The wedding ceremony was held on the training field of Section A. A transparent sunshade shed had been built there because of the hot weather. Along the edge of the sunshade shed hung dreamy purple silk ribbons. A high stage surrounded by colorful flowers was built in the middle of the field. The only way leading to the stage was covered with a red carpet. Along the carpet lined the archways made by colorful balloons every two meters. There were also flowers and green plants around the field. The Zhou, Liu and Xiao families really had spared no efforts in this wedding.
At around 10 a.m., guests arrived one after another. The field that could accommodate over tens of thousands of people gradually bustled with noise and excitement. Apart from the top executives of the government, people on behalf of major armies and families also participated in the wedding. In addition, the officers of all ranks of the Zhou Army, the top 10 superfunction squads of all sections and the base commanders of nearby major bases also attended the wedding. The Zhou family had set hundreds of feast tables, which was quite a big scene.
"Mr. Zhou, congratulations!"
As the parents of the bridegroom, the Zhou family had been welcoming guests at the entrance. At this moment, the guests who had good relationships with the Zhou family arrived, including Lin Xiaohan's parents, Zhou Mingyuan's siblings, Zhou Wang's parents, relatives of the Liu and Xiao families, etc. Soon after getting off the cars, most of the guests made bows with hands and congratulated before the Zhou family greeted. It couldn't be denied that the atmosphere was specially hilarious.
"Thank you. You're early."
Zhou Mingyuan and his wife stepped up to welcome Lin Xiaohan's parents and greeted them warmly. When Lin Hui was still the mayor of the capital, even Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were somewhat reserved before Lin Hui and his wife. After all, the Zhou family had been merchants before the doomsday. However rich a merchant was, he had to grovel in front of the official. But things changed now. Zhou Zhijun was a commander of an army. He was even going to marry the daughter of the president today. Starting today, he would become the husband of the princess. The Zhou family no longer needed to be reserved before Lin Hui and even felt arrogant.
"It's Zhijun's wedding. How could we come late?"
Lin Hui and his wife were not stupid. How could they not see the slight change of their attitude? What was more, Lin Hui's only daughter had been set up by Zhou Wang so the couple had had hatred for Zhou Wang since long time ago. However, it was after the doomsday now and Lin Hui and his wife had raised a good son. In spite of their hatred, they could just take it on the chin and mingle with the Zhou family, pretending that they knew nothing.
"Dad, mom."
Lin Xiaohan who welcomed guests with his parents-in-law called her parents sweetly. She came up and held her mother by the arm. Zhou Lan who was with her mother Lin Xiaohan jumped onto her maternal grandpa and threw her arms around his legs. "Grandpa, grandpa, give me a hug."
Lin Xiaohan's daughter Zhou Lan was 5 years old and her son Zhou Hao who was 3 years older had died last year. So Zhou Lan was the only granddaughter of the two families. Both the Zhou and Lin families had loved her a lot. Of course, that was before Liu Yuan got pregnant. Ever since Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were told that Liu Yuan was pregnant with Zhou Zhijun's baby, the couple had focused on Liu Yuan's coming baby all the time.
"Okay. Let me hug…"
Lin Hui had no choice but to bent down to hold her up. But before he finished his words, a couple of black cars drove in. When Zhou Mingxuan found out that the Xiao family were in the car, he went straight up to welcome them without asking Lin Hui and his wife for excuse. Their smile instantly froze. They were not simply being ignored but totally bullied.
"They've gone so far. Lin, look, this is the good family you chose for Xiaohan."
Mrs. Lin who looked highly cultured trembled out of anger. Pulling her husband, tears almost trickled down. Even after the doomsday, her man was second to none as the head of Section B. It was so rude of the Zhou family to have ignored them.
"Keep your voice down. I've told you many times. It's not before the doomsday now. Only the people with military power can act bossily. The Zhou family now builds a good relationship with the president, which also means an indirect relationship with the Xiao family. It's weird if they wouldn't seize the chance to fawn on the Xiao family."
Holding his granddaughter, Lin Hui looked with his eyes slightly narrowed at Zhou Mingyuan and his wife who complimented the Xiao family. A grim look flashed in Lin Hui's eyes but soon disappeared imperceptibly.
"Only you can endure. They treated us like that, let alone Xiaohan who lives with the Zhou family. My poor daughter…
Saying that, Lin Xiaohan's mother couldn't help pulling her daughter and wiping tears. They had only one child. As long as Lin Xiaohan's mother thought about the hard life her daughter might have led, she felt great pain in her heart.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Lin Xiaohan said so but hatred filled her eyes. If Liu Yuan hadn't been pregnant, how would Zhijun have agreed to marry her? Humph! There were still months to go. It was uncertain whether Liu Yuan could give birth to the baby.
"Chill out. Think before you act. If you have any questions, come to me. Dad will help you."
Lin Hui saw his daughter through at a glance, but didn't mean to stop her. Instead, he whispered his advise. Lin Hui had disapproved of the Zhou family since long time ago. He wouldn't do anything publicly, but would possibly do something sneakily.
"Okay. I know. Dad, mom, let me show you in. Get out of here before things get worse."
Lin Xiaohan nodded and walked to the door to resister, holding her mother's arm. Lin Hui's parents put down the gift. They walked in as a family of four. Outside, many people from the Xiao family had arrived, even including Xiao Guoquan. Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were attending to him carefully in fear that they didn't treat him well enough. They had to rethink what they were going to say to make sure they wouldn't offend the Xiao family.
"Why so many soldiers? Is it a wedding or an execution ground? Retreat now. What do you think the guests who see them would feel?"
