108: Wedding
Shulei's wedding was held as scheduled, and of course, her parents also gladly accepted that she and Wang Yueshan would hold a wedding together in one place. First, there is an overlap in the number of guests they invite, so there's no way around it. Second, such a happy event between the two families can more or less promote the personal friendship between Qu Yaohua and Wang Xiaotian. Third, the Qu family is really not optimistic about Fu Yuanshan's son-in-law, if the wedding is held like this, whether it is public opinion or media reports, all the spotlight will be aimed at the daughter of the Wang family marrying a well-known plastic surgeon who is nearly 40 years old, rather than gossiping about the daughter of the Qu family marrying a poor ghost.
Early in the morning, Qu Shutao was very busy, and Shulei was afraid that her sister would not be able to take care of her alone, so she invited Li Wen and Yang Erman to be her bridesmaids.
Shutao said: "Oh my God, I didn't expect to have a wedding so tiring, I have to put on makeup, get up early, and eat what rice balls, and the wedding team is coming soon, our bridesmaid group has to set up layers of checkpoints in accordance with customs, and we can't let the groom into the house so easily, but I can't overdo it, for fear of missing the auspicious time, and miss my sister's lifelong event, I am annoyed to death when I think of this." β
"It's coming, it's coming, the greeting brigade is coming. Li Wen shouted as soon as he entered the house.
"Oh my God, get the door shut for me......" Shumo yelled.
Although Shu Tao was reluctant, her actions told everyone that she was so happy.
"Three, four, five," Levine counted as he stood by the window in the foyer, looking down at the driveway. There were five cars in the convoy - if you don't count the vans that carried all the maids, there really were only four.
Shu Tao also looked over, and she saw that her aunt and her family had just come from Bangkok on a plane, and she was surprised that there were so few vehicles in their convoy.
Leading the way was a white Mercedes S-Class, apparently supplied by the Thai embassy, but the rest were randomly matched: a BMW X5 SUV and an Audi that was at least five years old, and the last car, she didn't even know what it was β a non-European-made four-door sedan she had never seen before.
Yesterday, when she and her family came to the villa farm, Wu Hua, the administrative assistant of Mr. Qu, arranged a six-train vehicle comparable to the Carpathian Range Rover convoy, so that the people on the Qu family's side parked the car at the front door of the villa farm, which made her deeply impressed.
Today, however, she almost felt sorry for her aunt and her mother's family. Her aunt's husband, Taksin Akara, one of the descendants of the Mongt kings, remembered every detail of her last trip to Thailand, when she was 19 years old, just like yesterday.
The family lives in a cluster of old villas nestled in a garden paradise on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, where the servants of his cousins James, Matt and Adam kneel at their feet as if they were little gods, ready to take care of their every moment, while a fleet of forest-green BMW motorcades hang out in front of Sukhumvet's hottest ballroom.
Then why was the Ancaras car parked in a mess of cars? Wait a minuteβwhat the hell was going on outside? Steward Lou and all the housemaids, including the bodyguards, were all dressed in crisp uniforms and assembled in the driveway in front of the door. Sister Ling and her mother also attended the welcome party! Oh my God, why didn't the relatives and friends on the Qu family's side do this for them when they arrived yesterday?
After performing the necessary etiquette, the groom finally welcomed the bride away, although the Qu family did not particularly care about this wedding, but compared to ordinary people, it was also a high-level wedding, but unexpectedly, there were very few relatives from Qu's mother's side.
Shu Tao and her mother were sitting in the back car, and Shu Tao asked, "Why are there so few people from the Li family?"
Qu's mother was miserable: "I didn't dare to call too many relatives over, because you also know that marrying Shulei to a man like Fu Yuanshan, I really don't have the face to see my relatives and friends over there. β
"Mom! Today is Shulei's big day, can you tell some auspicious words? Don't die or live! If Shulei hadn't been pregnant with someone else's child in the United States, she wouldn't have been able to get to this point. β
"Why didn't you come to this point? Look at it, you and I were with that Fu Yuanshan before, it was not like he didn't marry! Even if there is no such little wild seed, I can't change my reading buds, I have to marry Fu Yuanshan...... " Qu's mother thought for a while, and looked at Shu Tao warmly, "So I know, you are a smart girl, a good girl of your mother, and a treasure in your hand." It's not like your sister lacks roots, so you just listen to your mother, is it okay to marry Yue Ran?"
"Fart, I don't want to marry Yue Ran!"
"Yo, you've slept with someone, what's the matter?
"Mom, how did you know about this?" Shu Tao looked at her mother curiously, thinking about the night she had with Yue Ran in Beijing.
Her mother smiled and said, "Yue Ran's mother told me. β
Oh my God, Shu Tao thought to himself, how can this Yue Ran be this kind of person? Tell his mother about this, is he ashamed or not!
After a while, the car drove to an ordinary residential area of Fu Yuanshan's house, and Qu's mother instantly stretched her face and said to Shutao: "Look at it, where does this family live?" It's really scared to death, I won't get out of the car, you follow Shulei upstairs to meet your parents-in-law." β
"Mom, what's the right thing, you see that Dad has gotten off, you should get off too!" Shutao scolded.
"Oh my God, will Fu Yuanshan wear chemical fiber clothing again today, I'm very afraid of static electricity. β
Shutao got out of the car, stood in front of the car door, glared at her mother and said, "Get out of the car for me!!"
