Chapter 55 Thank you for personally arranging Jiang Xiliu's wedding. This is related to him...
The tide is receding, and people have already set up grills on the beach to prepare for barbecuing.
The small island they are currently on is filled with guests attending Lu Xinyue's wedding, apart from the staff.
The official wedding banquet is tomorrow, but today is the bride and groom's bachelor party. Everyone is divided by gender, with the girls occupying the east side with the bride and the boys occupying the west side with the groom.
Oh, not entirely.
Ye Qishan managed to join the bride's bachelor party thanks to his incredibly thick skin.
When Jin Zhao called, the bachelor party was already at its peak.
The performance, comparable to a male idol show in a certain country, drew gasps of amazement from everyone.
Ye Qishan couldn't help but touch his own muscles as he watched, and muttered, "These guys must be drinking protein powder."
It was too noisy here. Jiang Xiliu hung up once, but Jin Zhao was persistent and kept calling.
Ye Qishan leaned closer and asked, seemingly casually, "Why does your phone keep ringing? Is it spam?"
Jiang Xiliu glanced at Ye Qishan, who was following closely behind her, and her expression turned cold.
"Mind your own business." She stood up, taking her phone and the chubby hamster with her. Before leaving, she tossed out the words, "Not even worth as much as trash."
Jiang Xiliu walked towards a secluded spot on the island.
Seeing that Ye Qishan had finally annoyed Jiang Xiliu, Lu Xinyue immediately picked up her wine glass and walked over to mock him: "Oh, oh, oh, can't catch up, can you?"
Lu Xinyue and Ye Qishan didn't have a very good relationship. Back when they were in school, all the girls in the class loved to play with Jiang Xiliu. Whenever they were having fun, Ye Qishan would always squeeze in, shamelessly sticking up next to Jiang Xiliu, trying to capture her attention.
Although Ye Qishan always fails, it doesn't stop others from disliking him.
Lu Xinyue only wanted Jiang Xiliu to come to her wedding, and the reason Ye Qishan was here was because he privately messaged her every ten minutes, pestering her to come.
Ye Qishan had a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't light it. He just took a few puffs to vent his frustration: "What do you know?"
At least Jiang Xiliu was willing to see him, but Shen Yu didn't even have the chance to see her.
Human happiness is always relative.
"You'd better give up now." Lu Xinyue gave him a disdainful look. "You're not good enough for Xiliu. At best, you're just a backup option."
After she finished speaking, she changed her mind: "You're not even a backup option. Besides your looks and a little money, you don't have anything to offer. You're not smart, and you don't know how to play tricks. You're just a bad match."
Ye Qishan: ...
He pulled the cigarette off the table, crushed it, and threw it on the empty round table: "Lu Xinyue, you're getting married tomorrow, can't you say something nice? You're just saying unlucky and depressing things."
Unlucky?
Lu Xinyue laughed heartily: "I was trying to give you some advice, but do you know what kind of expression you had on your face when Xiliu left just now?"
"Although I don't know what you're upset about, looking at Xiliu's back, I feel like you're so pitiful that you're about to break."
Ye Qishan wiped his face with both hands: "Bullshit."
Damn it, what exactly did he lose to that pretty boy Jin Zhao?
Lu Xinyue admired the male models posing provocatively not far away: "Sigh, they're still a bit too greasy, not flavorful enough."
"Waaah—" The suppressed sobs startled Lu Xinyue so much that she almost spilled her wine.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the man who had made the sound.
Ye Qishan squatted on the ground, still having some sense of shame, covering his face with his hands and crying loudly.
He was really upset: he was clearly the most hardworking, but why didn't anyone have faith in him?
He even started imitating Jin Zhao, that pretty boy, for Jiang Xiliu's sake!
"Clink." The sound of wine glasses clinking together was extremely light and crisp.
Lu Xinyue looked at Jiang Xiliu, who had returned, and the two smiled at each other, drinking their wine while watching what Ye Qishan was up to.
Ye Qishan, taking advantage of the incredibly noisy music, cried his heart out in frustration.
He cried until he was done, then looked up, struggling to open his tear-blurred eyes. He could vaguely see two people and a rat standing in front of him.
Ye Qishan: ...How embarrassing!
Jiang Xiliu is about to criticize him again, saying he's not as good as Jin Zhao.
But he was crying so hard that it couldn't be stopped by alcohol in a short time. He tilted his head back, sniffed, and made an embarrassing "pig grunt" sound.
Lu Xinyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, and took out her phone to take a picture.
Ye Qishan said angrily, "Hey Lu, next time you take a candid photo, could you please turn off the flash?!"
He's been crying for so long that he can't see clearly anymore, but he's not blind!
"Oh," Lu Xinyue replied casually, then took out the photo and showed it to Jiang Xiliu. "Look, she can cry even more than when she was a child."
Ye Qishan turned his head away and stood up from the sand, embarrassed.
Jiang Xiliu glanced at the photo calmly: "She was even cuter when she cried as a child."
“That’s true,” Lu Xinyue agreed. “Ye Er looked like a doll when he was little.”
Ye Qishan gritted his teeth. What good is looking like a doll? After Jiang Xiliu found out he was a boy, she stopped wanting to play with him!
"Did you finish your call with that guy surnamed Jin?" Ye Qishan thought he had wiped his face clean and made sure his first words weren't choked up before pushing aside the obstructing Lu Xinyue.
Lu Xinyue rolled her eyes, clinked glasses with Jiang Xiliu, drank her glass in one gulp, and then left the space back to them.
Jiang Xiliu's brows were not smooth.
Ye Qishan realized a beat late: She was annoyed, again because of that guy surnamed Jin?
He tried to reach out and grab her, but as soon as he raised his hand, Jiang Xiliu slapped the hamster aside, saying, "It's filthy."
