BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65.2
Chapter 65.2
The wedding was approaching and the wedding photos, hotel and wedding company were all ready. It was just that the girl’s parents didn’t seem to be satisfied with the wedding car and hotel, forcing the girl to cry several times.
“A wedding is a life event and Lin Lin is a good girl. Which girl wouldn’t want to have a beautiful wedding?” Zhu Xia saw that Chen Xiaojun was a bit sad and persuaded him. “The wedding car is easy to handle but we need to spend more money and hire a good one.”
“I have a good car that the company arranged for me.” Li Zhao spoke up. “On your wedding day, I’ll drive it over for you.”
“Okay.” Chen Xiaojun felt a bit embarrassed. For the sake of his marriage, he was making things difficult for his friends.
“The hotel thing is a bit more difficult. Time is so tight, I’m afraid we won’t be able to book a better hotel.” Zhu Xia thought for a while. “Or you can give two types of gold jewellery to let her stay at the hotel. If things are too rigid then the saddest one will be Lin Lin. Such a good girl, are you willing to make her sad?”
The hotel was booked last year and now it was only a few days before the wedding. It was probably too late to replace it.
“Brother Xiaojun, you can tell your mother-in-law that you have invited a celebrity to help out,” Li Zhao said. “It will give some face.”
Chen Xiaojun wondered, “Where can I get a celebrity?”
“Me.” Li Zhao pointed at himself. “Aren’t I a star?”
“I know you so well that I forgot about it.” Chen Xiaojun finally smiled at the advice of his friends. “Zhao ah, this is the true loyalty and self-sacrifice.”
“Brother, you are getting married. If I’m not loyal then how can we be brothers.” Li Zhao laughed. “As long as you and my sister-in-law get married smoothly, life will be better than anything.”
“Leave the car and hotel to me.” Yan Ting, who hadn’t spoken, placed his hand on Li Zhao’s shoulder and read out the names of several hotels. Then he asked Chen Xiaojun, “Which one do you prefer?”
Chen Xiaojun’s hand holding the glass was shaking. No matter which one it was, none of them were something he could afford.
“I think this one is fine.” Li Zhao chose one of the most famous hotels. “Brother Jun, Ting Ting knows people in this hotel and can give you an internal price.”
He secretly sent Yan Ting a look so that Yan Ting wouldn’t say the wrong thing. Yan Ting received Li Zhao’s gaze. “I have shares in this hotel. The internal price of relatives and friends is one-third of the market price.”
Li Zhao gave Yan Ting a look of appreciation. As expected of Yan Ting, they were indeed connected heart and soul. As for the other two-thirds, he would pay it. If he told this to Brother Jun then his brother definitely wouldn’t agree. It was better to help him this way.
Thinking of his beloved girl, Chen Xiaojun gritted his teeth. “Okay, this one.”
There was only one wedding and Lin Lin would be happier than anything. He looked gratefully at Yan Ting, repeatedly thanking him with red eyes. There might not be any relatives but he had these brothers and his sister. There were no regrets.
As they were discussing the wedding, Zhu Xia took out her phone and looked at the time. “It isn’t easy so let’s go back to rest. If there is anything then we can chat in the group.”
“Okay.” Li Zhao put his hat and mask back on. “Ting Ting and I should go home to sleep.”
“Zhao Zhao, are you still living with Xiao Yan?” Zhou Ming was a bit surprised. He had watched Seclusion Mountain Forest and Zhao Zhao clearly lived alone.
“Ting Ting and I are neighbours. Sometimes if I’m too lazy from working outside and don’t want to clean up the house, I will stay directly in Ting Ting’s house.” Li Zhao laughed. “In any case, Ting Ting’s home is very big and it is like I’m living alone.”
Zhou Ming nodded. He felt that something was wrong but he also felt there was nothing wrong.
Once everyone separated, Zhou Ming handed the safety helmet to Zhu Xia. “Wife, when did our home have the rules for giving a red envelope to a brother’s friend?”
“Of course we don’t need to give red envelopes to the average friend.” Zhu Xia put on the helmet. “However, we must give it to a boyfriend.”
Zhou Ming was glad he hadn’t started the motorcycle or there would’ve definitely been an accident. “What did you say? Boyfriend?!”
“Didn’t you see the sweetness between Zhao Zhao and Xiao Yan?” Zhu Xia sat on the back seat. “I said that you have no eyes at all. From the time we ate to when we drank coffee, Xiao Yan’s eyes were always on Zhao Zhao. He also helped Xiaojun prepare the car and the hotel. These are all big favours. Can ordinary friends do this?”
