Chapter 177

Two months later, Fiji.

"Master Jiang always picks the right place. Fiji has just the right temperature this month, and it's not even the rainy season yet. The island is a great choice too. Look at those waterfront houses! You can snorkel right from your room! Lots of coral! What's the name of this island? I'll take my wife and kids on vacation here someday!"

"Then you'll have to borrow it from Mr. Jiang. It's said that this island was given to him by Chairman Gu."

"Hiss! Such a big island, private?"

"Yes, so, everyone who can attend the wedding is someone that President Jiang favors. You and I should feel honored. We can also meet quite a few celebrities. Look, there are wealthy people whose names are listed in Forbes, and high-ranking officials from Southeast Asia... Hello, Assistant President Wu!"

Wu Tong, Mr. Jiang's most trusted confidant, volunteered to be best man and help maintain order throughout the wedding. He said to them with a brisk pace, "We at the Jiang family should seat tables 35-60, make no mistake!"

.

There are still three hours until the wedding officially starts.

Jiang Nuo was pinned down in the dressing room by Fang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Xia, and secretary Xiao Wang. She struggled to escape, "Why doesn't Gu Jiangkuo need makeup? I'm not a woman!"

"Who says only girls wear makeup? How come you're not gay at all?"

Fang Xiaoxiao and the makeup artist were choosing the color of the eyebrow pencil. Miss Jiang didn't forget her business at this time and strongly recommended, "Mr. Jiang, why don't you try our own product? We can also advertise it at the same time!" Secretary Wang didn't dare to be too arrogant in front of the boss, but she also silently helped him pick out a tube of colorless lipstick.

"Where is Gu Jiangkuo?" President Jiang was still trying to find someone to take the blame for himself.

"Brother!" At this time, classmate Jiang Xiaomi rushed in with a big tail. Rong Yi followed behind shyly and also called out "Brother Jiang".

Jiang Nuo couldn't help but tease, "You two are so close, you're inseparable all day long. Jiang Su even insisted on bringing you along when he heard they could come to the island."

Jiang Xiaomi just chuckled: "It's the National Day holiday, but unfortunately the school is only closed for three days. We have to go back early after the wedding."

"You're going to stay for three days?" Mr. Gu's shocked voice came.

He originally thought that these brats would be like everyone else, and would just leave the day after attending the wedding. Then he and Nuonuo could spend their honeymoon without restraint, moving from the sand house to the water house, from the beach to the crystal clear sea, doing whatever they love all day long... How could these two brats be so tactless?

Especially that Rong Yi!

"Yeah." Rong Yi looked at Mr. Gu bravely, then smiled at Jiang Nuo, "Brother Jiang, we are already in our third year of high school. This is our last vacation, so we want to play for a few more days."

"Of course, you have helped Jiang Su so much. You are welcome to come and visit us anytime." Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaomi said proudly, "Brother, didn't I make it into the top 200 in my grade this time? Our teacher said I have a good chance of getting into a 211 university, all thanks to Rong Yi for tutoring me."

In fact, Jiang Nuo has always felt a little sorry for Rong Yi. After he was reborn, he seemed to have changed the fate of many people because of his handling of Ding Pingzhou. In the original novel, Rong Yi should have been pursued by several super-rich men a few years later and lived a life of easy wins, but now, Ding Pingzhou has gone bankrupt, Gu Xin is missing, and there is Yu Min's nephew Yu Wencong... After the two previous blows from the Jiang family, Yu Min's momentum has been frustrated, and it is unlikely that he can recover to his original level within a few years.

It's like all three top suitors are GG.

Rong Yi said with sparkling eyes, "Brother Jiang, I also want to apply to Yanlin University and become your junior. Then, after graduation, I want to work for Jiang Corporation."

"......!" Gu Jiangkuo was so angry.

Just as Mr. Gu was about to explode, he heard Mr. Jiang say, "You can go to other cities. With your grades, getting into an A-level university shouldn't be a problem. You don't have to be confined to Yanlin. As for if you still want to return to your hometown after graduation, Jiang's will always have an offer for you."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Jiang!" Rong Yi said happily, his eyes glued to Jiang Nuo and he never moved away. Gu Jiangkuo finally couldn't stand it anymore, and grabbed the two little guys, one in each hand, and rushed out: "The wedding will start soon, Nuo Nuo still needs to change clothes, go out and play! Don't go into the dressing room again!"

As a result, he ran into Yu Min when he went out.

