Fortunately, my yard is big enough. I wonder how much money Su Anrong spent on this villa.
My parents actually took out a hundred thousand yuan to prepare for this wedding. Sometimes, I really admire their efficiency. They decided to hold the wedding last night, and today it’s actually happening.
In fact, they didn’t sleep at all last night, busy setting up the house. But today, they still look energetic, both of them wearing smiles filled with happiness. It feels like they are the ones getting married.
Su Anrong disappeared early in the morning. According to Rice, he went to change clothes; after all, I can’t be the only one in wedding attire. Su Anrong not wearing it would be odd.
Suddenly, laughter came from outside, and then two people squeezed into my room—no, three.
Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan sat beside me, excitedly saying, “Wheat, you’re so fast! Just a couple of days ago you didn’t mention anything. Today you’re actually having a wedding!”
Zhang Mengdi had no place to sit and could only stand in front of me, her face beaming as she said, “Youmai Vegetable, I didn’t expect you to look so good in traditional attire; it’s much better than modern clothes.”
“Of course I look good; it’s just natural beauty,” I huffed. However, I was quite surprised that Zhang Mengdi came today. I never thought of her as a friend—wait, she wouldn’t be here to cause trouble, would she? That would be great.
“Exactly. Zhang Mengdi, you better behave today and not say anything out of line. If you ruin Wheat’s wedding, I won’t let you off easily,” Gao Lele pointed at Zhang Mengdi.
I quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute, Lele! I’m really thirsty right now. Can you get me a glass of water? Make sure it’s warm!”
“Sure.” Gao Lele got up without hesitation to get me some water.
“By the way, Xiaonan, I think I left a pair of shoes on the lawn and forgot to take them. It wouldn’t look good if guests see them later; can you help me grab them?”
And just like that, I successfully sent Fang Xiaonan away too.
Zhang Mengdi immediately sat down beside me, eagerly asking, "Wheat, what do you need me to do?"
I beckoned her closer and whispered in her ear, "Zhang Mengdi, are you unhappy that I'm getting married?"
Zhang Mengdi looked at me in confusion, pondering for a moment before replying, "I'm quite happy, why would I be unhappy?"
Ashi Ba, this isn't right. Shouldn't she be feeling envy and jealousy? How am I supposed to respond to that?
"Wheat, do you have something on your mind?"
Not bad, she's perceptive.
I quickly pretended to be nonchalant and smiled. "You're overthinking it. What could I possibly have on my mind? I just want to test Su Anrong and see if he truly loves me." I was impressed with myself for coming up with such an excuse.
Zhang Mengdi perked up. "I can help with that. How do you want me to assist you?"
I motioned for her to lean in closer. "Just find a way to disrupt the wedding. Then we'll see how Su Anrong reacts; that will tell us if his love for me is genuine."
"Okay."
As soon as Zhang Mengdi finished speaking, Gao Lele came over with a glass of water. "Wheat, here you go. Take your time drinking."
Fang Xiaonan returned as well, looking puzzled. "Wheat, I didn't see your shoes."
"Oh, I might have remembered wrong." I made a subtle gesture to Zhang Mengdi, and she winked at me before leaving my room.
"Wheat, what did Zhang Mengdi say to you? She looks so sneaky; it can't be anything good. Don't let her fool you," Gao Lele said while brushing my bangs away from my forehead.
I quickly replied with a smile, "She didn't say anything. She just came to congratulate me on my wedding since she contributed to the gift. I couldn't just kick her out, could I?"
"True, let's not hold it against her for the sake of the money."
More and more people arrived, and many came over to take a look at me, offering compliments before heading off to the courtyard.
"Old You is still quite young; how is she getting married so soon?"
"I think she's not even twenty yet. I heard she’s already having a baby, marrying because of it. Isn’t that all the rage now?" Two women I didn’t know were chatting loudly while munching on sunflower seeds, their voices clear enough for me to hear.
But I couldn’t be bothered with them; there were worse things being said.
I overheard a woman who looked to be in her twenties say, "These young girls nowadays are getting married so young. I wonder what tricks she used to snag such a good man who even bought her a villa."
Another chimed in, "I heard the groom is an internet celebrity. They probably met online. Do these internet stars really make that much money? They can afford villas while we’re still renting."
"An internet celebrity? What’s his name? Let’s see what he looks like. I hope he’s not one of those ugly ones who just sell their flaws online; I've heard there are plenty of those now."
