Although it was someone else's wedding, Li Keyi did not have any leisure time. She was a family member of the bride, and Xiao Sheng's family had basically all died. Therefore, the bride's side had to put in the effort to handle the wedding. Li Keyi was also busy and constantly directing waiters to serve dishes or greet relatives and friends attending the wedding.
Li Keyi somewhat regretted coming to Rongcheng. Before coming, she thought she was here to attend a wedding banquet, but after arriving, she realized she was here to help.
However, Li Keyi understood very well why she was being ordered around. It was because she was being treated as one of the family. If she were not family, such an important event as a wedding would not be entrusted to her for help. She made decisions on many matters, including the venue selection and decoration, and a large part of the arrangements were handled by Li Keyi.
At this moment, Li Keyi saw a familiar name on the guest list – Yu Renshu!
The first time she heard this name was when she learned that Yu Renshu had independently invented the method for manufacturing evolution base. At that time, Li Keyi felt that Yu Renshu was no ordinary woman, possessing such powerful scientific research capabilities. Later, she heard about the entanglement between Yu Renshu and Shen Feng, and Li Keyi began to feel jealous. Especially at sea, when Li Keyi personally killed the despicable villain Fang Qinghao, she also learned even more explosive news: Yu Renshu was pregnant with Shen Feng's child!
Li Keyi had kept this news hidden in her heart and had never told anyone else. After all, Shen Feng himself had denied abandoning his wife and child, and Li Keyi believed Shen Feng would not lie to her about this matter.
But at this moment, Li Keyi still wanted to know if this was true. So she immediately began searching for Yu Renshu in the crowd. Her efforts were rewarded, and Li Keyi indeed found Yu Renshu. She was sitting with her family, and beside Yu Renshu was a middle-aged woman, likely her mother, and a little girl, who was most likely Yu Renshu's child.
"Hello! It is a great honor for us to have you attend my sister's wedding. Please eat and drink well!" Li Keyi immediately went to Yu Renshu's side and began to greet the family.
Yu Renshu also replied with a smile at this time, "Not at all. Miss Shen Yu and I have known each other for a long time. How could I not be present when she is getting married?"
Li Keyi smiled, then looked at the little girl sitting beside her, offered her a candy, and asked, "Little girl, how old are you? What's your name?"
The little girl appeared very introverted and timid. When Li Keyi asked her, she hid behind her grandmother, looking afraid to answer.
"Don't be scared. Just answer whatever this aunt asks you, okay?" Qian Mingya quickly said to her granddaughter.
But the little girl was still very timid, hiding behind her grandmother, peeking out her head, and saying in a low voice, "My name is Yu Hongxiu, and I am eight years old."
Li Keyi began to ponder carefully. Calculating the time, the birth of this child coincided with the time Yu Renshu left Shen Feng. If what Fang Qinghao had said before was true, then this child was definitely Shen Feng's daughter.
"Could this be true? But Shen Feng clearly denied it before. Could it be that Shen Feng doesn't even know about this?" Li Keyi pondered in her heart, always finding the matter of this child rather strange.
Li Keyi continued to ask, "Your name is Yu Hongxiu, right? You take your mother's surname. Where is your father?"
Yu Hongxiu, however, hid behind her grandmother and did not answer the question at all.
Seeing Li Keyi pressing the issue, Yu Renshu quickly interjected, "Miss Li, you are also responsible for the operation of this wedding, aren't you? You are spending so much time with me now, which seems quite inappropriate."
Li Keyi was not angry at being interrupted. Instead, she reached out and stroked Yu Hongxiu's head, saying, "What a lovely little girl. I hope you grow up healthy and strong."
After saying these words, Li Keyi left directly. However, she now had her own suspicions. After Fang Qinghao had pursued Yu Renshu for a long time without success, Fang Qinghao became hostile towards Shen Feng, believing that Shen Feng had stolen his happiness. And Fang Qinghao had no reason to lie about this matter. Now, it seemed highly likely that Yu Renshu had given birth to a daughter for Shen Feng and had not explicitly stated it, leading Shen Feng to be completely unaware of the situation.
"Should I tell Shen Feng about this? But, knowing Shen Feng's personality, once he finds out about Yu Renshu's situation, he will probably try to take Yu Renshu back as well," Li Keyi thought to herself.
In Li Keyi's eyes, Yu Renshu was also a very proud and stubborn woman. Although she did not often participate in combat in normal times, she was still an ability user. Such a woman was also very outstanding, especially with a child by her side. If Shen Feng knew, he would surely dote on Yu Renshu even more.
"I'll just pretend I don't know. Anyway, Yu Renshu hasn't explicitly stated this matter. Why should I steal the spotlight?" Li Keyi thought to herself.
As Li Keyi left, Qian Mingya looked at her daughter and slowly said, "Yu Renshu, Yu Renshu, met the wrong person."
When Qian Mingya and her husband named their daughter, they hoped she would meet a good man and at least be treated well in the future. But now, Qian Mingya knew that her daughter had indeed met the wrong person; the scoundrel she liked had never appeared over the years.
