Chapter 177: Chapter 176: What a Pity



"Zhao Gang…"

Zhang Hui raised her head and saw a man walk in. Her pretty face instantly turned pale, and at the same time, her heart trembled slightly.

She hadn't seen Zhao Gang for a long time, and she thought that she had put that relationship behind her.

But at this moment, she realized that this relationship was still deeply imprinted in her memory.

At the same time, there was a panic in her heart that arose from the possibility of her wedding being interrupted, which could cause a great disruption.

A while ago, she had invited Zhao Gang.

She had thought that Zhao Gang might come.

But, she had not expected that Zhao Gang would interrupt her wedding under such circumstances.

Unlike her attitude a while ago, she had already adjusted to her current boyfriend during this period. Her current boyfriend came from an uncommon family background. She was afraid that this incident would make both sides' families lose face, make a lot of people laugh, and even affect her in-laws' opinion of her after their marriage…

Zhao Gang?

Could it be Zhang Hui's ex-boyfriend?

Hearing Zhang Hui whispering, the bridesmaids at Zhang Hui's side were all slightly taken aback.

Most of them were Zhang Hui's close friends, many of whom knew about Zhang Hui's ex-boyfriend. They knew that Zhang Hui's ex-boyfriend was named Zhao Gang, but they had not seen him often.

"Is that Lin Yun? Is he with Zhao Gang?"

At this moment, one of the bridesmaids at Zhang Hui's side saw the person next to Zhao Gang and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Zhao Gang, she had heard of him and seen him – a small-time fruit seller.

Birds of a feather flock together, a vegetable seller and a fruit seller, seemed like they were friends?

This woman was Yan Lee.

Today was her close friend's big day, and Zhao Gang's sudden appearance interrupting the wedding had already upset her greatly. The appearance of Lin Yun made her even more repelled.

In her view, people like Zhao Gang and Lin Yun could not recognize their place.

They're like toads in a well trying to eat swan meat.

The two words that could describe them were selfish.

If one truly loves a girl, shouldn't they bless her when she finds her own happiness?

Now that he has come to interrupt her wedding, what does this mean?

Would it really be good for the girl he loved to suffer hardship and exhaustion with him?

"That's Lin Yun?"

"It's actually him!"

"Lin Yun came with someone to interrupt this wedding, what's happening?"

There were also people who, upon seeing Lin Yun, expressed their surprise.

Most of these people had seen Lin Yun and Secretary Zhu having a conflict at Wangxian Tower, some of them were even the officials by Secretary Zhu's side. At this moment, these people's expressions changed continuously as they looked at Lin Yun.

"Who would have thought that something like this would happen at this wedding, now things are getting interesting …"

"Is this a wedding crash or something, haha…"

"This man doesn't look that impressive, could this be a scenario of a girlfriend abandoning her loser boyfriend to marry into a rich and powerful family, and now, the loser boyfriend is coming to crash the wedding…"

However, most people were very interested in watching the excitement.

They didn't have much connection with the bride and groom, so they preferred to watch the drama rather than giving blessings.

A normal wedding, how could that be as interesting as this one?

"My friend, today is my wedding day with Hui Hui. If you have anything to say, can you wait until after our wedding? The banquet will start soon, and you can help yourself to good food and wine…" On the stage, the groom beside Zhang Hui smiled lightly, looked at Zhao Gang, and said politely.

"The groom is really magnanimous. It's obvious that the bride and this man have some entanglements. If it were me, I wouldn't even bother talking to him, I would have just hit him with a microphone…"

"One is scruffy, one is handsome; one is a commoner, one is a rich and powerful man; one is red-faced and neck-thick, one is polite and courteous. Any girl who isn't blind would know who to choose…"

Seeing this scene, some people sighed in admiration.

"Actually, this man is not bad looking too, he just seems a bit down, probably due to this incident, and his clothes are too ordinary…"

Some others objectively commented.

"Judging from his attire, this man's family background should be quite ordinary. Judging from the bride's expression, she probably has feelings for this man too. Unfortunately, that's reality…"

"Yes, reality…"

Some people nodded slightly, sighing.

"Zhao Gang, today is my wedding day, and I'm glad you came. Can you wait until after my wedding to say what you need to say?" At this moment, Zhang Hui had also regained her composure. She took a deep breath and spoke softly. From her gentle voice, you could hear a slight tremble.

"I just need to say a few words..." Upon hearing Zhang Hui's words, Zhao Gang's face turned pale. He opened his mouth, finally speaking.

At this moment, his voice was even more hoarse.

The scene was silent.

Everyone looked at Zhang Hui, seemingly wanting to see what decision she would make.

This includes the groom who also looked at Zhang Hui.

Seeing Zhao Gang like this, a tremor shot through Zhang Hui's heart. She wanted to utter words of rejection.

But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her lips parted slightly as she whispered, "Go ahead, say what you want to say..."

"Do you still have feelings for me?" Zhao Gang stared at Zhang Hui on the stage, asking.

As expected--

Upon hearing Zhao Gang's words, a murmur filled the vicinity.

This man indeed had a tie with the bride. Before this, they must surely have had a past relationship.

Some people watched the scene with excitement as a gossip-monger's heart blazed in their chest.

On the stage, the groom's face was turning ugly too.

Zhang Hui's face turned pale again. She hadn't expected Zhao Gang to be so straightforward.

Or rather, she should have expected it. What else could Zhao Gang say after interrupting her wedding?

However, she couldn't bear it...

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, she felt saddened.

But at this moment, the whispers of the surrounding people made her feel utterly embarrassed.

A person values their face as a tree values its bark.

She chose her current boyfriend to live a life with more dignity and respect, didn't she? To give her family more dignity and respect as well?

Yet, at this moment...

"Zhao Gang, thank you for your help over the past two years. However, I have always regarded you as a normal friend. I'm sorry..." Zhang Hui lowered her head and whispered.

"Have we always been... just friends?" Zhao Gang gave a bitter smile and whispered.

"Ah..."

Seeing this scene, many sighed softly, feeling a hint of pity for Zhao Gang.

Among the disappointments in life, eight or nine out of ten happen in relationships. Smooth sailing is but a rare occurrence.

They separated, they gave up; all due to various realities.

Many initially wanted to enjoy the drama unfolding, but now, they felt a shared sense of misery.

"How unfortunate..."

Only a few people shook their heads.

They did not pity Zhao Gang but the bride.

What was Lin Yun's net worth? His social status? He deigned to come with Zhao Gang, which indicated their relationship was far from shallow!

In other words, Zhao Gang, having a friend like Lin Yun, was bound to have a great future. Compared to that, what was the position of a small county's Director worth?

Moreover, the bride was marrying the Director's son?

On the surface, it seemed quite nice; the Director's family was decent... but how much of their wealth was honestly earned?

To collapse, it would merely take a moment.

But Lin Yun was different. His massive wealth was not something ordinary power could shake. There likely resided an even greater force behind him!

None of them were fools. Judging by the bride's demeanor, she must've had feelings for Zhao Gang!

Zhao Gang interrupting the wedding might've been him giving the girl a chance!

How unfortunate, a great opportunity wasted by this woman!

How could they not feel sorry for her?
