Although Tang Taishan’s words were casual, it sounded like a strict command in which the listener must follow obediently. Being at the top of the social hierarchy for a long time, Tang Taishan got the impression that his words were the supreme order which everyone must follow.
As he waved, Tang Taishan commented decisively, “It’s getting late now, let the wedding begin!”
Following his order, Tang’e and the Sun Family quickened their wedding preparations and arrangements with joy.
Suddenly, Zhou Ying bit her red lips and with her determined face, she protested, “No, I want to wait for my elder brother first. After he comes and helps me put on my wedding dress, then we’ll begin the wedding.”
Members of the Sun Family were so shocked by Zhou Ying’s words that their facial expression changed abruptly. How dare the little girl disobey Tang Taishan’s order?
“How rude you are!” Sun Jianye bellowed while putting on an authoritative look. “Who is your older brother, Chu Feng, to keep our honorable guest, Mr. Tang, here waiting for him? How ridiculous that is? Listen to me, let the wedding begin! We need not wait for him!”
With a smile and holding her head high up in the air, Zhou Ying insisted with a determined voice, “Uncle Jianye, it’s my wedding today and I don’t need other people telling me what to do on my wedding day. Today, I must wait for my elder brother before we start the wedding, or else, I’m not going to get married!”
Zhou Ying was tired of compromising with the Sun Family. This time, she wanted to have it her own way without caring about other people’s opinions. Her words were a real slap in the face of Tang Taishan and members of the Sun Family. Tang Taishan’s eyes flickered with an uneasy look.
“You—how inappropriately you behave—” Sun Jianye’s lips quivered with anger.
Sun Mingxuan frowned while he advised anxiously, “Yingying, what nonsense you’re talking about? Quick, apologize to grandpa!”
“You heard that? What kind of nonsense is that? She certainly doesn’t look like an obedient wife!” Infuriated, Tang’e pointed at Zhou Lie and his wife and shouted, “Zhou Lie, Liu Minglan, is this the kind of daughter you raised in your family? Aren’t you going to teach her some lessons right now?”
