Chapter 13: Are Marriages in Wealthy Families So Casual?

The more Su Mei looked at her daughter, the more she felt she was beautiful.

Feeling good about herself, Su Mei couldn’t help but start imagining her daughter winning over Qin Zhuoran and having two chubby babies.

Then she would be the mother-in-law of the Qin family heir and the grandmother of the next heir…

Su Mei smiled more as she thought about it.

Meng Yitong knew exactly what her mother was thinking when she saw her expression.

Sigh! No wonder the original owner and Meng Yuanliang turned out the way they did, both good-looking but simple-minded with straightforward personalities. Neither of her parents could be considered smart.

Meng Yuanliang was relatively reserved, so he didn’t speak much and didn’t expose his faults easily.

Su Mei, on the other hand, kept talking non-stop, and with her blunt facial expressions, Meng Yitong quickly figured out what kind of person she was after just a few days.

Fortunately, it was this kind of personality that allowed Meng Yitong to understand the original owner’s situation so quickly.

With the development of social media, by the time she was discharged from the hospital in a month, Meng Yitong was confident that no one would notice anything unusual.

However, the wedding was only about ten days away, and the Meng family still hadn’t made any preparations.

And it seemed like there were no plans to change the wedding date.

Meng Yitong frowned. Was there even going to be a wedding? Were they just going to move in with her bags?

Are wealthy families really this casual?

That shouldn’t be the case.

In Meng Yitong’s memory, wealthy families were very concerned about face.

Especially for family alliances like this one, a wedding was not just a ceremony but a way for the two families to announce their collaboration.

In such a situation, shouldn’t the wedding be a big deal?

But how could there be no movement at all until now?

Soon after, Su Mei, who had gone out to inquire, returned.

When Meng Yitong saw her angry expression, she knew something was wrong.

“This Qin family is too much. Even if they’re a prominent family, they shouldn’t be this arrogant! They never even came to our house before the wedding, and now there’s no wedding! How could they marry like this? This is so disrespectful!” Su Mei said angrily.

“Your second uncle and second aunt too! Even if you’re not their daughter, you’re still a member of the Meng family! How could they let us be humiliated like this?” Su Mei was absolutely furious.

This marriage was originally meant to be a substitute for her. The wedding was urgent, but that was still understandable. However, there wasn’t even a basic wedding.

This made Meng Mama begin to doubt whether her choice was right or wrong.

After hearing Su Mei’s words, Meng Yitong felt quite frustrated for a moment.

But when she thought of Qin Zhuoran’s disfigured face and his rare appearances, Meng Yitong also understood that the Qin family didn’t want to hold a wedding.

When Meng Yitong was in university, she had worked part-time as a ceremonial assistant and bridesmaid. She had to admit that behind a grand wedding, the ones who were most exhausted were the groom and bride.

Without a foundation of love, there was indeed no need to endure that hardship.

Meng Yitong also thought about her current identity—she was still a student—and a lavish wedding wouldn’t benefit her much.

Moreover, since there was a chance that she and Qin Zhuoran might get divorced in the future, making a big fuss about the wedding would only lead to more people making fun of her when they eventually divorced.

It would be better to get married quietly now, and if no one knew about her married status, then even if they divorced in the future, it wouldn’t have much of an impact on her.

After thinking this through, Meng Yitong hurriedly reassured her mother.

“Mom, it’s okay! No wedding is actually better. I don’t want people to know that I got married so early!”

Meng Yitong deliberately mimicked the proud tone of the original character, but unfortunately, Meng Mama didn’t buy it at all!

Su Mei, with a face full of frustration, said, “You silly girl, who am I doing this for? Isn’t it because I’m afraid that you’ll be looked down upon after marriage? Besides, what kind of marriage is this without a wedding?”

What Su Mei didn’t say was that if the previous arranged marriage had been with Meng Wanbai, she would even have doubted if this marriage was just a way for the Meng family to sell their daughter for honor.

“Mom, stop being angry. Besides, it’s not like we’re the ones being embarrassed. If they don’t care, why should we?”

“You silly girl, you’re the one getting married! You’re the one who will live in the Qin family in the future…”

Seeing her mother getting more and more emotional, Meng Yitong hurriedly interrupted, “Mom, I haven’t even met Qin Zhuoran yet, this is a business marriage. What we’re seeing is only the family background, and if we’re embarrassed, it’s the Meng family’s embarrassment. If Uncle and Aunt don’t care, then neither should we!”

After saying that, seeing her mother’s disapproving expression, Meng Yitong quickly corrected herself, “Don’t be mad! It’s fine, after I marry him, I’ll convince Qin Zhuoran to have a grand wedding again! By then, you’ll definitely have face!”

Seeing her daughter’s determined smile, Su Mei began to believe a little. After all, her daughter was so beautiful, and it was normal for Qin Zhuoran to be swayed by her, right?

But believing it in her heart was one thing, causing a fuss was another. She couldn’t let her second uncle’s family think that her family was easy to deal with; otherwise, her position in the family would be further diminished.

So, in the days leading up to the wedding, Meng Yitong spent her time lying at home, watching dramas and chatting.

Meanwhile, Su Mei went to bother Old Master Meng once or twice a day, which annoyed him greatly.

If it weren’t for fearing that something would go wrong before the wedding, Old Master Meng would have really wanted to kick her out!

One day, during dinner, Su Mei said, “Sigh, what will we do about Yiyi in the future? She hasn’t even married yet, and she’s already being looked down upon. What will we do? I think maybe she shouldn’t marry after all…”

Saying that, she started crying, “Eee, ahh,” and Meng Yitong had no idea why her mother was saying this.

Didn’t they just talk fine in the room earlier? Why was it different now?

Though Meng Yitong didn’t understand the situation, she believed that her mother was only doing it for her own good, so she immediately followed her mother’s lead, pretending to be aggrieved and stubborn!

When Meng Papa heard Su Mei’s words, his eyes reddened, and he silently held her hand.

Even Meng Yuanliang, who usually had no care in the world, gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
