"Mom!"
Xia Wanfu, worried about Han Wenjuan, chased after her without regard for anything else.
Jiang Zexi followed suit and left.
After they left, Wen Xuanyuan snorted and grumbled, "This Han Wenjuan, who knows what kind of act she's putting on with ill intentions!"
"Just ignore her,"
Gong Zhijing said calmly.
However, Han Wenjuan was indeed a bit strange today, but it no longer mattered.
She wasn't so magnanimous as to care about her feelings. She had already done what she needed to do, and whatever happened to Han Wenjuan had nothing to do with her.
They should have no regrets or hatred towards each other, and it would be best if they never crossed paths again.
Not long after, Xia Wanfu returned with Jiang Zexi, while Han Wenjuan had left.
Gong Zhijing didn't ask where she went but handed over the company's management to Xia Wanfu.
Xia Wanfu didn't refuse. She understood that she had to accept the Ling family's token of appreciation on behalf of her mother.
This matter was considered settled.
It was an explanation to the outside world and to herself.
The Ling family disliked owing favors, and a profitable company was their repayment!
Under the Ling family's management, the Xia family's company was no longer what it used to be.
Afterward, everyone had lunch at the Ling family's residence.
For the next period, Ling Yucheng and Gong Zhijing were caught up in the intricate busyness of preparing for their wedding.
The wedding venue was set at the largest and most luxurious hotel in the capital.
The entire process was handled by the hotel.
Gong Zhijing's tasks included selecting wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, decorating the rooms, and choosing the venue.
What kind of wedding was her dream wedding? Everything had to be reviewed and chosen by her.
There were two wedding plan options.
The first was to depart from the Gong family, riding in a grand sedan chair to the Ling family.
The only drawback was that it was too cumbersome. Gong Ye was alone and without help, which would be very tiring.
It would also be troublesome for the Ling family. If they got busy, they might neglect the elders.
Therefore, Gong Zhijing decisively chose the second option: holding the wedding at the hotel.
The banquet and guest reception would be handled by the hotel, so no one would be tired. On the wedding day, everyone would just attend.
The wedding would be grand and full of ceremony.
The first task was to choose the wedding venue, and Gong Zhijing was overwhelmed.
There were over a dozen scenes, with Chinese and Western styles, each exquisitely beautiful and dreamlike.
The first one she looked at was blue and white, with the entire venue decorated with blue and white flowers, romantic and beautiful, with warm yellow lights adding a touch of warmth.
The second was red, festive and solemn.
An oval light above formed a "喜" (xi, meaning joy) character, with petal-decorated tassels hanging down, a sea of red flowers extending to the venue, and draped curtains on both sides, very vintage.
Many red lanterns hung above the guest seating on both sides, adding to the festivity.
The third was a dazzling design, with the entire venue filled with baby's breath, layered bead curtains, surrounded by flowers and balloons, with a few blue lights cast arbitrarily, adding the finishing touch.
The main color of the third was golden yellow.
Transparent balloons hung all over the ceiling, and yellow lights covered them with a layer of gold.
A sea of flowers surrounded the venue, with petal-like screen decorations adorned with beautiful patterns.
When all the lights were turned on, it was exceptionally dazzling and magnificent.
There were also venues in light purple, light pink, blue, and so on, each making one feel as if they were in a dream.
After looking at so many, Gong Zhijing was finally drawn to the red scene.
After choosing the venue, she proceeded to select the wedding dress and reception dress.
However, her choice was still the most magnificent phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes.
For the reception dress, she chose a red long gown with no extra embellishments, still dazzling and beautiful!
Since the wedding was held at the hotel, Gong Zhijing would get married in a hotel room.
The room would need to be decorated by herself, or she could choose a pre-decorated one.
There would be wedding games and teasing the newlyweds later.
Gong Zhijing just needed to sit on the bed in her Xiuhua dress and watch the fun.
There were many more tasks, such as choosing wedding candies and favors.
It was a whole lot of busy days.
Everything was ready, the invitations were sent out, and they were just waiting for the wedding day.
However, one matter caused a great headache.
Gong Zhijing didn't have many friends, only Qiao Xinyue and Wen Xuanyuan.
Wen Xuanyuan was pregnant and couldn't be a bridesmaid, as she couldn't be tired.
This left only Qiao Xinyue as the bridesmaid.
Ling Yucheng's groomsmen would definitely be Li Bowen, Jiang Zexi, and others.
In fact, for Gong Zhijing, one bridesmaid was enough, but Qiao Xinyue alone would be too lonely.
Just as she was struggling with what to do, Ling Yucheng arranged everything for her.
Since Wen Xuanyuan couldn't be a bridesmaid, Li Bowen wouldn't be a groomsman.
The final groomsmen were: Jiang Zexi, Situ Jun, Wen Yan.
The bridesmaids were: Xia Wanfu, Su Yinwan, Qiao Xinyue.
In any case, they were all paired up, which was a good omen.
No one would refuse such a happy occasion.
The love was made public, and so was the happy news. Although the wedding details were not to be shared, Ling Yucheng still announced the happy news online.
The buzz it generated immediately overshadowed the previous incident of Mrs. Ling's disappearance.
The wedding was a normal wedding, like that of ordinary people, but this was what Gong Zhijing wanted.
Ordinary, warm, full of ceremony and importance.
In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.
Gong Zhijing was rushed out of bed early in the morning, groggy, and arrived at the hotel with Ling Yucheng.
What followed was a complex and arduous process of makeup and changing clothes.
After several hours, she was finally dressed.
In the festively decorated and sweet room, she sat on the bed wearing a red Xiuhua dress, her skirt spread out, with beautiful patterns forming a circle, surrounding her.
Three bridesmaids stood on either side of her, wearing simple bridesmaid dresses, but their outstanding beauty was still evident.
Wen Xuanyuan sat alone on the sofa, watching Gong Zhijing and quietly wiping away tears. For some reason, she felt a pang of sadness, happy and sad at the same time.
This was her best friend, who was about to get married, and she couldn't even be a bridesmaid.
The photographer, holding a camera, captured Wen Xuanyuan's tears and took many beautiful photos.
Around eight in the morning.
The door of the room was closed, and soon the sound of noisy footsteps was heard from outside, indicating that the groom had arrived to pick up the bride.
Everyone in the room suddenly became nervous. First, they hid Gong Zhijing's shoes under Wen Xuanyuan's skirt.
