Although she said that, she still lowered her head and sobbed.
Si Jingyu looked at her and felt rather helpless.
It took a great deal of pain to make a strong person like her break down to tears in front of others.
As Si Jingyu was fretting over this, Li Shu lifted her head and said, “Jingyu, did you know that Mo Hai had one wish before he died?”
Surprised, Si Jingyu asked, “What’s that?”
“He hoped that Mo Xicheng could get married and have children as soon as possible. This was because he wanted to make up for what he thought he owed the boy after all these years. Hence, our family has decided not to follow the traditional three-year mourning period.”
The moment she said this, and even before Si Jingyu could speak, Shi Jinyan was infuriated. “Nonsense!” he said. “Mo Xicheng is going to be part of the elite circle for the rest of his life. His background in itself already motivates criticism. By not having him observe filial piety now, aren’t you just setting him up to be a joke in society?”
Li Shu was stumped by his words.
She continued crying and said, “But what can I do? Mo Hai wanted him to get married as soon as possible, and I hope to fulfill his last wish. Now, unless they get married within seven days, we’ll have to wait three years. But in seven days, there is barely any time. How could I possibly organize the whole wedding? It would be unfair to Nianyao and I would feel bad about it! As it is, our Mo Xicheng is marrying someone of a higher social status, and now…”
She buried her face in her hands and cried again.
Shi Jinyan immediately said, “Stop speaking nonsense. How could organizing a wedding be a problem if our two families combine forces?! We’ll hold a wedding within seven days! Let’s get going now and prepare the wedding. If there are any problems, just let us know. We can fix anything!”
Upon hearing these words, the crying Li Shu immediately got on her feet.
She quickly regained her composure and said, “Brother Shi, let’s do it. We don’t need help for anything. The Mo family will make this wedding a successful and grand event. We’ll make sure that it’s presentable! Don’t you worry, we will do Nianyao justice.”
Having said this, she turned to Si Jingyu and said, “Jingyu, I’ll go now then, if there’s nothing else. Oh, I’ve arranged for Nianyao and Mo Xicheng to take their wedding photos this afternoon. Time is a little tight, so we’ll take some photos to use at the wedding. Later on, we can take more during their honeymoon and make up for it. As for the hotel venue, we may need your help, because all the big hotels in Beijing are booked half a year in advance, so it may get a little troublesome. However, I’ve heard that there is a venue in the Royal Family Hotel that caters to emergency events. If you could help me contact Xiao Munan and ask him to set aside that venue for me. Also…”
Li Shu went on and on and, finally, she went back to being the devastated damsel that she had been when she arrived. “Jingyu, Brother Shi, don’t worry, after marrying Mo Xicheng, Nianyao will still lead the life of a little princess. I will make sure that she doesn’t suffer the slightest inconvenience!”
Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan would both be very stupid if by now they hadn’t figured out that they had been tricked.
They exchanged a look and were about to speak when Li Shu suddenly took a deep bow towards them.
This was a gesture of great respect and the two of them were stunned.
They looked at Li Shu as the woman sighed and said…
