Chapter 70: Lawn Wedding She is my girlfriend, so of course I stand with her...
In the new week, Luo Shu took an expedited custom wedding and flew to Sanya on short notice.
Through the joint efforts of the whole night, the lawn wedding covering thousands of square meters has taken shape.
The rising sun gently kisses the carpet-like soft lawn, and the tips of the emerald green grass are shimmering with golden halos.
Under the archway constructed with white tulle, the floral team is carefully adjusting the position of each rose; staff members are shuttling around every corner to check for missed details; the chef is checking the million-dollar castle wedding cake, embellished with edible gold foil; the band is tuning their instruments, and the sound of violins is occasionally mixed in with the morning breeze.
The faint chirping of birds and the melodious sound of the piano intertwined, the fragrance of grass mixed in the air, exuding happiness, and the entire manor lawn was immersed in the busyness and anticipation before the wedding.
Time was running out, Luo Shu was extremely busy, but at this moment Shen Qianshu called.
"Why didn't you tell me you were on a business trip?"
Luo Shu, her phone tucked between her ear and shoulder, was baffled by his complaints. "Are you my boss? I need to check in with you. Anyway, I'm busy."
After a few words, he hung up the phone in a hurry. Shen Qianshu stood in front of the hotel's French window and rubbed his messy hair helplessly. If the message he sent early in the morning had not fallen on deaf ears, he would still be in the dark if he had asked Zhai Xiaowen.
Overlooking the entire Deep Bay landscape, I suddenly felt that this city was boring because someone was missing. After sleeping in the hotel for two days, I might as well go home and show up.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Qianshu appeared at the gate of the Shen residence. He quickly passed by Shen Qianfan who was having dinner, said hello weakly, and climbed straight up to the second floor.
"You haven't been home for two days. Do you still have me as your big brother in your eyes?"
Shen Qianshu touched the armrest: "I have something important to do."
"Say that again."
The dissatisfied tone was accompanied by the clanging sound of porcelain colliding.
It is rumored that Shen Qianfan, the eldest brother of the Shen family, does not tolerate any sand in his eyes, not to mention his half-brother Shen Qianshu. It is said that Shen Qianshu was sent abroad as an adult because of his own doing.
The new secretary Xuan Qing was so frightened by the sudden loud noise in front of him that he held his breath and lowered his head. The man was eating elegantly one second, and then he overturned the table the next second, which really proved the rumors of discord between the two brothers.
The culprit not far away still did not move. After a few seconds, Shen Qianshu frowned and turned to the dining table helplessly: "I'm 24 years old, not a minor."
The spoon was thrown into the soup bowl, and Shen Qianfan held the silver fork: "You also know that you are 24 years old, and you are still embarrassing the Shen family."
"Of course it's not as good as you being the head of the household since you were only 24."
After sitting down, the aunt brought a new breakfast. Shen Qianshu then noticed the unfamiliar face next to Shen Qianfan. She looked at her as if asking who she was.
Xuan Qing met his curious gaze and introduced herself in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Hello, I'm Xuan Qing, the new secretary in the President's Office."
Shen Qianshu invited: "Then let's go together."
Xuan Qing smiled politely and said, "Thank you. I came here after breakfast."
Shen Qianfan picked up a piece of cut beef and dipped it into the sauce slowly, and continued to discipline this unruly brother: "Since you are not going to get married, then come to the company to help."
Xuan Qing was stunned. Did she hear it right? Arrange Shen Qianshu to join the company?
Shen Qianshu didn't show any obvious surprise. He drank a sip of milk and said, "It's spreading outside. You sent me abroad to prevent me from seizing power. You even arranged a scandal about Zou Jing to discredit me and make me lose my foothold in Shenzhen City in order to prevent me from marrying into the Zou family."
Shen Qianfan curled his lips subtly: "Then I don't recommend adding another one. I'll stop all your cards and turn you into a pauper."
It's important to hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. This is a matter of national economy and people's livelihood. Shen Qianshu didn't pretend anymore and just performed a Peking Opera face-changing: "Brother, stop teasing me. Look at your only brother. He's been so busy lately that he's lost weight. He can't eat or sleep well. He needs to eat a lot."
