Chapter 899: Chapter 889: Little Tang... Got Dumped
The next day happened to be Saturday. Su Qing took Shen Yi and the two of them arrived at the wedding venue right on time at 11:30.
The place where Lao Wang and Feng Yan were getting married was a hotel in East City District.
As soon as the two of them reached downstairs, the groom, Lao Wang, ran out to greet them.
"President Shen, little President Su, you two finally made it. Come, come, come, let’s go inside and talk, I saved seats for you," Lao Wang said with a grin.
Hearing this, Shen Yi, arm in arm with Su Qing, smiled and nodded. "No need to be so polite, groom. You and Feng Yan have both been with me from the start. You followed me from the capital all the way to Jiang City, so you could say your wish has come true. As for the red envelope, I’m not giving it, he is!"
As she spoke, Shen Yi pointed at Su Qing beside her.
"But of course, you two are already engaged, so it’s definitely one gift from both of you!" Lao Wang laughed loudly.
At this, Su Qing waved his hand. "Cut the crap. Don’t ’President this, President that’. You and I talk as just us, nothing to do with her. I really didn’t see it coming, but you’re actually looking pretty sharp today!"
Right now Lao Wang was completely different from his usual scruffy, stubbly look. He was freshly groomed, in a sharp, well-fitted suit. You had to admit, today there was something a bit handsome about him.
"Well, he’s the groom, how could he not be handsome?" Shen Yi laughed.
Talking as they walked, the two of them followed Lao Wang into the hotel and up to the third floor.
They were then arranged at a table near the front. When they arrived, almost everyone at the table stood up to greet them. Nothing strange about that—this table was full of managers from various departments of the company.
The cries of "President Shen, President Su" were nonstop. In the end, Shen Yi had to press down her hand and say that today everyone was just friends, there was no superior-subordinate relationship, only then did this table settle down.
"You stay here, I’m going to check out the other tables."
Su Qing spoke, and before Shen Yi could answer, he ran straight off to sit at a table toward the back.
"What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you know Lao Wang?" Su Qing asked.
Hearing this, Wang Xing took a sip of his cold drink and smiled. "What, you can come but I can’t? Besides, even though I’ve already left the company, I did work there for a while. Knowing a few people is pretty normal, right? I took care of Da Huang a lot back when it was at the company, so of course I know Lao Wang."
Su Qing: ...
This was actually the first time he’d heard that Wang Xing and Lao Wang knew each other.
"Honestly, we’re just average friends, just happen to know each other. Plus, Miaomiao was invited over by Manager Feng. I’m basically just bringing a 200-yuan red envelope, grabbing a free meal, and joining in the fun!" Seeing his expression, Wang Xing couldn’t help explaining.
Hearing that, Su Qing rolled his eyes at him. "You’ve really got time on your hands. Weren’t you saying you were going to study hard and get ready for the civil service exam?"
"The exam doesn’t hinge on this one day. Besides, I’ve got last year’s foundation. It’s not that hard for me to pick it back up. I even signed up for a six-thousand-yuan course. I’ve been studying for this long already, I gotta let myself relax a bit, right?"
Half a month ago, when Su Qing had just gone to the capital, Wang Xing had enrolled in a cram course, planning a final sprint, hoping to make it ashore this year.
When he heard about it, Su Qing just shook his head. He was sure this bastard Lao Wang wouldn’t last long in that class, because the whole "Lin Miaomiao is pregnant" thing was about to blow up. Once he got the news, how could he still have the heart to study? Hustling for money would be the only proper path.
A big chunk of a man’s drive to make money comes from women, then from parents and family, and only lastly from himself.
If it’s just for himself, most men actually don’t have that much drive to earn big. As long as there’s enough to spend, that’s good enough.
"You really have nerves of steel. Where’s Miaomiao and that social boss babe?"
"How’d you know Sun Mumu came too?"
"Duh, where there’s a crouching dragon, there’s always a young phoenix. Those two are like conjoined twins. If you hadn’t cut in, believe it or not, those two girlfriends would probably still be having the time of their lives together right now!"
Wang Xing: ...
"They went to the bathroom. Miaomiao’s been feeling a bit unwell these last two days."
"And you still haven’t taken her to the hospital?"
"I said we should go, she won’t go. I’m so worried my hair’s falling out in clumps!"
Hearing that, Su Qing couldn’t help giving him a thumbs up. Truly a damn talent. But he still couldn’t straight-up tell him she was pregnant; otherwise there’d be no way to explain how he knew.
