Chapter 383: The Arrogant and Rich Family + the Silent and Abstinent Bodyguard 29
On the Xu family's side, Xu's mother was fine and looked smiling, but Xu's father, on the other hand, looked at Huo Zhao holding his daughter's hand tightly with a serious face.
The two families were familiar with each other, and both sides had made preparations for the marriage in advance. The Zhu family showed full sincerity, and the Xu family naturally would not let their daughter down, so the marriage was finalized very smoothly.
After dinner, everyone chatted. Zhu's mother glanced at her son, then pulled Xu's mother aside and talked a lot, specifically mentioning Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian was sent in when the Gu family fell.
Mother Zhu: "My dear relatives, this is what happened. Lin Qianqian was arrested and sentenced because of her own fault. However, she was kind to Huo Zhao back then, so when the sentencing was decided, Old Zhu and I let her go."
Zhu's mother didn't push him too hard because of the favor, but this matter involved Ruan Ruan, and the two of them had to talk it out before they could get married. It would be a waste of time if she developed a grudge because of this.
In fact, Xu's mother was not satisfied with Lin Qianqian's judgment, but she had to consider the Zhu family's reputation. Now that she heard her bring it up, she knew there was something hidden, so she asked curiously.
Upon seeing this, Huo Zhao slowly told the story of what happened. However, the more Xu's father and mother listened, the more they felt something was wrong, and they looked at each other.
Why does this story sound so familiar?
Father Xu: "We also went to the welfare home you mentioned."
"Ruan Ruan was still young at that time. She felt sorry for the children she saw on TV and insisted on bringing them snacks."
"That's right." Xu's mother nodded. "There were a lot of people around at the time, and Ruanruan slipped out when we weren't paying attention. When she came back, her face was all dirty, like a naughty monkey. I remember even her hair was crazy."
Hair flower?
Huo Zhao's heart skipped a beat. "Do you remember what kind of hair ornament it was?"
"How could I not remember it?" Mother Xu tapped the table and said with certainty, "It was made of pink satin with pearls and gemstones inlaid on it. It was a bow."
"I asked her and she didn't know either. The bow was given by Huaichuan. The little girl was very sad for a long time."
As Xu's mother was talking, she noticed that the topic had gone off track and quickly changed the subject, saying with a smile, "What a coincidence, maybe you two have met before."
Huo Zhao lowered his eyes to look at Ruan Ruan with sparkling eyes, his heart filled with turmoil. Could it be that the little girl who saved him that year was her?
Ruan Ruan felt at a loss for what to do when he looked at her. She called the system in her mind, "66, what happened back then? Did the original body meet Huo Zhao when he was a child?"
"Yes, host." 66 briefly summarized what happened that year. "The original body slipped out of the orphanage when the parents weren't paying attention, found the little boy who fainted, pushed him awake, stuffed some food into his mouth, and ran back to the orphanage to call for help. On the way, he was intercepted by Lin Qianqian, and the bow that fell was also picked up by Lin Qianqian and sold."
Ruan Ruan suddenly realized that her original self was Huo Zhao's real benefactor.
But why does the original body not have any relevant memory at all?
Before she could ask, the system automatically answered: "Not long after the original body returned from the orphanage, he fell ill. With a high fever and a young age, many things were forgotten."
Ruan Ruan nodded. Her original self had forgotten about it but now she knew it. This favor could not fall on Lin Qianqian in vain.
Huo Zhao looked at her expectantly: "Do you still remember the welfare home?"
She lowered her head as if recalling something, and only raised it after a long while, and said uncertainly: "I seemed to have met a little boy at that time, and I remember giving him bread."
Huo Zhao's breathing tightened, and the anxiety in his heart was swept away. The hand under the tablecloth unconsciously held her hand tightly, and he said with difficulty in expressing his joy: "It's me, that little boy is me."
Then he changed his tone, "It's a pity that your bow tie was claimed by Lin Qianqian."
No wonder when he asked Lin Qianqian about giving the bread, she didn't react. It turned out that he had recognized the wrong person all along.
Zhu's mother was astonished: "Oh! So Ruanruan is the little benefactor!"
They were helping the wrong people.
Mother Zhu looked at Father Zhu, and it was obvious that he had thought of this as well. She nodded slightly and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, my dear relatives. We in the Zhu family are not good at judging people, and we will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
If it weren't for the favor, they would never make their future daughter-in-law unhappy for an outsider.
After hearing this, Xu's father and mother stopped discussing the matter. Since the Zhu family said they would give an explanation, they would definitely do it.
In prison, Lin Qianqian, who was originally expected to be released in two months, did not know that her sentence would be extended by at least five years, and that her previous ease would be gone forever. Real prison life would be waiting for her in the future.
Ruan Ruan didn't know about Lin Qianqian's punishment. She had been very busy recently. As a bride preparing for her wedding, her daily schedule was arranged clearly by Huo Zhao.
As the wedding date drew closer, Huo Zhao became more and more attached to her, even pushing all the work to his assistant, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Ruan Ruan was right about this.
Huo Zhao was not afraid that she would run away, because there was a covetous Ji Huaichuan living next to the Xu family. When Huo Zhao thought of him and Ruanruan, who were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
Only by marrying Ruanruan and putting her in his own space can he feel a little at ease.
So at the man's repeated request, the two chose an auspicious date for their wedding. This made both parents very busy, but they finally completed all the preparations before the wedding.
This wedding was extremely luxurious.
The newspapers called it the “wedding of the century,” a “marriage between wealthy families,” a “fairy-tale love story,” and a match made in heaven.
The exterior walls of the IFC are covered with flowers. From a distance, it looks like a huge garden. The crystal lamps in the dome ballroom in the lobby reflect dazzling light, and hundreds of thousands of Queen's roses airlifted from Ecuador bloom in the hall. Guests arrive one after another, and they are all amazed and envious when they talk to each other.
The bride wore a custom-made wedding dress worth tens of millions. The skirt was very long and shone brightly as she walked. It is said that the diamond jewels inlaid on the skirt alone were worth more than 30 million, not to mention the antique crown on the bride's head, which was said to be a family heirloom. Unexpectedly, it would be exposed to the public today.
The groom was dressed in a well-ironed suit and looked very dignified. As the heir of the Zhu family who made his first appearance in public, he was as popular as the bride, and the media cameras at the scene never stopped flashing.
The symphony sounded at the right time, and the ceremony went smoothly accompanied by the moonlight concerto.
The ring exchange session brought the event to a climax.
The 20-carat pink diamond didn't even need to be zoomed in to see its brilliance. Even though the guests at the scene were from wealthy families, they were still shocked by it, and the gasps and discussions at the scene were the best explanation.
During the banquet, guests chatted and laughed loudly, while some quietly calculated the cost of the wedding banquet. Later, according to media reports, the cost of wine alone was over a million.
The grand occasion of the wedding of the century once again set off the entire Internet and landed on the front pages of more than 100 media outlets around the world. The two protagonists of the event had already flown to the other side of the southern hemisphere to start their honeymoon trip.
