The date was soon set.
Half a year ago, under the companionship of his family, Joey's father finally walked out of the hospital in good health.
Joey took the initiative and took her parents and Hou Lei to the Bashang Grassland for a good time. At night, they ate roast whole lamb in the yurt with everyone.
Looking at the calendar on her phone, there was only one week left.
Such a tense atmosphere made not only Joey nervous but also her father anxious for her. Marriage was a major event. Whether at mealtimes, during breaks, or in the yurt at night, nine out of ten sentences from her father were about this.
It was the same for Luo Yize.
For the upcoming wedding with Joey, such a big event, his parents were even more worried than he was. On the one hand, they arranged for the parents of both sides to meet each other within this week.
When Joey returned from the Bashang Grassland with her family, the next arrangement was the meeting of the parents of both sides.
Early one morning, Joey was dimly awakened by the ringing of the phone.
Joey rubbed her eyes, groped for her glasses beside the bed and put them on. When she saw the caller ID, her sleepiness seemed to disappear instantly.
It was A Ze, Luo Yize, and he had called more than once.
"Hello, A Ze. I'm really sorry..."
"It's okay. I know you're very busy with work. I understand..."
On the phone, Luo Yize knew every screenwriter well, so he knew Joey best.
However, Joey replied, "I haven't been working recently..." After all, she was exhausted by the marriage matters.
Joey quickly explained, "I've been having the same dream every night."
On Luo Yize's end, he burst out laughing.
No need to guess. Joey must have dreamed about the wedding scene.
"Don't worry. I promise I'll make this dream come true for you soon."
But this scene came true soon after the parents of Luo Yize and Joey met and had dinner.
The wedding was held in a seven - star hotel.
The entire lawn of the hotel was booked. It didn't look like a wedding. Strictly speaking, it was more like a magnificent and grand engagement party.
In the middle of the long table were all kinds of Chinese - Western combined dishes: pizza, chicken wings, hamburgers, spaghetti, abalone, lobster, and so on.
The children were running around happily on and off the stage with balloons in their hands. The atmosphere was quite lively.
As the wedding approached step by step, the scene suddenly quieted down when the emcee took the stage.
The wedding emcee was talking non - stop on the stage. Below the stage were not only the parents of both sides but also Hou Lei, Deng Hao, General Manager Zhao, and Ye Xuan. While listening, Hou Lei was taking notes in a small notebook, making a real - time record.
Obviously, every word the emcee said was pre - arranged. Next came the appearance of the bride and groom.
Joey was led by her father, wearing a pure white wedding dress, and walked step by step towards the center. Her father's expression seemed a bit reluctant. He knew that his daughter was getting married, and at this moment, how could a father bear it?
In the center, Luo Yize in a gorgeous suit was holding a bouquet of flowers, waiting for Joey to approach him step by step.
The hearts of the two began to beat faster.
When Joey stood in front of Luo Yize, Luo Yize directly handed the bouquet in his hand to Joey and said, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Will you accept it?"
"I will!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the ongoing wedding was suddenly interrupted.
Everyone was stunned and began to whisper to each other.
The emcee was also stunned. Joey turned her head and found that there was a woman in a red suit standing below the stage, dressed very gaudily.
She instinctively guessed who it was. He Jing!
Why did she show up at this moment? Was she here to deliberately disrupt the event?
He Jing picked up the microphone and walked onto the stage. Joey turned around in great surprise and looked at her.
"Sister Nuo, I'm here to apologize to you!"
Apologize? Joey was even more confused.
"After going through so many things, I've finally figured it out. The more we fight with each other, the more we'll lose in the end. I've done a lot of things that hurt you and A Ze. I really regret it now. I hope you can forgive me and forget all the unhappy past."
Then, her gaze turned to Luo Yize. "A Ze, I'm really glad to see your happiness now. I've said all I want to say. I wish you a long and happy marriage."
Joey secretly winked at Luo Yize. Luo Yize's stiff face then returned to normal.
He nodded. Although he didn't say a word, he understood that after going through so many things, the past should be let go forever.
He Jing then stepped off the stage. Luo Yize watched her leave in the distance.
The wedding continued. Then, under the emcee's guidance, they began to exchange rings.
They put the rings on each other's hands. After Joey put the ring on Luo Yize's hand, he grabbed her hand tightly, and then their lips got closer and closer.
Joey's heart began to beat faster.
"Kiss! Kiss!"
Encouraged by the people below the stage, they began to kiss passionately. This kiss lasted for a long time.
The ceremony came to a temporary end. Below the stage, Joey and Luo Yize, accompanied by the best man and bridesmaid, began to serve tea to everyone.
"Hi, Miss Qiao!"
"Officer Yu, why are you here too?"
"Congratulations to you two!"
Yes, it was Officer Yu, sitting with Hou Lei.
Hou Lei interrupted and said, "Yinuo, Officer Yu came here specially for your wedding. There's also an important piece of news to tell you two!"
"What important news?"
"The court has officially announced the verdict on the case of Ah Hai's family's suspected contract fraud. Ah Hai was also involved in kidnapping and extortion and was sentenced to life imprisonment. His father was sentenced to seven years in prison, and their company was also sealed up."
This news was really heartening! People like Ah Hai deserved such retribution.
But thinking about it, as the saying goes, although Ah Hai was a poor man, there must be something hateful about him.
After this day, Joey felt extremely happy.
...
At night, the stars were twinkling in the sky. Joey and Luo Yize were standing on the rooftop of the building, looking at the deep - blue sky with a full moon hanging in it.
The tower is so high that one seems to be able to pick the stars with a hand.
Now, Joey had achieved this and picked the star named "Luo Yize".
