The 16th day of the ninth lunar month is the wedding of Xie Yao and Chen Yu.
There is still the last set of outdoor photos left to take, and there is a rehearsal later. Time is tight, but at this moment, the bride has locked out the makeup artist and photographer, and is alone with a "man" with a suspicious identity. In the lounge.
Looking at his best friend who had disappeared for five years, Xie Yao cursed: "You still know how to come back! I almost thought you died outside! Jiang Huai, if I hadn't gotten married this time, you would never have come back!"
Xie Yao was about to cry, and Jiang Huai quickly comforted her, "Don't cry on this big day. I'm back now. I promise to report to you no matter where I go in the future, okay?"
"So you won't leave when you come back this time?"
"Well, for now."
When Xie Yao heard this, he sneered slightly.
"It's just for the time being. If you don't come back, your Lao Jiang family's property will all be renamed Zhou!" As she said that, she sighed again, "It's really bad for farmers and snakes... I won't say it, bad luck, bah bah bah! You have to witness my wedding today before leaving, do you hear me?"
Jiang Huai nodded obediently.
Xie Yao grew up in a honeypot and was favored by her parents from childhood to adulthood. Now that she is getting married, her husbands Chen Yu and Jiang Huai heard about it and they also doted on her extremely.
Jiang Huai thought that if her parents had not been taken away by the accident ten years ago, she would be as happy as Xie Yao.
Xie Yao took off the hat on Jiang Huai's head and looked at her short hair. She felt it was really awkward.
"Why did you cut your hair? How beautiful is your long hair?"
Jiang Huai used to have standard black and straight hair, and she had a good temperament. Just by standing there, she could attract the attention of countless people.
Xie Yao is always proud of this because the goddess is her best friend.
Jiang Huai smoothed his short hair on his temples, and his face became more loving: "It's more convenient to take care of the children this way."
"You have a kid?!"
Jiang Huai pursed his lips and smiled: "Well, there is a cute baby. I will bring you to meet him."
Jiang Huai's child is naturally a cute and beautiful baby, Xie Yao has no doubt about this.
"What about the child's father?" Xie Yao changed the subject.
She was very concerned and wondered if Jiang Huai had found someone who loved her very much, if he had found someone who was strong enough to protect her, and if he had found someone who could help her deal with Zhou Shiyan.
When Jiang Huai was 6 years old, the Jiang family adopted Zhou Shiyan.
Although Zhou Shiyan was born with a good skin, he was actually very ambitious.
Since the death of Jiang Huai's parents ten years ago, Zhou Shiyan has taken over the Jiang family's business. She could always hear her parents and friends discussing how many shares Zhou Shiyan had taken back today to become the largest shareholder of Hengan Group, and which business of the Jiang family would be adjusted tomorrow.
Those years were the most painful years for Jiang Huai, until one day five years ago, she left without saying goodbye and suddenly disappeared.
Some people say that Zhou Shiyan drove Jiang Huai out of the country to prevent her from interfering in the Jiang family's business. Others say that Zhou Shiyan had murderous intentions and Jiang Huai ran away after finding out.
Who knows?
But he, Zhou Shiyan, was definitely not innocent.
As for the child's father, Jiang Huai just shook his head.
Xie Yao still wanted to ask, but Chen Yu's voice came from outside the door: "Are you so sure that Jiang Huai will come today? She hasn't been heard from in five years."
"Just ask Xie Yao and you will know."
It was Zhou Shiyan's voice.
"What are you all doing standing at the door? Where is Yaoyao? Can we shoot the last set of outdoor scenes?" Chen Yu waited outside for a long time alone, but Xie Yao never showed up.
The two people in the room suddenly felt panicked, and it was too late to go through the main entrance. Fortunately, the lounge was on the first floor, and outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the large lawn of the Botanical Garden. Jiang Huai took one last look at Xie Yao, and left through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Chen Yu looked at the people who were looking at each other, and thought in his heart, Zhou Shiyan couldn't really be right. The man who had disappeared for five years was in his wife's lounge right now, right?
"Yao Yao? What's wrong?" Chen Yu knocked on the door.
After a while, Xie Yao opened the door and was already wearing a gauze for outdoor shooting.
"I'm changing into a dress. I don't like outsiders being around when I'm changing. Come in."
The floor-to-ceiling windows were wide open, and the window screens were blown outside the house with the autumn wind, as if they were trying to escape.
Xie Yao crossed her arms to block Zhou Shiyan's steps to enter the house.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
Chen Yu put his arms around Xie Yao's waist and whispered in her ear: "Yao Yao, Lao Zhou came here specially to give you a red envelope. Don't give away the God of Wealth."
"Is he a relative or friend of mine? No. Besides, I can't accept the red envelope from Mr. Zhou."
Xie Yao spoke openly and openly, not hiding his disgust.
Chen Yu had a headache. Zhou Shiyan was indeed not her relative or friend, he was here for Jiang Huai. If it weren't for Jiang Huai, how many people in Jiangcheng would be able to invite this giant Buddha to their wedding?
