57: Chapter 57 My First Love!

The two of them hadn't been in contact for over ten years.

People who had absolutely nothing to do with each other; was there any need for that?

"You are my first love, after all. Of course, I hope you can come."

Lin Manzhi explained.

"Sorry, I happen to have something to do tomorrow."

Shen Zhou naturally didn't have the spare time for that.

After all, Lin Manzhi was already a person from the past.

"Ah? How could you not have time? I heard you just broke up with your girlfriend."

"Or is it that you aren't willing to give gift money?"

"You know what I care about isn't the gift money; I just hope you can come."

Lin Manzhi's voice sounded a bit strange.

"Heh, never mind the gift money for the two of you; even if the Queen of Britain were remarrying and invited me, I could afford the gift money."

Shen Zhou curled his lip, somewhat speechless.

This first love of his was indeed still that same 'white lotus' persona.

Claiming to care about him, yet ruthlessly stabbing a knife into his chest.

It was just like back when he got into a fight with that boy and the teacher called his parents.

Lin Manzhi was also at the scene.

But she claimed she had absolutely no relationship with Shen Zhou.

"Forget it, I've already notified you anyway. Whether you come or not is up to you."

Lin Manzhi seemed a bit annoyed and quickly ended the call.

"Oh, you've really got some temper!"

"Then I really must go tomorrow."

Shen Zhou was instantly provoked and immediately decided to go.

It could be considered adding a final touch to his youth, which was like a foxtail weed.

The next day, Shen Zhou drove his bmw 7 series to the Haoqing Grand Hotel.

Parked in the Haoqing Grand Hotel's parking lot, the bmw 7 series could only be considered ordinary.

However, there was still a dedicated valet to help park the car.

Just as he walked into the hotel lobby, a simple reception desk was prominently placed on the right side of the lobby.

"Hello, is this Lin Manzhi's wedding?"

Shen Zhou stepped forward to ask.

"That's right, yes. How much are you giving as a gift, and what's your name?"

A man picked up a brush.

"Five hundred, I'm Shen Zhou."

Shen Zhou said casually.

Of course he could give more as a gift.

It's just that he didn't feel he needed to spend money in a place like this.

Just then, a slightly surprised voice sounded from behind him.

"You're Shen Zhou, right?"

A man wearing a royal blue suit walked over with a grin.

This guy had a full head of tin-foil perm and was wearing a flashy gold ring on his finger.

Plus a gold Buddha hanging on his chest.

He was a dead ringer for a nouveau riche.

"You are Sun Tao?"

Shen Zhou frowned slightly.

Back then, he had gotten into a fight with Sun Tao because of Lin Manzhi.

As a result, he was beaten up by Sun Tao, who had received the news in advance and brought along a few thugs.

"You really haven't forgotten me."

Sun Tao glanced at the "five hundred" entry in the guest book and immediately curled his lip in disdain.

"How come you're only giving five hundred? Aren't you embarrassing our class beauty?"

"How much money I give isn't important; after all, we haven't had any relationship for a long time."

Shen Zhou's expression was calm.

Sun Tao couldn't help but be surprised, looking Shen Zhou up and down.

"I think five hundred isn't a small amount for you, right?"

"If you can't afford it, just say so. Why are you still so obsessed with saving face like back then?"

As he spoke, the guy directly took out his wallet and threw down the gift money he had already prepared.

"Sun Tao, ten thousand!"

The guy tucked his handbag under his arm and haughtily stepped aside to the right.

"Shen Zhou, you were considered a good student back then. How did you end up like this now?"

Before Shen Zhou could answer, the guy suddenly put his hand on Shen Zhou's shoulder.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't rub salt in your wounds."

"We are, in a sense, brothers-in-law after all. Let's go, let's go in together."

Sun Tao was full of arrogance, as if he were already a cut above Shen Zhou.

"There's no need for that."

Shen Zhou gave his shoulder a shake, brushing the guy's hand off.

Then he walked towards the wedding hall without looking back.

"Stubbornly obsessed with face and suffering for it. You were a loser back then, and you're still a loser now!"

Sun Tao muttered a few words of disdain at Shen Zhou's back.

As soon as he approached the hall, Shen Zhou saw the newlyweds standing at the entrance welcoming guests.

Shen Zhou only had eyes for Lin Manzhi.

Without a doubt, Shen Zhou's taste back then was indeed not a problem.

Even in a big city filled with beauties, Lin Manzhi could still be considered a great beauty today.

At this moment, Lin Manzhi was wearing a beige cheongsam, with bright red lipstick, looking at the guests with a smile.

Her pinned-up long hair looked dark and shiny under the lights.

Those fair cheeks were even more beautiful.

But what made Shen Zhou's jaw drop was that the person standing next to her was actually a big, dark-skinned fat man.

Never mind Shen Zhou, even Sun Tao from earlier was far ahead of this fat man in terms of appearance.

"Sure enough, she is still the same, always looking 'forward'!"

Shen Zhou stepped forward quickly.

"Shen Zhou, you really came. I knew you wouldn't break your promise."

Lin Manzhi's eyes lit up, staring at Shen Zhou with sparkling eyes.

How did this guy become so much more handsome?

Could it be that men also have an 'eighteen changes' transformation?

"Just here to reminisce about my youth."

Shen Zhou smiled very naturally.

Meanwhile, the groom beside her had already frowned, staring straight at Shen Zhou.

"Xiaoman, who is this? How come I haven't heard you introduce him?"

The groom couldn't help but step forward slightly.

"He is that first love of mine from middle school, Shen Zhou."

Lin Manzhi introduced him without any hesitation.

"It seems your taste isn't that great either. This brother looks rather shabby."

"And he looks... he looks just average."

The groom had originally wanted to go against his conscience to belittle Shen Zhou's appearance.

But after taking a closer look at Shen Zhou, he couldn't bring himself to say anything too fake.

"Heh."

"Manzhi, your taste is indeed not that great. Can you even see this guy at night?"

"Or rather, do you think this guy is presentable?"

Shen Zhou said unceremoniously.

Never mind the groom, he didn't intend to indulge Lin Manzhi either.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

The groom's face darkened.

This was his home turf; how could he let Shen Zhou humiliate him?

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

"Do you need me to say it even more harshly?"

Shen Zhou said coldly.

"I think you have a death wish!"

The groom was instantly enraged.

"Honey, don't lower yourself to his level."

"Today is our big day, don't let outsiders make a joke of us."

Lin Manzhi wrapped her arms around the groom's arm with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, the groom calmed down slightly.

"You should be thankful that today is my wedding day, otherwise I would make you pay!"

The groom stared at Shen Zhou with a cold expression.
