Chapter 515: The Wedding (1)
As if he hadn't heard Li Xin's words, Chen Hai turned a blind eye to the candy, melon seeds and cigarettes handed over by the best man and bridesmaids, he stared at Xia Xiaona who was standing next to Li Xin and said, "Where do my younger brothers and sisters work? Why have I never seen you, Li Xin and I are iron buddies in the same class in college." ”
Xia Xiaona smiled slightly: "Li Xin and I are colleagues in the same unit. ”
Chen Hai made a sudden realization: "Oh. ”
Li Xin knew that Chen Hai had begun to deliberately find fault now, so he took over and said, "What brother and sister, you should call it sister-in-law." ”
Chen Hai frowned and pretended to be stunned and asked, "This can't be messy, who is the eldest of us?"
Li Xin said: "Of course it's me, why don't you take your ID card out?"
Chen Hai saw that he couldn't get over, so he instantly changed his smiling face, pointed at Li Xin with his finger and said, "You kid can't change this temper in this life, so why are you more serious?"
Li Xin smiled: "This is a matter of principle, and it will be difficult to change your words after making a mistake." ”
Chen Hai took out a red envelope from his suit pocket and stuffed it into Li Xin's hand, and then quietly leaned into Li Xin's ear and said, "There is progress, not bad!"
Li Xin couldn't figure out what he meant, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Hai said quietly: "I mean, this one is more beautiful than the original one, you kid is really a blessing." ”
Li Xin was worried that Chen Hai's words would be heard by Xia Xiaona, so she hurriedly greeted him and said, "Several alumni of the university have already gone up, you should also hurry up, you must have a few more drinks today." ”
Chen Hai said: "What's the hurry? The bride should also light a cigarette for the guests, right?"
When Xia Xiaona heard this, she quickly took a cigarette from the tray held by the bridesmaid Yu Hong and handed it to Chen Hai: "I'm sorry, I'm slacking." I didn't ask for it just now, and I thought you didn't smoke. ”
Chen Hai's wife saw that Chen Hai had been standing in front of Li Xin and Xia Xiaona to talk to them, and many relatives and friends who came later couldn't talk to Li Xin, and were waiting for Chen Hai to finish talking to Li Xin before coming to greet Li Xin, so she quickly tugged at her husband's sleeve and signaled that he should go.
But Chen Hai ignored this, he took the cigarette handed over by Xia Xiaona and put it in his mouth, Xia Xiaona saw this and quickly turned on the lighter in his hand and leaned over to light a cigarette for Chen Hai.
Chen Hai lowered his head and put the cigarette in front of the lighter, and before the cigarette butt touched the flame, he secretly blew a breath and wanted to blow out the flame.
What he didn't expect was that his breath didn't have any effect on the flames coming out of the lighter, and the red flames were still bubbling out.
Only then did Chen Hai realize that the lighter in Xia Xiaona's hand was a brand-name windproof lighter. The flame that bubbled out with the sound of the wind was as strong as the blowtorch of an electric welding gun, not to mention that it was impossible to blow it out with the breath that he was blowing secretly, even if he blew it blatantly, he might not be able to blow out the fire.
Only then did Chen Hai realize that Li Xin had already made preparations, so as to prevent his intention to tease Li Xin's bride.
Chen Hai, who was a little angry, blew again, he had a lot less to cover up this time, and even Xia Xiaona obviously felt his somewhat abnormal behavior.
But Chen Hai's actions this time still had no effect, so he had no choice but to dispel his idea of wanting to tease Xia Xiaona, put the cigarette butt on the flame that could not be extinguished, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then raised his head and nodded meaningfully to Li Xin, saying, "Yes, let's see!"
Chen Hai's actions were all seen by Li Xin, and he laughed: "Old Chen, eat and drink well." ”
After Chen Hai's family walked into the hall, Xia Xiaona asked, "Why is your classmate's behavior a little weird, what did you just say? ”
Li Xin said: "Old classmates, they are very familiar with each other, he is so chattering today, even I can't guess what he is talking about." ”
"Do you have any festivals?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"I think he seems to have an opinion about you. ”
Li Xin smiled slightly: "Maybe, I used to joke about him a lot." ”
Xia Xiaona said: "Your mouth is unforgiving, and you have to change this problem in the future." ”
"Is there one?"
"Of course. ”
"Okay, I'll pay attention to it later. ”
Just as the two were talking quietly, Wu Bin, the former chairman of the sugar company, walked over.
When Li Xin and Xia Xiaona saw Wu Bin coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Welcome, Mr. Wu!"
Wu Bin handed the red envelope in his hand to Li Xin, and said with a smile: "You two are the golden boys and girls of our sugar company, and I must come to your wedding." ”
Li Xin said: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Wu!"
If there is anyone else who deserves Li Xin's respect as the leader of the original sugar company, it is Wu Bin, who has always regarded him as an elder worthy of respect. Although the original sugar company was decayed in the hands of Wu Bin, and Wu Bin bears a lot of responsibility, in Li Xin's view, as the leader of the company, Wu Bin is still quite upright. As a company manager, Wu Bin may not be very competent, but as a colleague, leader and elder, there are certain qualities in him that the domineering Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing and others do not have.
