Huo Wenqing, however, wasn’t as vivacious as Fang Shuxin. Seeing her interacting with Yun Zijin, he turned to greet Lu Yunque.
’I have to dote on my future granddaughter-in-law, but I can’t neglect my grandson, can I?’
"Oh my, look at you, Little Sparrow, standing here to greet guests. But look at your shoes! You can’t keep standing in them like this."
Fang Shuxin glanced at Yun Zijin’s high heels. If she had to stand here greeting guests the whole time, she wouldn’t realize how much it’d hurt until she took her shoes off at the end of the event.
"They’re fine. The shoes were custom-made to my measurements, so they aren’t uncomfortable."
Yun Zijin rarely wore high heels, but on occasions like today that required a formal gown, they were a must.
For her feet’s sake, Yun Zijin had since started having them custom-made.
Of course, Mei Lin was the one who handled that task; all Yun Zijin had to do was wait to wear them.
"Still, it’s so tiring to stand. Let’s get a stool for Little Sparrow so she can sit and rest when there are no guests."
The more Fang Shuxin thought about it, the more perfect her idea seemed. She turned and started ordering Lu Yunque around. "What are you standing there for? If Zijin gets tired, I’m holding you responsible!"
The old woman put on a stern face, her expression changing faster than one could flip a page.
Yun Zijin covered her mouth, trying to stifle a laugh.
Lu Yunque shot Yun Zijin an aggrieved glance, but he agreed with his grandmother. It was a good idea. Standing for so long in high heels would definitely be tiring for Yun Zijin.
"I’ll go take a look."
Mei Lin had prepared the venue, after all, so Lu Yunque didn’t know where anything was kept and had to look for it himself.
The chairs for the guests inside wouldn’t do. He needed to find a higher chair so that when Yun Zijin sat, her gown would keep its perfect shape as much as possible.
’Beauty always comes at a price.’
"That’s not necessary. Most of the guests are already here, and this part will be over soon."
Yun Zijin didn’t feel particularly tired from just standing here to greet guests. ’The ones who must be truly exhausted are the servers, walking around the entire venue in uniforms and high heels.’
"Grandma Landlady, you and Grandpa Huo should head inside. More people are arriving."
Yun Zijin could already see several cars pulling up outside.
’Several groups of people arriving at once. I can already imagine the awkward social pile-up.’
"Alright, alright. Well, you need to be careful not to tire yourself out. If you run into anyone you don’t like, just let him handle it!"
’The old woman knew Lu Yunque’s reputation in Dijing circles. Waving his name like a banner would certainly be more effective than dealing with it herself.’
"I know. I won’t hesitate."
Having spent so much time with Lu Yunque now, Yun Zijin no longer felt the initial distance between them.
If dropping Lu Yunque’s name could solve a problem, Yun Zijin would do it in a heartbeat.
’Could you guys maybe lower your voices a little when you talk about using me? It’s kind of embarrassing,’ Lu Yunque thought.
But the old woman and the young girl clearly didn’t notice Lu Yunque’s aggrieved expression. They shared a knowing look, and Fang Shuxin pulled Huo Wenqing inside.
As long as she was sure Yun Zijin wouldn’t be taken advantage of, Fang Shuxin wasn’t concerned with anything else.
After the pair went inside the hall, a new wave of guests arrived for Yun Zijin to welcome.
As the occupants of the cars parked outside began to get out, Lu Yunque took Yun Zijin’s hand.
Four people walked in from outside, wreathed in smiles. When they saw the young couple holding hands, their smiles grew so wide they seemed to add new wrinkles to their faces.
"Zijin, long time no see."
"Grandpa Lu, Grandma Xu, Uncle, Auntie, long time no see!"
When she had drafted the guest list, Yun Zijin had sent an invitation to the Lu Family on a whim, never expecting all of them to actually show up.
