Chapter 33

To everyone's surprise, Liu Mengmeng was so bold that Chen Feng was provoked. Just as he was about to retort, Liu Xinyue quickly pressed Chen Feng's thigh and whispered a few words in his ear.

Liu Xinyue was perceptive. She recognized the pretty and agile girl in the orange dress across from them as the assistant of Ma Xiaodong, the music director of Oriental TV. It would be best not to offend such a person.

Chen Feng's anger was hard to quell. He glared at Liu Mengmeng and said, "I didn't say who, I just said that there will definitely be many freeloaders at the Qilixiang CEO's wedding."

Liu Xinyue smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Which wedding doesn't have freeloaders? Actually, I'm here to freeload too."

Seeing Liu Xinyue's amiable attitude, Liu Mengmeng decided not to argue with Chen Feng for the moment.

Lin Zaishan was completely focused on the abundant food, with no interest in arguing with Chen Feng. Every extra word he said meant one less piece of meat to eat and one less bit of body to grow. Why bother?

Chen Feng couldn't stand Lin Zaishan's shameless eating and sarcastically said, "Uncle, take it easy. You still have to perform on stage later. Singers who eat too much can't sing well. They might even sing their food back up."

"Ha... ha ha."

Cheng Zihuan and the others were amused by Chen Feng's comment and looked at Lin Zaishan with disdain.

Liu Mengmeng took a deep breath, gave Chen Feng a cold, menacing look, as if warning him: "Watch your words!"

Chen Feng smiled at Liu Mengmeng, his gaze even a bit flirtatious, and took a sip of shark fin porridge, looking quite smug.

Lin Zaishan swallowed the golden steamed bun and braised pork knuckle in his mouth and calmly told Chen Feng, "Young man, if you've ever performed at a rock concert with tens of thousands of people, you'd understand how important it is for a singer to be full. A rock concert is like running a full marathon, and losing a few pounds is normal. If you've had that experience, you wouldn't be afraid of eating too much and singing your food back up."

This time, it was Liu Mengmeng's turn to smile smugly, making Chen Feng look very embarrassed.

Cheng Zihuan and the others, hearing Lin Zaishan's words, no longer mocked him. Instead, they looked at him with a newfound respect, as if he were a veteran with battle scars.

Chen Feng argued with Lin Zaishan, "You're not performing a concert now. What's the point of eating so much?"

Liu Mengmeng defended Lin Zaishan, "Every singer has different professional habits. Don't judge others by your standards. Just because you can't sing after eating too much doesn't mean others can't."

Lin Zaishan continued to chew on a chicken leg and said, "Many singers drink a lot of alcohol, even get drunk, before performing, and their voices sound best. I need to eat until I'm full to sing at my best."

Chen Feng shrugged and huffed, "Fine, then keep eating." He added silently, "I want to see how you perform with a full stomach!"

Lin Zaishan didn't argue with Chen Feng and continued to eat.

Everyone was amazed by Lin Zaishan's story. Could there really be someone who sings better the more they eat? It sounded like nonsense.

Liu Mengmeng didn't know if Lin Zaishan was telling the truth, but she had never seen such a voracious eater.

This uncle was like a food-sweeping machine, his mouth never stopping, and he ate most of the dishes on the table!

The others were intimidated by Lin Zaishan's dominant eating style and didn't dare to compete with him for food.

They were quite frustrated, wondering why they had to attend a wedding with such a person. This greatly reduced their dinner enjoyment! The best dishes were almost all eaten by Lin Zaishan.

"Hope you choke!"

"Let's see how you perform later!"

Chen Feng kept cursing in his heart, waiting to see Lin Zaishan make a fool of himself.

On stage, Lu Chen, who had just thanked his parents, in-laws, and friends, took Liang Yubing to serve tea to both sets of parents, changed their titles, and received red envelopes from them.

Friends and relatives cheered and encouraged the newlyweds to kiss and dance, wanting to tease them.

Lu Chen then took the microphone, turned to Lin Zaishan's table, and said, "After thanking many people, I want to thank a special friend who came to my wedding today. He is also my good brother and elder brother! — Lin Zaishan, Shan Ge, thank you for coming to my and Yubing's wedding!"

Everyone's attention turned to the performance guest table.

Chen Feng, Liu Xinyue, and the others were stunned. They didn't expect Lin Zaishan, a failed rocker and former prisoner, to have such influence! The CEO of Qilixiang actually thanked him personally!

The effeminate Fang Nan, waiting by the stage, was also surprised by Lin Zaishan's influence! It seemed that the CEO and Lin Zaishan had a deep relationship! Liu Mengmeng had done a great job inviting Lin Zaishan!

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Zaishan quickly swallowed the spicy pig's trotter in his mouth, wiped his greasy hands and mouth with a napkin, and waved at Lu Chen.