But since Jiang Huai left five years ago, Xie Yao never gave Zhou Shiyan a good look. In the entire Jiangcheng, the number of people with such courage can be counted on one hand.
Chen Yu knew that it was because of Jiang Huai's face that Zhou Shiyan was not as knowledgeable as her.
Not paying attention to the sting in Xie Yao's words, Zhou Shiyan just asked: "Where is Jiang Huai?"
The tone was sure that she had been here.
"Mr. Zhou asked so early. You knew the answer but you were still asking. I also want to ask, isn't Jiang Huai buried somewhere by you?"
This is not a pleasant thing to say. It rises directly to the level of punishment and crime.
Chen Yu on the side hated that his hands were not fast enough and could not cover Xie Yao's mouth.
The other person involved was quite calm.
"Have you ever had anyone here before?"
Xie Yao didn't answer.
Zhou Shiyan pointed to the sofa behind her, "The hat fell down."
After saying that, he lost interest in staying any longer. When he turned around, he told his assistant: "The bride's gift necklace has been lost. Check the surveillance camera. If you can't find it, report it directly to the police."
He meant to dig deep into the ground, and his methods were despicable.
The assistant silently squeezed the jewelry box in his hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Ugh, disgusting! Check the surveillance and find such a high-sounding excuse!
Xie Yao was so angry that she canceled the location shooting.
Chen Yu was helpless, but he could also guess this result.
Xie Yao was angry and uneasy. Until the ceremony started, there was no news from Zhou Shiyan.
She thought Jiang Huai should have left.
This wedding, because of Zhou Shiyan's arrival, temporarily added a link - speeches from relatives and friends.
Leaving aside the factor of Jiang Huai, Zhou Shiyan and Chen Yu are good brothers, and this makes sense for them to be relatives and friends.
Zhou Shiyan was wearing a dark gray suit today, and his hair style was casual but distinctive. As soon as he stood on the stage, he was the focus of the crowd under the lights, even though today's leading actor was supposed to be Chen Yu.
At this time, someone looked at him from a distance, with mixed feelings in his heart.
After Zhou Shiyan finished the congratulatory message he had drafted early in the morning, the assistant walked up to the couple holding the jewelry box. What was in the box was the "lost" necklace from before.
The emcee recognized it at a glance as the Deep Blue Heart that had been sold for 12 million at the Bogard auction not long ago.
"Let us applaud and thank Mr. Zhou for the gift he sent to the newlyweds. Everyone knows that Mr. Zhou and Mr. Chen are good brothers. For the wedding of their good brothers, Mr. Zhou is willing to spend a lot of money. Mr. Zhou, please allow me to be curious. Miss Ren recently won the Peony Award. After winning the award, what kind of surprise are you planning to give Ms. Ren?"
Zhou Shiyan is handsome, dignified, and a dignified CEO. He is surrounded by countless beauties and swallows, but he only drinks from one ladle of water. Over the years, his rumored heroine has always only been one person, Ren Mengdi.
Everyone was curious about the questions asked by the emcee, but Zhou Shiyan was also famous for not answering personal questions during interviews.
Chen Yu was already thinking about how to smooth things over, but Zhou Shiyan said, "Hexi Manor? I'm still thinking about it."
Hexi Manor!
Jiang Huai's eyes suddenly widened.
In those years, Zhou Shiyan disposed of many properties of the Jiang family.
Jiang's mother liked flowers, so Jiang's father bought a park in the south of the city and hired the best gardeners to make the park bloom all year round. Jiang's mother took Jiang Huai and Zhou Shiyan for picnics every season, and Zhou Shiyan sold it.
Jiang's father liked fishing, opened a small fishing gear company, and also funded a fishing competition. When Zhou Shiyan encountered difficulties, Jiang's father always took him fishing and gave him guidance. He closed the fishing gear company and withdrew his capital from the competition. .
Jiang Huai likes sweets, so Jiang's father opened a candy factory with the brand name "Baby's Candy", and Zhou Shiyan personally transferred it to others.
Jiang Huai tried to stop her, but she had no right to speak. So what if she stopped her?
The other properties of the Jiang family were just a few lines of text to her, and those that left memories were ultimately the only ones left were the Jiang family's old residence, Jiangnan Mansion, and the Hexi Manor left by Grandma Jiang Huai.
That was all she had left.
While Jiang Huai silently bit his lower lip in the distance, Zhou Shiyan walked off the stage amidst boos.
Zhou Shiyan was very generous today and stayed at the hotel until the wedding banquet was over.
When Chen Yu finally saw him in the lounge, he was very surprised, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Zhou Shiyan only said: "I'm tired, let's take a rest."
He closed his eyes to rest, and Chen Yu unexpectedly patted his shoulder.
He looked in the direction indicated by Chen Yu. The girl had cut off her long hair and was thin. When she looked at him, her eyes were red, as if she was about to shed tears in the next second.
"Hexi Manor, give it back to me."
