1067: The Wedding Ceremony—Serving The Humble Pie (2)

The Wedding Ceremony—Serving The Humble Pie (2)

Ms. Lu had one arm hooked with her husband and another hand holding her son as she stared at Yun Jian in anticipation.1

It was Yun Jian's mother's wedding today and it was also Ms. Lu's first time dining in a four-star hotel. The woman had put on makeup and her prettiest outfit before she headed out.

Once she thought that she would be having dinner in the Crystal Rhythm Hotel like a rich wife later, she was incredibly pleased.

Ms. Lu looked toward Yun Jian and saw Qing You who was standing next to her as well as Gu Nian whom she was grabbing. She had never seen the two girls before and did not know who they were to Yun Jian.

As a friendly gesture, maybe to stand out even more to Yun Jian, Ms. Lu plastered on an incredibly fake smile as she looked at Yun Jian and asked in feigned warmth, "Yun Zhu's sister, where's Yun Zhu? Why isn't he around?"

After a moment of silence, Ms. Lu spoke up again to pander to Yun Jian, "Aha, Yun Zhu's a very active boy. He must be off playing somewhere huh?"

Ms. Lu knew that Yun Jian loved her younger brother, so she was only saying that to be on Yun Jian's page. One had to give it to the teacher that she was being smart.

What Yun Jian did not know was that Ms. Lu was praising Yun Zhu's playfulness as being active here—which was after the teacher knew Yun Jian's status as the Advanced Special Forces—but she had called Yun Zhu an ADHD child and punished him to stand outside the classroom when he had fidgeted a little more in class once previously.

"Xiao Zhu isn't here yet. I have things to attend to, enjoy yourself," Yun Jian gave Ms. Lu a glance and paused before saying coldly.

Then she was escorted into the hotel by Qing You who was holding Gu Nian down.

"Hey, hey, Yun Zhu's sister…" Ms. Lu wanted to say more but Yun Jian had already gone into the Crystal Rhythm Hotel.

It was obvious that Yun Jian was brushing her off.

While Ms. Lu stood on her spot, some passersby threw weirded glances at her. This made the teacher extremely upset with Yun Jian. After she watched Yun Jian enter the hotel, she stayed there and complained disgruntledly, "Pft, she's just an ASF soldier! She's just a little more famous now that the military pays attention to her. You think you're some bigshot huh? Go get to know actual hotshots if you're that amazing!"

"Youngsters nowadays! Impudent!"

It was because Yun Jian had gone into the Crystal Rhythm Hotel and had disappeared in her field of vision that Ms. Lu dared scowl so vehemently.

"Darling, don't be angry. No need to work yourself up over that kind of people. Look out for your health, your health matters more," Ms. Lu's husband placated her softly.

The man was a typical weak and incompetent type. He did not have a proper job either and was staying home doing nothing, depending on Ms. Lu who earned a meager sum teaching in school.

When Ms. Lu heard him, though, she was immediately soothed.

Her husband was right! Yun Zhu's sister was only an Advanced Special Forces member. What was so impressive about it? It was not like she knew someone incredibly influential! What was she trying to do acting so high and mighty in front of her?

As she thought about it, Ms. Lu kept her arm hooked with her husband and her hold on her son as she swayed her hips in dignified pleasure to go into the hotel.

By 4:30pm, most of the guests were arriving from their accommodations.

As for Yun Jian who entered the Crystal Rhythm Hotel, she saw Diane, Phantom Flame and Spectral Refiner sitting at a round table together.
