"I was the one who brought you two together. Logically, I was the source. Why didn't the vice-class monitor blame me? It's because I cherish our friendship and I really wanted to help her. Even though it didn't work out, I didn't take any money."
"Afterwards, let alone paying back the money, even if you apologize to the deputy monitor, given his generosity, he wouldn't accuse you of being a mean person today."
"That's not difficult at all. How could someone else get it done? Why can't I get it done by asking you? Because you're greedy, you disregard friendship and try to cheat the deputy squad leader's family out of their money. You're selfish and you've harmed others, yet you don't even realize you're wrong. You're fucking disgusting! Get out of here!"
Song Wenyin got so excited that she actually walked forward and pushed Tian Xiangyu. Huang Wanzhen was afraid that she would get hurt, so she quickly followed. The other classmates saw this and stepped forward to persuade her, "Come on, don't get angry. Today is Lanshan's big day."
"Just let her go. I'll go get someone to kick her out."
"Tian Xiangyu, please leave quickly. No one welcomes you here."
The commotion in the lounge soon attracted a crowd of onlookers, and security personnel hurried forward to inquire.
"She didn't have an invitation, she's not our classmate, kick her out."
"Yes, she is a fake. There are all kinds of people in this world."
Tian Xiangyu had a lot of grievances. The security personnel quickly controlled her, but seeing that she was dressed luxuriously, they were afraid of offending the VIP, so they sent someone to the bridal chamber to ask He Lanshan herself before they dared to kick her out.
Not long after things calmed down, a melodious sound of drums was heard outside. Someone came to the lounge to look for the bridesmaids. Huang Wanzhen and Song Wenyin knew that the ceremony was about to begin, and hurriedly followed them out.
The hall has been newly decorated. A platform has been built at the northernmost end, and a bright red carpet is laid from the platform to the door.
He Lanshan was wearing a taffeta wedding dress, and the snow-white dress made her look even more petite. Because of the war, He's father had not returned. He Lanshan's eldest brother, wearing a neat suit, stood beside her.
Huang Wanzhen and Song Wenyin stood at the back, each holding one end of the wedding dress, while two little girls in dresses stood in the front, holding flower baskets.
As the music started, Qi Xunyuan, followed by two best men, walked over from the door next to him. He Lanshan's elder brother handed He Lanshan's hand to Qi Xunyuan.
The little girl began to scatter the flower petals in the basket as she walked forward. Huang Wanzhen, Song Wenyin and two other best men flanked the newlyweds on both sides, walked onto the stage, helped He Lanshan adjust the hem of her skirt, and then stepped aside.
After the lengthy ceremony, it was time for a photo session. Everyone was divided into different groups: first, a group photo of the newlyweds' important friends, then a photo of the newlyweds and their four best men, and finally a group photo of the newlyweds themselves. After all that busy work, the newlyweds returned to their room.
The next step is to create opportunities for young men and women to get to know each other.
Qi Xunyuan's two best men were his cousin Qi Xunkun and his cousin Wu Zhangrong.
"I heard that the two young ladies are classmates of my sister-in-law. I wonder if they have any plans to take the college entrance examination next year." Qi Xunkun squinted his eyes and kept looking at Huang Wanzhen and Song Wenyin's faces.
Huang Wanzhen was not stupid. She immediately understood why Qi Xunkun asked that.
Generally, engaged women will not get married too late, and married women rarely have the opportunity to continue their studies in school.
Huang Wanzhen guessed correctly. Qi Xunkun was very satisfied with the appearance of the two women and wanted to get closer to the beauties, but he was afraid that the beauty was already taken and he would get into trouble afterwards.
Huang Wanzhen smiled lightly, "That's not something I can decide."
Song Wenyin and Huang Wanzhen looked at each other and took a sip of coffee. "I can't say for sure."
Huang Wanzhen directly threw the topic to Qi Xunkun, "Master Qi, are you studying or working?"
Qi Xunkun raised his chin, feeling proud that his family had paid for him to go to university. He paid someone to do his homework and exams, and he only needed to wait two more years to get his university diploma. "I'm in college now, and I'll graduate in two years. It doesn't really matter whether I go or not. My family has connections, so I can get a government job and slowly work my way up. Now that I've passed the exam, my family thinks it would be a shame if I didn't go."
Song Wenyin rolled her eyes without giving Huang Wanzhen any face. Huang Wanzhen knew that she didn't want to deal with this idiot anymore.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, Wu Zhangrong spoke up, "Fourth cousin, my second uncle told you to stop talking about government-related things outside. There are so many people with connections in the government, be careful about what you say."
Seeing that the two were talking, Huang Wanzhen was not in a hurry to leave and silently drank a sip of orange soda.
"What are you worried about with me here? I am more knowledgeable than you. Listening to what I say is better than you studying hard for several years!" Qi Xunkun got angry when he thought of his cousin who was ruining his career in front of a beautiful woman.
Wu Zhangrong said sullenly, "I'm doing this for your own good. Beijing is a city full of powerful people, and there are also many people with bad tempers. We should be careful with our words."
Qi Xunkun said confidently, "Do you think I'm stupid? This is our Qi family's wedding, and the people who come are all relatives and friends. I don't treat my two sisters as outsiders, so I told them this. If someone else wants me to share my experience, it depends on whether I give them face or not!"
Song Wenyin couldn't stand listening to these nonsense anymore, and her face showed obvious impatience.
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Zhangrong hurriedly explained, "My grandmother loves to listen to opera. Today is my third cousin's wedding day, so my uncle specially invited an opera troupe to perform a few pieces to liven up the occasion."
Seeing many people walking out, Huang Wanzhen and Song Wenyin naturally stood up and followed them out.
Qi Xunkun smiled and stood up, following, "It's rare to see a modern woman like you who likes to listen to opera. Let's go and take a look together."
Huang Wanzhen said politely, "My mother likes Peking Opera. I went to see a few performances and I thought it was pretty good."
Wu Zhangrong paused and said quickly, "It's not Peking Opera, it's Kunqu Opera. I heard that in recent years, the female roles in Kunqu Opera are no longer played by men, and it's all women who sing on stage."
Qi Xunkun's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then we have to hurry, otherwise we won't be able to get a good spot to enjoy it."
Several people walked quickly towards the stage set up in the yard. The waiters of the Qi family had reserved a few of the best seats, and when they saw them coming, they went to greet them.
Huang Wanzhen and Song Wenyin both declined with a smile, pointing to the seats at the edge and saying, "Our classmates are all over there, so we won't bother you any more."
When I walked over to Lin Qinghui, Su Jingyi, Jin Xianshuang and other classmates, they were whispering about whether or not to attend Tian Xiangyu's wedding in a few days.
Song Wenyin said bluntly, "Don't go. We've humiliated her so much today and have already offended her badly. If we go to her place, with her character and personality, it would be strange if she doesn't retaliate against us. I won't be so kind as to spend money on her. I won't feel comfortable doing that."
