Chapter 473: Joy and Nervousness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The event location was filled with joy.
The brothers of the Shi family had a clear division of labor. Eldest Brother and Second Brother were steady and were in charge of receiving guests. Shi He and Shi Mu were inside to check again if there were any loopholes and if the equipment was functioning normally.
Su Tang had slept at Bai Xue’s house last night. Now, the two of them were running around the venue with red eyes. One moment, they were helping to pass the wine, and the next moment, they were running errands for the brothers.
When Shen Xian found them, she helplessly asked them to go to the lounge next door to sleep before the ceremony started.
However, Su Tang was worried about leaving. Last night, she and Bai Xue carefully checked the ceremony process, afraid that there would be any mistakes. She stayed up until almost dawn before closing her eyes for a while. Before she could sleep for long, she was woken up by the stylist Shen Xian had sent over.
Shi Man, the protagonist, became the most idle. She sat in the dressing room and looked at the bustling crowd downstairs. She suddenly took out her cell phone from her bag and found Sean. “Have you investigated everyone who entered and left the event location? Did any strangers sneak in?”
“Boss, don’t worry. There’s definitely nothing wrong. I’ll keep a close watch here. There won’t be any mistakes!” From the moment the first guest arrived, Sean had been sitting in the car and checking the faces of the people who entered with a magnifying glass.
He held a list and detailed information of the people who had entered and left today in his hand. He already remembered it very well. In order to protect his eldest son’s engagement party, he had worked the entire night and did not dare to close his eyes.
Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner. Shi Man told herself not to worry, but the tense lines on her face still exposed the nervousness in her heart.
Yi Zheng received the guests in the lobby for a while. Thinking that Shi Man had not come out yet, he came over to take a look worriedly. Unexpectedly, he saw Shi Man so flustered. He immediately laughed and said, “I didn’t expect such a calm person like you to be flustered today.”
“Stop joking.” Shi Man left the window in frustration and walked to the sofa to sit down. “1 keep feeling that we must have missed something. Why don’t we smooth out the information in our hands again?”
“Okay.” Yi Zheng sat beside her easily. Just as he was about to accompany her to figure out what had happened, someone suddenly knocked on the dressing room door.
Tang Zhe stood at the door with a strange expression. He frowned and asked uncertainly, “Miss Shi, Master, the Zheng family is here and brought their daughter, Zheng Xin. Can they enter?”
Shi Man sighed and waved her hand in annoyance. “We have to invite her in properly. It’s such a big day. If we don’t let Uncle Zheng and Aunt Chi in, 1 don’t know how the people outside will spread rumors about our relationship. As for Zheng Xin, get someone to keep an eye on her, and don’t let her take the opportunity to cause trouble.”
“Yes.” With Shi Man’s words, it was much easier for Tang Zhe to deal with Zheng Xin next.
On such an important occasion today, Zheng Xin could not behave atrociously like before.
Shen Xian did not see Shi Man and Yi Zheng in the lobby. She guessed that the two of them were resting upstairs, so she came over with a smile. When she saw Tang Zhe standing at the door, the smile on her face deepened. “Why are you still here? There are many people downstairs. It’s almost time. Come down with me.”
Shi Man and Yi Zheng looked at each other. She could tell how happy he was today. Perhaps she should relax and enjoy her only engagement ceremony.
Thinking of this, Shi Man heaved a sigh of relief. She took the initiative to lift her skirt and stand up. “Let’s go. Don’t make others wait.”
In the hall, all the spotlights were gathered in the direction of the door. The guests had already taken their seats and found their own connections. Before the ceremony began, they forcefully turned this place into their business venue.
Only one table had a different atmosphere.
Su Tang sat nervously at the dining table. Even the hand holding the cup was trembling.
Shi Mu looked at her and Bai Xue in amusement and poured them a glass of fruit wine with low alcoholic content. He couldn’t help but tease, “It’s not like you’re engaged. Why are you so nervous?”
Su Tang shook her head gently. Her eyes were still red and swollen from staying up all night. “I don’t know, but I’m a little worried.”
“Don’t worry, Manman will still live with us after the engagement. She won’t leave with Yi Zheng.” Shi Mu thought that Su Tang liked to stick to Shi Man. Now that Manman was engaged first, she was a little afraid that she would be lonely in the future, so he comforted her like this.
However, Su Tang knew that this was not what she was worried about.
In the past, she would panic before something big happened. Her uncle had even teased her that she was young and inexperienced. After going through more events, her mentality would calm down.
Gao Wen sat beside her and fantasized about Shi Man wearing the gown she had personally designed to participate in the engagement ceremony. Unfortunately, fantasies could only be fantasies.
The exciting ceremonial music suddenly resounded in the hall. The spotlight circled the venue before returning to the closed door..
