Chapter 276: Uninvited Guest
It is customary to have a dress rehearsal the day before the wedding. When the two newcomers arrived home with Mr. Han, who had returned to China again, they were completely shocked by what was happening in front of them.
A bunch of familiar foreign kids are playing in the pool, Judge George Cris, who is supposed to shovel horse manure on a Texas farm, Officer Philp who is supposed to be patrolling Montgomery, and Pastor Willis, who is supposed to save souls in the parish, sit under a sun umbrella and drink Coke.
Zhang Lin's graduate students Wang Shanshan, Liu Yuyan, and Wang Lei were discussing something with "Onion Baby" and Jiang, holding Wen JiΓ n and holding their mobile phones, looking very busy and focused.
Jiang Baowang and Xu Chuanxian, Jiang's parents, came and stood by the pool to greet the American guests. The living room was full of people, and you didn't need to ask to know that it was a close friend of the man and the woman who came to the rehearsal.
"Hi, Mr. Prosecutor." A little guy with sharp eyes swam to the pool to greet Han Jun.
"Little Billy, when did you get here?"
"It's been four days."
The little ones rushed over in unison, and one by one they laughed happily and gossipingly: "Sir, the new home is very beautiful." β
"Mr. Prosecutor, my dad asked me to bring you a bottle of red wine. Michelle is so cool, I want a Chinese dad too! β
β¦β¦
The situation is basically clear, Yaoyao wants to give them a holy wedding, but finds that the choir of Jiangcheng Church is really not very good, and it is unlikely to come to Xishan Villa to sing blessing songs, so she asks Montgomery's classmates and friends for help. American children have an early summer vacation than China, and they feel that coming to China to play is more interesting than attending a summer camp, so she called the pastor.
The biological father of a child in the community, who waited 14 years to reunite with his daughter before getting married, served as a prosecutor in Montgomery, donated money to the church, and served the community.
It was so touching that Pastor Willis couldn't refuse Yaoyao's plea and agreed to come to China to officiate at the wedding. But whether the choir can come or not depends on the consent of the children's parents.
The little one really wanted to come. pestering parents every day.
Considering that the person who is not looking for a stranger, Officer Philp is coming to China again in the near future as part of a police exchange program between China and the United States, and former Montgomery District Judge George Sr. is also coming. The parents agreed, and the family paid a few hundred dollars for round-trip airfare for the children, leaving the pastor and police officers solely responsible for their safety during the trip and in China.
In the past few days, in addition to going out to play, it is rehearsal, and even carefully prepared a popular Chinese song. The famous Jiang Province folk song "Jasmine". Zhang Lin knew very well how difficult this was, and was so moved that she almost cried.
Master Han didn't want to see Old George, and he was also not treated by Old George, so he nodded slightly with the three of them, and walked directly into the living room with Jiang Yi's support.
A friend came from afar, Han Jun had to be polite, hurriedly put down his suitcase, walked over and said sincerely: "Pastor, old George, Philp." Thank you. β
The priest smiled playfully at Zhang Lin and said meaningfully, "Michelle is not only your child, but also our child, and we should fulfill her little wish." β
Officer Philp smiled excitedly, "Man, this city is great, your police station is even better, and I'm honored to accept the invitation to come here and talk to your men." β
"China welcomes you, Jiangcheng welcomes you."
"I already felt the warmth of the Chinese, they were very hospitable. The past few days have been very pleasant. β
When he was in Montgomery, he often dealt with each other, and the relationship was very good, Han Jun patted his arm, nodded and smiled: "Then enjoy it." It's more important to look after the child. β
Old George didn't bother to be polite to him, but hugged Zhang Lin lightly, and said apologetically: "Professor, Morgan asked me to convey her apologies, she is dealing with a civil rights case, and she really can't get away." And worried that she would show up at the wedding. It will embarrass you, it will make you uncomfortable. β
"Mr. Judge, I don't know how to express my feelings at this moment. In conclusion, I thank you, thank you, pastors, and thank you all for doing a good job for us. β
As Zhang Lin spoke, she couldn't help but leave two lines of crystal clear tears.
