Chapter 506: Urging Marriage

There weren't many people at the concert site, just about a hundred or so. But judging from their dress and appearance, it was certain they were all government officials.

I found my seat according to the ticket and found that to my left was Deng Hanyuan, and to my right was actually Peng Xiaoyuan.

I secretly groaned in my heart; I couldn't afford to provoke this grandmother.

Just as I sat down, I heard a light hum from Peng Xiaoyuan. I didn't dare to look at her, pretending I didn't hear it, and greeted Deng Hanyuan next to me.

I had only said a few words when the lights on the stage dimmed, and then a soft music sounded. After the prelude, the sound was heard before the person was seen—a sound like a mountain spring, like pearls falling on a jade plate, like celestial music.

My heart trembled. This song was the one Xue Bing loved to sing most when she was in Suxi; I had cried and felt sad in this song. I hadn't heard it for several years, and now that it entered my ears again, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Under the spotlight, Xue Bing in a white dress came out slowly, like a fairy.

She held the microphone lightly, opened her red lips slightly, but saw the long and continuous singing flying out, lingering in the spacious hall, making people return to the realm of beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Just as I was listening intently, I suddenly felt an arm pain. I turned my head and found Peng Xiaoyuan staring at me with angry eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my arm in confusion.

"Where did your arm come from?" Peng Xiaoyuan smiled triumphantly and said, "I was just pinching you; if you come over again, I'll take a knife and chop you."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry." I quickly restrained my arm, clasped my hands together on my chest, and looked at Xue Bing on the stage.

"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize her?" Peng Xiaoyuan said coldly, "Stop pretending, okay."

I didn't want to pay attention to her; the best way to deal with a girl as unreasonable as her is to keep my mouth shut.

The problem is that I didn't speak, but she didn't give up, and seeing that I didn't pay attention to her, she started to become a bit angry from embarrassment.

"Hey Chen, tell me, are you a Chen Shimei (a heartless man)?" she asked with a smile that wasn't a smile, and suddenly stepped on my shoe with her foot, grinding hard.

I felt pain and wanted to pull it out, but she pressed too hard, and her face was full of triumph.

A wave of anger surged in my heart, and I wished I could raise my hand and slap her.

Peng Xiaoyuan was still triumphant; she didn't care at all that I was already furious.

I secretly sighed. Who let her be the daughter of the Party School Principal! If I offend her, how will I live in the future? In this one-third of an acre of the Party School, her father is the authority. If her father is the authority, she is the small authority. From the way Mei Hua spoke to her, I could tell that this girl was not a good person!

Just as Xue Bing finished singing a song, I didn't listen to what she said at all. I turned to Deng Hanyuan and said, "Secretary Deng, you guys enjoy it first. I have something to go out for, don't wait for me later, I'll find a way back myself."

Deng Hanyuan looked at me in astonishment, wanting to open his mouth to speak, but I stood up and walked away.

After leaving the theater, just as I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a cold voice came from behind again: "Trying to escape?"

I was shocked, turned my head, and saw Peng Xiaoyuan chasing me again, still looking at me with a smile that wasn't a smile.

I said helplessly, "Miss Peng, tell me, what should I do?"

Peng Xiaoyuan glared at me and said, "One way to get things done."

"What way?" I asked impatiently.

"Marry my teacher."

"Your teacher?" I looked at her suspiciously. The words she suddenly popped out made me unable to laugh or cry.

"That's right, my teacher. Teacher Xue Bing," Peng Xiaoyuan said lightly, "If it weren't for my teacher still thinking about you, I really wouldn't have taken a fancy to you. A Chen Shimei, what's there to love."

I asked in surprise, "How did she become your teacher?"

"Is it strange?" Peng Xiaoyuan rolled her eyes at me and said, "Looking at Central Province, who won an award at the Youth Singer Competition? Besides my teacher, find me a second one."

"I'm not familiar with this," I said earnestly, "Miss Peng, don't you think your behavior is forcing someone?"

"Is that so?" She laughed wildly, curled her lips, and said, "For someone like you, you have to use extraordinary means. Let me tell you, Chen Shimei, rein in at the precipice, turn back and you'll find the shore!"

I couldn't communicate with her anymore, so I said, "Sorry, I have something to do, I'll go first."

After speaking, regardless of her shouting behind me, I fled down the steps, hailed a taxi, jumped in, and told the driver to drive forward in a panic.

Doesn't she know that my wife now is Huang Weiwei? Since she knows our affairs so clearly, Xue Bing could tell her our love story, why didn't she tell her that my lover now isn't her, but someone else?

Besides, doesn't she have Guo Wei now?

With questions, I sat in the car without saying a word, letting the driver drive forward.

After driving for a while, the driver felt guilty and asked where I was going.

I didn't even raise my head and said, "Find a department store."

