Chapter 272 Wedding 1!
Zheng Tong said:
“Yuan Jun, people’s pursuits are different. I’ll say something you don’t like to hear, but I think Luo Yun’s choice is actually the choice of the vast majority of people.”
"Bullshit, I'm not!"
Yuan Jun scoffed.
"Are you an oddball? Let me finish!"
Zheng Tong said:
"For most people, given a good choice, why would I choose the bad one? Given white flour buns and braised pork, why would I, by chance or because I'm stupid, insist on eating cornbread and pickled vegetables?"
"That doesn't conform to the logic of things. People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill—it's the same principle, isn't it? You, Yuan Jun, look down on Luo Yun simply because you think people use unethical and despicable methods to climb the social ladder. But that's a matter of character, and it's completely different from her choices, understand?"
Yuan Jun rolled his eyes.
"Zheng Tong, I think you've really gone crazy from reading too much. You're full of empty and unrealistic theories."
"If that's how you put it, then Xiaobai is the one who's being shameless. She went after that petty scoundrel Yuemin and clung to him relentlessly. It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."
Zhou Xiaobai grabbed a steamed bun from the table and threw it over, annoyed.
“Yuan Jun, you’re the one who’s being a jerk. Is Yue Min really as bad as you make him out to be? It’s just that I have good taste and recognized that he’s a rough gem that needs to be carefully polished. What do you guys know?”
"Yuemin, you've become jade!"
Zheng Tong joked, "Oh dear, I misjudged you back then. I thought you were just a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard!"
"Hahaha..." everyone laughed.
Yuan Jun held the steamed bun that Zhou Xiaobai had just tossed to him, took a bite, and mumbled:
"Yuemin, you should trust your wife Dr. Zhou's surgical skills. She'll definitely be able to carve you, this latrine stone, into a beautiful jade, haha!"
Zhong Yuemin smiled, not angry at all.
"You're all supposed to be educated, yet you only look at the surface. You need substance, you need to dig deeper, study, and explore the underlying meaning."
The stones in the latrine, smelly and hard, represent the fearless spirit of not fearing the hardships and dangers of life, not being afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and having a beautiful yearning and expectation for life.
Putting all that aside, even if you just finished pooping in the toilet and happened to forget about toilet paper, you can still wipe your bottom to tide you over, right? It's better than having your hands smell fresh!
His humor made everyone burst into laughter again.
Zhou Xiaobai slapped her own man, utterly speechless. He'd started off quite well, even touching, but then he started rambling and talking nonsense again.
"We're eating, talking about this is disgusting!"
At this moment, many more people entered through the hall entrance. Luo Yun's parents and the groom's parents all got up to go over. It seemed that important figures had arrived. It turned out to be Li Yuanchao and his parents. Given Li Hailong's rank, he was indeed quite influential.
Behind him, Li Yuanchao, dressed in a black suit, looked dashing, like a groom.
Yuan Jun said, "Hey, Yuemin, this is going to be interesting. Li Yuanchao used to date Luo Yun. I hope he doesn't cause any trouble."
"That was ages ago, and you never even dated Luo Yun!"
Zhong Yuemin said, "Let's not worry about that. There's only one thing to do today: eat as much as you can and eat your way back the money you got in the red envelope!"
Having said that, he reached out and grabbed a steamed bun, handing it to his wife.
"Eat, eat more, don't go hungry."
The wedding went smoothly without any major mishaps. Afterwards, Zhong Yuemin drove his wife home, and she sat in the passenger seat, reminiscing.
"Sigh...time flies. Luo Yun is already married. The wedding venue was beautifully decorated, wasn't it?"
"It's alright. After we get married, I'll arrange an even grander one for you. The banquet hall will have at least a hundred tables, a red carpet, and a wedding aisle that's twenty or thirty meters long, lined with all sorts of colorful flowers. You'll be wearing an arched floral wreath, and then, Xiaobai, you'll be wearing a white wedding dress, walking slowly towards the main stage under the gaze of everyone..."
Zhou Xiaobai was completely captivated by what she heard, pouting slightly.
"I haven't agreed to marry you yet!"
"What, you've slept with me so many times, are you trying to back out now?"
Zhou Xiaobai hits someone.
"You scoundrel! It must have cost a fortune to decorate like this!"
"I can't guarantee anything else from your man, but he'll definitely be good with money!"
Zhong Yuemin said domineeringly, "Don't worry about anything else, just be your bride."
"Hmph, trying to impress me!"
His lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
Zhong Yuemin said, "It's still early, let's go to the company and take care of some 'business'!"
He gave the girl a flirtatious look.
Zhou Xiaobai immediately understood what this rascal was up to. "It's broad daylight, why aren't you going? All you think about is that."
Zhong Yuemin immediately played the victim card.
"My family visit leave is almost over, and I don't know when we'll see each other again. We have to cherish every minute and every second."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai, who had been in a good mood, immediately became sad. Missing someone is truly a torment.
“Yuemin, you’ll probably be in the army for several years. We’ll be living apart. How about I talk to my dad and ask him to arrange for me to be transferred to the military hospital in your army? That way we can see each other every now and then.”
"Besides, it probably won't be that easy for your dad to arrange for you to return to the capital. Moreover, your dad has a special status, and countless eyes are watching him. You have to be careful with every move you make."
Zhong Yuemin said:
"You should stay in Beijing. I'm going back to the army. My dad will be all alone at home, so I'll need you to take care of him. We'll have plenty of time to be together after I'm discharged and return to Beijing."
"Who knows when that will be!"
"Wait a little longer, it'll be here soon!"
Half an hour later, they arrived at the company. The two of them had been up all day from noon until night, barely getting out of bed. They were incredibly exhausted. Luckily, they had eaten a lot at lunch, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to hold on. After dark, they took his wife home.
"How about we eat here tonight?"
"Forget it, your older brothers will just keep getting me drunk, and if I drink too much I won't be able to go back. I can't afford to sleep in your room at night."
Zhou Xiaobai's face flushed slightly, and she was annoyed.
"What are you thinking about? Just go to sleep. You're not doing anything else."
"I didn't say anything else, you're just overthinking it, aren't you?"
Zhong Yuemin smiled,
"Go upstairs, I'll leave after you've gone up."
"Then take your time going back!"
When I opened the door to get out of the car, my legs went weak and I almost fell.
"Are you okay?"
The girl glared at him fiercely, blushing, "It's all because of you!"
The person walked upstairs with a slightly awkward demeanor. After going upstairs, they drove away, not going home, but instead going to Qinling's house. Qinling and Li Yan were returning to Hong Kong Island the day after tomorrow, and there were some things they needed to discuss.
I had been here once before, so it wasn't unfamiliar. When I arrived at Qinling's apartment building, there was a car parked downstairs. The license plate was that of an embassy, which is quite rare.
Qin Ling lived in the staff quarters of the song and dance troupe. This building was full of ordinary employees; how could it have a license plate from an embassy? However, she didn't think much of it. She took the gifts from the trunk, went upstairs, and reached the third floor. Just as she entered the corridor, she heard a woman's dissatisfied voice from ahead.
"Hey, Mr. Li, you're a successful person, a respectable figure. Please show some respect to each other. Miss Qin has a boyfriend and is getting married soon, so please stop bothering her."
"Miss Li, please don't lie to me!"
Then came a man's voice.
"I met Ms. Qin on Hong Kong Island. Although it hasn't been a long time, it's not short either. I've attended every one of her concerts and TV performances. I've never met Ms. Qin's partner, nor have I heard that she has a boyfriend. I genuinely like Ms. Qin."
"So what if you like her? Mr. Li, don't forget that you have a family in Singapore. If you think you can use money to keep Qinling as your mistress, you've miscalculated. We don't lack money, and we won't be mistresses."
“If Miss Qin is willing to accept my confession, I can go back and divorce my ex-wife immediately. I mean what I say and I will never be perfunctory. Please believe me, my heart is completely sincere towards Miss Qin, and she is the only one in my heart. Please let me in so I can explain things to her properly.”
The woman scoffed, "That's just how men are. They're fickle, they fall in love with one after another, and they won't hesitate to dump their current partner for a new love. When they get tired of Qinling, they'll probably end up the same way."
Li Yan blocked the doorway, showing no intention of backing down, and said again:
"I've said enough. Please go back. Qinling doesn't want to see you either!"
The man stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to shout inside.
"Miss Qin, I know you're inside. Miss Qin, please give me another chance..."
"Hey, are you ever going to stop? If you keep this up, I'm calling the police."
"Sister Yan, what happened?"
At this moment, Zhong Yuemin came to the door and asked.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yuemin, you've finally come!"
He pulled the man closer, and behind Li Chuliang's back, gave his man a meaningful look. Zhong Yuemin understood immediately.
"You should take responsibility for your partner!"
