Chapter 180 Be My Daughter in the Next Life
The girls played and fooled around until the wee hours of the morning before going to sleep.
Learning from Feng Manman's experience of getting up at 2 a.m. to do her makeup at her last wedding, and considering that she only invited close friends and didn't want too many formalities, the wedding ceremony was scheduled for the afternoon.
After everyone had a good night's sleep, they got up comfortably to put on makeup and get dressed.
It's the same camellia wedding dress she wore four years ago.
Shen Jingsi and Lu Zhenyu even had a minor argument over this.
The wedding dress was designed by him, and its simple yet sophisticated style will never go out of fashion.
But ever since the girl "died" once, Shen Jingsi has become wary of the symbolism of white camellia.
Lu Zhenyu, however, was not bound by these things. In her view, everything depends on human effort.
Lu Zhenyu cherishes the past.
The inevitable outcome was that the arm couldn't twist the thigh.
While the girls were recording in the bridal chamber, a commotion gradually began to rise downstairs.
This was followed by the wailing of the officer.
"Shi Yiqiao, you dog of a woman!"
The reason is that the first challenge is a relay race. Taking advantage of having many children in the family, each member of the groom's party is given one to carry on their back. They then run around the acupressure mat forty times in a relay, and the time must not exceed four minutes.
Siwei was also unlucky, as he was assigned the oldest person, Shen Xinyi, by lot. With a heavy load on his back and thorns under his feet, he was in pain and grimaced, making him the slowest runner in the whole field.
But the little ones, following their aunts' instructions, wouldn't behave themselves while being carried, deliberately shifting their bodies to make things more difficult for the groom's party.
As Siwei ran, he cursed, "Shen Jingsi, you bastard! You had nothing better to do than raise so many little bastards, and in the end, they're all tormenting our brothers!"
Shen Jinchuan, who was a little ahead, said, "Brother Wei, if you had said less, it would have ended much sooner."
Feng Jinheng, who was ahead, asked, "Where are you two incubating your eggs? Can't you hurry up and finish this?"
"Damn it!" Siwei exclaimed, sweating profusely from the pain. "Are your peripheral nerves dead? You can't even feel the pain?"
Feng Manman, who was leaning out from the balcony upstairs, said with exasperation, "I've told you to be more restrained around Yiqiao, and now look what's happened, you're still dragging my husband down."
Blushing, Shi Yiqiao patted her sister on the shoulder from behind, saying, "I'm recording this vlog, so watch your mouth."
Shen Jingsi, who was sitting with his arms crossed and leaning against the front of the wedding car, was almost dizzy from the sun.
He realized that even if they had four minutes, these people might not be able to finish the race in three days.
He waved to the two men, Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu, who were standing to his left and right, and they stepped forward. "Boss, what's the matter?"
Shen Jingsi said, "Take your things and come upstairs with me."
With that, he left his sweating, staggering brothers behind and led a large group of subordinates carrying luxury bags upstairs.
When the man pushed open the door to the bridal chamber, Xia Feifei, realizing what was happening, turned around to block him, only to have five large bags stuffed into her arms.
Shi Yiqiao and Feng Manman rushed over, and one after another they were also filled up.
As Shen Jingsi, dressed in a white suit and wearing a rose pinned to his chest, walked toward the bride's bedroom, a voice came from the living room: "Damn, these few bags of mine alone cost almost a thousand!"
The bride is sitting quietly on the large bed covered with the Chinese character for "double happiness".
Her long, black hair was piled up behind her head, revealing her full and delicate oval face. She looked beautiful whether she wore light or heavy makeup.
The long veil spread out behind her, and the porcelain-white figure was even more dazzling than the camellia flower that had been re-embedded with tens of thousands of small diamonds and was now lifelike.
Especially her amber fox eyes, which smiled as they looked at the person who came before her, revealing a soft, luminous glow.
Shen Jingsi was so mesmerized by what he saw that he stood frozen in front of the bed, holding the golden flower in his hands, staring at his wife for a long time without blinking.
It's like a greenhorn who's just started out and encountered a god who descended from the sky.
Yu Guang noticed Bei Tingwan approaching and instinctively took a stack of red books from Wang Kai, who was following closely behind.
Dozens of property ownership certificates from both domestic and international sources, along with stacks of bank cards, black cards, U-shields, asset certificates, asset transfer documents, current asset holders, and so on, were laid out around Lu Zhenyu's bed.
Feng Manman and the others who arrived later were all dumbfounded.
Finally, all that remained of his possession was a set of Rolls-Royce car keys.
Take it out and put it on the bed.
"All of it, everything, is handed over to my wife."
He then looked at Lu Zhenyu, who had been watching with a smile the whole time, and said, "I'll wash the dishes, earn the money, coax the kids, and pamper my wife. I'll do everything at home. My wife only needs to be beautiful."
It's a perfect answer sheet, flawless.
But being too perfect makes it seem unreal.
Shi Yiqiao had never seen so many bank cards and property certificates in her entire life, and she walked over with a skeptical attitude.
Pick up an asset transfer certificate at random, flip to the last page, and take a look.
ah.
I gasped.
Xia Feifei walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so... ah."
He also gasped.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again at the string of numbers that was longer than her life, then at the three big characters "Lu Zhenyu" in the new owner's name, and she was dumbfounded.
Most importantly, the date written above is four years ago.
After the proof was signed, the two sisters said nothing more and simply stretched out their hands, "I agree to this marriage."
I agree.
