Before Zhou Kai could speak, his teammates rushed to help him take off his pants. "We told you there are only two choices: one is to wear pants, and the other is not to wear pants. Since you chose the second, we'll help you."
"No, no," Zhou Kai quickly tugged at his green pants, "I'll wear them, I'll wear them. Thank you all for this wedding gift. I'll remember it and will definitely reciprocate."
The teammates stopped and didn't care about Zhou Kai's harsh words. At worst, they could ask the captain to assign a task to Zhou Kai. The one who started this matter was the captain.
Zhou Xiang handed Zhou Kai a big red envelope, which was a dowry for his cousin. For girls, it was a box dowry, and for boys, it was a dowry for their waists.
Zhou Kai took the red envelope with a smile, "Thank you, cousin."
"You're welcome." Zhou Xiang turned around and left the bridal chamber. The time to pick up the bride had not arrived yet, and this group of people would continue to make trouble for a while.
The living room of about 20 square meters was crowded with people. Xia Cuilan was communicating with the guests with a smile on her face. She was carrying a large leather bag on her shoulder, which was stuffed bulging with money. From time to time, she also accepted red envelopes from the guests.
Seeing that Zhou had come up with something, he immediately squeezed over and said, "Think about it."
"Aunt San," Zhou Xiang called out politely, his eyes looking at Fang Xiuli and the middle-aged men and women around her.
Xia Cuilan followed her line of sight and saw the Fang family. "That's Xiuli's parents, my cousin and his wife."
"Yeah." Zhou Xiang responded lightly and turned his eyes away. It seemed that no matter whether the Fang family had explained to Xia Cuilan that time, the two families had not broken off their relationship.
Fang Xiuli came over and said, "Cousin."
Zhou Xiang frowned, "Where did the term 'cousin' come from?"
Zhou Xiang's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the living room to hear it, and everyone's faces had ambiguous expressions.
Fang Xiuli's face flushed with embarrassment. She thought Zhou was too rude and uneducated. "I'm Cousin Kai's cousin. Is there anything wrong with calling you Cousin Kai?"
"Haha," Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Your cousin Kai can call me cousin because we share the same last name, Zhou. If I remember correctly, this cousin Kai's cousin's last name is Fang, right? How did we become cousins?"
Huai County is neither big nor small. Any few people you pick up might be my relatives. I have a hunch that if I accept your title today, there will be no one on the street who is not my relative."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Everyone in the living room laughed. Whose daughter is this? If you want to claim kinship with Miss Zhou, you should address her correctly! Tang characters are for immediate relatives, right?
"You?" Fang Xiuli stamped her foot. "Do you think everyone wants to be associated with you?"
The laughter in the living room suddenly stopped.
"beautiful!"
"beautiful!"
Cousin Fang and his wife shouted at their daughter in unison.
Fang Xiuli glanced at the silent living room as if she didn't know anything, with a smug smile on her face. She was just a has-been celebrity. Did you still think her fame was at its peak five years ago?
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I never care about anyone trying to talk to me. Take you for example. I'm standing here perfectly still, and you're here for what? Are you trying to show off your politeness? Look at all the people in the living room, and you're the only one here. Are you trying to make some connections? Or is it that no one else wants to talk to me, and you're the only one who's pitied me enough to come and talk to me?"
Fang Xiuli's face immediately darkened, and her eyes turned red. "Zhou Xiang, if you don't care about it, then don't care about it. Why do you say that to me? Don't you think you are bullying the weak?"
"I don't think so," Zhou Xiang shook his head. "Age is not my protection. I'm fine here now. It's you who came up to provoke me. Besides, if you want to ridicule me for being ten years older than you, just say it directly. I don't like beating around the bush. No matter how young you are, you must be 18, right?
Today is your cousin Kai's wedding day. You're so wet! You'd better hold it back. Don't bring bad luck to the newlyweds. Who would dare to invite you to a wedding in the future?"
Xia Cuilan had no intention of paying attention to the bickering between the two. She came here to accept Zhou Xiang's gift money, but Zhou Xiang didn't respond at all. Her cousin came to trouble Zhou Xiang, and she pretended not to know, and also to vent her anger.
But when she heard Zhou Xiang's words, she quickly looked at her niece. Isn't it true? The tears were about to fall. Just then, her cousin and his wife came over. Xia Cuilan quickly turned her niece around and pushed her towards her, "Take her out quickly."
The Fang couple also felt wronged. It was clearly Cousin Xia who was looking for a wife for her son and found their Fang family.
Last time, he even said that he would use his daughter to give Zhou Xiang's servant a warning, so that the woman would feel ashamed and leave.
When something happened, they turned the blame around and made the Fang couple so angry that they wanted to cut off all contact with Cousin Xia. But Cousin Xia held her head high and said that they had Zhou Xiang to protect, so they would not have any contact with her.
Taking many factors into consideration, they could only accept it. Who knew that Zhou Xiang would be so arrogant and embarrass his own daughter in public?
The couple supported their daughter and said coldly, "Cousin Xia really has someone behind her. She speaks and acts differently, just like your backer. It's true that people are divided into groups."
Zhou Xiang glanced at the slightly embarrassed and annoyed expression on Xia Cuilan's face, and said to the Fang couple, whose eyes were flashing with anger, "Comrade Xia Cuilan has a backer? You really can't judge a person by his appearance!
Twenty years ago, our family severed ties with Zhou Ming's family. Ten years ago, when Zhou Kai was young, he went to the town and saw the skills of the security guards. He insisted on staying to train with them. We took into consideration Zhou Kai's young age and strong ambition, so we kept him and trained him for three years without Zhou Ming spending a penny.
If Zhou Kai hadn't fallen in love with and married one of my subordinates, I thought I'd never have anything to do with Zhou Ming's family again. It turns out Comrade Xia Cuilan is so secretive. It seems we need to stay away from you from now on, lest your backers hold a grudge against us."
Humph! Zhou Xiang snorted in his heart. He had come to save face for Xia Cuilan. If her so-called backer was him, it meant that Xia Cuilan had used him as an excuse to show off her power. If it was Zhou Kai, then Xia Cuilan was a master at tricking people.
“Think about it!”
Xia Cuilan was both embarrassed and annoyed. How could Zhou Xiang feel good about losing face like this? She really didn't understand Zhou Xiang. To avoid trouble, Zhou Xiang didn't care about this kind of hypocritical face! If one was soft-hearted and gave face to others, who would cover the trouble they caused?
Zhou Ming's niece's words of distancing herself from the matter and not giving him face made him want to slap his niece's nonchalant face, but today was his son's big day, and if he didn't want to be laughed to death by the neighbors, he had to endure it.
The living room was silent for a moment, and then a buzzing sound arose, and everyone lowered their heads and talked in low voices.
The Fang couple's eyes were full of surprise. Zhou Xiang didn't recognize Zhou Ming's family?
Fang Xiuli blinked back her tears. It turned out that Zhou Xiang was not targeting her specifically.
Zhou Xiang: "..." Don't get me wrong, I'm targeting you. Who told you to go and cause trouble for Guo Jia? Don't you know that I'm Guo Jia's boss and matchmaker?
When the atmosphere was awkward, firecrackers were heard downstairs and the wedding procession arrived.
