Rebirth Counterattack with Space

"This is for sure. In Capital City, Shitou’s grandparents have always kept a low profile, preferring not to host grand banquets. The guests who come are either relatives or close friends,"

Lu Yun said with a smile, patiently explaining to Feng Sijia. She was also trying to distract her, to help ease her nervousness.

"But it’s completely different in Yushu Village, which is the stronghold of Lu Group. It’s not just that almost every household in our village has someone working for the Lu Family. In fact, more than half of them are employees under the Lu Group’s banner.

Even the neighboring villages and towns, many people are employees or business partners of the Lu Group. Even if we didn’t invite them, they would still come by themselves to congratulate us."

"I’ve heard something like this from my cousin and aunt before. They said that besides the villages and towns around here, Haicheng has the largest scale of the Lu Group. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it with my own eyes today is indeed more shocking."

"Haicheng is my mother’s hometown; that’s where we started our business. Even though the group’s headquarters have moved to Capital City now, Haicheng’s status is still not to be underestimated."

Lu Yun and Feng Sijia walked and chatted together, and gradually Feng Sijia didn’t feel as nervous anymore. Their close, cheerful demeanor drew special attention from many onlookers.

"Does anyone know who the girl next to Lu Yun is? She’s a very delicate-looking beauty," many people asked each other in private who the bridesmaid was.

"That’s my niece."

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman excitedly shivered with pride, as if she would fly into the sky, loudly proclaiming so that everyone would know, "You don’t know, do you? My niece and the bride were classmates. Both of them studied at B University in Capital City and get along very well. If they weren’t close, she wouldn’t have been asked to be a bridesmaid, right?"

"Indeed. Aunt, where are you from? You look unfamiliar," someone curiously turned their attention and asked upon hearing this.

"My son also works for the Lu Group, on Haicheng’s side. He just happened to be on leave today, and for such a grand event, our whole family naturally came to join in the fun and celebrate together," the middle-aged woman replied excitedly, not directly answering the question, and waved at a few people not far away, very satisfied with herself for bringing everyone along today while her son was off work, "Junshan, Junshan, quickly call your aunt and them over. I see your cousin."

"..."

The questioner secretly pursed their lips, who cares who your son is?

Yet they weren’t ready to leave without getting more information, and while smiling and responding, "That’s exactly it, everyone in our village treats this celebration as their own big event and has invited a bunch of relatives and friends to join in the fun," they looked in the direction the middle-aged woman was waving. And indeed, they saw two people. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Suying, look, Sijia is really over there. Tsk, she’s changed her outfit and really looks different, much prettier than usual," remarked the middle-aged woman, still not over her excitement upon seeing Feng Sijia’s mother approaching.

Yan Suying looked towards the red carpet and immediately saw her daughter in a pink puffy dress, walking beside the bride in a white wedding gown. The two were talking closely as they walked, looking extremely intimate.

Seeing her daughter composed, she couldn’t help but smile. She had always known that her daughter became nervous when she saw lots of people. It was also for this reason that Sijia had originally refused to go to a normal college and become a teacher after graduation.

But at this moment, it was clearly the bride, Lu Yun, who often hung on her daughter’s lips and had given her throat lozenges, who noticed her daughter’s nervousness. Only by talking to her and distracting her had this effect been achieved.

Yan Suying’s fondness for Lu Yun instantly grew.

"Is that bridesmaid your daughter? Are she and the bride classmates?" a woman beside Yan Suying poked her arm and asked curiously.

"Yes..." Yan Suying hadn’t finished speaking when her sister-in-law cut in.

Yan Suying laughed helplessly and closed her mouth. With her sister-in-law around, there was usually no need for her to bother speaking up. So she just watched her sister-in-law engage in a back-and-forth with the others, airing out all sorts of details about her daughter.

"Hey, what are you saying, that’s my niece you’re talking about. Could there be any doubt?"

"I’m not doubting that. Your niece is really pretty, I’m just curious, is she promised to someone yet?"

...

Yan Suying’s nephew, Yan Junshan, looked apologetically at her and rubbed his hands together, "Auntie, my mom, she--"

"It’s okay, I know her." Yan Suying shook her head good-naturedly. Anyway, the topics her sister-in-law brought up weren’t secrets, so it wasn’t a big deal to share them.

Of course, she knew what kind of person her sister-in-law was. She never shared any real secrets with her.

Watching the bride walk further away, and her daughter’s figure becoming distant, Yan Suying thought that since she was there, it would be best to go meet the bride in person and express her thanks.

She was pondering this when she glanced at her sister-in-law, who was still spitting and bragging. The thought of bringing her along later made her head start to ache.

Feng Sijia suddenly realized this issue and also started to feel a headache. She said to Lu Yun with a bit of annoyance and embarrassment, "My mother and my aunt might also come over to join in the fun today. My mom even said she wanted to thank you in person. But my aunt is too familiar; she’ll probably want to tag along later. If she says something, just pretend you didn’t hear it, okay? Don’t take offense."

"Your aunt mentioned she would come? Then later, I’ll have someone check if they’ve arrived, and if they have, I’ll invite them over. Don’t worry, I won’t take your aunt’s words to heart."

Lu Yun hurriedly reassured Feng Sijia with a smile, then turned to Shitou and said, "Ask around, and have someone invite Sijia’s mother and aunt over to our place."

Shitou nodded, "I’ll find someone to check if they’re here yet. Her cousin is Yan Junshan, right?"

"Right." Feng Sijia had always been a bit intimidated by Shitou, who always seemed stern and unsmiling. Hearing his words, she quickly responded. He nodded to her and then turned to say something to the people behind him.

Feng Sijia shrank back a little and whispered to Lu Yun, "Your man has a really good memory, even remembering that. When I came, I heard my aunt say that my cousin had a shift break recently and that they had planned to come over together. Given her temperament, I’d be surprised if she didn’t come."

"He does have a good memory. What are you afraid of? He’s a very amiable person." Lu Yun said, amused by Feng Sijia’s demeanor.
