Chapter 2417: The Certificate Has Not Been Received Yet

The person who said this was none other than Gu Hanye's best man, Ouyang Zheng.

Ouyang Zheng came with his wife Xun Xia.

Seeing someone coming, Jiuyao quickly stood up from Gu Hanye and sat next to him. Her face felt slightly hot because she was caught.

Gu Hanye took her hand, squeezed it soothingly, and then said to Ouyang Zheng, "We should ask you two for advice. You've known each other for over ten years, haven't you? Your children are already several years old, and you're still as clingy as when you were in love!"

Ouyang Zheng sighed, "Yes, we've known each other for twelve years, broken up for several years, and have only been together for a few days."

As he was speaking, Ouyang Zheng helped Xun Xia pull out a chair, and they both sat down one after another.

Xun Xia also took advantage of this opportunity to briefly greet Gu Hanye and Jiuyao.

Xun Xia is very thin and has a rather cold temperament, but he has a generous demeanor and seems to be a straightforward and open-minded person.

Jiuyao heard from Gu Hanye that Xun Xia graduated from the Conservatory of Music and was actually Jiuyao's senior.

Xun Xia has a good voice and originally wanted to be a singer, but she encountered the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. The boss of the entertainment company she was originally going to sign with promised Xun Xia that he would give her the best resources as long as she was willing to be his lover.

Xun Xia refused to comply, and the boss became angry and used his connections to block Xun Xia's career as a singer.

Afterwards, Xun Xia went to a bar to work as a resident singer. It was in the bar that Ouyang Zheng met Xun Xia and fell in love with her.

Later, Ouyang Zheng directly bought the entertainment company. The guy who wanted to take advantage of Xun Xia was sent to prison by Ouyang Zheng and sentenced to life imprisonment. More than one girl was ruined by that guy, the youngest of whom was only sixteen.

Ouyang Zheng became the major shareholder of the entertainment company, and Xun Xia became his girlfriend. Gu Hanye often teased Ouyang Zheng, saying that this was also an unspoken rule to some extent.

However, these things happened many years ago. Later, the two broke up and got back together again, and experienced a lot. It can be said that it is fate that they can get back together now, but the main reason is that they have not let go of each other.

After the two sat down, Ouyang Zheng and Gu Hanye talked about the wedding venue. Ouyang Zheng said that he liked the wedding banquet venue built by Gu Hanye very much. After coming here, even the designs of big-name wedding companies were not satisfactory, so he wanted to borrow it.

Gu Hanye said, "Tell me who needs it first. I won't lend it to anyone I don't know well."

"Me! Xia Xia and I, we'll use it!"

Jiuyao couldn't help but be stunned.

Gu Hanye also raised his eyebrows: "You two haven't gotten married yet?"

"What are you talking about! If I got married, how could I not inform you?" Ouyang Zheng said, taking out a cigarette box.

He was just about to smoke when Xun Xia looked at him. He pursed his lips and put the cigarette box back in his pocket.

Jiuyao also found this scene interesting. Except for Shi Chenyuan, all of Gu Hanye's friends were somewhat unruly, but what was commendable was that they all listened to their wives.

Gu Hanye continued, "I thought you had already traveled to get married."

"No, I haven't received the certificate yet!"

Gu Hanye looked incredulous. He looked at Xun Xia and then at Ouyang Zheng: "Didn't you two get back together a long time ago? Aren't you anxious?"

Ouyang Zheng sighed. "It's urgent, but there's nothing I can do. You know the situation at my house. But it's all in the past. After attending your wedding, we'll get the marriage certificate as soon as we return to Haicheng."

Gu Hanye nodded and said, "That's good." Then he picked up the champagne glass and clinked it with Ouyang Zheng's glass. They each drank half a glass of wine.

Jiuyao was still a little confused and didn't know what the situation was at home. Gu Hanye didn't tell her in detail, only saying that their initial breakup had something to do with their family.

Xun Xia probably saw her confusion and explained to her, "His mother doesn't like me. She has already said that as long as she is alive, I can't even think about becoming the daughter-in-law of the Ouyang family."

At this point, she smiled bitterly, "I was young and hot-tempered during those years, so I told Ouyang that your family looked down on me, and I looked down on you both even more. Then I broke up with him without hesitation. I was pregnant at the time and didn't tell him at all. I just left like that."

Jiuyao naturally disliked parents who broke up their children's marriages, but after all, she was Ouyang Zheng's mother, so she couldn't comment and could only sigh, "So that's how it is..."

Ouyang Zheng took over the conversation and said to Jiuyao: "She has a bad temper now."

Xun Xia glared at him, Ouyang Zheng smiled and took Xun Xia's hand, placed it on his knee, and continued:

"Later, I found Xia Xia. I thought that after several years, our son was born, it was time to let Xia Xia marry into our family. But my mother still disagreed and tried to commit suicide with me. I had no choice but to prepare for a lifetime of not getting married. The only problem was that the child couldn't be registered in my household. Anyway, I've come to terms with it. Most children have their mother's surname, so there's nothing wrong with the son being named Xun..."

At this point, Ouyang Zheng sighed again: "Actually, my mother has been soft-hearted since last year, but the old lady is too proud to admit her face and is unwilling to take the initiative to bow her head. I thought that I would let Xia Xia go home and say a few soft words to my mother, so as to give the old lady a way out and let us get the certificate first. Who would have thought... Oh!"

Ouyang Zheng didn't say anything else and drank the remaining half glass of wine.

Jiuyao guessed what he hadn't finished saying.

Half a year ago, Ouyang Zheng's mother passed away.

It was also because of his mother's death that the two were finally able to get married, but as Ouyang Zheng said, his mother had actually already relented, but she passed away before they could reconcile. In this situation, Ouyang Zheng must have regrets.

At this point, the atmosphere between the four of them became a little heavy.

Gu Hanye took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "I heard from Chen Yuan that he helped you find Xun Xia. What happened?"

When Gu Hanye mentioned this, Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but laugh and looked at Xun Xia playfully.

Xun Xia tucked her hair behind her ears, her cheeks flushed slightly, "I'll go get something to drink."

"You're still embarrassed." Ouyang Zheng joked.

Xun Xia glared at him, then turned to ask Jiuyao, "What would you like to drink?" He glanced at her cup and asked, "Orange juice?"

Jiuyao felt embarrassed to trouble others, so she quickly said she would get it herself later.

But Xun Xia was her elder sister after all. She glanced at her empty cup and said with a smile, "You're welcome. You guys chat while I go get it."

Xun Xia left the terrace. Ouyang Zheng watched her figure disappear behind the curtains, turned around, and told Gu Hanye and Jiuyao about his reunion with Xun Xia.

That year, after Xun Xia broke up with him, she went to another city. Ouyang Zheng hated her for being heartless and blamed her for not giving him some time to solve the problem. He just left and simply didn't look for her.

It was not until later that a friend saw Xun Xia performing in a bar in another city with a little kid. He told Ouyang Zheng about it and took a photo and sent it to him.

As soon as Ouyang Zheng saw the child, he knew it was his. He looked just like him when he was a child. Only then did he realize that Xun Xia had left while pregnant.
