Zhou Xuan was annoyed with Li Wei, but he also knew that Li Wei had suffered. He had been the one to shoulder the burden here, but the guy was too useless and couldn't hold on.
"Want to sing?" Zhou Xuan glanced at Fu Ying, only to see that her head was lowered even further, and her face was almost invisible.
Zhou Xuan made up his mind. If he really couldn't bear it, he would hug her and sing with her. He was sure Yingying would be shy, but he himself didn't care.

Chapter 432 Passing Three Tests
Zhou Xuan was going to just hum a random excuse to get by, but then he saw Wei Xiaoqing bite her lip and hum, saying, "It's not that easy. You can only take her away when you're satisfied with me."
Zhou Xuan was afraid of Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaoyu causing trouble. If the two sisters started messing around with him, he really wouldn't know how to deal with them.
"Xiaoqing, what conditions do you want this time?" Zhou Xuan asked helplessly. He could only wait and see what conditions she wanted. He would try to fulfill them first, otherwise it would only make things more difficult later.
Wei Xiaoqing held out her hand and said, "The first condition is to give me a red envelope containing 888 yuan."
"Okay, okay, okay," Zhou Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If these were the only conditions, then it wouldn't be a problem, and it would be simple. He reached into his pocket and pulled something out, but what he pulled out made him freeze.
My pockets were empty; there wasn't a single penny in them. Even my wallet was empty.
Zhou Xuan then remembered that he was the groom today, all new clothes, so why would he bring a wallet or anything like that?
In his panic, he quickly called out, "Li Wei, Li Wei, bring the money quickly!"
After calling for a while without Li Wei coming in, Zhou Xuan went to the door and saw Li Wei peeking in from outside, hesitant to come in. He immediately got annoyed and said, "What are you doing? You won't answer when I call you..."
Li Wei said sheepishly in a low voice, "There are so many shrews in the house, it would be pointless for me to come in. I've thought about it, I'll just stay outside and keep watch, preventing them from having any help. That way, I'll take half the burden off you."
"Get lost, you're so disloyal!" Zhou Xuan spat out in annoyance. This guy had the audacity to say he would share half of his worries. Who would dare to come here?
Zhou Xuan was too lazy to say anything more to him, and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give me the money, hurry up."
Li Wei asked in surprise, "What money do you need?" But he still reached into his pocket as he spoke, and then he froze. He was the best man today and was dressed in new clothes. Where would he get any money?
"I have no money..." Li Wei replied, spreading his hands, then asked, "What do you need money for?"
Zhou Xuan was furious and immediately beckoned to Zhang, saying, "Boss Zhang, do you have any money? Give me the money right now!"
She was married and knew these things; she realized she might be asked for a red envelope. She quickly checked her pockets, but was still incredibly embarrassed. She had changed into brand new clothes and makeup all day, so where would she have brought any money? She never expected to need money now.
Li Wei quickly shouted to the forty-odd people who had driven up, "Who has money? Hand it over now!"
At a single command, most of these people were Li Wei's cronies, arrogant and disdainful playboys. They had come dressed smartly to help, never expecting that money would be needed. All forty-odd of them were empty-handed, without a single penny.
They stared at each other, bewildered, outside the villa.
It's also Li Lei's fault for not having much experience. He didn't manage his two sons' weddings; others took care of everything. So he didn't expect so much from today's events and wasn't prepared. The wedding procession was basically directed by Li Wei. How could this guy have any experience in this area?
The 888 yuan red envelope stumped Zhou Xuan, who was sweating profusely. He had never been troubled by money before, but today he was truly stumped by a mere penny.
With a shrug, he shouted, "Are all of us dozens of people just sitting around doing nothing? Even if we have to rob them, we'll take the bride back! It's just a few girls, Li Wei, let's go in and snatch them out!"
Li Wei immediately shook his head vigorously, saying repeatedly, "Boss Zhang, if you want to go, then go. I'll cover for you outside and take care of everything. I'll leave the task of dealing with these girls to you."