Mr. Yu had also been labeled a "love rival" in Gu Jiangkuo's mind, so he immediately let go of the two children, straightened his suit, which was wrinkled from carrying the children, and greeted him with dignity: "Mr. Yu, I'm here."

"Chairman Gu, congratulations!"

Gu Jiangkuo snorted in response. According to him, he didn't want to invite Yu Min, but Jiang Nuo didn't want to miss the opportunity to make a profit from him, so he sent out the "red ticket".

Yu Min hadn't come alone; he'd brought his family and a nephew with him. Yu Wencong's eyes widened when he saw Rong Yi. He deliberately pulled the famous watch his uncle had bought him out of his sleeve. After a moment's hesitation, he put on a cool gesture and walked over to greet him, "Hello, handsome guy."

However, Rong Yi didn't even glance at him. He patted the back of Jiang Su's head and said, "Jiang Xiaomi, don't you want to see the clownfish? Let's go."

Jiang Xiaomi followed suit, clacking away. "I know where it is! There's a large coral reef beneath the water house. Not only are there clownfish, but there are also manta rays! But, Rongyi, why don't you pay attention to that boy?"

"I hate people looking at me with that kind of fixed gaze," Rong Yi said, "especially those from wealthy families. I want to be like your brother and start my own business. ...Alas, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"What don't I understand?" Jiang Xiaomi was unconvinced and grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at Rong Yi.

The two teenagers burst into laughter, but were quickly stopped by Aunt Mei, who was supporting Gu Jiangkuo's grandmother, "Hey, Second Young Master! Be careful! Don't blind the old lady!"

Jiang Xiaomi stuck out her tongue, pulled Rong Yi up and ran away.

Old Mrs. Wang was not angry at all, nor did she make a fuss. It was as if she understood that today was her grandson's big day. Not only did she not curse like usual, but she also smiled at everyone she saw. She was wearing a suit and a matching sun hat today. Those who knew the inside story respectfully called her "old lady", while those who didn't thought she was the elegant and noble elder of the two grooms' families, and no one dared to neglect her.

However, no one knew that this old lady, dressed in gorgeous clothes, would secretly steal wedding candies from everywhere. After Aunt Mei helped her around, her handbag was already stuffed full of various milk-flavored candies, and she would mutter, "I can't give away the gift money in vain. Take it back and give it to Dajiang and Xiaonuo."

.

This is the first time Jiang Nuo has gotten married in his two lifetimes, and it would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

Although he had finally managed to avoid putting on makeup, he still had to look in the mirror and adjust his clothes every once in a while. Jiang Nuo changed into a white suit, while Gu Jiangkuo wore a black suit of the same style.

When choosing clothes, we originally planned to both wear black, but it turned out that we were going to a meeting, and too colorful suits would look informal, so we decided to wear one black and one white.

On the issue of black and white, several bridesmaids from the Jiang Group, represented by Wu Tong, had a dispute with bridesmaids from the Gu Group, represented by Dong Gu, because both sides agreed that white was more like a wedding dress, and whoever wore white would lose their masculinity.

But both sides refused to explain what they said. One side said, "Mr. Jiang is tall and handsome, and he looks like a prince charming in white." The other side replied, "Chairman Gu is tall and straight, and he looks like a white knight in white."

This secret rivalry lasted until a week before the wedding.

It was Jiang Nuo who made the final decision: "I wear white and he wears black."

Mr. Jiang didn't take the so-called face issue too seriously. He simply felt that Gu Jiangkuo had dark skin and wearing a white shirt would affect his appearance.

Gu Jiangkuo boasted about this decision for a whole week, and spread the word everywhere, intentionally or unintentionally, "Nuonuo loves me too much, he always considers my face and is willing to give in even on major life events."

"Anyway, the purpose of a wedding is to collect the gift money. It's all for others to see. Don't be nervous." Mr. Jiang silently encouraged himself in his heart, "Just treat it as hosting a meeting! Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"

However, just as Mr. Jiang had persuaded himself, he heard Gu Jiangkuo startled and said, "Where are the wrist flowers? Where are the bridesmaid's wrist flowers? This is the only wedding in my life, and no one is allowed to make the slightest mistake!"

“…” Mr. Jiang, who had just comforted himself, started to get nervous again.

So Gu Jiangkuo was slapped by his wife for no apparent reason.

“…”

Three hours passed in a flash.

"The flower girl and best man are ready!" Wu Tong poked his head in. "Well, they asked—and it wasn't me who asked—who will the bridesmaid go with?"

