The Stars In Your Eyes - Chapter 238

Bai Yuren’s wedding is crowded with all their family and friends. A lot of their families who they rarely meet also come.

Bai Yuren’s and He Zheng’s family is ordinary. Bai Yuren’s big family in fact are in lower economic status compared to He Zheng’s big family. A typical common family in this country.

This is the first time for He Zheng’s big family to meet Bai Yutang and Jian Kang Lu. At first they were just mesmerized to look at two handsome men holding their cute children. They questioned, where is the mother? They almost choked when they heard that He Zheng’s brother-in-law is a cutsleeve.

So, no need to speak about Bai Yutang’s status to have a husband instead of wife in his own big family, it causes hidden turbulence on the wedding day.

Some of them clacking their tongues, lamented how shameful, truly inappropriate for this family proudly showed their dirty deeds. Some of Lu Hua’s relatives mock her on her back.

“Poor Lu Hua. After her husband died, she needed to work in the kitchen. I remember she used to stand so proud, thinking of herself like a noble lady. Didn’t know that her son is a cutsleeve for years. What is she thinking, allowing her son to marry another man? Peh peh peh. If it was me, I won’t even acknowledge him again as my son.”

Suddenly they forgot, just last year they came to Lu Hua’s door to borrow some money.

Lu Hua just thickens her face, focusing on her daughter’s wedding. What she could not hear won’t hurt her. She smiled and greeted the relatives and Bai Haoran’s old colleagues, as well as paying attention to the two big families.

This is the second time for Bai Yutang maternal grandparents to meet their great grandchildren. Bai Yutang previously invited them several times to come to B city, but they refused. Old people’s hearts could be as hard as stone, but when they saw cute children, their hearts suddenly turned to be as soft as butter.

Even though they still ignore Jian Kang Lu, they quickly attach themselves to these two children. Sometimes, they even forgot they were supposed not to talk to Jian Kang Lu. Their tongues slipped, asking Jian Kang Lu several questions regarding their great grandchildren.

It’s hard for the guests not to stare at these phenomenal couples. Even without the luxurious clothes, Jian Kang Lu’s face himself is standing out from the crowd. Just like placing a beautiful blooming white lily among wilted grass.

Moreover, he held two cute children. The little girl whose face is exceptionally pretty, wearing an equally pretty dress. This little girl even looks better than the child star they saw on television.

Even though the wedding was cheap and small, Jian Kang Lu gifted Bai Yuren to choose her wedding dress, He Zheng’s wedding suit, Lu Hua’s dress, and He Zheng’s uncle’s family in a luxurious designer boutique in W city.

Jian Kang Lu told Bai Yuren they will also order suits for themselves, and clothes for their children, so the main family will have uniform dress and suits.

“Let me handle the bill with the store. Take it as my wedding gift to you.” Jian Kang Lu said.

He Zheng chose his uncle as replacement for his deceased parents. When Bai Yuren goes there to meet the designer herself, He Zheng’s aunt is really worried this will drain this soon to be married couple’s savings.

“Why don’t we rent the dress and suits? It’s cheaper.” She whispered to Bai Yuren. She didn’t know how much these clothes would be, but she was 1000% sure it was expensive as hell.

“Don’t worry, this will be paid by my brother in law. No need to feel bad, auntie. He has a lot of money and my brother stupidly doesn’t want to spend his money.” Bai Yuren waved her hands while happily choosing the material for her wedding dress.

The happiest of course was the designer himself. He didn’t know from which family this girl came from. He knows a lot of big families in W city, yet he never heard of the Bai and He family. It doesn’t matter though, the important thing is they order a set of wedding clothes for the couple and their family.

Bai Yuren told the designer that she wanted the dress and suits for her family also acceptable to wear on other party occasions. It means the design needs to be luxurious yet humble.

He Zheng’s aunt already met Jian Kang Lu when their family met each other for proposal. She still felt uneasy that Jian Kang Lu paid for her expensive dress, but her husband then told her to accept it. Their family would give sets of jewellery for Bai Yuren’s betrothal gifts. Looking at these material and expensive boutique, He Zheng’s aunt felt their set of jewellery definitely look shabby compared to these beautiful dresses.

The beautiful dress she wore today invites several questions from her husband’s relatives who come to the wedding. They ask, “Jiejie, this dress is really beautiful. Is it rented or bought? Where did you get it?”

Once she mentioned the boutique name, some of them gasped while some were clueless. The ones that gasped are from the younger generation who read a lot of fashion blogs and magazines.

“Jiejie, is it really from there? Ready made or custom order? How much?”

He Zheng’s aunt truly didn’t know how much this dress cost. Even Jian Kang Lu also doesn’t know. The designer gave the bill for the whole order.

Jian Ying Yue especially liked her dress. It was having a traditional hanfu style on top with a fluffy skirt made from soft tulle below. It was the same design for her and He Zheng’s 15 year old cousin.