"I don’t know his name. He claims to be handsome, but he’s only posted a few pictures. Those pictures do look good, but who knows how many times they've been edited?"
Hey, hey, hey! Could those two gossiping at the door stand a little further away? You're ruining my fresh air!
Gao Lele had been holding back her anger throughout my wedding to avoid causing a scene. But when one woman said, "We don't even know if the child is really the groom's," she finally snapped and stood up abruptly.
Before he could make a move, he heard a woman exclaim, "Oh my, oh my, it's so itchy!"
Another voice joined in, "Ouch, ouch! I'm itchy too! What’s going on? I took a shower before heading out!"
Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan rushed outside to see what was happening, then returned laughing heartily. "Hahaha, Wheat, karma has struck! Those two shameless women ran off covering their lower bodies!"
Fang Xiaonan chuckled, "I knew the heavens were watching! How dare they speak about us like that, they really don’t want to live!"
I noticed Rice peeking his head through the door and giving me a thumbs-up gesture, which meant he was helping me. Gao Lele followed my gaze and pulled Rice inside. "You little rascal, what are you eavesdropping for?"
Rice protested loudly, "I wasn’t eavesdropping! Let me go!"
"Wheat, are you ready? The guests have all arrived; the ceremony is about to begin!" Mom entered from outside. "Since there are no family members from Rongrong's side, we’ll have to simplify things a bit. Lele, Xiaonan, since you’re Wheat’s friends, please take care of him."
Mom's sudden politeness caught me off guard.
"Don't worry, Auntie, we’ll take care of everything."
"Wheat, there's something I’m not sure if I should say," Mom hesitated.
"If you’re unsure, then don’t say it! Haha," I joked.
Mom shot me a glare. "You’re already married and still not serious." She cleared her throat and continued, "Actually, I wanted to say that everything is ready; we just need the final piece."
"What final piece?"
"Rongrong is missing."
"Mom, are you sure you're not joking?"
"How could I joke about something like this? He was here this morning, looking so handsome in his wedding attire. But after I got busy, I couldn't find him again. When I asked others, they said they hadn't seen him either."
"Hahaha, really? That's great! I don't have to get married anymore!" I was so happy that I wanted to stand up, but the weight of my headpiece made me sit back down.
The room fell silent. Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan looked at me in disbelief, while my mom's eyes nearly popped out of her head. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's this time, and your husband is missing, and you're still so happy?"
"Mom, I told you yesterday that I didn't want to have this wedding. You insisted on pushing me into it. Now look, you've scared Garlic Paste away! Hahaha!" Zhang Mengdi, you really did a great job ruining my wedding.
"Wheat, are you crazy?" Fang Xiaonan asked me seriously, not joking at all.
"You’re the one who's crazy." I shot her a glare.
My mom's face turned pale with anger. She was probably still thinking about how to help me find Garlic Paste. Dream on, hmph.
"Lele, Xiaonan, keep an eye on Wheat for me. Don't let her run away. If she does, I'll break her legs—no, I'll break all three of your legs!"
Mom, is it really necessary to threaten my friends like that?
After my mom left, Fang Xiaonan turned away from me in anger, and Gao Lele sighed and stopped talking to me.
"Mommy, why aren't you crying?" Rice climbed onto my lap and looked at me with bright eyes that seemed ready to tear up.
"Why should I cry?" Record of the Crazy Memories.
"Daddy is missing, and you're not crying, but I really want to cry, wah wah wah," Rice said, and before long, he truly burst into tears.
I was taken aback, realizing that my earlier behavior might have gone too far and hurt Rice. To be honest, perhaps it was Su Anrong's thick skin that led me to subconsciously think that hurting him wasn't a big deal. But when Rice reacted this way, it made me feel genuinely sad.
I felt a pang of regret.
I quickly hugged him and wiped his tears. "Rice, I'm sorry. Please don't cry. Mommy didn't mean it. How about we call Daddy now?" Fang Xiaonan hurriedly handed me my phone.
However, after dialing Su Anrong's number, a cold voice came through the line saying, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off."
He actually turned off his phone; it seems he is intentionally making himself unavailable.
As I pondered how to comfort Rice, my mother's voice came from outside the door. "Master, Wheat is inside. Could you please go check on him? It's been over ten years; I thought I would never see you again. I can't believe you came today on such a special occasion; it's truly a blessing."
What master?