Because it was a wedding for two men, they had originally booked groomsmen, but all of them were wearing suits, which made it look more like a board meeting, so they finally decided to change it to a combination of groomsmen and bridesmaids.

If the black and white suit can implicitly indicate who is "marrying" and who is "marrying", then the position of bridesmaid is equivalent to an explicit indication.

Since Chairman Gu has been showing off for many days, all the bridesmaids thought that the bridesmaid would definitely follow Jiang Nuo this time, and their Chairman Jiang's family status would probably be decided on this day. Alas, what a pity.

As a result, just as Wu Tong finished speaking, Chairman Gu's loud voice came out: "Is this even a question?"

Wu Tong sighed: "Okay."

"Of course follow me, I'm the boss lady!" said Gu Jiangkuo.

"Okay...eh?" Wu Tong was shocked for two seconds, then said with a smile, "Okay, okay! Listen to Assistant Gu, ah, listen to Chairman Gu!"

Wu Tong didn't need to convey his message. The wealthy bridesmaids waiting outside the door already had different expressions on their faces. The contrast was obvious: the Jiang Group was feeling proud, while the Gu Group was dejected.

Only Donggu, who had followed Gu Jiangkuo the longest, was not surprised at all. He said with regret, "I knew it!"

.

Fang Xiaoxiao, one of the bridesmaids, was waiting at the door of the auditorium with a bouquet in her hand. She recited the procedure silently in her mind for the fifth time when she suddenly felt someone patting her shoulder. It turned out to be Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang changed her elderly demeanor and whispered gently, "Xiaoxiao, you're close to Xiaonuo. Could you help us ask why our Fang family was seated in the second row? Was there a mistake?"

The Nanyang Gu family wedding was ostensibly a wedding, but in reality it was a high-end social event with hard-to-get tickets. The seating arrangements were very particular. Many people originally thought that the Fang family had done the right thing and that their future was boundless. However, at Chairman Gu's wedding, they didn't even get a seat in the first row.

"Really?" Fang Xiaoxiao pretended to be confused. "It's about to start. The two grooms are busy and probably don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. Aunt, please take a seat quickly."

Aunt Fang understood what was going on when she heard this. There was no way to change it. It seemed that Gu Jiangkuo really hated them because of the test. Also, if Old Lady Fang did this and really caused Jiang Nuo and A Kuo to break up, Gu Jiangkuo would definitely not let them go. It was already very good that they could still give the Fang family some face.

.

The chairman of Nanyang Gu Group and Yanlin’s major taxpayer, President Jiang, who once became famous for his battle with lithium carbonate, held a wedding; a same-sex couple who once made headlines for their good looks and body shape got married.

No matter how you look at it, this wedding is easily the talk of the town.

Since it would most likely be filmed by guests and posted on WeChat Moments and then uploaded to the Internet anyway, it would be better to record the video directly. As a businessman who always talks about "maximizing profits", Mr. Jiang would even make his own money when he was ruthless.

The live broadcast rights of the wedding were sold at a high price to the online live broadcast platform that had previously cooperated with the Jiang family.

The platform's money was not wasted. Although it is free to broadcast, it is inserted with various hard advertisements. Even so, the playback rate remains high.

“It’s starting! It’s about to start!”

In a shopping mall in Yanlin City, a group of customers gathered in front of a huge TV screen and talked in unison.

The salesperson nearby didn't forget to chime in: "Our TVs are super convenient for screen mirroring. You can even watch live streams online! 4K HD!"

"I saw the groom, he's so handsome, he's truly an entrepreneur from Yanlin!"

"Such a young entrepreneur? He's even better looking than a celebrity. Is this really a movie?"

"The tall one is Chairman Gu, a billionaire, even listed on Forbes. The one with very fair skin and big eyes is the CEO of the Jiang Group."

"I know. Mr. Jiang is the one who gets things done for ordinary people like us! So many people lost everything when they bought P2P products before, but Jiang's gritted his teeth and paid them back. Now I'm still buying financial products from Jiang's Group. It's more reliable than banks. Some banks blame their employees' personal behavior when they lose money. If we owe them money, they'll sue us, bah!"

"Mr. Jiang is truly the pride of our Yanlin!"

Everyone was praising Jiang Nuo, and the more they praised him, the more outrageous he became. A tall, middle-aged man in the crowd couldn't help but say, "What's so great about that? Gu Jiangkuo is really amazing. He went to Southeast Asia single-handedly and brought back hundreds of billions of assets!"

