Chapter 170 Showdown
As the bridesmaid, Xia Qing doesn't actually need to do anything. She just needs to rehearse in advance and then go on stage on the wedding day.

Taking into account Xia Qing's identity and the special circumstances of the relationship between Xiaoxi and Lin Guzhi, Du Bin and Xiong Shuang moved up the rehearsal time so that Lin Guzhi, Xia Qing and Xiaoxi could familiarize themselves with the ceremony process and understand what needed to be done on the wedding day.

Of course, Doberman and Xiong Shuang still had to go through the process the day before the wedding to ensure that there would be no problems with the ceremony.

They were worried that Xiaoxi couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so they thought that if the advance rehearsal didn't work, they would let Xiaoxi rehearse again the day before the wedding. But they didn't expect Xiaoxi to be so good that she only followed them once and did her job accurately. She also remembered everything in her mind and could repeat it perfectly without any prompts.

This made Xia Qing and Xiong Shuang couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Xi is awesome!"

But this is also because the best man, bridesmaid and flower girl are just foils and only need to cooperate. The protagonists of the wedding are still Doberman and Xiong Shuang, and the more troublesome ones are the bride and groom.

——Although Xiaoxi remembered the movements accurately, it formed a sharp contrast with the other little boy, the flower girl.

After the rehearsal, Xia Qing held Xiaoxi and Lin Guzhi and sat under the T-shaped ceremony stage in the hotel. She watched Doberman Xiong Shuang interact with the host and couldn't help complaining, "It turns out that wedding ceremonies have to be rehearsed in advance. It's really not romantic at all!"

Lin Guzhi smiled and said, "Why do you still want to improvise?"

Xia Qing said, "No... I just felt bad for a while. But if I want to be in my best condition at the wedding, I really need to rehearse in advance. I also need to rehearse for the concert."

Lin Guzhi asked: "Have you ever held a concert?"

Xia Qing shook her head: "No, I don't want to hold a concert. I've been a guest at two other people's concerts before and I felt so tired. If I hold my own concert, I'll be exhausted."

After she finished talking about this topic, she began to wander, her thoughts drifting for a while, and asked Lin Guzhi: "Uncle, what do you think our wedding will be like when we get married?"

Lin Guzhi said: "It is what you think it is."

"hey-hey!"

Xia Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, you are so perfunctory!" But even though she complained like this, she was not angry. Instead, she took pictures while talking, and took pictures of Du Bin, Xiong Shuang, Lin Guzhi and Xiao Xi.

She took a photo and a photo for her mother Yang Xiuxin, and then Yang Xiuxin complained: "When did you become so talkative? In the past, you would take a long time to respond to me when I talked to you. Now you take a photo every now and then. Do you think I am a photo library?"

Seeing Yang Xiuxin's words, Xia Qing stuck out her tongue and showed it to Lin Guzhi.

After Lin Guzhi finished reading, she replied to Yang Xiuxin in voice: "No, mom, it's not like I don't have a gallery on my phone, I just wanted to share it with you."

She sent a voice message, and Yang Xiuxin followed suit: "Hey, look at Du Bin and Xiong Shuang, they're both married, when can you get married?"

Xia Qing: "Mom, you want me to get married so much."

Yang Xiuxin: "Of course, but it's a pity that you don't want to go on a blind date. Why don't you find one yourself and don't let me worry about it. I'm anxious to have a grandson, or a granddaughter. It would be best if the granddaughter is like Xiaoxi."

Xia Qing: "Then I'll find you myself, don't disagree."

Yang Xiuxin: "Don't find me a Doberman like this, I will definitely agree."

Xia Qing: "Mom, why do you think so lowly of Doberman? What's wrong with him?"

Yang Xiuxin: "The young man is not bad, but he is not suitable to be a son-in-law."

Xia Qing: "Yeah, I won't look for him." Yang Xiuxin: "Then who are you looking for?" She didn't wait for Xia Qing to answer, and suddenly realized, "Lin Guzhi?!"

Xia Qing was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Yang Xiuxin: "I should have thought of it earlier! I was wondering why you sent me his photos every day recently. So this is your purpose!"

Hearing what Yang Xiuxin said, Xia Qing fortunately stopped pretending: "Hehe, you found out! What do you think, Mom? Don't you like Xiaoxi? This way, Xiaoxi can be your granddaughter directly. How great is it to have the best of both worlds!"

She had read a lot of strategies during this period of time and had also prepared herself mentally, so when she was talking to Yang Xiuxin, she was not nervous and stuttering.

After she said this, she waited for a while, but still saw no reply from Yang Xiuxin, and she couldn't help but become nervous again.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Yang Xiuxin finally replied and said seriously, "Bring Lin Guzhi over here tonight and we'll talk in person."

After listening to this reply, Xia Qing pursed her lips, glanced at Lin Guzhi, and after seeing Lin Guzhi nod, she replied with one word: Yeah.

However, she typed this reply and did not send any voice message.

Lin Guzhi took Xia Qing's hand and said, "It's okay, I'm here."

"Ah."

Xia Qing nodded, feeling relieved, but still couldn't help feeling nervous.

After a while, Du Bin and Xiong Shuang on the stage communicated with the host about the process, came down from the stage and walked over. Xiong Shuang saw Xia Qing's serious face and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Wasn't it fine just now?"

Xia Qing said: "I...I had a showdown with my mother."

Xiong Shuang was slightly stunned, and said to Xia Qing with admiration: "You are braver than me. I had been planning for such a long time, but I was not ready to show my hand. In the end, I had to show my hand because I accidentally got pregnant. I didn't expect you to be so straightforward."

Xia Qing said: "Senior sister, didn't you say you had other ways before?"

Xiong Shuang shook his head and laughed, saying, "No way! I was just too nervous to reveal my true colors, so I made up a random excuse to deceive Doberman."

Lin Guzhi and Xia Qing were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that Xiong Shuang, who always looked confident and capable, would be nervous about these things. However, Lin Guzhi was not sure whether Xiong Shuang said this specifically to comfort Xia Qing.

As for Xia Qing, she had no doubts at all. She just heard that Xiong Shuang had the same anxiety as her, and unconsciously felt relieved.

Doberman was listening to Xiong Shuang's words and his face suddenly fell. He felt aggrieved but didn't dare to speak.

Lin Guzhi glanced at Doberman and thought that this guy was really subdued by Xiong Shuang.

After saying goodbye to Du Bin and Xiong Shuang, Lin Guzhi and Xia Qing took Xiao Xi to Yang Xiuxin's house.

Yang Xiuxin had been waiting at home for a long time. When Lin Guzhi and Xia Qing arrived, she went to the door and opened it. Seeing Lin Guzhi and Xia Qing coming in together, she smiled at Lin Guzhi and just said, "Come in first. Your father is not at home. Let's talk first."
