### Chapter 577: Brother Ye, I’m Getting Married
Afterward, Ye Xiu and the old-timers had a hearty meal at a restaurant in Lijiang. Of course, Ye Xiu was the one treating.
During the meal, the group of seasoned veterans chatted boastfully about everything under the sun, with so many wild tales that it seemed like countless cows had taken to the sky. Although no alcohol was consumed, it didn't hinder their enthusiastic exchanges.
Despite his young age, Ye Xiu's impressive performance that day earned him the respect of the old-timers, who began calling him "Old Ye." They bonded quickly, becoming fast friends. After the meal, they exchanged contact information before parting ways. One particularly enthusiastic veteran even gave Ye Xiu a walkie-talkie on the spot, insisting that he keep it for future communication.
In this way, a single meal almost instantly connected Ye Xiu with all the veteran drivers in the capital. He knew who was driving in which district, which routes had more passengers, and so on, even from miles away—not because he asked, but because the old-timers were eager to share.
However, Ye Xiu, who only wanted to enjoy a quiet life, had to politely decline their offers.
Just as Ye Xiu had finished dropping off a passenger, his phone rang. Looking down, he saw it was Liu Qiang, the quick-handed delivery guy.
"Hey, Liu Qiang, what's up?" Ye Xiu answered the phone.
From the other end, Liu Qiang's excited laughter came through: "Hey, Brother Ye, I'm getting married!"
"Huh? So soon? Last time we met, you were still single," Ye Xiu responded, recalling their last encounter around September. Back then, Liu Qiang was nearly hit by a runaway bride while delivering food and was lamenting his streak of bad luck. Ye Xiu had comforted him and even lent him a sports car for a day to cheer him up. At that time, Liu Qiang was a down-and-out delivery guy who had wrecked three electric scooters in a month. How did he end up getting married so quickly?
Liu Qiang chuckled: "It's all thanks to you, Brother Ye."
"Me?" Ye Xiu was puzzled.
"Yeah, you forgot? You gave me that rich lady's WeChat. Hehe, I made it!" Liu Qiang laughed joyfully.
Ye Xiu suddenly remembered. He had indeed given Liu Qiang a wealthy woman's WeChat contact. Smiling, he said, "Oh, well, congratulations! When's the wedding?"
Liu Qiang replied with a happy laugh, "The day after tomorrow, at the Pangu Seven Star Hotel! Brother Ye, you must come! Without you, the celebration won't be the same!"
Ye Xiu, who had greatly helped Liu Qiang, had to be there. Liu Qiang saw Ye Xiu as a benefactor. Without Ye Xiu, he wouldn't be where he was today. Moreover, Ye Xiu drove a sports car, which meant he had some status, and his presence would certainly lend some prestige to the event.
"Sure, I'll be there," Ye Xiu agreed without hesitation. Then, he thought for a moment. The Pangu Seven Star Hotel? Oh, that's my hotel! No problem at all. I'll make sure the event is perfectly arranged. With that in mind, Ye Xiu called the hotel manager.
...
Two days later.
At the Pangu Seven Star Hotel, Liu Qiang had booked a large presidential suite on the third floor. Today, he was dressed in a sharp suit, looking incredibly handsome. However, beneath this dashing exterior was a heart filled with anxiety.
The reason was simple: his entourage wasn't impressive enough.
Before, he was just a food delivery guy, and most of his friends and family were working-class folks. In stark contrast, the wealthy woman's side was filled with millionaires and company bosses. They saw Liu Qiang as a mere toad, unworthy of marrying the rich woman or associating with them.
Liu Qiang was acutely aware of this disparity but had no choice but to brace himself and proceed. He and Li Wenxin, the rich woman, were truly in love. Although it started for the money, over time, genuine feelings developed.
For true love, Liu Qiang was willing to give it his all.
