Chapter 404: Liu Hongchang learns of He Wenhui's marriage

Hearing Yang Maixiang's words, Liu Hongchang was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. He said, "Aren't we friends? You're getting married, so I have to go and help out, and give you a gift."

Yang Maixiang looked at Liu Hongchang and said, "No, no need. We have no relationship whatsoever. Besides, my marriage is my own business."

Liu Hongchang couldn't help but ask, "Maixiang, who are you marrying?"

Yang Maixiang looked at Liu Hongchang and said, "You want to know? I'm not telling you."

Seeing Yang Maixiang say this, Liu Hongchang awkwardly turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing Liu Hongchang about to leave, Yang Maixiang couldn't help but provoke him: "Liu Hongchang, not only am I married, He Wenhui is married too."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongchang immediately became agitated and exclaimed, "What? He Wenhui got married?"

Yang Maixiang nodded and said, "Yes, she got married, and I even know who she married."

Unable to contain himself, Liu Hongchang walked up to Yang Maixiang and loudly questioned her, "Who? Who did He Wenhui marry?"

Seeing Liu Hongchang's nervousness, Yang Maixiang immediately spoke in riddles, "Want to know? I'm not telling you, guess for yourself."

Liu Hongchang suddenly realized what was happening and said, "Yang Maixiang, you're deliberately provoking me and lying to me."

Seeing Liu Hongchang's reaction, Yang Maixiang said, "Liu Hongchang, whether I'm lying to you or not, just go and see for yourself. Today is He Wenhui's three-day homecoming."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongchang could no longer remain calm and immediately ran towards He Wenhui's house.

Upon arriving near He Wenhui's home, Liu Hongchang immediately stopped and inquired about He Wenhui's situation from the surrounding neighbors.

When Liu Hongchang heard that He Wenhui was really married, he was struck dumb.

Just then, Liu Hongchang saw He Wenhui come out to take out the trash and couldn't help but go up to her.

He Wenhui looked at Liu Hongchang walking towards her and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Master Liu, it's you."

Liu Hongchang couldn't help but ask, "He Wenhui, are you married?"

He Wenhui said with a smile, "Yes, I got married. I'm sorry, Master Liu, I didn't have a wedding ceremony, so I didn't invite you."

Liu Hongchang looked at He Wenhui, unable to believe what he was seeing, and said, "He Wenhui, how could you get married?"

Hearing Liu Hongchang's words, He Wenhui asked in confusion, "Master Liu, what's wrong with me getting married?"

Liu Hongchang couldn't help but say, "I...you...why didn't you tell me? You got married so suddenly? Who is your husband? Is he good to you? What if he's a bad person?"

Upon hearing this, He Wenhui couldn't help but rebuke, "Liu Hongchang, Master Liu, what do you mean by that? Do you think I don't know what my man is like? Besides, I'm married, what does that have to do with you? Are we that close?"

Just then, Zhang Lei came out and overheard their conversation. He couldn't help but step forward, casually putting his arm around He Wenhui and whispering, "Wenhui, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

He Wenhui looked at Zhang Lei and said with a smile, "Honey, this guy is so strange."

Zhang Lei pretended to just notice Liu Hongchang and said, "Liu Hongchang, it's you."

Upon seeing Zhang Lei, Liu Hongchang couldn't help but exclaim, "You? Zhang Lei, it's you?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it's me. By the way, Liu Hongchang, this is my wife, He Wenhui."

Liu Hongchang looked at Zhang Lei and said incredulously, "Zhang Lei, what makes you think you can marry her?"

Zhang Lei looked at Liu Hongchang and said with a smile, "Liu Hongchang, why should I marry her? I don't need to tell you, do I? Although we have a good relationship, it's none of your business who I marry."

Unable to contain himself, Liu Hongchang stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Lei by the collar, saying, "How could you do this?"

Seeing this, He Wenhui quickly stopped him: "Liu Hongchang, what are you doing? Let's talk this out. If you keep doing this, I'll call the police."

Hearing He Wenhui's words, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Wenhui, don't worry, I think there must be some misunderstanding. I'll talk to Liu Hongchang about it. You go home first."

He Wenhui looked at Zhang Lei worriedly: "Master..."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "It's nothing."

He Wenhui then walked home with peace of mind, but she couldn't help but look back at Zhang Lei's situation as she walked.

After He Wenhui returned home, Zhang Lei looked at Liu Hongchang and said, "Liu Hongchang, let's go over there and talk."

Seeing the alley Zhang Lei pointed to, Liu Hongchang couldn't help but follow him.

As the two reached the alley entrance, Zhang Lei looked at Liu Hongchang and said, "Liu Hongchang, weren't you a little too agitated today?"

Liu Hongchang looked at Zhang Lei and couldn't help but ask, "Zhang Lei, how could you do this? Stealing someone else's girlfriend! Do you even know I like He Wenhui?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei feigned surprise and said, "What? You like He Wenhui? I've never heard He Wenhui mention you. I always thought you liked Yang Maixiang."

Liu Hongchang said angrily, "When did I say I liked Yang Maixiang? I've always liked He Wenhui."

When Zhang Lei saw Liu Hongchang, he pretended to be regretful and said, "Hey, look at the mess you've made. I'm already married to Wenhui and you're only telling me now. Besides, you never told me before, and Wenhui never mentioned you to me."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Liu Hongchang couldn't help but say, "I didn't even have a chance to tell Wenhui before you..."

Hearing Liu Hongchang's words, Zhang Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Liu Hongchang, you can't blame me for this. Wenhui said she didn't have a boyfriend and no one liked her, so I pursued her. Besides, I helped her mother cure her eyes, and she quickly agreed to marry me."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Liu Hongchang felt deeply remorseful, never expecting that He Wenhui's mother's eyes could actually be cured.

At this moment, Liu Hongchang thought to himself that He Wenhui must have been with Zhang Lei because he helped her cure her mother's eyes, and he couldn't help but blame himself for not thinking of this sooner.

Zhang Lei looked at Liu Hongchang and said, "Liu Hongchang, since He Wenhui and I are already married, and you've always had feelings for her, I hope you won't come to see my wife alone anymore. I don't want our relationship to get any worse."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Liu Hongchang was so angry he was practically fuming.

Zhang Lei then grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and said, "Liu Hongchang, don't be discouraged. Since you can't attend our wedding, take some candy back with you to share in the joy."

As he spoke, he shoved the candy directly into Liu Hongchang's hand and turned back.

As Liu Hongchang watched Zhang Lei leave, along with the candy in his hand, he clenched his fist so tightly that the candy was crushed into powder.
