Chapter 2416 - 1529: Best Man and Maid of Honor
Seeing the two-story bridal shop outside, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile, understanding exactly what was going on.
It couldn’t be his wedding, or Fang Qing’s, right?
"Why is Tong Dan joining the fun?"
He mumbled.
"Tie Jun invited Tong Dan to be a bridesmaid," Fang Qing explained as the Maserati drove into the parking lot.
Indeed.
Tie Jun attended Sha City High School back then as well, only he went the athlete route; it’s not that he didn’t have academic talent, but his personal ambition led him to choose the military.
As for the accident in the army that hurt his leg, it just shows how unpredictable life can be.
So he and Tong Dan are also alumni.
And due to Qing Gege, everyone is quite familiar with each other.
On the journey of life, pure friends gradually become sparse over time; if they haven’t drifted apart, then they should be cherished.
"Were you invited too?"
Jiang Chen inferred from Fang Qing’s silent nod.
"Yes."
Fang Qing unbuckled her seatbelt.
"He never mentioned it to me; why am I even here."
Jiang Chen seemed to be pouting.
"Weren’t you the one who wanted to come?"
Fang Qing pushed open the car door without indulging him, "You can go back."
"Then give me the keys."
Jiang Chen muttered from inside the car.
Fang Qing got out of the car, decisively saying, "Call a cab yourself."
See.
It always takes a special person to handle a special person.
If he’s already here, he surely won’t just turn around and leave. Taxis aren’t free, and he just paid for the noodles earlier, so when Fang Qing reached the entrance of Love Bridal, he quietly chased after her.
"Quite extravagant. Tie Jun must have pulled out all the stops for this wedding."
With a warm "Welcome" from the two greeters at the door, Jiang Chen expressed his admiration.
"This wedding? Does he plan another one later?"
"That’s not what I meant."
Jiang Chen quickly explained.
A good lawyer can easily pounce on the loopholes in what people say.
This bridal shop has two floors, covering a large area with luxurious decor. The hall is filled with a dazzling array of wedding dresses — red, white, black — making it hard to focus, while the window display is extravagantly stylish.
These art pieces made from various materials are every girl’s dream.
Even Jiang Chen, not a woman, felt dazzled and couldn’t move.
Honestly, this was his first time visiting a bridal shop.
"Upstairs!"
A shout came.
Jiang Chen and Fang Qing looked up.
They saw Tong Dan waving at them from the second floor.
Walking up the pristine marble steps, Jiang Chen and Fang Qing went upstairs.
"Tong always said she’d give me a surprise. I wondered what it could be."
Tie Jun dressed particularly sharply today, with slicked-back hair and a deep gray suit that highlighted his upright frame. Having been in the army for years, his posture was naturally impeccable. Seeing Jiang Chen, he didn’t seem too surprised, opened his arms, and walked over slowly.
Of course.
Nothing surprising about it.
Even though he hadn’t informed the other party of his wedding, could the other party possibly miss it?
These brothers without blood ties smiled and hugged each other warmly.
Between men.
There’s no need for so much sentimental courtesy.
Everything is clear without speaking.
"This is the most handsome I’ve ever seen you in all the years I’ve known you."
Releasing his grip, Jiang Chen took a step back to look him over and bantered.
Tie Jun casually adjusted his bow tie, "You might find me breaking your understanding every day from now on."
"Tsk, getting married really boosts one’s confidence."
"That’s right. I lack many things, but not confidence. Otherwise, how could I find such a great wife?"
Jiang Chen made a teasingly disgusted face.
Like attracts like, birds of a feather.
He and his buddies became close because of similar personalities. Tie Jun wasn’t originally an introverted person; enlisting and later retiring injured, opening a barbecue restaurant in Sha City, he had to become introspective and steady.
Such is life.
"I think your success isn’t due to confidence, it’s because of your smooth-talking."
Jiang Chen glanced around, "Where’s Wen Rong?"
What counts as detail.
He’d only met the other party once.
"Trying on a wedding dress."
Jiang Chen nodded, turned to look at Tong Dan without speaking.
"What?"
Tong Dan sought refuge by moving next to Fang Qing, habitually clasping Fang Qing’s hand like in high school, "I’m here with Fang Qing to try on bridesmaid dresses today."
She seemed better informed about Jiang Chen’s visit today.
Of course.
As Tianci Airlines’ representative in Sha City, she knew Boss Jiang had arrived two days prior.
Though the call went to Fang Qing, the door-to-door neighbor couldn’t not tag along.
They’re all scheming girls.
"Why not just pick one from your closet? The economy’s tough; why add to Tie Jun’s burden? This one looks nice too."
The Chanel suit revealed long straight legs, as pale as ice cream. Tong Dan’s figure was undeniably stunning.
"I’m too lazy to argue with you."
Previously, Tong Dan would have argued back, but times changed, and now she’s too cautious to retaliate due to circumstances.
"It won’t cost much. I can afford these expenses."
Tie Jun chuckled.
"Seems business at the restaurant’s doing well."
Jiang Chen redirected his gaze from Tong Dan.
Regarding Tong Dan.
No need to expend too much effort.
She’s already been conquered by his ’domineering power.’
"Whether the business is good or not, it must thrive; marriage happens only once in a lifetime."
See.
Tie Jun’s understanding is quite profound.
For some reason, Jiang Chen felt slightly awkward. Although he knew Tie Jun was joking, he dared not meet Fang Qing’s gaze, pretending to nod with composure.