Wu Bin said to Li Xin: "I heard that you have done a pretty good job of investing yourself, and you are really a material that can be made, I didn't mistake you." ”
Li Xin said: "This is not worth mentioning, I have nothing to do." ”
Wu Bin said with deep feelings: "Yes, everyone has things that they can't control, but it's rare that you can not follow the crowd, and the most important thing is to persevere, and to be able to control your own destiny." ”
"Thank you Mr. Wu for your teachings. ”
Wu Bin laughed, patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I can't talk about any teachings, if you are old, it would be good if someone could listen to it." You two have time to come and sit at home. ”
Li Xin hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay"
Wu Bin beckoned to Li Xin and Xia Xiaona and said, "Then I'll go up first, on what floor?"
Li Xin said: "Chinese restaurant on the 6th floor. After speaking, he hurriedly said to Yu Hong, the bridesmaid next to Xia Xiaona: "You take Mr. Wu up for a while, and arrange Mr. Wu at my parents' table." ”
Yu Hong said, "Okay. She handed the plate of cigarettes and candy in her hand to a girl next to her, and then made a gesture of invitation to Wu Bin: "Mr. Wu, please." ”
Wu Bin recognized Yu Hong at this time: "It's you, Xiao Yu, you are dressed so beautifully, I don't even recognize you." Are you going to be a bridesmaid for Xia Xiaona?"
"Hmm. ”
"Xia Xiaona is married, what about you, do you have a boyfriend?"
Yu Hong blushed and said, "Not yet." ”
"You little girls are too picky, you have to hurry, I remember you're about the same age as Xia Xiaona, right?"
"How can there be, Mr. Wu, I am 4 years younger than Xia Xiaona. ”
"Really? Then it's time to get a boyfriend and get married. ”
As soon as Wu Bin left, Li Xin heard a very familiar voice next to him say, "Li Xin, congratulations!"
Li Xin turned around and saw that Yuan Jie was already standing in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately pretended to be casual and said, "It's Vice President Yuan, welcome." Then, he introduced Xia Xiaona next to him: "This is Vice President Yuan of the futures company. ”
Xia Xiaona said: "Vice President Yuan, welcome, please go upstairs and sit." ”
Yuan Jie didn't look at Xia Xiaona either, and handed a thick red envelope in his hand to Li Xin: "I'm a person who has arrived!"
Li Xin was very surprised by Yuan Jie's uninvited, he couldn't figure out what the purpose of Yuan Jie's trip was, because he was worried that Xia Xiaona would see through his unusual relationship with Yuan Jie, so although he was very uneasy in his heart, he didn't dare to reveal it at all on the surface.
Fortunately, Yuan Jie had a smile on his face that he tried to pretend to be, and the red envelope she handed over, which made Li Xin secretly relieved. He said, "You're so polite, please go upstairs and sit down." ”
Yuan Jie didn't say much, turned around and went to the Chinese restaurant on the 6th floor.
In fact, Yuan Jie secretly watched Li Xin and Xia Xiaona through the window in the car just now for more than 10 minutes, and just now she was also struggling with whether to meet Li Xin or whether to go to the wedding site to attend the wedding. In a dilemma, she even secretly regretted that she shouldn't have come.
But she came and went, and she didn't show up and left in disgrace, which she couldn't explain to herself. In addition, from a distance of dozens of meters, not far away, who was the bride next to Li Xin? She really wanted to go over and see it in person.
In the end, the jealous nature of women still drove her to Li Xin and Xia Xiaona. While Li Xin and Wu Bin were talking, she carefully looked at the bride Xia Xiaona on the side.
Even from a woman's point of view, Yuan Jie has to admit that Xia Xiaona, who is wearing a white wedding dress, is really beautiful.
This gave Yuan Jie's self-confidence a kind of blow. As an uninvited guest, she came to Li Xin's wedding, which originally had a sense of demonstration and challenge, and for this reason, she deliberately dressed herself up sexy and generous today, perfectly showing her special charm as a mature woman.
If it weren't for Xia Xiaona's purity and beauty, Yuan Jie would almost become the most eye-catching focus of the wedding scene.
But when he came to Xia Xiaona, the self-aware Yuan Jie immediately understood where he had lost. So when talking to Li Xin, she didn't dare to look at Xia Xiaona, simply said hello to Li Xin, handed over the red envelope to Li Xin, and left quickly.
After Yuan Jie entered the banquet hall, he found a place to sit down. The table she sat at were all relatives of Li Xin's family, and she sat stupidly on the side and couldn't say anything except Li Xin, who didn't know anyone. Watching others talk and laugh, now she began to regret that she should have turned around and left after greeting Li Xin and giving her red envelopes, and she should not have entered this occasion to bring humiliation on herself.
Thinking that Li Xin was accompanied by a beautiful woman at the door of the hall just now, with a happy smile on his face, Yuan Jie's heart was as uncomfortable as a pinprick. She wanted to get up and walk away.
