Shen Anchen has been particularly puzzled recently.
He had just returned to the Beijing Military Region not long ago. Although he knew all the officers above the battalion level, he didn't think he was very familiar with them. Why did so many people rush to be his best men?
While eating, Wang Jingyi saw Shen Anchen was a little absent-minded. She put a piece of meat in his lunch box and asked, "Why are you so sad these past two days? Did something happen in the army?"
"Wife, let me tell you something. Can you give me some advice?"
It was rare for a man to show such an expression. Wang Jingyi thought something serious had happened, so she put down her chopsticks and said solemnly, "Go ahead."
Shen Anchen talked about how many people in the army had recently been vying to be his best man.
"Honey, tell me, I'm not that familiar with them, so why are they all vying to be my best man? And they're the type who agree to everything I ask. They even agreed to all the toasts I offered. Isn't that unusual?"
“Besides, we are all in the same military region, with similar ranks, or we will have collaborative missions together.
The key is that I am embarrassed to reject them directly. I think that although I said it tactfully, I still meant to reject them. But what if they pretend not to understand?
Hey, I've been fooling around these past two days. What should I do? If I agree to everything, you might have to prepare two or three groups of bridesmaids.
Wang Jingyi also felt that this phenomenon was abnormal. "It shouldn't be like this. Since you're not that familiar with them, is it because of the relationship between your great uncle and aunt?"
Shen Anchen shook his head. "It doesn't make sense. Several of them have family backgrounds that are no worse than the Shen family. There's no reason for them to be so prominent! There must be something going on. I'll have to investigate carefully in the next few days to make sure they're not trying to hinder our marriage."
Thinking about this, even though he was tired from training all day, Shen Anchen just felt that the food in his lunch box was no longer fragrant. He finally got to marry a wife, but his mood was ruined by these unromantic people. It was uncomfortable! Really uncomfortable!
While Shen Anchen was puzzled, two men were sitting in the innermost private room on the second floor of the Yuanyang Hotpot Restaurant in University Town. One of them was Shen Anchen's good brother-in-law Cao Jingheng, and the other was also his brother Lin Tongrui who had played with him in the same compound (they appear in chapters 147-148. If you have forgotten, you can go back and look it up. To be honest, I forgot some people while writing.)
Lin Tongrui was eating mutton slices while coating them with sesame paste, and he couldn't stop eating. As a Beijinger, he still prefers clear soup pot.
"Hey, Jingheng, you've been messing with your second uncle like this. Aren't you afraid that An Ning will find out and come after you? I've been too embarrassed to say hello to An Chen when I saw him in the army these past two days, for fear that he'll find out that I was also involved in this."
"But I think you're pretty cruel. You found so many groomsmen who could cause trouble for him. What? Are you planning to get him drunk and prevent him from entering the bridal chamber?"
Cao Jingheng smiled and filled Lin Tongrui's glass. "My An Ning said that this is a battle of wits and courage, each showing their own abilities. She doesn't care about men's wars. Besides, I'm not adding to the chaos. I'm adding fun to my second uncle's wedding. Do you understand what adding fun means?"
"Hey, who made my second uncle love me? When An Ning and I got married, he rallied all the bridesmaids to help me get married... Now, I'm just giving it back to him. Besides, isn't it easier to find internal reasons than external ones? I've already kept it."
Lin Tongrui looked at someone who was slurping his food while eating hotpot. The sages' books all said that only women and villains were difficult to raise. Today, he also realized that one should not offend Cao Jingheng, a petty-minded man, because it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, let alone Cao Jingheng, who has a strong willpower.
"Anchen, you are unlucky. Don't blame me for not helping you. I have something on your brother-in-law!" Although he felt sorry for Shen Anchen, Lin Tongrui didn't feel guilty at all when selling out his brother, and he was not soft-hearted. When he returned to the army that night, he went to beat him up again.
Little did he know that it was this action of his that allowed Shen Anchen, who had been paying attention to this matter, to catch the clue.
When he was stuck in the toilet, Lin Tongrui had only one sentence in his mind: "Cao Jingheng, damn you!"
Before Shen Anchen could ask any questions, Lin Tongrui took the initiative to attack. It was all... the smell was really bad. "Anchen, I'm telling you that this wasn't my intention. Do you believe me?"
"Really? I have my reasons too! I swear on this pit! If I tell a lie, let me fall into it!"
Chen Anchen was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Lin Tongrui who was already beginning to regret it. "Brother Tongrui, since you said so, since you helped me fight when we were little, I will believe you this time. Come on, let's go out and talk. If you really fall into it, it will be just the two of us. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to my sister-in-law."
Lin Tongrui smiled awkwardly. God knew he was really afraid of falling down one day. He might have a psychological trauma about this toilet from now on.
We walked to the empty training ground. Some were resting, some were eating. There were not many people there at this time.
Chen Anchen sat directly on the wooden stake, "Brother Tongrui, tell me, who gave you the task? Who came up with this many messy groomsmen for me? Whose wicked idea was this?"
"Hmm, hey, Anchen, if I tell you, it will be really miserable. You already know it now, so why not just let it go."
Shen Anchen is not a fool. The fact that Lin Tongrui is so wary of him means that either the relationship between the two is very good, so good that Lin Tongrui would rather offend him than tell anyone, or he has something on him. He thought about the people around him.
"Did Cao Jingheng ask you to do this?"
Lin Tongrui was delighted. This was something people had guessed themselves, and he didn't say anything anyway.
"Okay, Brother Tongrui, I get it. Don't worry, I definitely won't betray you. But I still want to remind you to be careful when you squat alone in the toilet next time."
"Hey, you're holding a grudge, aren't you? I'll go home tonight and tell your sister-in-law that if one day I really...it must be you who's causing all this trouble!"
When Shen Anchen's wedding finally decided on six groomsmen, Cao Jingheng knew that his plan had failed. Of course, he didn't expect the plan to succeed, but he had to say that his second uncle was really cunning. Who would only ask their own people for groomsmen?
Shen Anyu, Peng Wei, Peng Zhe, and three others, one is the cousin of the eldest sister-in-law Liu Manxue's mother's side, and the other two are Wang Jingyi's cousins. They are all his own people, how can he have fun? Cao Jingheng looked at them and calculated that he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Looking at the two people who were fighting openly and secretly during the toast, Shen An Ning was really upset. These two childish guys, one was her brother and the other was her husband, were not worry-free.
She squeezed the man's hand under the table and said, "Alright, the fight between you two ends here. Each of you has his wins and losses. Since he's getting married today, let's give Second Brother some face today, okay?"
