The Female Villain Lost Her Memory After Rebirth - Chapter 239
Liu Lingxiao spoke up at the right moment: “Yan Yan, if you’d like, you can have Ye Jin take you to Beijing for a visit. That’s where most of my activities are centered.”
Xu Yan smiled, her eyes curving into crescents: “Great!”
“The groom and his party are here!” One of the bridesmaids exclaimed, peering out the window.
Liu Lingxiao appeared quite calm: “Yan Yan, did you hide your shoe well?”
Xu Yan glanced at the single shoe on her foot: “Umm… I hid it in the drawer.”
Bai Hua looked disapproving: “Hiding it in the drawer? They’ll find it in no time!”
Liu Lingxiao glanced out the window: “Don’t worry, they won’t find it.”
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ye Jin’s voice came from outside: “Yan Yan! I’m here to pick you up!”
Liu Lingxiao, with a lollipop in her mouth, opened the door and leaned against the doorframe, looking at the group outside: “Come in, then.”
Ye Jin eyed her warily: “You’re letting me in that easily?”
Liu Lingxiao flashed a smile, revealing teeth so white they were dazzling: “So you know it shouldn’t be easy?” Her expression changed instantly, “Well, better hand over some red envelopes then.”
Bai Hua also came out, leaning on the other side of the doorframe: “We’ll have to see how generous these red envelopes are before we decide whether to let you in.”
Ye Jin beckoned to his groomsmen: “Give them the red envelopes, quickly.”
Two of the groomsmen stepped forward trembling, their hands shaking as they each handed several red envelopes to Liu Lingxiao and Bai Hua: “H-here you go.”
Liu Lingxiao casually passed her envelopes to Bai Hua, saying meaningfully: “Little parrots…”
The two groomsmen visibly shuddered and immediately handed all their remaining envelopes to Liu Lingxiao: “Boss Liu! Please take these!”
Bai Hua weighed the envelopes in her hand: “These feel quite light.”
Xu Mo held back a smile: “Mom, why don’t you open them and see what’s inside?”
Bai Hua raised an eyebrow and curiously opened an envelope, tipping it over. Several small golden objects fell out, slipping through her fingers and tinkling as they hit the ground.
She paused, bewildered, and picked up the golden items: “What are these? Gold medals?”
Liu Lingxiao glanced over: “Oh, these? They’re probably hand-carved by Ye Jin, with zodiac designs and blessings.”
Bai Hua looked even more confused: “These are all gold?”
Ye Jin smiled warmly: “Yes, they are.”
Bai Hua: “…”
How should one react to being suddenly outshone like this?
Liu Lingxiao’s expression remained unchanged as she tilted her head: “There are quite a few bridesmaids here.”
Ye Jin waved his hand: “Keep handing out the red envelopes.”
More groomsmen surged forward, seemingly intimidated by Liu Lingxiao, and clumsily distributed red envelopes to each bridesmaid.
Liu Lingxiao looked somewhat satisfied and turned to Bai Hua: “Shall we let them pass?”
Bai Hua, looking at the handful of small gold plates she couldn’t even count, quietly took two steps back: “Come in, then.”
Liu Lingxiao also stepped back accommodatingly, and Ye Jin, along with Gu Qinghuai, Xu Mo, and the others, all rushed into the room.
Seeing Xu Yan sitting on the large bed, Ye Jin’s gaze instantly softened: “Yan Yan.”
Xu Yan inexplicably blushed: “F-find the shoe. You can only take me with you if you find the shoe.”
Ye Jin couldn’t possibly ask Xu Mo to search, so he turned to Gu Qinghuai: “Brother Gu.” Then to his groomsmen, “All of you, go find the bride’s wedding shoe.”
Gu Qinghuai secretly glanced at Liu Lingxiao, unsure whether he should join the search. To be safe, he made a show of looking around halfheartedly.
Xu Yan hadn’t hidden her shoe very well, and after just a few minutes, one of Ye Jin’s groomsmen called out: “Found it!”
Before Ye Jin could rejoice, Liu Lingxiao drawled: “Are you sure about that?”
The groomsman looked at Ye Jin, then at the delicate wedding shoe in the drawer, and finally stole a glance at Liu Lingxiao leaning against the doorframe.
He promptly closed the drawer: “Oh? I was mistaken. Haven’t found the wedding shoe yet.”
Ye Jin, who had witnessed the whole thing: “…”
Xu Mo and Gu Qinghuai: “Pfft~”
Bai Hua and Xu Yan also caught on and sat there, enjoying the show without any rush.
Ye Jin and his men rummaged around aimlessly for a while longer. Just as Bai Hua was about to help him, he wearily wiped his face: “Two fried chickens and two roast chickens.”
Liu Lingxiao curled her lips: “How come you can’t even find one shoe? Can’t you speed things up?”
Ye Jin sighed inwardly and finally dared to take out the shoe: “Found it.”Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
He knelt on one knee in front of Xu Yan and carefully put the shoe on her foot: “Yan Yan, I found it.”
This phrase seemed to carry multiple meanings. Xu Yan’s eyes gradually reddened: “Ye Jin…”
Bai Hua watched, both happy and a little heartbroken. She stepped in at the right moment: “Alright, alright, let’s get going.”
Downstairs in the open area, a row of understated yet luxurious wedding cars was parked, with the one in the middle looking the most ordinary.
Ye Jin swept Xu Yan up in his arms, his eyes full of joy, and carried her straight to the car.
Liu Lingxiao held up her dress with one hand and waved lightly with the other: “Everyone follow along.”
Gu Qinghuai eagerly approached her: “Walk slowly, be careful not to step on your dress.”
Liu Lingxiao looked at him quizzically: “Aren’t you supposed to be a groomsman today? Why are you walking slowly with me?”
Gu Qinghuai hesitated: “Then I’ll go ahead with Ye Jin and the others.”
Liu Lingxiao waved her hand: “Mm.”
Gu Qinghuai hadn’t gone far when Bai Hua walked up, smiling: “That young man likes you, doesn’t he?”
Liu Lingxiao was momentarily taken aback but kept her composure: “Auntie, how could that be possible? We’ve been sworn enemies for many years.”
Bai Hua saw through it all and shook her head with a helpless smile.
Liu Lingxiao stood there for a moment, then shook her head and continued following the group.
She had always disliked trouble, so Ye Jin hadn’t assigned her any more tasks.
As soon as they arrived at the villa where the wedding was to be held, Liu Lingxiao quickly found her seat and sat down, watching Ye Jin bustling about.
Xu Yan also waited upstairs with Bai Hua for a while before being called down.
She pressed her neck and grumbled softly: “Mom, getting married is so tiring.”
Bai Hua became uncharacteristically serious as she took the lipstick and applied another layer to Xu Yan’s lips. “Yan, you’ve truly grown up now.”
Xu Yan instinctively pressed her lips together. “Mom, just the other day you were still calling me a child.”
Bai Hua couldn’t help but smile. “That’s right. Our Yan will always be Mommy and Daddy’s little girl.”
Xu Yan wrapped her arms around her mother’s waist, acting coy like she did as a child. “Mommy~”
Bai Hua’s eyes reddened slightly. “Still acting spoiled? In a few years, you’ll be a mother yourself.”
Xu Yan whined in disagreement. “But I can still be spoiled with you.”
Bai Hua stroked her daughter’s long hair indulgently. “Yes, yes, you little princess!”
