Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Discussing Stimulating People, You Claim Second Place, No One Dares to Claim First

During the wedding ceremony, representatives of both sets of parents were required to speak, offering blessings and hopes for the young couple.

Ding Yuan knew she wasn’t qualified to speak on their behalf, so she declined when Cheng Xiangheng asked for her opinion.

Many friends and business connections were present at the wedding, and Cheng Xiangheng stood on stage to grandly introduce Cheng Qiaobei as his eldest son. His words suggested he intended to entrust the management of the group to him, but this made Cheng Qiaobei feel uncomfortable. This was a wedding, not a corporate meeting.

In contrast, the Chen Family had Ye Yujun represent the bride’s parents on stage. Her few words moved many attendees to tears.

After the banquet, both sets of parents chatted happily, and Ding Yuan felt deeply grateful for their respect. However, there was an unusual atmosphere between Chen Weichuan and Cheng Xiangheng.

The two of them went to a secluded spot, where Chen Weichuan, with determined eyes, said, "Say what you need to say."

"Mayor Chen, I’ve offended you in the past. Now that we’re in-laws, I hope—" Before Cheng Xiangheng could finish his sentence, Chen Weichuan interrupted him, "I hope that the young couple’s future will be smooth and happy. Their happiness is the shared hope of our two families."

Once again, Cheng Xiangheng was left speechless, just like last time. He chuckled, "Mayor Chen."

Chen Weichuan corrected him, "In-law, in today’s setting, we are family, so let’s not talk about work."

He glanced back at Ye Yujun, who was not far away, smiled at her, and then turned to Cheng Xiangheng saying, "In-law, we should be leaving."

In Danjiang’s tradition, the bride’s family must leave before noon.

Before seeing her parents off, Chen Ningxi couldn’t control her tears, even though she knew it wasn’t a farewell forever. She cried with an aggrieved look, and seeing this, Cheng Qiaobei’s heart ached. He wiped her tears while holding her hand tightly.

Once the car had driven far away, Chen Ningxi shook off his hand and said, tearfully, "What’s up with you, holding onto me so tightly?"

Cheng Qiaobei knew she felt bad inside and hugged her, gently patting her back while comforting her, "Seeing you cry and not being able to cheer you up makes me anxious."

"You are worried about not cheering me up, or are you afraid I’ll run away with my parents?" Chen Ningxi said, both crying and laughing.

Nearby by the flowerbed, stood two people. Liang Lei, filled with hope, said, "It’s nice to see them so happy."

"Hmph." Lin Hanrui leaned against the edge of the flowerbed, crossed his long legs on the ground, and said, "What’s there to envy? It doesn’t prevent future arguments."

Liang Lei: "..."

She turned her face away, exasperated, "You’re a jinx! Today is my best friend’s wedding. Can’t you say something nice?"

Lin Hanrui pointed his chin at another person, "It’s also my good buddy getting married. What I’m saying is true."

"You—" Liang Lei huffed, and lightly punched him a few times. "With a mouth like yours, it’s a wonder you didn’t get beaten up a lot during school."

Her little fists felt like tickling when they hit him, making Lin Hanrui dodge while laughing, "You’re wrong. My teachers liked me a lot back then."

"Yes, they loved to beat you," Liang Lei retorted, unsatisfied, and bit his arm hard.

"Ouch!" Lin Hanrui howled in pain, "Hiss... You really bit me. Hiss... Damn, it hurts so much. Wait till tonight, we’ll see if I don’t bite you back."

After the wedding ended, everyone gradually left. Chen Ningxi’s high school classmates played a big role in setting the lively atmosphere. They all came up to say goodbye, and finally, He Yunyi stood in front of Chen Ningxi, saying, "You look really beautiful today."

Chen Ningxi smiled, "Thank you."

Cheng Qiaobei reached out his hand, "Mr. He, we might need your help with our kids’ schooling in the future."

He Yunyi, who had been drinking, showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes but nodded in agreement.

"No problem, just ask, I’ll do whatever I can."

Chen Ningxi said, "He’s just joking with you."

Cheng Qiaobei replied, "Who’s joking? Not everyone can attend Danjiang’s Number One Primary School, and we don’t have a school district housing. We have to ask Mr. He for a favor."

Chen Ningxi: "..."

He Yunyi, feeling the effects of the alcohol, waved his hand, "No problem, no problem."

Seeing that He Yunyi was about to cry, Chen Ningxi quickly got someone to help him into a car.

After most of the classmates had left, Chen Ningxi twisted Cheng Qiaobei’s waist, causing him to bite his back teeth in pain.

Chen Ningxi said, "When it comes to triggering people, you’re the best."

"What did I do?" Cheng Qiaobei feigned innocence.

Chen Ningxi squinted, having already figured him out, "Keep pretending."

"What did I do?" Cheng Qiaobei, who also drank a lot, wobbled a bit, tilting his head to look at Chen Ningxi, "What’s wrong, honey?"

Chen Ningxi said, "Don’t pretend to be drunk. I know your limit."

Cheng Qiaobei laughed, "I’m really drunk."

"Ha," Chen Ningxi glared, "Have you ever seen a drunk person admit they’re drunk?"

Cheng Qiaobei pointed to the table of Chen Ningxi’s high school classmates, "See those empty bottles of liquor?"

There were three empty bottles of liquor on the table.

Chen Ningxi’s eyes widened, "...Really? You drank three bottles?"

"No, no," Cheng Qiaobei shook his head, which made him dizzier, so he quickly stopped, "I was just made to drink three glasses by He Yunyi, and you blame me for annoying him?"

Chen Ningxi frowned, "Why did He Yunyi make you drink so much?"

When Cheng Qiaobei heard Chen Ningxi was defending him, he leaned his head on her shoulder, "My wife is so good to me. All your classmates took the chance when you were away to bully me, making me drink, so sinister."

"It’s not that bad," Chen Ningxi thought it wasn’t that serious, "They were just happy, so they wanted to drink with you. There was no hidden agenda."

"I say it is," Cheng Qiaobei persisted, "They just want me to be useless on our wedding night and sleep all the way until the next day."

Chen Ningxi quickly covered his mouth, "Close your mouth already. There are still guests around, don’t let them hear."

After seeing off the last group of guests, Cheng Xiangheng approached them slowly.

"Today’s wedding banquet was very successful. You’re probably exhausted. Bridge North, you’re on your wedding leave, so take this time to rest well. I have business to attend to, so I’ll leave first."

From the moment Cheng Qiaobei saw Cheng Xiangheng, he sobered up halfway.

They walked Cheng Xiangheng to the door, and Cheng Qiaobei said, "Thank you."

Cheng Xiangheng smiled and turned to get in the car. Deng Yan closed the car door and nodded to Cheng Qiaobei, "I’ll take Mr. Cheng back now. Happy newlywed life to you both."

They both said in unison, "Thank you."

Before Cheng Xiangheng left, Ding Yuan had already slipped out without saying goodbye. She didn’t like farewells, so she didn’t bother with them.

In Chen Ningxi’s heart, her mother-in-law had a peculiar yet endearing personality.

Lin Hanrui was responsible for driving them back to their wedding room, so he hadn’t drunk at all. Liang Lei, sitting in the passenger seat, said to Lin Hanrui, "After dropping them off, take me home."

Lin Hanrui asked, "Not going to my place?"

Liang Lei propped up her head, "I drank a little too much, feeling uncomfortable."

Lin Hanrui smirked, "Feeling uncomfortable? Just the right time for a warm guy like me to pamper you."
