Chapter 187 Table

After a while, two men turned out from the flower garden. One of them looked at Zhou Liwen with a frown when he saw him, while the other one, who was a little older, gave an apology smile, nodded slightly, and then walked past Zhou Liwen.

The episode passed quickly, and I smoked a few cigarettes outside until the banquet hall was quiet. Zhou Liwen knew that the wedding banquet was about to begin. He threw away the cigarette butts and quickly returned to the banquet hall from the side door. At this moment, the lights in the banquet hall had dimmed. Next was the ceremony for the newcomers to enter the venue. Zhou Liwen was half-bent and was about to return to his seat. Zhou Lin saw Zhou Liwen coming back and asked him where he went unhappily. Zhou Liwen smiled and replied that he went out to smoke a cigarette. As soon as he finished speaking, the music of the newcomers entering the venue began to sound.

A couple, the man was wearing black dresses and the woman was wearing white wedding dresses, and walked into the banquet hall amid the melodious music. When they slowly walked to the front stage, the lights were bright, and the whole banquet hall was filled with warm applause and cheers.

As a bridesmaid, Zhou Bei was with the bride at this time, and her parents sat down from the stage, looking at the newcomer on the stage and her dressed daughter with a smile, especially her mother Li Xiaoyuan, with a smile on her lips, and she looked at Zhou Liwen on the side intentionally or unintentionally, not knowing what she was thinking. Zhou Liwen secretly felt funny, moved her chair slightly, turned to look at the stage.

When his eyes swept to the left, Zhou Liwen clearly saw that the two people he had just met were sitting at a table next to them. According to the rules of the wedding banquet, the tables near the main table belonged to the seats of the closest relatives of both men and women. From this point of view, these two people should be relatives and friends who are very close to Jiang Yong, otherwise they would not have sat in this position.

Perhaps Zhou Liwen's eyes were a little longer. The man who had frowned before seemed to notice something. He turned around and saw Zhou Liwen. Zhou Liwen nodded to him with a smile, and then ignored the other party's reaction. He continued to look up on the stage. At this time, it was the time for the new parents to give speeches. The two men stood up at the table, a man of nearly 60 years old and very dignified, quickly walked onto the stage to take the host's microphone and blessing the newcomer in the name of the man's elders.

Zhou Liwen didn't pay attention to this detail in his previous life. To be honest, Zhou Liwen has always been a person who is used to quietness and has never been interested in such lively occasions. In addition, too long has passed, and the memories of the previous ones have been blurred. Today, when the man came to the stage to deliver speeches and blessings, Zhou Liwen's mind immediately flashed through his two conversations. It seems that this man is the Uncle Wang they mentioned.

As the ceremony ended and the wedding banquet officially began, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became more lively. Zhou Liwen secretly looked at the adjacent table out of curiosity, but he didn't see much of the name. However, one thing was strange, that is, most of the man's dozen tables were young people. Unlike the woman, there were few elderly people, and a few of these young people seemed to be familiar with each other, but Zhou Liwen thought about it but couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Mom, what is the brother-in-law doing? Do you know?" Zhou Liwen asked her mother while curious.

Li Xiaoyuan thought about it and shook her head: "I didn't ask about this, I knew that his hometown seemed to be from the capital. However, he went abroad to study many years ago. After graduation, he found a job abroad. He only returned to China a few years ago and worked in a branch in Shanghai. By the way, why are you asking these questions? If you want to know, just ask Xiaoyun."

"It's okay, just ask." Zhou Liwen smiled and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a steak and put it into his mother's bowl: "The steak here is very good, mom, try it."

Because there are many guests, the newlyweds went upstairs to change their clothes and did not sit down for dinner after they came down, and they started to toast directly. At this time, Zhou Liwen discovered another strange thing, that is, the women's tables were very normal and very lively. Even when they met some relatives who were close to each other, their peers often made fun of each other and wanted to drink the newlyweds' wine. Even the bride had to play tricks when lighting cigarettes for people. They played tricks like blowing and blowing. It would definitely not be finished if a cigarette was not lighted for a few minutes.

When the man's tables were at the tables, the atmosphere was very strange. It seemed not like a newcomer toast, but rather like welcoming the leader to inspect. Except for the two tables closest to the main table, the rest of the newcomers stood up every time they arrived at one table, and no one took the initiative to pour wine into the newcomers. Even if the newcomers took the initiative to toast, they would always be polite. As for the occasion of lighting cigarettes, it was just as ordinary as usual, and no trick was useful.

Looking at this scene with fun, Zhou Liwen seemed to notice something, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that her brother-in-law was not simple, and maybe some things she never paid attention to or knew about.

The wedding banquet started at 7:30 pm and lasted for more than two hours. At nearly 10 o'clock, the guests who attended the wedding banquet gradually dispersed. Since the hotel sent a suite as a new house for the newlyweds, relatives and friends who were going to have a wedding room went upstairs directly. As the bridesmaid, Zhou Bei certainly would not miss this fun thing. Because her parents wanted to chat with her uncle's family, several relatives even made an appointment to hold a room in the hotel to play cards and other things. In this way, Zhou Liwen didn't have to send them back. Before leaving, she greeted the newlyweds, and then Zhou Liwen went to the parking lot to pick up the car home.