Old George patted her on the back, looked at the living room and urged with a smile: "Child, go to the rehearsal, prepare carefully, and be the most beautiful bride in the world tomorrow." β
"Daddy, Lynn."
"Baby, you're amazing."
"Daddy, now is not the time to praise me."
Yaoyao said hello to the priest and the police officer, and pulled the two of them towards the living room, while introducing with a fluttering eyebrow: "Brian and Uncle Jack can't attend today's rehearsal, but I have already informed you in writing of the specific matters." We now have two best men, one is Uncle Zhu and the other is Mr. Professor; The bridesmaids are all there, Shaw, Erin, Aunt Tingting and Blanche. β
Zhang Lin asked in surprise, "Blanche is here?" β
"Uh-huh, I'm changing clothes upstairs."
Yaoyao glanced at the memo and then introduced: "We have more and more guests, including relatives and friends in Dad's hometown, officials from the state government and city police department, Dad's colleagues, old neighbors in the talent apartment and new neighbors here; Lin, there are also a lot of women here, there are your classmates and colleagues, your relatives and friends, and colleagues from Grandpa Zhang's Hospital. β
Zhu Junfeng greeted him and said with a wicked smile: "More than 400 people, it's very lively." β
Professor Qi was obviously honored to be the best man, wearing a proper tuxedo, and sighed with emotion: "Han Jun, Zhang Lin, Yaoyao is so capable, she actually helped you invite a choir from the United States." I listened to it during the morning rehearsal, and the sound of heaven is simply the most precious gift God has given you. β
Zhang Lin was so moved that she hugged Yaoyao tightly and choked up, "Baby, I really don't know how to thank you." β
"Don't be like this, in fact, this is the last day I'll call you Lin, I'm going to call you Mommy from tomorrow, we're a family, no need to say thank you."
"Yes, we're family."
A Chinese bridesmaid, a Chinese-American bridesmaid and two American bridesmaids walked down in costumes, Yaoyao hurriedly emphasized: "Xiao and Erin can change, Lin can't change, Dad can't see the wedding dress today, otherwise it will be ominous." In addition, I prepared three things, the veil was borrowed from Aunt Tingting, the necklace was given by the grandmother, the style was a little old, and the ginger was sent to the jewelry store to be reprocessed, and only the pendant was kept. It's going to be a good match. There's also a blue rhinestone headdress that you should definitely remember to wear when you put on your makeup tomorrow. β
A little old, a little new, a little borrowed. A little blue.
Needless to say, the old one means to have an old ornament brought at home, such as grandmother's earrings and mother's necklace, so that you can see things and think about people in the future; A little borrowing is to borrow the things of happy elders or friends and get some blessings; A little blue. It is because blue means "melancholy" in English, which is a kind of sentimentality.
She has taken into account all the traditional customs of the United States. Zhang Lin feels that she is the happiest bride in the world and the happiest mom in the world.
After greeting the groomsmen and bridesmaids, they walked out of the garden and into the grass by the grove.
I'm afraid that the exhibition company will have an accident, and I'm afraid that tomorrow the road will be blocked, and the tables, chairs and benches will not be delivered. Yaoyao had a luxury and rented it for two days.
More than 60 sets of crisp white tables and chairs are arranged in a semicircle, and the long tables on either side are supposed to be used for food and drinks.
It's just early summer. The weather is not too hot, the sun is not so hot, and there is no problem at all with holding it in the open air. And there is a hole in the middle of each table with a large sun umbrella. According to Yaoyao's introduction, flowers will be placed on the table tomorrow, and flowers are the biggest expense of the entire wedding in addition to catering.
American children of all sizes jumped out of the pool, changed into clean clothes, and stood in line under Yaoyao's greeting. Under the baton of an older kid, the song "IWasGlad" came first.
