Chapter 209: What Kind of Suffering is This in the Human World
Chapter 209
After Shi Li finished speaking, she had no further comments and focused intently on the bride and groom exchanging rings on stage.
At this moment, the Master of Ceremonies said, "The groom may now kiss the bride."
The handsome groom and beautiful bride kissed amidst the gaze of the crowd.
Following the Master of Ceremonies' lead in applauding, the wedding venue erupted in thunderous applause.
This was supposed to be a very romantic scene, and of course, most of the audience below thought so.
Except for some classmates who could hear Shi Li's inner thoughts, looking towards the groom's head, where there seemed to be an invisible green hat.
Shi Li's gaze was mostly fixed on the groomsman, his tailored suit accentuating the man's lean and fit physique.
Ji Feiyu perked up her ears, waiting for Shi Li to spoil the details of her brother's cause of death.
Although her brother had significant conflicts with their parents and her due to marrying this sister-in-law, and had scolded her several times for not being respectful enough towards his wife, he was still her blood brother. Before meeting the new sister-in-law, her brother had been very good to her.
Since Ji Feiyu now knew her brother's life was short, she would definitely save his life.
As for the new sister-in-law getting involved with her brother's good friend after his death, she wasn't a good sister-in-law and was no longer within Ji Feiyu's consideration.
Now, nothing was more important than her brother's life.
Fortunately, she could now learn about her brother's cause of death through Shi Li and ultimately avoid it.
However, Ji Feiyu waited and waited but couldn't get Shi Li to speak again.
She knew which table Shi Li was assigned to, and upon closer inspection, she saw that Shi Li's table had already started eating secretly.
To ensure the guests paid attention to the wedding ceremony, the hotel had only served cold dishes before the ceremony, with hot dishes and main courses to be served after the on-stage rituals were completed.
Despite only having cold dishes on the table, it didn't stop Shi Li from quietly eating with her head down.
There was no choice; this gossip was truly unpalatable, making observers feel nauseous.
Looking at the bride and groomsman for too long would affect her appetite, so to preserve it, she decided it was better not to look at the bride and focus on eating instead.
With two appetite-ruining people standing on stage, the food at this hotel was also mediocre, with the taste of pre-prepared dishes evident in just one bite.
Shi Li couldn't help but criticize, [No wonder the bride didn't choose this hotel for her second wedding, she's quite thoughtful]
In her previous life, Shi Li didn't attend the bride's first wedding. For a high school student, a rare day off was naturally spent sleeping at home or solving practice papers at the desk.
Going to a hotel to attend a stranger's wedding wasn't worth Shi Li wasting half a day.
She didn't need to rely on attending one more meal to eat back the gift money.
Later, when Shi Li was in her senior year of high school, Huang Jie and Shi's father were going to attend the wedding of the bride and the groomsman.
Shi Li casually asked about it and learned about the bride's romantic entanglements: in her first wedding, this husband was the groomsman, and in her second wedding, the groomsman became the groom.
Although Shi Li's academic tasks were heavy at that time, she still made time to attend the wedding of this divine couple.
Although the bride was an orphan without parents, the groomsman was different. The groomsman and the groom were from the same social circle, so Shi Li's parents naturally received an invitation to the bride's second wedding.
This wedding left a deep impression on Shi Li.
Shi Li regretted at that time why she had missed the bride's first wedding due to laziness in going out.
Now that she had another opportunity, Shi Li certainly couldn't miss it.
Having attended the bride's wedding twice, Shi Li ultimately had only one feeling: the food at this hotel wasn't as good as the one where the bride would get married next time.
Ji Feiyu was dumbfounded. She was eager to know the cause of her brother's death, but Shi Li only cared about whether the food was good or not.
Amidst Shi Li's criticisms and Ji Feiyu's anxious waiting, the wedding ceremony ended, and the hotel waiters began serving dishes with trays in hand.
The newlyweds went off stage together to change into their toast outfits. The only bridesmaid, seeing Ji Feiyu sneaking around not far from the stage, called out to her, "You accompany your sister-in-law to change clothes, I need to go to the restroom."
Saying this, she hung the bag she was carrying onto Ji Feiyu.
The bride not only had no parents but also no close female friends, so she couldn't find a bridesmaid.
The only bridesmaid was Ji Feiyu's female cousin acting as one.
With the wedding bag unexpectedly thrust into Ji Feiyu's hands, her newlywed brother urged her, "Follow your sister-in-law and take good care of her, she's unfamiliar with this place."
Ji Feiyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. If it were usual, hearing her brother say this, she would have surely retorted with a couple of lines, like "Just your wife is precious, I'm just worthless wild grass."
It was also because they knew Ji Feiyu's stubborn temperament and feared she might disrupt the wedding and embarrass them that they had Ji Feiyu's female cousin act as the bridesmaid.
Ji Feiyu thought about how her brother was already a dying man, with a huge green hat looming over his head.
Considering these two points, Ji Feiyu decided not to quibble with him.
She followed behind her new sister-in-law into the changing room, and even if she heard things she didn't like, she didn't lose her temper on the spot.
Seeing their daughter being so obedient and well-behaved today, the Ji family parents were surprised and felt that their daughter had matured.
The parents were comforted, and immediately transferred a seven-figure sum as pocket money to Ji Feiyu, telling her to spend it as she wished.
Ji Feiyu's tolerance for her new sister-in-law and brother was ultimately limited. Upon seeing her female cousin, she quickly hung the wedding bag on her, "I'll leave this to you, I need to use the restroom too."
Ji Feiyu didn't really need to use the restroom; she just didn't want to look at this new sister-in-law.
Ji Feiyu's female cousin's face instantly soured. She didn't care whether her cousin liked this new sister-in-law or not, after all, it wasn't her own brother's wife, just someone she'd see once a year during festivals.
However, she really couldn't get along with this new sister-in-law.
Ji Feiyu's female cousin maintained a polite yet stiff smile as she followed behind the toasting bride and groom, with a group of groomsmen following her: they were the main force for blocking drinks.
Soon, the toast reached Shi Li's table. Everyone at the table was civilized, and no one deliberately tried to force drinks on the groom.
In the absence of forced drinking, the best man casually held a bottle of red wine, looking like a male model encouraging customers to buy drinks in a bar.
Aliali: 67358286d72ede9349450622Until the end of this wedding, Ji Feiyu still hadn't heard Shi Li spoil the cause of her brother's death.
Ji Feiyu and Shi Li weren't classmates in the same class, and they had no prior relationship. She feared that approaching abruptly would make Shi Li suspicious.
In the end, Ji Feiyu only asked her classmates in the gossip group to please tell her if they learned any clues about her brother's death.
The classmates were still waiting to see the next exciting development, so they naturally agreed readily.
After finishing lunch, Shi Li returned home with her parents. She lay at home for two days until the third day when her female cousin said she had a blind date and wanted Shi Li to accompany her for moral support.
Shi Li agreed to go with her female cousin. They arrived at the blind date location early.
Shi Li hid to the side quietly playing on her phone until she heard a man's magnetic voice, "I'm sorry I'm late."
"You're not late, I'm just in the habit of arriving early."
Shi Li looked up, wanting to see what the man looked like, only to find that it was the best man she had seen not long ago.
Shi Li: ??? What kind of earthly suffering is this?
