Today, Xu Weixia looked exceptionally handsome in a well-tailored light blue suit, holding his stunning bride Angelina, who was dressed in a beautiful high-fashion wedding gown. Under the guidance of the staff, they posed for their wedding photos.
Not far away in the lounge area, Eva wiped away her happy tears, while Xu Li wore a proud and joyful expression as she chatted and laughed with Alexander. Anna was engaged in conversation with Yelena.
Maria and Yekaterina had also cleared their schedules to witness this important moment for the newlyweds. "Sister, you’re so tall," Maria's daughter said, looking up at Zhuo Ya with envy. Zhuo Ya squatted down and playfully pinched the little girl's cheek, saying, "You’re very cute too."
After Xu Weixia and Angelina finished their wedding photoshoot, they received their marriage certificate. The two families then traveled in luxury cars to a grand mansion where many guests were already waiting.
In this part of the world, obtaining a marriage license and holding the wedding ceremony typically happen together. They also had similar customs to those in Huaxia, such as blocking the groom at the door. Xu Weihua continuously offered advice to help his younger brother successfully win over his beautiful bride.
Xu Li joined Alexander in toasting and chatting with the guests before heading to the study. The Emperor was enjoying his granddaughter's wedding feast and waved cheerfully at Xu Li.
After chatting for a while, the Emperor slowly asked, "Young man, what are your thoughts on our country? I don’t want to hear insincere words; I need you to share your genuine opinions."
Xu Li remained silent for a long time before responding, "Currently, what we lack most is a light industry supply chain. It’s impossible to transition economically because for the past century or so, we have focused on heavy industry. Even if you want to shift from heavy industry to light industry, Angsatuan and those squids will fiercely oppose it because there is vast land and countless resources here. As long as there is technology, developing light industry can happen quickly."
The aging leaders hope to see their vision fulfilled. Once significant initial accumulation is achieved under your leadership, many will lose sleep over it because it conflicts with their core interests!
The Emperor nodded without speaking. Alexander entered the study and closed the door behind him, lighting a cigar for Xu Li. After taking a puff from the cigar, Xu Li raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "It’s not that I want to speak on behalf of my Motherland; it’s just that the facts are clear—our country is fundamentally a federal state."
In contrast, Huaxia still needs to focus on development and lacks a true partner—someone they can trust completely. Our country would be a suitable match!
He exhaled smoke and added, "Actually, I’ve been following major news from Blue Star closely. I have an unsettling premonition that war isn’t far off!"
The Emperor laughed heartily but there was a hint of sorrow in his eyes; there are no winners in fratricidal wars!
Not far from Red Square stood an upscale residential complex where Alexander had prepared a top-floor three-story duplex as a wedding gift for his daughter and son-in-law. Additionally, he provided two cars and corresponding household help.
Xu Li’s family stayed in their new home for two days while exploring Moscow before returning to their ranch. Meanwhile, Xu Weixia and Angelina continued with their studies and jobs, planning to travel for their honeymoon after the New Year holiday.
Looking at the photos Xu Weixia sent him on his phone, Peter felt a twinge of envy as he remarked, "Sister Angelina is so beautiful."
"Yes, she really is beautiful; marrying into our family seems like a bit of an injustice," Peter said seriously, causing the little girl to roll her eyes at him. On stage, Safna tightened her right fist and called out, "Peter, why don’t you answer this question?"
Peter, caught by his sister-in-law, quickly stood up and looked at the blackboard, his lips trembling slightly. "Um, this... this should be..." He stammered for a long time without finishing his sentence. Safna, not angry but rather exasperated, waved her hand to signal him to sit down. "So you’re not paying attention in class, huh? Come to my office after class, and you too, Lisa."