Xiao Guoquan got off the car and looked around. His face instantly turned sullen. There were armed soldiers and countless policemen outside the hall. Seemingly, the field was thickly surrounded by the soldiers and policemen.
"Well…"
Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were startled. They wanted to explain but hesitated. They didn't even dare to look right into Xiao Guoquan's eyes. When they asked other members of the Xiao for help, the Xiao family totally ignored them for their daughter had humiliated the Xiao family. If it was not because of Liu Xizhao, who would come to the wedding?
If it were another person, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife must have exploded. After all, the couple had been very proud. Unfortunately, they were facing the Xiao family, the parental family of Liu Yuan's mother. Moreover, the Xiao family had the real military power. Zhou Mingyuan had no choice but to force a smile. "Senior Xiao, you may not know this. It seems some people are deliberately causing trouble to my family. I asked Zhijun to send soldiers here just in case anything would happen."
"Then why don't you bring the whole army to this place?"
Xiao Guoquan shot him a piercing glare and was pissed off. His dear granddaughter condescended to marry Zhou Zhijun already. Seeing the obsequious faces of theirs, Xiao Guoquan was even angrier that he couldn't call off the wedding.
"I… I'll ask them to retreat right away, right away…"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Guoquan didn't show him any respect. Zhou Mingyuan wiped the cold sweats and turned around. His wife didn't dare to stay either and left with him. Xiao Guoquan's second daughter Xiao Ying said unhappily, "Dad, look at them. If it was another big family left behind like that, how would they not feel embarrassed? Why did Xizhao choose such a family for Yuanyuan?"
Big families lacked of nothing and cared most about being respected. Undoubtedly, the Xiao family's disappointment at Zhou Mingyuan and his wife grew.
"What if he didn't? Yuanyuan is already pregnant. Let's just get in."
Xiao Guoquan glowered at his daughter. He stepped inside first. Every one of the Xiao family pouted. At first, they didn't have good feelings for this family of merchants. What had happened lately even made the Xiao family disgust at them extremely. If it was not hard to conceive after the doomsday and Liu Yuan had the luck to get pregnant, it was absolutely impossible for the Xiao family to agree on the marriage.
No matter how they thought, the wedding carried on. That was just a small incident before the wedding. As it was getting late, more and more guests arrived. Old men of all big families had come probably out of respect of the Xiao and Liu families. Zhou Mingyuan and his wife didn't feel anything wrong. Instead, they felt respected. It was not the first time they had felt lucky that the president's daughter liked their son.
"Creak…"
At the bustling entrance of the wedding, several long caravans stopped. Zhou Mingyuan and his wife who welcomed guests thought there came some big shots. After the door was opened, Xing Feng in a black suit got off first. He then turned around and considerately helped Yun Che out who wore a white suit. They were incredibly handsome with their tall bodies in their suits. Yun Che's skin even looked fairer and tenderer with the pure white suit on it. With his flawless five sense organs, he looked like an imperial heir.
Next, Leng Yehan also in a black suit got off. Yun Cheng rarely wore a red suit. Normally, it was hard for men to match red. But Yun Che was an exception. Red seemed his customized color. Moreover, he didn't wear cosmetic contact lenses today. The bloodily red eyes and the red lips made him look evil. Even though he had the same face as Yun Che, the two siblings had completely different temperaments. They had their own beauty.
The last one to get off was Fei Ye. He looked different again today. People would have a strong desire to jump at him and take a bite after a glance at his dashing eyebrows, high nose and sexy lips. The evil smile added to his seduction. He chose to wear a white suit too, whose pattern was exactly the same as that of Yun Che. The only difference was that Yun Che wore a necktie while Yun Cheng wore a black tie. The two of them looked like a couple even if they didn't stand next to each other. Xing Feng had argued over that with Fei Ye many times. However, Fei Ye was stronger than Xing Feng in terms of the superfunction and the personality. Obviously, Fei Ye had won since he wore the suite of the same pattern as that of Yun Che.
Driver Zhou Zeyu got off after the five of them had done so. After he opened the door of the passenger seat, Xiu Jie in a sky-blue suit walked off the car. Before the doomsday, Xiu Jie had been an idol star who made money by appearance. After he was with Zhou Zeyu, Xiu Jie's temperament improved quite much with the bath in the spring water and the cultivation in the space. He was not less charming in his attire than Yun Che and other people in front. Zhou Zeyu, holding Xiu Jie's hand, also looked flawless. The two of them looked quite a match.
"Wow… What happened? Did we see it wrongly? Was it the superfunction of space?"
"No, no, I don't feel the sense of space."
"Where did that car go? How on earth did they do that?"
"Isn't it Peak Squad?"
"Peak Squad?"
"You don't even know Peak? It squeezed to top 20 of Section C in one month after its registration. They select level-SSS missions everyday. No matter how many missions they take, they finish them the same day…"
"…"
The appearance of them alone had caused a tremendous sensation already. When Zhou Zeyu put his car back into the space ring refined by Leng Yehan, it caused a big scene in an instant. Everyone including the guests at the wedding, the guarding soldiers and policemen and the wedding planners hired by the Zhou family looked unbelievably at the place where the car disappeared. Suddenly, Yun Che and his companions were recognized. The atmosphere was pushed to the climax. Even people in the field came out to watch the scene. The sparkling appearance of Yun Che and his companions undoubtedly overshadowed the Zhou family, the wedding host. Zhou Mingyuan and his wife gnashed their teeth with hatred. But they didn't know that was just the beginning.
