Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

"Alright." Lu Huaijin continued to handle the matter with his eyes down. "I respect your choice and appreciate your friendship with Xia Wange. Although I don't understand your behavior of forcing yourself to be brave for no reason, I respect it. As long as you're happy."

Zhou Youning: "..."

She sat silently to the side, just about to get angry.

But then she thought that she was just going through the motions, while the person in front of her was going to stand on the stage and speak. Zhou Youning felt that Lu Huaijin seemed to be under more pressure.

"Aren't you nervous?" Zhou Youning leaned closer and asked curiously.

"Why be afraid?" Lu Huaijin looked up at Zhou Youning. Seeing her so close, he couldn't resist leaning in slightly and touching her red lips. "Hmm?"

A sudden tightness gripped Zhou Youning's heart, and her face inexplicably flushed for a moment, a slight flutter rising in her heart.

Looking at Lu Huaijin's calm expression, Zhou Youning wondered if he was faking it.

So he forcibly pulled his thoughts back and said, "Why aren't you afraid? Don't you know what kind of statement you'll be facing?"

"Of course I guessed." Lu Huaijin remained calm. "I might be a little nervous if I encountered one, but encountering a group..."

Lu Huaijin paused slightly, then said, "Then there's no need to be afraid, right?"

Blinking, Zhou Youning imagined the scene of facing a group of ghosts...

She jolted awake and quickly asked, "Why isn't it necessary?"

Isn't that even more terrifying?

"If something really happens, you might be able to escape if you only encounter one person," Lu Huaijin said calmly. "If you encounter a group, there's no point in running, so there's even less reason to be afraid."

Zhou Youning: "..."

Okay, that makes a lot of sense.

"Besides," Lu Huaijin felt that it was about time, so he stood up and helped Zhou Youning up as well, "you should trust your sister Xia's abilities; this is her territory."

One sentence made Zhou Youning's eyes light up, and she instantly stopped being nervous.

Yes.

This is Sister Xia's territory, who dares to cause trouble?

She's the first to rush in if anyone causes trouble!

Suddenly, Zhou Youning felt full of fighting spirit and followed Lu Huaijin to the hall with high spirits. However, when she saw that all the tables in front of her were set with dishes, and each seat had a bowl of rice and an incense stick, she deflated again.

How terrifying!

Those who came to this second session were all our own people. As it was about to start, all the incense was lit. I don't know what the incense was made of, but it wasn't pungent, and it lingered around the table in a very orderly manner.

The incense was lit by Xia Wange's best friend, Zhao Wan. After going through so many divorce cases, Zhao Wan said she no longer wanted to continue with her previous idea of ​​finding a man to marry and then having a beautiful woman by her side, so she was now preparing to light incense for her best friend.

Zhao Wan was exhausted after a day as a bridesmaid, so she decided not to be a bridesmaid at the nightclub. After lighting the incense, she found a corner in the hall, put on her earplugs, and went to sleep, as she had a court hearing the next day.

Why don't you go back to your room to sleep?

Zhao Wan was worried that she might encounter a lone ghost, and she felt more at ease in this setting, facing a group of ghosts.

Zhou Youning looked left and right, seeing only a few scattered living people who had come to help, and felt increasingly pressured.

"Big brother, is your speech ready?" A teasing voice appeared next to Zhou Youning. Immediately afterward, the seat next to Zhou Youning was pulled open, and Du Yun sat down, saying, "Not ready? Shall I give you a copy?"

Upon seeing Du Yun, Zhou Youning immediately felt less pressured.

Because Du Yun bears the responsibility of toasting and taking care of the guests, he is the pillar of the family.

"Sister-in-law, how about we have a drink first?" Du Yun picked up a wine glass, swirled it, and looked at Zhou Youning. "The wines that Sister Xia brought this time are all really good. They're so pure. I've drunk so many wines, but this is the first time I've tasted something this good. Sister Xia said it's a century-old craft brew."

"No need." Zhou Youning waved her hand, then glanced at the dozens of tables in front of her that only had dishes on them, before lowering her voice to ask, "President Du, aren't you nervous?"

"I'm nervous." Du Yun nodded, taking a sip of her drink. "I'm so nervous I'm barely talking. Didn't you notice?"

Zhou Youning: "..."

Not at all.

However, after the person carrying tons of pressure appeared, Zhou Youning was no longer so nervous.

It was almost time, so Lu Huaijin led Zhou Youning to the stage in the center of the hall to begin their speech.

Although it was a two-part event, there was still a procedure: after Lu Huaijin gave his speech, the newcomers were invited to the stage.

The ceremony began. Lu Huaijin, arm in arm with Zhou Youning, stood at the microphone in the center. He gently tapped the microphone to confirm everything was normal, then nodded slightly, looked at the empty hall, and began:

Distinguished guests and friends:

Hello everyone!

Today, we are gathered here to solemnly celebrate the wedding of my younger brother Lu Qiu and his wife Xia Wange.

Entrusted by my parents and elders, and after thorough deliberation within the family, I will deliver this wedding speech on behalf of the entire family.

First of all, please allow me to extend a warm welcome and sincere thanks to all the guests who have taken time out of their busy schedules to attend this event!

Just then, the neatly arranged smoke below the stage suddenly began to disperse, as if someone's clapping had stirred up the wind. Although she couldn't see or hear anything, Zhou Youning felt as if the empty stage was filled with a sea of ​​people, and that they were clapping.

Lu Huaijin continued:

On this occasion, on behalf of the family, I would like to offer a few points of hope for the future of the newlyweds.

First, strengthen the sense of responsibility and solidify the foundation of marriage. Marriage is not...

Second, we must adhere to a pragmatic and enterprising approach, promote the sustainable development of families, and...

Third, strengthen unity and cooperation...

Zhou Youning, who was initially nervous, became increasingly uneasy as she listened. She forced herself to listen to the first two points, and just as Lu Huaijin was about to elaborate on the third, she quickly pushed him aside and interjected, "Cooperation...cooperation and mutual benefit are essential for a more harmonious and happy family. Now, on behalf of everyone who is not present, I wish my brother and sister-in-law a successful marriage, a long and happy life together, and a blessed family!"

After saying that, Zhou Youning quickly pulled Lu Huaijin to bow and then tried to drag him away.

Zhou Youning was speechless. Lu Huaijin had been holding too many meetings lately. Why was his speech at the wedding always like this? She was afraid that if Lu Huaijin continued, he would start setting KPIs for the ghosts.

Lu Huaijin glanced at Zhou Youning, who looked helpless and was about to pull him off the stage, and turned slightly to the microphone to say, "Now, please welcome the newcomers."

After he finished speaking, the door opened, and Xia Wange and Lu Qiu slowly walked in.

Lu Qiu's steps were steady, each step carrying great power.

Those who know him well can tell that although he appears calm, he has actually been gone for a while.