Lu Yang and Lu Chen's parents frowned when they saw Lin Zaishan.

Aside from his hasty eating being somewhat embarrassing, Lin Zaishan's past misdeeds made them wary.

Especially Lu Chen's parents, who were worried on this joyous day that Lin Zaishan might cause trouble for Lu Chen.

The beautiful bride also looked at Lin Zaishan.

Liang Yubing knew that Lu Chen had played rock music with Lin Zaishan in the past and that Lu Chen had always cared about this elder brother who had gone astray.

But she didn't expect Lin Zaishan to attend their wedding!

Hearing Lu Chen mention Lin Zaishan's name, Liang Yubing was genuinely surprised. She was also curious to see what the once-talented rocker had become.

Looking at the performance guest table, she saw a silver-haired uncle still chewing, waving at them. Her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and disappointment!

Is this the legendary Lin Zaishan?

He looks so different from the spirited and talented rocker in the photos and videos!

He's only one year older than Lu Chen, but he looks so old!

He looks about the same age as her father!

Liang Yubing felt a bit strange.

She thought it was a bit embarrassing for Lu Chen, a successful businessman, to pay tribute to such a person at this important moment.

It would have been better to do so when no one was paying attention.

Sigh.

She sighed inwardly.

Liang Yubing had a premonition that her already imperfect evening wedding might have more blemishes.

Lu Chen didn't care about these things. He was thrilled that Lin Zaishan had come!

Liang Yubing, in her elegant wedding gown, walked over to the performance guest table with a radiant face.

She was about to toast Lin Zaishan!

Lin Zaishan stood up to greet her. Under everyone's gaze, he walked over and gave Lu Chen a strong, brotherly hug, whispering, "Congratulations on your marriage!"

Liang Yubing bowed slightly to Lin Zaishan.

Wearing a luxurious and elegant wedding gown, she was reluctant to embrace such a casually dressed uncle.

She had read in a gossip magazine that Lin Zaishan was a super pervert who had harmed many girls. She didn't know if it was true, but she remembered it.

Lu Chen had also told her that Lin Zaishan was quite promiscuous in his youth.

Liang Yubing was a bit wary of such a man and preferred to keep her distance.

After all, she was three months pregnant, with a very full bust, and her wedding gown was slightly low-cut, revealing a hint of cleavage. If she hugged a man casually, and he wasn't gentlemanly, she would be taken advantage of.

She didn't want to take that risk with Lin Zaishan.

However, she gave Lu Chen enough face, smiling politely and treating Lin Zaishan with great respect.

"Shan Ge, where have you been all these years! I thought you wouldn't contact me anymore! I'm so happy you came today! I must have a few drinks with you!"

"You have many people to toast today. Don't waste time with me. We'll have plenty of opportunities to drink later."

He glanced appreciatively at Liang Yubing, raised a half-glass of red wine, and sincerely wished them, "I wish you a lifetime of happiness and a long, happy marriage!"

"Thank you. Thank you."

Lu Chen took the wine from the best man, clinked glasses with Lin Zaishan, and drank. He could clearly feel that Lin Zaishan had matured a lot and was no longer as irritable as before.

Liang Yubing, pregnant, substituted water for wine and also drank a glass with Lin Zaishan.

"You don't have to sit at this table. Come, sit with the family."

Seeing Lin Zaishan sitting at the performance guest table, Lu Chen insisted on pulling him to the main guest table.

Lu Yang, who was nearby, frowned at this.

Lin Zaishan knew he wasn't welcome by the Lu family and quickly declined, "I'm here to perform for you. This table is fine."

"What are you talking about! Are you embarrassing me? You're performing at my wedding?"

"Why can't I perform at your wedding? I'm an artist."

Lin Zaishan smiled and gestured to Liu Mengmeng.

Liu Mengmeng, being smart, immediately brought Lin Zaishan's guitar case.

Taking out the old, faded guitar, he put on the strap, strummed a few chords, and said, "I just finished eating and am in the right state. Chenzi, I'll sing a song for you and your sister-in-law. I wrote this song specifically for you two. May this song accompany you forever, and may your love last forever!"

Lin Zaishan had written a song for him, which was amazing!

What had happened to this brother? How could he have changed so drastically!

Lu Chen was overwhelmed with gratitude!

Liang Yubing was also moved but had a bit of worry.

She had heard from Lu Chen that Lin Zaishan had been on medication and was mentally unstable, losing his musical inspiration.

She had also read media reports that Lin Zaishan had run out of talent and couldn't create beautiful music anymore.

Now, hearing that Lin Zaishan had written a song for them, Liang Yubing was worried that it would be a terrible song, making her already disappointing wedding even worse.

Her college friends were there, and if Lin Zaishan sang a very embarrassing song, it would become a topic of conversation for them.

