Chapter 816: The Disabled Young Master (29)
If the matter were to blow up at his wedding, how would he still be able to marry Pan'er?
Even if the marriage went ahead smoothly, Pan'er would be subjected to gossip and criticism afterward.
……
Seeing Li Shuai desperately signaling at her, Tang Wan could only curl the corner of her mouth helplessly.
However, she had no intention of causing trouble at their wedding, so she quickly pretended not to know Li Shuai and shifted her gaze away.
Seeing this, Li Shuai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After greeting the Marquis of Dongbo, He Jiantong looked toward Li Shuai and deliberately said, “The Little Marquis looks rather familiar…”
Hearing this, Li Shuai's heart gave a jolt.
But he quickly composed himself and said, “Young Master He has been to my hometown before. Perhaps you happened to see me there?”
He Jiantong nodded slightly. “That could be the case. But what a coincidence. My Pan'er… also comes from the Little Marquis's hometown.”
Li Shuai's heart nearly jumped out of his throat.
Watching his expression alternate between nervousness and relief, Tang Wan almost couldn't stop herself from laughing.
Li Shuai was probably going to be scared half to death by Tongtong, wasn't he?
……
At this moment, Li Shuai tightly clenched his hands, desperately maintaining his composure. He did not dare mention in the slightest that he had once worked as a servant in the Chu family.
“Is that so? What a coincidence.”
Just then, some other guests came over.
Seeing them, Li Shuai hurriedly put on a smile, secretly relieved.
“Why don't you two go inside and take a seat?” Li Shuai said to Tang Wan and He Jiantong.
“Mm.” Tang Wan nodded, then pushed He Jiantong toward the marquis's residence garden.
However, while Li Shuai had managed to get through it easily enough, Master Chu was not so easy to deal with.
He had never expected to see He Jiantong and Tang Wan inside the marquis's residence. When Master Chu saw the two of them, his expression changed repeatedly.
At this moment, He Jiantong deliberately pretended not to know anything and looked at him.
“Father-in-law, what are you doing here?”
Hearing this, Master Chu's palms immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Today was the day Pan'er and Li Shuai were getting married. If He Jiantong revealed the truth, how would he explain himself to the Marquis of Dongbo's residence?
For a moment, Master Chu hurriedly said, “Nothing. I just have some business to attend to here. Once I'm finished, I was planning to go see you two.”
“Oh. Then I won't disturb you while you're busy. But once you're finished, you must come to the He residence. Let your son-in-law play host and entertain you properly,” He Jiantong said.
“Of course, of course!” Master Chu hurriedly replied.
He then quickly left.
……
Only after Master Chu had left did Tang Wan whisper into He Jiantong's ear, “Tongtong, you're so mean. The two of them have probably already been scared half to death by you!”
Hearing this, He Jiantong snorted lightly. “They deserve it. Who told them to bully you!”
Although having Wanwan marry in Chu Pan'er's place had accidentally worked out in their favor, that did not change the fact that they had pushed Wanwan into it.
What if he hadn't fallen for Wanwan? What would happen if he learned the truth later and decided to punish her?
He didn't believe Master Chu had never considered these possibilities.
……
Neither Tang Wan nor He Jiantong had any intention of causing trouble and offending the Marquis of Dongbo's residence at this point, so Li Shuai and Chu Pan'er's wedding naturally proceeded smoothly.
After the wedding, the two of them only stayed for a short while to eat and drink with the guests before leaving.
That very afternoon, Master Chu went to the He residence.
