Luo Ziling certainly did not want to embarrass everyone or have any awkward moments at today’s wedding.
Therefore, he immediately smiled and said loudly, "In fact, we still have to thank both those who treat us well and those who don’t. Those who don’t treat us well made us realize what is truly precious and worth cherishing for a lifetime. Family ties are invaluable, and this is something we’ve felt throughout long periods of separation, so we will cherish our family reunion days even more in the future. For those who treat us well, you’ve let us feel the beauty of life, and we hope you will continue to treat us well. We will be grateful for a lifetime!"
After pausing for a moment, Luo Ziling continued, "Actually, the process isn’t always important; what matters is the result. Today, I, this son, can stand here and host my parents’ wedding, which is a miracle, just for this alone, I must thank everyone. I think all the guests are also very lucky because you have witnessed this miracle with us. Witnessing a miracle, isn’t that worth an applause?"
Saying this, Luo Ziling pitifully looked at the people below the stage.
Immediately, applause thundered, and people with all kinds of emotions clapped enthusiastically with others.
Yang Qingyin, standing next to Luo Ziling, almost burst into laughter at his last words.
Dong Xiaowan, Wang Feiyang, Wang Hanying, Cao Jianhui, and others were yelling and jumping, trying to lift the atmosphere.
Initially, upon seeing so many big shots, Dong Xiaowan and the others were a bit nervous and awkward, but Luo Ziling’s uninhibited and sentimental speeches on stage made them feel that there was no need for restraint at today’s wedding; they could enjoy the occasion freely.
Therefore, they worked hard to liven up the atmosphere.
Wang Feiyang also showed excitement without any sense of reserve, and they abandoned their worries, creating an unrestrained merriment.
After the applause and cheers died down, Yang Qingyin stepped forward slightly, raised the microphone, and began to speak.
"True feelings are seen in times of adversity; their twenty-plus years of perseverance have given them a perfect result today, which is indescribably precious and deeply engraved in memory. But I know, the newlyweds most desire everyone’s blessings. Those most willing to give them blessings are certainly their parents. Please welcome Mr. Ling Mingrui and Ms. Xie Enhua, as well as Mr. Luo Liansheng!"
Upon hearing Yang Qingyin’s words, several people were stunned, including Luo Ziling, and Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng, who were seated backstage.
None of them expected Yang Qingyin to invite both sets of parents to the stage for speeches in front of everyone.
Ling Mingrui and Xie Enhua, as well as Luo Liansheng, felt the same.
Since no one had informed them beforehand that they would be giving speeches on stage.
They were supposed to go on stage, but the timing was after the appearance of "newlyweds" Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan, not before their appearance.
Luo Ziling looked at her in surprise, and Yang Qingyin playfully smiled.
Although Ling Mingrui was a bit surprised, he cheerfully stood up, took Xie Enhua’s hand, and walked onto the stage.
Luo Liansheng moved even faster than them, reaching the stage before Ling Mingrui and Xie Enhua had even walked up.
He grabbed the microphone from Luo Ziling and addressed everyone, "Actually, I don’t have much to say. What I feel the most fortunate about is that they gave me a grandson twenty-one years ago. This grandson is my greatest pride in life. Just because my son and daughter-in-law gave me such an outstanding grandson, I feel that whatever I’ve gone through over the years has been worthwhile. I hope he grows up safe and healthy, and for those who wish him ill, please show mercy. Thank you all, and thank you, everyone!"
At this time, Ling Mingrui and Xie Enhua just arrived on stage.
Luo Liansheng then added a couple more sentences: "Thank you to my in-laws; they have given birth to such an outstanding daughter. She is so remarkable that my son has remained infatuated for over twenty years. However, I know my in-laws must have some criticisms of my son, so now let’s hear them complain a bit in front of everyone!"
Saying this, Luo Liansheng passed the microphone to Ling Mingrui with a smiling face.
Ling Mingrui did not expect Luo Liansheng to say this and took the microphone with a bit of mixed feelings.
"Let me first say this: I have great admiration for my in-law. Not only do I admire him, but so does my father!" As Ling Mingrui spoke, a spotlight briefly shone on Ling Jinhua before quickly moving away. As many people glanced at Ling Jinhua, Ling Mingrui continued, "In my younger years, I greatly admired him; I was no match for him in either literary or martial pursuits. In literary talent, I couldn’t match him, and in fighting, he was superior, especially when it came to healing and saving lives. Unfortunately, due to some changes, we didn’t see each other for more than ten years afterward."
At this point, Ling Mingrui reached out to hold Luo Liansheng’s arm and said with a smile, "His son is also excellent, and I greatly approve of such a son-in-law. But as for Luo, what he is most accomplished in is raising a good grandson. I believe that everyone has heard many stories about my grandson, who, after just over a year in Yanjing, has already accomplished so many miracles and saved many lives. Luo Ziling is not only Luo’s pride, my daughter’s pride, but also mine. We, as his grandparents, are proud to have such an outstanding grandson!"
Luo Ziling, standing to the side, was a bit embarrassed as he did not expect Ling Mingrui to praise him so openly.
After praising Luo Ziling for a few sentences, Ling Mingrui talked about Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan.
He said that due to some past grievances, his daughter and son-in-law hadn’t been able to step into the hall of marriage, which was their biggest regret. Today, that regret was finally remedied, and he was very happy.
After speaking a few more sentences, Ling Mingrui seemed to fully immerse himself in the role, confessing his heartfelt thoughts in front of everyone.
"Ruonan, there is no one in this world who wishes for your happiness more than your mother and I," Ling Mingrui said emotionally, gazing at Xie Enhua standing beside him, "So many years have passed, and I can never forget the day you were born."
"That day, standing by the delivery room door, when the doctor handed you, just born, to me and told me you were a daughter, I smiled with pride. It’s often said that a daughter is a father’s lover from a past life, and I’ve always felt that way. When you cried in my arms, I smiled very happily. Back then, you were so tiny that I was worried I might inadvertently break your delicate fingers. So, in those days after you were born, I constantly reminded your mother and the babysitter to be extremely careful and not to hurt you. You were adorable from birth, and you only got cuter. When you started smiling at me happily, I promised that I would never let you suffer any grievances and that you would lead a happy life."
As he spoke of this, Ling Mingrui’s eyes turned red!
