Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nan had experienced occasions, both locally and overseas, with constant flickers and flashes of lights from countless cameras and video equipment within ten meters from her, which were capable of making one’s eyes uncomfortable. Qiao Nan had managed such major occasions steadily. Now, she was just attending a small wedding banquet and dragged onto the stage to deliver an impromptu speech. Could this be difficult for Qiao Nan?
What a joke!
Qiao Nan took over the microphone from the emcee in an unexpectedly calm manner. “In my view, be it men or women, marriage represents the beginning of a second life. No matter how one’s previous life was, the most important thing now is to grab hold of their second life and let it make up for the regrets and shortcomings of their first life. I sincerely hope that the bridegroom and bride can rationally manage their approaching second life with more mature foresight and mentality and live wonderfully, happily, peacefully, and healthily for the rest of their lives.”
Initially, some people could not really come back from their senses after listening to such a congratulatory speech.
It was only until when Qiao Nan returned to her seat that some people were struck by the logic of Qiao Nan’s words as they reminisced. When one was in the maternal family, she was a daughter. After she was married, she would become someone’s wife. Of course, she could not continue with her old ways of living in the maternal family when she was with the in-law family. She had to adapt to a new way of life.
This applied to both the bride and bridegroom.
Not everyone could understand the profound part of the speech, but most people could understand the simple part. The bride’s biological sister said that she hoped that the bridegroom and bride could lead a good life after marriage. There was no doubt about this point.
At that moment, loud and thunderous claps for Qiao Nan could be heard again.
Others could not understand these words, but not Qiao Zijin. Qiao Zijin’s expression turned pale for a while. Fortunately, she had applied blusher on her face. Otherwise, she would not be able to hide her pale face under the focus of everyone’s attention.
Qiao Zijin’s hands grasped the bouquet of flowers in her hands. This was the most beautiful moment of her life, yet Qiao Nan had to say such words of warning and sarcasm to her. Qiao Nan was truly a heartless and cruel b.i.t.c.h!
She did not watch Qiao Nan make a fool out of herself. Instead, she was slapped in the face a few times calmly by Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin had lost her interest in this wedding. If it was possible, she did not even wish to continue with it. Anyway, she and Zhou Zheng had already collected the wedding certificate. Was she not Zhou Zheng’s wife if they did not hold the wedding banquet?
After they went through the wedding process, the final step was for the newlyweds to give a toast to the guests today.
Qiao Nan, who had taken her fill, wiped her mouth and informed her neighbors. “My mother-in-law is taking care of the three children alone at home now. I’m a little worried and will make a move first. If there is a chance in the future, I will come and visit aunties and uncles again.”
“Aye, okay. Nan Nan, take your time.”
“Yes, pay attention to safety on the way home.”
After greeting the neighbors, she also notified Qiao Dongliang so that the latter could pa.s.s the message to Qiao Zijin. After thinking, Qiao Dongliang said, “Wait a while. I will inform the in-laws that I am leaving with you. I miss the triplets too. Yesterday, I had so much fun with them. Perhaps the three of them are thinking about me, their maternal grandpa.”
From the beginning to the end, Qiao Dongliang was only an ornament.
During the short walk of the bride’s first march in, Qiao Dongliang was dragged to become part of the ‘crew’. After he pa.s.sed Qiao Zijin’s hand to Zhou Zheng, it was ‘mission accomplished’.
