The Path of Evolution

"Wedding in three days?"

Xue Qing was startled and looked at Zhao Hao sitting next to her with fear.

A scene from a movie appeared in her mind: On the wedding day, the groom suffered from pre-wedding phobia and fled the wedding scene...

Because she knew that Brother-in-law Zhao would refuse in his heart if he came to collect the certificate today.

Just because the two of them made such a fool of themselves together, Brother-in-law Zhao went to the Civil Affairs Bureau in order not to embarrass his sister-in-law.

Originally, there was still room for mediation. If the two were not suitable to be together, they could divorce quietly without anyone noticing.

But now both parents are posting on WeChat Moments and planning a wedding. They want the whole world to know about it.

This nature is completely different, and it may scare Zhao Hao into running away from the marriage.

Once this happens, the happy event turns into tragedy, and the two families will be embarrassed to see each other in the future.

Feeling the eyes of his sister-in-law, no, I should say his daughter-in-law, Zhao Hao thought that the other party was asking for help, so he took the responsibility manfully: "Uncle, oh no, father-in-law, let's just skip the wedding. Qing'er and I have said it a long time ago Okay, let’s travel and get married. Isn’t this popular among young people now? She and I will travel around the world and spend our honeymoon on the way.”

"Yes, yes, we are going to travel and get married!" Red Pepper nodded in agreement.

"How can that be done? There's not even a wedding. Who knew you two were getting married? It's so secretive and not open at all. If you two have children in the future, others will think they are illegitimate." Lin Xiuru objected strongly.

"Didn't you post it on WeChat Moments? There is an advantage to getting married while traveling. Relatives and friends don't have to give gifts or anything like that. It's too late for them to be happy." Zhao Hao tried to turn the tide.

"Yeah, when I used to work, many of my colleagues hated following others' weddings. Some people attended other people's weddings and congratulated them on the surface, but secretly cursed the bride and groom for an early divorce. Anyway, we have already received the certificate, and we don't want to be beaten at the wedding. People watch like monkeys, this form has no meaning." Red Pepper added, with a vague flavor of a husband singing and a wife accompanying her.

"What you say is too one-sided. It's because a few relatives and friends are gossiping behind your back, but most of them sincerely wish you well. For example, your second uncle and third aunt are more worried than us. They look forward to you marrying into a good family all day long." Xue Wen was looking at it. He seemed elegant, but once he made the decision, the whole family did not dare to object. He made the final decision: "It's okay for you to go on a honeymoon trip, but the wedding must be held! If you think there are any relatives or friends you don't like, we don't have to invite them."

"That's the truth." Zhao Zhicheng supported his in-laws and said arrogantly: "Don't say that this wedding is just to trick relatives and friends. As long as you come to the wedding, we will give a return gift to ensure that they make a steady profit. Just don’t pay compensation, so no one will gossip, right?”

Having said this, Lao Zhao opened up a new idea: "Son, I have something to tell you. The foundation you asked me to manage before anonymously funded many children in impoverished mountainous areas. I am not going to remain anonymous this time. , just use your name to donate 2 billion, part of it will be used to support those children, and the other part will be used to support the ten new [Evolver Middle Schools] established by Zhonghai."

Zhao Hao was startled: "Dad, isn't this a show? It doesn't look like your style?"

"Yes, I have taught you before that if you are truly charitable, there is no need to publicize it everywhere. But you must also analyze the actual situation. Up to now, some people still think that you are bankrupt, and some people think that you are eating soft rice. Do you think that your mother and I are thinking Does it feel good?" Zhao Zhicheng said in a deep tone: "I didn't care what others said before, but now that you are married, I don't want your child to be looked down upon by his friends in the future and say that his father is a fugitive from debt. What about another one? Marriage is a happy event, and it is inevitable that some mean aunts and uncles will come and make sarcastic remarks. Let’s donate this money to stop those bitches’ mouths first!”

"Yes, let's do it!" Su Yurong raised her hands in agreement.

Obviously, the old couple has suffered a lot from the negative news about their son in recent years.

Zhao Hao felt deeply powerless. If he objected at this time, he would arouse public outrage on the spot.

…

…

The former Moon Bay Villa is now the wedding room.

It is said that many people will suffer from insomnia the day before they go to get their certificates. After getting their certificates, they can easily get excited when they get home, for example, "He touched her desperately, and she touched him desperately," and then do it naturally.

Such a story did not happen to Zhao Hao and Xue Qing. They sat in the living room and looked at each other speechlessly, with sad faces.

After a long time, my sister-in-law said, "Isn't this the marriage you want?"

Zhao Hao smiled bitterly: "Now that it's like this, does it still matter whether it's what I want?"

"I think it's very important." Xue Qing said seriously: "If you feel wronged, it's still too late to regret it."

Zhao Hao was surprised: "Shouldn't you feel aggrieved? I have nothing to feel aggrieved about."

"I'm not wronged. This is a way of solving problems that I chose. Originally, I had reservations about the contract method of marriage. If two people like each other, there is no need to bind each other with something like a marriage certificate. But. But Our parents don't think so. Thanks to your cooperation, I finally have an explanation to my parents." Xue Qing became very rational, and her temperament was very similar to that of her sister.

Zhao Hao was in a daze for a moment, and his thoughts went back to many years ago.

At this time Xue Qing said again: "I want your sincerity, what do you think?"

"I have thought about getting married, and I have already been married. I had a wedding with Weiwei in Ice and Snow Castle. Although it is not recognized by the law, I think in my heart that it is the marriage of my dreams." Zhao Hao is also serious. Get up: "We are doing well now and have solved the biggest problem. From an evolutionary point of view, it has solved a big problem. To be honest, if I were to have a fake marriage with someone else, I might worry about this or that problem, but with I’m actually quite relieved that you’re getting married.”

Red Pepper was dumbfounded: "I see you looking sad, don't you feel any resistance in your heart?"

Zhao Hao scratched his hair and said with a smile: "This is probably the reason why I am so sad. I feel that I am not resisting my marriage to you at all. Why is this?"

Xue Qing felt a warmth in her heart, but her tone was fierce: "But when my dad talked about the wedding, you were obviously against it. There must be a reason for this, right?"

Zhao Hao blurted out: "Damn, I was surprised when I saw you. I thought you objected, so I objected!"

The sister-in-law thought about it carefully and realized that it was really the case. She asked curiously: "Then why do you want to oppose it?"

Zhao Hao said truthfully: "At that time, I was thinking that the wedding would make things bigger. If you meet someone you really like in the future, you will divorce me and be with that buddy. I won't care then, but your reputation is not good. It sounds great, but your relatives and friends shouldn’t describe you as a silver baby or something like that.”

Xue Qing's voice suddenly became much softer: "Is it just because you are my brother-in-law that you have done so much for me?"

"Not entirely, maybe I feel I owe you." Brother-in-law Zhao stared at his sister-in-law who put on the mask again, and said what was in his heart: "You don't have to wear a mask in the future. During the hundred years I spent in seclusion in Bahuang Liuhe, I have figured out a lot of things. I know that Yuerou once hypnotized me; I also know that every time you wear a mask in front of me, it is to prevent me from thinking of Weiwei; I also know that after Qin Sheng finished filming "Evolution" "The Road Trilogy" was stopped because he didn't want to make "The Road to Evolution 4: Lost Souls", which reminded me of unhappy past events."

Having said this, Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said with relief: "I am very grateful and honored to meet you in this life."
