Chapter 723: Wedding!

The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
Song Chen didn’t speak for a long time, and after what seemed like an eternity, he finally muttered, “That’s something Chu Cichen would say.”
“But weren’t you him six years ago?”
The exact same body, the exact same memories…
Song Chen couldn’t deny it. Six years ago, he was the exact copy of Chu Cichen.
Shen Ruojing continued, “I believe that back then, no matter what choices you made, they were forced. But what about now? Song Chen, you no longer have the upper hand. We have seen through all your cards…”
Song Chen remained silent.
At this moment, Chu Cichen suddenly said, “Let’s make a deal.”
Song Chen asked, “What deal?”
Chu Cichen replied, “Consider us owing you a favor this time. In the future, you can ask us for one in return, as long as we can meet your conditions.”
A favor…
Conditions…
Song Chen didn’t respond.
His silence seemed to suggest that this matter was negotiable.
Shen Ruojing coaxed, “After all, even if you threaten my father with my life, it’s useless. You won’t get the patent. So why not both of us take a step back? A promise from me could be an opportunity for you in the future, right?”
Song Chen sneered, “I want you to love me, not him. Can you do that?”
“No,” Shen Ruojing replied bluntly.
“…” This answer left Song Chen slightly taken aback, and he immediately got upset. “You can’t do it and yet you dare to make a promise?”
Shen Ruojing raised an eyebrow. “The premise of our promise is that we can meet your conditions. However, this condition cannot be met.”
Song Chen.
After a moment, he took a deep breath, “I want a promise from Chu Cichen.”
Shen Ruojing immediately looked at Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen nodded. “Okay, speak.”
“I haven’t thought about it yet. In the future, when I do, I want you to help me with something!”
Chu Cichen then laid out the terms. “This promise can’t harm anyone. It must be morally and legally right.”
“I know.” Song Chen chuckled. “For instance, after we meet, I want you to bow to me. That won’t be too difficult for you, right?”
Shen Ruojing’s eyes immediately became sharp.
Just as she was about to instinctively refuse, Chu Cichen said, “That’s fine.”
“Alright, it’s settled then!” Song Chen laughed. “Didn’t expect you to be so flexible.”
“Thanks for the compliment,” Chu Cichen replied neither servilely nor overbearingly.
Song Chen humphed again and then said in a dull voice, “I’ll put his parents on a plane. But I’m not sure if they can make it to the wedding tomorrow.”
Shen Ruojing breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
Song Chen didn’t say anything else, but he didn’t hang up either.
Since Shen Ruojing and the others were the ones asking for his help, she decided to wait quietly.
Sure enough, after a short while, she heard Song Chen speak again. “I’ve sent someone to take them to the airport. At tomorrow’s wedding, give Dr. Xu my congratulations.”
“Okay, I will definitely pass on the message.”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Ruojing stared at her phone…
Then she looked up at Chu Cichen. The look in both their eyes conveyed the same message… Song Chen wasn’t as bad as they thought.
Shen Ruojing asked, “If you experienced what Song Chen had gone through in these six years, would you have turned bad?”
Chu Cichen shook his head. “No, after seeing various things, a person’s fundamental values are set. Although they may change with time, the baseline is there. It wouldn’t get too bad…”
Shen Ruojing nodded, agreeing with his point of view.
Children lacked a sense of right and wrong and were easily led astray, but adults had that kind of sense.
Not long after, Dr. Xu called, his voice full of gratitude. “Miss Shen, Mr. Chu, my parents have boarded the plane… However, it will take over ten hours to fly from Country Y to here. I’m afraid they might not make it to the wedding tomorrow, but it’s fine. They can make it to the family dinner in the evening…”
His voice was excited. “Thank you.”
Shen Ruojing only said one sentence, “Take good care of Rong Rong.”
Dr. Xu’s voice was choked with emotion, and he assured them, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone harm Rong Rong again.”
“Remember your promise.” Shen Ruojing’s voice was threatening. “If you dare to bully Rong Rong, I’ll make sure you have no place to be buried!”
“Okay.”
Dr. Xu hung up the phone.
Only then did Shen Ruojing finally relax.
Everything had been sorted out, so the wedding should be able to proceed smoothly tomorrow, right?
Shen Ruojing thought this as she looked at Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen also patted her head. “The wedding tomorrow definitely won’t have any more problems.”
“Let’s hope so.”
Shen Ruojing said, feeling a little nervous in her heart.
But also a little excited.
This was her first time going to be a bridesmaid…
Time quickly passed to the next day!
Shen Ruojing went to the Rong family’s house early in the morning. After changing into her bridesmaid’s dress, she sat next to Rong Rong.
Rong Rong’s face was full of happy smiles…
Looking at her, Shen Ruojing suddenly imagined her future wedding with Chu Cichen…
On the other side, as the best man, Chu Cichen was accompanying Dr. Xu to pickup the bride….