The car had just driven out of the Garden Hotel and headed west to Xiafei Road not long after passing the consulate area. About 300 meters, Zhou Liwen suddenly saw a car jumping in double jumping against the side of the road. There was a man standing in front of the car, lowering his head as if he was looking at some part of the car body.

At first, Zhou Liwen didn't pay attention. This situation happened a lot on the road every day. Maybe something went wrong with the other party's car, but when his car passed by, he saw clearly that the person who got off the car was actually one of the two men he met at the wedding banquet before.

Zhou Liwen slowly parked the car in front of them, got out and walked backwards.

"What happened? Need help?"

"The tires explode...Huh! Why are you?"

Hearing the voice, he turned to look at Zhou Liwen, and the other party recognized Zhou Liwen after saying a half sentence. The person standing in front of the car was the one who frowned at Zhou Liwen before.

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Zhou Liwen nodded and smiled, "Hello, it's me, your tires are blown up? Which tire?"

"I don't know what I encountered with the left front tire, but fortunately the car was not fast at that time." The man stretched out his feet to kick the front tire on the left, with a hint of anger in his words.

At this time, another person got out of the car, and this person was the other man who smiled apologized to Zhou Liwen. He came to Zhou Liwen and greeted Zhou Liwen politely, then apologized that they only know how to drive and don’t change tires. Fortunately, they met Zhou Liwen, otherwise they would have to call to find a trailer.

"You are not outsiders. You are the groom's friend. I am the bride's cousin. Everyone is also their own. Besides, I happened to pass by, it's a simple task. By the way, do you have a spare tire in your car? Let's take a look at the spare tire first." Zhou Liwen said with a smile, then asked the other party to open the trunk and find the spare tire.

But unexpectedly, although there is a spare tire, it is also flat if it is not maintained. It doesn’t work if it is replaced. Moreover, there is no tool for the other party’s car or Zhou Liwen’s car. Looking at the unusable spare tire, the other party’s face looked extremely ugly.

"Let's call. Brother Jian, you have to catch a plane later. Call it for a taxi first. I'll stay here for the trailer." The frowning man said to the older one.

"This..." Brother Jian seemed a little hesitant and could not make a decision for a while.

Just as they were discussing what to do, Zhou Liwen walked around the car and then made a suggestion: "Don't call a tow truck. I've seen it. Your car is the same as mine. Just have a new spare tire in my car. Just change the two tires, it's very simple."

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Brother Jian said quickly.

"It's okay, they are all friends, just a spare tire." Zhou Liwen smiled and waved his hand, took off his coat and greeted the two of them: "Everything, don't you stand, don't you still have to catch a plane? Come and help with the help!"

The two looked at each other, smiled and helped Zhou Liwen move the spare tire in his car to Zhou Liwen's car, and then moved Zhou Liwen's spare tire over.

Someone helped, but it took only ten minutes to change the tire. Put the jack in place, Zhou Liwen kicked the tire with his feet a few times and said satisfied: "Okay, it's okay. But tomorrow it's better to change the original tire and then replace the spare tire. This spare tire can only be used temporarily and cannot run frequently, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident."

"Thank you, thank you so much." Brother Jian was about to shake hands with Zhou Liwen, but Zhou Liwen smiled and raised his dark hands and shook his head: "I mean, just shake hands for a while, it's not good to get oil from your hands."

Brother Jian was stunned and laughed loudly, greeted his partner and said, "Xiaojun, take a bottle of water in the car to wash the brother's hands."

The three of them stood and chatted for a few words. After washing their hands, Zhou Liwen asked them to leave first to avoid delaying the flight. The other party politely thanked Zhou Liwen for a few words, and then got on the bus and headed towards the airport.

"I didn't expect this person to be Xiaoyong's brother-in-law. Haha, the world is so small." In the car, Brother Jian recalled the scene of his miserable behavior in the hotel before, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "I thanked him just now, otherwise your car would definitely not be able to drive tonight."

"This person is pretty good, quite enthusiastic." Xiaojun nodded and said, "And this person should have some background. It seems that the wife Xiaoyong is looking for is not as simple as it seems."

"How do you say this?" Brother Jian asked in confusion.

Xiaojun smiled and said, "Did you pay attention to the watch on his hand just now?"

"Check?" Brother Jian frowned and thought for a while.

"Haha, it's normal for you to not pay attention, but the business I'm doing is much more sensitive to this aspect than ordinary people. I just noticed the watch on his hand. Let me tell you the truth, the price of that watch can buy several such cars. You said, can people who usually wear a watch worth millions be simple?"

"So expensive? You guy didn't miss it, right?" Brother Jian was shocked.

"I'm confused? It's absolutely impossible! If you don't believe it, I'll find the same table to verify it for you another day?"

After hearing Xiaojun's answer, Brother Jian stopped talking for a while. As Xiaojun said, can a person wearing a watch worth millions be a simple person?
