Chapter 116 The Eve of the Wedding Banquet
On the eve of the wedding banquet, Lin Guantang received an invitation.
There were two copies, one for him and the other with Huo Shizhen's name on it.
It is reasonable to give Huo Shizhen a copy in name for a wealthy family marriage, but why should it be sent directly to him?
Lin Guantang flipped the two invitations over and over in his hands, feeling so funny that he didn't know what to say.
It seemed that there was no need to publicly announce his relationship with Huo Shizhen, as it had already been tacitly acknowledged that they were together.
The sender thinks so, and the recipient is also used to it.
Huo Shizhen just glanced at it twice and put it on the table.
He had no intention of going to the wedding banquet with Lin Guantang.
The main reason was that he had a mission to perform and there was a time conflict, so he couldn't attend the so-called wedding banquet with Lin Guantang.
Moreover, with his bad reputation, going there might even do more harm than good. It might scare people into thinking that some crisis is about to happen, and then they would increase their vigilance regardless of the reason, making it more difficult for Lin Guantang to attend the wedding banquet.
That won't work.
So although Lin Guantang felt a little disappointed that he couldn't go with him, it was a fleeting moment and he didn't have any big regrets. He just wished him success in his mission.
This is quite redundant. Huo Shizhen has successfully completed every mission.
But life always requires some words that we know are redundant, and we say them to fill the gaps in time and glue the gaps in feelings, so that two people who originally had nothing to do with each other and had their own edges and corners can finally be combined into a complete whole.
Just like Huo Shizhen never had the habit of reporting his itinerary to others, after saying that he couldn't go together, he added:
"I can't go with you, but when you're done, you can come find me here."
As he spoke, the system automatically sent an address to Lin Guan.
You talk as if I really want to see you.
Lin Guantang snorted twice, but did not forget to check the distance.
It would take at least two or three hours to drive from Linyi District to the mission location sent by Huo Shizhen.
Huo Shizhen, a mission maniac, would actually take the initiative to let people irrelevant to the mission "disturb" his mission progress. It has to be said that Lin Guantang was still very surprised and moved.
But forget about the action.
Even if he was just a guest, attending a banquet was very tiring. Moreover, he went to the wedding banquet with a purpose. It was conceivable that even if it did not consume too much physical strength, it would still take a lot of energy.
When it's over, I'm probably so tired that I don't even want to take another step. How could I have the energy to drive two or three hours to find him?
"Then let's meet in the imperial capital."
In the end, Lin Guantang left him these words.
***
No matter what the purpose of a wealthy family marriage is, the guests at the wedding are always very lively.
What this sentence means is that according to Lin Guantang's original idea, most of the people attending the wedding banquet are relatives and friends of the Gu and Dai families, and have nothing to do with him. So others will probably not notice his whereabouts while they are having a lively time at the banquet, making it convenient for him to act.
Then he overthought it.
Although he didn't know the guests and had no plans to expand his social circle through this wedding banquet, the guests really wanted to get to know him.
His mere internet celebrity identity certainly wasn't worth those people's initiative to talk to him, but if he really was going to marry into the Huo family's omega, that would be another matter. Moreover, the empire clearly intended to use him to ease the confrontation between the empire's ABOs and convey a message of supporting omegas or other intentions.
At this time——
Of course, the most important thing is to establish a good relationship with him. Anyone who intends to target him because of his poor background or other reasons is a fool.
But there is no need to "play it by ear".
Of course, Lin Guantang had received special training on how to answer various questions in public. It was not difficult for him, but it was very tiring - the fatigue of feeling bored but having to deal with it perfectly.
At this time, I envied Huo Shizhen's style of doing things his own way - but it may also be because his reputation has already fallen to the bottom, so he simply gave up and did not intend to make any amends.
In short, after responding politely to everything, and with the muscles on his face stiff from smiling, Lin Guantang finally found a quiet place to sit down. He was exhausted and his mouth was dry.
Fortunately, Yuan Wenjun and Pu Xinglan came with him and helped him share some of the hard work, otherwise it would have been delayed for a lot of time. In addition to Lin Guantang, Gu Jiaying also invited some classmates from O College to attend the wedding banquet.
Soon after the three of them sat down, a tall and handsome waiter came over and kindly brought them some throat-soothing tea.
Yuan Wenjun was generous in her praise, gossiping in a low voice that the waiter had a nice appearance and figure, and that the old man Dai was really broad-minded, as he dared to hire such a young and energetic guy, and was not afraid of being labeled.
Yuan Wenjun's tone of voice and her original intention in saying this were not to criticize Gu, but to think that it was shameless for Old Man Dai to marry a young man who could be his son or even grandson at his age.
But no matter what the reason was, it was inconvenient for Lin Guantang to be choked by this sudden sentence.
Then, with something hard to describe, he followed Yuan Wenjun's gaze and looked in the direction the waiter disappeared.
It's an acquaintance——
Whether it was the waiter, or the person who replaced the waiter, emerged from the crowd and walked towards them after the waiter's figure disappeared into the crowd.
The waiter was Ding Ruize, who Lin Guantang had no idea how he had gotten in;
The people who appeared behind and walked towards Lin Guantang and the others were Jian Yinglai, You Guangyu, and Tian Ye.
It's a totally unexpected combination.
