Chapter 2212 - 12: The Grand Finale (12)

Although I know the old man usually calls me ’brother’ just for show, isn’t it great that he chooses to pretend?

Huo Bei looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "How did the shoot go?"

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Huo Bei, "Are you doubting your husband’s abilities?"

Huo Bei, "..."

He couldn’t out-talk Xiaoxi’s sharp tongue, so he just smiled, conceding silently.

Yan Xiaoxi glanced towards the kitchen and, seeing the old man silent, leaned closer to Huo Bei, speaking softly, "You can check your husband’s Weibo, there are sample photos."

Huo Bei picked up his phone to look, but Yan Xiaoxi hurriedly stopped him, "Check it when you get home!"

Just as she finished speaking, Jin Bo already came out, looking at Huo Bei and Yan Xiaoxi, "What are you looking at?"

Yan Xiaoxi turned to Jin Bo and immediately spoke up, "I’m giving a gift to my future sister-in-law."

Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi.

Yan Xiaoxi smiled to cover it up, thinking if he found out, she’d be in for it!

...

The next day, Jin Bo dropped Yan Xiaoxi at Nanyuan Villa and then went to the police station to meet Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng sat there, unusually calm.

He looked at Jin Bo, not expecting him to help apply for leave to pay respects to his mother, "Thank you."

Jin Bo glanced at him, "Let’s go."

Fang Zheng nodded slightly.

To prevent any escape, two police officers accompanied them.

Jin Bo drove, carrying Fang Zheng, the two officers, and Zhou Chuan’s body to South City.

They arrived by evening, without resting, and sent Zhou Chuan to the crematorium, then overnight had someone dig up Fang Zheng’s mother, Fang Xia’s grave, and buried Zhou Chuan’s ashes with Fang Xia.

Fang Zheng knelt there, personally covering with handfuls of soil, bowing to his mother.

That night, they rested in South City, and returned to Hong Kong the next day.

On the third day, his sentence was announced: life imprisonment.

...

Half a month later

Jin Bo and Yan Xiaoxi’s wedding was held at Nanhuan Hotel.

The old man arrived early, seeing the little ones, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoliao, who he hadn’t seen for half a month and missed terribly.

After showering them with affection, he sat down and looked at Uncle Guan, instructing him to take care of hosting the friends and family.

He sat there, holding his pocket watch, and glanced at the time, only eight o’clock, the lucky hour hadn’t arrived yet.

Second brother’s side for the bride pickup would probably take another hour.

Shen You was helping over here, coming over to chat with the old man.

The old man remembered the second brother saying Ye Bai was coming, supposedly arriving at the airport at eight-thirty.

He looked at Shen You, "Youzi, second brother wants you to go to the airport to pick up Ye Bai."

Ye Bai?

Upon hearing that name, Shen You’s initially fine face suddenly changed color.

The old man, "Youzi, what’s wrong? Not feeling well?"

Shen You snapped back, quickly shaking his head, "No."

The old man, "It’s eight o’clock, time’s almost up, you go pick up Ye Bai, you should still remember her, right? Can recognize her?"

Shen You, "I remember."

Despite the complex feelings, he still drove to the airport.

Outside the airport, he saw rows of luxury cars, glanced around, looked a few more times, wondering what kind of event it was today? Quite a spectacle!

After parking, he looked; it was precisely eight o’clock.

Thinking of them taking the plane, there’d still be some distance after landing, so he quickly went to the exit area.

After waiting a while without seeing anyone, he called the old man, "Old man, are you sure it’s eight-thirty?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Ye Bai walking over from the distance.

Ye Bai also saw Shen You.

This vegetative person actually woke up!