It is indeed very beautiful, and the sound is very clean, as if it comes from the song of an innocent angel in the sky. There is no embellishment, no artificiality, everything is natural, so pure and clear.
Han Jun and Zhang Lin suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and the companions and bridesmaids stood in their seats together. The children sang the wedding's first hymn, "The Great Savior Leads Me." Blanche stroked her daughter Anna's head and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Boss, professor, these are a few pieces from Prince William's wedding, like a song from heaven?" β
"The unforgettable sound of heaven is so beautiful."
The choir did not change their dresses. The little flower girls didn't change, the blessing song they just sang was not even accompanied, and there were only a few best friends and family at the scene, which was already so sacred and romantic.
After the rehearsal, Mama Zhang and Xu Chuanxian walked up to the two of them and said with emotion: "It was all prepared by Yaoyao, and we didn't ask anything." There are still three shows that didn't do today, and tomorrow will go ahead as planned, and it will definitely be very grand and romantic. β
Seeing Yaoyao laughing and playing with the American children, Han Jun felt sweet in his heart, bit his lip and said, "She feels very sorry and wants to repay in this way." In fact, I was even more sorry, and I didn't know how to repay her. β
Bai Xiaoqian was very envious of Zhang Lin for having such a romantic wedding, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "I didn't find a hotel for eating and drinking, please help make Chinese food from the botanical garden canteen, and the cake and dessert were booked in Maixiang Village, all arrangements were made, and they will be delivered on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow." β
"Okay, okay, it's all up to them."
"You can't stay together anymore if they arrange for you. Zhang Lin, come with us, go carnival, and have a drunk party tonight. β
The bridesmaids dragged Zhang Lin away and won't see each other until tomorrow's wedding. The guests at home were greeted by someone, Zhu Junfeng and Professor Qi acted as planned, and without changing their clothes, they stuffed Director Han into the car, planning to go to the Dongjiang Hotel to pour him a few glasses of wine no matter what.
At the same time, Jiang Huiru and Zhang Xiang were in an office of the Fourth Patrol Brigade, interrogating an uninvited guest who had just been brought here.
The director is going to get married tomorrow, and he can't let the forty-year-old returnee in front of him ruin the wedding.
Zhang Xiang coldly warned: "Guo Yinuo, you have studied in the United States, you have an identity and culture, you should know very well what to do and what not to do!" The security guard didn't let him in, and when he was stopped, he yelled downstairs. This is a public place, and it is full of high-level talents brought in from overseas by the province. According to the regulations on public security administrative punishments, I can detain you for up to 15 days and fine you 200 yuan. β
In the past year, Guo Yinuo has done a lot of things, quitting his job in the United States, becoming a "Thousand Scholars", and returning to China to teach like Zhang Lin. divorced his daughter-in-law, and only left after a few months of separation, he rushed to Jiangcheng to admit his mistake, trying to break the mirror and reunite, but heard the news that Zhang Lin was going to get married at the University of Science and Technology.
He couldn't let this qiΔ become a reality, thinking that Zhang Lin was still living in the talent apartment, and came to look for it early in the morning with roses in his hand.
Xiaoping is the owner of the property company, how can she let this "Chen Shimei" ruin her cousin's happiness, and resolutely refuse to let her in. He was in a hurry, and he actually made a fuss in front of everyone. There was trouble to find the police, so he was brought here and personally interrogated by the director and deputy director of the backlog investigation department of the newly established provincial public security department.
