Chapter 159: Chapter 125: Please welcome the bride and groom, the new couple, to the stage. Applause! [Major Chapter, 6000 words!]_1

In the manor, a flower garden stage had been set up in the center, decorated with snow-white gauze, surrounded by champagne, pastries, fruits, and desserts.

On both sides of the stage center were baskets of roses, all uniformly vibrant and passionate red.

The crowd around was gathered together, chatting and laughing.

Bai Zhentian was talking with several elders, his face beaming with smiles.

“Old Master Bai, I have brought Ye Fan with me,” Zhao Xiaotian said with a smile, respectfully nodding to the other two elders before leaving.

“Grandfather, who are these gentlemen?” Ye Fan asked the elders politely.

By the looks of it, they were no ordinary men.

“These gentlemen are your grandfather’s brothers-in-arms from back in the day. I specially invited them to come to your wedding with Susu,” Old Master Bai replied with a smile.

“Time flies. Back in the day, the three of us joined the special forces together. Now, we all have our own duties. Your grandfather didn’t stay in the military. He came home, got married, and has been doing some small business, keeping his wife company, hahaha. By the way, I only found out about the Bai Corporation’s affairs when I arrived yesterday. But, you have a fine grandson-in-law!” one of the elders, dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit, laughed and said.

His slightly plump face looked very friendly.

“Old Jiang, yes, I am indeed happy to have such a grandson-in-law. Oh, Ye Fan, this is your Grandfather Jiang Lei. He’s a general and currently the principal of a military academy. And this gentleman is your Grandfather Wu Rongkuan, also quite an important figure, a senior general. You know, our country only has about twenty senior generals. They are both very impressive, and even I listen to them. They are very busy people, and you should learn from them!” Bai Zhentian said with a smile.

“Big brother, don’t say that. If you hadn’t applied for retirement back then, you might have ranked the same as us. No matter how high the rank, you are still our big brother. You saved our lives in the military!” Wu Rongkuan said solemnly, looking at Bai Zhentian with eyes filled with respect.

If Bai Zhentian had not saved his life back then, he would have died in that war and would not have become a senior general.

“Exactly, big brother, you can’t say things like that. We know that without you, we wouldn’t have everything we have now. Yesterday, when I heard about the Bai Group and your family’s situation, I and the others were furious. Such a big matter, and we’re only hearing about it now. If we had known earlier, we would have helped you avenge this!” Old Third Jiang Lei said angrily.

Indeed, they lived so far away, near the border, and it would take a week just to get there. That is why they couldn’t get this news.

If they had been around, how could they let their big brother face such peril?

Among the three, Bai Zhentian was one or two years older, so he was regarded as the big brother. His actions were always steady, and they all respected him highly.

Wu Rongkuan was the second, and Jiang Lei was the third. Jiang Lei was the youngest among them and had always been the most impulsive, but now, he had changed a lot.

Ye Fan, upon listening to his grandfather’s introduction, was instantly shocked.

Who would have thought that these two people in front of him were a senior general and a general, respectively?

You should know that there are not many generals in a country, not exceeding a hundred, and when it comes to senior generals, there are only about twenty-one nationwide, and this elder before him was one of them.

The two were dressed in Sun Yat-sen suits, Wu Rongkuan in a black one, and Jiang Lei in an earthy-colored one, giving them extraordinarily distinct auras.

“Grandfather Jiang, Grandfather Wu, it’s an honor to have you at Susu’s and my wedding,” Ye Fan said respectfully to the two elders.

These two men, no, including Old Master Bai, were all heroes who defended and protected the nation!

Naturally, they were not to be underestimated!

To defend and protect the nation, that was, indeed, the most sacred and honorable duty.

“Since you are my big brother’s grandson-in-law, that makes you one of us too, so don’t be so formal,” Jiang Lei said with a smile.

“Indeed, big brother, your grandson-in-law is excellent!” Wu Rongkuan said, his square face full of praise.

Knowing the identities of Old Third and himself, Ye Fan remained so composed, truly not an average man.

Not to mention, he didn’t try to please or connect with them in various ways upon learning of their distinguished status, as some younger people might do.

This Ye Fan had integrity!

Indeed, heroes emerge from the young.

“Thank you, Grandfather Wu, for your praise,” Ye Fan said, a bit surprised, as he hadn’t done anything noteworthy.

Why was he suddenly receiving compliments?

However, he didn’t pay it much mind.

He thought it might just be some polite conversation.

Ye Fan could see that almost all the guests had arrived.

Many looked familiar; he had seen them once or twice at the company and remembered them a little.

It seemed that everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived.

At that moment, a suave-looking emcee in a tuxedo stepped onto the stage, holding a microphone, his face adorned with a brilliant smile.

“Welcome, everyone. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding of Mr. Ye Fan and Miss Bai Susu. Here, let us extend our most heartfelt blessings and congratulations to them!” The emcee said, leading the applauses first.
