Rebirth to Save Myself

Chapter 137 Wedding (1)

Next was Zhou Zhou, who tried all sorts of tricks, but managed to get four arrows out of the five he had intended to shoot. Then, with a sudden movement, he knocked one of the arrows, which was already teetering on the ground, to the ground! He clutched his head, staring at the fallen arrow, and wailed, "I don't care, Xu Lai, you have to stay with me!"

Xu Lai glanced at him sideways, then focused on throwing arrows, averaging one in two shots. Zhou Zhou couldn't sit still any longer and stepped forward to interfere. He tickled her, threatened her, and pleaded, until Xu Lai finally passed with five arrows, barely making it into the hole.

Lin Zhe, needless to say, ended the battle with nine arrows.

In the end, only Zhou Zhou was left. She took off her shoes, put on her pink tulle dress, and wailed as she stepped onto the acupressure mat. Then she started howling uncontrollably: "Ouch, oh, ah, oh oh oh, help, how many more times?"

"Halfway there, don't try to slip through the cracks!" Ye Zhenzhen's ruthless words rang out, and then she added loudly, "Six, seven, eight, this movement is not standard, you pass. Nine, ten, finished."

Lin Zhe successfully obtained the second key. There were still two keys left before he could get the wedding shoes. He looked at Ye Zhenzhen expectantly, hoping she would tell him the content and rules of the third game.

"The third game is to use chopsticks to pick out all the red beans from the soybeans within a set time and arrange them into a specific shape!" Ye Zhenzhen said, taking out a photo with the word "love" on it.

"How do you know these beans can be successfully assembled?" Zhou Zhou retorted, trying to be argumentative.

"Don't worry, we tested it last night." Su Xia took out a photo of the pattern that the group had pieced together last night, which immediately shut Zhou Zhou up.

"How long will it take?" Xu Lai asked the most crucial question.

“We timed it yesterday. The four of us together took five minutes. You guys should also take five minutes.” Lu Lu took out a timer and smiled at them.

Su Xia handed each person a pair of chopsticks, and then Ye Zhenzhen presented them with soybeans mixed with red beans.

"ready, go!"

Lin Zhe said to the three people, "Zhou Zhou, Chen Lin, and I are in charge of picking up the beans, and Xu Lai, you are in charge of arranging them. Be quick!"

"it is good."

The three of them were crammed together trying to pick up red beans. Ye Zhenzhen thoughtfully placed a photo next to them, and Xu Lai was also clever, simply placing the red beans they had picked up on top of the photo.

This significantly increased the speed and eliminated any worries about incorrect letters. Under Lin Zhe's guidance, the four of them successfully completed the task within five minutes and obtained the third key.

"Hurry up, what's the fourth game?" Zhou Zhou, that lively character, couldn't wait and asked immediately.

"That's all." Su Xia shook her head.

"That's it? We're still missing a key!" Zhou Zhou looked at Su Xia and the other bridesmaids in disbelief.

"The last key is with Wanying," Su Xia said, pointing to Chen Wanying sitting on the bed.

"Ah Zhe, I've prepared the marriage certificate." Chen Wanying took out a red scroll from behind her and handed it to Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe looked at her with a smile, then opened the marriage certificate, wrote his name on the groom's side, and then looked at Chen Wanying and read it aloud:

"With the auspicious ceremony completed, a blessed union is formed. May your love be as deep and devoted as that of mandarin ducks, and may you treat each other with the utmost respect; may your descendants be numerous and prosperous, and may your family flourish in the future."

The groom, Lin Zhe, is a talented and gentle man with an elegant demeanor. The bride, Chen Wanying, is gentle, virtuous, beautiful, and intelligent. Today, they are happily united in marriage, their families bound together by a vow of eternal love.

From this day forward, may we live in harmony and tranquility. May we share the vastness of heaven and earth, and spend countless days and nights together. May we, husband and wife, be loving and trusting, and stay together until our hair turns white. May we weather storms together and walk hand in hand. This marriage certificate is hereby established as our eternal witness.

Founder:

Groom: Lin Zhe Bride: Chen Wanying

Date: June 18th, Year of the Pig (Ji Hai).

"Wow!"

"Wuhu!"

A group of people cheered and screamed around them. If it weren't for the fact that firecrackers weren't allowed in the room, they would have set off a few to celebrate immediately.

Chen Wanying handed the last key to Lin Zhe, who then smoothly retrieved the shoes from the acrylic box and helped Chen Wanying put them on. Next, they would serve tea to Chen Wanying's parents and formally address them as "parents." They would then visit the groom's family the next day.

"Xiao Lin, I'm entrusting Wan Ying to you. I hope you can take good care of her. If anything happens to her, please tell us, but don't hurt her." Father Chen earnestly instructed Lin Zhe.

