On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 12 No More Banquets
Wen Ci implied that he would lead a hard life after joining the army, and Jiang's father, who was about to say something more, immediately shut his mouth.

"I heard you're not planning to hold a banquet in the capital?"

Huo Jingyuan nodded: "This vacation isn't long enough. I can only stay in Beijing for one more day at most, so I plan to go back to the Northwest to handle this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhenjun, sitting in the main seat, frowned and looked at Wen Ci: "No, the wedding must go on. I've already spoken to the owner of the state-run restaurant beforehand, and it has to be held tomorrow no matter what."

Although he didn't have much affection for Wen Ci.

But Wen Ci is also his own biological daughter who was lost away.

The Jiang family's daughter had to have a grand wedding, especially since her own daughter was marrying the grandson of Chief Huo.

Everyone in the compound knows that Old Chief Huo's greatest wish is to see his grandson get married and have children.

Su Guilan tugged at her husband's clothes.

"Xiao Huo, the old commander has been looking forward to your wedding. We definitely have to hold the banquet. You two don't need to worry about anything, just arrive tomorrow at noon."

Jiang Zhenjun's expression was serious, but his tone softened, and his gestures resembled those of an old father speaking earnestly.

As Wen Ci listened to her biological father's words, she couldn't help but ponder how much truth there was in what he said, which explained why Huo Jingyuan had ultimately agreed to the marriage.

It was all to fulfill his grandfather's last wish.

Even though she's now the daughter-in-law of the Huo family's grandson, she still has to hold a celebration.

Wen Ci met Huo Jingyuan's eyes and nodded: "We still have to hold one in the capital."

"Ah."

That evening, a phone call disrupted the original plan.

Huo Jingyuan had planned for Wen Ci to wear the wedding dress her grandfather had long ago made. But after answering the phone, his expression turned unusually serious: "Wen Ci, we might not be able to hold the banquet in the capital tomorrow?"

"What's wrong?" Wen Ci glanced at his serious expression.

Huo Jingyuan took a deep breath and said, "The Northwest side bought us the last sleeper train, hoping I can return to the military region immediately to handle some matters." "Then let's hurry!"

Even now, in the 1980s, many places are not peaceful.

Buying Huo Jingyuan a ticket back to the Northwest overnight must mean something big has happened.

Wen Ci said, "Then let's hurry to the train station."

She had little luggage to bring and could leave Beijing with Huo Jingyuan at any time.

“I’ll talk to Uncle Jiang about that.”

"it is good."

That evening, Wen Ci and Huo Jingyuan boarded a train and left the capital. Although their sleeper and seat tickets were for different carriages, they ended up in the same carriage.

When Jiang Zhenjun received the message, he had already sent out all the invitations. As a ministerial-level official, he was also well aware of the situation in the Northwest.

No wonder the young couple is like this.

There was only a wedding banquet without any newlyweds; almost all the attendees were cadres from the compound. It's understandable that Huo Jingyuan was recalled by the Northwest Military Region.

When Wen Ci woke up, she touched her purse and found 1500 yuan and a gold bracelet inside. Seeing that the money was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night she dreamed that a thief broke into the sleeper car and stole all her money.

"What's wrong."

Seeing Wen Ci's flustered appearance, Huo Jingyuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing." Wen Ci slowly exhaled a breath of stale air: "Last night I dreamed that a thief came into the sleeper car and stole my dowry and gold bracelet."

“I’m here,” Huo Jingyuan said.

When Wen Ci met Huo Jingyuan's determined gaze, it gave her a sense of security. She almost forgot that Huo Jingyuan was a soldier.
