Zhu Guihua also raised his head, and the moment he saw Gu Jingming, he was stunned for a long time.
"When did your cousin's son become so handsome? I should have agreed to your marriage earlier..."
Zhu Guihua was still mumbling to himself, and Ye Qingtao couldn't bear to listen any more.
"Mom, just looking at his appearance, don't you think this guy looks familiar?"
At her daughter's reminder, Zhu Guihua stared at Gu Jingming again and again, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Isn't this the man you saved this morning? I didn't expect he's your cousin! You two are so destined to be together!"
Although the two families occasionally interacted with each other, they were distant relatives and seldom met each other.
He had only seen Zhu Guihua a few times when he was a child, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize him now.
Ye Qingtao was skeptical about what her mother said.
The food was served on the table. Today there were ten dishes and one soup, all of which were hard dishes. Ye Qingtao had been recuperating at home for a while and had been eating simple meals every day, so her mouth had long been dry. Now she was particularly satisfied looking at the food on the table.
She was just about to enjoy the meal when the bride, crying, was forced onto the stage.
The bride was wearing a bright red wedding dress and her makeup was all smudged from crying.
From a distance she looks okay, but I have no idea what she looks like.
Zhu Guihua said puzzledly while eating pork belly.
"The groom is so handsome, why is the bride crying so miserably?"
As soon as Zhu Guihua opened her mouth, the aunt sitting next to her, perhaps because she was too depressed to hold it in, couldn't help but try to make her presence felt.
"I heard that the groom was injured while performing his duties... he can't be humane from now on!"
Ye Qingtao secretly thought it was a pity that such a handsome guy turned out to be a useless person.
But she had just felt his pulse, and apart from some external injuries, he was still in good health.
As long as you take good rest, there shouldn't be any sequelae.
"what is going on?"
Zhu Guihua's eyes sparkled with curiosity when she suddenly got to know the big news. The two aunties realized that they had met a soulmate and quickly pulled her aside.
She saw them talking to each other in whispers, completely ignoring her existence.
Ye Qingtao sighed softly and ate her meal.
Because of her affairs, her mother was often the target of gossip in the compound.
Now that I have come to the provincial capital, I finally get to eat other people's melons, so naturally I eat them with gusto.
The quarrel on the stage became more and more intense, and the wedding turned into a farce.
The bride was pushed onto the stage and the wedding was forced to take place by her parents.
"Gu Jingming is so outstanding, it is your blessing to marry him!"
"Don't think about anything else. Just marry him and live a peaceful life!"
"Gu Jingming is the youngest commander in the army and the bravest officer. Your life will not be bad after you marry him!"
The bride's parents took turns to persuade her, and the bride cried heartbreakingly.
"I won't marry! I won't marry! No matter how good Gu Jingming is, he's still a waste!"
"I'm so young and beautiful, am I going to have the rest of my life ruined by him?"
"Are you my biological parents? Why are you forcing me to marry him?"
The bride had a heated argument with his parents, but Gu Jingming had a cold face and said nothing the whole time.
Even the emcee stood aside awkwardly, and the bride's father repeatedly signaled to him to go on with the wedding.
Gu Jingming's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. Is this the woman that his grandmother forced him to marry by threatening to commit suicide?
Because the situation today was too complicated, the emcee didn't dare to say a word of nonsense. He skipped all the previous words and only asked one question at the end.
"Ma Yuting, are you willing to marry Gu Jingming?"
Ma Yuting was about to say she didn't want to, but her mother covered her mouth and her father pressed her head, forcing her to nod.
"I don't...want to..."
Ma Yuting's voice was intermittent, and finally became "I do."
When it was Gu Jingming's turn, the MC asked again, "Mr. Gu Jingming, are you willing to marry Miss Ma Yuting?"
Before Gu Jingming could speak, Ma Yuting kept shaking her head with tears streaming down her face.
Her parents held her down tightly. Ma Yuting broke free from her parents' grip and shouted to the crowd.
"I'm pregnant, but the baby is not yours!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately became lively.
With such explosive news coming out at the wedding scene, who wouldn’t be curious?
Ma Yuting's parents were so scared that they fell to the ground. Ma Yuting took the opportunity to rush off the stage and ran out in the chaos.
Gu Jingming also wanted to cancel the wedding immediately, but he felt a headache when he thought of his grandmother lying on the hospital bed waiting for him to get married.
Grandma always said that she didn't have much time left, and her only wish before she died was to see him get married.
He also knew his situation, and he thought no normal girl would want to marry him.
Now that Ma Yuting has fled, she has lost face for both families on the day of the wedding. This marriage will definitely not take place.
He did have some health problems when he was on missions in his early years.
If it weren't for fulfilling his grandmother's wish, he wouldn't be here today.
Now that things have gotten to this point, there is no way to end it.
Gu Jingming rubbed his temples with a headache and prepared to cancel the wedding in public.
"Today's wedding..."
Gu Jingming's voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the hotel.
Ye Qingtao had just eaten a piece of cake and felt her mouth was a little dry.
She stood up and reached the teapot opposite her, then poured herself a cup of tea with a natural look.
Everyone in the hotel looked over, including Gu Jingming.
Ye Qingtao felt embarrassed being stared at by everyone. She looked up in confusion. She had been eating too seriously and didn't know what had happened.
When Gu Jingming saw her, his dull eyes instantly brightened.
He recognized Ye Qingtao. Wasn't that girl who was enjoying her meal the one who gave him an injection in the butt this morning?
Gu Jingming slowly walked towards her from the stage. Ye Qingtao stood there, neither standing nor sitting.
Until Gu Jingming walked up to her and extended his hand to her.
"Beautiful girl, will you marry me?"
Gu Jingming knelt down on one knee, and Ye Qingtao was so surprised that she couldn't calm down.
Before she traveled through the book, she was an unmarried young woman of advanced age. In her life, she performed surgeries and developed new medicines.
She felt that dating was a waste of time, and that love affairs were too brain-burning, and that she shouldn't waste her best years of youth on them.
Having performed so many surgeries on people, she knew how painful childbirth was, so she instinctively avoided it.
The man in front of him was tall and straight, with a handsome face with sharp edges, and he looked very attractive indeed.
If I stay at home, my parents will force me to get married. If I must choose to get married in this life, he is indeed a good marriage partner.
"As long as you are willing to marry me, I will give you all the salary after we get married, and I will do the housework and take care of the children. Is that okay with you?"
Before Ye Qingtao could respond, the crowd was already boiling.
"Promise him!"
"Promise him!"
"Marry him!"
