CHAPTER 648: CHAPTER 648 LIN FAN BRINGS UP NEGATIVE TEACHING MATERIAL AGAIN

Chen Hai noticed that Lin Fan seemed to be absent from the scene.

He did see Father Lin and Mrs. Lin.

"Uncle Da Gui, why haven’t I seen Lin Fan? Didn’t I hear that he came back? Has he already left? No way, would he really leave without attending my wedding?" Chen Hai asked Father Lin.

Lin Dagui forced a smile and said, "No, he had some business in the city today, he should be back soon."

Chen Hai let out an "oh" and said, "Could he be deliberately avoiding me? Is he mad at me for not asking him to be a groomsman?"

Lin Dagui quickly said, "That’s not the case. Little Fan isn’t that petty; he doesn’t even know about this matter."

Lin Fan was so busy these days that he completely overlooked the fact that Chen Hai hadn’t asked him to be a groomsman, or rather, Lin Fan hadn’t even paid attention to Chen Hai’s wedding.

Chen Hai frowned and said, "He doesn’t know about it? What do you mean, he still doesn’t know I’m getting married today?"

Chen Datou said, "That’s impossible, he knew you were getting married. When I came to deliver the invitation, wasn’t Lin Fan there?"

Chen Hai chuckled and said, "So, Lin Fan doesn’t want to be my groomsman. Come on, we grew up playing together. Does he think I don’t deserve him as a groomsman?"

The village head chuckled, "Is Lin Fan that impressive? Is he worthy? Does he think just because he knows some medical skills, he can look down on people?"

"Exactly, what’s the use of medical skills? It’s money that truly matters!"

"With Lin Fan being a delivery guy, he’s not even qualified to promote Xiaohai!"

The villagers started gossiping.

Lin Dagui quickly said, "No, no, it’s not like that. Little Fan is just too busy; he just didn’t notice."

Chen Hai said unhappily, "Didn’t notice? Doesn’t that further prove the issue? Lin Fan simply didn’t care about my wedding!"

Lin Dagui was momentarily speechless, "Well..."

The village head chuckled, "This Lin Fan, no money but quite the airs."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, looking down on Lin Fan.

A group of people bullying the father and mocking the brother, Lin Shanshan couldn’t stand it anymore and said coldly, "Brother Hai, you say my brother didn’t care about being a groomsman, but you didn’t invite him to be one either!"

Chen Datou said, "You girl, where do you get off talking here? Didn’t I just tell your dad, I suggested having Lin Fan as a groomsman, but..."

Chen Hai cleared his throat and said, "I did consider Lin Fan, but my companions and friends were too enthusiastic, and with limited slots, we were full."

Chen Datou said, "That’s right, it’s Lin Fan’s own fault. If he had been a bit more proactive, a bit quicker, he could have made it as a groomsman. Why wasn’t he more forward?"

Lin Shanshan couldn’t help but laugh, "Really? You all talk as if this groomsman role is some big prize, and my brother should compete for it—how ridiculous!"

Chen Datou and his son didn’t like hearing this.

Chen Datou’s face darkened, "You girl, how can you talk so rudely!"

The village head said sarcastically, "Really, what’s that saying—birds of a feather flock together, huh? This Lin Family brother and sister have no manners. Lin Dagui, how do you educate your children, no upbringing!"

Lin Dagui’s face turned red; he really wasn’t good at arguing with people.

The village head continued, "Moreover, look at Xiaohai’s groomsmen; aren’t they all talented and successful? Only they can match up as groomsmen and accentuate Xiaohai’s excellence. Lin Fan, a delivery guy, really doesn’t fit!"

"Haha..."

The group couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Chen Hai said, "Forget it; today’s my big day. I don’t want some people to affect my mood. Let’s not mention Lin Fan; he can come if he wants, or not, it’s whatever!"

The bride beside him then said, "Ah-Hai, is this Lin Fan the childhood best friend you mentioned?"

Chen Hai replied, "Indeed."

The bride frowned and said, "It seems he doesn’t treat you as a brother, huh? I understand his mentality; he was better than you before, but now he’s not doing as well, maybe it’s just inferiority."

"Hahaha..." The village head laughed out loud, "The bride, being from the city, truly has insight. I think Lin Fan is just inferior, knowing he’s not doing as well as Xiaohai, ashamed to come!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai’s face showed a hint of pride and said, "Back then, I couldn’t match up to Lin Fan in anything. He was taller and more handsome, his grades were better, he got into Tianhai Middle School, and later even got into college, while all I could do was go to a vocational school. I was just like a tag-along, admiring him."

His tone held a sense of long-awaited revenge, seeming like he used to be jealous of Lin Fan because Lin Fan was better than him. Now seeing Lin Fan not doing as well, he naturally felt pleased.

The village head laughed and said, "There’s a saying—child prodigy, but grows up not so good. That’s Lin Fan for you—smart as a kid, good grades, but unfortunately not clever, turned into bookishness, read books to death, couldn’t make it in society, only could become a delivery guy!"

"Xiaohai is different; although his grades weren’t as good as Lin Fan’s, he’s sharp-minded, savvy, knows how to get along in society, and now Xiaohai is so successful, marrying such a wonderful wife today!"

"I’ve decided to select the top ten outstanding young people of our village, and Xiaohai is definitely the first. To encourage the younger generation to learn from Xiaohai, as for Lin Fan, he won’t be among them but could indeed be a counterexample!"

The crowd burst into laughter at these words.

Chen Hai’s lips curled in a smug smile, seeing everyone praising him and mocking Lin Fan—this was just right.

"Uncle Da Gui, Lin Fan is a college graduate after all, isn’t being a delivery guy beneath his abilities? I’ll tell you what, after this, have Lin Fan come see me, I’ll see if I can use my connections to find him a decent job," Chen Hai said with a smile.

Lin Dagui hesitated, "Well..."

The village head laughed, "Xiaohai is really broad-minded, even though Lin Fan gives him no face, Xiaohai bears no grudge and even helps him get a job. Truly, what a good person!"

"Xiaohai is such a great kid!"

"Truly great!"

The villagers also started praising.

Chen Datou was really on cloud nine; his son had really brought face today. Although it was at the expense of Lin Fan, it felt great—stepping on Lin Fan to gain face felt truly great!

Chen Datou looked at Lin Dagui and chuckled, "Da Gui, I still need to say a word about you; you can’t just be plain honest. Look at your Lin Fan and my Xiaohai as examples; isn’t Lin Fan not doing as well because he doesn’t know how to handle things? Let me give you some advice. Xiaohai’s boss is here today, you go pour tea and offer a cigarette, and maybe Lin Fan’s job situation will be solved!"

Lin Dagui turned even more red; he truly wasn’t adept at handling things, and Chen Datou’s words were equivalent to publicly humiliating him.

Everyone was watching Lin Dagui to see if he would go over to give Xiaohai’s boss a cigarette to curry favor.

Lin Shanshan couldn’t take it anymore and chuckled, "Dad, no need, I think this boss should be offering a cigarette to my brother instead."

What?

Everyone was astounded. Lin Shanshan’s words were truly shocking!
