Chapter 3015 Mutual Respect and Love
Unexpectedly, Jenny waved her hands repeatedly, a look of exasperation on her face, "There's no need for that. This guy is so immature, I'm afraid I'll live a miserable life every day in the future. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle."
Jessica glared at her resentfully, her voice tinged with grievance, "This matter can't be resolved, can it?"
"I've only ever tricked Xia Lin once in my life, is it really necessary for you all to hold this grudge like this?"
Charlene smiled, but a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. She shook her head slightly and said, "Should I thank you for making me the laughingstock of everyone?"
Jessica quickly waved her hand, her tone softening, "No need, no need... those are all things of the past, let's turn the page."
The two chatted back and forth, making the people around them chuckle softly.
Just then, Xia's mother gently interrupted, her voice carrying a sense of solemnity, "Alright, alright, the ceremony is about to begin."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped smiling, the atmosphere became solemn, and they all turned their heads, focusing their attention on the spiral staircase on the second floor.
Shi Yang gracefully linked arms with Zhou Si and slowly descended the stairs, each step exuding composure and reverence.
Sunlight streamed through the glass roof of the banquet hall, creating soft beams that intertwined with the backdrop of lush greenery, as if paving a radiant path for the newlyweds.
As they slowly revealed themselves, Marcy's white engagement dress shimmered in the light, making her skin appear even whiter and more porcelain-like.
Her features were perfectly outlined by the meticulously crafted makeup, and her eyes held a hint of shyness and happiness.
Zhou Si, standing beside him, was, needless to say, his well-tailored suit making him even more handsome and extraordinary.
His usually indifferent face showed a rare hint of gentleness today.
Those usually calm eyes seemed to hold a light within them.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing an undisguised joy.
His gaze frequently fell on his fiancée beside him, clearly showing his genuine joy at the engagement ceremony.
As everyone watched them walk slowly down the stairs side by side, their thoughts were almost in unison: they were a perfect couple, a match made in heaven.
Shah Rukh stood aside, watching this scene unfold, and tears instantly streamed down his face.
He recalled the years he raised his daughter alone after his wife's early death.
He was once trapped in a remote mountain tribe, unable to see the outside world, and thought he would grow old in frustration and despair, unable to even see the direction of his daughter's happiness.
But now, his most precious daughter has found someone she likes and is engaged. How could he not be moved?
Looking at her standing smiling beside her fiancé, Shah Rukh felt a complex yet warm emotion welling up inside him.
All those years of care and concern seemed to have found a place in an instant, yet there was also a lingering sense of reluctance.
Lu Yanjue, who was standing next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone, "Today is a joyous occasion, the village chief should be happy."
Shah Rukh wiped away his tears, but a relieved smile curved his lips as he replied softly, "I know, of course I'm happy too, but I just can't help it..."
The others smiled and exchanged understanding glances, all of them knowing that he was experiencing a mixture of joy and emotion.
No one said anything more, they just stood quietly with him in this festive atmosphere.
Let alone Shah Rukh.
Even the elders and younger generations from the other tribes nearby had just been smiling.
At this moment, they couldn't help but have tears welling up in their eyes and quietly wiping them away.
Grandpa Zhou was sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his wrinkled face.
His situation was actually quite similar to Shah Rukh's; he too had to raise his grandson with great difficulty from a young age.
Over the years, he has been both a father and a mother, and I don't know how much effort he has put in.
Now, seeing my grandson finally settle down and have his own family, I feel so happy.
He felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and he could finally give an account to his daughter after his death.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward and gently patted the old man's back, soothing him in a gentle voice: "Don't cry, old man, today is a joyous day, you should be happy!"
He laughed as he spoke, then leaned closer and continued in a warm tone, "Just think, once Xiao Yang graduates, you might soon be able to hold your great-grandson."
Four generations living together in harmony—this is the ultimate family bliss, the happiest thing in life, isn't it?
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao also tried to persuade him, fearing that the old man would become too emotional.
Grandpa Zhou raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had welled up in his eyes, his voice trembling slightly as he replied softly, "I know... I understand."
He paused for a moment, as if trying to suppress the emotions welling up inside him, and then said, "I just feel... this child has had such a difficult journey."
"I owe everything I have today to Xiaoyang and her family, for their constant care and support."
As he spoke, his voice choked up again, and he shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "I was just a little touched, and I couldn't hold back for a moment."
Not to mention Grandpa Zhou, even Yu Wanjun next to him was wiping away tears, muttering to herself, "Marrying off a daughter is so painful... Luckily I only had a son, otherwise I would have had a lot to cry about."
The last time I cried this badly was when Xue Luo got married.
Jiang Ruoli smiled gently and reassured them softly, "It's understandable that you're reluctant to part with them; every parent feels that way."
But look how considerate Zhou Si is to Ma Xi. They truly love each other, and their future together will surely be bright and happy.
Yu Wanjun nodded upon hearing this, her emotions seemingly calming down a bit, and continued, "That's true, like you and Ajue, supporting each other, respecting and loving each other."
Several other junior students also have happy families, which makes me especially gratified.
Nan Zhiyi and the others chimed in softly, "Of course, Auntie, don't be too sad. Today is a joyous occasion, and you're going to cry your makeup off."
"Okay, okay, I'll wipe my tears right away."
As she spoke, she quickly pressed her eyes, trying to suppress all the surging emotions back into her heart.
On the other side, Charlene also shed tears, a rare occurrence for her.
She turned her face away and secretly wiped away her tears with her fingers, but her eyes were still red.
She's not someone who cries easily, but at this moment, seeing her best friend find happiness, she really couldn't hold back.
My heart felt warmed by the light, a bittersweet mix of emotions, and a deep sense of comfort.
I remember when I first met Shi Yang, everyone ostracized her because she came from the countryside.
At the time, Charlene couldn't stand it.
Without thinking much about it, she felt that she shouldn't treat a new classmate like that, so she took the initiative to befriend Shi Yang.
At first, Charlene was just trying to help and take care of her out of kindness.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly quiet girl possessed an undeniable strength within her.
She was so outstanding, and she didn't care at all about those who looked down on her.
