Chapter 141 The prelude to the wedding

After a pair of light bulbs left, Zhang Lan and I looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Zhang Lan lowered her head, fiddled with the hem of her clothes, looking gloomy, and suddenly I remembered Liu Jia who was far away from her hometown. I didn't know if it was wrong to express my love for Zhang Lan, but no matter what, it was a betrayal of Liu Jia.

Thinking of this, my originally thrust mood gradually calmed down. I said to Zhang Lan who was secretly looking at me: "I'm very tired when I take a plane during the day, and I have to try my dress tomorrow, so I'll have to rest early tonight."

Hearing my words, Zhang Lan's eyes showed a faint disappointment, but it was mixed with a sense of ease. It was probably the effect of the girl's ambivalence. After the two of them said "good night" to each other, they entered the room to rest, and said nothing all night.

Early the next morning, I was awakened by a violent knock on the door. After I separated from Zhang Lan last night, I thought about a lot of things. I loved Liu Jia, and I was also hard to give up Zhang Lan. Fish and bear's paws, palms and backs of my hands were difficult to choose. Sometimes, I really hate my hesitant cowardice.

There are many people in the world now who find a lover after marrying a wife, or even a second or third lover. I admire the courage of such a person. But I don’t have this courage, and I don’t want to hurt both girls. After finally getting to this point with Liu Jia, I can’t imagine that Liu Jia, who had always insisted on being single, finally became my lover after I pursued it hard; Zhang Lan was even more deeply rooted in love because of me. If it were not for the previous things, it would be better now that the two of them have developed further. I am really afraid that my rejection will force Zhang Lan into a desperate situation of death.

It’s so difficult! Every family has a difficult sutra, and I finally understood the true meaning of this sentence. I will personally understand it!

So, I didn't sleep well that night. I was thinking about it. I fell asleep in a daze at about two or three in the morning. Now I looked at my watch and it was only seven o'clock. This guy Kuaishou was so annoying.

I opened the door and looked at Kuaijian in a sportswear with sleepy eyes, and said angrily: "Kuaijian, what are you doing? Others are sleeping soundly - hey, what are you looking at?"

It turned out that Kuaijian looked into the room for a while, and after finding that the person he didn't think he showed a disappointed expression on his face. He came to see me for a joke. However, after seeing my face, a dirty smile appeared on the guy's face: "Chu, it was a very hard work last night, right?"

"What's the hard work? Don't think wrongly. I'm a gentleman. I don't eat my sister-in-law before getting married like you!" I yawned and fired back.

"You know this too?" Kuaijian turned his eyes and said, "But looking at the dark circles on your face, I know you are lying. Hehe, you can't lose such clear evidence in front of you! Okay, I won't disturb you to replenish your sleep. I'll go to the morning rush and say goodbye!"

After saying that, I turned around and ran away, making me feel so angry that I wanted to grab him and come on. When I returned to the room, I looked in the mirror, and found that I did have two dark circles that were not very obvious. It seemed that I was used to living a comfortable life, and even lacking such a little sleep was so obvious. In the past, I had nothing to do after staying up for several nights.

Shaking my head, I closed the door, got back into the bed, looking for Mr. Zhou to play chess.

I woke up again and it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. When I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful face. The pair of divine eyes on it were staring in the void, not knowing what I was thinking.

I didn't make a sound, and quietly looked at the beautiful picture until Zhang Lan noticed my awakening.

"Ah, are you awake?" It was like a little girl who was discovered doing bad things. Two cute blushings appeared on Zhang Lan's face. Haha, seeing Zhang Lan like this, I laughed in my heart. Now Zhang Lan seems to be blushing more and more. At least since I got on the plane, I have seen her blushing more and more than ten times.

"Well, what were you thinking just now?" I asked gently, holding Zhang Lan's strand of hair hanging in front of her eyes.

"Ah, nothing. Really!" Zhang Lan spitted out her bright red tongue cutely and said, "Get up quickly, breakfast is cold!"

