Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 662 - 269: Snatching the Bride
Hang Yishao was also forced to throw a bachelor party that night. Among his friends, only Fei Qing had been playing with him for over twenty years, but unfortunately, he had already left.
By the end of the party, Hang Yishao felt it was quite tasteless and decided that ever since the day he was determined to strive forward, he was out of step with the life of luxury and indulgence.
So after drinking a few glasses, he, the host, very ungraciously left early.
For tomorrow’s wedding, he had prepared with great care. He wanted to use a lifetime’s romance to give Su Ziceng an unforgettable ceremony. Su Ziceng in a wedding dress, smiling brightly in photos with him, Su Ziceng who would hold his hand for a lifetime.
A name that once filled him with rage would now be forever tied to him. He pulled out the lovers’ rings and flipped the male ring under the moonlight.
He originally didn’t want to use this pair of rings, as the male ring had been tainted by another man’s scent. But he couldn’t bear to part with it. Together, the male and female rings were like Su Ziceng—parts that belonged and did not belong to him, combined to make the complete Su Ziceng.
"To hell with it, anyway Ziceng is mine, what does it matter if the whole world belongs to you?" Hang Yishao lit up a cigarette, facing the "Golden Coast" that could be clearly seen from any angle in Mo City, he cursed loudly at that building owned by Pello and Wen Maixue, the first skyscraper in the Z country. Especially tonight, it was an eyesore for Hang Yishao, his heart still had some misgivings about deceiving Su Ziceng.
During that night, several people in Mo City did not get a good night’s sleep.
At dawn, Su Ziceng rubbed her eyes sleepily, not knowing if she had slept the night before, aware only that she seemed to wake with each turn, then fall asleep again with another.
Meanwhile, Hang Yishao was being scolded by Hang Mu for returning home early in the morning, Mrs. Yan thought he had overdone it at the bachelor party and was lecturing him for his lack of propriety.
"Alright, alright, this is the last time you can nag, after this, you won’t get a chance," Hang Yishao went into the bathroom, the flushing water drowned out Hang Mu’s nagging.
"From now on, it will be Ziceng who’s in charge," Hang’s father, who came out upon hearing the noise, consoled Hang Mu, the couple had been waiting a long time for this day. Their precious son was finally grown up, ready to start a family and make a living.
Sister Mu and Lin Ying were also fully prepared; one had been a short-lived bride, the other had only designed wedding dresses, neither had truly indulged in being a bride, so they arrived early at Su Ziceng’s small apartment, setting up several obstacles in the bride’s room, both openly and secretly.
Yan Wuxi also brought her younger brother to fill the void left by Yan Wuxu, acting as a junior bridesmaid. Qiao Chu died early, and Chang Mei was still in prison, so the only female relative who could help Su Ziceng with the wedding arrangements was Mrs. Yan.
Due to Yan Wuxu’s reasons, Mrs. Yan was initially tentative, but she relaxed a bit after receiving a courteous reception from Su Qingzhang.
When Su Ziceng, escorted by Lin Ying and Sister Mu’s Jim, finally came out, the living room was already set with all sorts of utensils for the wedding.
During the last wedding between Yan Wuxu and Su Qing, out of consideration for Su Qing’s dignity, they didn’t go all out. Mrs. Yan then used all the bridal trappings she had saved up for Su Ziceng’s wedding.
The sound of firecrackers echoed from outside the door, and Su Ziceng was pushed by the bridesmaids into the room. Lin Ying and Sister Mu, both tall models standing at 1.8 meters, blocked the bride’s door, truly looking the part. Jim, half a woman, hid in the bridal room, cracking peanuts on Su Ziceng’s bed with Yan Wuxi.
The first to squeeze through the door was not Hang Yishao, but Qiu Zhi, who by simply standing at the door could block it tightly. While Hang Yishao was troubled about choosing a best man, a transoceanic call from Qiu Zhi came through.
Thinking of having such a best man, Hang Yishao’s breath quickened, feeling overwhelmed, he was about to turn down Qiu Zhi’s plea.
Qiu Zhi started bawling over the phone: "Yishao, you must let me be your best man. If you don’t agree, that thief Lin Ying wants me to join the bridesmaids instead, I don’t want to be lumped together with that weird-sounding homosexual."
When Su Ziceng’s invitation came across the ocean, Qiu Zhi was heartbroken for a long time. Out of sorrow, he ate and drank, leading to his weight breaking into double digits. Little did he expect worse was yet to come. Because he was Su Ziceng’s close male friend, Lin Ying and the others decided to pull him into the rank of bridesmaids.
