Chapter 716 Wedding Countdown, Lin Yun's Wedding Gift
Jiang Xun's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "I didn't expect Miss Chu to have such a bad habit of making fun of people behind their backs!"
Chu Yuke laughed awkwardly: "...It's not exactly teasing, is it? It's really unsettling that a grown man like you faints from a little blood."
"Men are human too, so what if they're afraid of blood!" Jiang Xun broke down his defenses and retorted, not to be outdone, "You think I'm low, but I think you're mean and lack femininity!"
Chu Yuke: "?"
She's mean-spirited, and she lacks femininity?
"Jiang Xun, get this straight. I was the first one to pick you up when you fainted. You're such a big guy, you were on top of me. I didn't faint from hemorrhage, I fainted from being crushed by you!"
"Well, thank you then!" Jiang Xun sneered. "But next time, Miss Chu, you don't need to worry about me. Anyway, I'm so low-class, it would be beneath Miss Chu to save someone as low-class as me!"
Chu Yuke's face turned red with anger: "Jiang Xun, don't be ungrateful!"
"Ha!" Jiang Xun rolled his eyes. "You didn't see any good intentions, all you saw was a sharp tongue!"
"You..." Chu Yuke pointed at Jiang Xun, her chest heaving, and finally flung her hand away, coldly snorting, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with a low-class man like you who's all brawn and no brains!"
"Low-class man?" Jiang Xun put one hand on his hip and took several deep breaths. However, Chu Yuke was a woman, so he couldn't really get angry and make a move. He laughed in anger, nodded, and made a gesture of invitation to Chu Yuke, his tone provocative: "Attorney Chu is very generous. Then please make your way!"
"Don't worry, I don't want to stay a moment longer where you are!" Chu Yuke said, then turned and strode out.
"Senior sister, wait for me!" Shen Anning sighed, turned to Qi Yue and said, "I'm going to check on her," before hurrying off to catch up with Chu Yuke.
Qi Yue frowned as he watched from behind: "Don't run, slow down."
...
Jiang Xun wiped his face to calm down, then looked at Qi Yue and said, "I'll go check on A Ye's situation. You go and stay with your wife; she's pregnant and we can't be careless."
Qi Yue nodded and, without standing on ceremony, went straight to catch up with Shen Anning.
Jiang Xun watched as Qi Yue caught up with Shen Anning in a few steps, then pulled her into a tight embrace. The scene was undeniably warm and sweet.
Getting married actually seems like a pretty good thing.
Jiang Xun shook his head.
It's just a pity that he hasn't met a woman he wants to marry.
Originally, I was only going to meet Chu Yuke tonight because of Shen Anning, but I didn't expect Chu Yuke's personality to be like this!
She appears gentle and intellectual in public, but I never expected her to be so mean and sharp-tongued in private!
Hmph, it's a good thing he made it very clear from the beginning that he ruined this blind date, otherwise who knows how the two families' parents would be trying to match them up now!
Jiang Xun secretly rejoiced once again at his own cleverness.
...
Wen Yanbai took Zhou Jingye and Wen Yusen to apply the medicine. Actually, it wasn't necessary for him to accompany the two grown men to apply the medicine.
Wen Yanbai personally accompanied them because he was afraid the two of them would start fighting again at the hospital.
When Jiang Xun arrived, Wen Yusen and Zhou Jing had just finished applying the medicine.
Seeing the two people's faces, which were like a palette of colors, Jiang Xun burst out laughing without giving them any face.
This attracted two menacing gazes.
Jiang Xun: "..."
"Ahem!" Jiang Xun's smile faded, he coughed twice, frowned and said seriously, "We're all respectable people, can't we talk things out? Fighting is so unpleasant, look at your injuries... Pfft, hahahaha!"
Jiang Xun turned around, one hand on the wall, the other clutching his stomach, laughing so hard he almost fell over: "I can't take it anymore, I'm sorry, I really can't hold it in, hahaha! Just thinking about you guys going to the company tomorrow with those pig-like faces, I'm just... hahahahaha—"
Wen Yusen: "..."
Zhou Jingye: "..."
Wen Yanbai stepped forward and punched his chest. "Stop laughing. I can't stop them from beating you up together!"
"..." Jiang Xun stopped laughing instantly, raised his hand to his mouth and made a zipping motion, "I've behaved myself, please let me go."
Wen Yusen straightened his suit, turned and walked away with a cold face.
Jiang Xun watched Wen Yusen walk away and frowned, saying, "President Wen just left like that, what about Yunbao..."
“Yunbao has nothing to do with him!” Zhou Jing interrupted Jiang Xun coldly. “He is my son with Sister Yunqin! Jiang Xun, remember this: Yunbao’s mother is Sister Yunqin, and his father is me. Don’t make me say this a second time.”
This was the first time Jiang Xun had ever seen Zhou Jing act like this.
Zhou Sanshao, who usually dates female celebrities and internet influencers and changes girlfriends on average every month, has become someone's stepfather, and he treats this stepfather with more care than his own father!
