Chapter 11 Invitations and Rings
After discussing the date of the wedding, the news of the marriage between Luo and Su was announced to the public, along with the news, there was also a wedding invitation letter.
The media in Jincheng described this incident in various pages of newspapers and self-media. In almost a day, it spread to everyone, and everyone knew about it.
The Song family naturally knew about it.
Song Wenxing was annotating the crimson and gold-plated wedding invitation letter on the table with a gloomy expression.He opened it with one hand, and saw "Luo Yunshen" and "Su Qiao" written side by side on it, and found it extremely dazzling.
Probably to show sincerity, the names of the two people on the invitation letter were handwritten and then scanned and printed.Luo Yunshen's font style is hard and sharp, while Su Qiao is well-behaved, as if doing homework.
The contrast is so great, piled up in one place, but it looks very harmonious.
I don’t know if it’s the designer’s ingenuity. The abbreviations of the two names were also displayed. “Shen” and “Su” happened to be the same letter, so the two “S” overlapped together, and the four letters “LYSQ” became The shading covers the entire invitation letter.
As if the two of them were inseparable.
Song Wenxing pointed at the invitation letter with his fingertips, and let out a long, long breath.
He couldn't believe it was real.
how could be?Jiujiu is going to marry someone else?
When he was a child, he obviously followed behind him, smiling so cutely, doesn't he remember all this?
Song Wenxing fell silent, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.
A voice quickly came from the other end of the phone: "Hello?"
"Xiao Yu." Song Wenxing's tone was a little sullen. "I asked you to tell Jiujiu, did you tell him?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Su Yu's puzzled voice: "I said it. What's the matter?"
"Then..." Song Wenxing's voice was dry.He held the wedding invitation. "How could Jiujiu..."
"Why did you marry Luo Yunshen?" Su Yu said.
Song Wenxing: "..."
"The reason is very simple. The Luo family and the Song family..." Su Yu's tone was slightly sympathetic and understanding. "Jiujiu is so big, he has his own ideas."
Song Wenxing opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Su Yu paused, and said again: "How did you think about the matter I mentioned to you last time?"
Speaking of this topic, Song Wenxing's expression changed.He whispered: "What's the benefit of me helping you?"
"After I took over the Su family, I sold at least half of the property to the Song family at a price 30.00% lower than the market price." Su Yu said. "There is also the secret recipe of Su's sauce, I will find a way to get it."
Song Wenxing: "Okay. If this is the case, I will help you."
He agreed without hesitation, causing Su Yu to smile slightly.Afterwards, Su Yu said again: "There is one more condition."
Song Wenxing: "Tell me."
"To make sure you won't go back on your word," Su Yu said. "There should be a legal relationship between us as a guarantee."
"What?" Song Wenxing frowned. "what do you mean?"
Su Yu said bluntly: "We have to get married."
Song Wenxing: "..."
Song Wenxing said angrily, "Are you crazy? You are Jiujiu's brother!"
"Then tell me, apart from the marriage relationship, what else can guarantee that you will not go back on your word? Don't talk about signing a contract, can this kind of thing be written in black and white?" Su Yu said. "If you don't agree, then this matter can only end here."
There was a long silence on both ends of the phone, so long that Su Yu thought that Song Wenxing would not answer.
But in the end, Song Wenxing still said, "Okay."
Su Yu smiled in his heart.They really are the same kind of people, liking and loving are meaningless, what you hold in your hands is your own.As long as there is a greater good... what can't be given up?
"I still want to see Jiujiu." Song Wenxing said. "Talk to him... clearly."
Su Yu's goal has been achieved, and he doesn't want to cause trouble at this time.I had no choice but to hold back my displeasure, and said, "I will arrange it for you."
At the end of July, the Luo family and the Su family went to the hotel to taste dishes together.In addition, Luo Xingzhu was brought along to join in the fun.
There can be no mistakes in the arrangement of the wedding banquet, and the dishes for entertaining guests must be more cautious.Because the wedding banquet was held in the hotel run by Luo's family, the best materials were used, such as bird's nest abalone, matsutake and foie gras, etc. were set up on the whole table.
Not many people really like to eat these things, but if they are not available at the wedding banquet, it seems neglectful.
