《If We Cannot Grow Old Together》C22. The Girl with a Mask
Advertisement
Hearing that Qiaosheng won’t blame her, Xia Wanyan feels greatly relieved and leaves him alone without further disturbance. Obediently she retrieves from his office.
As soon as she is out of the door, Li Qiaosheng slightly lifts a corner of his mouth, his eyes full of disdain.
If she had come round and confessed all her mistakes honestly instead of complaining about her being wronged, he would possibly forgive her.
However, things turns out that she has not realized her mistakes at all, and it killed his last bit of tender affection for her. From now on, he will think about nothings but how to make her pay the price she deserves...
As for his father’s death, since Li Qiaosheng now knows about the love between his father and Mu Ziyou’ s mother, he can understand why his father would sacrifice his own life to protect Mu Ziyou from injury in that car accident.
He thinks about his mother’s death. If Mu Ziyou killed her by accident, it is more tolerable than Xia Wanyan’s pushing his mother downstairs on purpose and her fabricating lies to deceive him.
The date of their wedding is still on the due schedule only because he wants to see if Mu Ziyou will show up at the wedding.
As for getting the marriage license, Li Qiaosheng applies various excuses to get it postponed.
Xia Wanyan at this time feels guilty in heart for the filthy deeds she committed, which were exposed by Zhang Lan. She therefore has no gut to force Li Qiaosheng to acquire the marriage license before the wedding. Since everybody in the city knows about their due wedding, why should she worry about his refusal to get the marriage license later?
Though it is the first wedding for Xia Wanyan, yet the second one for Li Qiaosheng, which means this wedding cannot be too luxurious.

Fortunately, her father did a lot of work behind to ensure his daughter a happy wedding: he contacted various TV stations secretly, asking them to give live broadcasting on the scene!
There comes the big day finally. Xia Wanyan is called up early in the morning for make-up and dress-up.
Not allowed to eat freely, she could only satisfy her stomach with water. As a result, she drank too much and has to go to the ladies’ room carrying her somewhat heavy wedding dress.
Suddenly someone behind calls her to stop. The girl, with a mask, claiming to be the assistant of the dresser, comes to help her with the wedding dress.
With her help, Xia Wanyan finally answers the call of nature. While washing her hands, the masked girl suddenly reveals her complete face, exactly the face of the dead Mu Ziyou!
“You, you are... You’re still alive?!” Being terribly astonished, Xia Wanyan quickly regains her mind.
Mu Ziyou smiles slightly. “Yeah, I’m still alive. Once I stand in front of Qiaosheng, he will be charged with the offence of bigamy and your marriage will be void consequently.”
"No! No. Youyou, I apologize for what I have done to you. All is all my fault. You can punish me in whatever way you like. But it’s me that Brother Qiaosheng loves. We have been through a lot and finally are able to be together. Please, please leave us alone, will you?” Xia Wanyan will never let her ruin the wedding, so she has to give in. She almost kneels down in front of her and begs bitterly for her mercy.
On hearing her words, Mu Ziyou can’t help muttering, “Yes, the one he loves has always been you, never me.”
“Youyou, I can apologize to you in anyway you like, but it is my wedding day today. You may come if you want, but never take off the mask please, OK? I...”
“You think too much. I have no interest in spoiling your wedding with Li Qiaosheng. Xia Wanyan, I just come to ask you about one thing-what role did you play in my mother’s death?!” Mu Ziyou doesn’t want to waste time on her. Interrupting her nagging utterance, Mu gets directly to the point.
Vicious to Such an Extent ahead.
