Wang Hu remained according to Cao Jing's meaning, honestly booking a table at a mid-range hotel in Nanjing. However, Fang Jie heard about it and was almost furious, insisting on changing the venue to the old Jinling Restaurant. Originally, according to Chen Er Gou and Cao Jing's discussion, there was no need for an emcee to host the wedding or any complicated procedures. But in this matter, Fang Jie seemed more anxious than her own daughter getting married and refused to budge, saying "You can only get married a few times in your life." This sentence made Chen Er Gou swallow all his counterarguments.

  From hiring an emcee to arranging for a wedding car, custom-made wedding dress, and flower girl selection, Fang Jie asked about every detail. She almost invited all the prominent figures in Nanjing's political and business circles, many of whom didn't even know Chen Er Gou or Cao Jing. On the day of the wedding, a luxurious fleet of cars, including Bentleys, Ferraris, Lincolns, Maybachs, and BMWs, drove towards the Jinling Restaurant, making a grand display that almost scared Chen Er Gou and Cao Jing.

  Cao Jing, who had initially thought they could even skip wearing a wedding dress, had to put on the hand-embroidered cheongsam that Fang Jie had specially ordered from Beijing's Ruiqi Xiang. The cheongsam was made of ivory white satin with intricate designs, including a water-drop collar, phoenix buttons, and a fishtail hem. Without her glasses, Cao Jing looked stunning in the dress.

  As soon as they arrived at the Golden Bell Restaurant, they saw a banner that read "Warmly celebrating the wedding of Mr. Chen Fusheng and Ms. Cao Qiujian". Cao Qiujian's already shy face turned bright red with embarrassment, and Chen Fugui couldn't help but smile when he saw it, because those words were clearly written by Chen Ergou. The shameless guy was standing under the banner, admiring his handiwork for a full half minute.

  The grand hall had nearly 20 large tables, almost all of which were filled with guests who had never met Chen Ergou before. Wang Jiefang was one of the emcees, and he thought that except for height, everything else about him surpassed Wang Huren by a big margin. However, when Wang Huren asked to be an emcee as well, he was collectively rejected by everyone.

  Chen Yuanshu was another emcee who had yet to arrive at the hotel, making Chen Ergou somewhat anxious. Chen Qingzhi and Chen Xiangyun were the best man and maid of honor respectively. Wang Huren, who couldn't be an emcee, still wanted to be the best man, but he ended up getting beaten up by Chen Qingzhi for his audacity. Even Wang Jiefang didn't lift a finger to help him, showing just how unpopular Wang Huren was when it came to this wedding.

  The entire hall was waiting patiently for the two protagonists to appear, whispering and discussing among themselves. Their focus was mostly on Mr. Qian, who was sitting at the central table with Wei Gonggong's wife, Fang Jie, laughing and chatting. This Nanjing local emperor, who refused to leave Jiangsu to advance in other provinces, was deeply rooted in Suzhou and Nanjing, unwilling to move an inch. As the saying goes, "Trees are dead when moved, people are alive when moved", but Mr. Qian was content with being deeply rooted in Jiangsu Province and Nanjing City for decades, reaping the rewards of his hard work.

  The Wei family has a group of women who are extremely beautiful and stunning. Zhou Jingyi, the beauty who once captured the hearts of many young masters in Nanjing, is still as charming as ever. Even her daughter, Wei Dongchong, shows signs of surpassing her mother's beauty. With the Wei family's daughters growing up, although the family's fortunes have declined since the death of Old Master Wei, Wei Dongchong alone is enough to captivate people's hearts with her looks.

  Apart from this, the upper-class circle in Nanjing began to cast their eyes on Chen Lin and Jiang's trio, who were wearing camouflage uniforms of a single color. However, their curiosity was due to the shock caused by Chen Fugui and Lin Juxiong's majestic physique, rather than their identity. As no parents or elders from either side of the newlywed couple were present, the worldly-wise crowd began to speculate about this previously rumored marriage, wondering why there wouldn't be a grand gathering with the parents and elders in attendance. Nanjing is not that big, after all, it's just the provincial capital of Jiangsu Province, incomparable to Beijing or Shanghai, where dragons and tigers are hidden. Among these wealthy and noble individuals, even if they experience shocking waves, they rarely risk their lives, and their lives generally rise and fall in a relatively calm and stable manner. How could they possibly have such sharp eyesight that they can see Chen Fugui's trio as fierce as tigers at first glance? After all, people like Zhuge Liang are rare existences.

