Chapter 143 You're not jealous, are you?
Just as she was speaking, Yu Huan suddenly felt a tickle on her cheek.
He raised his hand and scratched, then turned his head slightly, only to find Tan Xi quietly standing beside him.
The static electricity of winter caused a few strands of her hair to flutter wildly in the air, one of which inadvertently brushed against Yu Huan's cheek, causing a slight itch.
No wonder it was so itchy!
Tan Xi leaned closer out of curiosity, and half of her face was clearly reflected in the phone screen.
She stared at the ceiling through the small window, muttering curiously, "Why can't I see anyone?"
"You go ahead with your work, I'll hang up now—"
Just as Yu Huan was about to speak, she suddenly heard a "beep" sound, and the video call was abruptly ended.
He froze, his lips slightly parted, a sense of foreboding spreading through his heart.
Not good.
Something is wrong.
Yu Huan was still in a daze.
At this moment, Tan Zhiyuan's aunt walked over gracefully, took out a thick wad of bills from her crossbody bag, and gently placed it on the gift table.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan immediately snapped out of her daze and politely nodded to her.
Like Tan Zhiyuan, Tan Xi also called her "Auntie".
She looked at Tan Xi, her eyes full of smiles: "Tan Xi, you're getting more and more beautiful!"
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Yu Huan, her eyes crinkling slightly at the corners as she smiled, forming fine crow's feet. Turning to Old Tan, she teased, "Brother-in-law, where did you find such a handsome young man to help write the gift register?"
Old Tan stood to the side with his hands behind his back: "He's the son of one of my old buddies."
Upon hearing this, she turned to look at Yu Huan and said half-jokingly, "Handsome young man, are you in love yet? Want to—"
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Huan interrupted her spellcasting with a slight smile: "Auntie, I have a boyfriend."
“If Yu Huan doesn’t have a boyfriend, then it’s really not your place to introduce her,” Old Tan joked. “My Xi is 24 and still single. Maybe if we pair up today, a man and a woman will already spark some romance.”
She laughed and said, "Tan Xi has high standards. You can't just beckon a boyfriend by snapping your fingers."
Feeling a little embarrassed after being hit where it hurt, Tan Xi said, "Auntie! It's not that easy!"
After a few jokes among themselves...
Tan Xi counted the money, and Yu Huan filled out the gift book.
Old Tan then went to the door, called over his brother-in-law and nephew who were chatting with a newlywed couple, and welcomed the family of three to sit down at the table.
With the wedding ceremony about to begin, the couple needed to get ready, and Lao Tan was also busy with many other things.
Occasionally, someone would come to offer a gift, leaving only Yu Huan and Tan Xi in the main hall, but of course, they couldn't leave.
After finding a moment of free time, Yu Huan hurriedly typed on her phone, quickly explaining the cause, process, and outcome, and making her stance clear:
"My dad's friend's son got married, and they asked me to write the guestbook. Then the groom's cousin stood there collecting gifts, cigarettes, and handing out wedding candy!"
In an instant, Lin Yourong replied with a single word:
'Oh. '
"You're not jealous, are you?" Yu Huan smiled.
Jealous? What do I have to be jealous of!
Even from a thousand miles away, Yu Huan could smell her sour, jealous scent, and without hesitation typed out four words: 'Changkang vinegar!'
"Pah! Let's go eat, I'm not talking to you anymore."
"Okay, I'll be eating at the banquet soon too." After sending the message, Yu Huan put her phone back in her pocket when she didn't receive a reply.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a burly young man stride into the hotel.
His chin and neck were almost one continuous line. He was wearing a leather jacket and jeans, and a BMW car key was hanging from his waist, swinging with each step.
The young man's gaze swept back and forth between Yu Huan and Tan Xi's faces. As he looked left and right, he walked closer, took out a small stack of bills that he had prepared beforehand from his leather jacket pocket, and slammed them heavily on the table.
A loud voice: "Five hundred!"
He stared intently at Yu Huan, then turned to Tan Xi and asked, "Who is this kid?"
Tan Xi said calmly, "He is my cousin's friend, and his name is Yu Huan."
"Oh?" The burly young man raised an eyebrow, then suddenly stood on tiptoe, jingling his BMW car keys: "Tan Xi, I'll drive you home after the banquet!"
Yu Huan watched this guy's performance silently from the side, and inexplicably sensed a hint of asserting dominance.
However, Tan Xi smiled and declined, saying, "No need, Yu Huan will take me back."
The burly young man was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting to be rejected at all. He then stood on tiptoe and shook the BMW car key.
He chuckled and said, "Hey! I'll take you there later."
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for a response.
Watching his departing figure, Tan Xi sighed helplessly and muttered, "It's not that I have high standards, but look at all the blind dates they've introduced me to—what a bunch of ugly ducklings!"
Using her as a shield, Yu Huan didn't bother to get involved and simply asked two words: "Name?"
“Li Gaoquan, Li with wood in his name, Gao with his height, Quan with his safety.” “Oh.” Yu Huan nodded.
Tanxi's cousin is getting married, and there's no need to worry about not having a car?
