Chapter 496 The Wedding Procession Was Made Difficult
As night deepened, Pei Shizhou lay in bed, gazing at the moonlight outside the window, his heart filled with anticipation.
Tomorrow, she and Xia Yi will be getting married and starting a new life together. Suddenly, his bedroom door opened.
"who"
Pei Shizhou immediately stood up. He was getting married tomorrow; surely no one would try to scheme against him at this time!
Probably not. He's always been very chaste and hasn't given any woman a chance. Besides, with so many men who've served in the military living in the house, it's impossible that he wouldn't even know someone had come in.
"It's me."
Gu Yunting walked in and turned on the light in Pei Shizhou's room.
"Shizhou, why are you standing by the bed? I thought you were asleep."
Why was he standing by the bed? Didn't Gu Yunting have any idea?
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"There are so many people on the bride's side, and we only have five people. Even with you, there are only six of us. I'm afraid it won't be easy to bring the bride back tomorrow."
Gu Yunting scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled. Pei Shizhou frowned, also starting to have some doubts.
Xiao Chu has many relatives and friends. Not to mention the two Xia brothers, she has two older cousins from the Lin family, and a younger cousin named Lin Xingcheng.
Not to mention Xiao Chu's friends, and Xu Shaoyang, her suitor, are all formidable opponents. Who knows what problems might arise during the wedding procession? Pei Shizhou's head throbbed just thinking about it.
"So what are your thoughts?"
Pei Shizhou asked. Gu Yunting had been married before, so he had some experience.
"It's easy to talk to your sister-in-law's friends; just prepare more red envelopes. But you have so many brothers-in-law; you can't bribe them with red envelopes."
"I don't care, you guys have to help me pick up the bride smoothly tomorrow, and then I'll give you time off to go back and be with your wife."
"Taking a holiday is fine, but spending time with my wife is out of the question."
Gu Yunting's wife was arranged by his family; the two had no feelings for each other. His family used his grandfather's illness to force him to return home, threatening to forbid him from leaving the house if he didn't marry. He had no choice but to compromise and marry her to stop bothering his family.
"Yunting, if you don't like her, you shouldn't touch her, and you definitely shouldn't get her pregnant."
Since things are already like this, and she's pregnant with your child, and you don't have anyone you like, you should try to get along with her. Be responsible to her, and give your child a warm home.
Gu Yunting shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had no choice. His family said that if she wasn't pregnant, Gu Yunting wouldn't be allowed to come to Kyoto.
"Alright, go to sleep! It'll be dawn in four hours. I'll discuss this with the others again. Rongbing's girlfriend is my sister-in-law's good friend."
She's my sister-in-law's bridesmaid again this time. Tomorrow, let Rongbing use his charm to get her to cooperate with us from the inside.
When Yu Rongbing went to Pengcheng with Pei Shizhou to visit Xia Yichu, he and Wu Qiuhong, who was playing at Xia Yichu's house, hit it off. The two had been together for over a year and were recently discussing marriage.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Pei Shizhou turned off the light and lay back on the bed, looking forward to tomorrow, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
Gu Yunting and Yu Rongbing were discussing the wedding arrangements for tomorrow, hoping to help Pei Shizhou win the heart of his beloved as soon as possible.
In the morning, Pei Shizhou's side was all ready. Lin's mother had someone choose an auspicious time for them and instructed that Xia Yichu should not enter the house until 9:20, saying that time was the most auspicious.
Pei Shizhou originally wanted Xia Yichu to marry him in the traditional way of a son-in-law living with his wife's family. However, Lin's parents disagreed no matter what, saying that Pei Shizhou was a businessman and had invited many business partners to the wedding.
If Xia Yichu were to marry him, he would become a laughingstock. The suggestion is to follow the traditional marriage customs for men, and that any children born from such a union take Xia Yichu's surname.
