Ye Jianming told Rong Yan that Zhao Rong was today's bridesmaid.
Rong Yan stared wide-eyed for a long time without saying a word.
She doesn't believe in coincidences; there aren't that many coincidences in this world, more often than not, they're premeditated.
However, if Ye Jianming hadn't thought of it that way, she certainly wouldn't have raised any doubts first.
"She said it wasn't a coincidence. She already knew about me and my relationship with you all." Ye Jianming didn't hide anything from Rong Yan and the others. He told Rong Yan everything that Zhao Rong had told him.
“Ye Jianming, I think her getting close to you has nothing to do with Zhou Luo. She must have gotten to know you first, and then found out that everyone knew each other.” Rong Yan analyzed, “Otherwise, what would she be after? The girl doesn’t go to work, which means she’s financially secure. It’s not like she’s after your money. Is it because she’s attracted to your looks? The girl is so pretty.”
"What did Rong Yan mean by that last sentence? Are you saying I'm not attractive enough? Am I not handsome enough?" Ye Jianming said indignantly, "I was also thinking about what she was after when we were eating. Zhao Rong's family also owns a company, and she's a local. I offered her coffee, but she refused. Obviously, she's not after money. Besides, she is quite pretty. She may not be as pretty as you, but she's much prettier than Zhou Luo and Shen Xingzhi."
"What did Shen Xingzhi do to you? Why did you say she's ugly?" Rong Yan couldn't help but retort.
"Stop arguing, you two. We're all equal now. Who's after whom? At least Zhao hasn't done anything to hurt you yet. It's normal for you to have mutual acquaintances, so why overthink it?" Fu Jingsheng interrupted the two. "Ye Jianming, have you lost anything?"
"No." Ye Jianming shook his head.
“That’s settled then. You’re not losing out. It’s not uncommon for people to turn around and find that everyone is someone you know. I don’t believe you don’t have other friends who you know who you’ve turned around to.” Fu Jingsheng continued.
"Of course, Lao Fu, I'm actually convinced by you." Ye Jianming said with a sigh of relief. "To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with Zhao Rong. We're just one step away from confessing our feelings. If she has other motives, I'll be very upset. But after your analysis, I believe what she said."
"Ye Jianming, you're almost thirty years old. What would people lie to you about? Where is the trust between people?" Rong Yan said disdainfully.
"Twenty-nine? Thank you. That's called being in your twenties," Ye Jianming corrected. "Your twenties and your thirties are not the same."
"Alright, alright, you're young, I'm old, we have a generation gap now, can we go home now?" Rong Yan was tired.
"Let's go home. I'll let you meet properly next time." The man who was still considering whether to distance himself from Zhao Rong at the banquet suddenly wanted to introduce her to his friends. He changed his mind very quickly.
“Sure, you can arrange it.” Rong Yan didn’t refuse.

In the new house.
The best man blocked the door and made the groom answer questions; only if he answered correctly could he enter the bridal chamber.
Zhou Luo and her three bridesmaids and three groomsmen were locked in a room.
"Brothers, open the door, I'll give you red envelopes right away." Fu Jingchen was afraid that everyone would cause trouble, as pregnant women couldn't withstand any commotion.
"Sending red envelopes directly is no fun, answer our questions first." Several people chimed in.
"What's the problem?" Fu Jingchen asked as he pushed the door open, but the door was locked and wouldn't budge.
People inside and outside the door are shouting at the top of their lungs; if they speak even slightly softer, the other person can't hear them.
At the beginning, the best man asked some questions about the bride's height, which Fu Jingchen answered with ease.
Then their questions became excessive.
When did the two people first get together, and were they both virgins?
Fu Jingchen wanted to lie, but the best man said that lying on the wedding night was unlucky.
Zhou Luo was getting anxious.
Zhao Rong chimed in, "That's enough. What if the young couple doesn't know how many exes each other has, or they're hiding something from each other? Asking like this will only cause trouble right after they get married." The woman said softly.
“Fu Jingchen, I’m not kidding anymore. Let’s open a crack and slip in some red envelopes and cigarettes.”
"Okay." Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and Fu Jingchen prepared a generous red envelope.
He handed in the imperial edict and six red envelopes: "Are you satisfied?"
Everyone opened the door and took a look: "As expected of the boss, so generous! Brothers, open the door!"
Fu Jingchen finally came in.
But then, the groomsmen stayed in the room and refused to leave, so they asked him to find the bride's headdress.
Fu Jingchen was kept up until midnight, and sent out several red envelopes.
Zhou Luo almost lost his temper. What kind of friends did Fu Jingchen choose? They all only know how to swindle money.
But thinking that today was her wedding day, and such a good day could not be tainted, the woman sat there swallowing her anger.
After watching everyone leave, Fu Jingchen kept smiling and said, "Drive carefully on the road."
The house returned to quiet.
The man went back to the bedroom to comfort his wife.
"Luo Luo, Da Fei and the others love to have fun. I'm just worried that there won't be anyone to keep them quiet at the wedding. Don't be angry. In a few days, I'll go and settle accounts with them. Anyway, they're not married yet. When they get married, I'll definitely make a bigger scene." Fu Jingchen was worried that Zhou Luo would be angry all night, but thankfully the woman held back until the end.
"If I had known they were playing like this, I definitely wouldn't have let them be the best man. Today is our wedding day, don't let them ruin our mood, just smile and relax." The man made a face.
Zhou Luo chuckled: "Tch, since you made me happy, I won't hold it against them. Look how nice the bridesmaids are, none of them gave you a hard time. On the contrary, they helped us persuade the groomsmen not to cause trouble."
"Yes, your friends are all real, but you really should thank Zhao Rong; she worked hard today," Fu Jingchen said.
"Yes, I'll treat her to dinner another day. Rongrong is the best." Zhou Luo was overjoyed to see her husband approve of her best friend so much.
Fu Jingchen put his arm around Zhou Luo's shoulder and said, "I'll treat you. Please treat all three bridesmaids."
“Okay, Jingchen, we’re finally legally married. From now on, everyone will know I’m your wife.” Zhou Luo held the man’s hand. “It feels like a dream.”
Fu Jingchen cupped the woman's face in his hands, his gaze intense. "I'm not dreaming. It's true. Not only are we legally married, but we've also let everyone know we're married."
"Jingchen, the baby seems to have kicked me." Zhou Luo suddenly clutched her stomach.
"Really? The little one knows we're getting married and sent us his blessings, right? Luo Luo, hurry up and wash up and go to bed. You can rest at home tomorrow," Fu Jingchen urged. "We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay." The woman nodded obediently.
In Lanshan Garden, Han Yue seemed somewhat dazed.
Today, she stood on the stage as Fu Jingchen's mother, along with Lao Deng. Zhou Luo actually called Lao Deng "Dad".
After washing up, Lao Deng came out with a wide smile on his face.
He looked at the woman who was in a daze and said, "Xiaoyue, Jingchen is a very sensible child."
Han Yue knew that Lao Deng was referring to the children changing their way of addressing each other.
Han Yue was worried that Fu Jingsheng and the others would have objections, since they always called him "uncle".
