Chapter 142 The Wedding (Part 1)
Pei Wu hadn't slept enough either. When he arrived at Jiguang Island, his feet were still feeling unsteady. He barely managed to stay excited with Lu Xiwen for a while before going back to his room for a nap.
When they opened their eyes to the bright sunset, Guan Yan and his family had just arrived.
Guan Yan took over and lay down to catch up on sleep with great focus.
Pei Wu helped with the hospitality, while Guan's mother quickly changed her clothes and immediately called Chu Lin out.
"Oh my, the scenery here is so beautiful. Xiao Yan told me about it before, but I didn't really understand." Guan's mother took Chu Lin's arm and unexpectedly bumped into several wealthy ladies from their circle.
In front of others, Chu Lin very cooperatively took various photos of Guan's mother.
Many people think that Guan Yan's parents are just using wishful thinking to achieve their goals. Their only son is an Omega, and if he marries an Alpha, the family fortune might end up in someone else's hands. So no matter how outstanding Guan Yan is or how prosperous the Guan family business is, they all have a bit of a "watching the show" mentality.
However, Chu Lin followed behind Guan's mother, his body strong and muscular, yet obedient and compliant.
"Where's Xiao Yan? I haven't seen her." Mrs. Gao pretended to glance around, but was actually subtly sizing up Chu Lin: "And this is..."
Guan's mother thought to herself, "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"
But she still replied very kindly, "Ah, Chu Lin, Xiao Yan's Alpha, my half-son."
"Shouldn't it be just one?" Chu Lin asked sadly. "Auntie, is there something I did wrong?"
His features are striking and deep; even the slightest expression can convey something remarkable. When he's sad, he looks exactly like someone who has been abandoned, making him incredibly endearing.
"No, no, he's my own son, my whole son, just like Xiao Yan."
Mrs. Gao's lips twitched as she looked at her eldest son, who was busy soaking in the water on the beach not far away. She felt a pang of despair in her heart. It was one thing that he was not as good as Guan Yan normally, but even the one Guan Yan found was no match for him!
"So sturdy." Mrs. Gao reached out and poked Chu Lin's hard arm. "It's an A-grade, right?"
Guan's mother smiled shyly: "It's a high-level one."
Mrs. Gao's heart pounded. In fact, many people in the circle wanted their children to marry Guan Yan. They all knew what their motives were, but Guan Yan didn't think much of any of them. Someone once mocked, "Are you really planning to find someone of a higher rank?"
They actually found it and showed it to you.
"How long has Guan Yan been pursuing you?" Mrs. Gao asked in a final attempt to clarify.
Chu Lin grinned, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth: "I'm pursuing Guan Yan, and I'm willing to be his dog."
"..."
Guan's mother almost lost her composure, suppressing a laugh as she patted Chu Lin's arm: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Although it's high-level, I've heard that some high-level ones are not even as good as strong A." A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, showing how jealousy can cloud one's judgment.
Lu Xiwen happened to be passing by and, being very polite, pointed at Chu Lin and said, "He can fight me to a draw."
Holy crap! Chu Lin was shocked. He thought to himself, "Brother, I wouldn't dare to agree to your boast. A draw, maybe 30/70 at most. If you knock me down in three punches, I'll be past my seventh day of mourning."
However, it has a strong deterrent effect.
The people surrounding them immediately retreated, and Mrs. Gao looked at Guan's mother with fear. After all, it was quite terrifying to be attacked by high-ranking officials in the middle of the night if you offended her.
Um……
"That's not impossible," Chu Lin silently agreed.
"Chu Lin, go play for a while, I'm going back to my room first." Guan's mother said with a happy face, "I still need to edit the photos."
As soon as Guan's mother left, Chu Lin immediately found Lu Xiwen.
At that time, Lu Xiwen was directing three workers to fix a carved wooden pillar in the sand. It had already been painted and a lantern or something could be hung up tomorrow.
The workers struggled to steady the sand, and one of them said to Lu Xiwen with some difficulty, "Sir, the sand is not very dense and it is difficult to support for a long time."
"Just go deeper, right?" Chu Lin said, taking the wooden post with one hand. "Loosen it, loosen it, yes, I caught it."
Under Lu Xiwen's ambiguous gaze, Chu Lin's arms bulged with veins. He found a good spot and shoved the wooden post into the sand with decisive force. The end went in a bit in an instant. Once it stopped shaking, Chu Lin adjusted the angle and pushed the post deeper, ensuring that it would not fall over unless a sea breeze came.
"Why don't you do it yourself?" Chu Lin asked.
Lu Xiwen said, "I'm a little excited, and I can't control my strength."
Chu Lin understood. Yes, the top hammer master was skilled, but his strength was too astonishing. If he exerted too much force, the wooden pillar could be shattered on the spot.
"Oh, by the way, thanks for earlier." Chu Lin smiled smugly, "You really gave me too much face."
Lu Xiwen glanced at him sideways, "So what should you do?"
Chu Lin: "Don't mention it, I'll go wherever you need me."
When Pei Wu brought over the drinks, Chu Lin had just helped Lu Xiwen drag a large piece of dried deadwood to the shooting area. It was very thick and hollow in the center. The branches, naturally eroded by wind and frost, retained a unique posture. Using it as a backdrop would be very memorable. There would be no problem for seven or eight people to stand inside.
"Don't bother." Pei Wu handed out chilled coconut juice to them.
The sun suddenly sank below the horizon, its afterglow tinged with darkness by the night. The sky was ablaze with vibrant colors, then slowly faded into silence at a visible pace.
Deep shadows were cast on everyone's faces.
“He can’t stay still.” Chu Lin chuckled and drank most of the coconut juice in one gulp.
"Is Guan Yan still asleep?"
"I think I'll sleep until tomorrow morning."
As they spoke, Kuang Junmeng and Cao Guan led a few people toward them, saying, "Is there anything else we can help you with? You're such a big shot!"
Lu Xiwen put his arm around Pei Wu's shoulder and looked around: "There are some old wooden chairs in the warehouse, they have a nice feel to them and they match this place. Help me move them over."
"Okay."
As darkness fell, Lan Zhe escorted the last group of guests to the island.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Xiwen generously handed over a red envelope.
"Mr. Lu, you're too kind!" Lan Zhe said, but in the blink of an eye, he took the money and put it in his pocket.
Pei Wu suddenly realized something, "Has President Zou arrived?"
Mr. Zou, who was busy stealing among the crowd and trying to minimize his presence: "..."
Mr. Zou's original name was Zou Xunxian. He was the head of several listed companies. He had done a lot of ideological work and finally mustered up the courage to poach people from other companies, but he was caught red-handed by Lu Xiwen.
Sure enough, he should have gone when his mother asked him to accompany her to offer incense. This displeased the Bodhisattva and caused him to have a major Mercury retrograde.
Lan Zhe thought for a moment, then decided to betray his brother: "Here he is."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a man took out a helmet from his bulging handbag, put it on deftly, and then looked at Lu Xiwen with a look of resignation and a faint smile in his eyes.
Lu Xiwen: "..."
Lu Xiwen couldn't help but ask Lan Zhe, "Does he have some misunderstanding about me?"
Lan Zhe paused, then couldn't help but say, "President Lu, actually you have some misunderstandings about yourself."
"For example?"
For example, you always think you're easy to talk to.
"..."