"Uh, can you go out first? I need to wear clothes." Of course I know my situation. The unique characteristics of men who wake up in the morning make me dare not get out of the quilt.

As if he realized something, Zhang Lan blushed again and hurriedly ran out. A somewhat embarrassed voice came through the crack of the door: "I'll go and warm breakfast for you--"

Haha, I smiled secretly. This is not my own family. Everything is managed by the servants of Kuaishou. How can she have to warm up the breakfast? Besides, I may not like it. As a man deeply influenced by traditional culture, my breakfast is always white rice porridge and pancakes and fried dough sticks. If it is replaced with milk or something, it will be really hard to swallow.

So, I really don’t believe my eyes when it comes to my favorite white rice porridge and pancake fried dough sticks on the table. Although pancake fried dough sticks are no longer crunchy due to time, this surprised me very much. Just as I was watching Zhang Lan’s eyes and took a bite of the pancake wrapped in pancake, Kuaijian, this guy, seemed like a ghost, didn’t know where to get out: “How is it? My service is pretty good, right? I bought this from the morning market ten miles away. It’s really hard to imagine that a millionaire actually ate these things for breakfast? Tsk tsk, ink, I found that you really have the potential of ‘Grande’!”

"What are these things?" I rolled my eyes at the quick sword that was drinking tea leisurely there, and said angrily: "This big cake and fried dough stick can be said to be a kind of national treasure. It has passed on for thousands of years and also represents a cultural tradition. Also, although I am worth tens of millions of dollars now, this does not mean that I must have shark fins and bird's nests for every meal, right? That is purely a nouveau riche's behavior!"

"Okay! I surrender. Just say one thing to you, you will raise the problem to the national culture. If you continue, I will become a historical sinner. But to be honest, the taste of this big cake and fried dough sticks is really good. Guess, how much does these things in front of you cost?"

How much does it cost? Kuaijian asked this, because the price was far from the value in his mind. In our city, a meat cake is one yuan, while a fried dough stick is only three yuan, and a bowl of white rice porridge is just one yuan, which adds up to less than three yuan. The consumption level of Shanghai has always been comparable to that of Beijing, the political and cultural center, which is terrifyingly high! But this food should not be too outrageous.

"Ten dollars!" shook his head.

"Twenty?" or shook his head.

"Is it one hundred?" I didn't believe it, but I nodded a little, and said, "It's almost one hundred and twenty. A bowl of white rice porridge costs eighty yuan, a big cake costs ten yuan, and three fried dough sticks cost ten yuan each, exactly one hundred and twenty yuan." Kuaishou's serious look made me a little dazed. What kind of world is this? A big cake costs ten yuan. Oh, my god, it still makes people not live anymore? Is this the real manifestation of the high prices in Shanghai?

"Maybe, I can consider selling big cakes and fried dough sticks in Shanghai!" I took a bite of the big cake in my hand and said.

"Tsk! If you sell big cakes and fried dough sticks at this price, no one is willing to visit. Let me tell you, this is the 'high-end nutritious breakfast' specially provided by the special chef, otherwise it would not be so expensive!" Kuaijian said authentically with "disdain".

A special chef? A high-end nutritious breakfast? The taste is just average. But I felt relieved. So that's it. Otherwise, if the prices in Shanghai were really so outrageous, they would have collapsed long ago. At the same time, I cursed Kuaijian a few times in my heart. This guy actually spent time with me while I was having breakfast and saw me show him good looks.

When I was about to finish my meal, I lay on the recliner and enjoyed Lin Yafang's "shoulder pinch" service, Kuaijian said: "By the way, why didn't I see the 'pink clothes' yesterday? Didn't that little girl always want to see my true face?"

"Haha, she thought too. However, she is a student living on campus and can't leave school casually. You will see her at the wedding in a few days."

