Chapter 2504: Chapter 1577: Second Update (6,000 Words, Thank You All for Your Monthly Tickets)

"Zhongquan, what are you thinking about? Drink up!"

The wedding ceremony proceeded quickly, taking only about ten minutes in total.

It’s often said that aside from the bride, no one really cares about the wedding ceremony. While that’s a bit of an exaggeration, guests definitely prefer it to be as "efficient" as possible.

Everyone was satisfied with today’s wedding.

It seems young people these days are becoming more and more pragmatic.

Holding the wedding banquet at Siram costs about two thousand per table, and you could even see rare dishes like abalone sashimi; everyone else was eating with gusto, but Zhang Zhongquan tasted nothing, his expression looked constipated, and he ignored others’ calls.

Seeing this, people didn’t bother with him anymore and turned to persuade others to drink instead.

It wasn’t intentional disregard; his mind was simply buzzing, and not just his — his wife Mai Encui was the same. The couple seemed bewitched, lost in a daze, not knowing what to think.

"Thanks."

It wasn’t until the newlyweds came to toast at each table as per tradition that the couple snapped out of it and stood with the others.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"What’s the groom’s name?"

After sitting down, Mai Encui finally couldn’t hold back the storm inside her anymore.

Zhang Zhongquan was out of sorts, silent.

"I’m asking you a question!"

"You heard it yourself!"

Overcome by emotion, Zhang Zhongquan raised his voice, but all the attendees were familiar, and familiar people knew their way of getting along, at most casting a glance, paying no heed.

"Was that Jiang Chen?"

At that moment, Mai Encui felt incredibly conflicted, disbelieving, unwilling to accept yet longing for a confirmation.

Zhang Zhongquan took a gulp of baijiu, breathing heavily, "Who knows which Chen it is? Maybe it’s the ’cheng’ in ’city wall’?"

"’City wall’s cheng’ has a nasal vowel!"

A bit of dark humor.

But neither of them could laugh.

"You are such an idiot!"

Mai Encui couldn’t help but curse.

One person can mishear, but could two people simultaneously mishear?

Same name and surname?

This isn’t a movie.

The world isn’t such an absurd coincidence.

Even if it does feel like a movie.

"What does it have to do with me?! It’s the Fang Family! They’re all acting! Including Jiang Huazi!"

Zhang Zhongquan gritted his teeth.

Understood.

He finally understood everything.

He wondered why the Fang family’s daughter suddenly had a boyfriend and also brought him to Jiang Huazi’s house for dinner.

The mockery from relatives made the veins bulge on the back of his hand.

"You’re such a loser!"

At this moment, Mai Encui couldn’t care less about any "honeymoon phase," tearing off the painstakingly worn mask.

"They deceived you, and you didn’t notice at all? You couldn’t even recognize your own nephew, who can you blame?!"

Resonated strongly.

The Fang Family and Jiang Family truly orchestrated a good show, but why could it succeed?

Wasn’t it because this cousin didn’t even recognize his own nephew.

Telling it out loud would be the ultimate joke!

Mai Encui’s straightforward words stabbed sharply like a dagger, making Zhang Zhongquan’s face burn with shame, and he was angry and embarrassed.

"Aren’t you the same? Did you recognize him?!"

"Why wouldn’t I recognize him? I said I felt I’d seen him somewhere!"

Once the truth came out, Mai Encui finally realized belatedly.

Some customers return a year or so later, and she would remember them.

The only problem is she had too little interaction with the Jiang Family; after the cousins died, contact almost ceased entirely.

"At least I had a sense of familiarity, and you? You call yourself an uncle!"

"What right do you have to scold me? Weren’t you the one who thought their family was poor and afraid they’d borrow money, which is why you didn’t let me stay in touch? Oh, now that they’re doing well, you turn around and blame me. Act like a whore and want a monument too!"

"Zhang Zhongquan. What did you say?! Wanna try saying that again?!"

Mai Encui’s eyebrows shot up, with eyes like arched copper bells, she looked like a fearsome creature. Her menacing look triggered fear in Zhang Zhongquan’s heart, even though he was still agitated, he kept silent.

"Oh, now you’re placing all the blame on me? If I despised their family, didn’t you as well? Was I the one who stopped you from staying in touch? Did I tie up your hands or bind your feet? Zhang Zhongquan, do you have any shame? Who is the hypocrite here?"

Cordial and respectful couples are indeed rare.

Mai Encui spit flew, unconcerned about a man’s dignity, leaving her husband utterly defenseless.

"Enough! What’s the point in arguing about this now!"

Mai Encui felt unsatisfied, "Marrying a man like you, I must be blind!"

Zhang Zhongquan said nothing further, as usual, he submitted first.

Though Mai Encui was still angry, she didn’t continue insulting him.

After all, this was at someone else’s wedding.

Eating, of course, was out of the question.

After a brief lull, Mai Encui took a deep breath and said, "How could your nephew become so capable?"

"How would I know?"

Zhang Zhongquan dared not provoke the tigress, holding his cup, he drank alone, the astonishment in his heart burning harsher than the drink, making him cough incessantly.

Nothing else to say.

A Koenigsegg that costs over a hundred million was enough to shatter his worldview.

That kid was both parents dead, even needed to borrow money for college.

Was he the indifferent one?

Who the hell could’ve guessed?!

Thinking of something, Mai Encui unconsciously clenched her jaw again, slowly grinding like sharpening a knife.

"Jiang Chen is so impressive now, for him, a house is nothing! No wonder the Fang Family urged you not to reconcile with Green Land, but to keep fighting the lawsuit."

And now.