Li Wei knew Wei Xiaoyu was inside. If they were to resort to violence, even though there were forty of them, they were all showy but useless. They would probably be thrown out by Wei Xiaoyu as soon as one of them went in, inevitably asking for trouble. If they were to fight someone like Wei Xiaoyu head-on, even forty of them together wouldn't be a match for her. Not only would they injure her, but those three tough girls would also spray them with pepper spray or something, making the suffering even greater. He had just experienced this loss and didn't want to suffer it again. However, Li Wei wouldn't object if the others wanted to go in. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair for him to suffer alone, and it would damage his reputation if word got out. It would be best if everyone suffered this loss once, so that no one would say anything about it in the future.
No one would tell anyone that dozens of grown men had been thoroughly humiliated by a few girls.
Little did they know Li Wei's wicked intentions. Without a second thought, they stepped into the room, thinking, "They're just a few girls. If they're all shoving and jostling, I might as well take advantage of them." But what was strange was why Li Wei wouldn't do it.
Zhou Xuan knew something was wrong, so he quickly followed him inside, calling out, "Boss, slow...slow down..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw two girls grab his arms on either side, and then one of them sprayed him with gel. He cried out, his eyes stinging and he couldn't see anything. He quickly backed away.
The girls then pushed him to the door, then outside. He tripped, rolled a few times at the doorway, and just like Li Wei, tumbled out in a disheveled state.
Li dragged ** a few steps away and then made him wipe his eyes clean himself. When he opened his eyes, his red eyes looked quite funny.
He glared angrily at Li Wei, only to see that Li Wei's eyes were also as red as a rabbit's. He suddenly remembered that Li Wei had rolled around in the doorway a few times earlier, and then he understood why Li Wei had refused to go in with him even if someone were dead. He was annoyed for a moment, but then he couldn't help but find it funny.
The two stared at each other for a while, then burst into laughter. When they looked at the approaching group, dozens of people had figured it out and were watching them with smiles.
Li Wei stroked his chin and then said, "Brothers, let's see if we're loyal now. If you're a true brother, let's go!"
Dozens of people laughed loudly, but no one moved. At this moment, who cared about loyalty? It was probably whoever went in would suffer.
Li Wei was just saying that. If these people really went in, it would be fine if one or two went in, and those girls could run wild. But if more went in, and those girls couldn't handle them, Wei Xiaoyu would definitely take action. Once she took action, who among those present could stop or withstand her?
Seeing Zhang Laoda get humiliated and thrown out again, Zhou Xuan smiled wryly. He glanced around and saw Wei Haihong sitting silently in the corner. A thought struck him, and he immediately said, "Brother Hong, could you... lend me some money?"
Wei Haihong glanced at Zhou Xuan, his lips moved, and his hand slowly reached for his pocket, only to see Wei Xiaoqing say fiercely, "Uncle, you're Yingying's family today, how can you side with outsiders? If you give this money, I'll never forgive you."
Wei Haihong said awkwardly, "Why would I give him money? Look, my uncle has no money on him today, where would he get any money to give him?"
Wei Haihong stated his position with a normal expression, leaving Zhou Xuan truly helpless. He then noticed Wei Xiaoqing biting her lip and looking at him provocatively. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear: it wouldn't be so easy for her to get past him today.
Meanwhile, the three girls on the other side seemed to have gained experience, each holding a weapon in their hands: hair gel, snow spray, and one of them even had mosquito repellent. It seemed that getting past them wouldn't be easy, let alone dealing with Wei Xiaoyu, who hadn't made a move.
Despite it being a joyous occasion, with the Wei sisters, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyu, serving as bridesmaids, their faces were filled with resentment. It wasn't impossible for them to vent their anger at this moment. Zhou Xuan knew that he had stepped into a trap, and it seemed that he couldn't refuse to go along with their wishes and comply with their conditions.
Even Wei Haihong wasn't on Zhou Xuan's side anymore. Left with no other option, Zhou Xuan took a few steps back to the door and said to Li Wei, "Li Wei, hurry back and get the money to make red envelopes."
It seems we can't get through without paying the toll. We need to hurry up and make arrangements, otherwise we won't have enough time. We've already wasted so much time, and it's almost noon, but we still haven't left home.
Fortunately, the girls only attacked other people and didn't allow anyone else to enter. They showed leniency towards Zhou Xuan and didn't lay a hand on him. However, this was only because Zhou Xuan didn't use force against them. If Zhou Xuan had also tried to take Fu Ying away, things would probably have turned out differently.
Li Wei blinked, then said, "That's not a good idea. We're here to welcome the bride today. Going back without seeing her is bad luck."