Feng Manman was about to say that she didn't agree, that it was impossible for her to swindle her sister away with ten million.
But the two girls grabbed him and pressed their hands to his ears.
"Don't disagree. Her net worth is in the thirteen figures, all of which belong to Zhenzhen. Once this marriage is done, she'll become the new richest woman in the Northern Hemisphere. What need is there for a man's promise?"
Xia Feifei: "You're right!"
Feng Manman: "..."
-
After overcoming numerous difficulties, the groomsmen finally made it to the second floor.
Not to mention the Commandant, even Feng Jinheng was a little out of breath at this moment.
Exhausted, everyone forgot about the groom. Seeing the door to the bridal chamber wide open, they assumed it was some dangerous place and deliberately waited for them to jump in.
To everyone's surprise, when the man brought in a heart, all that was left were four girls sitting in a row on the sofa.
"Huh?" Siwei grinned, "Where is everyone?"
Shi Yiqiao, "Are you leaving?"
Shen Jinchuan, "When did you leave?"
Feng Manman said, "They left an hour ago."
The grooms exclaimed in unison, "Huh?"
At that time, while holding his wife's hand, Shen Jingsi drove around the capital in his wedding car and received "warm" greetings from his brothers.
The voice messages in the group chat were pouring out, but he didn't even glance at them and simply turned off his phone.
Looking at Lu Zhenyu, whose lipstick had long since been kissed off, I asked, "Wife, where else do you want to go?"
Lu Zhenyu thought for a moment, "There's a place I've wanted to go to for a long time, and today feels like the perfect day."
"Okay." Shen Jingsi shifted gears. "If my wife wants to go, let's go now."
The Rolls-Royce turned around ahead and slowly drove towards the suburbs.
Gazing at the lush greenery along the road, Lu Zhenyu smiled.
Old friend, have you missed me?
Shen Jingsi hadn't expected that the address Lu Zhenyu gave him was a suburban cemetery, but he wasn't surprised.
"Shall I go in with you?"
"I'd like to talk to her alone first, then you can come over later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
Lu Zhenyu, trailing her long wedding dress, was a unique splash of white against the somber backdrop of the cemetery.
She walked through rows of tombstones and came to a tombstone that held a fresh bouquet of flowers.
"Long time no see, Xiaomeng."
That's right, the person lying here is Xiao Meng, whose full name is Fan Meng.
If Lu Zhenyu hadn't witnessed the explosion at Qingshan Manor in a video, she wasn't sure when she would have remembered it.
Four years ago, after inhaling a large amount of smoke during the fire, she lay in bed on the verge of losing consciousness.
Lu Zhenyu didn't know how Xiaomeng rushed in from the sea of fire below, but she remembered that Xiaomeng used all her strength to lift her off the bed and push her onto the balcony.
They could have escaped together.
What Lu Zhenyu couldn't get over was that Xiao Meng rushed back to get the ring and safety buckle she had previously put on the bedside table. When she returned, the gas in the kitchen downstairs exploded, and the collapsing cabinet crushed her.
Lu Zhenyu, who was nearly unconscious, lay on the balcony, watching the girl being knocked unconscious. She used her last breath to crawl inside, but thick smoke and flames swept in with the second wave of explosions, pushing her back onto the balcony, where she lost consciousness.
"I haven't visited you in so long, are you upset with me?"
Lu Zhenyu squatted down and used the hem of her skirt to wipe the dust off the photo, revealing the girl's bright smile.
The autumn wind blows, dampening the eyes of Lu Zhenyu as she gazes into the distance.
Her fingertips gently traced the outline of the photograph, and tears silently fell into the sandalwood.
"I heard that silly girl Manman used to steal a few books from my study every month and burn them for you. I guess you won't be too bored over there. I'll bring you a copy of any good books I find in the future."
“You know Little Pearl is still alive, right? I mentioned you to her, and she said she would come to see you the day she can stay outside for three hours.”
“Manman also had a baby, two fraternal twins. Now, whenever the babies cry, she thinks of you and says that if you were here, you could definitely soothe the babies very well.”
"I miss you very much, but I haven't dared to come see you yet because of my own useless guilt and regret."
Lu Zhenyu looked up, trying to hold back her tears.
This was the first time she had come to see the girl since regaining her memories, and she didn't want to make the atmosphere sad.
"If I had known, I would have been stricter with you back then. That way, you wouldn't have been so stupid as to rush in to save me."
"But I also want to thank you. If you hadn't pulled me out, I would be looking down at my husband and daughter from heaven right now, and I would be filled with regret, regretting why I was so stupid and cowardly back then."
If time could turn back, Lu Zhenyu would rather it be her who died.
That girl, she had already paved the way for her future.
In her will, she left one-third of her inheritance to her, so that she could travel the world, find herself in freedom, shed her identity as the maid Xiaomeng, and do everything that Lu Zhenyu was unable to do in her lifetime.
In the end, however, it was Xiaomeng who died in her place.
In the months since regaining her memory, Lu Zhenyu has been thinking, "Xiaomeng, did I take away the happiness that should have been yours?"
Such a lovely, kind girl, and I suffered several hardships while following her.
Lu Zhenyu really couldn't help but wonder if she was the "cursed lone star".
But since it's already happened, she can't change it.
All I can do is live well, carrying the burden of what I owe Xiaomeng.
"I'm sorry, Zhenzhen for forgetting you for four years. If there really is a next life, be my daughter and give me a chance to love you properly, okay?"