Light transparent pink on top, with flower embroidery on chest and sleeve. The skirt was light on the waist and gradually revealed the soft pink rose on the bottom, with thousands of little stars sparkling softly beneath the tulle layer.

Jian Ying Yue at first behaved since Bai Yutang told her no princess had ever been seen running wild in public. This makes Lin Caihong, who attends the wedding repeatedly caress her hair, braid and styled like a little princess. Lin Caihong didn’t pinch her cheek because she knew her son didn’t like people to pinch his children’s chubby cheeks.

Unfortunately this decent behaviour of Jian Ying Yue only lasted for thirty minutes. Once she saw children her age running and playing with each other, she couldn’t hold herself and finally ask her papa with tearful eyes, “Papa.. Can I play with them?”

Even at two and half years old, Jian Ying Yue knows that if she asks her daddy, he will say no. If she wanted to play, it was better to ask her papa.

Jian Kang Lu looked at the corner where the children play, and he nodded. “Okay. Be careful and don’t fight with others.”

Once his daughter bolted like an arrow released from the bow, Jian Kang Lu glanced at Jian Ying Yue’s nanny who he brought on this occasion. The nanny didn’t need to be told, she already stood up and followed Jian Ying Yue.

Jian Kang Lu looked at his son, “Ah Ting don’t want to play with your sister and her new friends?”

Bai Jingting shook his head, and pestered his daddy again. Bai Jingting likes to play, but he often gets bored playing with children his age. He prefers to play with older boys like Jian Ming or Sun Linhong, Sun Hongjia’s son.

Looking at the cute little boy who keeps asking bizarre questions to his father fascinates He Zheng’s little brother who is studying cyber science and engineering in W university.

As the only main family left for He Zheng, He Zheng’s brother sat together with Bai Yutang, Jian Kang Lu, Lin Caihong, and Jian Shen. This round table could fit ten people.

Right now he heard once again this little boy asking his flustered daddy.

“Daddy, where did that water come from?” He pointed at the small fountain. “Why does the water keep running, daddy? I want to look at it closer, daddy.”

Actually, his papa could answer Bai Jingting’s question better if they were at their own home. But if they were outside, his papa would urge him to play together with his sister.

Jian Kang Lu took Bai Jingting’s hand, “Your daddy is busy. Why don’t you go with me?”

Bai Jingting shook his head again, “I want to go with daddy.” His eyes are watery, look so pitiful.

He Zheng’s brother noticed that this little boy is really sharp. He also knows Bai Yutang needs to entertain the guests. He then volunteers himself. “How about big brother? Do you want to go with big brother to look at the fountain?”

Bai Jingting looked at the man, then looked at his papa. Once he saw his papa nod, he accepted that big hand and walked together to the fountain.

He Zheng’s brother actually didn’t go well with children. What Bai Jingting asked, he answered truly according to his knowledge. What surprised him, Bai Jingting was fascinated with his answers and said, “I like big brother He so much. You didn’t lie to me like my papa.”

From that moment on, Bai Jingting will stick to him like a chewed gum stick on your sole. Asking millions of questions and dragging him everywhere.

At Bai Yuren’s wedding, Lu Hua invites Mr. Han, her husband’s old partner in the construction company Bai Haoran used to own. The last time she saw them was two years ago, on the 5th day after Chinese New Year. Mr. Han used to visit their family every year. But since that day, Mr. Han never comes again.

Mr. Han comes with his wife to Bai Yuren’s wedding. It actually surprised Lu Hua to see them. In these two years, they aged so much. Their body is much thinner, with traces of hard life paint multiple strokes on their face.

Lu Hua can’t talk much with them. It actually surprised her when Mrs. Han called her one week later, wanting to meet her.

Lu Hua remembers how her husband cherish Mr. Han, and he also helped their family a lot when Bai Haoran fainted in the office. Mr. Han was the one who took Bai Haoran to the hospital that day. She receives Mrs. Han’s visit with open arms.

Lu Hua was alone as usual in the house. Bai Yuren and He Zheng at the hospital. The newlyweds only have three days leave for the wedding and already work again.

Lu Hua looking at Mrs. Han’s stiff smile, ached to see her tired face. She looks like an old woman who didn’t sleep for days. Her eyes are a bit red, with puffy eyelids and pale face.

“So, how are you and your husband these days? Is he unwell? I saw both of you getting thinner compared to last time we met?” Lu Hua asked.

“Fine, fine. It’s just getting old. We’re fine.” Mrs. Han’s voice is a bit hoarse.

“What do you want to drink? Hot or cold?”

Mrs. Han waved her hand, “No need, no need. Don’t bother me, jiejie.”

Lu Hua smiled and walked to the kitchen. She came back and served cold SuanMeiTang. “Try this, TangTang made it for us before he went back to B city.”

Mrs. Han just nodded and took a sip. It was really refreshing. After a round of another bunch of small talk, she asked cautiously, “Yutang… I heard he married a rich doctor?”