Su Guoan thought it was pretty good, so he picked up the fish maw in milk soup in front of him first.
Inside the white porcelain cup, the soup presents an attractive yellowish color, and the fish maw is snow-white.A goji berry floating on the surface of the soup is particularly conspicuous.Su Guoan drank the soup first, and the rich and mellow salty taste swirled on the tip of his tongue. When he swallowed it, he was very satisfied, and he nodded with satisfaction.
The chef's craftsmanship is commendable. The goose palm in abalone sauce and sea cucumber with green onion are all cooked well.
Su Guoan was still savoring the fish maw in milk soup, when he heard Su's mother beside him say, "This scallop custard tastes ordinary, why don't you change it?"
Mother Luo also went to taste it after hearing the words, and then she was surprised: "Really. If I didn't tell you, I wouldn't be able to taste the steamed scallops. It's a bit fishy after cooling, and it tastes no different from ordinary custard."
Everyone at the table went to taste the custard, and Su Qiao also scooped up a little.
I don't know if the soaking time is not enough, the chopped scallops are still a little hard, and the fishy smell has not been completely removed.Putting it on the custard and steaming it in this way will not make it taste better except adding unnecessary fishy smell and price to the dish.
The chef is good at making seafood with strong flavors supplemented by other ingredients. This kind of dishes that only rely on the original taste to win are helpless.
Everyone agreed to replace the scallop custard, but there was no consensus on what to choose.
Su Mu and Luo Mu wanted to change to seafood porridge.
Su's father said, "What's so delicious about seafood porridge, why don't we replace it with dry roasted squab."
Su's mother looked at him: "Then you don't eat."
Father Su stopped talking immediately, and everyone at the table laughed.Immediately, Mother Su worried again: "That's right, seafood porridge doesn't taste good when it's cold."
Luo Xingzhu picked up a chopstick to roast the goose, and then said: "Then can I replace it with ham and steam the chicken? Chirp——Su Qiao's cooking is very delicious."
Su Guoan recalled the surprising delicacy of steamed chicken with ham, and nodded: "This is good."
Mother Su also clapped her hands, agreeing very much.
The couple of the Luo family hadn't tasted the dishes made by Su Qiao, so they were a little surprised.But Luo Xingzhu has always been able to eat, even he praised it vigorously, thinking that the taste would not be bad, so he readily agreed.
"I just want to trouble Jiujiu to explain to the chef how to do it," Luo's mother said. "Otherwise, Jiujiu can't be allowed to go to the kitchen in person on the wedding day, right?"
Su Qiao immediately put down her chopsticks and said, "It's not difficult to make this dish, as long as you can control the heat and time well. I'll write down the recipe, so there shouldn't be any problem."
……
On the way, Su Yu went out on business, and a few minutes later, Su Qiao's cell phone received a message.
[Su Yu: Chirp, can you come out for a while? 】
Since Su Qiao was reborn, she has a natural vigilance towards Su Yu.At this moment, I glanced at my phone, as if nothing had happened, and ignored it.
But Su Yu did not give up, and sent several more messages every few minutes.
Su Qiao's phone screen lit up after a while, and Su's mother sitting on his right noticed it and asked casually, "Jiujiu, is someone looking for you?"
No. "Su Qiao's ears were red, and she lied in a false tone. "...It's a spam message. "
Mother Su didn't see the content clearly, so she nodded and believed it.
A few seconds later, Su Yu called.
Now we can't ignore it. At present, they still maintain a superficial brotherly relationship. It is impossible for Su Qiao to ignore him all at once. This will only make him appear self-willed. If he hints something in front of his parents later, it will only be regarded as immature.
He had to pick it up.
"Jiujiu." Su Yu said on the other end of the phone. "Come out, I have something to tell you."
Su Qiao said: "What can I say on the phone?"
Su Yu was vague and said, "It's not convenient. You'll know when you come out, okay?"
Su Qiao: "Not good."
"Jiujiu?" Su Yu asked suspiciously. "What's the matter, are you angry with your brother?"
Su Qiao circled the tablecloth with her fingers, reluctantly said: "No."
"Then why didn't you agree to come out and talk to brother?" Su Yu asked.
Su Qiao: "..."
