Chapter 645: 572 Wedding Fiasco (7): The Right Wedding to Crash
Because... this is the Zhongli family, the top financial group in Country G.
The banquet continued, just as Zhongli Yuting had said, although the wedding had ended, this lunch was considered the Zhongli family’s treat to everyone. One must eat and drink to their heart’s content before leaving the table!
Zhongli Yuting and Lady Zhongli even came down to offer a toast at each table.
Everyone respected Mr. and Mrs. Zhongli from the bottom of their hearts, so who needed them to personally toast and accompany the guests like this?
But Zhongli Yuting and Lady Zhongli didn’t put on the airs of the top financial group; they were truly and sincerely apologizing to everyone.
Their actions were nothing more than the manifestation of a universal parental heart.

Wuzhi pulled Lu Xiaoer out of the hotel and drove towards the nearest civil affairs office.
Sitting in the passenger seat, only someone like Wuzhi could bring out the true aristocratic temperament in such a flashy sports car.
He was spirited, and although he didn’t press the accelerator all the way, the car wasn’t slow.
Just looking at his profile, one could feel the joy and excitement emanating from his heart.
Seeing him like this now...
All the frustration that Lu Xiaoer had felt in the past vanished like smoke.
Heaven in one moment, hell in the next, is perhaps the most accurate description of love.
She, Lu Xiaoer, was no exception to the rule.
Wuzhi gripped the steering wheel with one hand and tightly held onto Lu Xiaoer’s hand with the other.
Lu Xiaoer tried several times to pull her hand away, reminding him to be careful of being stopped by the traffic police, but he wouldn’t listen, stubbornly saying,
"I’d like to see who dares to stop me at a time like this!"
"..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than they saw a police car with flashing red and blue lights at the intersection ahead, signaling them to stop.
Wuzhi froze for a moment, cursed under his breath, then tried to turn the steering wheel and escape!
"Zhongli Wuzhi! Cut it out! Stop the car right now!"
"If they stop me now, how am I going to take you to the civil affairs office? No, no one can stand in the way of our getting there!"
He said it like a fool.
Lu Xiaoer sighed,
"If you don’t stop, that police car will chase us all the way to the door of the civil affairs office! Moreover, this isn’t just about paying a fine and getting points deducted—it could lead to the revocation of your driver’s license or even detention. By then..."
Lu Xiaoer’s eyebrows rose slightly, and Wuzhi got scared.
The car slowly stopped, and the policeman approached, "Sir, please hand over your driver’s license and vehicle registration, you were speeding."
Rolling down the window, Wuzhi stuck his head out just to meet the policeman’s gaze—a spark of electricity!
"Damn..." Wuzhi muttered under his breath.
The policeman pointed at him and said, "It’s you again!"
"Heh heh, sorry about that, officer. I’m in a rush to go register for marriage with my girlfriend, so... you can write any ticket you want, just please hurry up."
Wuzhi was in a good mood, so he popped his head out and wore a grin on his face.
But the policeman wasn’t in nearly as good a mood,
"You’re a repeat offender. I’ll need to check how many violations you have unresolved. Wait here."
The policeman spoke sternly and even instructed his colleague to keep an eye on them.
Wuzhi gaped, never having imagined that the officer would check past records, and he genuinely couldn’t recall taking care of any traffic violations...
Especially the last ticket that this policeman had issued him...
Lu Xiaoer could guess by looking at his expression,
"How many tickets do you have?"
"Not... not that many... heh heh..."
Wuzhi hastily responded.
"You’re so reckless with the things you do, I’m starting to regret this..."
Lu Xiaoer crossed her arms.
Zhongli Wuzhi’s face turned sour instantly. He didn’t say anything and after a few seconds, he suddenly got out of the car with a stern face.
Lu Xiaoer was startled. This guy couldn’t possibly be looking to cause more trouble, could he?
Just as she was about to get out of the car herself, she saw Zhongli Wuzhi walk up to the traffic policeman and bow deeply with a sincere attitude,
"Officer, I’m really sorry. I promise I will follow traffic rules from now on, I’m truly very sorry..."
"..."
"Officer, actually, every time you come across me, it’s really bad luck. Last time, I saw my girlfriend chatting and laughing with another man, and I got so angry that I..."
"You get angry and take it out on me? We traffic police work in the sun and the wind all day, and now we have to be your punching bag?"
"I was wrong, I really was wrong. Officer, if you want to fine me, detain me, or even make me write a self-criticism, I can do it all... I truly regret my actions."
"..."
Lu Xiaoer sat in the passenger seat, watching Zhongli Wuzhi, who had dissipated all his aggression and was sincerely apologizing to the officer...
She gradually lost her train of thought, this man was both a stranger and incredibly familiar, both detestable and extremely adorable.
This was never the style of such a profligate scion. It had never been...
But at this moment, Lu Xiaoer genuinely felt she had made the right choice in snatching this marriage. The torment and struggle of so many days were not idle whining, not pretentious posturing...
It was truly waiting, waiting for her love with Zhongli Wuzhi to mature.
And she had waited.
Lu Xiaoer’s eyes reddened. She could see the changes Zhongli Wuzhi had made for her, and she could feel the changes she had made for Zhongli Wuzhi.
This was enough...
There were still so many days ahead. She couldn’t rush.
This adorable, handsome, gentle, unique... man was what she wanted.
"I’m not used to you being like this all of a sudden."
The officer’s body trembled, feeling Zhongli Wuzhi’s lowliness... it was really unnerving.
"Officer, I truly realize my mistake, please, let me take my fiancée and go register for marriage, okay?"
"... Are you in such a hurry because you’re afraid your fiancée will run away?"
The officer was really at a loss for words and rolled his eyes at him, smirking as he spoke.
"Officer, not to hide it from you, my fiancée... she really can run!"
"..."
After a few more rounds, Zhongli Wuzhi obediently returned to the car with the speeding ticket.
As he started the car and drove away, he didn’t forget to give the officer a warm goodbye.
Lu Xiaoer found it amusing.
After the car slowly passed through an intersection, she heard Zhongli Wuzhi mutter,
"Damn it, that cop nags like an old mother, it’s just a speeding ticket..."
"..."
Right, she, Lu Xiaoer, had made a mistake.
This young master Zhongli Wuzhi wasn’t someone who would apologize sincerely!
In the whole wide world... only he was right.
She wondered... if it was still not too late to jump out of the car...
The car stopped in front of the civil affairs bureau, and Zhongli Wuzhi looked at the several big characters over the entrance,
"System failure, marriage and divorce registrations are temporarily suspended today."
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi’s heart went cold.