“Xiao Lin, we’ve watched you grow up, and we know you’re a good kid. We hope you can be more tolerant of Wan Ying’s temper.” Chen’s mother added, her eyes red with tears, as she stood beside her.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I will take good care of Wanying. She is my wife, the mother of my child, and the other half I will spend the rest of my life with." Lin Zhe also responded earnestly to Mr. and Mrs. Chen.

"Alright, alright, it's not like I'm never coming back. Don't make it sound like a life-or-death separation, okay, Mom and Dad?" Chen Wanying quickly said, afraid that the atmosphere would become too tense if she continued.

"Don't say unlucky things on such a joyous day! Bah, bah, bah!" Not content with doing it herself, Chen's mother also wanted Chen Wanying to do it with her.

Chen Wanying cooperated, mainly because she didn't want her parents to be upset. However, her mother felt it was unlucky, so she went along with her mother's suggestion to ease her anxiety.

Next came the normal tea ceremony. Lin Zhe immediately handed over the red envelopes he received from Chen's parents to Chen Wanying, making a group of viewers exclaim that he was a henpecked husband!

"Wow, if you're the first to do this, then we'll all be furious if we don't do it when we get married later!"

"Exactly, exactly! This is my private stash of money that I've kept openly, and you just handed it over like that?"

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "I don't care about your secret stashes of money. My money has to be handed over to my wife!"

"You're afraid of your wife, Lin Zhe!"

"You're putting it so harshly. Haven't you ever heard the saying, 'A man who loves his wife will definitely succeed'?"

"Huh~"

After serving tea, we met Chen Wanying's relatives and elders, and received a pile of red envelopes and gold jewelry. Chen Wanying had at least one gold ring on each of her ten fingers. Her neck was even more extravagant, with a necklace made of gold bracelets taking up the majority of the look, and there were also gold necklaces that looked like they were worn in a stacked manner.

These elders seemed to be subtly comparing themselves, and anyone whose ring was too thin would be looked down upon by others. So they all tried to make theirs thicker, some even having one ring each for Chen Wanying and Lin Zhe. Lin Zhe's ten fingers were also filled with rings, and Chen's parents even gave him two sets of keys.

The wedding attendant beside them was reciting aloud using a little bee:

"My uncle and aunt gave me a pair of gold rings, two gold necklaces, a pearl necklace, and a pair of gold earrings."

My aunt and uncle gave me a pair of gold rings, a gold necklace, a pair of jade bracelets, and a pair of pearl earrings.

My aunt and uncle gave me a diamond necklace, a pair of diamond earrings, a diamond bracelet, and a pair of gold rings.

……

The mother-in-law and father-in-law gifted him a 200-square-meter apartment, a Land Rover, and a 5% stake in the company.

Ye Zhenzhen, Su Xia, and Lu Lu stood aside, clicking their tongues in admiration. "No wonder they're from a wealthy family! The gifts alone add up to millions, not even counting the property and car. The most valuable thing is the company shares. Chen Wanying's family company is a listed company, large enough to directly sponsor a large portion of the Olympics. These shares are practically a guaranteed income every year."

Although Chen Wanying was their only daughter, her parents had declared years ago that the company would only be inherited by her, and that relatives should not even think about having their children raised by Chen Wanying so they could inherit the company.

Many people advised Mr. Chen to have another son so that they could have an heir. However, when Ms. Chen gave birth to Chen Wanying, it was during the early stages of Mr. Chen's career, and Ms. Chen almost suffered a severe hemorrhage. So Mr. Chen immediately went to have his tubal ligation done, fearing that Ms. Chen might get pregnant again.

Chen's mother also tried to persuade Chen's father, saying that medical conditions are now advanced, and as long as they are careful, the same thing that happened before will not happen again. However, Chen's father just wouldn't budge. Since the problem originated from Chen's father's side, Chen Wanying's grandparents had no choice but to not make things difficult for Chen's mother.

Influenced by her father, Chen Wanying took him as her role model from a young age, wanting to find someone who would love her wholeheartedly. Lin Zhe's unwavering companionship over the past ten years also touched Chen Wanying, so the two naturally got together and held a wedding ceremony after graduation.

At noon, everyone had a banquet at the Chen family's house. Because it's near the sea, the dishes were mostly seafood. King crab and Australian lobster were standard fare, and all sorts of rare and unfamiliar seafood were on the table. Each person received a small bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, with abalone as big as their palm.

"This is truly the most luxurious banquet I've ever had." Ye Zhenzhen squinted her eyes, savoring the taste of the food in her mouth.

“Yes, even during the New Year, we wouldn’t dare eat like this!” Su Xia sighed.

