Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Attending the Wedding with Li Yanran

The two drank until late at night. Huang Tao was completely drunk before Lin Dongfang left.

As he was leaving, Huang Tao grabbed his arm, reminding him to make sure to attend his wedding the day after tomorrow.

Lin Dong nodded, ”Bro, how could I possibly not come to your wedding? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there.”

After Lin Dong left, Chen Jing came out from the bedroom.

She looked at the drunken Huang Tao and said angrily, ”What were you drinking with him for?”

”You don’t drink like that with your leaders, so what’s the point of drinking with him?”

Huang Tao was already drunk, slumped over with bleary eyes.

As Chen Jing was tidying his clothes, she spotted the jade amulet Lin Dong gave to Huang Tao and casually threw it into the trash bin.

”This thing’s only worth a few bucks, why keep it? It brings bad luck!”

After Lin Dong returned to the hotel, Liu Yanran came to see him.

”Lin Dong, when are you heading back to Jianghai?” Li Yanran asked him.

Lin Dong had planned to return to Jianghai tomorrow, as he had already had a breakthrough to the stage where he could use Alchemist’s Fire and refine the pills listed in the ancient alchemists’ formulas.

He had wanted to go back to Jianghai early to start refining Resuscitating Pills, but since his good buddy Huang Tao was getting married in a couple of days, there was no rush at the moment.

He had already promised to attend the wedding, so he decided to wait until after Huang Tao’s wedding before returning to Jianghai.

”I’ll be heading back to Jianghai in a few days. In two days, my good brother is getting married. I’m going to attend his wedding...”

Lin Dong relayed this to Li Yanran.

He also said to her, ”The sickness you had has been cured; you can head back to the Capital City now.”

However, at his words, Li Yanran seemed displeased and said, ”So, you just can’t stand me, huh? Want me to leave as soon as possible?”

”Do you find me annoying to look at?”

”I’m not leaving. I’ve decided I’m going to attend the wedding with you in two days.”

Lin Dong was taken aback and asked in confusion, ”Why would you go?”

”To have fun, can’t I?” Li Yanran said, hands on her hips.

”Okay, suit yourself,” Lin Dong didn’t say much. He couldn’t quite figure out the temper of such a young lady.

If she wanted to go, then so be it.

Just like that, time flew, and two days had passed.

During those two days, Li Yanran clung to Lin Dong, having him take her around the entire county.

The county town wasn’t very big to begin with, so in two days, they had practically been everywhere worth visiting.

And today was the day of Lin Dong’s friend Huang Tao’s wedding.

Early this morning, Lin Dong prepared a big red envelope.

He included a check worth one million.

”Lin Dong, you’re giving such a big gift?” Li Yanran was somewhat astonished, she couldn’t help but say.

Lin Dong didn’t answer, but left with Li Yanran to head for the wedding venue.

Huang Tao’s wedding was held at a restaurant next to his house, which belonged to the family of school leaders.

Chen Jing had strongly requested to have the wedding at their restaurant, thinking it would please the leaders.

Huang Tao had no choice but to acquiesce to her demands.

But in reality, having the wedding there meant that the wine and dishes were much more expensive than other places. They were ’butchering’ a familiar face.

Lin Dong and Li Yanran quickly arrived at the door of the restaurant and saw Huang Tao, Chen Jing, and their families greeting guests there.

Seeing Lin Dong arrive with a beautiful woman, Huang Tao and Chen Jing were somewhat surprised.

”Lin Dong, not bad, you actually found such a beautiful girlfriend,” said Huang Tao as he came over, chuckling and patting Lin Dong on the shoulder.

Today, he was dressed in a groom’s suit, a red flower pinned to his chest, looking in high spirits.

After all, it’s his wedding day; naturally, he needs to present himself impressively.

Lin Dong quickly explained, ”This isn’t my girlfriend, she’s just a friend of mine.”

Chen Jing then came over, rolling her eyes, ”Huang Tao, stop pairing people up. This girl is so beautiful, Lin Dong doesn’t stand a chance with her.”

Li Yanran frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Just as she was about to say something, Lin Dong tugged at her arm and shook his head at her.

So Li Yanran closed her mouth and didn’t say anything more.

At that moment, Lin Dong also handed over a red envelope.

Then, with sincere wishes, he said to Huang Tao, ”Bro, happy marriage. I hope you won’t be defeated by life and will always hold on to your dreams.”

”Thanks, bro. I hope to drink to your wedding soon too, keep it up,” said Huang Tao, winking at him and Li Yanran.

Li Yanran was also observing Huang Tao and Chen Jing, the newlyweds.

After hearing what Chen Jing said earlier, she didn’t have a good impression of her, thinking she was somewhat materialistic.

But seeing Huang Tao’s demeanor, she actually found him quite likable. No wonder Lin Dong valued this brother of his.

”You guys go on in. Today a lot of our old classmates will be coming to my wedding. Lin Dong, you can sit with them later and catch up,” suggested Huang Tao to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong nodded.

Huang Tao was naturally busy on his big day. He needed to greet the guests and couldn’t spend all his time attending to them.

Lin Dong understood this.

At that point, Lin Dong, with Li Yanran in tow, entered the restaurant.

But after they had entered, Chen Jing snatched the red envelope from Huang Tao’s hand.

”Let’s see how much he gave! Other classmates gave at least eight hundred! You consider him such a good brother, he better have given at least that much,” she said as she tore open the red envelope.

Huang Tao, annoyed, said, ”Chen Jing, why are you like this? He’s my brother; the amount doesn’t matter, it’s the thought that counts...”

”Ah...” At that moment, Chen Jing let out a surprised shriek.

Immediately afterward, she slapped the ’check’ from the red envelope onto Huang Tao’s face, berated him, ”Huang Tao, you’re so blind. You take someone as a brother, but they’re making a fool of you. It’s your wedding, and they’re just playing you.”

”Giving a fake check for one million as a wedding gift. I’ve never seen such a person!”

”I understand if someone has no money, but this, isn’t this just disgusting?”

Huang Tao, looking at the check in his hand, was also taken aback.

Like Chen Jing, he didn’t believe the check could be real.

Lin Dong didn’t even get into University. How could he have made a million?

”He’s just joking with me, that’s all. Let’s just keep it to ourselves. Later, don’t mention it in front of the old classmates. It would make him lose face. Lin Dong has it rough; his family isn’t well-off, and without a University degree, it’s hard to find work. It’s normal for him to be strapped for cash...”

Although Huang Tao thought the check was fake, he wasn’t angry. He believed Lin Dong was just playing a friendly joke on him. Instead, Huang Tao spoke on behalf of Lin Dong to save his face.

Chen Jing shook her head, ”I told you the friends you make are no good. You should distance yourself from this kind of friend in the future.”

”You should keep in touch with people like our class monitor; they’re the ones who can help you later on...”