"By the way, you punk slipped off and got engaged quietly, but you still owe us a meal. Don’t forget. Relax, when you get married, Da Qiang, Skinny Dog and I will all be your groomsmen," Wang Xing said with a grin.
In this kind of setting, it was natural for conversations to drift toward marriage.
"Relax, you won’t miss out on that meal. When Skinny Dog comes back next month, we’ll all get together. As for groomsmen, that’s really not necessary. I don’t go in for that kind of show."
As they were talking, the emcee had already taken the stage. The ceremony began.
Soon, those two hidden bosses, Lin Miaomiao and Sun Mumu, came back as well.
"You okay? I heard from Lao Wang you weren’t feeling well?" Su Qing asked.
Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao immediately said, "I’m fine, just a bit nauseous, no appetite."
"Wang Xing, you hear that? What kind of boyfriend are you, not even taking Miaomiao to the hospital?" Sun Mumu said, a bit displeased.
At that, Su Qing chimed in quickly, "Exactly, Lao A, this really isn’t on you. But, seriously, nausea, no appetite... you sure you haven’t been hit?"
Hearing this, Wang Xing and Lin Miaomiao looked at each other, their expressions both freezing for a second, as if something had occurred to them.
"No... no way, right?"
"Maybe you really do need to go to the hospital and check. Alright, you guys talk, I’m heading back. Let’s find a time for the few of us to get together in private."
With that, Su Qing stood up and left. For something like this, just giving them a heads-up was enough. He couldn’t say more. Once they went to the hospital, they’d naturally find out.
Their table was very quiet, everyone just quietly watching the stage, watching Feng Yan in her pure white wedding dress standing up there. Shen Yi unconsciously clung tighter to his arm, a bit full of longing.
In just a few months, the two of them would reach this step too. You had to admit, it was a bit nerve-wracking, but even more so, something to look forward to.
Then, at the emcee’s call, Da Huang trotted out with a little flower basket in his mouth, and inside it were the wedding rings.
There was also a big red flower on Da Huang’s back, with the word "Matchmaker" written on it.
When he walked past Su Qing and Shen Yi, Da Huang even nodded to the two of them, then swaggered up the stage with that "I don’t recognize any relatives" strut.
Amid the guests’ exclamations, Da Huang burrowed under the bridesmaid sister’s dress. Thankfully he was a dog; if it had been a groomsman, this would’ve counted as wedding harassment.
Seeing this, Su Qing could only lower his head. He couldn’t bear to watch, just couldn’t. Too embarrassing.
Half an hour flew by, and at twelve the ceremony ended and the banquet officially began. True to his word, Lao Wang really did give Da Huang his own table, right next to Su Qing’s. They set up a little short table and even assigned two brothers who don’t drink to sit with him.
They really put everyone who couldn’t drink at the same table as the dog. Even the wedding videographer came over and shot several takes before leaving.
Hotel banquets, while they look grand, lack a bit of atmosphere. After just half an hour, people started leaving in dribs and drabs.
By one in the afternoon, more than half the guests had gone.
"Alright, Lao Wang, it’s your big day today, no need to see us out. We’re going to head back first," Su Qing said with a smile.
"Alright then, you and President Shen drive safe!"
"I know, don’t worry." With that, Su Qing gave Da Huang next to him a smack. "Stop eating. Grab a pork knuckle to-go before we leave."
Da Huang: "Woof woof woof." [My pork knuckle! Just you wait till you get married, see if I don’t make you lose face!]
Su Qing: ...
Ha, he even dared to threaten him. Su Qing was so annoyed he really wanted to stuff that half pork knuckle straight into the dog’s mouth and block it.
"Stop eating, or you’ll burst later!" After saying that, Su Qing tugged Da Huang and waved to Lao Wang. "We’re off, see you at the office!"
"Got it. When you and President Shen get married, my wife and I will definitely be there!"
Su Qing nodded, then took Da Huang to the car. Shen Yi had long been waiting outside.
They brought Da Huang, who’d been out running wild for several days, back home. They’d barely been in the house ten minutes when the living room doorbell rang.
He opened the door and saw it was actually the landlady, with her daughter in tow, and behind them was Tang Nan, crying so hard she could barely catch her breath.
"What’s going on?" Hearing the noise, Shen Yi hurried over to ask.
The landlady pursed her lips, holding back a smile, and said:
"Little Tang... got dumped."
