Wedding private room.
Compared to just now.
The private room became much livelier again.
However, it was different from the joyful atmosphere of the other tables where families sat together chatting and laughing.
The atmosphere at the Love Apartment group's table was rather somber.
Hu Yifei took a sip of her drink, her brows furrowed, and said, "Did you guys notice? When Zhang Wei came back just now, he looked like he'd lost his soul."
"Yeah, I guess she was hurt by that Qiangzi," Lin Wanyu said while cracking sunflower seeds.
"Is that even a question?" Lu Ziqiao raised an eyebrow. "Based on my experience, that Qiangzi most likely had some unusual relationship with Zhang Wei's fiancée before, and then used today's wedding as an opportunity to tell Zhang Wei some private matters, and then Zhang Wei..."
In the end, Lü Ziqiao slumped his head and helplessly shrugged.
Zeng Xiaoxian said leisurely, "I told him a long time ago not to go over there and listen to that Qiangzi's nonsense. Sigh."
"Hearing you say that, Qiangzi's actions are simply despicable!" Guan Gu Shenqi said indignantly. "No wonder Zhang Wei called his parents-in-law away after he came back. He must have wanted to tell them about Qiangzi and ask them to punish that guy."
"Please, Guan Gu, Zhang Wei isn't a child anymore. He wouldn't go and report something like that. He probably has something else to discuss," Zeng Xiaoxian said.
"I see." Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head.
"Yes, Teacher Zeng is right." Lin Wanyu said, tilting her head and looking around, wondering, "By the way, Mingyang has been in the restroom for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Who knows? Probably constipation," Hu Yifei said, pouting.
"This shouldn't be happening; almost thirty minutes have passed," Lin Wanyu said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Wanyu, unless he fell into the toilet, there's nothing to worry about," Hu Yifei reassured her.
Who fell into the toilet?
A magnetic voice rang out.
Lin Wanyu turned around and smiled, "Mingyang, you're back."
"Hmm." Su Mingyang sat down next to Lin Wanyu, looked at everyone, and asked knowingly, "Who just said I fell into the toilet?"
All eyes were on Hu Yifei...
"Why are you looking at me?" Hu Yifei pretended not to know.
Lin Wanyu chuckled and handed a pile of sunflower seeds she had just cracked to Su Mingyang: "Look, these are what I just cracked, what do you think?"
"Wow, Wanyu, you've helped me eat so many!" Su Mingyang exclaimed, then opened his mouth to try and stuff the melon seeds from Lin Wanyu's small hand into his stomach.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wanyu immediately withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Mingyang, you misunderstood. This is something I kowtowed to myself. I just wanted to see it."
Hear this.
Hu Yifei, Zeng Xiaoxian, and the others suppressed their laughter with schadenfreude.
Su Mingyang was at a loss for words, pretending to be helpless: "Since Wanyu said so, and no one will help me crack the sunflower seeds, then I can only find someone else to help me crack them."
"Huh?" Lin Wanyu was taken aback and asked, "Who do you want to ask to help you with the 0.9?"
"Hmm..." Su Mingyang said seriously, "I don't know who would be willing, so I'll just have to spend some money to hire one."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei immediately pointed to herself and joked, "What about me? I'm incredibly fast at cracking sunflower seeds."
"You..." Su Mingyang was about to speak.
Lin Wanyu interrupted, "No need, Feifei, I'll kowtow to Mingyang."
After saying that, she held the sunflower seeds she had cracked open to Su Mingyang's mouth: "Mingyang, eat up."
Chapter 347
Su Mingyang only wanted to tease Lin Wanyu and didn't really want to eat sunflower seeds. When he saw her handing him the sunflower seeds she had cracked open, he smiled and said, "You can have them, but be careful not to eat too many, or you'll get a sore throat."
"Don't worry, I'll help you cool down if you're feeling hot," Lin Wanyu said with a smile.
"relieve inflammation?"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Ziqiao exchanged a glance and revealed a lewd smile.
Looking at their expressions, Su Mingyang knew what kind of nonsense these two were thinking, and explained, "Wanyu means to help me make herbal tea."
"Haha, no need to explain, we all know." Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled dryly.
Su Mingyang rolled his eyes and said to Lin Wanyu, "In that case, let's split it in half."
