Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 1002 - 594: A Tiger-and-Wolf Metaphor—The Wartime Wedding Procession (Second Update)
During this time, Jiang Jinsang also briefly explained the situation to Jiang Yanting and Jiang Shiyi.
"She broke your record, just break it again later, why get so upset?" Jiang Yanting, always calm, didn’t play racing games, so he didn’t understand the feeling of having one’s record broken.
Unable to empathize.
Jiang Shiyi sneered lightly, "The main thing is, having your record broken and not knowing who did it."
"Even if you know, what can you do? Does it matter?" Jiang Yanting felt that as long as he was strong enough, who your opponent was, their surname and name were irrelevant.
"Chengsi is not like you." Jiang Shiyi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "His current feeling should be..."
"Like being slept with and not knowing who slept with you."
Jiang Chengsi was already furious, and hearing Jiang Shiyi’s analogy almost made him explode:
What kind of crazy analogy is this?
At this moment, as a brother, instead of comforting him, he rubbed salt into his wound.
Jiang Yanting heard this and nodded seriously, "So that’s how it feels, that is indeed serious."
"..."
While they were talking, someone knocked on the door saying the Huo Family was ready to set off and asked them to prepare as well.
**
The Shen Family elders’ house was not very big, located in a residential area, and they were concerned about affecting other residents, so they didn’t set many thresholds.
At the gate, some distant aunts and uncles and a group of children blocked the way. Jiang Family brothers didn’t plan to go out, so they retreated to the bride’s door.
Jiangjiang, leading Taotao, had already set up small stools at the door waiting.
The two of them had experienced several weddings and naturally knew there would be candies and money if they blocked the way.
Lately, Huo Qinqi was very good to them, meeting all their requests generously, so both felt they would get a lot of red envelopes this time.
Huo Qinqi prepared and informed Shen Shuci, who was sitting in front of a mirror, with a makeup artist helping with her hair. Being pregnant made makeup unsuitable, so her full attire wasn’t too troublesome.
The Shen Family elders also woke up before dawn, busy with unknown tasks. Shen Shuci was originally calm, but they made her inexplicably nervous.
The photographer was still shooting and recording nearby. She already wasn’t good at facing the camera, becoming more apprehensive.
Her phone vibrated again, with a message from Huo Qinqi reminding her not to fast and to eat something.
[I’m a bit nervous.] Shen Shuci said directly.
[Don’t be afraid, wait for me.]
After sending the message, Huo Qinqi clenched his phone, silent, being someone with a cold demeanor, his face looked even harsher, scaring the wedding photographer.
He deliberately arranged with colleagues to follow the groom, simply due to his innate admiration and awe for the Huo Family.
Besides, today was a happy day; no matter how scary the rumors were about Mr. Huo, it wouldn’t be justified to give a cold face on the wedding day.
But reality slapped him hard.
From the beginning of filming, at least in his lens, the groom hadn’t smiled much. Occasionally, when his camera got too close, a cold glance from someone chilled him, causing him not to dare get closer.
"When we get to the Shen Family, be careful when speaking. You’re picking up the bride, don’t make it look like you’re leading troops in battle." Liang Yun repeatedly reminded him.
"I understand." Huo Qinqi squeezed out each word from between his teeth.
There was a hint of gritted teeth.
Liang Yun tidied his clothes, sensing his body tense, she smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don’t be nervous, relax."
"I’m not nervous!" Huo Qinqi wasn’t telling everyone that he hardly slept last night.
He repeatedly visualized the scene of picking up the bride in his mind and what Shen Shuci would look like in a red wedding dress, thinking and thinking until he couldn’t sleep at all.
He originally planned to go jogging around three o’clock to relieve his tense and irritated mood, and endured for a while until after four o’clock to pull Huo Ran up.
Liang Yun saw his stubbornness but didn’t expose it, "As long as you’re not nervous, that’s fine, then your dad and I will wait at home for you to bring back Shuci."
He nodded.
"Zeyan, we’ll be counting on you today." Liang Yun knew her son’s words could make people angry, so the task of appeasing people was entrusted to Qi Zeyan.
"Rest assured, with me around, there won’t be any problems." Qi Zeyan promised with a smile.
When it was time to set off, Qi Zeyan finally found out that Huo Ran was coming along too.
"Why bring him too?" Qi Zeyan recently didn’t find Huo Ran pleasing, since going along wouldn’t serve much purpose.
Can’t fight, not strong enough, can’t compete in intelligence, not smart enough, what’s the point of bringing him?
Huo Family brothers laughed:
"Didn’t expect him to do much, he’s just our family’s mascot, bringing him for good luck."
What the heck?
The Huo Family considered this boy a mascot?
No wonder their family had a bunch of oddballs.
Huo Ran didn’t know he was a "mascot," dressed in a dashing suit, following behind a group of elder brothers.
Walking the path of nonrecognition.
Qi Zeyan, sandwiched among a group of people, seemed somewhat out of place, whether in stature, temperament, or...
Hairstyle!
Almost everyone had crew cuts, except his shiny side-parted slicked hair.
He constantly felt that they didn’t look like they were fetching a bride, but instead challenging someone to a fight.
The main thing was the spacing between vehicles in the convoy, almost like a parade.
Qi Zeyan rode in the same car as Huo Qinqi, glancing from the corner of his eyes as someone beside him pulled out a walkie-talkie from his pocket.
After a rustle of noise, a voice came through: [Bro, car number 5 is waiting at a red light.]
[Received.]
After speaking, Huo Qinqi signaled the driver to adjust the speed...
Then commanded those behind through the walkie-talkie, [Don’t fall behind.]
It’s normal for a convoy to be dispersed by traffic on the road, but do you really need to make it look like wartime just to pick up a bride?
Even using walkie-talkies...
Only the Huo Family knows how to play.
Was it like going to war? Qi Zeyan really opened his eyes today.
The Huo Family could handle anything, he didn’t need to worry at all, he even felt that being a groomsman this time might be the easiest, just to freeload.
But he still underestimated the cunning of the Jiang Family brothers.
**
Liang Yun watched the convoy leave until the last vehicle disappeared from view, but she didn’t go inside.
"It’s cold outside, come in." Huo Zheng looked at his wife standing in the wind and frowned slightly, "It’s just fetching the bride, nothing to worry about, even if the Jiang Family brothers want to make it difficult for Qinqi, they won’t go too far."
"I know." Liang Yun smiled, "I just feel emotional, a lot has happened in this year, in the blink of an eye, our son is getting married."
Thinking of the past, Liang Yun couldn’t help but tear up, "We’ve owed Qinqi too much."
"As long as he is at the unit, we’ll take good care of Shuci and the child, as well as Shen Family elders."
Liang Yun nodded, "It’s my first time seeing him so nervous, I haven’t seen him like this even during selections in the team."
"Being nervous is normal, when I married you back then, the night before, I was very nervous too."
Even wanting to be low-key during their own celebration, the Huo Family inevitably gets reported by the media. Many viewers watch the picking up ceremony, whether taking photos on their phones, or some videos uploaded online.
After returning home, Liang Yun soon received teasing messages from friends.
They said their family was having a [military parade for fetching the bride].
