A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Zhuang Zhoucheng finally returned to his seat while the newlyweds were having their ceremony. Of course, he had already drunk almost enough.

There's another round later, and there's no way I can escape getting drunk today.

"What are you thinking about?"

When Zhuang Zhoucheng sat down, he leaned towards Huo Yan, and the sound he exhaled was slightly pungent with the smell of alcohol.

Huo Yan tilted his head to avoid the pungent smell of alcohol coming from Zhuang Zhoucheng and turned to look at him.

"Don't drink so much. What if we can't go back?" Huo Yan said sullenly.

"Are you worried about me?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked her.

Huo Yan nodded, still turned sideways, and reached out to touch Zhuang Zhoucheng's face which was burned by the smell of alcohol.

"I won't take care of you if you're drunk, and you're so fat I can't move you..."

"Do you think I'm fat?" Zhuang Zhoucheng suddenly asked back.

Huo Yan was stunned. What she wanted to talk about was not the issue of whether he was fat or not. What she wanted to tell him was to stop drinking. It wasn't his wedding, so why did he drink so much?

She shook her head: "Not bad."

Zhuang Zhoucheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. He was somewhat unable to cater to her aesthetic taste. First of all, he was not the thin type. His bone structure determined that no matter how thin he was, his body would still be burly.

Ji Wuwei and An Jinyu held hands and walked to the main table, toasting their family first.

When he walked over, his eyes fell directly on Huo Yan's face. Every time they didn't see each other for a while, she would give him a little joy.

Maybe this is a change unique to girls of her age. This time I saw her, she was more mature, quieter, and her facial features had grown more. She was mostly cute before.

Now she is charming, sitting there quietly, looking so delicate and endearing.

Ji Wuwei was looking for her as soon as he entered the wedding banquet, and he felt relieved only after he was sure that she had come.

It's good enough to just take a look, there's nothing more to ask for.

Ji Wuwei and his fiancée were standing at the main table, and everyone at the table stood up.

Ji Wuwei just glanced at Huo Yan quickly, then toasted the old man first, then his parents, and then his uncle, aunt, and uncle.

After this is over, the Zhuang family will follow the newlyweds to each table to toast and persuade them.

"Zhuang Zhoucheng..."

Huo Yan grabbed Zhuang Zhoucheng's hand:

"You've already drunk a lot. If you get really drunk, I really won't take care of you!"

Huo Yan was a little angry. She had seen him drink so much alcohol, and he still wanted to drink?

Just drink him to death.

Zhuang Zhoucheng held Huo Yan's hand and looked back at her. Seeing the worry and anger in her eyes, Zhuang Zhoucheng felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Be good, let go. I owe it to Wuwei. I should be drunk to death. Just listen, okay?"

Some of his actions towards his eldest nephew were indeed excessive, but he did not forget them.

"Zhuang Zhoucheng..."

Huo Yan's hand was pulled away by Zhuang Zhoucheng, and now he grabbed his pocket again.

"Be good, there are so many people watching."

Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled gently, spoke with a doting tone, and pulled her hand away:

"I promise I'll be back soon, ok?"

Huo Yan nodded, and was indeed aware that she was receiving a lot of attention. She felt a little embarrassed, withdrew her hand, watched Zhuang Zhoucheng walk away, and then sat down quietly again.

Only she and the two sisters Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ke were left at the main table.

The others were all elders, the old man, Zhuang Jinzhao and his wife, Zhuang Jinhuan and his wife, Zhuang Jinse, Zhuang Yu Nuan and his wife, and Zhuang Zhoucheng were all "walking around the table" with the bride's immediate family members.

Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't bring Huo Yan with him at the beginning, so he naturally didn't bring her now. With her alcohol tolerance, she would get drunk after just one glass of white wine, so it would be better to let her eat something.

The table was empty, so the sisters Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ke sat next to Huo Yan. They did this because they listened to their mother's advice and wanted to get in touch with their aunt-in-law more often. The two children were very obedient, mainly because they were very curious about Huo Yan.

"Aunt, why did you marry my uncle?" Jiang Ke asked directly.

Before Huo Yan could react, Jiang Zhen asked again, "Aunt, have you graduated from college? What year were you in? How old are you?"

"..."

Huo Yan was embarrassed, and Jiang Ke asked again:

"Aunt, have you seen Brother Wuwei's fiancée? She looks so much like you."

Huo Yan was so choked that he had no words to answer, and immediately asked Jiang Zhen:

"Zhenzhen, I heard from my elder sister that you are taking the TOEFL to study abroad, right? How are your results?"

"Hey, don't mention it. It's so annoying. It's just test-taking all day long. There are so many people taking IELTS and TOEFL, how can I pass them?"

Jiang Zhen became a little upset when she heard this annoying question. She really wanted to run away from home. There were exams all day long. She was a human being, not a computer. Do they know how much pressure she was under if they pushed her like this all day long?

"Relax a little, maybe it will be more effective."

When Huo Yan saw Jiang Zhen's face full of regret, he knew that this child must have reached a dead end in his studies. This was a typical case of being bored.

Jiang Ke was breaking the shrimps apart, sucking the juice from them, and saying as he ate:

"Aunt, please don't sympathize with my sister. My sister has been at home for two years, including this year, since the college entrance examination. She has been taking the exam all the time and has not passed it yet. She can't pass it."

"Jiang Ke, such a fat shrimp can't fill your mouth?"

Jiang Zhen roared angrily. It was such a misfortune for her to have a sister who would sabotage her like this!

Jiang Ke pursed his lips secretly, turned to Huo Yan and whispered:

"See, she's dumb but won't let me say it. My mom keeps telling everyone how smart and capable she is, and how she has all sorts of talents. But it's all a lie. All those awards she won for musical instruments were won by others in competitions on her behalf."

Jiang Zhen's face turned pale when she heard her sister reveal her own affairs. They exposed each other's shortcomings:

"Do you think you're better than me? Didn't someone else take your high school entrance exam for you? And you even got into a key middle school. Was that your test score?"

"That wasn't my exam. I've never hidden it from anyone. I don't want to go to a key middle school, but my mom insisted on having someone else take the exam for me. What else can I do?" Jiang Ke snorted.

Huo Yan was dumbfounded. After all this time, the two talented daughters that her elder sister-in-law was so proud of were...

Thinking of how Zhuang Jinhuan praised her two children in front of her family, she sighed secretly. She must not let her future children be like that.

How can the halo be faked?

"Why do you need others to replace you? Others can replace you for a while and give you honor, but can they replace you and give you honor for a lifetime?" Huo Yan asked puzzledly.

Where is the innocence of children in this way? They are packaged with lies and illusions from a young age. Others compete and take exams on their behalf. Getting good grades is not enough. The main thing is that they are asked to pretend that they won the awards. How can we educate children this way?

Won’t such children have psychological distortions when they grow up?

Jiang Ke didn't care. He looked at Huo Yan and said:

"The dealer doesn't need children who are not outstanding."

This one word revealed everything, and Huo Yan was stunned for a long time. Being born into a prominent family, the pressure has been there since birth.
