Chapter 620: Regret Is Useless
Luo Siyuan was in charge of leading the procession, and when Luo Qiao departed, he had prepared for her a large bag of candy and also stuffed several packs of cigarettes in his pocket. With sugary treats and cigarettes to pave the way, the fetching of the bride went off without a hitch.
The bride was carried out on the back of her brother, Woo Yunhai, to the leading sedan, after which the Woo family members urged those accompanying the bridal procession to board the vehicles. Upon seeing his daughter getting into the car, Professor Woo said to Luo Xuyan, "Xuyan, I’m entrusting Yunmei to you, and I hope you will take good care of her."
Luo Xuyan gave a deep bow to his teacher—no, his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Please rest assured, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will take good care of Yunmei and cherish her for a lifetime."
The train of cars set off mightily towards the Luo Family home, where the sight of the arriving vehicles prompted the lighting of firecrackers. The two sisters-in-law were in charge of welcoming the newlyweds, while Luo Qiao watched the excitement from the sidelines, observing someone trying to prick the couple with a pin.
This vexing habit truly disgusted Luo Qiao, so she discreetly moved in to block the offender. Despite repeated attempts to squeeze past, the individual was skillfully thwarted by Luo Qiao.
Once at the Luo home, the officiant guided the couple to first bow before the portrait of the Chairman, then twice to the elders, and finally, the couple bowed to each other three times—ritual complete!
The Ning Family members, standing in the crowd, had eyes filled with both relief and sorrow. If only their younger sister hadn’t caused trouble, how perfect this day would have been.
The guests escorted the newlyweds back to their bridal chamber amid lively festivities. The bride was urged to light cigarettes, and the couple was coaxed to eat an apple together—on one’s wedding day, there was no distinguishing between big and small matters. The room was filled with laughter that never ceased.
Then came the call to begin the feast. Those stirring up fun scattered to their seats; after all, there were plenty of meat dishes at the wedding banquet, and being late would mean missing out on good places to sit.
Unlike the joy of the Luo Family, Ning Xueling had just heard from next door that her eldest son was getting married that day, and she learned of it through the words of others. She was so angry that she went home and cried under the blankets.
She now truly regretted divorcing Luo Haotian; she had been too naive. But now, she had no face to turn back, and knowing Haotian’s temperament, even if she wanted to return, he probably wouldn’t accept her.
