Perhaps this is your nature. You always like to secretly do things that you can’t see in the light of day!”

In the face of He Yi’s sarcasm, Chu Tianyi acted as if he hadn’t heard it. “I saw that you’ve been working so hard that you completely forgot that you’re getting married tomorrow until Yi Liangze appeared!”

He Yi could not help but get angry. She glared at Chu Tianyi. “What are you trying to say?”

“You don’t seem to be looking forward to tomorrow’s wedding and don’t take it seriously!” Chu Tianyi poked through this layer of window paper. “Yi Liangze’s skin is thick enough. He specially came here to remind you that the two of you are still getting married tomorrow! He knows very well that you don’t care and don’t take tomorrow’s wedding seriously and still want to marry you! This is Zhou Yu walking on a yellow brick road!”

He Yi was secretly shocked. She didn’t expect Chu Tianyi to see through it so thoroughly. For a moment, she had nothing to refute. He was right, but if he could see through it, how could Yi Liangze not see through it? Why was Yi Liangze, the party involved, not as sharp and merciless as Chu Tianyi said?

Yi Liangze did not want to expose this aspect. He was still thinking about the love after marriage with her and also looking forward to the sweetness of their new marriage.

After a long silence, He Yi sneered, “That’s right, one is willing to be beaten, and the other is willing to suffer! He was willing to suffer some grievances for me, but he didn’t even complain, so why are you complaining on his behalf?”

Chu Tianyi was rendered speechless by his words. He stared at her, and hatred slowly appeared in his handsome eyes. “Are you always so heartless?”

“Yes!” He Yi’s smile became colder and thinner. “Didn’t you eat my heart and lungs?”

Chu Tianyi looked at her, and the frost in his eyes slowly turned into sadness. “These days, I’ve been thinking that if nothing happened on the cruise ship, we...”

“We are sworn, enemies!” He Yi did not hesitate. “If you could let go of your revenge on my father! Ask yourself, could you let him go?”

If nothing happened on the cruise ship, if she did not get pregnant out of wedlock, maybe Chu Tianyi would not hate her so much, and maybe he would not throw her into prison. However, the sins he committed against the He family are great, her father and the He corporation have not been spared either.

Therefore, Yi Liangze’s intervention didn’t change the fundamental thing. It just made things more complicated.

“If Wan Wan was our daughter!” Chu Tianyi told her in an extremely serious tone, “I will love her well! I will also love my family!”

“No need!” He Yi scoffed at his compassion. “No matter what, you still caused my father’s death...”

“He had a heart attack. I didn’t cause his death!” Chu Tianyi quickly corrected her.

“He died because of you!” He Yi frowned, her expression extremely cold. “I once thought that if Wan Wan was your biological child, everything would be different! But now, I won’t think that way anymore. It’s meaningless! What has already happened can never be changed! It’s unrealistic to think about it. It’s just a waste of time!”

After saying that, she looked at Chu Tianyi impatiently. “Don’t you have anything else to do? I’m getting married tomorrow, so I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you here!”

No one could refuse to leave after being chased away, again and again, especially Chu Tianyi, who had always been proud and arrogant. He finally cast a final glance at her and then turned around stiffly.

He Yi didn’t bother to turn around, afraid that he would plot against her behind her back, so she watched him leave.

After taking a few steps, Chu Tianyi stopped and didn’t turn back. Then, he said softly, “I’m sorry.”

He Yi was stunned. Was he the one who said sorry just now? Or was it an illusion caused by her tiredness?

In the end, she didn’t have the chance to ask for confirmation. Chu Tianyi left without any hesitation this time.

She raised her head and found that the dark clouds had disappeared and the moonlight had bloomed again. The huge factory returned to silence as if those uninvited guests had never been there previously.

He Yi let out a sigh of relief. She knew that life was like the bright moon, with its ups and downs. The only thing she could control was her own heart!

Thinking of the wedding tomorrow, she pursed her lips and became slightly nervous.

*

The next day, He Yi was still sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums.

Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan’s magnified smiling faces were right in front of her, waking He Yi up from her sleep.

She got up and patted her head, which was still in a daze, and asked, “What time is it?”

If she remembered correctly, today was her wedding day.

Uh, she forgot to set the alarm. In addition, she slept a little late last night, so she couldn’t get up early in the morning.

“It’s half-past five!” Wei Jiameng said happily, “Xueshan and I got up at half-past four. The groom didn’t want to wake you up, so he insisted on letting you sleep for an hour.”

He Yi pursed her lips. This was Yi Liangze’s style. He was always meticulous in his care and consideration for her. She had to admit that he was a man who made people feel comfortable all the time.

Ji Xueshan helped He Yi to get up and accompanied her to the bathroom to wash up. Then, she opened the Michelin takeaway breakfast.

