Chapter 928 Family
He didn't believe that anything fantastical could happen in his peaceful life.
Why do I keep having this inexplicable dream with no answer?
Psychological issues?
Lu Yuanqiu didn't think he had any psychological problems. He was happy every day, and the smile on his face never left his face. Does that look like someone with psychological problems?
...
The wedding on the second day went very smoothly. Lu Yuanqiu, as one of the groomsmen, followed the group and busied himself with preparations. Bai Qingxia, as one of the bridesmaids, did the same. It was basically a replica of the scene at Zhong Jincheng's wedding last time. Of course, there were some differences between the two weddings. Zheng Yifeng's wedding had a larger budget and a more grand scale.
Inside the banquet hall, as the solemn and heavy doors opened, Su Miaomiao walked in wearing a snow-white wedding dress. Music started playing, the emcee delivered emotional lines, and immediately, a barrage of dazzling flashes went off throughout the hall. Lu Yuanqiu and the others at the tables quickly took out their phones to take photos and videos, as excited as if each of them was the main character.
Su Miaomiao, arm in arm with her father, walked up the steps with tears in her eyes. Zheng Yifeng, at the peak of his handsomeness, appeared in everyone's photos. He walked up to the father and daughter with a smile, wearing shiny leather shoes.
Su's mother, who had come all the way from Zhucheng, watched the scene on the stage with rapt attention. She took a deep breath, took off her glasses, and wiped her eyes with a tissue.
"You know, both my senior and Teacher Su got married while pregnant. Should we do a similar thing? Let's make the procession more orderly," Lu Yuanqiu whispered.
To his surprise, Bai Qingxia didn't argue with him this time.
“How could we possibly make it in time…” Bai Qingxia replied softly, her expression unchanged, but her ears were slightly red.
It's definitely not possible to have a child so soon. Their wedding is coming up soon, in about three or four months. During this time, it's not certain that they'll win the lottery. Besides, the two of them haven't even officially discussed whether or not to have a child so early.
Their work is quite busy, but if they really decide to have a child, they will definitely have to put their work aside for the time being. Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia are in complete agreement on this point: family comes first, work comes second, no matter how important work is.
"Do you want to?" Lu Yuanqiu asked quickly, leaning close to her ear. After asking, he quickly sat back down, acting as if nothing had happened, as if asking the question made him feel a little embarrassed.
Bai Qingxia's earlobes turned red.
"Anything is fine..." She held up her phone and spoke quickly, but her response was completely drowned out by the emcee's suddenly amplified voice.
"Next, let's invite the groom's father to the stage to give a speech!"
Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and looked over there, and saw the master of ceremonies waving to Zheng Ye.
Zheng Ye looked somewhat bewildered, clearly this part of the ceremony was unexpected for him. This wedding was entirely handled by Zheng Yifeng, and he, as the father, did not get involved, nor did he intend to. It wasn't that he wanted to stay out of it, but mainly because he felt that Zheng Yifeng would mind, given that the relationship between father and son had been quite cold over the past two years.
The fact that he was given a speaking opportunity suggests that Zheng Yifeng knew about it beforehand.
After Zheng Ye realized what was happening, he took the microphone and went on stage. Ye Hui watched from behind and clapped along with everyone else. In fact, she had become indifferent to many things in the past two years. Thinking that she would soon be a grandmother, it would be a waste of her life to still care about those grudges and grievances.
She should spend her life on meaningful things; she still has many medical appointments to make.
Son, daughter-in-law, and grandson who's about to be born...
For the past two years, Zheng Yifeng has stood firmly by her side... This is what touches Ye Hui the most. But seeing Zheng Ye all alone in this family, and sometimes only his youngest son would say a word or two to him, Ye Hui always felt that something was missing in her heart.
She stopped loving Zheng Ye a long time ago.
But she still considered Zheng Ye as part of the family, and the current state of the family should not be so lifeless.
Standing on the stage, Zheng Ye, with his full head of white hair, held the microphone in both hands. He looked at the guests below the stage, feeling somewhat nervous and reserved. He was clearly not afraid of this kind of scene, but he knew that his wife, son, and daughter-in-law were all watching him.
"I..." Zheng Ye had only uttered one word when he suddenly stopped speaking.
Bai Songzhe looked up at the scene, gently put down the phone that was recording, pursed his lips slightly, and wanted to say a word of encouragement to his old friend at this moment.
Zheng Ye was a very loyal person to him, but Bai Songzhe also knew that Zheng Ye was over fifty years old, but he still acted like a young man in some things, and was still confused and unable to distinguish the important points.
No matter what, family is the most important thing, and this is something Zheng Ye has never been able to distinguish.
The next moment, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. Zheng Ye suddenly took the microphone and walked off the stage. He went to the table where he had just been sitting and picked up a bottle of liquor in front of Ye Hui, then poured it into his mouth.
The emcee was stunned. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he immediately smiled and said something to save the day: "It seems that our groom's father needs a drink to get into the mood!"
"What are you doing!" Ye Hui lowered her voice and quickly stood up to snatch the wine bottle from his hand.
Zheng Ye stood there with his head down, and paused for a moment.
The emcee continued, "Let's... wait a moment and give Mr. Zheng some time. It's clear he has a lot to say to himself..."
"Okay! I'm all done..." Zheng Ye quickly raised his hand and brought the microphone to his mouth to interrupt.
He turned around and walked towards the stage, swaying unsteadily. Zheng Yifeng raised his hand to steady him, but Zheng Ye smiled and shook his head, indicating that he could stand firmly.
Zheng Yifeng looked at the dejected middle-aged man in front of him, stared intently, and said, "Dad, let's live a good life together from now on..."
Zheng Ye looked up at him with his drunken eyes, breathing heavily. In fact, he also had a lot to say.
Zheng Yifeng extended his right hand to Su Miaomiao. Su Miaomiao, dressed in a wedding gown, walked over with a smile. Zheng Yifeng raised his hand and touched Su Miaomiao's lower abdomen, saying to Zheng Ye with a sense of relief, "Let everything be in the past. Your grandson will be born soon. In a few years, he will be bouncing and skipping in front of you, smiling and calling you grandpa, mom, and grandma..."
After saying this, Zheng Yifeng's eyes welled up with tears.
He had seen his father's actions, but he wasn't surprised, because no matter what happened, he was prepared to tell the man opposite him those words in person.
Zheng Ye held his arm across his face and began to cry.
He had prepared many things to say while drinking, but now he felt like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat and couldn't say anything.
His son has become the person he never dared to hope for, knowing how to love and be loved correctly. This is the best redemption his son has brought him after losing his childhood. However, Zheng Ye's path to redemption is uncertain. The fact that all the white hair he has lost in two years seems to prove this point. His self-proclaimed redemption is actually selfish and absurd.
Li Yuntan may be the person he loves, but Li Yuntan is no longer his family.
"Give me a hug." Su Miaomiao pushed Zheng Yifeng from behind.
Zheng Yifeng didn't move.
Su Miaomiao pushed her again.
As soon as Zheng Yifeng opened his arms, Zheng Ye stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged his son, bursting into tears.
The banquet hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled as he watched this scene, then turned to look to the side: "What did you just say?"
My train of thought was a bit scattered today, so the second chapter is a little late. I want to reiterate that there are no angst-filled parts later on, so don't worry.
