CHAPTER 1182: CHAPTER 1182: IS THIS THE BRIDE’S FATHER?

Shen Jiayi’s colleague seemed a bit surprised, because just a few days ago, she hadn’t heard that Shen Jiayi had a boyfriend, but now, unexpectedly, one suddenly appeared.

Originally, she was planning to mock Shen Jiayi for not having a boyfriend, but now, seeing Xiao Zheng show up, she immediately changed her mind.

She looked Xiao Zheng up and down, and the bride said to Shen Jiayi, "Is your boyfriend very hungry?"

Before Shen Jiayi could speak, Xiao Zheng already jumped in and said, "These things here are really quite tasty, can I get a takeaway?"

As soon as these words were out, the crowd burst into laughter.

Those who could attend this wedding, most were friends or partners of the small leader, rather wealthy. Those who weren’t rich, for show, would absolutely not behave so vulgarly.

In their eyes, Xiao Zheng’s actions resembled that of a country bumpkin who hadn’t seen much of the world.

While they laughed at Xiao Zheng, they also used him to highlight their own status, an action that Xiao Zheng found truly ridiculous.

"Is this your boyfriend?" the bride said with a chuckle, addressing Xiao Zheng.

Hearing the laughter all around, Shen Jiayi looked slightly embarrassed, but after a moment, she straightened up and walked over to Xiao Zheng, wrapping an arm around his and said, "That’s right, he’s my boyfriend."

The small leader said nothing on the side, his eyes constantly on Shen Jiayi. Shen Jiayi was dressed appropriately today, looking like a delicate lily, exuding an amazing allure.

The bare gaze was undisguised, and Xiao Zheng glanced coldly at the small leader, thought for a moment, and fiddled with his phone.

After putting the phone back in his pocket, Xiao Zheng raised his head and directly looked at the small leader, saying, "This should be the bride’s father, right? You two really look alike."

Once he said this, the scene that was filled with laughter instantly quietened down, turning silent.

The small leader’s face turned gloomy in an instant, though he wasn’t actually that old, probably in his thirties, and the bride was in her twenties, even with an age gap, it wasn’t that much, roughly over ten years.

But with Xiao Zheng saying it this way, it completely changed the flavor, sounding like the groom was an old bull eating young grass.

Even though they looked somewhat different, it would never reach the standard of a father-daughter appearance.

However, speaking of age difference, these two indeed had some gap.

Although everyone present was here to celebrate the wedding, they all knew better that the reason the girl chose the small leader was for his money. Otherwise, with the bride’s materialistic nature, how could she ever fancy a thirty-something man with nothing?

"What are you talking about?" The small leader’s face looked extremely unpleasant, shouting, "I’m the groom."

Xiao Zheng looked at the small leader with a mock surprised expression, and then said apologetically, "I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I really just mistook you."

The bride standing by looked somewhat displeased too, as she didn’t believe Xiao Zheng simply made a mistake, knowing clearly he said it on purpose to back Shen Jiayi up.

Actually, the bride didn’t mind. Her goal today was indeed to provoke, after glancing at Shen Jiayi, she continued looking at Xiao Zheng and said, "So you are Shen Jiayi’s boyfriend, I’m really a bit disappointed."

"In what way?" Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

The bride sneered, glanced at Shen Jiayi and said with arrogance, "In terms of looks and figure, although Shen Jiayi can’t compare to me, she still counts as a beauty, right? Her boyfriend turns out to be someone like you, isn’t that disappointing?"

Upon hearing the bride’s words, Shen Jiayi’s face darkened instantly; she would never allow anyone to slander Xiao Zheng in her presence.

She turned to look at Xiao Zheng, initially worried, but she noticed that Xiao Zheng still wore a faint smile, as if those words weren’t directed at him.

And Xiao Zheng’s indifferent expression made the bride feel a blow to her ego, because if she mocked someone and her mockery had no effect, being directly ignored, that was a kind of humiliation.

So the bride continued, "Let’s not talk about other things first, just look at your clothes. If I’m not mistaken, you probably bought them at the pedestrian street, right?"

The crowd once again broke out in laughter. The pedestrian street mostly sold low-priced clothes, or high-end replicas, in other words, those buying things there mostly belonged to the lower tiers of society.

After all, if someone considered themselves from the upper echelons, how would they go to pedestrian street to buy a half-sleeve for US$ 40 to US$ 50?

Take the suit Xiao Zheng wore now, at pedestrian street, that suit wouldn’t exceed US$ 200.

Xiao Zheng chuckled, nodding with surprise, "You’ve got quite the sharp eye. Right, this suit is indeed from pedestrian street, you wouldn’t believe how cheap things are there, look at this fabric, just US$ 200."

The bride and the small leader’s cheeks twitched slightly, puzzled at whether Xiao Zheng was truly naive or just pretending. Could he not tell that they were mocking him?

"A rather interesting young man, but today’s occasion isn’t one suitable for someone of your status," said the small leader, smiling insincerely, while eyeing Shen Jiayi’s perfect body lecherously.

It was clear that the small leader, unwilling to resign, if he hadn’t been fooled into bed by the current bride, he definitely wouldn’t marry the current bride.

Shen Jiayi was his aim.

As for what the bride said before, about Shen Jiayi not having good looks or figure, not only Xiao Zheng found it ridiculous but even the surrounding guests felt a bit awkward.

Even if not acquainted, at first glance it was clear, Shen Jiayi’s beauty was way above the bride’s.

Plus, Shen Jiayi standing quietly there gave a tranquil feeling, whereas the bride, instead of a frosty rose, resembled a shrew.
