Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 770 - This Wedding Has Another Purpose

Chapter 770: This Wedding Has Another Purpose

Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng, “Would he be agitated and do something stupid?”

“I won’t.”

Actually, when they received the invitation from Xiao Li, Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng were confused and a little angry. In their impression, Xiao Li had always been a good woman. Such an action was simply trampling on Zhuang Long’s dignity.

This did not seem like something Xiao Li would do.

In fact, everyone was secretly guessing if Xiao Li was planning to do something at the wedding...

According to Fang Yusheng’s understanding, the guests invited to Xiao Li’s wedding were all famous big shots in various fields internationally. The daughter of the Lawson family and the Best Actor were getting married. As the first daughter of the Lawson family to marry an outsider in history, Xiao Li’s marriage was highly anticipated.

Not only did she not avoid suspicion, she even invited people of status to the wedding.

What did she want to do?

“I keep feeling that Xiao Li still has feelings for Zhuang Long.” Qiao Jiusheng was a woman. She understood Xiao Li, and the feeling Xiao Li gave her was not the kind of person who could change her heart easily. Qiao Jiusheng felt that Xiao Li was the same type of person as her. Her appearance and style looked unrestrained, but once her heart was moved, it would not change easily.

Fang Yusheng did not reply. He looked at Zhuang Long’s angry back view thoughtfully.

The people who received Xiao Li’s wedding invitation, especially her and Zhuang Long’s mutual friend, felt troubled. If they went to this wedding, it would be a slap to Zhuang Long’s face. If they did not go, it would be awkward if they met Xiao Li in the future. Should they go or not?

Fang Yusheng and the rest could not make up their minds, so they discussed it with Yan Nuo and the rest.

Yan Nuo’s answer was—

Go.

Like Fang Yusheng and the rest, they all felt that there might be something fishy about this wedding. Xiao Li did not seem like the narrow-minded type who would deliberately send an invitation to Zhuang Long’s close friend to attend the wedding so that she could humiliate Zhuang Long. She must have her own considerations for doing this.

After deciding, Fang Yusheng and the rest were relieved.

At the thought that he was staying behind to attend Xiao Li’s wedding, Fang Yusheng felt guilty when he faced Zhuang Long. Hence, he brought his wife and children to his residence. Zhuang Long did not send them off this time. He stood behind the study window on the third floor and pulled open the curtain. He watched as the car that escorted Fang Yusheng and the rest drove out of the manor.

Only when the car was out of sight did Zhuang Long put down the curtain in his hand dejectedly.

He walked behind the desk and looked at it quietly, not moving for a long time.

...

In the middle of June, the weather was very hot, and the afternoon was even hotter.

Zhuang Long was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and sports pants. He went next door and knocked on Uncle Jimmy’s door. Uncle Jimmy personally opened the door and was a little surprised to see Zhuang Long. “Ah Long? What’s the matter?”

“The weather is good today,” Zhuang Long said.

Jimmy looked up at the big sun hanging high in the sky and hummed softly.

“It’s not bad.”

Zhuang Long pointed at the car behind him and said to Uncle Jimmy, “Let’s go fishing.”

...

Uncle Jimmy said, “Wait a moment. I still have some work to do. A few minutes.” Uncle Jimmy turned into the house and did not close the door. Zhuang Long had nothing to do anyway, so he followed him into the courtyard. He saw Uncle Jimmy enter the house and pass through the dining room as if he had entered the kitchen.

After a while, Zhuang Long, who was standing in the courtyard, heard the sound of dishes colliding in the kitchen.

He was surprised.

Zhuang Long walked into his house and glanced at the kitchen. He saw that the big and dignified uncle was actually wearing a pink apron and washing the dishes.

Men always looked feminine in pink, but not Uncle Jimmy.

Zhuang Long saw a gentleness that only men had.

This was a man from the Gu family. He loved his wife and his family deeply. When he wore pink, it made him look even more charming. Zhuang Long looked at him a few more times, and after a while, Uncle Jimmy finished washing the dishes.

He took off his apron and washed his hands. When he turned around and saw Zhuang Long staring at him, Uncle Jimmy did not feel embarrassed.

He shook his still wet hands and smiled at him. “Rachel cooks at our house. I wash the dishes.”

Zhuang Long nodded and said, “Not bad.”

In this world with many women and men, men who could find a wife were all lucky. If they had a wife, they naturally had to dote on her. Zhuang Long thought of himself, who was doing everything he could, and felt ashamed. Uncle Jimmy went to the tool room to find fishing tools, and followed Zhuang Long into his car.

Zhuang Long drove. Their destination was still Lake Neil.

There were always small boats moored by the lake. The two of them found a small boat that looked relatively new. Zhuang Long was in charge of the oars, and Uncle Jimmy started to tie food to the hook.

They moored the boat on a distributary river in Lake Neil. The river was lined with trees on both sides and looked cool. Uncle Jimmy threw out the fishing hook and put the fisherman’s hat on his head. He said, “I hope I can catch a few delicious fish and roast them tonight.”

Zhuang Long thought about that scene and yearned for it. “Do you mind bringing me along?”

Uncle Jimmy smiled especially happily as if he had heard a joke.

“Of course you can if you want,” Jimmy said proudly. “My grilled fish tastes delicious.”

“Is that so?”

When they were fishing, neither of them spoke much.

Uncle Jimmy sat on a chair and took a nap. Zhuang Long sat on the boat. He threw fish food into the river from time to time and saw groups of small fish swimming over while wagging their tails. There was not much fish food, so they fought over it.

Zhuang Long watched quietly, finding it interesting.

This was how fish were. No matter how much fish food you threw, they would always be like a group of hungry lunatics who would snatch it wantonly.

They were lucky today to have returned with a full load.

After agreeing to go to Uncle Jimmy’s house to eat grilled fish at night, Zhuang Long returned home, took a shower, changed into more casual clothes, and went next door to take over the house.

When he arrived, Uncle Jimmy had already set up a barbecue pit.

A few fish had already been gutted, and Rachel was applying seasoning to the fish under Uncle Jimmy’s instructions. Zhuang Long walked over and asked Uncle Jimmy, “What can I help with?” His hands were suitable for dealing with various instruments and test tubes in the research room, but he was not good at cooking.

Uncle Jimmy glanced at him disdainfully and snorted. He said, “The only thing you can do is try to praise the taste when you eat the fish later.”

“That’s easy.”

Zhuang Long sat at the side like a giant baby, waiting to be fed.

An hour later, Zhuang Long ate the fish that Uncle Jimmy personally roasted.

It was especially delicious, so delicious that people could not forget it.
