Chapter 247 Pre-wedding
There has been unrest in South City these days, both overtly and covertly.
The man honked the horn as hard as he could, but the car in front showed no sign of moving forward.
The man poked his head out impatiently and yelled, "What's going on up ahead? Do you know how to drive? If not, I'll get out and drive for you! It's been blocked for so long! Can't you let people pass?"
"What are you yelling at?" the man in front also shouted, "If you have the guts, tell the car in front to drive away. Why are you yelling at me?"
"Row!"
The man got out of the car angrily and walked to the traffic police and angrily said: "What's going on these days? The road is blocked as soon as we get to the intersection near the Royal Gardens. I have been enduring it for a few days. What on earth are you trying to do?"
"There's going to be a wedding in the Royal Gardens and they're preparing. Please take another route." The traffic policeman replied while busy with his hands.
"No..." The man laughed in anger and grabbed the traffic policeman's collar and said coldly: "You are just trying to be perfunctory. At least give me a decent excuse. What do you mean by holding a wedding in the royal garden? Do you think it's a banquet hall? Who would get married in the emperor's territory?"
The traffic policeman said impatiently: "Even if you beat me to death today, I will still say the same thing. There is a wedding going on in the Royal Gardens. Please take a detour!"
He had lived half his life before he knew that the royal garden could actually be used to hold weddings. The person who could rent it must be extremely wealthy and he couldn't afford to offend him.
Besides, their traffic police department notified us that this month’s salary would be doubled, saying that it was change given by the organizer.
He is so generous, I deserve to be criticized!
The Mercedes parked next to the traffic police rolled down the window, revealing the man's slightly mature and handsome face.
"Dude, you just said that the Royal Garden is going to hold a wedding? Who is so extravagant and inhumane?"
"Shen Kuo, why are you so gossipy?" Shu Mengyu said dissatisfiedly when she was woken up.
"Baby, are you awake?" Shen Kuo was not angry at her attitude. Instead, he said cheerfully, "Wife, how long have you slept? Wake up and chat with me. I only gossip because I'm bored..."
Shu Mengyu's tone softened: "You are the only one who talks too much."
After Shen Kuo calmed her down, he immediately stuffed a box of cigarettes into the traffic policeman's hand and signaled him to continue speaking with his eyes.
He was really curious about who in Nancheng had the financial resources to rent this royal garden where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
The traffic policeman glanced at Shen Kuo's car calmly, put the cigarette in his pocket, and touched it a few times reluctantly to satisfy his craving.
He lowered his voice and said, "I only heard about this from others after a lot of effort. The Lu family is a military family, and the Jin family of Huanxing Group."
"Lu family? Jin family?" Shen Kuo frowned slightly. "Lu Shaoang, Jin Jinshu?"
"No! Why are two men joining in the fun..." Shen Kuo suddenly said excitedly as if he had suddenly realized something: "Su Jinyi!"
"That's right! Only the Lu and Jin families could do such a thing!"
Hearing the name that had disappeared from her side for a long time being suddenly mentioned, Shu Mengyu frowned, "Su Jinyi is getting married?"
"Yes, wife, how long have we been married? Our baby is about to be born, right?" Shen Kuo suddenly leaned over and put his ear close to her belly and asked in confusion: "Why isn't the baby moving?"
Shu Mengyu patted his head speechlessly and said, "It's only two months, how can there be fetal movement?"
"Wife, you hit me..." Shen Kuo said pretending to be aggrieved.
"Su...Su Jinyi is getting married..." she said cautiously.
Shen Kuo: "Yes, we are married too. We are all classmates and should be of marriageable age. Isn't this normal?"
"I'm talking about Su Jinyi..."
Shen Kuo finally realized what she meant. He hugged her gently and said guiltily: "Wife... why are you still so insecure... what does this mean? It means I haven't done enough!"
"Me..." Shen Kuo wanted to laugh when he thought about his own immature behavior in high school.
"I was obsessed with racing when I was in high school, and I just happened to meet Su Jinyi. I don't know where she learned racing, but she was really good at it. But before she showed up, I was clearly the best..."
Shen Kuo blushed a little when he said this.
"And then?" Shu Mengyu had a smile on her face without her noticing.
"All of a sudden I became the second. I was so proud at that time that I refused to accept it! Why should she, a woman, overshadow all my brilliance as soon as she appeared? Everyone's eyes were on him. Everyone only remembered who was the first. No one cared about the second..."
"She made me the eternal runner-up and then disappeared. I couldn't find her no matter how hard I tried. I was very upset when I couldn't find her, so I practiced as hard as I could, hoping to beat her time."
"You should be able to guess what happened next. She suddenly showed up at our school and happened to be in our class."
Shu Mengyu curled her lips and said, "That's all?"
Shen Kuo raised his hands nervously and swore: "I swear to my wife, heaven and earth! I have no improper thoughts about her!"
"Okay, I'll forgive you for now."
Shen Kuo observed her expression and said in a mean way, "Wife, you can't rent the royal garden just by saying so. Let's go and join in the fun and let me open my eyes. Maybe by the time we rent it out, we'll be too old to walk!"
Shu Mengyu: "How can it be so exaggerated?"
"Did the wife agree?" Shen Kuo asked excitedly.
"Since you are honest, I will reluctantly agree to this."
"Thank you, my wife, for your kindness!" Shen Kuo saluted her exaggeratedly.
Military Department.
Captain Li looked at Lu Shaoang's office, which was still brightly lit, and called Captain Zhou to complain, "Old Zhou, is this kid going to quarrel with me because the wedding date is approaching?"
Captain Zhou frowned: "No way, he looks quite steady, right?"
Captain Li curled his lips and smiled evilly: "Let's go and take a look?"
"Are you free..." Captain Zhou gritted his teeth as he looked at Captain Li who was leaving and said, "Wait for me!"
"Lu Shaoang, why are you not going home so late at night?"
Lu Shaoang was startled when he heard the sound, "Captain Li, why don't you make any noise when you walk!"
Captain Li: "Your alertness is so low now? Where is the basic quality of a soldier?"
Lu Shaoang: "Why are you so alert in your own home?"
Hearing this, the two looked at each other.
Something is wrong. A hundred thousand things are wrong!
Lu Shaoang is usually more serious than anyone else in the office and never responds to jokes. Did he come out from the west today?
No, the sun hasn’t come out yet, but the moon has.
"When did the military become your home? Where is your home?" Captain Zhou rarely spoke.
"My home..." Lu Shaoang smiled with a worthless look on his face when he thought about opening his eyes and seeing the Su family by his side in the future.
"It's the countdown, we'll have a home soon."
Captain Zhou said disdainfully: "Put away that worthless smile of yours. I usually ask you to smile more but you don't listen. Your smile is so ugly!"
"Ah? Ugly?" Lu Shaoang immediately wiped his face and asked anxiously: "Then how can I smile?"
"It's hopeless, let's go." Captain Zhou pulled Captain Li away.
Lu Shaoang looked at the shadow reflected on the window glass and imitated a smile.
"This..." Lu Shaoang asked doubtfully, "It's not ugly, right?"
Captain Li looked at the dumbfounded Lu Shaoang from outside the window and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Love can easily make people lose themselves."
Captain Zhou said with emotion: "It's good that he can find his own happiness besides work."
He had been watching Lu Shaoang all the way here, and had seen all the pain and torture he had gone through. If Lu Shaoang was happy, he would be happy for him.
"Then why is he still sitting here?" Captain Li asked puzzledly.
"Maybe he couldn't stand not seeing Jin Yi anymore, so he came to the military headquarters to divert some attention."
