Nangong Jin looked back and forth between Xiao Liu and Cheng Ling.
He joked, "You two might as well become a couple! Little Six, you've already hugged someone before."
Xiao Liu laughed and said, "Can you make a joke like that? Nangong Jin, stop talking nonsense, it's embarrassing for them."
Nangong Jin looked at Cheng Ling and asked, "Do you like him? I'll be your matchmaker!"
Luo Luo rolled her eyes at Nangong Jin. "Alright, stop joking around. Keep looking for the shoes. If you can't find them, everyone will have to stay here."
Nangong Jin patted Xiao Liu and said, "Anyway, I have high hopes for you two. Before she becomes famous, you should win her over first. Being close to the source gives you an advantage; don't let an outsider benefit from it."
Cheng Ling's face turned even redder; she hadn't expected the groomsmen to actually joke around.
Xiao Liu shoved Nangong Jin aside, "Go find your shoes over there, you can shut up now. It'd better be before you get married, otherwise, your brothers won't help you at all!"
Qin Yun: "He already has a son, so it doesn't matter whether he gets married or not."
Nangong Jin retorted provocatively, "That's right, only I have a son."
Jiang Zhi glared at Nangong Jin, "Don't get too cocky. Next year, I'll surpass you."
Nangong Jin: "I can gloat for many more months!"
Jiang Zhi rolled his eyes at Nangong Jin, "Stop talking nonsense, find the shoes! I brought you here, not to flirt with girls, you know what's important, okay?"
Nangong Jin: "You're the boss today, so I'll do as you say. Find the shoes!"
Luo Luo calmly watched the wedding procession, while Qiao Nuan and Cheng Ling stood to the side.
They all drank milk tea, but didn't say anything.
Let them search slowly; they probably won't even guess where the other shoe is hidden.
...
I searched for quite a while, but still couldn't find another pair of shoes.
Everyone thought it was really strange!
Nangong Jin: "Could it be that the shoes can really fly?"
Xiao Liu chimed in, "It might really be able to fly; it might have already flown out the window."
Jiang Tuo: "Could it be that someone upstairs hung the shoes out?"
Qiao Nuan found it hilarious. "You're all like great detectives, have you solved the 'case' yet?"
Cheng Ling: "How could a shoe fly off? Do you think we have magic?"
Nangong Jin: "Miss, please tell us where the shoes are hidden? If this continues, the auspicious time will have passed."
Luo Luo: "Nangong Jin, from this moment on, you are silenced."
Nangong Jin: "Luo Luo, you're just too mean!"
Jiang Zhi looked at Qiao Chu with deep affection, "Wife, just give me a hint, you can just tell me quietly."
Luo Luo immediately stepped in between Qiao Chu, blocking her way. "No sentimentality allowed today. You can't even find your wife's shoes, and you still want a wife? You wish!"
Qiao Chu smiled sweetly, her face radiating happiness, "Honey, the shoes are in the room, they didn't fly out."
Luo Luo: "Did you hear that? The shoes are in the room. Everyone thinks they're Sherlock Holmes."
...
Jiang Zhi called his best man over for an impromptu meeting.
Jiang Zhi: "We've searched every place, not even the most obscure corner, but we still haven't found the shoes. Did you notice? Every sister has a bag, but we haven't looked for their bags. I think they should be in their bags."
Nangong Jin: "This was hidden really well! Let's look for the bag then!"
Jiang Zhi: "Who goes first?"
Nangong Jin: "You're the groom, you go first!"
Jiang Zhi: "Shouldn't you be the ones doing this? Nangong Jin, how can you just sell me out like this?"
In an instant, Nangong Jin grinned wickedly, "What you're implying is that you want me to search women's bags!"
Jiang Zhi: "You're the most shameless one. If you don't go first, who will?"
Xiao Liu: "You're too tough on Luo Luo!"
Nangong Jin: "Okay, go search Cheng Ling's bag."
Xiao Liu: "Damn...you're really good at talking nonsense!"
Nangong Jin: "If you go, I'll go too!"
Qin Yun: "For Master Zhi's happiness, go for it! We're cheering you on!"
Xiao Liu: "That's just sarcastic talk!"
Jiang Tuo: "How about I go look at their bags? I'm willing to go all out for my brother's happiness."
Instantly, Jiang Zhi put his arm around Jiang Tuo's shoulder and exclaimed, "Look, this is what real brothers are like! You guys are all fake!"
The groomsmen were all smiling.
Suddenly, Nangong Jin stopped being reserved and said, "I'll go too. It would be so awkward to just stand around doing nothing!"
Xiao Liu: "Then let's all work together! It's pointless to keep passing the buck. No matter what we do, we need to be thick-skinned to get things done quickly!"
Jiang Zhi looked at the best man and said, "Then go search! Stop talking nonsense, I'm getting bored!"
The groomsmen nodded and came over.
Luo Luo said disdainfully, "What conclusion did you reach? Do you still want to pick up the bride?"
Nangong Jin: "Bridesmaids, hand over your bags, we need to check them."
Luo Luo answered very readily, "Then search away, we don't care. Don't be surprised if we see something we shouldn't!"
Nangong Jin: "Is there something you're hiding?"
With a slight squint, Nangong Jin took Luo Luo's bag and opened it to take a look.
"There is a small makeup bag, that's true, but no shoes."
Jiang Tuo opened Qiao Nuan's bag, but there were no shoes there.
...
We checked them all, but there were no shoes.
Instantly, the bridesmaids teased, "After all that discussion, is this all the cleverness you've got?"
Jiang Zhi: "Don't try to confuse our judgment. The direction is definitely correct."
Nangong Jin: "I haven't looked at the bride's bag yet, Zhi, go and take a look."
Jiang Zhi: "What you think of, the bridesmaids think of too."
After saying that, Jiang Zhi walked up to Li Wanyue and said, "Mom, I'm sorry! Could you please open your bag so I can see if there are any shoes inside?"
Li Wanyue couldn't stop smiling.
Nangong Jin also saw through the scheme, "Auntie, you actually conspired with them to frame us, making us suffer a lot!"
The bridesmaids remained silent, pretending not to know anything.
Li Wanyue opened the bag, and Jiang Zhi really saw Qiao Chu's other wedding shoes.
He took it out, glanced around at the bridesmaids, and said, "You guys are so mean!"
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Hurry up and put it on Qiao Chu!"
...
Nangong Jin: "We wouldn't dare touch our mother-in-law's bag! Those of you who aren't married yet, remember this: when you're picking up the bride, your mother-in-law can't be there."
Li Wanyue was still laughing; this was too funny!
"Everyone is just having fun, which shows that you are all very patient. That's life. As long as you don't give up, there is still hope and a door to happiness."
The groomsmen said, "Mother-in-law of Mr. Zhi, we have learned our lesson! We will remember it!"
Jiang Zhi had already put shoes on Qiao Chu and kissed her.
"Brothers, let's go back!" Jiang Zhi said, picking up Qiao Chu.
Even if it's tough, it's worth it to win the heart of your beloved!
...
There were many media outlets waiting at the entrance of Qiao Garden to photograph Qiao Chu leaving the house.
The Qiao family was very thoughtful, giving the media red envelopes, snacks, and drinks.