In fact, anyone with eyes can see that even if Yun Bao is not Wen Yusen's son, she can never be Zhou Jingye's son.
Yun Qin has always treated Zhou Jingye as a younger brother. This is an indisputable fact that both of them are well aware of, and even their brothers have witnessed it over the years.
However, this was Zhou Jingye's own choice, and although Jiang Xun, as his brother, could not understand it, he respected Zhou Jingye's decision.
"I understand." Jiang Xun took a deep breath and said, "But since you've chosen to be Yunbao's father, you shouldn't be so impulsive in the future. Today, you and Wen Yusen got into a fight in front of Yunbao, and Yunbao was terrified. She's still crying in Xiaoxue's arms!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jing's expression changed. "Where are they?"
"The rest area outside the emergency room lobby."
Zhou Jing immediately turned around and strode towards the emergency room lobby.
"Go and take a look, I'll go find Wen Yusen." Wen Yanbai said and left.
"What a tragic fate..." Jiang Xun shook his head and sighed, then walked towards the emergency room.
...
Outside the emergency room, Zhou Jing also took the sleeping Yunbao from Bai Xiaoxue's hands.
Rainbow Duck nestled on Zhou Jingye's shoulder, still sobbing and calling for her mother in her sleep.
Zhou Jing also frowned, his expression somber. He looked at Bai Xiaoxue and said in a low voice, "Thank you for taking care of Yunbao."
"Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. It's fate that Yunbao likes to play with me." Bai Xiaoxue has a slight social anxiety, especially when facing a big boss like Zhou Jingye. She doesn't dare to look up at Zhou Jingye when she speaks.
"Well, Sister Anning and Sister Ake are still waiting for me outside, so Mr. Zhou, I'll be going now!" Bai Xiaoxue nodded to Zhou Jingye, then turned and hurriedly ran out of the hospital.
Zhou Jing had no time to pay attention to Bai Xiaoxue. He held Yunbao and stood there for a long time without moving.
The corridor was dimly lit. A tall man held a child, his head bowed, his large hand gently stroking the child's back, muttering softly, "Sister Yunqin, where are you...?"
…
The seventh day of the third lunar month, the day before the wedding.
The grand wedding, which carries the high expectations of both families, has officially entered its countdown phase.
The Lijiang Villa has been bustling since yesterday. More than a thousand invitations have been sent out, not only to guests from Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu's side, but also to Fu Nian'an's side.
The more invitations sent, the more congratulatory gifts received.
Song Lanyin, Wen Jingxi, and Qin Yancheng and his wife all came to help in advance. Even Bai Xiaoxue and Chu Yuke came. The entire law firm was given a week of paid leave.
Every gift brought by the guests had to be inventoried and recorded before being sent to an empty room on the first floor specifically for storing gifts. These favors would have to be repaid later.
The bride, Shen Anning, was actually quite curious about the trivial matters of the wedding, but the elders were worried that with so many people helping out at home these days, they might accidentally bump into Shen Anning, so they told her to stay upstairs.
Fortunately, several families' children came, so they naturally became the designated playmates.
In the sunroom on the second floor, the morning sun was warm and pleasant, making people feel drowsy.
Shen Anning leaned back on the sofa, yawned, and flicked a pair of '8's from her slender fingers while holding a deck of cards. She lifted her eyelids and looked at Wen Songyi, who was six years younger than her and would be taking the college entrance exam in a few months: "You want to apply to Peking University's acting department? You want to be a star?"
“Yes, I like it!” Wen Songyi threw down two cards. “But my dad disagrees, so I plan to act first and ask for his permission later!”
“Yes.” Shen Anning emphasized ruthlessly: “If you apply to Peking University, your dad will kill you first, and your mom will beat you up later.”
Wen Songyi: "..."
"I can't afford it!" Qin Shiyou looked up at his next opponent, Fu Nianjin: "Little Nianjin, do you have one? If you don't, your sister is going to win again!"
Fu Nianjin, her face contorted with frustration from the loss, pouted and shook her head: "I didn't..."
Qin Shiyou: "..."
"I have it!" Shen Anning threw down the last two cards in her hand and triumphantly held out her hand to them: "Sorry, I'm just in high spirits and my luck is just incredible. Here, pay up!"
"She's carrying twins, what incredible luck!" Qin Shiyou couldn't help but give Shen Anning a thumbs up.
Shen Anning raised an eyebrow, patted her stomach, and felt incredibly good about winning money all morning!
The other three reluctantly pulled out their money.
They were playing with cash. Shen Anning held the brand-new 100-yuan bills she had just received in her hand and shook them: "The wind smells of money!"
The other three stared at him with the same mournful look: "..."
Just then, Bai Xiaoxue walked up to Shen Anning with a gift box in her hand. "Sister Anning, this gift box was sent by Miss Lin. She said she wanted to personally deliver it to you, saying it was a wedding gift from Uncle Luo to you and President Qi."
Shen Anning paused, her gaze sweeping over the gift box in Bai Xiaoxue's hand.
"Lin Yun delivered it personally?"
Bai Xiaoxue nodded: "Yes, but Miss Lin left after delivering the things."