After breakfast, Zhang Lan and I accompanied Kuaijian to try on the dresses we had prepared long ago. In fact, Zhang Lan and I were not much different from Kuaijian’s wedding dresses. If you really want to say that, their wedding dresses pay more attention to color and naturally integrate the joy of the wedding, while Zhang Lan and I pay more attention to a light and brisk atmosphere.

The above are Zhang Lan's judgments. No matter how I look at it, I can't tell the difference between the two. Zhang Lan and Lin Yafang, wearing a dress, stood there like a pair of sisters, equally charming and charming; in comparison, I am far different from Kuaijian.

If I don’t stand with Kuaijian, I, wearing a precious dress, could barely join the "Handsome" clan with my tall figure. However, if I stand with Kuaijian like this, I will look much "ugly". Kuaijian also vilified his appearance in the game. In reality, he can be said to be a handsome man.

For this reason, I doubted the purpose of Kuaijian asking me to be my best man: "Kuaijian, do you say that I am asking me to be my best man just to set off myself? Otherwise, I really don't believe that there is no suitable one among your friends."

"Haha, I know me, ink!" Kuaijian smiled smugly. Although I didn't give him an old fist, my future sister-in-law replaced my job and twisted it hard on his arm, causing Kuaijian's laughter to come suddenly, as painful as a duck that was pinched his throat.

After a day of selection of the dress, only two sets were left in front of the two women. One was worn when welcoming the bride, and the other was worn during the wedding banquet. The former was dignified and beautiful but complex, while the latter was simple and bright and luxurious. In short, every design of Romon & Roland was ingenious. Although the style did not change much, the requirements for each occasion were very obvious.

It is hard to imagine that the bride was wearing a complicated wedding dress to mop the floor between guests at all tables, and perhaps she had tripped herself up after walking a few steps. Therefore, preparing two sets of dresses became inevitable.

Finally, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa. Looking at the two still excited little women, Kuaijian asked the side, "How to arrange the wedding the day after tomorrow? How many guests have you invited in total?"

After taking a sip of tea, Kuaijian replied: "The wedding arrangement is very simple. Tomorrow, Avon and your Zhang Lan will live with Avon's parents, and then the morning after tomorrow we will drive to pick up the bride. After picking up the bride, we will go to the 'Shanghai International Hotel' to hold the wedding there, and then, you and me will welcome the guests..."

"Wait, why are you and I welcome guests? According to the truth, shouldn't you be with my sister-in-law?" Although I have no experience in getting married, I have never eaten pork and watched pig run. Isn't it? According to the current popular custom, the bride and groom stand at the door of the hotel to welcome guests.

"That's the normal situation." Kuaijian shook his head and said, "There are not many relatives in our two families. Avon's family has no other relatives except one uncle. Yutong and I even died early. The other relatives either compete with each other or have not interacted with each other for a long time, so no relatives come to him." When he said this, Kuaijian's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

After hearing this, I didn't know what to say. If you want to comfort me, I was very calm, but maybe something went wrong with me when I was so relieved. So, I had nothing to say for a while. I stared at two women four or five meters away, and fell into an ethereal state.

I don’t know how long it took, but I was broken by Zhang Liyan in front of me. Looking back now, that state is very magical and I don’t think about anything. Although my eyes were staring at Zhang Lan and Lin Yafang, I actually couldn’t see anything, as if I had reached the state of “the five consciousnesses are destroyed” as Buddhists said. Of course, if I say that, others may not understand, anyway, it was like entering a blank dream at that time.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Lan asked, shaking her hand in front of my eyes.

"Oh, nothing." I twisted my body, which seemed a little stiff because I had been in a position for a long time, and said happily: "Maybe it's because of lack of sleep, I still want to sleep now." I couldn't explain the situation just now, and dozing off became my best excuse, although I knew that the two were definitely different.

"Oh." Zhang Lan had a faint doubt in her eyes, but she was immediately dispersed and turned around in front of me, saying, "Is this dress good-looking?"

