Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

"Yes, that's right. We're all family, and we'll always be family."

Ms. Zeng nodded, and Jin Sui smiled and said, "Come in first and take a rest."

"Ah."

Sheng Ning stepped inside.

the other side.

Jinming sat upright in his chair, his back ramrod straight. Many people came over to greet him, but he remained nonchalant.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ming."

"Mr. Ming, let's have a few more drinks this time."

"You deserve a lot of credit for Chino and Natsumi getting to where they are today!!"

Jinming was initially quite pretentious, but upon hearing this, he immediately dropped his airs, nodded slightly, and smiled demurely: "It's alright, it was mainly the children who discussed it themselves, and we as parents... didn't interfere."

"Uh…"

Halfway through his speech, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten how to speak in classical Chinese. He paused for a moment before saying, "Today, we are honored to have so many distinguished guests here. Please enjoy the delicacies and have a pleasant chat. If there is anything that is not in a good manner, please feel free to tell us."

Everyone was taken aback, exchanged glances, and one of them immediately smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely!"

"Uh... what's wrong with Mr. Ming?"

"I don't know."

"The way he talks is like he's in a movie; it's actually quite interesting."

"...Showing off."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

After everyone dispersed, people began to discuss the matter in small groups.

"Look at you, look at you! Did I invite you here to act like a king? Are you just sitting here waiting to lay eggs? You didn't even bother to help out at Xiaxia's wedding. What are you doing here? Get over here and help right now!"

Just as we finished decorating this place and were about to sit for a while longer, we heard the voice of a female Zhang Fei coming from behind us.

He frowned, but wasn't really angry, because everyone had left and no one was paying attention to this place. His wife was actually quite considerate; at least she didn't "slander" him in front of so many people.

Thinking this, he slowly turned around: "What do you mean?"

"You son of a bitch, come quick!"

His wife rolled up her sleeves and yelled, "If you don't come over here right now, believe me, I'll rip your balls off and use them as yo-yos!"

"...Nonsense!"

Jinming blushed and hurriedly walked over, sweating profusely, saying, "Other staff members are busy with the work here. You're here as a relative attending the wedding, why are you helping out like this!"

"Oh, so it's wrong for me to help out at Xiaxia's wedding?" His wife was furious. "Don't make excuses for yourself. Every word you say will only make things worse."

"……grass!"

He cursed today.

Who are you insulting?

"I'm criticizing myself."

"You'd better do that."

"..."

I'm truly impressed!
The wedding venue is indeed a bit chaotic right now because there are too many people, and most of them haven't seen each other for a long time. They naturally want to take this opportunity to chat and catch up with each other.

However, this chaotic order did not last long. The professional team that Ikeno hired was very effective. They were the world's top wedding planning teams, and the closer it got to the start of the wedding, the more orderly the scene became.

As noon approached, the venue had been transformed, with hundreds of guests seated on both sides and a grand ceremony stage at the front, with various cameras recording the proceedings.

"Teacher Chi, I'm so nervous."

At the entrance, Jin Xia held Chi Ye's hand tightly and took a deep breath.

She looked stunning today, dressed in a Western-style wedding gown. However, their wedding wasn't exactly a pure Western style, nor was it a so-called modern Chinese style. Instead, it was a unique wedding ceremony that they created together based on their shared aesthetic preferences and discussions.

how to say…

It might seem a bit out of place to many people, but to be honest, people of their stature don't care about what others think. In fact, many people might even follow suit and imitate their wedding in the future.

"What's there to be nervous about? It's not the first time."

Ikeno still doesn't speak human language.

This summer, she fell slightly silent: "Who else have you married?"

Ikeno: "Don't get me wrong, I meant we're an old married couple."

"...Teacher Chi, you've changed."

Chiye: "?"

He glanced warily at the old lady: "Don't be silly."

This summer, she could only hold back, peeked at her toes, and said nervously, "Is it almost time?"

"It should be soon."

"Are you going to sing?"

Ikeno asked in surprise, "Huh? How did you know?"

The Empress Dowager snorted twice: "Do you have any secrets from me?"

