"Dong Lai, Yu Tong, are you just going to leave and leave me and Xiao Yu in Jiangcheng?" Heizi said reluctantly.
"Heizi, I'll go back and explore first to see what can be developed in our small county. If I find a way out, I'll ask you to invest together and we can build our hometown together." After so many years in Jiangcheng, Pei Donglai has always felt that this is not home. , although he only went back temporarily, he didn't know whether he would be able to come back in the future, and he felt unsure.
"Brother, I think you and Yutong should stay in Jiangcheng. After all, your career is here, and Yutong also has a hotel here. It's more suitable to stay here." Bai Xiaoran was reluctant to leave.
"That's right. Once my father's matter is cleared up and the real culprit is caught, I will take my mother to Jiangcheng. You better not leave." Li Zixuan was also trying to persuade her to stay.
Everyone tried to persuade the two of them with words and words. Pei Donglai sighed, how good it is to have such a group of friends. When he is bored, he can give himself joy and happiness. When it is critical, he can stand up and he can't bear to leave here. , let alone a group of good friends.
But the current situation is still a bit complicated. After Cao Geqing was wanted by the police, his property was frozen. He must have been driven crazy. With his abnormal heart, he would definitely carry out crazy revenge. He was very worried about Zhang Yutong, although he would still be there if he returned to his hometown. It's dangerous, but after all, Cao Geqing is not familiar with the situation in County B. Even if he makes moves, the difficulty will be greatly increased.
"Everyone, don't try to stay. Maybe we will come back. Goodbye."
At every banquet in the world, there is always a time to say goodbye. Pei Donglai stood up, bowed deeply to everyone, and then rushed to the airport with Zhang Yutong.
After returning to his hometown, it was almost the Chinese New Year. Pei Donglai took Zhang Yutong's hand and said, "Yutong, let's get married."
"Didn't the date be set for May? Why was it brought forward?"
"Let's apply for a marriage certificate first. I'm afraid you'll run away. I don't want to be single during the Chinese New Year this year."
"Haha, let me think about it."
"Don't think about it anymore, the night is long and there are many dreams." Pei Donglai pulled Zhang Yutong to the government affairs hall. Within a few minutes, two red notebooks appeared in front of them.
"Dong Lai, I think it's such a loss. I got married with nothing. My mother will be unhappy."
"Didn't I give you a child? Haha, don't be too greedy."
Zhang Yutong chased Pei Donglai and said, "That's a gift from me, not from you."
"Okay, after the wedding, let's go traveling."
In the blink of an eye, it was almost May, and the day for the two to get married was getting closer. Pei Donglai brought Zhang Yutong's mother and Zhang Yufei to live in County B in advance.
"Lao Pei, your place is pretty good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters."
"Yufei, don't call me Lao Pei Lao Pei from now on. Be polite and call me brother-in-law," Zhang Yutong said with a big belly.
"Sister, you two are not married yet, and you are so eager to help him. I won't yell, and we will talk about it later."
Zhang's mother also likes it here very much. It is her first time to come to such a small county town. She feels that the air here is very good and the environment is good. After living here for a while, her spirit has improved.
The wedding of the two was scheduled for May 1st. On the 29th day of the Western lunar month, Li Yunfeng and Heizi arrived with a group of friends from Jiangcheng, as well as many colleagues from the law firm.
Julie also came, which surprised Pei Donglai. After Lin Xiaojie and Chen Jian were arrested one after another, she suffered a lot and became very haggard. Before, she was a beautiful young woman who still had charm, but now she has become like a vicissitudes of life. middle-aged woman.
"Dong Lai, Mr. Zhu contacted me and she insisted on coming with us," Heizi explained.
"It's okay. Julie is also my friend. I'm very happy that she can come."
The next day, Jiang Wen and Ye Xiaolan also arrived from Beijing, as did Liu Sibei and his brother Liu Siquan.
When he was collecting the money, Heizi said: "Donglai, Gardenia asked me to bring this to you. She can't come, so let me say I'm sorry for her."
Pei Donglai felt something was wrong. Since Gardenia knew about her marriage, Cao Geqing must have known about it too.
"Heizi, when did you contact Gardenia?" Pei Donglai became a little scared.
"A week ago, what happened?"
"Is she still with Cao Geqing now?"
"Yeah, I didn't think of this at the time. Wait until I ask." Heizi took out his phone and dialed.
A few minutes later, Heizi smiled and said to Pei Dong, "Don't worry, Donglai. I've asked Gardenia. She broke up with Cao Geqing a long time ago. She also said that she would try her best to come to your wedding."
One moment he couldn't tell, and the next moment he said he would try his best to come. Pei Donglai was a little doubtful whether what Gardenia said was true.
Because there were too many trivial matters, Pei Donglai quickly forgot about it. He just told Heizi, Li Yunfeng, and Bao Desheng to be on guard against tomorrow's wedding to see if there was anyone suspicious.
The next day, the wedding was held as usual. The wedding of the two was in accordance with the local customs of County B. Since Jiangcheng was too far away and it was winter, after discussion, the two families decided not to go to Jiangcheng to pick up the bride. The hotel where he stayed first took Zhang Yutong to Pei Dong's home.
Last night, Zhang Yutong went back to the hotel with her family to stay. Early this morning, Pei Donglai took her home and then everyone went to the hotel to have dinner. The basic wedding process was over, very simple.
At the wedding, Pei Donglai carefully guarded Zhang Yutong. Gardenia's money made him feel a little uneasy.
In the end, Pei Donglai didn't see Gardenia either. After about three hours, the guests gradually left, leaving only a group of friends from Jiangcheng. Pei Donglai breathed a sigh of relief and finally passed the test safely.
"Come on, everyone, keep drinking." Pei Donglai walked towards everyone with a bottle of liquor.
"Donglai, I'm waiting for you, hurry up," Li Yunfeng said.
After sitting down, Pei Donglai toasted everyone first. Since he had drank some just now, Pei Donglai was a little confused after walking around.
At this time, Bai Xiaoran handed over a cup of dark brown stuff. It looked a bit like cola, smelled strongly of alcohol, had a few oil beads floating on it, and had some red pepper in it.
"I don't want to drink this thing." Pei Donglai looked at this strange thing and was a little scared.
"Dong Lai, I bet you won't get married again in the future. If you get married in the future, drink it next time. If not, drink it now," Li Yunfeng joked.
"Li Yunfeng, I didn't do anything bad when your kid got married. I really regret it now."
"Haha, if you have a chance in the future, hurry up and we won't do it. With this one cup, you won't be able to drink it again."
Everyone was making noises, and Pei Donglai couldn't bear to drink. Finally, he had no choice but to close his eyes and finish it in one breath.
In an instant, Pei Donglai's stomach was churning. He stumbled to the bathroom and squirted out. The smell was so disgusting.
Suddenly, Pei Donglai felt a stinging pain and his body felt a little cold. Gradually, he became weak and fell next to the sink...