He acted so pitifully that Shen Qianfan actually glanced at him and asked, "Are you busy with serious matters?"
"nature."
Shen Qianfan smiled but didn’t express his opinion: “What’s the matter with the car?”
Suddenly being touched upon by a sad story, Shen Qianshu dejectedly picked and chose in the bowl, unable to hold back from telling the whole story: "Seriously, what do you think of me?"
"That's it." Shen Qianfan glanced at the minute hand of his watch and said casually.
"So am I childish? What right does she have to say I'm childish? Doesn't she like me being childish?"
"From what I hear, you've hit a wall with women."
"I..." Shen Qianshu met the playful light reflected in Shen Qianfan's pupils. Through the lenses, every eyelash was written with shrewdness. "Forget it, if you can guess a girl's mind, you wouldn't be single now."
He turned to the only woman present and said, "Xuan..."
"Xuanqing." Xuanqing hadn't recovered from the bizarre scene of brotherly love and respect, and responded a little late.
Shen Qianshu humbly asked: "If you girls say a boy is childish, what does it mean?"
"It means he is really childish." Xuan Qing blurted out subconsciously.
Shen Qianfan laughed out loud, a very light laugh, which was completely inconsistent with his calm and composed temperament. It was like the crisp "dingdong" sound of throwing a stone into a deep valley or lake, and Xuan Qing was completely awake.
Shen Qianshu held his chin with one hand, complaining to himself: "Then is there still hope for me?"
Realizing he'd lost his composure in front of his boss, Xuan Qing tactfully said, "Well, it depends on personality. Some people might prefer this style."
"Really?" Shen Qianshu's dead eyes sparkled with hope. "Xuan Mi, as the most discerning and independent woman in contemporary society, do you prefer someone like me who is romantic and humorous, or someone like my brother who is obsessed with money?"
"I..." Xuan Qing was in a dilemma, and it seemed that neither choice was suitable.
"Okay, don't embarrass my secretary." Shen Qianfan swallowed the last bite of beef, wiped his mouth with a napkin and jumped out to help.
Xuan Qing took the opportunity to make amends: "Actually, it's quite cute."
"No need to comfort him." Shen Qianfan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses that had slipped down his nose. "A man can't stand on his own. He will always be a little brat who hasn't been weaned. Instead of worrying about why she said you were childish, you might as well make some changes and make her look at you with new eyes."
He stood up, buttoned up his suit, and signaled Xuan Qing to take over the unfinished documents on the table. "Let's go. Don't waste your time on this immature little brother."
The little brother pronounced the three sounds very heavily.
Then he led his secretary away as Shen Qianshu looked at him, neither laughing nor crying.
Shen Qianshu was dejected, and thousands of kilometers away, Luo Shu also encountered a difficult problem.
She used to think that human babies were the cutest and most innocent creatures in the world, but ever since the marriage plan, what innocence did they have? They were clearly little devils with wings.
This outdoor wedding specially arranged a segment where flower girls scattered flowers and presented rings. A pair of 6-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, had curly hair and a black suit, while the girl had braided hair and a white dress. The scene alone was warm and harmonious, unless you could ignore the fact that they sprinkled the rose petals in their own flower baskets as if they were water, and then filled them with their own dolls and excavators filled with toys.
Not to mention trying to stop or persuade them, at the instigation of their older brother, the two siblings screamed like crazy and played hide-and-seek when they saw the staff, and even chased the colorful balloons that were left alone in an attempt to knock them down by throwing toys.
With such a time-bomb hidden danger, Luo Shu used both wits and courage, and finally caught the little boy with great effort. She coaxed him softly, "Little friend, you can't scatter these flowers now."
The little boy was naughty and didn't stay still even when being hugged. After punching and kicking him countless times without success, he bit Luo Shu's forearm without saying a word.
Although six years old is the period of teeth replacement, he still bit her hard. Luo Shu felt pain and quickly let go: "How can you bite me?"