Why did this uncle have to write a song himself?

Couldn't he just sing a common wedding blessing song?

Liang Yubing's smile remained, but she was very worried.

Lu Chen, being more straightforward, didn't fully believe that Lin Zaishan could regain his youthful musical inspiration, but he was deeply moved by Lin Zaishan's heartfelt blessing.

Lu Chen led Lin Zaishan to the center of the stage, adjusted the microphone for him, and hoped that Lin Zaishan's performance would resonate throughout the hall, giving him a sense of achievement.

Liu Mengmeng, hearing that Lin Zaishan had written a song for Lu Chen and Liang Yubing, had bright, eager eyes, eager to hear it.

She knew that Lin Zaishan had only learned about Lu Chen's wedding just before arriving.

This meant that the uncle had likely improvised a song for Lu Chen and Liang Yubing.

This was another opportunity to witness Lin Zaishan's talent!

Liu Mengmeng was very excited!

Chen Feng and the others, seeing Lin Zaishan's round belly and his immediate readiness to sing, were also interested in seeing if he was still capable of performing well.

Fang Nan, having heard Liu Mengmeng praise Lin Zaishan's singing, had high expectations for his performance.

Given that Lin Zaishan was a close friend of Lu Chen, if he could sing a great song, it would make the wedding perfect!

Absolutely perfect!

If the CEO was happy, he might give them a huge red envelope!

The guests, especially Liang Yubing's college friends and boyfriends, were drawn to the stage when they saw Lu Chen and Liang Yubing invite a white-haired uncle.

Many were curious about who this uncle named Lin Zaishan was.

Those with some experience recognized him as the once-famous "talented rocker" who had become a household name with one song.

Lin Zaishan's aged, silver-haired appearance was a surprise to many!

It seemed that he had suffered a lot in prison, according to many.

With his old guitar, could this old man still sing?

Many were skeptical.

Liang Yubing, standing on stage with Lu Chen, waited for Lin Zaishan to perform.

Looking closely at the faded old guitar in Lin Zaishan's arms, Liang Yubing could almost hear the whispers from the audience, mocking her.

Liang Yubing felt helpless, her smile becoming strained, hoping this segment would pass quickly. It had completely disrupted the rhythm of her wedding!

However, when Lin Zaishan strummed the guitar, a romantic and warm melody flowed out, like clear water from an old well, soothing Liang Yubing's ears and calming her agitated heart.

An expert's performance can silence the crowd!

When Lin Zaishan played this simple, romantic melody, many who had come to see him fail were silenced.

Though they had been skeptical, they had to admit that this uncle had real talent! The melody was romantic and delightful!

Lin Zaishan's casual appearance in jeans and a white shirt didn't match the grand, dreamy wedding stage, but the romantic melody he played complemented the elegantly dressed newlyweds.

Moved by the melody, which felt like a gentle breeze guiding her to paradise, Liang Yubing found Lin Zaishan's smile becoming peaceful and charming.

Men who play music are handsome!

She had been won over by Lu Chen's wealth and affection, and his musical talent had also played a significant role.

Now, listening to Lin Zaishan's captivating music, Liang Yubing was touched. Despite his age, he had put so much effort into composing and singing for her and Lu Chen. This heartfelt gesture was truly memorable.

She wondered if he could still sing with the passion of his youth. If so, he might leave an unexpected and delightful memory for her wedding.

From worry to anticipation, Liang Yubing was clearly moved by Lin Zaishan's music. Her beautiful eyes gazed at him, and her lips curved into a soft, touched smile, her demeanor captivating. She held Lu Chen's arm more gently and closely.

"This song is called 'For You,' I hope you like it."

Smiling calmly, Lin Zaishan announced the song's title, then turned his mature, gentle gaze to Liang Yubing. As the romantic melody flowed from his fingers, he began to sing with a sweet, magnetic voice.

He sang the classic love song "For You" by Zhang Yu from his previous life—

...

He will be your groom~

From now on, he will be your lifelong companion~

Everything about him will be closely related to you~

He will share your joys and sorrows~

...

Hearing the lyrics Lin Zaishan had written specifically for her, and feeling his deep, gentle gaze, Liang Yubing was momentarily moved and touched!

She had heard Lin Zaishan sing angry rock and the touching "Fields of Wheat." His voice had been high, passionate, and youthful.

Now, Lin Zaishan's voice was like a weathered, story-filled magnet, drawing her heart out.

His voice, shaped by time, was beyond Liang Yubing's imagination!

Her heart was captivated by his moving, magnetic voice, and she was instantly immersed in Lin Zaishan's song.

Her already full bust grew even more as she took a deep breath, unable to let it out, fully engrossed in Lin Zaishan's warm and romantic performance.