Qian Mingya had been urging Yu Renshu to get married before, as it was too difficult for her to live alone with her daughter. Finding a good man to marry would prevent her from continuing to drift like a rootless duckweed. However, Yu Renshu refused her mother's suggestions every time. After all, she was an ability user and a scientific researcher, which was enough to support her family.
Yu Hongxiu looked at her grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what does it mean to 'meet the wrong person'?"
"You'll know when you grow up. Remember, don't be fooled by a few sweet words from men, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life," Qian Mingya did not want to explain the meaning of the word to her granddaughter, so she changed the subject.
The wedding proceeded very smoothly. General Xie from Rongcheng had even sent troops to maintain order, and a group from the Ability Administration was also present at the wedding. No one dared to cause trouble at this time, or they would be severely dealt with.
At the wedding, Li Keyi also presented a gift on behalf of Yuzhou. She wore a red dress and stood on the stage, saying, "Shen Feng is currently fighting on the front lines and cannot attend the wedding. However, Shen Yu is his sister, and therefore my sister. Yuzhou has prepared a grand gift for Shen Yu, which is ten ability potions!"
After saying this, someone immediately carried a box onto the wedding stage. Upon opening the box, it was revealed to have white sponge as cushioning, with ten slots in the sponge, where ten ability potions lay quietly.
This gift caused an uproar at the wedding. Ability potions were extremely precious, and it was impossible for an individual to obtain one in a lifetime under normal circumstances. Yet, at this moment, Yuzhou presented ten ability potions at the wedding. This was truly a grand gesture that ordinary people could not achieve.
Many people applauded and discussed, "Shen Feng is truly capable. I heard that Yuzhou already has fifty to sixty ability users. They can cultivate their own ability users every year, some of whom are orphans or meritorious individuals. Yuzhou must possess many ability potions."
"It must be so. Yuzhou must have sufficient ability potions, otherwise, how could they give out ten ability potions at once?" Others chimed in. Currently, in China, the place with the largest number of ability users was Yuzhou. No one knew where Shen Feng got so many ability potions from. Every year, he could select outstanding children from orphanages to be his disciples, a capability that other forces did not possess.
Shen Yu was also very grateful upon seeing the gift from Yuzhou. She then stood on the stage and said earnestly, "I am very happy that my brother and sister-in-law could send such a precious gift. I will give these gifts to my husband, Xiao Sheng, to use. Shen Feng is my dearest brother, and our bond will never change."
The rest of the guests applauded.
Xiao Sheng was also surprised. He hadn't expected Yuzhou to send such a valuable gift at this time. However, these ability potions were also what he urgently needed, as the Ability Administration also needed to expand its scale. With the ability potions sent by Shen Feng, Xiao Sheng could restore the Ability Administration to its former glory.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qian Mingya also looked at Yu Renshu beside her with envy, shaking her head. According to her earlier wishes, if her daughter brought her family to Yuzhou, she believed Shen Feng would not ignore them, and they could achieve a better life. But now, the family could only sit in the audience and watch Li Keyi stand in the spotlight, receiving applause from countless people below, even though Li Keyi had met Shen Feng much later.
It was a pity that all the glory now belonged to others. Yu Renshu was now insignificant. Although she was somewhat well-known in Rongcheng, not many people knew her in the entire China region. How could she compare to Li Keyi, who had married Shen Feng? The reputation she now possessed was, to a large extent, dependent on Shen Feng of Yuzhou.
Afterward, there was the traditional segment of thanking parents for their upbringing. Shen Xin and He Liping were brought onto the stage, and the newlyweds then kowtowed. Shen Xin and He Liping were very satisfied. Their daughter was finally married, which could be considered a long-awaited joy.
Now that their son had established himself and become the highly influential City Lord of Yuzhou, and their daughter had married the leader of an ability user organization, it could be said that the parents had done all they could. With both children having their own families, they could now enjoy the happiness of their descendants.
The entire wedding was recorded on video. Li Keyi took a copy with her when she returned to Yuzhou. Since Shen Feng had no time to attend the wedding, she would bring the video for him to watch as compensation. The train between Rongcheng and Yuzhou had reopened, and it only took half a day to reach Yuzhou.
Li Keyi would also be leaving in three days. At the train station, Shen Yu's family was also seeing her off. Li Keyi boarded the train with large bags of local specialties. He Liping quietly said to Li Keyi, "Have a child soon. You've been married to Shen Feng for so many years and haven't had any children. People will have opinions."
Li Keyi felt very awkward upon hearing this and replied, "I will try my best."
Li Keyi wished she could have a child, but it was impossible. She was a seventh-tier ability user, and having children was very difficult.
For women, childbirth is a lifespan-consuming act and places a great burden on the body. Many women's bodies begin to change after giving birth, which is a form of damage. As a seventh-tier ability user, Li Keyi's body possessed strong self-healing abilities. When an embryo gestates within the body, it is identified as a parasite, and it is killed in the embryonic stage. Therefore, pregnancy is extremely difficult.
