664: You will regret it one day!
The next day, Zhuang Huaijian happily began to prepare for the wedding.
Because the matter happened in a hurry and there was no preparation, Zhuang Huaijian spent the whole day on the phone to arrange for chicken, duck, fish, meat, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea to entertain the guests. He also sought advice from people who had held weddings at home.
Although Zhuang Huaijian had planned a wedding for his second son before, it was actually just preparation and had not yet reached the stage of inviting guests.
This time it was completely the opposite. Nothing was prepared in advance and we were just going to entertain the guests directly, so previous experience was of no use at all and we had to learn everything from scratch.
After Zhuang Huaijian's efforts, the news spread quickly. Before the Zhou family formally invited guests, the entire compound knew that the Zhou family was going to have a wedding.
At first, everyone was skeptical and thought it was a rumor.
Many people came to inquire about the matter. Zhuang Huaijian told them with a smile that his son was indeed getting married. He also told them the specific date and asked them to come over for a drink.
Only then did everyone dare to confirm that this was not a rumor.
Zhou Ziheng is really getting married!
The news soon reached the ears of the You family.
When You Changsheng heard the news, he also found it unbelievable.
Then a surge of anger rose to the top of his head, and the hand with age spots suddenly grabbed the teacup full of hot tea beside him and threw it hard against the wall.
“Bang!”
The teacup was broken into pieces, and tea leaves and tea were all over the wall.
He doesn't believe it!
He didn't believe that Zhou Jingru could really do such a heartless thing!
Not only did he not hand over the person who beat his daughter, but now he actually wants to get married?
That old guy surnamed Zhou is deliberately making things difficult for him!
You Changsheng came to Zhou Jingru's office angrily. As soon as he entered, his bloodshot eyes glared at Zhou Jingru fiercely, which scared everyone else in the office.
Zhou Jingru looked at You Changsheng leisurely:
"What's wrong, Lao You? What made you so angry?"
You Changsheng took a few deep breaths before speaking in a trembling voice:
"I heard that Hengzi is getting married. You'd better tell me it's just a rumor!"
"——It's not a rumor, our family is really going to have a wedding, come over for a drink if you have time——"
Before the word "wine" came out, You Changsheng shouted angrily:
"Zhou Jingru, don't go too far!"
Zhou Jingru suppressed his anger and explained in a good-tempered manner:
"Old You, calm down. It's not worth getting angry over such a small matter. This is the couple's own decision. The meeting is secondary for them to come back this time. The main purpose is to get married. I have also persuaded them at home. I told them not to rush into marriage. Let's focus on their careers for a few years first. It's not too late to get married when they are really successful. But don't you know what kind of temper my son has? He is a stubborn guy, even more stubborn than me. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it. I can't do anything about it."
You Changsheng pointed at Zhou Jingru and said:
"Mr. Zhou, we've known each other our whole lives. I know what you're up to the minute you stick your butt out. And you're still playing dumb with me. Do you dare to admit that this was your bad idea?"
Zhou Jingru was still pretending to be confused:
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"you--"
You Changsheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but facing Zhou Jingru's scoundrel-like refusal to admit his mistake, You Changsheng had no way out.
After a while, he said bitterly:
"Zhou Jingru, we have been friends for a lifetime. Ask yourself honestly, how have I wronged you over the years?
When we were crossing the grassland, there was nothing to eat in the team. I took off my cowhide belt and boiled it in water for two hours. After it was cooked, I gave you half of it. We relied on this cowhide belt to survive for two days and not fall behind. Have you forgotten all this?
We have shared joys and sorrows and supported each other over the years to get to where we are today. Didn't you say that half of your military medals belong to me and half of mine belong to you? We have been friends for a lifetime, but now you are turning against me for a girl who has only been in your house for a few days.
Lao Zhou, you are chilling my heart! "
When You Changsheng talked about this, his veins were exposed, his eyes were bulging, and he looked like a madman.
Zhou Jingru felt a little emotional when he heard him talk about the past:
"Old You, at this age, we're already up to our necks in the dirt. What's there to be upset about? Why bother getting involved in the children's affairs?"
"Okay, if you don't get involved, just hand the person over!"
"If I hand him over, won't my son's wedding go ahead? As a father, it's not right for me to ruin my son's wedding, right?"
"This marriage shouldn't have happened. Hengzi is confused, are you confused too? There are women from all kinds of families in the entire capital, yet you chose to bring back an unreasonable village girl from the countryside!"
"Whether she's a village girl or a village woman, I don't care. That's my son's business. If he wants to, I can't stop him even if he marries a widow."
"Are you determined to go against me?"
"Old You, you have to understand that you are against me, not me against you. You got it wrong."
"Okay, okay, Zhou Jingru, if you have the guts, you'll regret it one day!"
You Changsheng uttered some harsh words, turned around and left.
Seeing You Changsheng leave, Zhou Jingru rolled his eyes without any reaction.
But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. This old You was obviously not like this when he was young. He was very reasonable. Why did he become so irritable as he got older and couldn't tell right from wrong?
To be honest, Zhou Jingru didn't want to fall out with You Changsheng at all. As they had been together through half a lifetime's ups and downs, Zhou Jingru trusted You Changsheng more than he trusted his own wife.
He said more to You Changsheng than to his own wife.
The two of them are the worms in each other's stomachs.
Who could have thought that two people who were once so close would end up like this?
Zhou Jingru didn't want to make a fuss - but he couldn't back down in this matter.
So Zhou Jingru had no idea how serious this matter would become.
Not long after You Changsheng left, Zhou Jingru called home:
"Hey, Aunt Zhang, please close the door at home. If there is any movement at home, call me immediately."
Aunt Zhang was a little confused about what Zhou Jingru meant on the phone, but Zhou Jingru didn't give any explanation.
-----
On the other side, You Changsheng left Zhou Jingru's office in anger.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Jingru had betrayed him.
How could their decades-long friendship end just because of a new woman?
After hearing that his daughter was beaten, You Changsheng went to Zhou Jingru to ask for an explanation. He fully expected that Zhou Jingru would teach the woman from the Great Northern Wilderness a lesson as he did before, but Zhou Jingru's attitude surprised him.
Not only did Zhou Jingru not intend to hand the person over, but he defended him in every word.
What made You Changsheng even more jaw-dropping was that the next day, news came out that Zhou Ziheng was going to marry the woman from the Great Northern Wilderness.
