The reason the wedding is so rushed is because Cecilia Gu's pregnancy is starting to show.
Charles Yin feels sorry for Cecilia and doesn't want her to have to walk down the aisle with a big belly.
But he also wants to give Cecilia a perfect wedding, so he keeps moving the date forward.
Fortunately, none of the three families lack money.
Even though time is tight, with enough manpower, everything was prepared quickly.
That day, Cecilia was in the villa discussing cake and glassware details for the wedding with Mo Zixuan and Mu Ruona when Aunt Zhang came to report: "Young Madam, the biological mother of the Second Young Master is here, crying and asking to see you."
Ma Yan?
Didn't she run off with someone?
Why is she coming back to find me now?
Mu Ruona scoffed, "Ignore her! That woman is a real piece of work. She raised such a daughter and can't behave herself either, and now she has the nerve to come looking for you?"
Cecilia Gu put down the list in her hand and said, "She's still Ethan's mother. For his sake, I should meet her."
Mo Zixuan nodded and said, "Just meet her, that's all. Don't listen to anything else."
Cecilia told Mrs. Zhang, "Let her wait for me in the reception room."
As soon as Cecilia stood up, Rona Muir and Mo Zixuan stood up as well. "We'll go with you. That crazy woman might do something unpredictable, we're worried about you."
"Alright." Cecilia nodded, and the three of them headed to the reception room together.
From a distance, Cecilia saw May Yan sitting on the sofa, crying her eyes out.
Other people cry delicately and look pitiful.
But this was like the Yellow River breaking its banks—a total flood!
"What do you want from me?" Cecilia frowned slightly as she approached. Where had May Yan come back from? Why did she look so miserable?
She knew that Ethan Yin sent money to her account every month.
So why was she so down and out?
"Mrs. Yin, I'm sorry! Please don't abandon me!" May Yan wailed as she tried to throw herself at Cecilia.
Mu Ruona panicked when she saw this.
With the way May Yan was charging, she'd definitely knock Cecilia over if she made contact!
Mu Ruona quickly pulled Cecilia behind her.
May Yan didn't expect Mu Ruona's move, so she missed and fell flat on the floor with a thud!
Mo Zixuan couldn't help but laugh. "Mrs. Ma, why the grand gesture?"
May Yan got up from the carpet, looking embarrassed.
"So what is it you want?" Cecilia looked calmly at May Yan.
"Mrs. Yin, I really know I was wrong. Please let me come back, I swear I won't cause any more trouble! For Ethan's sake, please forgive me! My son already has a wife, and I, as his mother-in-law, haven't even met my daughter-in-law. My heart aches!" May Yan sobbed, wiping her tears.
Mu Ruona and Mo Zixuan couldn't help but roll their eyes at the same time.
Ugh, what a headache.
What did Ethan Yin do in his past life to end up with a mother like this?
She's set him up time and again—he almost turned out wrong.
Luckily, he learned early on how to keep his distance and play along. Otherwise, just look at what happened to May Yan!
May Yan already messed up her daughter, and now she wants to come back and ruin her only son too?
Where does she get all this confidence?
Cecilia calmly said, "That's impossible. The matriarch has made it clear: since you chose to leave, the Yin Family will no longer support you. Whatever Ethan gives you is his filial duty as a son, but it has nothing to do with the Yin Family anymore."
May Yan sat down on the carpet, slapping her thigh and wailing, "You heartless people! I gave birth to a son for the Yin Family! How can you just throw me away like this?"
May Yan pulled out her street shrew tricks and started making a scene in front of Cecilia.
Cecilia was no stranger to this kind of thing.
Her Grandma Gu and Aunt Linda were experts at this back in the day.
Cecilia calmly told Mrs. Zhang, "Let security take her out. From now on, she's not allowed in."
Seeing that Cecilia wasn't falling for her act, May Yan jumped up from the carpet and said, "Fine, fine, I'll go! But even if the Yin Family doesn't care about me, I can still see my son, right? I can meet my daughter-in-law, can't I?"
Cecilia shot her a sharp look. "Your daughter-in-law? They're not even married yet. You're calling her that too soon. Besides, the person listed in the Yin Family genealogy as mother-in-law is my mother-in-law, Jiang Xue. As for you, you have no connection to the Yin Family. So if Wei Ziyu calls anyone 'mother-in-law,' it's Jiang Xue, not you."
May Yan was at a loss for words. "Then can I at least meet her?"
"Why do you want to meet her? To have her wait on you? Serve you tea and water?" Cecilia shot back.
"I..." May Yan was speechless.
That really was what she was thinking!
Otherwise, why did she come back?
Of course she wanted to enjoy her life and exercise her rights as a mother-in-law!
