The Wen family.
Chu Jiang also led Xi Ran forward slowly, at a pace that could crush ants underfoot.
"Chu Jiangning, press the elevator button!"
"OK!"
Xi Ran was speechless. She wasn't even pregnant yet, was it really necessary to do this?
That's outrageous!
Xi Ran planned to have a good talk with the two siblings; things couldn't go on like this.
"Actually, I feel fine. I can walk on my own without help or anyone clearing a path for me. What you're saying is too exaggerated."
"That won't do!" they both said in unison.
Xi Ran sighed.
never mind!
They were so nervous because they listened to their mother-in-law.
The two of them are treating their mother-in-law's words like holy decrees, so she should give up struggling as the only clear choice.
"Brother! Where are we going?"
"Wen Jincheng lives in this community. Both sets of parents paid for the down payment for the house, so they'll have a foothold in G City now. We're going to their house for the wedding banquet. Wen Jincheng ordered three tables of good food and drinks directly from the restaurant and had them delivered to the Wen family home. You're in for a treat later."
"Oh, I see. Brother Wen Jincheng's approach is quite novel."
"Sigh! What's so novel about it? It's all because we're broke, and we're forced to come up with these methods out of desperation."
"Huh? Why?"
"To save money, they combined the wedding and the housewarming party."
"This is acceptable? Isn't that... too stingy!"
Shh! You guys should keep quiet, we're here!
Ding! The elevator doors opened, and the three of them arrived at the 7th floor.
"Brother! What room number was it again?"
"701"
The two were just about to look for their room number, their eyes scanning the room, when the door to room 701 opened and there were already quite a few guests inside.
"You've arrived?"
Wen Jincheng had been watching them ever since they got off the elevator. “Come in quickly, no need to change your shoes.”
As soon as the three entered, acquaintances immediately came over to greet them.
Qiu Bojie stepped forward and put his arm around Chu Jiangyi's arm. "Brother Yi! You're so busy! You're the last one here!"
"Of course, my Ranran is pregnant, so I have to drive carefully."
What?! Junior Xi Ran is pregnant?!
"Yes! Someone like you who is unmarried would never understand how I feel right now."
Qiu Bojie was speechless and rolled his eyes. It was like he didn't have a girlfriend. He would get married as soon as possible, but the conditions didn't allow it right now. It was good to have a rich father; there was no pressure to survive.
"What are you bragging about? I'll save enough money to get married in two more years if I work hard."
"That's pretty impressive!"
"That's right!"
"You're really getting cocky when I say you're fat."
"Of course, after all, Brother Yi doesn't get to praise me very often."
Xiao Zhebin sat to the side, feeling somewhat helpless. He had been very busy lately and had been saving his salary, but it wasn't much. Nowadays, girls all demanded a car and a house, something he could never achieve in his lifetime, and he was still single.
It seems he'll be single for life. Given his family situation, he won't be able to find a wife unless he goes back to his hometown, but he's unwilling to go home.
I don't want to live under my parents' control anymore...
But if he doesn't go home, he won't be able to establish himself in the big city...
Take everyday things as an example.
Coming home from get off work to a lifeless room can be really lonely...
I don't know where to go during my vacation?
well! ! !
Everyone was happily chatting about recent events, and the atmosphere was quite good. Xiao Zhebin, however, didn't participate at all and sat to the side, chugging beer.
Xi Ran noticed Xiao Zhebin's actions, nudged Chu Jiangyi, and gestured for him to look at Xiao Zhebin.
After being reminded by Xi Ran, Chu Jiang turned his attention to Xiao Zhebin.
He was hiding in a corner, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Chu Jiang's voice arrived before he did.
"Xiao Zhebin, you've really made something of yourself! The banquet hasn't even started yet, and you're already drinking..."
"No, I was just a little thirsty, and I happened to see some beer, so I drank two cans... It was thirst-quenching and delicious... Congratulations on becoming a father."
"Thank you! How have you been lately? I haven't seen you join the group chat."
"It's fine. I've been quite busy lately, so... I haven't been chatting in the group much..."
Chu Jiang pursed his lips, unsure how to begin. Of the four roommates, Qiu Bojie and Wen Jincheng had found jobs that matched their skills and were shining in their respective fields.
He and Xiao Zhebin were the only two with the same major. Switching to a different field is quite difficult; everything had to be learned from scratch... He didn't know what the future held...
His situation was slightly better; someone offered him a role in a short drama, which brought in a considerable income. Xiao Zhebin's life was not so good; he had to give up what he had learned over four years and start all over again.