Ye Qishan, who had already cried so bitterly: ...
System 0777, used as a stick to strike Ye Qishan's dirty hands: ...
Jiang Xiliu sat upright on a beach chair, not leaning back: "Kneel down and come here."
Her eyes were indifferent, without a trace of a smile.
Ye Qishan moved swiftly, but his expression was not good. He said, "Jiang Xiliu, let me tell you, I only kneel before my wife. Asking me to kneel is no different from proposing to me."
The hamster system 0777, who knew the inside story, stared incredulously with its beady black eyes: "Can you really force someone to buy and sell like this?"
Jiang Xiliu wasn't even in the mood to joke with Ye Qishan: "You and Jin Zhao exchanged contact information?"
Ye Qishan's face darkened even further: "Yeah."
If he weren't kneeling, he would sound quite tough.
"Take out your phone and give it to me," Jiang Xiliu commanded.
Ye Qishan refused: "I don't let outsiders see my phone. Only my wife can see it, oh, and my future wife can see it too. You—"
Jiang Xiliu immediately raised her hand and slapped him: "Ye Qishan!"
"You told Jin Zhao that I'm looking at wedding venues with him, right?"
Ye Qishan pretended to be dead and remained silent: "..."
Another slap landed, and Ye Qishan chuckled, pressing his tongue against his cheek, which was still numb from the impact.
[System 0777's data report: Miss! We need to try a different approach. Ye Qishan had his fill of being slapped by you twice; data analysis suggests he'll do it again next time!]
Jiang Xiliu felt that what the system said made sense.
The main reason was that she was speechless and angry, and in her anger, she hit her own palm so hard it hurt.
"What else did you lie to him about? Tell me yourself." Jiang Xiliu sneered, sat back a little, and placed her feet on his knees.
Ye Qishan tilted his head slightly and said, "I didn't lie to him."
"It just means you're getting a marriage certificate with him, but you'll have a wedding with me."
"Anything else?" Jiang Xiliu narrowed her eyes. "Didn't I also arrange a role for your good master?"
"...What master? Don't talk nonsense. Haven't I already explained it to you? I only play with him for your sake."
"Don't look at me like that. I just said casually that once we have children, he won't even have a chance to come and help. Shen Yu will be eager to come and take care of the children."
Jiang Xiliu really wanted to applaud this "daydreamer" for spouting nonsense with such self-righteousness, which prompted Jin Zhao to call and say he wanted a divorce.
Fortunately, the main storyline progress didn't slow down, otherwise Jiang Xiliu really wanted to beat this idiot into a pig's head.
Even if they are destined to divorce, it can't be now.
“Originally, I wasn’t planning on having a wedding with Jin Zhao,” Jiang Xiliu said with a smile. “Thanks to your fuss, we’re going to have a wedding now.”
Jin Zhao directly quoted Jiang Xiliu's reply, "No," and asked her, "Are you going to do it with Ye Qishan?"
After waiting for several hours without receiving a reply from Jiang Xiliu, Jin Zhao started calling her incessantly.
He started by saying, "If you want freedom, I can give it to you."
Jiang Xiliu was completely stunned.
Appropriate "torture" can help increase emotional bond, and Jiang Xiliu has always mastered this perfectly.
In the original storyline, she expressed her affection by showering him with money and being incredibly kind to him; now, she expresses it by subtly and gradually winning him over through a balanced approach.
Jin Zhao is very perceptive and sensitive.
But Ye Qishan passed by the foundation she had just built, poured gasoline on it, lit it, and spectacularly collapsed the foundation.
Jiang Xiliu was impressed. At this moment, she finally understood the saying on the internet: "A bad person's elaborate schemes are no match for a fool's quick thinking."
Ye Qishan exclaimed "Ah!" He had just cried so emotionally that his eyes, nose, and cheeks were red, and coupled with his bewildered expression, he looked really silly.
"What do you mean? Why do we need a wedding? Didn't we say we wouldn't have one with him?"
Jiang Xiliu felt a little angry when she heard Ye Qishan's voice. She turned her face away and took a few deep breaths.
"Because you went and said those things to him, he wants a divorce." Jiang Xiliu slapped his face with a hamster, speaking sarcastically, "My husband is angry, so shouldn't I try to appease him?"
Ye Qishan moved his lips: "...Then let's get a divorce."
He was still kneeling when Jiang Xiliu kicked him.
He kicked her in the back, and before kicking her, she was still wearing slippers: "You said you'd give me a big gift for my wedding, and I've already thought of what to give you."
"You have to take responsibility for the trouble you caused." Jiang Xiliu stood up. Even though she had been lying down all day with the system, it didn't stop her from going to bed before midnight. "Didn't you brag to Jin Zhao that you were good at picking wedding supplies? Well then, I'll leave my wedding with Jin Zhao to you. You pay for it and you take care of it."
Jiang Xiliu was too lazy to waste her time on such things.
Ye Qishan started crying again. He wanted to shout at Jiang Xiliu's back, but was worried that others would hear him: "Jiang Xiliu, you can't do this to me." She's too wicked. Jiang Xiliu doesn't treat him like a human being at all.
Jiang Xiliu stopped and turned around: "You're not willing to give me this big gift?"
“…No.” Jiang Xiliu rarely spoke up about what she wanted, so Ye Qishan had no reason not to give it to her.
From another perspective, he personally arranged Jiang Xiliu's wedding, which was no different from him being the groom.
He wiped away his tears: "I'm willing."
Jiang Xiliu left after hearing the answer.
After calming down for a while, Ye Qishan wanted to take out his phone and yell at Jin Zhao.
After unlocking, he discovered that Jin Zhao had sent him a two-second voice message twenty minutes earlier.
Thank you.
