“This is Deng family’s RMB 500 million. Take care of it.” Jude Zhu smiled and pulled out a bank card.
“I told you already that I don’t lack money. Take this money. You can use it for your family’s business.” Robin Zhou refused.
“Robin, I don’t care, but I must return the money. You have helped us repay the Zhu family’s RMB 500 million loans. I can’t take the money.” Jude explained.
“It’s not my money. It’s Jos Deng’s money.”
“Robin, stop it. I know better than anyone else that Jos would not have done that if it wasn’t to respect you.”
“Jos would have let Zhu family go bankrupt.”
“Well, Robin, let’s not talk about it anymore. You have to take the money today. Otherwise, you will disrespect me.” Jude said with a straight face.
“All right, I’ll take it.” Robin took the card with a wry smile.
Seeing Robin accepted the card, Jude became jubilant instantly, “Hey, now that’s my brother.”
Robin shook his head and laughed, but he didn’t know what to say to Jude. Even he couldn’t stay calm in front of RMB 500 million.
“Kiss! Kiss!”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall.
Robin turned his head and looked in the direction of the commotion.
A crowd had formed under the circular stage in the center of the hall. They were watching the groom and the bride.
The bride in the white wedding dress closed her eyes shyly. Then, the tall groom in the black suit presented her with a deep kiss.
The crowd roared again, applause thundering across the room.
Robin couldn’t help but take a look at Jude. Jude was smiling, but deep in his eyes, there was indescribable loneliness.
“Do you still like her?” Robin smiled.
“Not anymore.” Jude shook his head, still maintaining a smile on his face.
Robin nodded softly.
Although he didn’t know what happened between Jude and his ex-girlfriend, Robin knew that we might long for some people for the rest of our lives.
After the bride and groom kiss, they began to toast.
The hall was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Only Robin’s table was dull.
After saying that he didn’t like her anymore, Jude poured a glass of wine silently, drank it down, and poured another glass.
At this time, Robin didn’t say anything to comfort him.
As a friend, the only thing he needed to do was to drink with Jude.
Soon, the groom and bride came to their table.
Seeing Jude’s reddish face, the bride seemed reluctant to talk to him.
But there was a certain chill in the groom’s eyes.
“Fat ass, what are you doing here?”
The groom asked while staring at Jude.
At the moment, Jude was a little drunk. He was quite surprised by the groom’s question, he apologized, “I’m sorry, no one asked me to come here. I want to come here myself.”
“You want to come here for yourself?” The groom squinted and said in a cold voice, “This is my wedding ceremony with Christine. What are you doing here?”
“I came here to wish you two the best of…”
“Did I ask for your blessing?” Before Jude finished speaking, he was mercilessly interrupted by the groom.
“I think you are still lusting for Christine!” The groom sneered.
Jude frowned, “You are overanxious. I’m not.”
“You’re not?! You called Christine and asked her to marry you a few days ago! How could you say you’re not now?” The groom couldn’t control his anger.
Jude responded after a moment of silence, “Sorry.”
He did call Christine a few days ago because he wanted to remember her again. After all, Christine was the woman he had loved in college for four years.
“Go away!” The groom pointed to the door and threatened in a grim voice, “I don’t want to see you again. If you dare to annoy Christine again, I will break your leg.”
Without saying a word, Jude got up and walked to the door.
Robin sighed and followed Jude.
“Piece of shit. Why would that fat ass bring along a freeloader with him?” The groom continued to insult them.
Jude stopped and turned to look at the groom, “Robin is not a freeloader.”
“You fat ass, what did you say?” The fact that Jude dared to talk back in front of so many people made the groom furious.
“Robin is not a freeloader,” Jude spoke sternly. The groom could insult him, but not Robin.
After all, Robin came to the hotel because of him. Besides, why would Robin do such a thing with all his assets?
“Not a freeloader?” The groom stepped forward to Jude and stared into his eyes, “So he’s not just because you said so?”
“Everyone, is this trash a freeloader?” The groom pointed at them and shouted.
“Yes! Haha.”
The crowd burst into laughter. Most of the people standing in the hall were the groom’s friends, classmates, and relatives. Of course, they would stand on the side of the groom at this time.
“Do you hear that? Fatso! They all agreed!” The groom continued to provoke him.
“Don’t go too far, Dong!”
Jude clenched his fists. Anger gushed in his eyes.
“What would you do if I go too far?” Dong Lin stretched out his hand and patted Jude’s face.
Jude was about to explode, but Robin stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder.
“Forget it, Jude. Let’s go.” Robin sighed. Jude loved the bride very much, so Robin didn’t want to ruin the wedding because of him.
“OK! Let’s go!” Jude clenched his teeth and took a deep breath.
But after a few steps, Dong suddenly exclaimed.
“Wait!”
Jude stopped and asked in a deep voice, “Dong, what else can I do for you?”
Dong joked, “My friend lost his watch.”
“What does that have to do with me?!” Jude repressed his anger.
