Chapter 2277: Zhou Hua Causing Trouble
Editor: Atlas Studios
It was soon the day of the wedding. Qiao Mei stood behind Tang Hui and said, “You look so beautiful. This dress suits you very well.”
Tang Hui was dressed in a luxurious gown. Although it was not custom-made, it was still an expensive dress. She had always dreamed of what it would feel like to wear a wedding dress one day. Although it was a little different from what she had imagined, Xia Guang had already done his best.
“It’s because you’re so thoughtful,” Tang Hui said.
“I have bought you a lot of clothes and bags. They’re all in the wardrobe. Treat them as your wedding gifts,” Qiao Mei said.
“I’ve caused you to spend too much money. I had thought the grudge between you and your third uncle would affect me,” Tang Hui said with a smile.
Qiao Mei shrugged and said indifferently, “Those things are in the past. The people who deserve to be punished have also received their due punishment. As long as Third Uncle doesn’t insist on going against me, we’ll be able to get along.”
Tang Hui was not in the mood to think about the wedding at the moment. She could only think about how much wedding gift money she could collect today and whether it would be enough for her to repay their debt. She wanted to pay back the money they owed Xia Jun as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would never be able to stand up tall in the Xia family.
They did not invite too many people to the wedding banquet. Qiao Mei had sent the restaurant chefs to Tang Hui’s house to cook and had also advertised this fact very prominently.
The Tang family did not have much of a background in the capital. They were just an ordinary family and no one was familiar with Tang Hui. All the guests were family friends of the Xia family. After all, there was nothing much to celebrate about Xia Guang getting married at this age. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
“Oh right! Does Zhou Hua know that I’m marrying him?” Tang Hui suddenly said.
“We didn’t tell anyone,” Qiao Mei said vaguely.
Zhou Hua would definitely see this as a good opportunity to come and cause trouble. It was not just Zhou Hua, there was probably another old acquaintance who would want to take advantage of the occasion to come and secretly harm the Xia family!
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman’s heart-wrenching scream could be heard outside. “Xia Guang! You’ve made me suffer! I don’t want to live anymore! How can you abandon me and marry a new wife! How can you betray me!”
Tang Hui and Qiao Mei stood nervously at the room door and looked out at the commotion. Tang Hui was about to step out of the room when Qiao Mei quickly stopped her and said, “Third Uncle hasn’t come to fetch you yet. Going out now will only bring you bad luck. It’s better if I go and take a look.”
“I just want to see what that woman looks like and what she wants to do,” Tang Hui said with a smile.
Tang Hui seemed to be in a good mood, as if she was looking forward to Zhou Hua ruining the wedding banquet. Qiao Mei even wondered if Tang Hui had purposely revealed the location of the wedding banquet to Zhou Hua and deliberately lured her here.
If she had done something that would damage the Xia family’s reputation in order not to marry Xia Guang, this move was way too dangerous. Moreover, it would hurt her own reputation too. The gains would not make up for the losses.
“Don’t misunderstand! It’s not me! I’m just curious and want to see if she will really die at my door,” Tang Hui quickly explained.
“I think she might,” Qiao Mei said indifferently.
“How silly. So what if she dies? Nothing will change even if she’s dead,” Tang Hui said as she looked at Zhou Hua, who was sitting on the ground and throwing a tantrum in the distance.
“Humans always want to use their own lives to punish others. Perhaps they think that their own life is the most precious thing they have. The truth is that they will only hurt themselves,” Qiao Mei said.
“She can only hurt a person who loves her. Even if she dies in the arms of a person who doesn’t love her, he won’t feel touched at all. He will only feel disgusted. Maybe he might feel a sense of regret for a moment. However, it’s not regret for letting her down, but regret for marrying her in the first place,” Tang Hui said mockingly.
Qiao Mei could not help but applaud Tang Hui. It was very impressive for a woman living in such a feudal era to be able to say such things. If not for the fact that she had spent a long time with Tang Hui, she would have thought that Tang Hui had also transmigrated from the future.
“What do you plan to do? My third uncle is a soft-hearted person. If he leaves with Zhou Hua later, how are you going to settle the mess he leaves behind?” Qiao Mei asked.
“What’s the hurry? There’s always a way out,” Tang Hui said happily.
Xia Guang rushed over from the backyard. It looked like he had not gone to the main door to see Zhou Hua and had rushed to Tang Hui’s room to explain himself.
“I’m sorry! I really don’t know why she’s here! I… I’ll go and send her away now!” Xia Guang said apologetically.
Tang Hui held Xia Guang’s hand and said, “We’re already husband and wife. You say that I’m the only one for you from now on. Since Sister Zhou is here because of me, we should face this matter together!”
Xia Guang looked at Tang Hui gratefully and said, “Alright! Let’s go together!”