The entire scene was filled with Tan family relatives. If she didn't want to, what could this man possibly do?
Yu Huan wrote fluently on the gift book, listening intently to the wedding emcee's voice. The newlyweds had finished their vows and were about to throw the bouquet.
He casually added his name to the gift register and gave a gift of three hundred yuan.
After putting down his pen, he opened the red envelope and saw that it contained three bright red bills. He took them out and placed them in front of Tan Xi, then casually put the envelope back into his shirt pocket.
Tan Xi looked at the red bill in front of her, but didn't immediately accept it. She reminded Yu Huan, "Didn't it have your father's name on it?"
"Of course I know what I wrote," Yu Huan said with a calm smile, without saying anything more.
This matter is now concluded.
The banquet had been going on for several minutes.
Since Yu Huan noticed that Teacher Wu had already reserved a seat for him with his handbag, he politely declined Lao Tan's kind offer to sit at the relatives' table and moved to the seat between Teacher Wu and the old man.
Having only eaten half a bowl of noodles that morning, Yu Huan was now starving and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
During the meal, they used Sprite to deal with the newlyweds' toasts, ate slowly with the old man who was drinking a little wine, chatted for a while, and in the end, only the two of them were left at the table.
As time went by, the guests gradually left, and the grandfather and grandson let out a perfectly synchronized burp before making their way off.
Yu Huan called over Teacher Wu, who was chatting with some women in the lobby, and together they walked out of the hotel amidst compliments like "Your son is so handsome."
Mr. and Mrs. Tan, along with a newlywed couple, were seeing off guests at the hotel entrance.
Upon seeing Yu Huan and his group, they immediately stepped forward to express their gratitude, and the two sides exchanged a few polite words.
After eating and drinking his fill and patting his belly, Yu Huan saw Li Gaoquan, who had almost no neck, leaning arrogantly against a black sedan on the roadside outside the hotel, as if he were leaning against a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
His eyes were fixed on Yu Huan, his posture and gaze quite provocative.
He looked Yu Huan up and down, then shook his head dismissively.
Then, he opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and rested his left hand on the window, looking like he was claiming ownership of the car, exuding an air of arrogance.
Yu Huan took the lead and walked to the right, glancing back slightly at the rear of the car.
BMW!
However, no lettering was seen on the rear of the vehicle.
It is noticeably smaller than Lin Yourong's three-part series.
Clearly, this is just a BMW 1 Series.
Yu Huan initially thought he was some wealthy man with a mine, all arrogant and conceited, but it turned out he was just a vain guy who bought bids.
There are all kinds of people in this world. He suppressed his speechlessness and led the old man and Teacher Wu into the car to leave.
Because both sides of the two-way single lane were full of parked cars, Yu Huan could only drive a distance away to make a U-turn.
As the two cars passed each other, Brother Maibiao looked through the windshield and saw the face of the driver of the BMW 3 Series, and was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had noticed the BMW 3 Series parked at the hotel entrance long ago, and even stopped to examine it closely. It wasn't a rebadged car; he confirmed it was the genuine top-of-the-line model.
At first, I thought it was the car of some big boss.
However, he never expected that this was Yu Huan's car!
When Yu Huan turned around, he deliberately pressed the brake pedal close to the car body of the car that was buying the car.
He lowered the passenger-side window, leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and looked over the old man to meet the eyes of Brother Mai Biao.
He gave him a taste of his own medicine, glanced at Brother Buying Standard from head to toe, and then shook his head slightly with a tsk tsk.
That contemptuous look made the fat on Buying Standard Brother's face turn bright red. He felt nine parts embarrassed and one part angry that he dared not vent.
These days, people who can afford to spend over 500,000 yuan on a car are either rich or powerful, with plenty of money in their pockets. But he himself is just putting on a show.
Even the most virtuous woman can be won over by persistent pursuit. He had originally planned to relentlessly pursue Tan Xi to win her heart, but now it seems no wonder Tan Xi disdains him.
Looking at the rear of the white BMW 3 Series, Brother Maibiao felt a sense of defeat. He awkwardly started the car, turned around, and drove away.
After Yu Huan drove a distance, the old man turned to look at his grandson with the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
He himself asked, "What kind of expression is that?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu, who had not noticed the exchange that had just taken place, quickly turned around from the window and looked at Yu Huan through the rearview mirror.
what expression?
They're laughing so happily!
The old man pressed further, "Also, that young man seemed a bit off about you from the start. You don't have any conflict with him, do you?"
"This is Old Tan's niece's blind date. He seems to have a crush on Tan Xi. Tan Xi and I sat at the same table writing the gift book and collecting the gift money. He seemed to have some objections, but there was no conflict between us." Yu Huan commented, "It's entirely because he's petty."
Upon hearing this, the old man offered a relaxed and leisurely critique: "When dealing with people outside, unless it's a matter of principle, there's no need to compare, argue, or distinguish right from wrong. For small things, what's wrong with showing some courtesy?"
Yu Huan gripped the steering wheel and chuckled nonchalantly, "What I'm doing isn't arguing about right and wrong, it's called being cunning! You see, I didn't say a word to him, but he's acting like he's swallowed a fly."
