Chapter 614: Underhanded Betrayal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ning Yuting forcefully pushed away Jiao Qinqin and continued to leave.

Jiao Qinqin chased after him, hugging him from behind, crying, “Yuting, 1 was wrong, 1 regret it. I shouldn’t have left you back then. I am willing to make amends. Can you give me another chance?”

“Impossible!!!”

“Remember, don’t come looking for me again, nor for Qingyue. Otherwise, I will tell Liu Wenzhao everything about what you did today.” Ning Yuting harshly pulled away Jiao Qinqin’s hands and kicked open the door to leave quickly.

Jiao Qinqin suddenly snapped back to reality, shuddering with fear. If Liu Wenzhao found out about today’s incident, she would be doomed.

Shocked, scared, and regretful, she fell to the ground and burst into tears.

She finally realized that she could never go back to how things were with Ning Yuting. The things she once discarded carelessly no longer belonged to her.

At the Ning Residence.

Ning Yuting returned home with an extremely grim expression, startling Chunli. “Young Master, what happened?”

“Who gave you the letter you brought me this afternoon?”

“No one gave it to me. The letter was on the desk in your study. I was worried you were too busy to see it and it might cause a delay, so I brought it to you…” Ning Yuting took a deep breath. “Who visited the residence today?”

Chunli thought for a moment. “Miss Shuangshuang came back, but she left soon after.”

Ning Shuangshuang!!

Ning Shuangshuang had a good relationship with Jiao Qinqin. It was entirely possible she helped deliver the letter for Jiao Qinqin.

Ning Yuting was furious. This traitor!

He went to the study to write a letter and asked the servant to send it to Ning Shuangshuang immediately.

With his wedding imminent, it was not the time for extra troubles. He would settle the accounts after the wedding!

Ning Shuangshuang was flustered. She hadn’t even eaten dinner. Her cousin wasn’t a fool. After seeing Jiao Qinqin, he would definitely know that she was the one who sent the letter. Why had she acted so impulsively?

In her unease, a maid came in. “Madam, you have a letter.”

Ning Shuangshuang hurriedly opened the letter. “If you dare to act recklessly again, 1 will immediately cut off all business dealings between the Ning family and your husband’s family.”

The words on the letter turned Ning Shuangshuang’s face pale, and she trembled with fear.

I don’t dare anymore, I don’t dare anymore…

At the Chu Residence.

Chu Qingzhi, Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingning, Chu Qingshuang, and Chu Qingyan, the five sisters, lay side by side on the same bed.

Chu Qingning turned to look at Chu Qingyue’s gentle profile. “Second Sister, are you nervous?”

Chu Qingyue’s heart was pounding. “Nervous, but also looking forward to it.”

“Second Sister is about to get married. Time passes so quickly.” Chu Qingshuang said, lying flat and gazing upwards, her voice tinged with reluctance.

Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “Don’t you want me to get married?”

Chu Qingshuang turned to face Chu Qingyue. “1 do, but I can’t bear it. We grew up together, and suddenly you are going to someone else’s home…”

As she spoke, Chu Qingshuang couldn’t help but cry.

Chu Qingyue quickly sat up and handed her a handkerchief. “It’s okay, you can come to see me.”

Chu Qingshuang hugged Chu Qingyue, crying, “Second Sister…”

Chu Qingning and Chu Qingyan also started crying, and Chu Qingyue couldn’t comfort them all. “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll come home often to see you, okay? It’s not like we won’t be able to see each other ever again, right?”

Chu Qingzhi brought two handkerchiefs, one for each, and watched this crying scene with mixed emotions.

After crying for a while, the sisters finally calmed down.

Chu Qingyan cooed, “Second Sister, you said you will come home often. Don’t lie to us.”

“I will, very often.”

The sisters chatted together until late into the night before finally going to sleep.

As the first light of dawn appeared outside the window, the voice of Matchmaker Chu could be heard from outside the room, “Qingyue, it’s time to get up and bathe.”

When Ning Yuting went to the Chu family to propose marriage, he asked Matchmaker Chu to be the matchmaker. Now that he was getting married, she was also there to oversee the wedding procedure.

Chu Qingyue sat up abruptly from the bed, “Alright, I’m getting up.”

“It’s dawn!” Everyone woke up, got dressed, and started assisting with the preparations for Chu Qingyue’s wedding.

First came the bath and change of clothes. Li Qingyu had already prepared hot water, so Chu Qingyue went straight for her bath.

“Fifth sister, can you come in and help me?” Chu Qingyue, feeling the nerves of a bride-to-be, would find comfort in having Chu Qingzhi with her.

“Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi sprinkled a mix of purple jasmine and jasmine petals into the bath, creating a beautiful sight as they floated on the water’s surface.

While scattering the petals, Chu Qingzhi used her spiritual energy to extract some of the jasmine oil, ensuring the fragrance would last until the wedding night.

Chu Qingyue scooped up some water to smell, “It’s so fragrant.”

“This scent will last until your wedding night,” teased Chu Qingzhi, then went to help Chu Qingyue wash her hair.

Chu Qingyue’s hair was long, straight, and elegant, with a quality many girls would envy.

The mention of “wedding night” made Chu Qingyue shyly lower her head, wondering what Yuting was doing at this moment.

Ning Yuting also rose early. On the wedding day, there were many intricate preparations to be made, especially for picking up the bride. He didn’t want any mistakes.

“Qingyue, are you done bathing?” Li Qingyu entered with a tray, concerned that Chu Qingyue might be hungry. She had prepared a lot of food for her early in the morning.

On the wedding day, the bride can eat something in the morning, but she cannot eat anything after that until the wedding night.

“Coming, Mother.” Chu Qingyue emerged, dressed in two layers of bridal attire, her hair still wet and wrapped in a towel.

Li Qingyu pulled Chu Qingyue to sit down, “Let me dry your hair while you eat.” Saying this, her eyes slightly reddened.

“Thank you, Mother.”

Li Qingyu let down Chu Qingyue’s long hair and gently wiped it. As she wiped, she smiled in relief. Her daughter had grown up. From today onwards, she would be a wife…

Granny Chu walked in. “Qingyue, eat more. You won’t be able to eat until tonight.”

Chu Qingyue smiled, “Granny, I know.”

Granny Chu patted Chu Qingyue’s head and smiled kindly. “Good girl.”

After eating, the formal bridal dressing began.

The hairdresser was specially invited by Ning Yuting. Skilled and efficient, she completed the bridal hairstyle in half an hour.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The makeup was naturally Chu Qingyan’s responsibility. The young girl had brought her makeup tools early, “Second Sister, I’ll make sure to give you the most beautiful bridal makeup that will stun your husband-to-be.”

Chu Qingyue looked forward, “I trust you.”

Half an hour later, Chu Qingyan held up a mirror, “Second Sister, take a look, isn’t it beautiful?”
