“Aiya, why did you not say it earlier? I would have helped you book the Grand Continental Hotel’s sixth floor ballroom. My boyfriend is now the manager of that hotel, and his dad is the chairman. Even if you had too many guests, I could have helped you.”
A woman dressed exceptionally seductively was laughing as she talked.
“That is too much trouble, this place is fine.”
“Women should treat themselves better. Ah, my boyfriend is here, I will be over there for awhile.”
Ouyang Qingqing smiled and nodded her head.
“Qingqing, Min is too much, but today is your day. Don’t bother with her, it’s not worth getting angry over her.”
“Hmph, he is just a small manager, and she is trying to show off. When she was chasing after Rock, she was more slutty than this.”
What was important to Ouyang Qingqing was Luo Ke’s true nature. While he may not be a sweet talker, but he was serious in what he did and treated her well. This was fate. As for living conditions, to be honest, it was decent and she did not have high standards for material goods. The key was compatibility. From university to the start of working lives, Luo Ke had not changed, and neither had she.
Today, Luo Mu’s mouth never closed. Old friends from the OMG Company, which was under the KO Group, and even the teachers from Ares College came. The male side helped to instill some life into the quiet place, making it less awkward.
“Luo Ke, this kid, marriage is an important milestone. Who chose this place? Just now, a few of my friends could not find a place to park, and even had to park at a nearby mall before coming here. I watched Qingqing grow up, and marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, how can you be so casual about it!”
Liang Dong was really dissatisfied. As Ouyang Qingqing’s uncle, deep in his heart, he did not agree with this marriage. While the guy was honest, how would being honest help? And talented? Could his talent be used as food? A technician at OMG, when would he ever be rich?
Other than good looks, family background was important as well, as it concerned the future of the bride. Looking at the guests the male side had invited – some minor employees and some teachers from Ares College – all of them looked like they were retired elderly, and did not seem to be of much use.
He had heard that Luo Mu was an important person in OMG, but who knows who he was? Liang Dong’s eyes were sharp. He seemed like he was either retired or a “laborer.” What future would he have?
Luo Ke was embarrassed and scratched his head. “Uncle, there have been plenty of weddings recently, and it was hard to get here, but I will definitely treat Qingqing well.”
Liang Dong looked at him. He really was useless, but it was not good to say too much, as Qingqing was willing. His sister and sister-in-law were like fools as well. If all that mattered was what their child liked, what was the point of them being parents?
If only they were better!
Most importantly… seeing the gazes from friends chatting with the guest made Liang Dong red with embarrassment.
“Old Liang, what did Qingqing – oh my God – is this not embarrassing? Didn’t you say that this family belonged to an important person of OMG? Why can’t I see it.” Liang Dong’s wife began complaining. She did not like the Ouyang family. Ouyang Qingqing spent her whole day acting free spirited, and as if she was a goddess, better than her daughter.
“Shut up!” Liang Dong glared at this petty wife who had a sharp mouth.
“What are you being fierce for? Do you think I want to say it? I lost all face in front of my friends.”
It was not that Luo Mu did not hear it – even his friends could feel the guests from the female side looking down on them, despising this and that. While they were trying to say it nicely, it did not feel good.
Zhuo Mu could not say anything. In this setting, it was best to tolerate it because harmony was the most important thing. He had to tolerate it for the kids. Luo Mu had a hot temper as well, and he expected to suffer like this at this age.
Ouyang Qingqing was done with her make up, and she was slightly nervous. While she felt like her best friends were being unfair to her, they gave her their blessings, and she trusted her own judgment.
“Aiya, Cousin, you are so beautiful!” A girl dressed seductively jumped in. “It was difficult to find this place. Dad had to spend a long time bringing us here. Why did Cousin-in-Law choose such a place?”
The moment Liang Fengfei entered, she rattled off like a machine gun. “Did you not prepare a band? It’s so boring outside. I thought you would have invited some star. Right, cousin-in-law works in OMG, and in the key research department as well. Why did he not invite Ye Zisu? I wanted to see if she was really pretty.”
