Huo Qing's question was filled with boundless anger. Huo Jun's eyes darted away involuntarily, and he stammered, "Uncle, Cui Cui and Wantang are cousins after all. As her brother-in-law, I am also considered a member of her family. I really couldn't stand by and watch, so I thought I would stand up and say something fair."
"To be fair, to be fair..." Huo Qing trembled with anger. He could only coax his brainless wife with these words, did she really think everyone present was an idiot?
Others retired, Huo Jun was demoted, and he shamelessly begged his former subordinates to promote his good-for-nothing nephew, Huo Jun, but he never expected...
Huo Jun used his connections to do this.
Huo Qing suddenly couldn't catch his breath and fell backward.
Gasps and exclamations erupted from the crowd.
"Commander Huo."
Chen Ze lowered his eyelids, sighed softly, and calmly made the arrangements.
"Secretary Zhou, arrange for someone to take Old Master Huo to the hospital."
"The punishment for you guys, and Huo Jun as well, remains the same: suspension from duty pending investigation."
Huo Jun and his companions looked horrified: "Old leader—"
Chen Ze gave them a cold 'shut up' look, and they all pursed their lips.
After the minor incident, the wedding proceeded as planned.
With Chen Ze present, no one cared about Lu Huai'an's absence. Instead, their thoughtful gazes fell on Su Wantang, and they all wondered why Chen Ze valued her so much.
After thinking it over and over, unable to figure it out, he attributed it to Lu Huai'an.
When it came time to take the oath, Su Wantang thought Xia Bao would still do it for her, but unexpectedly, Secretary Zhou walked over with a smile and stuffed a tape recorder into Xia Bao's arms.
A familiar male voice came from inside, and Su Wantang's nose felt a little sore.
"I'm sorry, the mission is urgent, so I'll have to leave you alone to deal with the guests..."
"I, Lu Huai'an, hereby swear that I will hold your hand and grow old with you."
Wen Wanqing nudged Lu Yuanyang beside her, a genuine smile on her face: "Your son is quite capable."
"Barely acceptable, not as good as his father."
Wen Wanqing: "..."
Li Jia, Li Sisi, and the others were just as happy for Su Wantang as the two of them. Even Su Zhichen, who was initially unhappy about the news, gradually calmed down with Chen Ze's support and his regretful concern despite his absence.
But there were also a few people whose faces were as long as a donkey's and whose lips were so pouty they could hang a soy sauce bottle.
It was Uncle Lu's family.
Lu Yuanzhou was also in the military, so he naturally recognized Chen Ze. Not to mention the military, anyone who paid attention to national affairs would know Chen Ze.
When his two sons got married, the old man didn't even think about inviting anyone over. But when Lu Huai'an went out on a mission, the old man still eagerly invited him over to support him.
This isn't just supporting someone; it's blatant favoritism.
Lu Huainan's expression was also not good. He hadn't thought much of it before, but ever since he got married and learned about the family property, his first thought when he saw such a scene was that he felt sorry for the money.
Grandpa and his third uncle's family live together, and he has always doted on Huai'an since he was a child. Today, he will definitely contribute money to the wedding, and there is a share of that money for him.
Wang Xiu was also extremely envious. When she married into the family, the old man never even showed his face. Let alone a restaurant, he could only simply book two tables at a state-run restaurant. Compared to that, it was like comparing heaven and earth.
Lu Huaibei, being younger, ate each piece of meat with gusto, his mouth greasy and sticky.
Wang Xiu caught a glimpse of this scene, her eyes darting around. She then kicked Lu Huainan under the table. Lu Huainan winced in pain, letting out a yelp: "Wife, why did you kick me?"
"...I need to use the restroom, but I don't know where it is. Can you take me there?"
"Isn't it right here—"
"Enough with the nonsense? Take me there." Wang Xiu stood up and pinched Lu Huainan's arm.
At this moment, Lu Huainan finally realized that his wife wanted to talk to him, so he quickly pulled out a chair, greeted Lu Yuanzhou, and followed her.
Looking at his pathetic state, Lu Yuanzhou waved his hand impatiently.
The corner of the second-floor staircase.
“Lu Huainan, look at how biased your grandfather is! They’re all his granddaughters-in-law, but my wedding is so shabby? I don’t care, you have to give me a proper wedding.”
Lu Huainan was seething with anger, but he wasn't so confused as to not be able to distinguish between the two kings. He roared at the top of his lungs, "Re-issue what? Do you think that's even possible? Second cousin's grandfather was my grandfather's savior. And what about you? Don't you have any self-awareness? Besides, what kind of person am I? Can I compare to my second cousin who is already a deputy regimental commander?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiu felt like she was on a rollercoaster. The boiling water in the kettle cooled down again. What could she do? This man, he even cursed himself!
Although she didn't intend to do that, she was just throwing out an idea, but why did she feel so unhappy?
Wang Xiu was a sensible person. She suppressed her displeasure and said, "If we don't want to have the wedding, then we don't have to. The old man paid for the wedding, so we should have a share of the money, right? It's not easy for the two of us to discuss this. You go and talk to your third brother and ask him to talk to Dad and get our share of the money."
Lu Huainan: "When we get back, I'll talk to Huaibei about it."
Wang Xiu was satisfied: "Hurry back, don't let Huaibei eat all the meat."
The two hurried upstairs.
Standing on the last step of the first floor, Fu Jing suddenly turned around and went downstairs. A few minutes later, he went upstairs again and pushed open the door of a closed private room on the second floor.
"You've paid the bill, you can go now."
"What's wrong with you? Before, it took you so long to go to the bathroom, and now it's taking you half a day to pay the bill?" Gu Shiya pulled Fu Jing to her side and whispered.
She had barely finished speaking when a cold snort came from behind her.
Old Gu: "You're so busy, you can't even sit still."
Fu Jing lifted his eyelids slightly: "Grandpa, as a renowned surgeon, I think you would understand the difficulties of our profession."
