Chapter 2 - Xie Yu

She was stunned for a moment and couldn't think how to reply. How could he know? I didn't tell him?

Suddenly another WeChat message from Bai Xingfan came, revealing her doubts.

[Sorry, just saw the Moments. 】

Oh, it turned out to be that.

Su Yan had sent an electronic invitation card to a circle of friends three days ago. So it was not a surprise that he could see it, but she didn't expect that he would send a blessing because she didn't invite him to the wedding banquet. 

Before replying to him, the phone vibrates again, and she received the third message from Bai Xingfan: [Tomorrow I will ask the assistant to deliver the wedding gift for me. 】

What gifts? Why are you so worried about that? Su Yan became puzzled.

Actually, Su Yan didn't want to take money from others by taking advantage of marriage, so he didn't send separate invitations to those who usually didn't get in touch.

[Thank you for the blessing, but I don't need any gifts. The kindness of your heart is enough for me.] She replied.

【It's not a valuable thing. I hope Miss Su can accept it. 】His tone was very gentle, and his words were sincere.

Su Yan was too embarrassed to refuse again, so she had to reply: [Ok, thank you, Mr. Bai, for your kindness.]

After that, Bai Xingfan didn't reply anymore, so Su Yan put the phone down and continued looking at the wedding dress.

In the center of the clean and smooth mirror, there is also circular double happiness, which reflects the white and flawless wedding dress, with an indescribable sense of happiness.

Su Yan's eyes were slightly curved, and she couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, looking happy and happy like a well-fed kitten.

"Yan Yan, you are so beautiful." Yao Anan looked at Su Yan for a while and said enviously.

Swan neck, right-angled shoulders, slim waist, peach hips, and slender Legs were better than most female stars. Not only the appearance, but also her temperament was not worse than female stars. It was vain that she was not an actress.

"Hey, actually, you can rely on your face to eat. Why do you have to rely on talent? If you don't reject those opportunities and become a female star, I can be your manager." Yao Anan said with a regretful tone. 

"Being a star is not just about your face, but ultimately depends on your strength and virtue. What do I have? At best, I am an ordinary person who doesn't do bad things. People worship idols. Do I deserve it? I don't!"

Yao Anan looked at Su Yan motionlessly for a few seconds and gave her a thumbs up: "Tsk tsk, this is indeed our talented screenwriter. It's really cheap for that dog Xie Yu."

After listening to Yao Anan, Su Yan stared at her reflection in the mirror, sighed, and put away the wedding dress. " Anan, I still think I don't deserve Xie Yu. Am I talking advantages of him?"

In terms of education, she was not as good as Xie Yu, in terms of family background, she was also not as good as Xie Yu, in terms of character, her character was not as pleasing as Xie Yu. She was also good-looking, but Xie Yu was the kind of person preferred by Empress Nuwa. No matter where he went, he was the most dazzling one in the crowd.

[TL Notes: Empress Nuwa — Nüwa, also read Nügua, is the mother goddess of Chinese mythology. She is credited with creating humanity and repairing the Pillar of Heaven.]

Since their school days, Xie Yu has been shining brightly among others, and there were countless suitors after him. However, she was like grass under the shade of a tree, dim, dull and invisible. So that's why Su Yan felt that marrying Xie Yu was taking advantage of him. 

"How can you say that? Such second-hand good like Xie Yu, do you still regard him as a treasure?" Yao Anan scolded Su Yan. Actually, Yao Anan was not satisfied with Xie Yu and didn't have a good impression of him. 

Su Yan's face became darker: "He just had a relationship with another woman before, not married. So why is he second-hand? Don't say such things."

Yao Anan showed no mercy: "Yeah, he was in love with another for five years and they were very affectionate."

"..............."

Su Yan's heart suddenly became sour and astringent, as if being fed an unripe green orange.

Her mind instantly returned to the summer when she was eighteen years old. Before applying for the college entrance examination, she asked Xie Yu which university he plans to go to.

He replied, "Dongfu University."

So she also applied to Dongfu university for him, but who knew he would apply to another university for another girl. Later, he went abroad with that girl.

The two of them had been together for five years, and everyone thought they would definitely get married, but who knew that Xie Yu would suddenly break up with Jiang Qi while preparing for the marriage.

People who knew about their relationship couldn't believe it, so they even scolded Su Yan as a third-party who broke off Xie Yu and Jiang Qi. But when Su Yan started a relationship with Xie Yu, he was broken up with Jiang Qi for almost a year.

Most people around them said that she was not as good as Jiang Qi in every aspect, and Xie Yu was blind. So she also felt that they were right. From the beginning, she was not worthy of Xie Yu, and Jiang Qi has always been a thorn in her heart.

Su Yan stopped talking, squatted on the ground with her head down, and arranged her wedding dress in a muffled voice.

Yao Anan didn't know if she said something wrong. After all, tomorrow was a big day for people. Wouldn't it be a complete disappointment to say these words now?

But, she didn't like Xie Yu at all, either horizontally or vertically. Besides, the two of them haven't received the certificate yet. Tomorrow is just a process, so what can't I say? Yao Anan thought. 