That's why we have Pei Shizhou's wedding procession today. Because the two families live close by and the alleyway is narrow, only two wedding cars were used to pick up Xia Yichu. The other cars were parked in front of Pei Shizhou's house, waiting to pick up the bride.
Then they drive around together again to pick up the bride and bring her home. After resting at home for an hour, they go to the restaurant for the wedding banquet.
Upon arriving at Xia Yichu's house, before Pei Shizhou even got out of the car, he saw the two Xia brothers and his cousins from the Lin family standing ready.
After Pei Shizhou got out of the car, he called out to each of them in turn, and the groomsmen stood by with smiles and offered them cigarettes.
Xia Zhiqian refused the cigarette, crossed his arms, and said, "Pei Shizhou, taking Xiao Chu away won't be that easy. First, you'll have to get past us and answer a few questions."
Xia Zhiqian holds grudges. He still remembers how Pei Shizhou drove him away in order to be alone with Xia Yichu.
The people behind him also joined in the commotion. Pei Shizhou took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Alright, Zhiqian-ge, ask away."
What is Xiao Chu's favorite color? What does she like to eat? What does she hate the most?
Xia Zhiqian fired off a series of questions, prompting those around him to express concern about his intelligence. But how could these possibly stump Pei Shizhou? Sure enough, Pei Shizhou answered fluently.
"White, Xiao Chu says white is pure and flawless. Xiao Chu eats almost anything, but her favorite food is cake. She hates being lied to."
Xia Zhiqian's expression wasn't good. He had asked Xia Yichu last night, and she said she hadn't discussed these things with Pei Shizhou. However, he still had a backup plan.
"Shizhou, these are just appetizers. I have other questions for you. Listen carefully, please list ten of Xiao Chu's good qualities."
"She is beautiful, gentle, considerate, intelligent, independent, loving, optimistic, strong, and courageous..."
"Alright, that's nonsense."
It's understandable to say that Xia Yichu is beautiful, smart, and independent, but as for being gentle and considerate, Xia Zhiqian disagrees.
"No, in my mind, Xiao Chu is just that kind of person."
"That's enough for you. We can't delay Xiao Chu's auspicious time for starting school."
Lin's mother called from inside the door, saying that they would have to drive around on the road before coming back, and they couldn't miss the auspicious time.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly pulled Xia Zhiqian away. Xia Zhiqian was too stupid and wasting time; they should let them speak.
"Brother-in-law, let me do it."
Lin Xingcheng stepped forward and stood in front of Pei Shizhou. After several years apart, Lin Xingcheng was no longer the naive young man he once was. At this moment, he stood tall and straight, exuding a sharp and mature aura.
He looked directly at Pei Shizhou and said, "Brother-in-law, I won't make things difficult for you. Tell me, what if you do something to betray Xiao Chu in the future? Don't tell me it won't happen; I'm just saying hypothetically."
Pei Shizhou looked at Lin Xingcheng seriously and said solemnly: Although that day will never come, if you want to know, then I will tell you today.
If that day ever comes, I don't want anything; I'm willing to leave with nothing. Even if we have children in the future, I won't fight for custody with Xiao Chu.
"Are you sure?" Lin Xingcheng asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I can take responsibility for what I said today, and I'm willing to sign the agreement."
Lin Xingcheng had been waiting for this very sentence, and his face immediately broke into a smile.
"Perfect timing. I brought my lawyer today, and the agreement is already drafted. Don't worry, Xiao Chu won't take all of your assets and company shares. No matter what, she'll leave some for your retirement."
Attorney Zhang, please bring out the agreement we prepared and have my brother-in-law sign it. By the way, brother-in-law, this was my idea alone; Xiao Chu didn't know about it.
All those bullshit promises and oaths are useless; we'd be better off with something concrete.
Lin Xingcheng's desire for the items was genuine, but it also served to restrain Pei Shizhou; after all, who can guarantee they'll only love one person their entire life?