The little boy, no longer restrained, stuck out his tongue at Luo Shu in protest, picked up a basket of toys, and ran away. He only took a few steps before he tripped over the toys he had thrown. Perhaps hurt from the fall and not wanting to be caught again, he crawled on his knees into the flowers at the waterfall, crying and shouting, "Auntie, you bullied me, I'm going to tell Mom and Dad."
Luo Shu frowned, helplessly stroking the varying depths of the tooth marks on her forearm. Then she heard Zhai Xiaowen's throat-wracking call again, "Sister, we need you to go over to the newcomer."
Ignoring the saliva and pain on the bite mark, he responded in a hoarse voice: "Here it comes."
This scene was seen by Fang Qingzhuo who was passing by not far away. He followed the figure closely until it disappeared at the end of the flowery road.
Assistant Tang Yan urged, "Mr. Fang, the car we arranged is almost here."
Fang Qingzhuo came here to attend a private enterprise symposium. Fang Jueshan was originally invited, but he was on a business trip recently, so he had to attend on his behalf.
"You go first. I saw a friend and will come right over after saying hello."
But he didn't look for the friend he was talking about, but went straight to the noisy little boy.
He half-squatted at the entrance of the flowers, half-closed his eyelids and looked down at the little one inside, giving orders in an arrogant manner.
"come out."
The little boy hid in the gap between the flower stands, huddled up with his knees hugged, hiccuping and sobbing intermittently. When he heard adults talking outside, he angrily took the only remaining Rubik's Cube toy in the basket and smashed it outside.
When the Rubik's Cube hit Fang Qingzhuo, his knee bounced off the grass and he brushed off the dust on his trousers with an expressionless face.
"Are you a man? You're just crying. What's the point of a sneak attack?"
The little boy stuck his head out and asked angrily who he was.
Fang Qingzhuo was too lazy to answer. He picked up the Rubik's Cube on the ground and fiddled with it randomly. It seemed that he had no method, but in fact, every step was in place.
The little boy's tearful eyes were instantly attracted by the way he easily turned the six-sided Rubik's Cube in a few seconds. He forgot to cry for a moment and crawled out to watch in person.
Fang Qingzhuo returned the Rubik's Cube to its original owner: "You clearly fell down yourself, why are you blaming others?"
Little boy: "Auntie first..."
Fang Qingzhuo interrupted and instructed: "Call me sister."
"My sister won't let me play with flower petals. It's annoying."
"Biting is wrong." Fang Qingzhuo was not used to him. "Apologize to your sister later."
The little boy was punished by standing there, clutching the fabric of his pants, hesitating whether he should agree or not.
"Do you want me to teach you how to solve the Rubik's Cube?" Fang Qingzhuo used his trump card.
The little boy raised his hand to wipe his tears, nodded solemnly, and said he missed it.
"Do you know what to do later?"
The little boy sniffed and said, "I know, uncle."
Fang Qingzhuo narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction and took the opportunity to pinch the boy's chubby cheek to avenge the bite: "Call me brother."
The little boy suddenly grimaced, then he recovered and held up half of his face: "Brother, what is your relationship with the sister just now? Why did you help her?"
Fang Qingzhuo's original words were: "She is my girlfriend, of course I stand on her side."
When she came back, Luo Shu was surprised to find that the little beast was sitting quietly on the bench and playing with the Rubik's Cube with his sister.
His face was covered with tears and snot, but I couldn't bear it anymore. I squatted in front of him, took out a wet tissue, wiped it gently for him, and tidied his clothes.
Seeing that it was Luo Shu, the little boy kept his promise and apologized in a childish voice: "I'm sorry, I bit you just now."
"It's okay."
Luo Shu was a little uncomfortable with his sensible behavior. She stroked his fluffy little curly hair and said, "I accept your apology."
Handing over the flower basket that had been refilled with petals, he said, "But you have to promise me that this time you won't take your sister to throw toys or chase balloons. It's too dangerous, okay?"
The little boy blinked his eyes, obviously reluctant to give up his toy. After thinking for a few seconds, he fixed his eyes on the distance, and in the blink of an eye he jumped up and agreed.
"I understand, sister."
No matter how slow Luo Shu was, she realized that something was wrong. She turned around suddenly, but found nothing.
