Chapter 661: 415 Arch-enemies Finally Become Uncles, Some Rejoice and Some Rue (3 updates)

The wedding ceremony began, and compared to the usual weddings, there were essentially two highlights.

At Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian’s wedding, the flower children were their own son and daughter. The two little ones, dressed in a small tuxedo and a little tulle dress, were very young, and when they got on stage, facing so many people, they couldn’t help but feel some nervousness and restraint.

The second highlight was naturally the speeches by the Xie Family.

Nowadays at weddings, there seems to always be a segment dedicated to thanking parents and elders, aiming to move everyone to tears.

Although both the Jiang and Xie families also had a segment for friends and relatives to give speeches, all they spoke of were blessings and joy.

However, besides Elder Xie offering his blessings, Xie Duo was also asked to go up on stage and give a speech.

“First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for attending today’s wedding…” Xie Duo had prepared his speech in advance, neither humble nor arrogant, until it came to the last few sentences, “Finally, I wish my little aunt and…”

“Uncle!” These two words popped out of his mouth with a bit of a gnashing of teeth.

“I wish you a lifetime of happiness and to grow old together.”

Many people below who knew about the grudge between him and Jiang Yanting couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The young master Xie had been holding it in for so long, but in the end, he still had to call out ‘uncle.’

As for the exchange of rings, kissing the bride, and the ceremony of drinking from the bridal cups, everything went smoothly according to procedure, right up to the bouquet toss. Numerous unmarried young ladies couldn’t help but gather in front, all wanting a piece of the joyful atmosphere.

“Zhixian, over here!” One of the bridesmaids had gotten ready early on.

“Shuci, you should go and fight for the bouquet too,” Grandma Shen urged Shen Shuci.

“I’ll pass,” Shen Shuci also knew that a bridesmaid with whom she had spent the day really wanted the bouquet, and Shen Zhixian also planned to toss it to her friend. Moreover, she wasn’t very eager about love and marriage, nor did she want to join the lively scene just for the sake of it.

“Auntie Shan, go ahead, it’s all in good fun.”

Tang Wan, being already married, naturally couldn’t vie for the bouquet and was also egging on Shen Shuci.

Shen Shuci had no choice but to bite the bullet and hang around on the sidelines.

“Yo— Miss Shen is going after the bouquet too.” Qi Zeyan nudged the person next to him, “Hey, Old Huo, why don’t you secretly tell me how far you two have gotten?”

Huo Qinqi just gave a cold glance.

“That’s no fun, we’re supposed to be friends after all. I’ve covered for you so many times, you could at least leak some insider information to me.”

Qi Zeyan was nearly cracking up with laughter every time he thought of how Jiang Chengsi, that simpleton, was actually in the car teaching Huo Qinqi how to flirt and chase after a wife.

Shen Shuci is Jiang Jinsang’s aunt, and also counts as Jiang Chengsi’s…

You’re teaching him to dig your own family’s corner?

When your own wall is knocked down, I’d like to see where you’ll go crying.

“I didn’t ask you to cover for me,” Huo Qinqi said as he watched Shen Shuci. Many girls were crowded in front, but Shen Shuci stood on the side, clearly showing little desire to vie for the bouquet.

“You…” Qi Zeyan choked on his words, “Old Huo, that’s not very decent of you. If not for me, Jiang Xiaowu would have definitely discovered what’s going on with you and his aunt by now.”

“Now you can go tell him.”

Qi Zeyan was irritated.

After so much time had passed, and with him raising a cat, taking photos just now and all sorts of taking advantage, exposing the affair now would surely lead to Jiang Jinsang dealing with him too.

And at that moment, accompanied by an exclamation, Shen Zhixian had already thrown the bouquet…

Everyone reached out to grab it, the bouquet tossing around in the crowd, and it even passed through Shen Shuci’s hands before falling into the hands of a young lady in her mid-twenties.

Shen Shuci had no real desire to compete for it, nor did she get the bouquet, but having touched it and then watching it slip through her fingers, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of loss.

“Tsk— She didn’t manage to get it, and she looks quite disappointed,” Qi Zeyan chuckled, “Do you know what going after the bouquet implies?”

“Hmm?”

“It means that Miss Shen has a longing for love, for marriage. People say whoever catches the bride’s bouquet will be next to get married. If she had no desire, why join in on that fuss?”

So it seems…

She longs for love, for marriage.

After the wedding ceremony and onto the toast segment, because there were so many people, Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian going table by table to toast took a considerable amount of time. After going from table to table for a while, even Jiang Yanting couldn’t stand it anymore, and Grandmother sent Jiang Chengsi out to intercept some drinking for him.

“Just by myself?” Jiang Chengsi was puzzled. Why weren’t his brother and Jiang Xiaowu going to help?

“Your brother can’t hold his liquor, Xiaowu has just recovered and shouldn’t drink excessively. You’ll have to put in some extra work tonight. Tomorrow, when you go to the old residence, Grandma will cook for you personally as a reward,” said the grandmother with a smile.