“Master Yi sent someone to especially bring these over for you. Hurry up and eat!”

He Yi ate some simple food then the makeup artist came in.

The makeup artist introduced herself to her. “Hi, good morning, bride. My name is Sue. These two ladies are my assistants, Xiao Tao and Xiao Deng. The three of us will be responsible for the bride’s makeup today!”

“Hello!” He Yi looked at the makeup artist, Sue. She was dressed in ordinary clothes but looked energetic. The other two assistants seemed to be dressed much better than her.

“Makeup artist Sue,” Wei Jiameng exclaimed, she suddenly realized, “You’re Sue, the famous makeup artist who has created the image of hundreds of celebrities! Oh My God, I’ve seen you create some make-up that makes people want to vomit blood. I didn’t expect you to look so...” she looked so unattractive.

Of course, no matter how realistic Wei Jiameng was, she knew that the rest of her words were inappropriate, so she swallowed them back.

This was already embarrassing enough! Fortunately, Sue was magnanimous and did not mind at all. “Even the simplest gardener can cultivate the most delicate and beautiful flowers! My image has little to do with my skills! It’s because I don’t care too much about the external image that I can put all my energy and attention on my work!”

Sue was very popular. Not only did she have excellent makeup skills, but she also had an unattractive appearance, which could make her work shine.

Thereafter, Sue personally started to apply makeup on He Yi, while Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan, who were today’s bridesmaids, were also attended to by Sue’s assistants, Xiao Tao and Xiao Deng.

The three of them sat together and chatted as they evaluated each other’s makeup.

“Wow, the beautiful diamond on He Yi’s headdress is so shiny. It’s so big!” Wei Jiameng couldn’t help taking a deep breath. “Please don’t tell me that diamond is real!”

Without waiting for others to answer, Sue smiled first. “Of course it’s real! Young Master Yi has always been generous. Although this diamond is big, when you later see the wedding ring prepared by the groom, you will understand that it is insignificant!”

“Oh my God! Does He Yi have a diamond ring?” Wei Jiameng shouted again. “Didn’t we prepare only one for this thing?”

“That’s an engagement ring, and this is a wedding ring. The meanings are different, and the occasions used are also different!” Sue attached great importance to today’s work. As she chatted with the bridesmaids, she continued to examine the bride’s makeup. She made adjustments and modifications from time to time.

It had to be said that Sue and her assistants were very efficient. After half an hour, the bride’s makeup and bridesmaid’s makeup were all done. They changed into their dresses with the help of the makeup artist and assistants.

He Yi looked at the pure white lace wedding dress that was put on her slim body. The graceful curves were just right. If it was more, she would have looked fatter. If it was less, she would have looked thinner. When was this custom-made wedding dress made? She had no recollection of it. She did not even remember when someone had measured it for her.

She had never paid attention to these things. She had only heard from Yi Liangze that the wedding dress had been custom-made, but she did not know that it was so perfect.

The bride in the mirror was as beautiful as a fairy. The white wedding dress was like a cloud in the sky, so pure that it was dazzling. The huge, beautiful diamond at her temples was shining brightly, reflecting the brilliance all the time. Sue then put a string of pearls on her neck, which could be said to be excellent.

“The pearls on this necklace are round and, soft and lustrous. Every single one of them is very rare!” Ji Xueshan exclaimed in amazement.

Sue did not think much of it. “I already said that this is only temporary! When we get to the church, we have to change the jewelry and match it with the wedding ring!”

Wei Jiameng expressed her satisfaction. “Young Master Yi is quite sincere! What he’s given to He Yi is the best!”

After the makeup was done, assistant Xiao Tao went out for a while. Soon, a group of relatives and friends came in to cause a ruckus, but the groom was nowhere to be seen!

“Eh, what is Young Master Yi doing?” Wei Jiameng was a little puzzled. “How can the groom not come in to welcome the bride?”

“We’re here!” An exaggerated shout was heard and Fang Yu could be seen leading a group of wealthy young masters.

Fang Yu, Wen Yongxiang, Gu Junkun, and the others were all famous profligate sons of the Yun City. They were also famous for their idleness. They all had a common characteristic — they were especially idle and amusing!

Moreover, when they had nothing to do, they practiced their eloquence. Wherever they went, it would be lively and there wouldn’t be any silence.

Having these three clowns at a wedding could liven up the atmosphere. The problem was that now was the time for the groom to appear, yet these three clowns appeared instead. It was truly shocking.

“Where’s the groom?” Ji Xueshan glared at Wen Yongxiang.

Wen Yongxiang immediately cried out in grievance, “How would I know? Second Brother Yi ordered us three brothers to come over and ma the new sister-in-law for him. We don’t know anything else!”