  "Rich Brother, let's have a few more drinks later?" Wang Hu Zhang, who was particularly impressed by Chen Fugui, sat down next to the big man with a sly and flattering smile, his expression was either thieving or deceitful. Some people are just so pathetic, no matter how sincere they are, they can't win people's favor. Young Master Wang Hu Zhang is undoubtedly one of them. Meanwhile, Jiang Qingdi in the distance was another extreme, he and Lin Juxiong looked at this despicable man who could get close to Rich Brother as if they were looking at a beast.

  Chen Fugui nodded and said: "Let's get Jiefang to join us later and drink together."

  Wang Hu nodded vigorously, and neither did Jiang Qingdi nor Lin Juxiong.

  Chen Ergou stood at the entrance of Jinling Restaurant waiting for Chen Yuanshu, and finally a Maserati appeared in his sight, stopping beautifully with a elegant arc. Besides Chen Yuanshu, who looked relieved, there was another person that Chen Ergou did not expect to see - Zhang Sanqian! This child, who seemed slightly taller than before, still had the same flat head as his uncle, but after spending some time with Old Man Zhuge, he seemed to have a more refined and elegant aura, as if he had acquired some of the old man's mystical energy. Chen Ergou guessed that this was all thanks to Old Man Zhuge. Zhang Sanqian rushed into Chen Ergou's arms with red eyes, and after greeting Chen Yuanshu, Chen Ergou let Zhang Sanqian ride on his neck, laughing: "Good kid, you've grown a lot, probably won't have the chance to ride on my neck again in the future."

  Chen Yuanshu rushed to the hall, dutifully taking on the role of wedding host for the first time in her life. Although the timing was hasty, she was well-prepared, and with Wang Jiefang also putting in a lot of effort, the two made a great team, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively. When Chen Yuanshu announced the arrival of the bride and groom, everyone subconsciously stopped talking, holding their breath. Cao Jingjian, wearing a cheongsam dress with three thousand braids tied up with a purple sandalwood hairpin, was so stunning that even Chen Yuanshu and Chen Fugui were amazed, not to mention Qian Zixiang, an old man who had long been indifferent to feminine charm, couldn't help but secretly sigh at how lucky Cao Jingjian's husband was.

  Apart from this, the temporary flower boy Zhang Sanqian also caused a lot of astonishment. If we say that Zhang Sanqian, who was loved and spoiled by the middle-aged women including the boss's wife at Shanghai Ah Mei restaurant, was still an unpolished jade, then this rough stone from the Zhangjia Village mountains began to shine brightly as soon as it fell into Zhuge Lao's hands. Of course, Chen Ergou also made a huge contribution to this. Wang Huren felt 90% relieved and 10% regretful when he saw this scene, because the child who wore oversized pants and a vest and washed his face and brushed his teeth with Chen Ergou every day had already started growing up.

  Fang Jie gazed at the grand wedding hall, where the lights shone brightly and the guests were having a lively time. Cao Jing was the most stunning bride, wearing the most beautiful cheongsam, while her man might not be the most powerful person in this hotel today, but who knows what the future holds? Fang Jie waited with bated breath, no one could understand why she had taken it upon herself to organize the wedding, she didn't have any ulterior motives, nor did she want Chen Ergou to owe her a favor. She just didn't want Cao Jing and Chen Ergou to end up like her and Wei Duan Gong, who had gotten married without a wedding dress, ring, or even a banquet. Fang Jie didn't regret marrying that ambitious man, nor did she regret the pragmatic divorce, but she couldn't help feeling a lifelong regret for having such a bleak wedding experience. She was also a woman, after all, and knew that a woman who had never worn a wedding dress, no matter how glamorous or proud, would always be left with a great regret.

  "Uncle Fu Gui?" Zhang Sanqian quietly ran to Chen Fugui's side when he had nothing else to do and exclaimed in surprise.