Of course it looks good, and! This is the best out of all dresses, especially showing the curve of the woman's breasts perfectly. Looking at the deep cleavage from the wide open collar, I almost couldn't take my sight away.

"It looks good. But you'd better not wear it. I think you may cause a car accident when you wear this outfit!" I said with a wry smile. Yes, wearing a dress like this will definitely cause riots. Unlike movie stars who rely on makeup to fully display their charm, Zhang Lan's beauty comes completely from natural beauty, and its lethality is absolutely impressive. If I wear such an exposed evening dress, I really can't imagine what will happen.

"Why?" Zhang Lan tilted her head and said in confusion.

"This girl!" I smiled bitterly and said a few words in her ear, which attracted Zhang Lan's coquettishness. However, Zhang Lan, who finally understood what I meant, quickly changed out of this dress and hung it carefully in the closet. However, looking at her like that, she still liked this evening dress very much.

Lin Yafang, who also saw this, whispered something in Zhang Lan's ear, which made Zhang Lan happy and full of shyness. At the same time, she secretly looked in my direction. Although I don't know what this sentence was, I can guess it was about the evening dress, and it was also about me, but it was difficult to guess the specific content.

Two days passed quickly, and Kuaijian and I were sitting on his super long red flag filled with flowers and colorful balls. Just like the day before I arrived, I seized the driver's position and happily enjoyed the smooth and comfortable feeling brought by the red flag.

While listening to the soft music, I spoke to the Kuaishou behind me: "Kuaishou, how about Kuaishou? Do you feel nervous?"

I heard the voice of Kuaijian: "Go to you, I won't. Can this small scene be rare for me?"

Although Kuaijian said this, I could still see Kuaijian looking in the mirror and tidying his tie in the rearview mirror. I roughly calculated that in more than half an hour from the start to now, this guy has repeated this movement nearly ten times. Still not nervous? I despised myself but didn't say anything because I was also a little nervous. It was not that I called the bride itself, but last night Liu Jia called me and asked about the wedding. I was stunned at that time because I had just been on the phone with Zhang Lan before that moment.

So, at that time, I could be said to be a little panicked, as if I had a feeling of being exposed by Liu Jia suddenly. Now I seem to be relaxed, but I feel a little excited, and I still recall Liu Jia's words yesterday in my mind. On the phone, Liu Jia apologized for not attending Kuaijian's wedding, and carefully told me not to drink too much... It was a wife who was asking her husband who was on a business trip to pay attention to the details of life. This made me feel even more contradictory.

I calmed down and said, "Quick Sword, what are your business friends? Since you let me be the welcome doorman, then I will reveal their identities first, otherwise I won't know what to do then."

After hearing my words, Kuaijian finally gave up the mirror in front of his seat, cleared his throat slightly, and said, "In fact, there are not many customers. Apart from a few senior employees of my own company, there are only President Lu Yi, President Lu, President of the Shanghai Branch of 'Hang Seng Bank', Mr. Sun Zimin, Chairman of 'Shanghai Xintai Group', Mr. Chen Ziqiao, Chairman of 'Shanghai Shanda Group', and Mr. Zhang Youde, President of 'Hong Kong Guorui Import and Export Trading Company'..."

"Uh, you need to say nothing. There are not many, but each one is a heavyweight figure. Maybe it's not you, I'm afraid I'll never see these big figures in my life." I smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't it make me feel uncomfortable if you asked me to welcome these big figures?"

Seeing me, Kuaijian laughed and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of? Besides, you are a well-known figure in the game, but many people in reality know you, maybe they are excited when they see you."

I disdain for the "comfort" of Kuaishou. I was excited to see me? Why? It can be said that these people and I are completely from two worlds, and even Kuaishou is also from two worlds. In fact, I have never understood why Kuaishou invited me to be his best man and asked me to find a bridesmaid for Lin Yafang.

