Chapter 2473 - 1560: Promise
"Thank you, everyone!"
When Tie Jun pushed open the private room door, he first solemnly bowed.
"If you’re going to thank anyone, it should be the host behind you, not us."
Getting up as she spoke, Tong Dan teased.
"Let’s not bother with all the formalities tonight."
Standing at the door, Fu Zili didn’t mind and waved his arms, "The motto tonight is simple: happy, happy, and more happy!"
Ji Ailin, standing next to Wen Rong, couldn’t help but laugh, easing the awkward feeling of entering a different circle a little.
Not to mention everyone else, the "Brother Fu" they just met today was a true shareholder of the Emperor, and he actually closed the place down just to host this gathering.
You know, the revenue this place makes in one night is unimaginable.
Tie Jun’s childhood friends, whether truly powerful or just faking it, all seem pretty down to earth.
"We’ve all met already, no need for introductions..."
"Brother Tie Jun, I haven’t met her yet though."
Hong Xiaoyu then shouted to Ji Ailin, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Everyone froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Only Ji Ailin blushed, waving her hand in embarrassment, "I-I’m not..."
"You little rascal, when your brother came back for New Year’s, didn’t you meet her at my barbecue?"
Hong Xiaoyu seemed to remember, "Oh, right, sorry, sister-in-law."
This time, he faced Wen Rong, not making a mistake.
"You’ll have to drink as a penalty later," Fu Zili said seriously.
"Right, you should, messing up like that." Tong Dan added fuel to the fire.
"It’s okay if he mistakes my wife, as long as he doesn’t mistake his own sister-in-law."
Still showing brotherly demeanor, Tie Jun helped Hong Xiaoyu out of the situation, then introduced, "This is Hong Xiaoyu, Jiang Chen’s cousin, who has loved tagging along with us since childhood, also one of the groomsmen."
"And this is Ji Ailin, your sister Wen Rong’s colleague. If you ever get sick, you can go to her for help."
"Brother Tie Jun, isn’t sister Wen Rong working at a mental hospital?"
Everyone laughed out loud again.
Tong Dan patted Hong Xiaoyu on the shoulder, "Did you learn your sense of humor from your brother?"
"Is everyone here yet?"
"One more, my former class monitor, he’s coming from Hong’an, might take a while."
"Oh, right, the last groomsman, huh?"
Fu Zili realized and, giving face, said, "You guys sit first, I’ll go wait for him."
Tie Jun stopped him.
"No need, he’ll call me when he arrives."
Fu Zili nodded, "Alright."
Hong’an, a county under Sha City, to get here requires crossing the Yangtze River Bridge, it’s not intentional to be the last, it’s indeed dozens of kilometers away, taking about an hour by car.
"Tonight should be everyone’s last single night, one of our couples is about to step into the temple of marriage, so shouldn’t we set a theme?"
In this setting, Fu Zili naturally played a good host, and as it was his own venue, he didn’t hesitate to propose.
"Agreed."
"Support."
Hong Xiaoyu and Tong Dan spoke in unison.
Tong Dan is naturally outgoing, rarely a dull moment with her unless she meets someone she can’t get along with, and Hong Xiaoyu, who used to be shy, has changed over time; no one stays the same forever.
"Jun, go ahead."
Fu Zili shouted.
Tie Jun hurriedly waved his hand, "You guys decide."
"Then, sister-in-law, you go ahead."
Wen Rong didn’t refuse, thought for a while, "Let’s call it... ’Promise’."
"Promise?"
"Yes."
Wen Rong smiled with her lips pursed, looking at the people sincerely blessing her, "Tie Jun and I are really grateful to everyone. Not just a lover, having close friends to walk through life with is also precious. I hope time never ages us, and we never part."
Tie Jun quietly held Wen Rong’s hand.
Does a woman really need stunning beauty and remarkable talent?
No.
At least he doesn’t need that.
"Well said. The theme for tonight will be ’Promise’!"
Tong Dan first blew the horn, picking up a bottle of beer from the black sandalwood coffee table, "May our friendship last forever!"
Bottle after bottle of beer was picked up.
Fu Zili didn’t pursue expensive drinks only, was it out of stinginess?
No.
It’s just because his mindset has reached a higher level.
Drinks flowed.
Faces from different life paths let go of daily masks and pretense, and what shone through, was the simplest and purest smile.
"Tong the great beauty, how about you start us off?"
"The groom has spoken, how could I refuse?"
Tong Dan readily took on the moment, then pondered what song to sing, humming a few lines: "We promised not to part, to always always be together, what song is this?"
Hong Xiaoyu’s forehead broke out in lines, "I think... it’s ’Time Cooks the Rain’."
"Right! ’Time Cooks the Rain’!" Tong Dan realized.
Fang Qing helped to pick the song.
Fu Zili handed over the microphone.
"Here goes nothing~"
Wen Rong clapped in welcome.
"Thank you~"
Tong Dan picked up the microphone.
Seated on the leather sofa, Ji Ailin watched the gorgeous and confident Tong Dan with envy, envious of her freedom and ease.
She knew she could never live like that.
"The wind turns rain into flowers,
Time can’t catch up with the white horse,
The young whispers in your palm,
Are you still holding them tightly?
Clouds surge into summer,
Tears evaporate over time,
On this road, her and him,
Has anyone lost their way——"
You have to say, Tong Dan’s song choice was brilliant, perfectly fitting tonight’s theme of ’Promise’. Like most beauties, saying her singing was heavenly is an exaggeration, but at least it was above average.
"We promised not to part,
To always always stay together,
Even if we are against time,
Even if we are against the world——"
