After Being Cheating novel Chapter 74

"OK! We've just received the information and a direct order from a superior that some international wanted criminals are now hiding at the Xiaxi Village of the Xiaxi Town and are trying to evade their capture. They pose a great threat to the safety of the villagers there! Now, the Sharp Eagle team and special forces from the second company are to be deployed. Attention!" spoke Wesley Si, the Commanding General of the troops.

"Yes!" The Sharp Eagle team and the special soldiers replied in unison and their voice was so loud that they could even be heard form far away in the distance!

"Now, Brian Han, the Major and the Sharp Eagle team leader, will lead you to the Xiaxi Village to carry out the mission at hand. Do not forget, above all, you should ensure the villagers' safety first. Of course, you should also ensure your own safety!" added Wesley Si.

"Yes!"

...

After they saluted and said their goodbyes to Mr. Si together, Brian and his fellow soldiers packed up their equipment, carried the camouflage backpacks to the cars and then drove the several military vehicles towards their destination.

At about four o'clock the next morning

Fanny and Clay got up first and began to get busy. At about five o'clock, Shirley was woken up by her younger sister.

Shirley didn't wake Janet up and also asked the make-up artist to try and keep quiet.

When Janet woke up, Shirley had already changed into her wedding gown.

In a daze, Janet sat up from the bed startled and then realized that Shirley was actually getting married today.

"Please go and get washed first and then you can have the hot breakfast!" said Shirley. She smiled and looked at Janet who seemed to be in a trance.

It wasn't until when she heard Shirley's words that Janet really noticed her. When she looked at Shirley, she began to slowly awake more and more, and said, "Wow! Shirley, you're so beautiful today!"

Janet pulled the quilt aside, got out of bed and then walked up to Shirley. She then began to scan Shirley up and down while she was walking around her.

Shirley, with a ruddy face, helped Janet smooth her hair, and said, "Janet, you're even more beautiful than me, and one day you'll be the most beautiful bride!"

'Will I?' thought Janet. When she saw Shirley, dressed in the wedding gown, she began to imagine her own wedding.

'Who would be my bridegroom? Could he be...' she thought

At about eight o'clock, after the firecrackers were set off, someone suddenly ran into Shirley's bedroom, and said, "The bridegroom is here! The bridegroom has arrived!"

Shirley, who was sitting on the bed, held Janet's hand tightly, looking very nervous.

"Don't worry. You're so beautiful and attractive today that you'll leave him speechless!" comforted Janet. Being Shirley's bridesmaid, she wore a pink-white, long plaid coat with a long dress of the same color underneath.

She looked beautiful but in a more low-key style.

Walter, the bridegroom, had entered the courtyard, and a sudden rush of noise and excitement came roaring from outside.

After a series of customs which lasted more than ten minutes, Walter looked a little impatient as he finally could enter Shirley's bedroom.

He gave those who stood in front of the bedroom's door several big red envelopes and then successfully entered the room.

It was the first time that Janet was meeting Walter, who was about 24 years old. He looked a little fat and had small eyes on which he wore a pair of golden frame glasses.

He looked at Shirley for a while and then directly turned his eyes onto Janet.

His eyes seemed to glint when he was looking at her, which made Janet feel very uncomfortable.

Walter had left a bad impression on Janet!

When another man, one of the groomsmen, saw Janet, he immediately got close to her, and asked, "Wow! Where does the beautiful girl come from?"

"Shirley, is she your classmate? She's so pretty. Could you introduce her to me?" asked another groomsman.

Several groomsmen then gathered around Shirley and Janet and began to make rude jookes.

Janet just smiled, not uttering a single word.

Luckily, the wedding ceremony started and Janet could finally skip the embarrassment, but during the ceremony, many people had their eyes fixed on her.

She felt more uncomfortable and wanted to escape even more then.