"...These people are really something."

Ikeno first gave the excuse of exploiting others, and then said, "It wasn't singing, it was writing some."

"You wrote something?"

The old lady's eyes sparkled: "Is that a love song?"

"That's it."

"Does it count?"

"Oh dear, you're ruining the atmosphere. Just wait and see."

"..."

As the two were talking, it was exactly noon.

A gentle voice that everyone was familiar with rang out.

Welcome everyone.

Teacher He walked onto the stage.

Today, Teacher He also wore a black suit with a small red flower on his chest, looking almost the same as the rest of the family.

However, he is an insider in the industry and has no family relationship with Chi Ye or Jin Xia, yet he can dress like this. Everyone can see that Chi Ye and Teacher He must have an extraordinary relationship in private.

At this moment, Teacher He was also very happy. He first came up on time, said a few opening remarks, and then got straight to the point: "Then I won't waste any more words... You all probably want to see today's two main characters as soon as possible..."

"So, where are they?"

Teacher He looked around, and everyone's eyes followed him.

The wedding venue in Bali was beautifully decorated, and the weather was perfect today, not too hot. A salty sea breeze blew through the venue, and strings of frangipani and white dendrobium orchids twined around the carved wooden doorway hidden in the tropical jungle. When the wind blew, the petals fell softly like a gentle rain of flowers.

The attendant, dressed in a plain linen robe, carried a lantern adorned with strings of seashells and walked slowly ahead on a path paved with bluestone slabs.

Everyone's eyes fell on that door.

"It's time to enter."

Yang Zi explained proudly, "I've attended several weddings of this caliber."

"Stop talking."

His ex-wife thought he was being too loud. At a time like this, why was he still shouting so loudly? Wasn't he just making a fool of himself?
Unaware of what was happening, Yang Zi heard faint orchestral music coming from the end of a distant forest path.

A gentle violin melody drifted in on the sea breeze, and the guests, who had been whispering amongst themselves because of Yang Zi's voice, fell silent once more.

The newlyweds are about to enter.

Ms. Zeng, Mr. Jin, and Sheng Ning, who were sitting at the front, each had different expressions. The former were gratified, while the latter had a slightly complicated expression.

Chi Ye was the first to come out. He was wearing an ivory white suit, with a tall and straight posture, and a small tulip was pinned to his cuff... It wasn't that he didn't know the meaning of the flower, but rather that the Empress Dowager loved tulips the most.

Yes, he always remembered the first time the two met, when the old lady was sobbing over a bunch of dying tulips outside the cottage.

"Both crying and laughing," oh well, let her be.

After he appeared, he did not enter the venue immediately. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the path, turned around and looked behind him. His already bright eyes were now filled with a tenderness that could melt hearts.

The next second, the bride, Jin Xia, appeared in sight.

She wore a backless mermaid wedding dress, the skirt embroidered with tiny crystals that shimmered with light as she walked.

The trailing hem of her skirt was gently lifted by two flower girls dressed in light pink tulle dresses.

A light silk veil with tassels hanging down the edge, a white tulip wreath in her hair, and a bouquet of white roses, blue hydrangeas and eucalyptus leaves in her hands.

Beauty, ultimate beauty. Ikeno had already seen the Empress Dowager in her wedding dress, but every time she saw it, she was still amazed.

The most beautiful moment in a woman's life is perhaps when she puts on her wedding dress. Ikeno used to think that this was an imposed meaning, but only after experiencing it firsthand did she realize that it was true.

At least in his eyes and heart, no one could compare to Jin Xia at this moment.

"You're so beautiful."

Ikeno took her hand and couldn't help but whisper in her ear.

The old lady was already very nervous, and now her little face was flushed. Upon hearing the sound, she was overjoyed and couldn't help but proudly say, "There are so many people!"

Then, fearing that Chino might misunderstand him, he secretly added, "Say more, I love to hear it!"

Chiye: "..."

In this segment, according to the original procedure, the girl's father would hold his daughter's hand, walk up to Ikeno, and hand her his hand. The meaning was simple: "I'm entrusting my daughter to you. Please treat her well."

