He looked at the old man and asked, "You won't arrange another wedding for me, will you?"
The old man smiled and said: "Don't worry, there won't be such a beautiful job anymore."
When Xiao Fan heard this, his face was filled with dark thoughts: "What do you mean by what you said? Why do I feel like you are trying to trick me?"
"How could it be possible?" The old man said with a smile: "We have been friends for so many years, do you think I have ever cheated you?"
"Are you cheating enough?" Xiao Fan looked at him with a dark look.
The old man laughed and said: "Let those things of the past be in the past. Don't mention them again. You can go with peace of mind. I won't cheat you."
Xiao Fan glanced at him: "Okay, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he turned around and went down the mountain.
The old man looked at Xiao Fan's leaving figure with a smile on his face.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Xiao Fan returned to Jianghai City again.
He took one look at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, turned around and prepared to take a taxi directly to Tiansheng Hotel, where Ye Qingxue and the others held their wedding.
About half an hour later, he arrived outside Tiansheng Hotel.
He saw that a long red carpet had been laid out outside the hotel entrance, and there were some staff on both sides arranging flower baskets and so on.
Xiao Fan looked at the time and saw that the wedding would only start in an hour.
"Xiao Fan?" A voice suddenly came from behind.
Xiao Fan turned around when he heard the voice and saw that the person coming was Ye Wenxin.
"Long time no see." He looked at Ye Wenxin and smiled lightly.
Ye Wenxin smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to come. I thought you wouldn't come."
Xiao Fan turned his head and glanced at the hotel over there, with a helpless smile on his lips.
"You... still like Qingxue?" Ye Wenxin looked at him and tried to ask.
Xiao Fan turned back to look at her and smiled: "It's all over. Now I just hope she can be happy."
"She..." Ye Wenxin's face was a little complicated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Fan asked in confusion.
Ye Wenxin smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing."
Xiao Fan felt a little strange when he saw her like this: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Ye Wenxin smiled lightly: "No, let's go. I'll take you to the cafe over there to sit. It will take a while before you can enter."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Xiao Fan glanced at her and followed her.
After a while, the two came to a coffee shop.
They chose a seat by the window and sat down.
Xiao Fan saw that Ye Wenxin seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you afraid of suffocating yourself if you hold it in like this?"
Ye Wenxin sighed: "Let me tell you the truth, there was actually a reason why Qingxue wanted to bring me and you together at that time."
"What's the reason?" Xiao Fan asked.
Ye Wenxin said: "She was diagnosed with a terminal illness in the hospital at that time, and she only had less than three months left, so..."
"Terminally ill? But she is not now..." Xiao Fan was confused, she was obviously fine now.
Ye Wenxin smiled bitterly: "Maybe it was God's trick. Later, she went to check twice more and found out that the previous one was a misdiagnosis."
Xiao Fan's face was filled with black lines. He wished he could go and beat up that quack doctor right now. If he doesn't know how to treat a doctor, why don't he treat people blindly? He already mentioned the terminal illness...
Ye Wenxin said: "Later, she and I went to the village at the foot of your mountain to look for you. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the way up the mountain and had to go back to Jianghai City. In addition, something happened to her family later.
In the end, she had no choice but to choose to marry Zhang Xiaohua."
"Then how did she send the invitation to the mountain?" Xiao Fan was puzzled.
Ye Wenxin said: "I happened to meet your junior sister at the foot of your mountain, and she took us up together."
Xiao Fan asked: "You just said that she had no choice but to marry that man? What's going on?"
"This..." Ye Wenxin's face was a little complicated.
After hesitating for a while, she said: "Qingxue told me not to tell you. I can't break my promise to her."
"Did Zhang Xiaohua use some means to force her to submit? If so, I can help." Xiao Fan said.
Ye Wenxin shook her head: "No, Qingxue did it voluntarily."
"Then why do you say she had no choice?" Xiao Fan was confused.
Ye Wenxin smiled bitterly: "If she didn't have to do it, how could she marry a man she didn't love at all?"
"Where is she now?" Xiao Fan asked.
Ye Wenxin looked at her: "She said, you don't need to ask her, she won't tell you."
Xiao Fan: "That man really didn't use any means to force her?"
Ye Wenxin nodded: "I can tell you the truth, it's true."
Xiao Fan: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions. She can just think about it herself."
Although he wanted to help Ye Qingxue, since she had already made her own choice, it was hard for him as an outsider to get involved.
"Actually... I think Qingxue still likes you." Ye Wenxin looked at him and said.
When Xiao Fan heard this, his hands paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised with a smile: "Let the past go by, there is no need to mention it again."
Ye Wenxin looked at him with a complicated expression. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"By the way, aren't you her best friend? Why didn't she let you be her bridesmaid?" Xiao Fan looked at Ye Wenxin and asked.
Ye Wenxin smiled bitterly: "She said before that if she got married, she would definitely let me be her bridesmaid to witness her happiness, but she knew that this marriage would not be happy, so she didn't let me be her bridesmaid."
Xiao Fan said nothing when he heard this, because he no longer knew how to describe his current mood.
After the two of them sat here for almost half an hour, Ye Wenxin looked at the time and said, "It's almost time to enter, let's go."
With that said, the two got up and left the coffee shop.
When they arrived at the hotel's entrance, many people were already entering one after another.
Ye Wenxin and Xiao Fan walked in together.
After arriving inside, Ye Wenxin took Xiao Fan to a round table in front and sat down.
From this place you can clearly see the wedding platform in front.
Xiao Fan looked at a huge wedding photo placed in front of him. The man in the photo was wearing a pair of glasses and looked elegant.
Although Ye Qingxue next to her also had a smile on her face, Xiao Fan saw a hint of sadness in her eyes.
At this time, the wedding officiant came on stage.
Xiao Fan listened to him talking about the past of the bride and groom, and his heart seemed to feel stabbed.
It was almost time at last, and the emcee looked at the door outside with a smile on his face: "Let us welcome the bride and groom with warm applause!"
Xiao Fan turned around and looked. The hotel door opened, and Ye Qingxue, wearing a wedding dress, walked in from the door with Zhang Xiaohua on her arm...
