Free Web NovelChapter 501: Chapter 497: Leng Yuan Knows About the System
"Leng Yuan, can you hear an electronic voice talking?"
Gu Jiaojiao whispered, testing the waters.
Leng Yuan suddenly looked at Gu Jiaojiao. "You know what that is?"
Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.
’Shouldn’t he be asking if I can hear it too?’
But this confirmed that Leng Yuan could hear it.
She didn’t know why Leng Yuan could hear it too, but she still offered a quiet explanation.
"That’s a system. Xu Wenwan has a system bound to her. It’s a complicated matter. I’ll explain it to you when we get home."
There were too many prying ears around them right now; it wasn’t safe.
Leng Yuan also knew how unbelievable this was, so he nodded immediately.
The two of them followed at a discreet distance. There were so many onlookers that their attempts to inch closer didn’t seem out of place.
All the educated youth had come for Yun Hao’s wedding. A few had gone with him to fetch the bride, while the other men stayed behind to help.
After Yun Hao returned with Xu Wenwan, Chen Xiaoli led the bride into a room.
For the duration of the wedding festivities, Village Chief Xu and his wife were not supposed to visit. However, according to custom, Xu Chongfeng, Xu Chongshan, and Chen Xiaoli, as the sister-in-law, were required to be present.
Chen Xiaoli had been through this before, so she was responsible for supervising Xu Wenwan’s conduct.
The people bustling around the courtyard saw the bride had been brought back and immediately crowded around. "How was it? The procession to get the bride must have been lively!"
The question was mainly directed at Hu Ziqiang.
Yun Hao was the groom and had his own duties to attend to, so when Hu Ziqiang, who had gone along to help, returned, the crowd immediately swarmed him with questions.
For a moment, Hu Ziqiang didn’t know how he should answer.
It was lively, true, but it was also genuinely embarrassing. At the time, even he, a good friend, had been too ashamed to step forward. Fortunately, Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan had acted quickly.
But how was he supposed to put that into words?
If he said it was lively, it would sound like he was mocking Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan.
But if he said it wasn’t lively, that would be even worse. How could a wedding not be lively?
In the end, Hu Ziqiang came up with an answer.
"It was alright. Just alright."
Everyone gave him strange looks.
Weddings were supposed to be boisterous affairs. For Hu Ziqiang to just say it was "alright," everyone immediately sensed that something must have happened.
Gu Jiaojiao, standing outside the courtyard, spotted Chen Ruoyu and immediately waved her over.
Chen Ruoyu walked out.
Gu Jiaojiao quickly handed her two yuan. "Give this as my gift money, would you?"
"You’re already here. Why don’t you just give it yourself?"
Gu Jiaojiao shook her head. "I can’t. It’ll start rumors."
From the moment she appeared, people had been stealing glances between her and Yun Hao. Gu Jiaojiao was certain that if she actually went inside, there was no telling what kind of rumors would be flying around by tomorrow.
Besides, after Yun Hao had come to her and said a bunch of nonsense last time, Gu Jiaojiao wanted absolutely nothing to do with him.
Chen Ruoyu took the money, then asked, "Did something happen on the road? I feel like everyone’s acting strange."
Yun Hao was beaming when he left, but he looked as frosty as a winter’s day when he returned.
Xu Wenwan didn’t look happy either.
The way those two used to be all lovey-dovey at the educated youth post was enough to make your teeth ache. Now, on their wedding day, they were giving each other the cold shoulder. It was truly bizarre.
When Chen Ruoyu came over, she didn’t pull Gu Jiaojiao aside to talk. They just stood there, next to Chen JianShe and Leng Yuan.
Hearing Chen Ruoyu’s question, Chen JianShe immediately jumped in.
"You have no idea how hilarious the procession was. The two of them fell flat on their faces right as they stepped out the door."
Chen Ruoyu’s eyes widened. "They fell?"
Chen JianShe nodded. "Yep, they fell. It was like this."
He began to gesture wildly as he described the scene to Chen Ruoyu.
He then gave a vivid, blow-by-blow account of the moment, which had been so awkward you could have died of second-hand embarrassment.