  "Girl?" Jiang Qingdi, who was leaning lazily against the back of his chair observing the audience, shifted all his attention to Zhang Sanqian, and smiled slyly. This kid looked delicate and charming, but had a stubborn air about him, just like seeing a little leopard and couldn't help but tease its tail.

  "Uncle Fu Gui, is he Third Uncle and your friend?" Zhang San Qian carefully asked.

  "Go ahead and beat him up, Rich Uncle will help you if you can't win." Chen Fugui rubbed Zhang Sanqian's head.

  Zhang Sanqian raised his fist at Jiang Qingdi, but didn't actually hit him. Instead, he teased Jiang Qingdi until he burst out laughing and clutched his belly, saying: "Rich Brother, I've taken a liking to this kid."

  "Uncle Fu Gui, it's your turn to speak." Zhang San Qian shouted, originally Chen Yuan Shu said that it was Chen Fu Gui's turn to represent the elder of the Chen family.

  Chen Fugui stepped onto the stage with confidence, his two-meter-tall figure standing out on the platform. His robust physique and masculine features complemented his fearless gaze, which seemed to dare a batch of generals to challenge him. With a casual glance around, he silenced the crowd. This was not a man who wore arrogance on his sleeve or had pride etched on his face, yet he could make the enigmatic Jiang Qingdi and the cunning Lin Juxiong sincerely admire him - and it wasn't because of the two stars on his shoulder.

  "My name is Chen Fugui, a soldier, I lived in Zhangjiakou, Heilongjiang, Northeast China for 27 years, and I have been the brother of Chen Fushe for 27 years."

  An exceptionally brief opening, Chen Fugui didn't even take the microphone from Chen Yuanshu's hand. He glanced sideways at Chen Ergou and Cao Jingjian standing together, saying: "There is an old saying that the elder brother is like a father, I am not worthy of it, but our grandfather has been gone for almost 20 years, and our mother passed away last year. There are only two people left in our family, me and Chen Fusheng. Today, on this grand occasion, I have to say a few sincere words on behalf of our parents. Ergou, also known as Fusheng's nickname, has been called by the villagers for over a decade, and it can't be changed overnight."

  Chen Fugui said this, the whole audience burst into laughter, and Wang Huze, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, even used his chopsticks to knock on the bowl and shouted "Dog brother dog brother", and also brought Zhang Sanqian together to rebel. Downstairs, Jiang Qingdi and Lin Juxiong looked at each other in dismay, while upstairs Chen Ergou scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, Cao Jingyan smiled slyly, turning everything upside down.

  Chen Fugui remained expressionless, as if he didn't find it funny at all, and continued: "Ergou is a good person. Although when we were young, he often stole persimmons and pomegranates, and during school days, he often stood on my shoulders to peek at the widow taking a bath. Later, he also followed me and the whole village to fight with other villages, but Ergou is a good person."

  Laughter became even more uncontrollable.

  It's like hearing a very interesting and hilarious joke.

  It was also the first time that Cao Jing knew about Chen Erdou's glorious history, and she secretly pinched the flesh on his waist, Chen Erdou endured it.

  Chen Fugui said in a low voice: "That child, Sanqian, his mother died in the Egunna River. No one was willing to retrieve her body, but Erdou jumped into the river without saying a word. In our village, there was an old beggar with only one leg who contracted tuberculosis. No one was willing to take care of him, and he was destined to rot to death in bed. But Erdou risked his life to go to the mountains and sell goods to earn money to support him for three years. He even spent his own money to hire two people from outside the village to help carry the coffin when the old beggar died. Our family is poor, so poor that no one could afford a wife two years ago. But being poor doesn't mean you can't be human. Erdou's grandfather always said that living with your head bowed as a human being is better than standing upright like a dog. Erdou is not a dog, he is the backbone of our Chen family. As humans, besides eating, drinking, and excreting, what's most important is breathing. Exhaling is giving up one breath, inhaling is fighting for one breath. What are you laughing at? Who among you has the right to mock Erdou? I, Chen Fugui, am a rough and uneducated man, but today I'm putting my words here: whether you bring good fortune or calamity upon me, I don't care. Just don't harm Erdou. Otherwise, one life for ten lives, if I can't get ten, I'll dig up your ancestors' graves."
