Chapter 1488: Chapter 857: Wedding Escort—Forced Operations, Slicked-Back Squad (2 Updates)
Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi’s wedding in Pingjiang certainly won’t be as grand as one held in the capital. After all, it’s taking place in the Ruan Family’s place, and besides Qi Zeyan, the ones losing sleep tonight are Ruan Mengxi’s parents.
Ruan Daqiang is worried about his daughter’s rest, considering the busy wedding day tomorrow and all the things to handle.
Tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, he simply got up to take a walk, ending up at a convenience store in the middle of the night to buy a pack of cigarettes.
All the old neighborhood folks, the shop owner smiled and congratulated him, not even taking his money.
"... Xixi is getting married tomorrow, time flies so fast, doesn’t it feel a bit hard to let go?" The shop owner joked.
"Feels like she’s still a child." Ruan Daqiang lit a cigarette, took a few hard puffs, smoked too hastily, and choked a bit.
"Xixi has a good marriage, it’s a good thing, you have no idea how envious of you we all are."
Ruan Daqiang just smiled, "Your son is about to take the college entrance exams, right?"
"He’s in 11th grade this year."
...
Ruan Mengxi’s mother, while lying in bed, also couldn’t sleep. Hearing the door open, knowing her husband was back, she pushed the door open and entered the room, slightly frowned at the smell of smoke on him, and lowered her voice, "You went out in the middle of the night for a smoke? I thought you were so nervous you wouldn’t come home to sleep."
"Where’s the mosquito repellent at home?"
"What?"
"My legs are full of mosquito bites."
If the mosquitoes hadn’t been so vicious, Ruan Daqiang might really have spent the night outside squatting.
The couple chatted into the late night and only dozed off for a short while, before the sky was barely light and they got up to get busy. Nearby relatives also arrived early to help, with the makeup artist coming over, and the entire Ruan Family was bustling.

Over at the hotel
When Jiang Jinsang and others arrived, Qi Zeyan and his party were already prepared to set out to greet the bride. One person today was still sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, a crisp suit, and shiny leather shoes...
What is all this, but then, for someone, this is standard practice.
It’s just that when the group caught sight of Jiang Chengsi, everyone couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
All the groomsmen were in uniform attire and hairstyle, all sporting slicked-back hair.
When had Jiang Chengsi ever styled his hair like this? When the stylist pinned him in front of the mirror and saw what they were doing atop his head, he almost fainted from suffocation.
What’s up with this? You’re going to greet the bride, but you’re prepping a slick-back hair squad?
But on the wedding day, the groomsmen have to cooperate with the groom, even though Jiang Chengsi was internally displeased, he could only endure it.
Qi Zeyan glanced at him disapprovingly and commented:
"Slicked-back hair is the sole standard for testing a handsome guy, unless you think you can’t pull it off."
Jiang Chengsi was speechless, "You just wait, when I get married, I’m surely going to..."
"Sorry, by the time you get married, everyone will have settled down and no one will be left to be your groomsman, and you can’t have me either."
"..."
It’s over, the person was officially shut-down, all the grievances from being a groomsman so many times couldn’t be recovered at all.
So when Jiang Jinsang and others arrived, they saw someone like a walking corpse being groomed by the stylist.
Jiang Chengsi himself was quite handsome, even with his forehead exposed, it wasn’t bad, but at a glance, a little unrecognizable, suddenly giving off that domineering president vibe.
Jiang Shiyi was rather relieved that his spot was replaced by Jiang Chengsi, he couldn’t stand being teased by Qi Zeyan like that.
Jiang Chengsi was already quite closed off, but then Qi Zeyan informed him he was the main groomsman, and many tasks would rely on him.
The original choice, Jiang Shiyi, was because he was steady, able to handle the scene, and now the responsibility fell on Jiang Chengsi, plus he had plenty of experience, he should be able to handle it.
"Having ample groomsman experience," hearing this, somehow made one feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, he still nodded, "No problem, it’s just going to pick up the bride, I’ll definitely help you out, if anyone tries to make it hard for you, it’s definitely us groomsmen rushing to the front."
Someone was speaking excitedly, weddings are joyous occasions, Jiang Chengsi was also quite happy.
Until he was getting ready to go to the Ruan Family, Jiang Jinsang’s words left him dumbfounded:
"Did you forget Xiaoruan’s father has a background in Martial Arts, and you promised to rush forward?"
"..."
Recently, Jiang Chengsi was solely focused on his own sweetheart, where had he found time for Ruan Mengxi? But Jiang Jinsang made a good point.
Ruan Daqiang knows Martial Arts, won’t he make him do something like smashing bricks with a single hand, catching durians bare-handed, or intercepting blades with bare hands...
The more someone thought about it, the harder it seemed, feeling like there was no joy left in life.
Thankfully Si Qingxiao was still texting him.
When the group reached the Ruan Family, since their home was a condominium unit, there was already a crowd outside, most of them women and children were upstairs, so when Qi Zeyan’s group reached downstairs, they found the entrance to the unit covered almost entirely by men.