Reading the book Tao was violent, Qu's mother had no choice but to get out of the car, and as soon as she walked to the door of the unit building, Qu's mother turned to Shu Tao and said, "Mom is afraid." β
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm going to climb the stairs!"
Shu Tao looked at the stairs of Fu Yuanshan's house, and almost fainted, but what can be done? Who let Shu Lei marry such a man, Shu Tao took a deep breath and said: "Mom, just bear with me, obediently go upstairs for me!"
Shutao pulled Qu's mother and went up to the building of Fu Yuanshan's house, and as soon as she entered the door, the whole room was crowded with people, and there was no place to sit. Qu's mother fainted instantly, and Shulei turned around and said, "Sister, what's wrong with Mom?"
"Maybe it's a lack of oxygen, hurry up and call the doctor, fortunately, my mother has a doctor with her. β
The doctor came and gave Qu's mother oxygen, and she woke up full. After a false alarm, they hastily performed the ceremony and prepared to rush to the hotel. Sitting in the car, Shutao said helplessly to Qu's mother: "Mom, you really scared everyone just now. β
"Yo, why don't you blame the guys for almost scaring me to death. Qu's mother said angrily.
"Don't I think you're faking faint?"
"Shutao! Do you still have filial piety, you can tell this kind of rebellious words. β
"Alright, alright, today is a festive day, don't be angry with me. β
"I really don't think so, I feel like I have sent Shulei to the execution ground, my heart is always stalked, do you think Shulei will really be happy if she marries Fu Yuanshan?"
Shu Tao heard her mother say this, and she also beat the drum in her heart, and she comforted: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so don't worry about it." β
When they came to the hotel, the hotel was already full of luxury cars, and the two couples stepped out of the float and welcomed the guests. The ceremony will take place in the hotel garden at six o'clock and the dinner will begin at eight o'clock. At this time, Qu's mother and Qu's father came to the lounge where relatives and friends were. Qu Yaohua stared out the window, trying to ignore his wife's constant nagging and arguing with his sister Li Suyuan about the last details.
"No, we have to let the mayor speak first. We will do this according to the official procedure. Qu Mu said.
"But the prince of Borneo will be horribly insulted, and the royals should be ranked ahead of the elected officials," Lee retorted.
"Fart, this is our country, our mayor has priority. You only care about the king, because your family's plantations are all in Borneo. β
"I cared about him because I didn't want him to pee all over the wedding scene while he was talking, and the king was an old diabetic with a very weak bladder. He should be the first to speak. In addition, he knew our mom even before the mayor was born. β
"Pastor Wang Liang should be the first to speak, and he will give a blessing speech. β
"What did you say? You invited Wang Liang to this wedding?" asked Li Suyuan in disbelief.
"Only three. The Honourable Mr. Wang will deliver his blessings, Bishop Lee will be the master of ceremonies, and Pastor Tony will deliver the closing remarks. β
"It's a shame. Is it too late to ask Tony to be the master of ceremonies? He's so much better than that Bishop Lee. Li Suyuan scoffed.
Qu Yaohua sighed and said, "Can you two be quieter? You two make me have a migraine now, if I knew you were going to make such a big noise, I would sit in another hall to rest." β
"You know your bodyguard won't let you be in another hall, which doesn't have bulletproof windows. Qu's mother said in a heartfelt manner, "That's it, no matter what, this is my daughter's wedding, I have the final say on everything, and the mayor will speak first!"
After speaking, according to Qu's mother's meaning, the ceremony was done, and everything went well. Shu Tao, who was standing next to the bride Shulei, was already tired like a pool of stagnant water, looking at the guests coming and going with a blank face. After the toast, Shu Tao returned to the lounge and began to eat in large gulps. Erman looked at Shutao and asked curiously, "Why do you look like a starving ghost?" β
Shutao said as he ate, "Do I have it?" I just haven't eaten this kind of Michelin-starred chef's dish for a long time, and today I want to eat it all in one go!"
Puzzled, she turned to Levine and asked, "What happened?"
Her bank card was frozen by Mr. Qu, and now she only has 50,000 yuan in cash at home, which may last until the end of the year. Li Wen shrugged.
Shutao said: "So what I have eaten recently is what you usually eat, and only today I have the opportunity to eat what I used to eat." β
Erman gasped and smiled helplessly.
After the wedding, Yuanshan was afraid that Shulei, who was pregnant, would be too tired, so he asked the driver to drive Shulei home first, and he had to drink the second half with his colleagues. And Shu Tao was also too tired, so she took Shulei's car back together, and just downstairs Ma Jun suddenly appeared, stopped her and said, "Shu Tao, you have to go home so early." β
Seeing Ma Jun, Shu Tao was extremely happy: "Why did you come here." β
"You stupid, I came to Shanzi's wedding, I didn't dare to go to look for you just now, and now I came here to send you home. β
"Okay!" Shu Tao turned to Shu Lei and said, "You go back alone, I'll let Ma Jun send me back." β
After speaking, Shulei nodded, got into the black Rolls-Royce float, and drove away.
When the car drove away, Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, and Shutao asked, "What's wrong?"
Ma Jun slowed down and said, "It's nothing, maybe there is something wrong with my ears." β
Shu Tao smiled and got into Ma Jun's Porsche, and they drove in the direction of Shu Tao's house.
