Qiao Dongliang had intended to meet his mother-in-law first before giving Ding Jiayi a surprise during the wedding. Who would have known that he would be shocked instead of being pleasantly surprised?
After hearing Mother Ding's words, Qiao Dongliang had decided to simply act as though Mother Ding had never appeared for fear of hurting Ding Jiayi's feelings. Anyway, Ding Jiayi had already been prepared to not have any of her relatives present at her wedding.
It was not that Qiao Dongliang did not have any opinion on Ding Jiayi's bias toward Qiao Zijin. It was just that Qiao Dongliang had told himself that Ding Jiayi had had it tough in the Ding family and had willingly married him to live such a life. As a man, he could not possibly treat his wife poorly.