Zhong Yuemin stood next to Li Yan, sizing up Qin Ling's suitor standing before him. He was young, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing glasses, and looked refined and cultured. Coupled with his wealth, this kind of successful man with money and gentlemanly manners was very attractive to women. No wonder Qin Ling was willing to be his mistress.
Of course, Zhong Yuemin is no longer the troublemaking poor boy he used to be, and Qin Ling is no longer someone who followed Li Chuliang out of desperation after being harassed by the head of the song and dance troupe. Everything is different now.
Zhong Yuemin extended his hand and shook hands with the person, smiling as he spoke.
"Mr. Li, right? I often hear Qinling talk about you. She says you often support her, sending flowers and gifts. Thank you, thank you!"
It kept shaking.
Li Chuliang was a little confused, but replied politely.
"Who are you, sir?"
"Look at my brain!"
Zhong Yuemin released his hand. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhong Yuemin. I am Qin Ling's girlfriend and fiancé."
Li Chuliang's eyes widened in disbelief. "You...you're Miss Qin's boyfriend? How is that possible? I've never seen you before."
“I have been serving in the army. Qinling and I are childhood sweethearts. We have known each other for a long time. Later, we went to the countryside in northern Shaanxi together and were assigned to the same educated youth settlement in the same brigade.”
Zhong Yuemin said:
"We shared joys and sorrows, and supported each other. We already had feelings for each other back then, started dating, and got engaged. Later, I joined the army, and Qinling went to Hong Kong to develop her career. We agreed to hold our wedding in Beijing in a few years."
"This……"
Li Chu felt a pang of conscience, unwilling to believe it was true.
"I...I don't believe it, you're lying to me."
"Why are you so annoying..." Li Yan couldn't help but say again.
Zhong Yuemin stopped him, turned around and shouted into the house.
"Xiao Qin, come out here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ling came out from inside, dressed in pajamas, and snuggled up to Zhong Yuemin, speaking gently.
"Yuemin, you've come!"
Zhong Yuemin wrapped his right arm around the woman's waist and gently pulled her into his embrace.
"Mr. Li, Xiao Qin is indeed my fiancée."
"you……"
Seeing the two of them so intimate, Li Chuliang felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar, his mind was racing, and he was furious. He had been pleading bitterly at the door for a long time, but there was not a sound from inside. As soon as this Zhong Yuemin came, he immediately came out obediently. I, Li Chuliang, have followed you all the way from Hong Kong Island to Beijing. Am I not worthy to see you?
Seeing that the woman was standing there with no intention of leaving, Zhong Yuemin figured he might as well go all the way. With a forceful push of his right hand, he pulled the woman close, her breasts pressed against his firm chest. He lowered his head and forcefully kissed her red lips. Qin Ling struggled slightly, but then gave up and let him have his way.
Li Chuliang saw his beloved woman behaving like this with another man...
He had been pursuing Qinling for over half a year, but they hadn't even held hands, let alone kissed. Now, she was with another man right in front of him...
As a seasoned womanizer, he was always successful with his handsome looks, wealth, and gentlemanly demeanor. He never failed to get the woman he wanted. But today, he was defeated here, losing face completely. He snorted coldly and walked away.
After everyone left, Li Yan, seeing the two still lost in their passionate kiss, completely ignoring her, was speechless. She patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder.
"Hey, are you ever going to stop trying to take advantage? Okay, take a break, the person's gone!"
Only then did they stop, their lips parted, and Zhong Yuemin, shameless as ever, smacked his lips twice, savoring the sweetness, somewhat unsatisfied. Qin Ling, though outgoing, was still a girl after all, and her pretty face was flushed, her eyes full of shyness, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Zhong Yuemin took the girl's hand.
"Let's go inside!"
The three entered the house. Qinling's father had passed away, and her mother had gone to Shaanxi a few days ago, so there were only these two girls at home. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to make such outrageous remarks.
A few side dishes were laid out on the table. "You two haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"What are we eating? Li Chuliang has ruined everything. The food is cold. I'll heat it up. You two sit down."
Li Yan took the dishes back to the kitchen, and after a while brought them out, steaming hot. The three of them sat at the table, eating and chatting. Seeing that Yuemin was wolfing down his food, having not eaten for several days, Li Yan, busy with her work, served him a bowl of soup.
"Slow down, don't choke. Aren't you going to a wedding and seeing your ex marrying someone else? You're feeling upset, so why didn't you eat?"
"Who told you that Luo Yun is my girlfriend? We have absolutely no connection. I had some 'things' to do this afternoon, and I ate lunch early to make sure it was digested!"
