After sending the young lady out the door, Han Jingchen then greeted the guests and headed to the railway bureau cafeteria.
Gu Wanqing had previously arranged for two minibuses from the company to wait not far from the Han Familyās old house for the guests.
What surprised them, however, was that Sun Zhenlingās estranged mother-in-law also came over to offer congratulations.
Even with just a little thought, it was clear what she was up to.
Nonetheless, Yuan Yikai, without hesitation, grabbed her and dragged her out of the Han Family, not giving her a chance to speak.
When he returned to the courtyard, Sun Zhenling whispered, "Where is she?"
Yuan Yikai supported his pregnant wife, "Sent her away."
Sun Zhenling, still in disbelief, glanced at the gate, "Would she really be that obedient?"
Yuan Yikai also glanced at the gate and said, "I told her, if she dared cause any trouble, Iād deal with her youngest son."
Sun Zhenling burst out laughing, "Youāre really something, thatās her precious child; no wonder she behaved."
Seeing Yuan Yikai handle it himself, Sun Baowei and Han Chunxue didnāt intervene.
They were busy helping with the guests as well.

Since it was still summer vacation, a group of kids was already waiting early at the entrance of the transport companyās residential compound.
As soon as they saw the wedding convoy returning, they dashed into the compound like the wind, "The wedding convoy is back; the new bride is here."
Because two families were having weddings in the compound, people asked, "Which familyās wedding convoy is back?"
Most of the kids scratched their heads, unable to answer, but a couple of sharp ones shouted, "Itās Captain Heās wedding car."
Someone joked, "How do you know that?"
Those kids quickly replied, "I remembered Captain Heās wedding car is a black sedan; the leading car is that one."
"Captain Heās wedding convoy is larger than Vice Captain Luās."
He Jiefang and Wang Baoliang from the convoy were assigned to set off firecrackers, and upon hearing the kidsā announcement, they ran to the compound entrance.
Seeing that it was indeed He Familyās convoy, they lit the firecrackers.
The car with the new bride stopped at the residential compoundās gate, while the other cars were directed to drive in first.
When everyone saw the car carrying the dowry at the end, there were gasps.
As the firecracker sounds ended, Vice Captain Luās wedding convoy also returned.
He Jinxuan was already carrying Xinyan, walking into the residential compound amidst the crowd.
At the compound entrance, Fu Guangying hurriedly said, "Drive the car straight in."
The driver was a bit confused and looked back at Vice Captain Lu.
Vice Captain Lu Lu Qiufu didnāt understand Fu Guangyingās urgency either, "Didnāt you see Captain Heās car also stopped here."
After all, many coworkers from the convoy were standing beside their cars, ready to tease the bride and groom.
Fu Guangying didnāt care about any of this, "Do as I say, drive the car in."
After saying that, she glanced at the driver with some displeasure, "Did you hear me? Hurry."
The driverās tone made him quite unhappy, but it was a joyous day, so he didnāt want to say anything unpleasant. He turned and asked Vice Captain Lu again, "Should I drive in?"
Vice Captain Lu had no choice and didnāt want any more trouble today; he took a deep breath and nodded, "Do as she says."
But they underestimated the situation. In front, those waiting to tease the bride and groom, and friends of Vice Captain Lu, wouldnāt just let them pass.
They directly blocked the way ahead.
Fu Guangying anxiously watched as He Jinxuan carrying the person walked further away and urgently told the driver, "Honk, make them move, hurry, timeās running out."
Vice Captain Luās face was quite displeased, "Whatās the rush?"
Fu Guangying, somewhat agitated, couldnāt say much in front of others, but seeing Lu Qiufu waiting for her answer, she lowly said, "Getting married on the same day, whichever bride enters the house first will have a better life."
Vice Captain Lu was a bit skeptical, "Thatās just superstition."
Fu Guangying didnāt want to argue, "Whatever it is, today we have to do as I say."
Vice Captain Lu didnāt want to follow her lead, but feared sheād make a scene, so he instructed the driver in front, "Xiao Liu, drive in."
Xiao Liu didnāt expect Vice Captain Lu to be so henpecked, but it was none of his business, so he honked and slowly drove forward.
The people outside were clueless about the situation inside the car and continued trying to block it; but although Xiao Liu was driving slowly, he had no intention of stopping, leaving everyone a bit dumbfounded. What was going on?
When everyone realized the car really didnāt intend to stop, they stopped trying to block it.
But by the time they cleared a path, even though He Jinxuan was still caught up in the playful chaos, he was almost at the house gate.
Just as driver Xiao Liu sped up to overtake He Jinxuan, those around He Jinxuan, making mischief, gathered closely; to protect Xinyan, He Jinxuan started running.
Vice Captain Luās car indeed reached their gate first, but before they could get out, He Jinxuan had already run into his own yard carrying Xinyan.
Fu Guangying hastily got out of the car, turned her head, and saw them entering the yard; her face instantly turned sour out of frustration.
Leaving those at the gate to greet the bride and groom utterly puzzled.
No colleagues who were waiting earlier at the residential compound gate followed, and seeing Fu Guangying in a bad mood, they didnāt dare to approach, leading to completely different wedding atmospheres in the two nearby yards.
