Before dawn.

--------------

Receiving Chuxia’s call, Yun Doudou’s voice was full of surprise: "You finally remembered me, do you know I’ve been waiting for your call?"

"Couldn’t you just call me first?" Chuxia said with amusement, "The way you talk, you sound like a concubine waiting for the Emperor to choose her."

"Yes, the feeling of waiting for your call is exactly like waiting for the Emperor to choose a concubine, because you’re now a national treasure being protected, I’m afraid of disturbing you, so I didn’t dare to call randomly."

"From your voice, I can tell you’re in a great mood. It seems like your preparations are going well, right?"

"Yes, not bad..." Yun Doudou’s voice was full of laughter, "I really didn’t expect it, my mother opened up so unexpectedly, initially I was worried she’d be uncomfortable having my adoptive parents attend.

Unexpectedly, before I could even mention it, my mom personally went to my adoptive parents’ house and brought them over, and even said that during the wedding tomorrow, she’d like my adoptive father to speak as the representative for the bride’s side.

I’m telling you, if someone had told me before yesterday that my mom would take these steps, I would never have believed it, but now facts have proven I was truly wrong before.

It’s not that my mom didn’t love me, she just loves me differently than my adoptive parents do, and she really used to be jealous of my adoptive parents.

Now that it’s out in the open, she has relaxed, and she even told me that when I return in March, not only should I come here, but I should also visit my adoptive parents’ house, and she told me to be filial to my adoptive parents.

Remember how my brother was bullied and then requested help from Division Commander Zhou to arrange work? I had never dared to tell my mom, but it all slipped out when my mom demanded to help my eldest brother and second brother solve their work issues.

I originally thought my mom would be very angry that I kept it from her, but instead she apologized, saying it was her past mistakes that made me so guarded with her.

She also said she would strive to be a qualified mother in the future, letting me interact with each elder according to my heart, saying she wouldn’t be jealous anymore and would prove through her actions to make me truly willing to be close to her. Chuxia, can you understand my current feelings?"

"I understand." Chuxia breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking about how Lan Ailian would change, but never expected such a big change, if it wasn’t for her genuine love for her daughter, a person wouldn’t have such a transformative change.

It also showed that Yun Doudou’s previous runaway truly touched Lan Ailian deeply, sometimes people are just like that, only when they almost lose a loved one do they truly cherish them doubly.

But fortunately, Lan Ailian realized not too late, with plenty of time to connect and make amends with her daughter.

And the happiest part is, this change happened before the wedding, before more harm could happen.

All the obstacles for Yun Doudou and Zhou Hanliang’s wedding were on the Yun family’s side, since this side’s issues have been resolved, tomorrow’s wedding will be perfect.

After hanging up the phone, everyone was all smiles.

Everyone is friends, and the two weddings are held together, if there were any unpleasantness, it would be awkward for everyone. Now it’s great, everyone can truly relax.

Weddings of this era are different from the future, not waking up early for makeup and hairstyles, and wedding dresses were not even a thing, the three only got up at six-thirty for washing.

In fresh military uniforms with gleaming shoes, hair neatly combed and tucked behind the ears, a little red flower pinned on the chest, the bride was ready.

Even though it was all seemingly smooth, Fat Auntie couldn’t hold back her tears when she saw her newly adorned daughter, Zhao Yulan jokingly teased her: "Cha Xiang, who said last night their daughter found a good husband, finally married, mind settled, just waiting for grandchildren?"

"Did you forget your own feelings from back then?" Fat Auntie laughed while wiping her tears, "These are tears of joy, I’m happy, why are you playing dumb with me?"

Dagang’s Grandma smiled with her eyes squinted: "Yes, it’s a happy event, marrying off a daughter well, not being mistreated at her husband’s family, is a lifelong blessing, it’s even happier than a son marrying a good wife."

Fat Auntie nodded: "Auntie, you truly speak my heart, right now I’m just happy, with a bit of sadness, although she couldn’t stay at home if not married, at least she belonged to the Luo family.
