family circle of friends

Chapter 184 Qingmo
The night was as cool as water, and the sky was full of stars.

The room had already been cleaned up, Yuxuan opened the suitcase, divided the gift into two, and asked someone to send it out.

He took a shower, changed his clothes, and led Luoluo towards the courtyard where Shang Mengshu lived.

This is a separate small courtyard, servants come in and out, carrying things.

Walking into the living room, Shen Jiao was there, she looked surprised: "Why is Yuxuan here?"

"Auntie, I'm here to find my cousin, where is she?"

"We're trying on clothes upstairs!"

Shen Jiao is Shang Zhijian's remarried wife, who gave birth to a son Shang Yuqing. She had sharp eyes and saw the red sandalwood box in Luoluo's arms for the first time. She wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't ask.

"Then you are busy, I will go find her!"

Yuxuan avoided the furniture in the room, walked up the stairs, and came to the bedroom.

He knocked on the door: "Cousin, I'm Yuxuan!"

"Oh, wait a minute!"

It was quiet inside for a while, then the door opened, and Shang Mengshu came out wearing a white wedding dress.

"My cousin is so beautiful!" Yuxuan said with a smile.

Shang Mengshu looked a little embarrassed, she let him in sideways, and asked, "Is there something wrong at this late hour?"

"Tomorrow is your big day. Grandpa can't come in person, so he sent some things to add makeup to you!"

Yuxuan beckoned, Luoluo stepped forward and handed her the mahogany box, Shang Mengshu took it in surprise.

"What is this?" He started with a heavy hand.

"You'll know when you open it!" Yuxuan laughed.

Shang Mengshu put the wooden box on the table, opened the copper clasp, and found that it was full of jewelry.

The thumb-sized pearl necklace, the purple diamond jewelry, the emerald green jade bracelet...everything is priceless!
"This……"

Shang Mengshu was at a loss, Yuxuan closed the lid and said, "Cousin accepts it with peace of mind, it's Grandpa's wish!"

Shang Mengshu's eyes were reddish.

She did not marry a rich family this time, but an ordinary person, at best from a wealthy family.The two are college classmates, have always been in touch, and slowly come together.

This is obviously not in line with his father's wishes. Shang Zhijian has been firmly opposed to it, and even locked her up and confiscated her mobile phone and computer.

It wasn't until she escaped and begged her grandfather crying, and Shang Chengdong spoke, that Shang Zhijian gritted his teeth and agreed.

But he obviously wouldn't give his daughter any good looks. He didn't have a dowry, and he didn't care about it at all. Everything about the wedding was arranged by his second uncle and aunt.

Shang Mengshu didn't care about money, she just felt chilled!
For Shang Zhijian, she no longer has any hope, but fortunately, there are other relatives she can rely on.

She wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you uncle for me!"

"Ok!"

The things were delivered, Yuxuan couldn't stay longer, so she asked Shang Mengshu to stop, turned around and went downstairs.

……

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the manor became lively.

The servants were busy back and forth, the large lawn was covered with a red carpet, the tables and chairs were arranged neatly, and the roads were filled with flowers.

Yuxuan changed into a brand new dress, and was dragged by Yuhong and Yuguang brothers to stand at the gate to welcome the guests.

The groom also came. Xu Wenshuo, an associate professor at the Department of Political Science and Law at the University of Lyon, wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses, looking refined.

He was wearing a blue suit, standing next to the well-dressed Shang Mengshu, he looked perfect!

The guests came one after another to send blessings to the couple, and the band played melodious tunes, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

The wedding started on time. The bride and groom walked on the red carpet. Under the blessing of the priest, the two exchanged rings, and everyone stood up and applauded.

From the beginning to the end, Shang Zhijian, as the father, did not appear, so Shang Zhicheng had to participate on his behalf.

Afterwards, the banquet started, because there were so many guests, it was divided into two places, and Shang Zhicheng and Shang Zhijian entertained them respectively.

By this time, Yuxuan had nothing else to do. Seeing the bridesmaids and best men gathering around to grab the bouquet, he couldn't help but smile.

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out one in his mouth, and just touched the lighter when he heard a voice behind him: "Do you often smoke?"

Yuxuan turned her head to look, and found that it was a girl in her 20s. She was wearing a white gauze dress, her long hair was loose, her temples were braided, and she had a bright smile.

"Uh, occasionally!"

Yuxuan recognized him as one of her cousin's bridesmaids, but couldn't name him.

"It's better to smoke less, it's not good for your health!" She said.

Yuxuan thought for a while, put the cigarette back: "You're right!"

The girl pursed her lips and smiled playfully: "My name is Ye Qingmo, Mr. Shang, hello!"

"You know me?" Yu Xuan was surprised.

"Of course, Mr. Shang is very famous in China. Even in France, there are often news reports saying that you are a business genius!"

"Thank you!" Yuxuan smiled humbly.

Ye Qingmo tilted her head to look at him, her eyes were bright and penetrating, she suddenly asked: "You really don't remember me?"

"Uh, have we met before?"

"That's it!"

Qingmo waved her hand and skipped it directly.

After chatting, Yuxuan found out that she is of French Chinese descent. Like the Shang family branch, her grandparents migrated to France and then settled down.

It's just that unlike the Shang family's business, the Ye family chose to be in politics, from the highest Zengguan to the political officer, and was granted the title of Viscount.

After a hundred years of development, the Ye family has now been successfully promoted to the French aristocracy and has great influence within the government.

Ye Qingmo, as the apple of the eye of the Ye family, has been loved and loved since she was a child. With her innocent personality, she was tricked out of the family by Yuxuan's few words.

"I'm an art student, and I'm studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. When I have time, I'll paint a portrait for Mr. Shang!" She gestured with her hands.

Yuxuan smiled and said, "Then I will thank Miss Ye first!"

As they were talking, there was sudden chaos at the banquet, and shouts could be heard from a long distance away.

"My daughter is married, and I don't even have the right to speak, so why should I raise her?"

"In the presidential election, everyone is leaning towards Shang Zhicheng, how can I not compare to him?"

"Break up... I want to split up!"

Yuxuan frowned, hearing the voice, it seemed to be his uncle Shang Zhijian.

The shouting disappeared quickly, and Yuhong ran out to appease the guests, with an embarrassed look on his face.

Yu Xuan pulled him aside and asked, "What's going on?"

"Uncle was drunk and said a bunch of crazy things, and now he is being dragged away by my dad!"

"Where's uncle?"

"Grandpa was so angry that he almost passed out, and he has already called the doctor!"

"I gonna go see!"

Yuxuan walked quickly towards the backyard, Qingmo thought for a while and followed.

The hall was full of people, and the family doctor was checking Shang Chengdong. Next to him, Shang Zhicheng looked angry, and Shang Mengshu blamed himself and felt wronged, crying with red eyes.

"Uncle!"

Yu Xuan walked over quickly, squatted beside him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's an old problem!" Shang Chengdong's face was pale.

Qingmo looked at everyone, the Ye family and the Shang family were family friends, and no one regarded her as an outsider.

She walked up to Shang Mengshu and whispered comfort.

Yuxuan looked at the doctor: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Shang Lao was just emotional for a while, and there is nothing serious, just take a rest!" The doctor replied.

Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Shang Zhicheng: "Isn't uncle entertaining guests? How could he be drunk?"