Although Xie Yu was really good to Su Yan, she still couldn't understand why he chose Jiang Qi between Su Yan and Jiang Qi in the first place. What's even more puzzling was that after spending time with Jiang Qi for five years, why did he come to Su Yan five years later?

It was simply delusional behavior.

So, Yao Anan couldn't hold back and said again: "You are so young, why don't you choose..."

After Su Yan closed the box for the wedding dress, she was silent for a while and said seriously. "I think he is the best."

Yao Anan looked puzzled: "Why?"

Su Yan: "Do you remember I told you before that I lived with my grandma in my hometown until the second year of junior high."

Yao Anan didn't know why she asked that, but nodded anyway.

Su Yan continued: "In the second year of junior high school, I transferred to Dongfu to go to junior high school."

She came from a small, poor village where they didn't even have a single cement road. Her parents went out to work and only took her younger brother with them because of the strict family planning control at that time. So she had to stay with her grandmother in the village.

It was not until the age of fourteen that her father made a fortune by chance and brought her and her grandmother to live in the big city.

In order to make up for her, her father did not hesitate to pay a high tuition fee of 200,000 yuan a year to send her to a top private junior high school.

But money could not fill the gap between her and her classmates. At that time, she was a country girl who could not even speak Mandarin well, and she didn't know a single English word. So she could not integrate into groups. 

And because of the gap in educational resources, she had just learned to say "fine, thank you, and you?" and other students had already started preparing for the IELTS test.

In short, at that time, she was an alternative in the eyes of her classmates, a rustic village girl who couldn't get on the stage. So no one wants to be her friend, which is shameful.

Su Yan sighed lightly: "At that time, Xie Yu was the only one in the school who didn't dislike me and was willing to talk to me."

Yao Anan really hadn't heard Su Yan say this, so she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Ah..."

Su Yan slightly curled her lips and said softly: "So, he is really a good person."

Yao Anan hesitated and said, "It sounds like he is a little bit good."

Su Yan corrected seriously and seriously: "It's not a little bit, he is so good!"

Yao Anan rolled his eyes: "Hey, lover's eyes, I can't win over you."

Su Yan smiled and put the wedding dress box next to the dresser.

Yao Anan suddenly thought of something: "How is Xie Yu's father's health?"

Su Yan sighed and shook her head: "Not very good, if he can't find a suitable match, I guess..."

Su Yan didn't finish the sentence, but Yao Anan could understand the meaning of the unfinished sentence.

No hope.

Xie Yu's father's heart valve had a problem, causing congestive heart failure. Now the only treatment was a heart transplant.

However, finding a suitable match was a difficult task. 

Yao Anan looked at Su Yan for a while and said, "Then, can he come to the wedding tomorrow?"

Su Yan shook her head: "No, the doctor has not allowed him to be discharged from the hospital. "

Yao Anan: "Then only his mother?"

Su Yan nodded.

Yao Anan: "Su Yan, you..." 

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Yan replied: "It's still the same, I don't like it horizontally and vertically, if there is a pick-and-roll game in this world, she must be the first."

Yao Anan was amused, and comforted her sisters: "Anyway, you can see that she is not pleasing to the eye, so it's even."

Su Yan: "Fortunately, I don't have to live with her after I get married, otherwise it would be a disaster."

Yao Anan: "Hahaaa....But I still think you are so cool that you dare to talk to her directly."

When Xie Yu took her to meet his parents, his mother didn't give her much face. She even told Su Yan to resign from her screenwriting job and be a good wife and good mother at home.

At that time, she just smiled lightly and replied: "I think your image of a mother-in-law is especially suitable for my new script, which will surely resonate with many female audiences."

At that time, Xie Yu's mother was pissed off and even scolded Xie Yu for finding such a girl.

Su Yan thought of breaking up with Xie Yu after that incident, but he didn't get angry with her, just smiled helplessly, and then said to his mother: "How can such a talented girl stay at home and serve others?  Your son can't do such a cruel thing."

Even in the face of her mother, Xie Yu still protected her, just like when she was bullied by her classmates, only he is willing to stand in front of her and protect her.

"He treats me really well." Su Yan said to Yao Anan seriously, "I can't find another man who treats me like him."

Yao Anan was noncommittal and whispered: "You..... how do you know if you didn't look for it?"

Su Yan: "I don't want to look for anyone other than him."

Otherwise, she wouldn't refuse the pursuit of other boys again and again. She would always compare other people with Xie Yu involuntarily, and there was no one better than Xie Yu.

Suddenly, the phone on the dresser vibrated again, this time with a long vibration.

Caller ID: Brother Yu.

Su Yan's eyes lit up, she immediately grabbed the phone, and answered the call: "Hello?"

"Still asleep?" Xie Yu's voice was low, with a lazy smile in his tone, 

Su Yan Yan: "I was already asleep, and your phone call woke me up."

"You are sleeping with the light on?" Xie Yu smiled even more, "This is not a good habit, you have to change it, otherwise it will affect my sleep."

Su Yan's cheeks flushed, and then she suddenly realized something and looked at the window.

Xie Yu's tone was naughty, like a child who succeeded in mischief: "I'm downstairs in your house."
