Ning Hao would never forget his promise. "Don't worry, you'll see what happens in the future. Marrying Qiao'er is the beginning of our happiness. We will be happy forever, just like you and my mother."
Whether or not, Gu Zhengfeng couldn't say for sure for now. Anyway, he would be watching from the sidelines, and if this kid betrayed his daughter, he would make sure he was punished severely.
However, he won't say that now, since today is a joyous occasion.
That evening, Ning Hao and his group had everything arranged, and Song Shutian and his group arrived as promised. Liu Zhanyu, Cao Mingyuan, and Chen Fang, led by Song Zhi, drove over.
Upon entering, the group was immediately struck by Jiang Qiao's beauty, and then their blessings flowed effortlessly from their lips.
Especially Liu Zhanyu, that guy even tried to snatch Gu Zhengfeng's daughter right in front of him.
"Son-in-law, you must treat our Qiao'er well from now on. Don't think that your mission is over just because you've married her. This is only the beginning of a long journey."
Let me tell you, you better watch out, kid. My daughter isn't without protection, and I, as her father, am not someone to be trifled with.
Ning Hao really couldn't say anything else to this cheap father-in-law in front of him. He had heard Jiang Qiao mention the connection between Liu Zhanyu and Jiang Qiao. Liu Zhanyu was like a half-master, which meant he was like a father for life.
"Dad, don't worry, we're on good terms and we definitely won't give you that chance. Besides, with Jiang Qiao around, you won't have a chance to make a move, right?"
If she slapped me like that, I'd be in serious trouble! You should hurry up and take a seat; Qiao'er and I still need to toast you later.”
Song Shutian didn't stand on ceremony with them at all. After they finished giving their instructions, he went straight over to greet the old man and the others, and then took his seat.
"Hurry up, stop dawdling, come and eat right away. A couple of threats will do. We all know what Ning Hao is like."
"Haozi, I'm here to put in a good word for you, so be nice to my sister later."
Song Zhi came over and hugged Gu Zhengfeng. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they took this opportunity to have a good get-together.
After exchanging greetings with the old man and the others, everyone took their seats.
The old men didn't eat at the same table as Song Shutian and his group. They were all young people. The old men ate with Wen Jingwan and her group, while Jiang Qiao and the others went over to keep these people company and have a good chat. Since they had come all this way, they would definitely talk about work, so it was best for them not to get involved.
"Don't be shy, we old folks won't join in with you young people's fun. We'll eat our own food. If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen. We've prepared plenty, just in case you don't have enough to eat. Girl, take good care of us."
Ma Liu, being more economical, insisted on bringing over the medicinal wine that Jiang Qiao had prepared.
"Don't drink too much, this is just to relieve fatigue and maintain your health. It's effective, especially for men, you know what I mean—"
Chen Fang and the others couldn't help but laugh. "Uncle Liu, you really know us. Why don't you come home with us sometime? With you guys here, we'll definitely have enough medicinal wine."
Ma Liu smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Even if we don't go over there, you can have all the wine. You guys chat, we're right next door."
After everyone took their seats, Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao poured everyone a full glass of wine. After each glass, Song Shutian, while smoking, asked Ning Hao how the preparations were going.
Jiang Qiao looked at him in surprise. "Brother Song, you brought a tail?"
Song Shutian shook his head. "I can't say for sure, it's just my intuition."
Liu Zhanyu explained from the side, "There was a truck following us on the road. Hopefully, it's not what we guessed. So, after we finish eating, we have to hurry up and leave."
While eating, Song Zhi said, "Don't worry, as long as they dare to come here, they won't be able to leave. Haozi and the others have made all the arrangements. Unless they've lost their minds, let's eat in peace. Haozi is getting married to our Qiao'er. Let's not let those things ruin our mood."
Besides, that truck didn't head forward, and it wasn't necessarily targeting us.
Cao Mingyuan chimed in, "Let's eat first. It's not so easy for them to attack us. Who knows when we'll be back? We can't just send a truck to check with them. They'll be busy all night."
As Jiang Qiao used serving chopsticks to put food on everyone's plates, she asked, "What's their purpose? Do they want to wipe us all out?"
Then, she couldn't help but laugh again. "That's right. Look at all of you here. You're all elites, specifically there to deal with them. We need to think about this carefully."
But don't worry, we can't let this opportunity slip by. They're not that stupid. Let's wait and see; they might have a backup plan.
"Don't be shy, eat more. Ning Hao and I will be coming with you later; we'll be hosting friends from the courtyard and the city tomorrow."
While eating, Song Shutian chatted with Jiang Qiao and the others, "We didn't just come here to join in the fun. Jiang Qiao, once you're done with your business here, you'll have to get busy too."
Song Zhi took a sip of wine and clicked his tongue twice. "You guys are so heartless. They just got married today, and you're already thinking about arranging a job for our Qiao'er. Sigh, girl, why don't you come work for us? At least you can rest and we can discuss it."
Song Shutian put his arm around Song Zhi's shoulder and said, "Director Song, you can't do this. You're trying to poach our employees. We're family, we can't be two Songs."
Song Zhi laughed heartily, "Yes, it really is true that we've been together for five hundred years. I'm telling you, is there anything going on in this matter? Don't let Qiao'er run around recklessly. Jiang Qiao is married now, and there's a lot of stuff waiting for her at home."
In fact, Jiang Qiao also wanted to know if there was any progress on Liu Zhanyu's side. Everyone present was an outsider, except for Gu Zhengfeng, they had all been involved in this matter before, so they didn't hide anything from everyone.
Gu Zhengfeng encouraged everyone to eat and chat. With so much delicious food in front of them, no one could resist. Regardless of what those enemy agents were up to, filling their stomachs was the priority.
Moreover, Jiang Qiao and his group prepared a truly excellent banquet. With Ma Liu personally overseeing the preparations, it was easy to tell at a glance whether the food was delicious or not.
With food in his stomach, Liu Zhanyu spoke up, "After Lao Yang took over the job of that director, Chen Jianwu couldn't sit still anymore and would go to various places to inspect the work every few days."
I reckon this guy couldn't hold back any longer. We're keeping a close watch on him; he has no one left to pass messages to.
Song Zhi pressed further, "So, what was discovered later?"
Liu Zhanyu smiled and looked at Jiang Qiao, "Girl, what's your opinion?"
