"Once again, thank you all, friends and family, for coming. The Guo Mansion has prepared a sumptuous wedding banquet. Please proceed to the Jun Yue Lai Hotel. We shall not return until we are drunk today."
Wang Yibo invited everyone to the hotel for lunch at the end of the celebration.
The bridesmaid, who had just been rescued, quietly slipped a piece of paper with a phone number into his hand.
This scene was precisely witnessed by Guo Xuyang.
"Brother, impressive. Well done," Guo Xuyang said, patting Wang Yibo on the shoulder as he approached.
"I did not fail in my duty. I hope you will offer more criticism for any shortcomings."
"One word. Excellent," Guo Xuyang said with a smile. "Congratulations, brother, on capturing a beautiful bride."
Wang Yibo smiled lightly and remained silent.
The girl was indeed good, but he hadn't really paid much attention.
She shouldn't be from their store, as he knew all the girls in the store.
When Xiao Mingliang arrived in the courtyard with his uncle, he was stunned.
He never expected his brother-in-law to be so capable, owning such a large courtyard in a place where every inch of land was valuable in the provincial capital.
How much money would that be? He couldn't help but gasp inwardly.
Especially when he saw several women wearing jade bracelets on their wrists and jade necklaces around their necks, it blinded his gilded eyes.
When he followed Xu Lili to the card room, he clearly heard them say that one wouldn't get away with less than thirty million. That was just for a necklace.
But these women also had bracelets and earrings. How much money would that be?
Moreover, these women were more beautiful than one another, and several were even more beautiful than his sister.
Some wore cloaks, some wore fur, and one, heavily pregnant in a red down jacket, was a foreign girl, though rather plump.
The other young people in the courtyard were all handsome.
He didn't know the relationship between these men and women, only that they were all astonishingly good-looking.
As for Xu Lili, whom he fancied, she was only slightly above average among these people.
He was dazzled and became even more determined to stay by his brother-in-law's side.
With such a large house, one more person wouldn't make a difference. It wasn't like they couldn't accommodate him.
Guo Xuyang did not pay particular attention to Xiao Mingliang.
Cheng Xiuping had already arranged for dedicated personnel to receive Xiao Liang's maternal family.
The Jun Yue Lai Hotel was exceptionally lively at this moment.
Dozens of greeters stood at the entrance to welcome guests, and there was a dedicated counter for receiving gifts.
For the convenience of guests giving gifts, Cheng Xiuping had specifically printed QR codes for payment and arranged for four people to sit on the other side of the counter for receiving and registering payments.
Both cash and transfers were very convenient.
Electronic voices could be heard incessantly.
"Ten thousand received via Taobao."
"Two thousand received via Taobao."
"Three thousand received via WeChat."
"Ten thousand received via WeChat."
"One thousand received via Taobao."
...
None of the transfers were less than ten thousand.
Of course, there were also many cash gifts, ranging from three thousand, two thousand, to five thousand.
Each gift-giver would be escorted by a greeter to a room or hall on the second floor.
When Xiao Mingliang and his uncle arrived at the hotel, he was stimulated by the electronic female voice.
This was not a wedding; it was like picking up money.
What he didn't know was that most of these gift-givers were friends or subordinates of Guo Xuyang.
Cheng Xiuping, Wu Youzhi, Pi Xiaoqian, Lu Liang, and Xiao Yun all gave one hundred thousand.
Those who gave thirty thousand or twenty thousand were the heads or managers of Guo Xuyang's various real estate, hotel, and guesthouse businesses.
The handsome young men and beautiful girls from the several 4S stores generally gave two thousand, and Lin Ziqi also gifted one hundred thousand.
Lin Zixuan had been given one million by Guo Xuyang in advance, allowing her to decide how much to give.
Like her sister, she also gave one hundred thousand.
"Sister, you don't need to give so much. Where did you get so much money?" Lin Ziqi whispered.
"I had saved some before, and it's better if we all give the same, otherwise it looks bad."
Lin Zixuan dared not tell the truth, fearing her sister would fly into a rage if she knew.
"I remember you used a loan to buy your house. When did you save so much?"
"I used a provident fund loan and also withdrew some of my provident fund. This is what's left after withdrawing."
"It's not easy for you to save money. Let me know in the future when you need to spend. I've opened several raw stones with Yangzi and saved some."
Lin Ziqi spoke with a mix of truth and falsehood, not telling her sister exactly how much money she had.
She feared her sister would become jealous if she knew.
Xu Lili also gifted one hundred thousand. She had earned tens of millions from the stone cutting last time.
Xiao Yu could hardly believe her eyes when she saw Lu Liang. She hadn't expected to see him at such an event.
"You're back? That's great."
"Do you miss me? Why are you so excited?" Lu Liang still had his roguish demeanor.
"Miss you for what? It's because I was worried you wouldn't come back."
"It's okay, good fortune favors the brave. I'm blessed with luck, they don't want me," Lu Liang boasted.
"How did you get back?"
"Here, Yu'er brought me back," Lu Liang gestured towards a girl next to Guo Xuyang.
"She's Yu'er?"
"Yes. Didn't Yangzi send you a photo?"
"He did. I think she looks better in person than in the photo."
Today, Yu'er was wearing a colorful slim-fitting long dress, a white fur coat over her upper body, and a bracelet on her wrist. Her delicate face, smooth as if she could be blown by a puff of air, wore a constant smile, making her appear pure and beautiful.
"Where did this enchanting creature come from? So beautiful," Xiao Yu glanced at Lu Liang.
"Yangzi didn't tell me," Lu Liang shrugged.
"What? Is it still a secret? I'll ask him later. Otherwise, I won't process that permit for him."
"I advise you not to provoke him. If he doesn't want to say, he has his reasons for not wanting to. Why bother knowing so much? It's no benefit."
Lu Liang gave her a reminder.
Xiao Yu was just curious, which was why she made that remark.
As someone who came from a special forces background, she certainly knew what she should know and absolutely did not inquire about what she shouldn't.
Yu'er stayed closely by Guo Xuyang's side, curious about everything.
Knowing things in Guo Xuyang's mind was one thing, but experiencing them firsthand was another.
Today, all the women around Guo Xuyang were dressed up in their finest, each more beautiful than the last.
Li Minxi wore a purple cloak, adorned with bracelets, earrings, a pendant, and rings, exuding the aura of a powerful female CEO.
Xiao Yun wore an embroidered qipao, with a top-grade imperial green jade bangle on her wrist, a pair of stud earrings, and an imperial green jade necklace on her neck, complementing her tender face with the grace of a woman from Jiangnan.
Xia Li wore only a bracelet, her hair down, dressed in professional attire, exuding a particular charm.
Guo Yiyang wore a floor-length gown and had her hair styled high, revealing her fair neck and the prominent imperial green jade necklace.
Ye Zi wore a high-necked sweater on her upper body, jeans on her lower body, and white sneakers.
A delicate pendant dangled between her cleavage, making her ample bosom appear even more magnificent.
Elena had also dressed up carefully today, but due to her physical condition, she wore cartoon pajamas underneath a bright red down jacket.
Each person had put thought into their attire, wanting to stand out.
