The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 531: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (7)

On the day when he learned that Su Xiangran was going to get engaged to Song Chengjing, Cao Shixun was trying on wedding dresses with his fiancée Xie Wanru.

This news was told by his mother Wu Wenyue, and it hit his heart like a bolt from the blue.

Xie Wanru is a very opinionated girl. She insisted on wearing a wedding dress and holding a romantic and solemn wedding in the church.

Cao Shixun actually didn't have much opinion on this.

After all, he himself had attended a church school and received a new-style education, so he did not feel too unfamiliar or repulsive to this Western wedding format.

At the same time, Cao Ce was a person who did not pay much attention to red tape. He believed that the simpler the wedding was, the better, as long as it could express the sincere love between two people.

Moreover, Xie Zongyao also agreed with his daughter's idea and expressed that he would fully support their decision.

However, the only person in this family who raised objections was Wu Wenyue.

She was not optimistic about the Western-style wedding and even tried to persuade Xie Wanru to change her mind.

Unfortunately, her opinions were not taken seriously enough in the Cao family.

It is worth mentioning that Cao Lianxin has gotten along quite well with her future sister-in-law Xie Wanru in the past two years.

Whenever Xie Wanru returned to Hai City, she would always prepare some exquisite little gifts for Cao Lianxin.

For this wedding, Xie Wanru specially invited Cao Lianxin to be her "flower girl" and gave her a pink gauze "princess dress" as a gift.

Cao Shixun compared the suit he received to himself, but he had no interest in trying it on. He just thought it was pretty good and threw it on a chair beside him.

When Xie Wanru came out in her wedding dress, she did not ask for her future husband's opinion at the first time. She just kept looking at herself in the mirror, imagining that someone was standing next to her and looking in the mirror with her.

But Wu Wenyue interrupted her with a sarcastic voice: "What's so good about wearing white for a wedding? We are Chinese, why should we go to a church to hold our wedding?"

"This was agreed upon before." Xie Wanru bit her lip and insisted, "Mrs. Cao, please respect my beliefs."

In fact, Xie Wanru did not believe in religion. This was just her excuse. The real reason she wanted to hold her wedding in a church was because her senior Bai Yueguang was a Christian.

When the two of them were in an ambiguous period, the senior once told Xie Wanru that if he were to get married in the future, he would definitely hold his wedding in a church.

Xie Wanru insisted only because she felt that: since she couldn't marry the person she loved, then marrying in a way that her loved one liked was also an alternative way to fulfill her dream.

When Wu Wenyue heard the other party's rebuttal, she became even angrier.

What's wrong with me? As a future mother-in-law, I can't even say a few words when I feel unhappy. My daughter-in-law is going to be my daughter-in-law, and she actually talks back to me?

The anger on his face was obvious, and it looked like he was about to "open fire" at Xie Wanru.

"Okay, we're getting married, not you." Cao Shixun hated to see women whining like this, "Mom, if you want to stay, stay here. If you don't want to watch, go home. Anyway, we can choose the clothes ourselves.

We are a family soon, why should you worry about such a small matter? Just like that!"

"Okay, I'm leaving." When Wu Wenyue heard her son helping others, she felt ashamed, so she picked up her things and walked out.

Xie Wanru was somewhat touched at this moment. It seemed that Cao Shixun was not completely useless. At least he knew how to protect her in front of her future mother-in-law.

But this good impression did not last long.

"Try it yourself! I've already chosen one." Cao Shixun looked at the sky and said, "If you see one that looks suitable, just decide for yourself. I have something else to do."

After saying that, he left the store without waiting for Xie Wanru to answer.

In fact, given the status of the Cao and Xie families, they could have invited the store clerk to their home to try on clothes, but Xie Wanru wanted to try to cultivate a relationship with Cao Shixun, so she asked him to come to the store together.

But she didn't expect that her future mother-in-law would come along, and she didn't expect that she wouldn't be so enthusiastic. That cold look made Xie Wanru miss the tenderness of her old friend even more.

After Cao Shixun came out of the store, he did not return to the Cao family, but went to the Su Mansion.

When he got there, it was Nanny Hong who opened the door for him.

"My cousin is here!" Nanny Hong warmly invited Cao Shixun in.

Cao Shixun took a deep breath to calm himself down. He greeted Nanny Hong and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as I walked into the atrium, I saw large wooden boxes pushed under the corridor.

Being looked at like this by Cao Shixun, Nanny Hong felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "This is the betrothal gift from the Song family to our young lady. It was just delivered yesterday and we haven't had time to sort it out yet.

It should have been put in the house under the name of the young lady, but Master Song said that there are some things in it that he will need when he goes abroad, so he asked the young lady to pick out the things before sending them away. "

Cao Shixun seemed to have sensed something was wrong immediately. He exclaimed, "Going abroad? When did my cousin decide to go abroad?"

It turned out that Wu Wenyue only said that Su Xiangran was going to get engaged to Song Chengjing, and did not say that they would go abroad together after the engagement.