"Hey, you, we praised President Jiang, but we didn't say anything bad about Chairman Gu, right? Why are you so excited?"

"That's right, this guy is really weird. Are those online trolls really like this in real life? It's none of your business."

After being scolded, Wang Weiguo became even more upset, "How come it's none of my business? Gu Jiangkuo is my nephew! After all, Jiang is my nephew's wife!"

Everyone looked over and found that Wang Weiguo was very ordinary from his clothes to his temperament. They couldn't help but roll their eyes and laugh at him: "You brag without thinking!"

"If you were a relative, why didn't you go to the wedding instead of watching TV with us here?"

"You're crazy about money."

The thing Wang Weiguo regretted most in his life was that he didn't recognize the value of Gu Xiangyu and didn't treat Gu Jiangkuo well, which led to his nephew completely cutting off contact with him. He didn't get any benefit from such a wealthy relative!

This was the most painful thing in his heart, but it was exposed by passers-by. Wang Weiguo was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is bragging? It's true!"

Unfortunately, his son Wang Xuanhui thought he was embarrassing and finally pulled him out of the mall.

The weather in Yanlin in October had turned cold. Although the heating in the shopping mall had not been turned on yet, it was warmer in the rooms with roofs. Ding Pingzhou wanted to go in to warm himself up, but unfortunately, with his messy hair and beard and tattered clothes, he looked like a beggar, and the security guard refused to let him in no matter what.

Wang Weiguo came out at this time and bumped into Ding Pingzhou.

"You don't have eyes!" Wang Weiguo pushed Ding Pingzhou away. "You stink so much, you even stained my clothes!"

Ding Pingzhou had long lost the muscles he'd maintained at the gym. After going bankrupt, he couldn't even get enough to eat, and he was emaciated from hunger. How could he possibly stand up to the 5'8" Wang Weiguo? He fell to the ground, only to see the wedding of the century being broadcast live on the big screen in the glass window.

The camera moved forward, and a familiar, delicate face zoomed in. Ding Pingzhou even forgot to get up and just stared at it.

Jiang Nuo was as elegant and beautiful as ever, his eyes gleaming. With him, the dazzling guests in the room paled in comparison, as if he were the natural star. If I hadn't been so blinded by greed and treated him wholeheartedly, would I still have Xiao Nuo now, instead of being reduced to this situation, where I can only watch him marry someone else through the screen?

"Why is he not moving? He seems to be crying?" said Wang Xuanhui.

"Let's go, let's go. Don't let this be a scammer. It's so unlucky!" Wang Weiguo was afraid of being blackmailed by the beggar, so he quickly pulled his son away.

Ding Pingzhou was left alone, his clothes soaked with tears without him noticing, and he just burst into tears, which attracted the security guards to come over and chase him away, not allowing him to stay at the entrance of the mall.

And at this moment, on the TV screen.

The emcee said cheerfully, "Today's flower girl is very special. As anyone with a pet knows, they are family too. Please welcome her!"

A fat Alaskan came running over, bringing out good-natured laughter and applause at the wedding scene. However, the dog was a little too excited and ran too fast. Fortunately, Gu Jiangkuo was strong enough to easily subdue Wangcai and snatch the ring from its mouth.

Jiang Nuo's fingers had distinct joints, and wearing a plain custom-made platinum ring for men, they looked even more slender and fair. Jiang Nuo also held Gu Jiangkuo's slightly rough big hand and solemnly put the ring on him.

Originally, he thought that the wedding was just for others to see and just to be officially announced, but at this moment, Jiang Nuo realized how excited he was.

After putting on this plain ring, they will both be married and live together for the rest of their lives, growing old together and supporting each other.

The MC smiled and said, "Now, the bridegroom may kiss the bridegroom!"

Facing the camera, Mr. Jiang was still a little nervous, but he calmed himself down, stood on tiptoe slightly, hooked his arms around Gu Jiangkuo's neck, and kissed him.

Gu Jiangkuo didn't expect Jiang Nuo to be so proactive, and he immediately kissed her back with great joy.

The whole room was filled with applause of blessing, but Gu Jiangkuo could hear nothing. He could only hear the rumbling of his own heartbeat, and that, finally, he had a status.

From then on, they signed a contract together and their marriage was forever tied. They wrote their promise of growing old together on a piece of red paper and recorded their covenant on red leaves in their love book.

Rightfully, Nuonuo is his.
