Chapter 284 - KILL THE BRIDE (1/2)

Hu Lei never pictured herself having a large wedding or any wedding at all. She did not have family, except for her father. Moreover, before she met Zhong Feng, she had ȧssumed that she would get a good house and spend her days relaxing, writing and watching dramas.

Now, she had a rich life full of annoying things. ​​

Even on her wedding day, she could not have a moment of peace.

”Xiao Lei, are you sure that you will not invite your mother?” Aunt Mei asked as she admired the dressed up Hu Lei.

”I am sure, Aunt Mei. She is living her life, and I am living mine. And that's alright.” Hu Lei smiled.

”How do you feel? Is it ok for me to be here?” Beatrice looked nervous.

”Don't you want to support me on this super important day?” Hu Lei asked with an innocent look, making Beatrice feel guilty.

”Fine, fine.”

”You know that you are breaking traditions by coming from your matrimonial home during the wedding.” Aunt Mei started fussing again.

”Don't worry. This is not going to be our home.” Hu Lei answered with a smile.

”Where will you be staying?” Aunt Mei asked with interest.

”That's a secret.” Hu Lei laughed.

What a joke! If she told her about Azure Woods, everyone would know about it in a few hours. She would not even enjoy a little peace with Zhong Feng before people began showing up.

Already, planning the wedding after the incident had been an ordeal. As expected, Aunt Mei and Chu Ling got along, but their visions for the weddings were too much. If she had not protested, she would probably have been on an island somewhere.

Also, cousins from the Huo family kept appearing before her for coffee and tea and fun.

And she could not bear to mention Elder Zhong and her grandfather…

They could argue about anything. The previous day they had asked the butler to count the hairs on their head to see who was balder than the other.

If she did not get away from the drama for a while, she might need to kidnap Zhong Feng. They could run away and live on the road.

And speaking of kidnapping…

There was a strange but familiar whiff of incense, and her eyes narrowed a little.

”You should sit down.” She turned to Aunt Mei and Beatrice with a smile.

”What?” Beatrice asked.

Hu Lei pushed the two of them onto the seats in the converted bedroom, which was now a large dressing room.

Before the two women could question her, their eyes drooped and closed.
