"You hooligan!" Gu Sisi snapped, but her blushing face betrayed her.
The wedding process was different from what Gu Sisi had imagined. After that, no one came to toast them specially anymore, which made Gu Sisi feel relieved.
They bowed to heaven and earth and then entered the bridal chamber. Finally, everyone's attention shifted to the bride and groom.
When someone came to toast again, Huo Cheng, who had previously accepted all toasts, declined.
"Sorry, I have to go home and rest," Huo Cheng said with a faint smile.
The man looked at Huo Cheng leaning on Gu Sisi, drank the toast in one gulp, and gave a meaningful smile. "I understand."
Then he stopped persuading and went back to fight with a group of old drunks.
"Am I being very obedient to you?" Huo Cheng's warm breath sprayed on the back of her ear.
The blush on Gu Sisi's face hadn't faded yet, and being teased like this, she bit her lip and pinched his waist hard.
She snapped, "Shut up!"
Just as the two were walking on a small path and about to go home, they were called out.
"Um, Sister." Gu Sisi knew right away whose voice it was. After all, almost everyone in the village inexplicably called her sister - in - law. Only one person was different.
"Xiaocui? What's the matter?" Gu Sisi turned around, supporting Huo Cheng. Seeing that he was pretending to be more drunk and even closed his eyes, she angrily pinched him harder. But it was like hitting cotton, and there was no reaction.
Xiaocui lowered her head, twisting her hands nervously. "Can I talk to Brother Wang?"
The little girl's two braids hung on her shoulders, making her look rather pitiful.
Gu Sisi glanced at Huo Cheng hesitantly. Before Huo Cheng could react, she nodded. "Sure."
Now, Huo Cheng couldn't keep his eyes closed anymore. He straightened up and looked at the visitor. "What's the matter? Just say it!"
"Can I talk to you privately?" The little girl lowered her face, and her ears began to turn red.
The two looked at each other. Gu Sisi had a vague guess about what was going to happen next.
Huo Cheng had an answer in mind, but he wasn't sure yet.
Finally, it was Gu Sisi who nodded first.
"Okay, you two talk. I'll go first." With that, she walked away without looking back.
Huo Cheng looked at the "heartless" woman, full of helplessness.
As Gu Sisi walked, her mind was filled with wild thoughts, speculating about their conversation. She was in a bad mood and absent - mindedly plucked the wild grass by the roadside.
"You actually left me by the roadside!" Huo Cheng caught up, his tone a bit complaining.
Gu Sisi turned around with a helpless look on her face. "Come on! She came for you. Could I just drive her away?"
"But you left me. Fortunately, I know the way."
Gu Sisi didn't respond to Huo Cheng's complaint. She wasn't in the mood to joke anymore and just lowered her head and walked forward.
But Huo Cheng pulled her into his arms.
"Aren't you curious about what we talked about just now?"
Gu Sisi said stubbornly, "Not curious."
Huo Cheng found it even more amusing. His laughter grew louder. He was sure that Gu Sisi was jealous.
"She asked me if we were business partners. I said we were life partners." Huo Cheng looked directly into Gu Sisi's eyes, not giving her a chance to escape.
This woman actually thought he would like someone else.
"Okay, okay, I know." Although Gu Sisi was happy in her heart, she felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze. She turned around and ran away.
"You have to compensate me!" Huo Cheng shouted.
"Compensate, compensate." Gu Sisi quickly covered his mouth.
Their relationship seemed to have taken a step further.
However, by the roadside, Xiaocui was walking forward with her head down.
Accidentally, she bumped into someone. She quickly tried to get around and leave, but the person grabbed her hand.
She looked up, and the person in front of her was the one who had been missing for a long time - Chang Jian.
"Let go of me!" Xiaocui struggled.
Chang Jian refused to let go. He stood directly in front of her, looking down at her. "Is it worth it for such a person?"
Xiaocui was hit right in the heart. She raised her head stubbornly and retorted, "It's none of your business!"
Chang Jian turned his face away and clenched his fists.
He said angrily, "He trampled your heart on the ground, and you still defend him?"
He angrily pointed in the direction of Huo Cheng's residence. At this moment, the cheers of the crowd came, making him even angrier.
He took a step back and shook his head in disbelief. "I think you're all crazy. You've all been bewitched by this guy."
Xiaocui, who had just been rejected, didn't want to entangle with this crazy man anymore. She shook her head. "Say whatever you want. I'm going back."
But the man still blocked her way.
"Why are you crying for such a person?" Chang Jian raised his neck and gritted his teeth.
"It's none of your business. Who said I was crying for him?" Xiaocui wiped away her tears and retorted.
Chang Jian took a step forward. "I heard it all." Each word was spoken as if he wanted to eat her.
"It's none of your business." Xiaocui pushed him away and ignored his entanglement. Seeing that he still blocked her way, Xiaocui stiffened her neck and said, "If you still block me, I'll call someone."
"Go ahead. If you call someone, I'll tell everyone that you were rejected when you confessed your love!" Chang Jian's eyes were blood - red.
Xiaocui smiled faintly. "Sure, come on!"
When she walked again, Chang Jian didn't stop her. Instead, he clenched his fists and rushed down the mountain in a fit of anger.
He went crazy on the road, kicking everything he could.
Everyone here seemed crazy. Since that person came, everything he said was rejected. He had been forced down the mountain by that person, but that person was still safe and sound, and even hurt Xiaocui's heart.
He wanted revenge!
Chang Jian clenched his fists, the veins on his hands bulging. He glared menacingly at the mountain. He would repay that person a thousand times over.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of people suddenly came, holding a picture and looking for someone.
"Have you seen this person?" The man who asked the question was wearing sunglasses, and his tone was cold.
A passer - by glanced at it briefly. "No."
Then he ran away without looking back.
After almost asking everyone, the searchers gathered together.
Just as they were about to leave, someone pointed to a house showing on the mountain and asked, "There are people living there too. Should we go up?"
The leader looked at it and shook his head. "Forget it. The possibility of him being there is very small. Let's not waste time. Let's continue to the next town. The possibility of him appearing near here is high."
The group nodded and were just about to leave when they were called out by someone.
"Can I take a look?" The person who asked was the one who had sworn to take revenge on Huo Cheng. He had just walked out of the door. With a quick glance, he found that the picture in the hands of those menacing - looking people seemed familiar. But he wasn't sure.
The black - clothed men didn't react much. They just walked over, held up the picture, and said coldly, "Have you seen this person?"
Now, Chang Jian was sure. These people were looking for Wang Hubiao.
It seemed that this guy had offended not only him but also a big shot.
He didn't even need to do anything himself to get revenge.
"What do you want him for?" Because of his excitement, his voice trembled slightly.