Su Qiao thought about it, she couldn't turn against Su Yu yet, so she hung up the phone and said hello to others: "I'm going to the bathroom."
After leaving the room, Su Yu was waiting for him at the end of the corridor.
Su Qiao walked over slowly and said, "What's the matter?"
Su Yu took him a few steps forward, and when he reached the corner, he said, "Song Wenxing."
When Su Qiao heard the name suddenly, she frowned slightly.Immediately, he saw Song Wenxing coming out from behind, staring straight at him with an inexplicable expression.
With a gentle smile on Su Yu's face, he said, "There is no one here, you can chat slowly."
After he finished speaking, he left first, leaving only Su Qiao and Song Wenxing behind.
Su Qiao took a step back subconsciously.He remembered being entangled by Song Wenxing at the dinner last time, and recalled that the two people's collusion had caused so much harm to the Su family in his previous life, so he immediately showed disgust and turned his head to leave.
Song Wenxing grabbed his arm, "Jiujiu, listen to me."
Su Qiao shook off him and said angrily, "I don't know why."
Song Wenxing was afraid that he would really leave, so he hurriedly said: "I like you—Jiujiu, I have always liked you very much!"
Su Qiao's eyes widened, and she stayed where she was: "...what?"
He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
This is nothing short of the biggest joke in the world.After what happened in the previous life, he heard Song Wenxing's confession that he liked him.
Su Qiao was stunned, she simply couldn't believe it, he felt that Song Wenxing's whole person revealed a little absurdity, like a psychopath.
If you like someone, will you hide it from the other person and use tricks to ruin his family?Like a person will be with the other's brother and get married?If you like someone, you will let the other person be locked up in your villa without seeing the light of day for nearly two years?
Su Qiao wouldn't believe a word. If Song Wenxing's confession was true, it would only make him more disgusted.
Song Wenxing stared at him expectantly, seeing the astonishment flashing across Su Qiao's face, he instantly understood.
"Xiaoyu didn't tell you anything." Song Wenxing was a little angry. "I asked him to convey that I like you, but you don't even know, do you?"
Su Qiao: "..." He thought to himself, this is probably the only thing Su Yu did right, otherwise it would be even more disgusting.
"That's why you agreed to marry Luo Yunshen?" Song Wenxing said.
Su Qiao couldn't understand the causal relationship before and after.Marrying Mr. Luo is a joint decision of the two families. What's the matter with Song Wenxing?
He didn't want to have a third person's name between himself and Mr. Luo at all.
Song Wenxing seemed to understand something suddenly, and said solemnly: "Jiujiu, it's still too late, you can talk to the Luo family, don't marry Luo Yunshen. Since you like me too..."
After listening to his nonsense for a long time, it is even more outrageous here.Su Qiao finally couldn't help it, glared at Song Wenxing, and said angrily, "Is there something wrong with your head?"
Song Wenxing: "..."
"I married Mr. Luo because I wanted to. I don't like you either." Su Qiao said. "If I have to say who I like, I will try my best to develop a relationship with Mr. Luo. All of this has nothing to do with you, and I have almost no impression of you. Do you understand?"
Song Wenxing couldn't believe it. He let go of his hand and said in a daze, "You really... don't like me? Then when I was a child..."
Su Qiao opened her eyes wide and couldn't understand: "Who would remember all the things when I was young, so my life is only those few years? Besides, why do I have to like you when I knew you when I was young and grew up?"
Su Qiao remembers scattered fragments of his childhood. He was only three or five years old at that time, and he could play with many children of the same age, and his face was secretly touched every day.Song Wenxing brought up the incident in the kindergarten, which made people feel very ridiculous.
"But you will reply to my email." Song Wenxing said. "You said you liked me."
Su Qiao: "..."
Answering emails doesn't sound like a kindergarten thing.Su Qiao is sure that she has not received any emails, nor has she responded with a single word.It is self-evident who did this.
Obviously, Song Wenxing was deceived.
Su Qiao couldn't help being a little surprised: it turned out that there were so many things in the previous life that he hadn't discovered.
But he didn't feel sympathy for Song Wenxing from this.When he thought of his parents jumping off the building in despair in his previous life and being trapped in the Song family villa, he eagerly wanted to see the two torture each other.