“But isn’t he a man?”
“What’s wrong with a man?” Zhu Xia pinched Zhou Ming’s waist and the pain made him shout. “Aren’t you a man?”
“I didn’t mean that. It’s just that Zhao Zhao is a star. If this matter is known to the media then Zhao Zhao’s career will be over.” Zhou Ming held the place where he was hurt. “Although Zhao Zhao has never said it, we all know that he still wants to find his biological parents. If one day, he really finds his parents but they can’t accept two men being together, what will he do?”
Zhu Xia took off her helmet and looked at the people coming and going on the streets. On the sidewalk, a small couple held hands and whispered while smiling. “I don’t know the future but I know that Zhao Zhao needs Yan Ting.”
By Yan Ting’s side, Zhao Zhao could be lazy and show the most relaxed attitude. He was no longer the most well-behaved and sensible child. He was a happy young man without many scruples. Zhao Zhao was so happy that she was reluctant to destroy even the slightest bit of it.
“The future is for Zhao Zhao alone.” Zhu Xia pursed her lips. “All we can do is respect his choices and not be a stumbling block for him.”
“If he is famous and abandons Yan Ting...” Zhu Xia put the helmet back on again.”
“I will break the scum’s leg!”
Zhou Ming shook. “My wife is right.”
“If Zhao Zhao dares to be half-hearted and becomes an irresponsible scumbag, break his legs.”
***
”Quickly show me the red envelope money Sister Xia gave you.” Li Zhao sneezed when he got in the car and reached out to take the red envelope from Yan Ting’s pocket.
“One, two, three...” Li Zhao counted while Yan Ting helped him take off the hat and scarf.
“88...”
Li Zhao was shocked by the amount. Did Sister Xia take out the wrong red envelope? Why give Ting Ting such a big red envelope? Last time Brother Jun brought his girlfriend, Sister Xia had also given an envelope of 8,800 yuan. At that time, Sister Xia had just left the hospital and had no money in hand. This 8,800 yuan was something he and Sister Xia had to cobble together.
A boy was bringing his girlfriend home for the first time. In order to show respect, the boy’s relatives gave the girl a big red envelope. There was no problem with this. However, it wasn’t right to give Ting Ting such a big red envelope. Was it... because Li Zhao was always eating and drinking at Ting Ting’s house so Sister Xia was trying to help him make it up to Ting Ting?
Li Zhao put the money back in the red envelope and then the red envelope into Yan Ting’s pocket. His mobile phone vibrated as Li Zhao received a message from Zhu Xia.
A Blossoming Voice: I should’ve paid more attention and given a red envelope of 12,000. However, we were short of money when Lin Lin came and only gave 8,800. This time, we could only pack the same amount for Xiao Yan to make it even. Tell Xiao Yan not to mind it.
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: What can he mind? The one who should mind is me. Up to when I was an adult, the biggest red envelope you gave me was 200 yuan!
A Blossoming Voice: Zhao ah, you can have snacks.
Zhu Xia ignored Li Zhao and Li Zhao showed the chat to Yan Ting. “In the eyes of Sister Xia, I have no status at all.”
She was worried that Yan Ting would misunderstand the 8,800 yuan but Ting Ting had such a good relationship with him. How could there be a misunderstanding? Yan Ting read their chats and his eyes became brighter, joy and desire intertwined within them before finally turning into infinite darkness in front of their eyes. “Zhao Zhao, Sister Xia is a good woman.”
“Of course.” Li Zhao looked at him. “However, don’t think too much. Sister Xia is married to Brother Ming.”
“No.” Yan Ting reached out a hand to touch Li Zhao’s shoulder. “I won’t like other people.”
In this world, only you are the most special.
“Let’s go together when Brother Jun gets married.” Li Zhao didn’t know that the smile on his face had become more brilliant. “This is the only time he will get married and it must be beautiful.”
“As for the car and hotel, I’ll give you some money.” After Li Zhao returned the two million he borrowed to Ting Ting, there was still some money in his card.
“No need.” Yan Ting stated, “The car is mine and the hotel is mine.”
“He is your family. You’re my... best friend.”
“I don’t need to receive money from family.”
The author has something to say:
Baby Ting Ting: Hello sister, I am Zhao Zhao’s (male) friend.
Sister Xia took out a red envelope on the spot and stuffed it into his pocket: Good, good.