Getting off the taxi and standing in Apollo Square, my eyes were full of lights and colors. The nightlife of this city had officially begun.

The nightlife of Central Province is famous nationwide; the bar street is full of handsome men and beautiful women, and Culture Road is full of high-brow art. Even the lowest-level people in this city have a place for nightlife—a night snack street, crowded with all kinds of people.

I calmed my mood, preparing to enter the department store to buy some daily necessities.

Just as I stepped on the steps, the phone in my pocket rang.

I opened it and saw it was a call from my aunt, who started scolding me as soon as she opened her mouth: "Xiao Feng, where the hell did you die?"

I remained silent; at this time, I didn't know what to say.

"You, how can you never grow up in your whole life!" my aunt said hatefully, "Speak, where did you run off to go crazy again?"

I said softly, "Aunt, I'm studying in the province."

"Studying?" My aunt's voice raised a few degrees, "Didn't Weiwei's dad request leave for you? What are you studying! Can't you distinguish between light and heavy?"

I smiled and said, "Precisely because I can distinguish between light and heavy, I came to study."

My aunt sighed on the phone and said, "No matter whether you can distinguish or not, you come back to me immediately. If you don't come back, something big will happen."

"What big thing?" I asked absentmindedly, "Will the sky collapse?"

"It's more serious than the sky collapsing!" my aunt said seriously, "Weiwei's dad called me over this afternoon. Let me tell you, I've never seen him so serious before, like a tiger about to eat someone, looking quite scary."

"He can't eat you!" I was still teasing my aunt. My aunt is also a person who is not afraid of anything; otherwise, when my grandmother's family encountered historical changes, she wouldn't have dared to go out and break through, and even break through a world of her own.

My mother couldn't hope to match this point of my aunt's. My mother never treated her as a younger sister since she was a child, always treating her as a daughter.

"This problem is really serious." My aunt must have been frowning; her voice was actually trembling, making me, at this end of the phone, feel a trace of coldness for no reason.

"Weiwei's mom was furious, saying that if you miss the wedding, she will definitely make you lose your reputation." My aunt paused and said, "Xiao Feng, tell me, do you not want to get married?"

My aunt's words were like a sharp sword, piercing my heart and dripping with blood.

Yes! Do I not want to get married?

As soon as this thought surfaced, it lingered and refused to leave.

I stammered on the phone, actually not knowing how to answer my aunt's question.

My aunt seemed to understand my thoughts, and she comforted me on the phone, "Xiao Feng, if you really don't want to get married, I'll help you."

I blurted out, "Aunt, how will you help?"

"I have my own ways." She hung up the phone with a smile.

I was still stunned holding the receiver when Huang Weiwei's call came in.

I hesitated, not knowing whether to answer or not. To be honest, she is a good woman, the image of a beautiful wife in my heart. I have dreamed of her many times, and every time she appeared in my dreams, she was the image of a beautiful wife. How could I not want to marry her?

I pressed the receiver and shouted, "Wife!"

There was a hesitation on the phone, and then the voice of Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi came through: "It's me!"

I was startled and broke into a sweat. I hurriedly changed my address and called, "Mom!"

Chen Yazhi hummed and said, "You still know I'm your mom?"

I accompanied her with a smile and said, "Mom, sorry!"

"No need to say any nonsense, where are you now? Hurry up and come back. The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow, you can't let Weiwei marry the air!"

"Okay, okay." I answered hurriedly. In front of Chen Yazhi, I have always been an obedient person.

"Mom!" I called out affectionately, "I want to say a few words to Weiwei."

Chen Yazhi hesitated and said, "If I didn't call you, you wouldn't plan to call back?"

I didn't want to explain, waiting for her to pass the receiver to Huang Weiwei.

Not long after, Huang Weiwei's voice came through the receiver: "Husband!"

My heart warmed, and I whispered, "Wife!"

Huang Weiwei laughed, saying, "Husband, why did you suddenly disappear?"

I smiled, "I didn't disappear, Husband is handling things in the province. Handling the big things you gave me."

Huang Weiwei shouted as if she suddenly realized, "Yes, yes! How is it going?"

I sighed and said, "It's difficult!"

"Even if it's difficult, you have to handle it well. If you don't handle it well, how can you be considered my good husband? I know my husband's ability, I'm waiting for your good news."

Before I could hang up, she hung up first, which I didn't expect. Huang Weiwei has never been clingy with me on the phone for so many years, which I not only appreciate but also admire. She is a woman who knows how to grab a man's heart. Since we clarified our relationship, she silently cleared all threats around me, such as Xue Bing, who is singing loudly in the Opera House.

After standing for a while, I started calling He Jiaxiao.

I decided not to leave him for a single step tonight. Tomorrow, after the opening meeting, I will return to Hengyue City directly. I want to take He Jiaxiao back to get married! ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
