Hung Hing and Molly have now accumulated considerable wealth, and their wedding was quite dignified.
The two elders of the Mo family have gone from not believing in him at the beginning to praising him to everyone they meet.
Before the wedding even started, while they were receiving guests one after another, Jiang Wanqing and the others heard Molly's parents praising Hongxing.
"Congratulations! Your daughter has finally found a good man!"
"Hahaha... Yes, this kid has good taste, and our son-in-law is also very capable. He paid for all this fancy meal today. Come on, everyone, come in and have a good meal!"
"Brother Mo, having a son-in-law is like having a son."
"That's right. If anything happens at home, the son-in-law comes as soon as he hears it. He's very filial."
...
Hong Xing has now completely gained his parents' support and blessings. Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran were happy for him just watching.
As if on cue, Hung Hing arrived with Molly and poured them a glass of wine.
"Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, please forgive me for any shortcomings in our hospitality. I'd like to propose a toast to you both, thank you for coming, and consider it a farewell gift for Brother Cheng!"
Hong Xing, true to his nature, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. Cheng Ran also joined him for a drink. After attending the wedding today, they would be leaving at the earliest tomorrow or the latest the day after, so there really wasn't much time for a get-together.
"It's all in the wine. I wish you a happy and harmonious life together until you grow old together."
"Thank you, Brother Cheng, thank you, Sister-in-law!"
Molly watched as Hung Hing drank glass after glass, then snatched his glass away.
"Alright, I know you're happy, drink less. The wedding hasn't even started yet and you're already drunk."
"Yes, take it easy, the main event is tonight."
"Ahem... Wanqing, you're teasing me again!" Molly's face flushed.
The four of them were chatting and laughing. Before long, Yue Shuzhen and the others arrived, each carrying a large red envelope and dressed smartly.
As soon as Qin Meng entered, she gave her gift and looked around.
“We’re here, what are you looking at?” Shen Huan waved to remind her when she saw that she was a few steps behind.
"Pfft... She's not looking at us." Yue Shuzhen covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "She's checking if Huanren has arrived."
"Oh right, did you invite him?"
"I did invite him, but the invitation wasn't delivered to him personally. He was busy when I went to his workplace, so the mailroom staff collected it on his behalf. I don't know if he received it or not," Molly said, pursing her lips.
She and Hung Hing have already conveyed their feelings. As for whether or not they come, that's their business. Even if Qin Meng wants to see Huan Ren again, it's not something they can control.
Jiang Wanqing patted Qin Meng on the shoulder to comfort her.
"The person can't run away. They'll be in the Beijing area from now on, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet. Today, let's focus on attending the wedding."
"Yes, I know."
Qin Meng was an honest person, and when people teased her, they would just say a few words and that would be the end of it.
About half an hour later, the wedding officially began. Huanren arrived right on time and gave a large red envelope.
"I'm sorry I'm late again. I was really held up by work."
He sat down in the empty seat as soon as he arrived, and this time, since no seat had been specially reserved for him, there was only one empty seat next to Jiang Wanqing...
As a result, there were men on both sides of her. Jiang Wanqing wanted to switch seats with Qin Meng, but Cheng Ran would switch with two people at once, which would be too obvious. So she simply gave up, thinking that since they were all sitting at the same table, it would be easy to strike up a conversation.
"Comrade Huanren, you're so late! Some people were getting impatient. They almost thought you weren't coming. Don't do this again next time!" Yue Shuzhen said with a smile.
"I'm sorry... I won't do it again next time."
Huanren subconsciously looked to the side, not noticing the way Qin Meng was looking at him.
"Words are no proof. Come, come, let's punish ourselves with three cups to show our sincerity!"
Yue Shuzhen was good at handling things. She simply thought that having had a few drinks would make it easier to say some "flirtatious" things, helping Huanren and Qin Meng get closer. Then, when the wedding atmosphere was in full swing, she could catch the bouquet or something, wouldn't that be perfect?
"Okay, I'll drink it."
Without saying a word, he stood up with a smile, poured himself the first glass of wine, and drank it.
"This drink is my punishment for being late. I'll drink it all!"
Then he poured himself another glass of wine and raised it to everyone.
"This glass of wine is a toast to the newlyweds, wishing them a long and happy marriage."
After finishing his drink, he poured himself another glass, tilted his head back, drank it down, and then turned the glass upside down.
"This is the last drink. Thank you all for the encounter." His gaze swept over Jiang Wanqing and the others. "You... are all very important people in my life."
Qin Meng lowered her head shyly, then raised her head with a slightly flushed face.
"Don't drink anymore. If you get drunk, the groom will come over and toast you."
"It's alright, I can hold my liquor pretty well, hehe."
He was already a little drunk. After putting down his wine glass, he almost lost his balance. Cheng Ran, with his long arms, reached across Jiang Wanqing's chest to support Huan Ren and gave a smirk.
Be careful.
"Thank you... thank you, Comrade Cheng..." Huanren hiccuped. "I heard you... have been discharged from the army. Congratulations! You can continue to pursue your ambitions. I... I should toast you!"
"No need, I can't drink too much."
"Oh right, you're leaving soon, so you really shouldn't drink too much."
Cheng Ran frowned repeatedly upon hearing Huan Ren's words. How did he know that he was about to be demobilized and leave the capital region?
He didn't specifically tell Huanren, and it's unlikely that anyone else would specifically inform him...
Qin Meng mustered her courage and took the initiative to start the conversation.
"Comrade Huanren, you also know about Comrade Cheng Ran's demobilization?"
"Yes, I knew before you all..." He seemed a little drunk and incoherent, "I saw the relevant documents, and... signed them... ugh..."
He almost vomited, but Qin Meng acted quickly, walking over to him and supporting him.
"Let me help you outside for some fresh air."
"Thank you... everyone, please enjoy your meal. I'll come back to apologize later!"
Jiang Wanqing frowned, glanced at Cheng Ran beside her, and noticed that his mood was a little off, but due to the occasion and timing, she didn't ask anything for the time being.
After the wedding, on their way home, she couldn't help but ask him.
"What are you thinking? Is it about Huanren...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Ran suddenly hugged her and gently stroked her back.
"Wanqing... I'm leaving. Remember to miss me, come see me, don't forget me, don't be infatuated with other men, and remember to write to me and call me often..."
She hugged him back, her face pressed against his chest, and he shielded her from the cool evening breeze.
"What are you talking about? We've been married for so long, why are you still afraid of this? Is it because you lack confidence in yourself, or in me?"
Cheng Ran slowly released her, his fingertips stroking her delicate face.
"It's precisely because I'm so confident in you that I'm afraid your charm and charisma will only grow more captivating with your experience and age, and that's why I'm afraid..."