"Okay, sure." Lin Wanyu agreed, cut the sunflower seeds into two halves, and poured the seeds into Su Mingyang's mouth.
Su Mingyang chewed as he did so, turning his neck to look for Zhang Wei.

Not surprisingly.
Zhang Wei and Xiao Li's parents were not home.
It looks like they went to have a talk.
Hopefully, Zhang Wei can be more assertive when facing them.
Su Mingyang thought to himself.
His original plan was to ensure that Zhang Wei could attend the wedding smoothly.
Then, when you arrive at the wedding venue, make up some excuse to tell him that Xiaoli has a boyfriend and is planning to elope.
Let him verify with Xiaoli and then make a decision.
But unexpectedly, Qiangzi suddenly appeared.
To obstruct.
It almost ruined his plans.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time.
Things were back on track.
Now it's up to Zhang Wei.
……
Private room, backstage beauty room.
This is where brides rest and get their makeup done.
Xiaoli sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, her hands clenched tightly together, so much so that her nails dug into her flesh.
Zhang Wei stood to the side, expressionless.
Xiaoli's parents leaned against each other without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the entire beauty room was so oppressive it was suffocating.
He stood there for a long time.
Xiaoli's father glanced at his watch and questioned Xiaoli, "Chen Meili, are you still in contact with that scoundrel?"
Zhang Wei has just told him everything about meeting Qiangzi.
Xiaoli pinched her palm with her fingernails and stammered, "I..."
Xiaoli's father adjusted his glasses and shouted angrily, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'I told you long ago to break off contact with him and focus on your relationship with Zhang Wei? Why didn't you listen?'"
Xiaoli didn't dare to speak, but glanced at Zhang Wei out of the corner of her eye, hoping he would say something for her.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wei's mind was in complete turmoil, and he wouldn't pay any attention to her.
"Old Chen, just say what you want to say, don't shout so loudly, aren't you afraid the guests outside will hear?" Xiaoli's mother reminded her.
"Hmph!" Xiaoli's father snorted coldly, realizing that his reaction had been too extreme.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Wei said, "Uncle, I've made up my mind. Since Xiaoli loves Qiangzi, there's no need for this marriage. I think we should just cancel it."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoli's parents immediately frowned.
Xiaoli looked at Zhang Wei gratefully and said weakly, "I agree with Zhang Wei's decision."
"What do you agree to? Shut up!" Xiaoli's father glared at her fiercely.
Xiaoli gritted her teeth and stopped talking.
Xiaoli's father didn't even look at her, but advised Zhang Wei, "Zhang Wei, don't be impulsive. I know Xiaoli hurt you, and I apologize to you here."
“But your marriage is a done deal. All the guests have arrived, and the wedding is about to begin. If you say you want to cancel, people will think we're just playing house. How will we save face then?”
“Yes,” Xiaoli’s mother chimed in. “Besides, you are much better than that lazy, good-for-nothing Qiangzi. No matter what, we would never agree to Xiaoli being with him. You are the best son-in-law we approve of.”
"Ignorant and lazy?" Zhang Wei was a little confused. Qiangzi had told him that Xiaoli's parents didn't want them to be together because they didn't agree to the requirement of Xiaoli marrying into the family.
“That’s right!” Xiaoli’s father said disdainfully, “Qiangzi has never done a proper job since graduation. He idles around all day and even asks Xiaoli for money. How could we entrust Xiaoli to such a person?”
“That’s not how it is. Qiangzi just hasn’t found his direction yet. The money I gave him was as his startup fund. He’s still figuring things out. Once he finds the right path, he’ll definitely work hard.” Xiaoli couldn’t help but speak up to refute her parents’ bad words about Qiangzi.
"You listen to his nonsense? You believe everything he says? If he told you to eat shit, would you go?" Xiaoli's father said angrily.
Xiaoli was furious that her father would say such hurtful things. She retorted, "I don't care. I love Qiangzi, and he loves me too. I don't care what kind of person he is. I want to be with him."
Xiaoli's father felt a surge of unease, wanting nothing more than to slap her. Pointing at Zhang Wei, he said, "You keep calling him Qiangzi, but I just want to know, in what way does Zhang Wei fall short of him?"