How about the police. Guo Yinuo didn't eat this, and said angrily: "I just want to see Zhang Lin and say a few words to Zhang Lin." β
The ins and outs of the matter, Xiaoping briefly introduced, Jiang Huiru looked down on this kind of person who abandoned his wife and children. said coldly: "The problem is that Zhang Lin doesn't want to see you, Guo Yinuo, you know what you do, I will build where you are going back and forth, don't make trouble for yourself." β
Guo Yinuo didn't know who he had provoked. He said confidently: "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing, I will explain my mistakes to her, and I will ask her for forgiveness, and you don't need to care." β
"We can't control this kind of thing, but we have to deal with the execution of public places. Guo Yinuo, listen clearly, if we make trouble like in the morning, we can only deal with it according to law. Everyone is equal before the law, and professors must be punished for violating the law. β
"Who are you scaring about? If you have the ability, don't let me go, if you have the ability, it will always be closed. β
He is also a scholar of 1,000 people, and he is a professor hired by a well-known university in China, and it is very far-fetched to bring him here for interrogation, and he really does not want to be detained.
It seems that it can only be strictly guarded, Jiang Huiru made up her mind, threw him down and walked out of the door: "Director Zhang, let the four teams send people to the police station, we will pay attention to ourselves, and put a few secret sentries outside." β
Zhang Xiang said worriedly: "The villa area will definitely not be able to enter." But he can make trouble outside. There will be so many people tomorrow, and it will be bad if there is a disturbance. β
"I'll give the commissioner a call and see what he has to say."
When he received the call, Han Jun was passing by the botanical garden, and his first reaction was not to let Zhang Lin know. I made an excuse with Zhu Junfeng and Professor Qi, and got out of the car to come over to meet my fiancΓ©e's "ex" first.
White and pure, wearing a pair of glasses, younger than his actual age, he looks a bit of a scholar.
Han Jun motioned for Jiang Huiru to go out, sat down in front of him and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu." Those who come are guests, but this is not a place to entertain guests, I have said hello to them, and I will let you go in a moment. β
"You are?"
"My surname is Han, and my name is Han Jun. If you can find it here, you must have heard of the name. β
I did hear of it, but I only knew that it was a second marriage and had children, and in the face of Director Han Da, who was younger and more chic than him, Guo Yinuo was completely stunned and didn't know how to speak.
"Zhang Lin told me about you, and he didn't hide it at all. I just didn't expect you to return to China and be here. β
The opponent was too strong, Guo Yinuo asked without confidence: "...... you What do you want to do? β
Han Jun shook his head and smiled: "It's not what I want, it's what you want." If you really want to see Zhang Lin, I can help you ask. If she doesn't want to see you, that's just a sorry word. β
"You're worried I'm going to ruin your wedding?"
"You're already ruining, but I'm convinced that our love can stand any test. If you insist on making trouble and insisting on ruining our wedding, it will make her very sad and embarrassed, and it will make her hate you even more and not want to see you. β
The implication is clear, if you really love someone, you should bless her, not hurt her.
Guo Yinuo realized that it was more difficult to reunite after breaking the mirror, but he didn't want to give up just like that, so he was silent for a while and asked, "Are you very familiar with the police?" β
"Not very cooked, very cooked. To be precise, I am also a police officer, and I am a police officer with a high rank and rank, and there are no more than 10 police officers in Quang Province with a higher rank than me. β
The deputy inspector is at the same level as the deputy director, and there are really few policemen at the department level in Quanjiang Province, and Director Han Da is not lying at all.
Guo Yinuo looked down on him instead, and snorted coldly with disdain: "How can there be such a young senior policeman? β
"If you don't believe it, forget it."
Han Jun didn't bother to entangle with him any longer, got up and said, "The guest list for the wedding has already been decided, and the food and drinks are prepared according to the number of people, so I'm sorry I can't invite you anymore." As a husband, as a husband who is a police officer, I can't let anyone hurt my wife anymore, and I hope you can consider these issues rationally. β
"Threat?"
"You can try."
Director Han Da is not untargeted, and resolutely does not allow others to hurt his fiancΓ©e again, as soon as he walked out of the fourth team of the special patrol police, he made more than a dozen phone calls in a row, and when he rushed to the Dongjiang Hotel with Zhu Junfeng and Professor Qi, there was feedback about Guo Yinuo's situation one by one.