So Su Qiao boldly and mysteriously said: "Then you have to check it out. Maybe Su Yu knows something?"
……
With a little viciousness, Su Qiao felt a little happy, and when she returned to the banquet hall with a bright smile on her face, she nodded to Luo Yunshen while sitting down.
However, Luo Yunshen seemed to be in a bad mood, so he stared at him for two seconds without any response, and just looked away.
A few days later, Su Qiao received the news and went with Luo Yunshen to try on the custom-made wedding ring.
Only then did Su Qiao realize that Luo Yunshen hadn't sent him any messages during this period of time.
Since they decided to get married, there were many things to discuss, so either Luo Yunshen sent messages to Su Qiao, or Su Qiao sent messages to Luo Yunshen, basically never stopped.
But in the past ten days, Su Qiao always took the initiative to send messages to Luo Yunshen, as if a lot of the issues that needed to be discussed before evaporated, and only half of them remained.
Su Qiao was a little puzzled, and then thought: Maybe Mr. Luo is too busy.
He got in the car and put on his seat belt.After thinking for a while, he looked for a topic and said, "Mr. Luo, if the ring doesn't fit, will the wedding be postponed?"
Luo Yun took a deep look at him, his face was stern, and the storm seemed to be suppressed in his eyes.
Su Qiao had never seen him look like this before, she was a little scared, and shrank her shoulders subconsciously: "Mr. Luo?"
Luo Yunshen turned his head to look ahead, and said in a stiff tone, "No."
Su Qiao: "Oh." The atmosphere was so strange that he couldn't ask any more questions.
When they arrived at the custom-made wedding ring store, the two got out of the car.Because they are the partners of the Luo family subsidiary, they have been greeted in advance, and only the two of them are accepted in the store at this time.
There are two simple rings lying on the black flannel, which are exactly the same as the previous design, simple and elegant.The silver ring has clean and neat lines. L and S deformed decorative patterns surround a circle, which looks unique and beautiful.
The store manager explained the design concept with a polite smile, and then asked them to try it on.
Su Qiao's ring was smaller, and he stretched out his hand to compare it. He thought it was not bad, so he picked up the ring and put it on his ring finger.
The silver ring was just stuck at the root of the finger, and Su Qiao's fingertips were facing the ground, but they did not slip off.
The store manager praised: "It looks good and fits well."
Su Qiao smiled embarrassedly, turned her head and said, "Mr. Luo, you should try it too."
Luo Yunshen also picked up the ring, and the metal ring reflected a cold light.
The ring fits just as well.In fact, the size provided at the beginning is already very accurate, and the try-on is just to ensure nothing goes wrong.
The store manager brought the ring box, put the two silver rings together, tied a pink bow on the gift bag, and handed it to them with a smile: "Happy newlyweds, both of you."
Su Qiao grew up to be 20 years old, and has received birthday blessings and education blessings, but has not yet received wedding blessings.He blushed involuntarily, and said, "Not married yet... Thank you, thank you."
Luo Yunshen carried the gift bag, and the two walked out together.The moment he stepped out of the store, Luo Yunshen suddenly said: "Su Qiao, have you made up your mind? Are you really going to marry me?"
After hearing these words clearly, Su Qiao was stunned, and said blankly, "What?"
Luo Yun looked down at him with a cold expression, and there was an emotion in his deep eyes that made him feel heavy: "Are you really sure, you want to marry me?"
Su Qiao didn't understand, what did this sentence mean?
Isn't marriage a negotiated thing?They even bought the ring, the wedding banquet was also negotiated, there are carpets, hanging chairs, and, there is a big rabbit——
Why did Mr. Luo suddenly ask such a question?
Is he repenting?
Su Qiao felt uncomfortable for a while, he looked at Luo Yunshen quietly, within a few seconds, his eyes gradually turned red.
Luo Yunshen: "..."
Luo Yunshen really didn't expect it, he just asked a question, why did he have red eyes?Moreover, isn't this what Su Qiao wants?
But seeing how pitifully Su Qiao's eyes and nose were flushed, he had no choice but to ask again, "Let's talk in the car."
When the two got into the car, Su Qiao immediately asked aggrievedly: "Mr. Luo, do you regret agreeing to get married?"
