Chapter 1219: Xia Yehua’s Marriage (14)
But Xia Yehua was going to marry Li Mao.
She had met Li Mao previously and she knew him. She had also seen Xia Yehua and Li Mao together in the past.
They got along very well and when she was with him, one could tell that she was genuinely happy.
Hence, they would be very happy together.
But how could she let that woman Xia Yehua live happily while she suffered?
At this thought, Mei Feng sprang up from her seat.
She picked up her cell phone and dialed a number. Then she spoke to the person on the other end of the line, “I need you to do something for me.”

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Shen villa was joyous.
Everyone was gathered in the living room discussing Xia Yehua’s wedding.
Shen Liangchuan sat there without saying a word throughout.
Li Tianyu and Shen Zihao, on the other hand, would not stop arguing.
Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan were holding their iPads checking up information.
“I think a Chinese-style wedding is a good idea.”
“Western-style is better.”
“Look here, look at how luxurious the Chinese traditional wedding dress is!”
“Look at how pristine and pure the Western white bridal gown is!”
“But the Chinese-style—”
In the midst of their never-ending argument, Shen Zihao suddenly looked up at Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan and said, “Hey, what are you both doing? Why aren’t you helping out here?”
Xia Nuannuan and Qiao Lian exchanged a look and started laughing. They put aside their iPads and said as they looked up, “We’re selecting the event venue. Do you guys think it’s better to hold it in Beijing or somewhere else? Look at this island here, it’s beautiful!”
The two men immediately moved over when they heard this and simultaneously turned to look at the computer screen.
“This is good.”
“Are you stupid or something?! Obviously that place has a bluer sea!”
“That’s just because it’s a picture. Can you stop being so naive?”
Shen Zihao fumed. “Who are you calling naive?”
Li Tianyu was going to speak again when Xia Yehua suddenly said, “You people, please don’t worry about this.”
They turned to look at her immediately as she continued, “I’ve already discussed it with Uncle Li, we won’t have a wedding. We’ll just collect our certificate and that will do.”
Everyone was stunned to hear this.
After a moment, Shen Zihao broke the silence, “How can we not have a wedding?”
“That’s right, you’re getting married. How can you not have a wedding?”
Xia Nuannuan added, “Mom, you’ve always lived a refined life. So how could you do away with something as important as a wedding?”
Qiao Lian nodded in agreement and said, “Getting married is a one-in-a-lifetime event, how could you not have a wedding?”
Xia Yehua laughed and replied, “Both of us are already this old, why go through a wedding? We’d be inviting laughter from others. I’d rather keep a low profile.”
Shen Liangchuan was going to say something when Xia Yehua quickly interrupted, “You and Xiao Qiao didn’t have a wedding either, so it’s not that strange that your Uncle Li and I prefer not to have a wedding.”
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan fell silent upon hearing those words.
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Qiao Lian immediately said, “Mom, my situation was different from yours.”
At the time, she had married into the family for money.
And although Shen Liangchuan had married her on the pretext that he wanted to have a child, the reality had been that he was out to take revenge. So how was this in any way similar?
At this point, she reflexively looked at Shen Liangchuan. He stood there quietly for a while before he looked at Qiao Lian.
After a moment, he looked away from her and strode towards the door, saying, “I have to return to the office to take care of something. Please continue without me.”
Then he left.