Since that woman married her son, she obviously wanted to keep her under control!
Otherwise, what if that woman bullies her son?
"You'd better give up on that idea," Cecilia said coldly. "The Yin Family doesn't need outsiders meddling in our affairs."
Cecilia instructed Mrs. Zhang, "Show her out."
Mrs. Zhang immediately called for security.
Seeing she got nothing out of this, May Yan was unwilling to give up and pressed on, "Fine, since I can't be the mother-in-law, can I at least ask about my daughter?"
Mu Ruona and Mo Zixuan exchanged glances.
Some people really become invincible when they hit rock bottom!
Angela Ma did what she did, and May Yan can't escape blame.
And now she still has the nerve to ask about Angela Ma?
If she really cared about her daughter, where was she before?
Angela Ma has been sent offshore for ages now.
And now she suddenly remembers to ask?
Cecilia couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. "You really miss your daughter, huh? Want me to send you to see her?"

May Yan immediately asked, "Will you cover food and lodging?"
Mu Ruona couldn't help but laugh. "Of course!"
May Yan's eyes lit up. "And will you give me money?"
Mo Zixuan laughed too. "Sure!"
May Yan's eyes got even brighter. "Are there men there?"
Cecilia, Mu Ruona, and Mo Zixuan were all speechless at the same time!
Even Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand it anymore!
What kind of person is this?
Cecilia immediately turned to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Go get Ethan Yin for me!"
Mrs. Zhang responded right away and went to contact Ethan Yin.
When Ethan Yin heard his biological mother was causing trouble again, he rushed over by car.
Not only did Ethan Yin come, but Wei Ziyu came along too.
Apparently, they were on a date when the call came.
Cecilia didn't care about interrupting their date and asked Ethan directly, "Ethan, your mom wants to go see Angela Ma. What do you think?"
Ethan's face instantly turned green.
His mom running off with someone was one thing, but going offshore was another.
Once you go offshore, there's no coming back!
Even if you could come back...
Why would the Yin Family stir up trouble with those forces just for May Yan?
Seeing Ethan didn't say anything, May Yan got upset and started making a scene again: "You heartless thing! I gave birth to you and raised you, and now you don't care if I live or die! You lied to me, saying Angela was punished? What kind of punishment is this? She has food, a place to stay, money, and men—it's paradise! Why did you tell me my daughter was being punished?"
Everyone present was speechless.
Ethan was so angry he couldn't speak.
Wei Ziyu looked completely confused.
She had no idea what was going on.
She didn't even know who this shrewish woman was.
At that moment, May Yan finally noticed Wei Ziyu.
She rushed over to Wei Ziyu, looked her up and down, and asked, "Are you Ethan's wife?"
Wei Ziyu blushed and said, "No, we're not married yet..."
"I'm your mother-in-law!" May Yan said impatiently. "Do you have any money on you...?"
"Enough!" Ethan shouted. "Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Didn't you say you'd never come back to N City? Don't I send you money every month? Why did you have to come back?"
May Yan stubbornly retorted, "I'm your real mother! Can't I come back and ask my son to support me? Now that you have a wife, you don't want your own mother anymore?"
Wei Ziyu was stunned, standing off to the side!
She knew Ethan was born out of wedlock, but she never imagined her future mother-in-law would be like this!
Thankfully, she didn't have to call her 'mother-in-law,' but Jiang Xue instead!
Otherwise, she'd be furious.
Wei Ziyu looked to Cecilia for help.
Cecilia just shook her head.
This was their family business—they had to handle it themselves.
Ethan also felt ashamed and said to Cecilia, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for the trouble! I'll take my mom away and won't let her disturb you again."
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, May Yan immediately protested, "She's just your sister-in-law, not your real mother! Why are you so polite to her? You heartless thing! Not only do you refuse to speak up for me, you even say..."
Ethan quickly covered May Yan's mouth and said to Cecilia, "Sorry! Sorry! Everyone, I'm really sorry! I'll take her away now!"
Without waiting for May Yan to resist, Ethan dragged her out.
Wei Ziyu stood there in a daze. Only after Ethan dragged May Yan away did she snap out of it and quickly bow to Cecilia. "Sorry, I'll go too!"
Cecilia nodded, speechless as she watched the three of them leave in disarray. She muttered, "What kind of bad luck is this? How did Ethan end up with a mother like that?"
Mu Ruona couldn't help but comment, "I think May Yan's character is exactly why Yin Hao used her! If she had any sense, why would she show off in front of Jiang Xue? Why would Yin Hao use her as a pawn? Only fools are fit for that!"
Mo Zixuan silently gave a thumbs up.
Cecilia thought about it and realized that was probably true.