Although Chen Yuan's parents were considered wealthy, they still retained their old habits of thrift, so even if they had a more lavish holiday, it didn't feel like they were celebrating every single day. Chen Jianguo was also worried that he and Chen Yuan might become vain because of their wealth, so he would occasionally supervise how they spent their allowance.

"Wanying and I are truly a perfect match!" Lu Lu exclaimed from the side.

"Hello, bridesmaids, we didn't get to know each other very well during the wedding procession, so let's get to know each other now! After all, we'll be performing together on stage tomorrow." Zhou Zhou led two groomsmen to the bridesmaids' table, hoping to become familiar with them.

"What do you want to know?" Su Xia put down her chopsticks and looked regretfully at the half-eaten chicken leg.

"Hello, we don't mean anything by it, we just want to get to know each other. We, the best man and bridesmaids, also hope that this wedding will go smoothly, right? Zhou Zhou is usually a bit unreliable, so please don't pay too much attention to him." Xu Lai pulled Zhou Zhou aside to prevent him from scaring the bridesmaids.

"What do you mean, Xu Lai! How am I being irresponsible? If I hadn't tried to liven things up, you guys would all be so quiet, like you've been reading too many domineering CEO novels!" Zhou Zhou looked at Xu Lai with displeasure.

"Look, this is how it is, don't mind it. My name is Xu Lai, Lai as in Penglai!" Xu Lai stretched out her hand towards Su Xia.

"Su Xia." Su Xia thought Xu Lai was more reliable than Zhou Zhou, so she reached out and shook hands with him.

"Ye Zhenzhen".

"Lu Lu".

Seeing that Su Xia had introduced herself, the two men followed suit and gave their names as well. They weren't particularly enthusiastic, just polite.

"My name is Chen Lin, hello everyone. Lin Zhe told me that you were all Wan Ying's college roommates, you guys have such a good relationship!" Chen Lin and Chen Wan Ying are distant relatives, and Chen Lin knows a little about Chen Wan Ying's former group of girlfriends. This time, he heard that Chen Wan Ying didn't choose just one person, but instead chose three of her college roommates. Other people would love to have as many bridesmaids as possible for their wedding, and Chen Wan Ying's girlfriends also wanted to be bridesmaids, but Chen Wan Ying directly refused them, not even one more person.

"There's no need for me to go into the details of our relationship with Wanying," Su Xia said with a forced smile. In her mind, she had already grouped him with the women who caused trouble yesterday.

"Why did you two come here?" Chen Wanying pulled Lin Zhe over. She had removed some of her jewelry, so it didn't look so exaggerated anymore.

“Cousin, we just came to say hello to the bridesmaids. They didn’t arrange for us to get to know them beforehand, and we were worried something might go wrong during tomorrow’s ceremony,” Chen Lin said.

"No need for that. What's there to be familiar with between you two? You've barely seen each other since my wedding. As for tomorrow's ceremony, there will naturally be an emcee to officiate. Just follow the emcee's instructions without being stupid." Chen Wanying's words were extremely sarcastic.

However, the three groomsmen didn't dare to say a word, they could only nod in agreement, and returned to their seats at Lin Zhe's signal.

Watching the three men walk away, Chen Wanying couldn't help but sigh, "If they hadn't all gotten married, when would those three have gotten the best man position? You should stay away from them in the future; they're not proper!"

"Yes, yes, my wife said so."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Chen Wanying turned to Su Xia and the other two and said, "Don't worry, they won't dare to cause trouble for the bridesmaids. And you don't need to get to know them for my sake, that's just how they are."

"Hmm."

After the banquet, Chen Wanying went back to her room to change into her lawn wedding dress. Although she could change her lipstick for the morning makeup, her hair needed to be redone, thankfully there was still time. Su Xia and the others also changed into their corresponding bridesmaid dresses, and then helped Chen Wanying hold her train as they went to the lawn to take photos.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhe warned the three groomsmen: "Don't try anything with those three bridesmaids. They're all high-achieving students who are good at studying."

"He's from the same school as you, why do you need to call him a top student?" Zhou Zhou didn't understand. When other people were groomsmen, it was the bride and groom who worked hard to bring them together. But here, it was the bride and groom who were hiding it.

"They're not right for you, don't overthink it."

"How do you know if it's suitable or not? You have to try it!"

"Then tell me, what do you have that makes you worthy of her? Your degree, which you bought with money, your endless stream of female companions, and your wonderful life of indulging in all sorts of vices?"

"Don't put it so harshly. It's just for entertainment, just for fun. Besides, it's not illegal."

"Alright, I'll say it once: don't provoke them, unless you want the Chen family to deal with you."