But this doesn't follow the original procedure... Ikeno and Jin Xia chose to hold hands and enter together, because they both felt that their relationship didn't need any so-called entrustment.

If so, it must be that the two people entrusted each other with their lives and stayed together until the very end.

"Ugh."

Seeing this scene today still makes me feel a little sad. This girl is really something. It's one thing to be so willful before, but now that she's getting married and having a wedding, she's completely canceled her father's scenes... What do you call that? It's truly heartbreaking.

"Alright, their child is almost a year old, what are you still sighing about?"

Ms. Zeng, on the other hand, was more open-minded and couldn't help but say, "You should be secretly happy. Chi Ye is a really good kid."

Today, something seemed off: "I remember you weren't so agreeable before, so what's wrong with you now? You've been saying 'that's right' non-stop for the past few days."

"I've come to understand some things."

Ms. Zeng smiled slightly and said, "I felt it was inappropriate before because of Chi Ye's personality, and also because... things were going quite well at home back then, so there was a bit of a test and scrutiny involved."

"now what?"

Once you've asked the question today, you'll know the answer.

Yes, the Jin family may look the same now, but in reality, it is far worse than before. With everything Chi Ye has now, if he wanted to, he could have a million ways to wrong Jin Xia.

But now, his family can't do anything to him.

Has Ikeno ever had that experience?
I didn't see it today. Everyone says that Chi Ye is a bit of a womanizer. He has signed so many top celebrities with whom he has had scandals in his company. Also, he has a gloomy personality and is somewhat unscrupulous in his actions... That's how he was in his early years.

They don't seem like a good match, especially since the Jin family is a large family, and they feel that Chino is not a good match for Jin Xia.

But all of this gradually changes over time. Ikeno will still be Ikeno, but what about the Ima family? Now, many members of the Ima family are even starting to rely on Ikeno.

Perhaps just like her feelings for Chi Ye this summer, in the eyes of others, the old lady is a very difficult person to get along with, and even a very hateful bad person, a drama queen, but she has never been a drama queen when it comes to Chi Ye.

Ikeno is also someone who will stop at nothing to deal with many people, but he has never been "unscrupulous" towards Jin Xia.

The reason these two people have been able to get to where they are today is not because of unlimited one-sided giving and concessions, but because their feelings for each other have never changed from beginning to end.

"Let's go."

Chi Ye said softly, took the old lady's hand, and the two walked onto the beige linen carpet like a golden couple.

Follow the path lined with string lights and flowers, and walk step by step toward the ceremony pavilion.

At opportune moments, waiters raised their flower baskets and gently scattered pink and white rose petals into the air. The petals landed on the couple's shoulders and then drifted away with the wind to either side of the carpet.

Waves, orchestral music, and the sound of music.

On either side of the ceremony area were neatly arranged seats for guests.

Shi Jinwei sat in a relatively far back position. Yes, she was here today too. Ever since Chi Ye entered, her gaze had been fixed on him, and she didn't look away until he and Jin Xia walked past her.

"Stop looking, hey, stop looking, look at the woman!"

Although Sister Shang next to her wanted to watch the show, she only said it casually. Could it really be that on a day like today, Sister Pliers would turn into a madwoman and cause a huge scene?
"..."

Shi Jinwei, unusually, did not argue back. She waited until the two walked onto the stage and began to speak before turning her gaze away.

Upon seeing this, Sister Shang's heart pounded with anxiety.

What does it mean that the pliers are no longer clamping?
It's very simple: Shi Jinwei no longer cares.

Do you think I'll ever have that day?

The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat: "What nonsense are you talking about, this..."

I meant marriage.

Sister Shang remained silent for a moment: "I think...maybe. Everyone has to get married someday, right?"

Shi Jin remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "Perhaps."

After saying that, she picked up her bag and stood up.

What are you going to do?

Shang Jie was startled.

"I've already looked at it, I'm going back now, I have two more engagements to attend tomorrow."

Shang Jie was dumbfounded: "Chi Ye is such a beast, he didn't even give you a day off?"

"...Yes, he's a real beast." (End of Chapter)
