”What, never seen a woman before? Why are your eyes fixed on that tramp, are they glazed over?”

Just as Duan Hong was feeling waves of envy, jealousy, and hatred inside, his wife, Chen Anyue, angrily and sarcastically muttered under her breath, elbowing him in the waist.

”No, not at all, Anyue, you’re overthinking.” Realizing his wife was upset, Duan Hong, despite being a womanizer, had to consider that today was their wedding day after all! So he promptly denied it.

”No? If not, then what are you standing there stunned for? Let Mom lead them in first, coming uninvited, such bad luck, huh!”

Chen Anyue gritted her teeth in anger, couldn’t help but scoff, sarcastically.

She certainly knew what kind of person her husband was, but there was no choice. He had a good job and a high salary. If Chen Anyue wanted to live a happy life in the future, she had to be smart, turn a blind eye...

Otherwise, Duan Hong wouldn’t have chosen to marry her.

While talking, four or five people came over, all older women, seemingly neighbors from Chen Fei’s mom’s community. When they saw the commotion here, and noticed Chen Bing and Lin Ling were there, their eyes lit up and gathered enthusiastically.

”Isn’t this Sister Lin (Little Lin)? Why did you just arrive? Come, let’s sit together with our familiar neighbors, right Sister Chen? Eh, Sister Lin, why does this young man look so familiar? He looks a bit like you, could it be...”

One of the women in colorful clothes, who seemed to have a good relationship with Lin Ling, hugged Lin Ling enthusiastically, and then her eyes fell on Chen Fei, suddenly stunned.

For Chen Fei and Lin Ling were entirely cut from the same mold, even if one wasn’t blind, they could guess something.

”Haha, Sister Wang, this is my son... Brat, why aren’t you greeting people? This is Aunt Wang, this is Aunt Xu, this is Aunt Du...”

Lin Ling’s smile finally looked more natural, smiling as she spoke. She had quite the good relationship with the neighbors.

”Aunt Wang, Aunt Xu, Aunt Du...” Chen Fei promptly greeted each one.

”Aunt Wang, Aunt Xu, Aunt Du...” Seeing Chen Fei speak up, Pei Wanning didn’t miss out either.

Upon witnessing the scene, the group of neighborly women couldn’t help but look in amazement, their eyes fixed on Pei Wanning’s face, full of wonder and surprise: ”Sister Lin (Little Lin), could this pretty young lady be?”

”This is my daughter-in-law,” Lin Ling remarked with some pride.

”Wow!”

”It really is... Sister Lin, your son is amazing, this young lady is absolutely stunning, even more beautiful than those celebrities and models on TV!”

”Absolutely. If my daughter had even half—no, no—one-third the beauty of this young lady, the suitors would form a line from the southern gate to the Northern Bridge. Little Lin, your son is remarkable, you’re truly blessed!”

...

Seeing Lin Ling admit it, the neighbors couldn’t help but make a fuss, faces full of envy.

In their age group, everyone had a son or daughter; who didn’t wish for their son to find such a charming daughter-in-law, or their daughter to be as beautiful as this one? That way, just bringing them out would bring pride, just like now.

With Little Lin’s (Sister Lin’s) son marrying such a beautiful girl, even more beautiful than big celebrities and models on TV, who wouldn’t be envious? Their eyes were fixed, wishing they could swap places with Lin Ling!

”Oh, where, where, Sister Wang, Sister Xu, you’re just joking. But my brat indeed has good luck, otherwise how could he find such a pleasing daughter-in-law?” Lin Ling initially wanted to be modest, but by the end, her modesty had completely transformed, her face full of smiles.

To speak the truth, she now actually felt that Chen Fei marrying Pei Wanning was like their ancestors’ graves were blessed.

Even with her past status as a talented woman from Capital University, truly experienced, she had to admit at this moment that her son had found such an outstanding and excessively beautiful girl! Even her heart harbored a bit of envy...

However, regardless of Pei Wanning’s excellence and beauty, she was still taken by her son, which proves that boy has some skills, overall pretty good, hehe... Lin Ling was all smiles.

Seeing this scene, Chen Anyue couldn’t help but become livid, her teeth grinding in anger, her eyes filled with jealous and furious resentment.

Originally, she was supposed to be the star of today’s event, yet now, everything felt twisted! Chen Anyue had become Pei Wanning’s backdrop, which, given her miniscule heart, was utterly unacceptable.

”Hmm!” The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, Chen Anyue couldn’t help but stomp her foot in hatred, giving a cold snort! Her dissatisfaction was written all over her face.

Witnessing this, the group of neighborly women paused, then awkwardly smiled, quickly turning to shower Chen Anyue with compliments.

”Oh, isn’t that Anyue? Just now I couldn’t even recognize you... The wedding dress truly looks stunning on you, like you’ve transformed into another person, so beautiful.”

”Absolutely. Where did you buy this wedding dress, Anyue? Looks quite expensive, very pretty...”

...

They weren’t foolish, they understood it was Chen Anyue’s wedding today, yet they kept praising others, which was certainly inappropriate...

But compared to Pei Wanning, even the finely decorated Chen Anyue seemed vastly inferior...

So their instinctive attempts to smooth things over felt somewhat insincere.

All their compliments were about the beauty of Chen Anyue’s wedding dress, making it seem like she herself wasn’t much to praise.

These words would have been better left unsaid, because when spoken, Chen Anyue only got more upset, her eyes fiercely focused, turning green.

Witnessing this, Chen Bing started to understand the situation better. Today was supposed to be her inviting Lin Ling’s family over to showcase her own family and her daughter’s success, yet now things felt amiss?

At that instant, Chen Bing felt extremely dissatisfied, but couldn’t express it in front of these neighbors, so she shifted her thoughts, feigned concern, and sarcastically asked: ”By the way, Little Lin, your son hasn’t been back for quite a while, right? He works elsewhere? How’s he doing? Oh my, look at me... this outfit, must only be worth a few tens, maybe a hundred bucks? Hmm~ It’s normal for young people to face setbacks and challenges, after all, we went through them too, don’t you think?”

Seeing Chen Fei in his cheap street market attire, Chen Bing was ’finally’ like she found a breakthrough, feigning concern while sarcastically mocking, and then carrying on in a proud tone, seemingly ’caring.’
