207 Chapter 206, How Can There Be A Next Time
The police received a report saying that someone had attempted murder, so they arrived quite quickly.
The two of them drove the police car and arrived at the scene in less than 20 minutes.
Gong Wenbai briefly explained the situation at the scene, “At that time, there were only me and the two children at the scene. We were the witnesses.”
The police nodded and said, “Alright, we have a general understanding of the situation you described. Let’s hold the wedding first. After the wedding ends in the afternoon, come to the police station to take a statement.”
Hearing that, Li Miao hurriedly handed over the rope and screws they had kept. She also handed over two packs of wedding cigarettes. “Thank you for your understanding. After the wedding is over, we will go there immediately.”
After figuring out the whole story, the two policemen quickly left with Liang Yufang and her daughter.
After sending off the two plague gods, Li Miao also heaved a sigh of relief.
The auspicious time had arrived, and the ceremony had begun.
Li Miao dusted her hands and said politely, “Brother Gong, thank you so much for today.”
Gong Wenbai shook his head. “It was nothing.”
Li Miao smiled. “Then let’s go.”
Gong Wenbai nodded and followed Li Miao to the stage.
Li Lei stood at the end of the stage while Meng Xiaoning held onto Meng Qingxin’s hand and slowly stepped onto the stage. Behind the two of them, Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng held hands and unhurriedly followed the rhythm of the music, scattering romantic roses.
Below the stage, Li Xu and Li Yong stood together with gratified smiles on their faces.
Ji Zi’ang held Li Xu’s hand and watched the scene on the stage with a sour feeling in his heart.
“When Eldest Uncle gets married next time…” Li Xu turned pale with fright and quickly covered Ji Zi’ang’s mouth.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” She said helplessly, “How can there be a next time?”
Ji Zi’ang blinked his eyes and pushed Li Xu’s hand away. “Then when Second Uncle gets married, Big Brother and I will go up too!”
Li Yong beamed. “Okay, I’ll let you guys go up then!”
Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang became happy.
Seeing that her son was no longer speaking, Li Xu’s heart was finally relieved. She muttered, “A child’s words held no malice, no malice.”
On the stage, Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng reached out their hands and handed over the rings. They had finally completed their mission.
The two of them calmly held hands and came down from the stage.
Standing beside Li Xu, Qin Mucheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one cared about him anymore.
Phew… why was he even more nervous than giving a speech in front of the entire school?
At this moment, Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning did not know about the small episode just now. They were laughing happily on the stage.
The ceremony was held from 11 o’clock until it was close to 12 o’clock.
A few bridesmaids brought the bride back to change clothes then have toasts. The guests also left and sat down to wait for dinner.
During dinner, the couple held their wine glasses and toasted each other.
When it was almost two o’clock, the guests left one after another.
Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning both drank some wine and their faces were red.
“Since the guests have left, the two of you can go home and rest! We’ll clean up here. You two don’t have to worry,” Li Xu said when she saw this.
Meng Xiaoning was a little embarrassed. “Big Sister, we’re fine. Let’s clean up together. It’ll be faster with more people.”
Li Lei didn’t say anything. He just looked at Meng Xiaoning with a silly smile on his face.
At this moment, a middle-aged man not far away suddenly shouted, “Xiao Lei…”
Li Lei looked over in surprise. When he saw the man’s face, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.
The man looked to be in his fifties or sixties. The skin on his face was dark and long.
He was not tall and quite thin. He was wearing an old black cotton-padded jacket with cotton wool exposed in some places.
He put his hands together and looked a little helpless.
His face was simple and honest. He looked like an honest man.
Meng Xiaoning looked at him and asked curiously, “Whose relative is this? What should I call him?”
Li Lei took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “This is Liang Yufang’s father. Wait here, I’ll go and see what’s going on!”
Liang Yufang’s father, Li Xu, and Li Yong knew each other.
They had met each other when they were engaged.
Therefore, when they saw him, their expressions were a little stiff.
Ji Yuanyuan did not know this person. Seeing that her mother and Second Uncle’s expressions were a little unnatural, she looked at the old man curiously.
Although Meng Xiaoning was a little unhappy, she still pursed her lips and nodded at Li Lei. “Alright, you can go!”
Li Lei then went forward and said, “Uncle Liang, why are you here?”
Li Lei really could not bear to say anything harsh to this old man.
After all, in the entire Liang family, he was the only one who’s sensible.
Moreover, his days at home were really not easy.
He was an honest person and did not have much ability. He only had a son like Liang Yuqiang when he was middle-aged.
His son spend money everywhere and he will marry a wife in the future. The few acres of land in the family could not give much money at all. He could only go out to work on the construction site. He was old but worked as hard as a young man.
He could only stay at home for more than a few days all year round. He would only come back for a few days when he was busy with the farm.
After he finished his work in the field, he had to go out again.
After engaged Liang Yufang for three years, Li Lei more or less knew about him.
Yufang’s father stood in front of Li Lei and had to raise his head.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly. “I know that today is your wedding day. Yufang and her mother were possessed for a moment. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, I really don’t know where to put my old face!”
Li Lei was confused when he heard Yufang’s father’s words. “What do you mean…”
Seeing this, Li Yong suddenly remembered. He hadn’t told Li Lei about Liang Yufang and her mother!
He hurried forward, he said in a low voice, “Before the ceremony was held in the morning, Liang Yufang and her mother loosened the ropes and screws on the back of the iron frame. Yuanyuan and Mucheng were at the scene at that time. The metal frame fell down. Fortunately, they dodged it quickly!”
Hearing that, Li Lei was shocked and looked at Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng.
Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly said, “Uncle, we’re fine. That frame didn’t touch us at all.”
Qin Mucheng, who was at the side, also nodded his head vigorously.
Looking at the two of them, Li Lei let out a breath of turbid air with some lingering fear.
Then, his expression turned ugly again. He asked Li Yong, “Where are they?”
This mother and daughter pair were really too shameless.
How could they do such a vicious thing?
Li Yong said again, “I called the police. The police came and took them away.”
Li Lei instantly understood the reason why Yufang’s father came over. It was nothing more than wanting him to let the mother and daughter pair off.
“Uncle Liang, please leave. I can’t help you with this matter,” Li Lei said coldly.
He wished he could tear Liang Yufang apart right now. However, he also knew in his heart that this matter probably had nothing to do with Yufang’s father.
Therefore, even though he was about to explode from anger, he still tried his best to restrain himself on the surface.