Wei Jiameng was also somewhat dissatisfied. “How can a wedding groom not appear? Young Master Yi’s airs are a little too big!” As she said that, she glanced at Fang Yu and seemed to be muttering to herself, “Could it be that rich people are so frivolous and don’t take people seriously?”

Fang Yu coughed and said, “You can’t generalize. I’m different!”

Such a simple sentence of love had made Wei Jiameng overjoyed. She was immersed in sweetness and happiness and could not extricate herself. She had forgotten to fight for He Yi’s rights.

However, Ji Xueshan was unmoved. She raised her chin, her tone was resolute and there was no room for negotiation. “How can there be such a rule? The groom is nowhere to be seen and his scoundrel friends have come to pick her up! No! If the groom doesn’t appear, our sister won’t come out!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The three of them did not expect Ji Xueshan to cause trouble. Gu Junkun was very dissatisfied. “This bridesmaid talks too much. Pull her aside!”

Fang Yu and Wen Yongxiang said in unison, “You do it!”

Gu Junkun looked at the two of them and felt a little strange. “Isn’t she just a woman? What’s there to be afraid of! I’ll do it! I’ve seen everything there is to see. Do you think I’m afraid of a beautiful woman?”

As he said that, the lustful Gu Junkun was ready to use the excuse of the wedding to reach out to Ji Xueshan.

Fang Yu and Wen Yongxiang looked at him sympathetically, as if they were watching a brave warrior go to his obligation.

What happened next was outside his expectations. Gu Junkun was first slapped, then kicked and he fell to the ground thirty feet away.

Only then did he understand how powerful this girl was! No wonder those two guys were so frightened when they mentioned her and didn’t dare to act rashly.

The crowd burst into laughter. This could be considered one of the sources of trouble in the room. It was just that in the past, it was the best man who caused trouble for the bridesmaids. Today, it was the bridesmaid who beat up the best man.

Amidst the laughter, He Yi slowly stood up and said indifferently, “Let’s go!”

She didn’t care about the situation of the wedding, and she didn’t think much of Yi Liangze’s absence. Maybe it was because of the pressure from the family, or because she felt wronged and unwilling about some things, or maybe it was because she wasn’t feeling well... she didn’t want to dig into the specific reason why he didn’t show up.

Since he gave her this wedding, she had to actively cooperate to smooth things over. Being pretentious was a trick only used by young girls who were in love. She was completely uninterested.

Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan saw her take the initiative to go out alone, so they couldn’t stop her anymore. They stood by her side in place of the groom and walked out.

*

The morning sun rose, and the weather was beautiful. It was a fine and sunny day. The factory yard was filled with people, and the sound of drums and music resounded in the sky. There was a large group of relatives and friends invited by the groom’s side, as well as workers from He Yi’s factory. Some residents came to join in the fun. All in all, the place was crowded with people, and it was unprecedentedly lively.

He Yi never thought that her factory yard would one day become so lively. It was really like cooking oil in a raging fire.

A bright red embroidered carpet stretched from the steps of the office building to the door along the road, which undoubtedly steered her forward.

However, without the groom on the red carpet, how could the bride walk down on her own?

“I’m not going! This is too much bullying!” Wei Jimeng was also unhappy. She pouted as if she was the one who had been wronged.

“We’ll just wait here and see who can outlast who!” Ji Xueshan made a prompt decision.

At this moment, the sound of a motor came from the sky, followed by the cheers of the crowd.

He Yi raised her head along with the crowd and saw the rain of flowers in the sky.

More than a dozen helicopters hovered in the low sky, sprinkling colorful petals as if it was the next rain of petals.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

“It smells so good!”

“It’s so shocking!”

..

Amidst the hubbub of voices, it was soul-stirring beauty. The rain of flowers in the sky was endless. Soon, the petals fell on people’s heads, shoulders, red carpets, and lawns... there were petals everywhere, and the air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance, it was like a fairyland in a fairy tale.

He Yi stretched out a delicate hand, and soon, there were many colorful rose petals on her palm. A layer of petals covered her feet, and she was in a sea of flowers.

Her clear eyes were filled with tears, but her heart was slowly boiling. She thought that she would never believe in love again. Once, she wrote in her diary, “What the hell is love? Unless there is a rain of flowers everywhere, only then will I believe that there is so-called love in this world again.”

Yi Liangze must have read her diary (or accidentally read it). He gave her a shower of flowers as a wedding gift and surprise.

Slowly looking up again, she saw a helicopter hovering at the low point. Through the glass window, she saw the pilot’s handsome face with a warm smile, the corners of his lips curved in a familiar seductive arc. Just as her eyes lit up, the cabin door opened, and countless five-colored roses poured down.

This time, it was not petals, but flowers. They fell on He Yi’s side, making her world bloom everywhere.