The relationship between us is indeed good in the game, but it has not reached the point where we can be so heart-to-heart after knowing each other for more than ten or twenty years. For this reason, I have been deeply confused. It seems that Kuaishou has an attitude towards me that is different from others. At least in the game, "Bagu", who is also familiar with Kuaishou, has not been invited to this wedding, so that I know the unusual things here.

After an hour's trip, we finally arrived at the Zhabei District where Lin Yafang's parents are located. There are vast residential areas here, and most of the residents are those with poor living conditions. Looking at the architectural style that is absolutely opposite to the prosperity of Shanghai that I have seen in the past two days, I remembered the place where I used to live. Although dirty and messy and poverty are no longer, the simplicity of life is still the theme here. Therefore, seeing such a super long red flag slowly driving into one of the alleys, many residents came out of their homes to watch the fun.

Looking at the big word "happy" in the car and various flowers, they talked about which family's daughter had such a good fortune to marry such a big boss. When the super long red flag finally stopped outside the yard where Lin Yafang's house was, the old residents who were familiar with it already knew that the one who got married would be the daughter of the Lao Lin family, the primary school teacher who was said to have won awards nationwide. For a moment, various discussions spread, some praised Lin Yafang's beauty, some praised Lin Yafang's enthusiasm for teaching, and some praised Lao Lin for having a good daughter.

Of course, there are some negative remarks, such as those who rely on their faces to get along with the rich, or something, in short, they are just like the vegetable market. After listening for a while, I automatically filtered out all these boring remarks, opened the car door, and walked into the yard with Kuaishou, who had been impatient to get off.

I rang the doorbell, and after a while the door opened from the inside, and a small head was stretched out, which was "pink clothes", that is, Qi Yutong. Last night she and Zhang Lan accompanied Lin Yafang home to spend the night. If Lin Yafang's house was not big, she would probably not be able to stay at all.

"Ah, Brother Moshui, you and your brother are finally here, I have been waiting for a long time!" The "pink clothes" in reality are more cute than in the game. Since I returned home yesterday, the "pink clothes" has been sticking to Zhang Lan and me, asking this and that, especially when I asked about my relationship with Zhang Lan, which made Zhang Lan very shy. However, I still called myself Zhang Lan's boyfriend in Zhang Lan's expectant eyes, making Zhang Lan happy like a little girl at that time.

This is the first time I have shown the relationship between the two in front of everyone, which is a test for Zhang Lan to herself. I don’t know which sentence I read from a book. Sometimes women are really stupid, and even a man deceives her beautiful lies will believe it. Although I did not lie, I still didn’t say one sentence, that is, in addition to Zhang Lan, I have another girlfriend - Liu Jia.

"But--" "Pinky" turned his flexible eyes a few times and said, "If you want to come in, you have to pass this level."

I took out the red envelope that had been prepared from my suit pocket and said, "I'll give you a red envelope and put it in."

"It's just a red envelope?" The "pink clothes" holding the red envelope pouted with dissatisfaction: "Brother Moshui has no sincerity. I said yesterday that there is no bracelet music box, so I won't let you enter the door. So - brother, I'm sorry."

After saying that, he closed the door so that Kuaijian and I looked at each other. I had nothing yet, Kuaijian was anxious and said anxiously: "What should I do ink? Are you prepared for that 'bracelet music box'? Otherwise, you can buy it now?"

Looking at Kuaijian's anxious look, I laughed happily and pointed at him and said, "Kuaijian, why are you so anxious? This is just a form, don't worry, the bride is bound to be without you! Also, maybe the bride has not been dressed up yet, and you also know that it is very troublesome for women to dress up. It will be impossible to finish it without most of the day. Besides, I certainly have the 'bracelet music box', but looking at what I looked just now, 'pink clothes' obviously won't give me a chance, so we should continue to work hard now!"

After saying that, I rang the doorbell again. But this time, I put the "bracelet music box" that could play a wonderful melody by relying on the movements of my body into the iron door, making me happily grab it when I saw it, but still didn't put it in. However, this time, the door was not closed, allowing us to see the situation inside.