This time it was not just Ouyang Qingqing, but her best friends rolled their eyes as well. Was this person okay? What kind of person was Ye Zisu? Even if Luo Mu were the president of OMG, his status would not be enough to invite Ye Zisu.
On the other side, Liang Dong’s face was red. He had brought his friends to help support his sister, but the problem was that the other side was too weak. This made it awkward for his sister, and made himself lose face as well. This Luo Mu was stupid. A wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Why had he not used his authority or pulled any favors? Or at least put on an act!
This Luo Ke was foolish as well. Even if his head was not here, at least play a video to deal with the situation.
Luo Mu was truly tolerating all of this. For his grandson’s happiness, he would tolerate anything – just smile and let it go. However, he could not hide the sadness and disappointment in his heart.
Suddenly, two men with tuxedos appeared, and walked over with a broadcasting device.
“You are?”
“May I ask if this is Mr. Luo Ke and Ms. Ouyang Qingqing’s wedding?”
“Yes, and you are?”
“Hello, President Ye was unable to come due to his busy schedule, but he asked us to bring his well wishes.”
President Ye?
Luo Mu was stunned. He did not know anyone called President Ye.
But everyone who came was a guest, so he did not think much. Hence, he let the both of them in, and continued to entertain guests outside.
After a few minutes, shrill screams could be heard from the hall, especially from Liang Dong’s wife, whose voice was earth-shaking.
Sh*t, did they start fighting?
Luo Mu rushed in and was immediately stunned, as the two men in tuxedos were playing a video. No one is unfamiliar with the man in the video – it was the Solar System Federation’s President!
As OMG’s ex president, as an old employee of OMG, Luo Mu knew him, Ye Bingwen… President Ye.
“… Not being able to come personally is a regret for me. I wish an everlasting marriage to the both of them. Old Luo, if you have nothing to do, come play chess with me.”
When Ye Bingwen was done, the whole hall erupted. This old man was actually old friends with President Ye Bingwen!
Liang Dong and his friends were shocked. There was no need for Ye Bingwen to come personally, because not many people could make him record such a video.
Luo Mu was tearing up, and suddenly, someone patted his shoulder…
In the bride’s room, Liang Fengfei continued to rattle on, not caring about what others thought, but the noises outside in the hall stopped her.
“Is this Ouyang Qingqing?”
A girl walked in from the door, and the whole room lit up. Ouyang Qingqing was confident in herself, be it aura or talent, but in front of this girl, she could not even come close to her. She was not overbearing, but natural.
But… why did she look familiar…
“I am Ye Zisu, Teacher Luo Mu’s student. Miss Qingqing, congratulations, Luo Ke is an indispensable talent in the KO Group, I hope you will treat him well.”
While Ouyang Qingqing was fine, the mouths of her best friends were wide open… Ye Zisu had come… Oh God…
What made the guests nearly collapse was when the wedding started. When they saw the best man, it felt like the world around them was falling apart.
Everyone knew this person. To be more accurate, they were much more familiar with him than Ye Bingwen. But to see him, the guardian of the Solar System, in person for the first time, the young people went insane. The screams from the girls were about to tear the place down.
Wang Zheng was the best man!
Luo Mu was seated at the table, extremely touched. He would have never dreamed of Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu coming. It felt like he had gone back in time, when Wang Zheng first came to his shop – the passion in his eyes when he saw the mech – and he was still passionate to this day. While time may change some things, some things would never change.
Even though they were not on Earth, they were not far away when they received the news, so Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu had decided to join the wedding.
Ye Zisu was surprisingly excited about this – Wang Zheng as the best man, Ye Zisu as the maid-of-honor. They were not wearing the attire of the groom and bride, but they were in the same wedding venue. When the groom kissed the bride, a smile appeared on Ye Zisu’s face…
