When the two elders arrived at the hotel and saw the luxurious wedding venue, they were momentarily stunned.
"Hey, why does this look different from the pictures?" They turned to their son.
"We changed the location; this place is better," Wang Shun Yuan explained.
"This must have cost a lot of money. Son, don’t think your mother and I are naive. How could you afford this? When I entered the hotel, I saw it was a five-star establishment. With your savings, that surely isn’t enough. You’re not planning to use money from the bride’s family to host this wedding, are you?" Wang Shun Yuan's father said.
"Son, this isn't a joke. Your in-laws already look down on us. If they pay for the wedding, how will you hold your head high in front of them later? If you’re short on cash, just tell us; your dad and I still have some savings," his mother added.
"Mom, Dad, don’t worry. This is arranged by a friend of mine," Wang Shun Yuan reassured them.
"Your friend?" The elders were taken aback, finding it hard to believe.
"It really is my friend; I’ll explain everything later," Wang Shun Yuan said, unsure how to clarify but only able to offer a temporary excuse.
He then arranged for his parents to change clothes before heading out to pick up the bride. The convoy was also organized by Qin Xiaoya, consisting of eight Rolls-Royces. As they drove into Huang Lin's village, it sparked a flurry of gossip among the villagers.
"Weren't we told that Huang Lin was marrying a poor guy? Why is there such a grand display for the wedding?"
"I’ve seen Huang Lin’s boyfriend; he’s just an ordinary office worker from a rural area in Southeast Province. That’s why her parents were so opposed to it. But Huang Lin insisted on marrying him; I heard she’s already pregnant and had to get married."
"I bet it's all for show; you know how the Huang family is—they can't stand losing face. Even if their daughter is marrying poorly, they can't let that be known."
"If it's just for show, they must have spent a fortune on these rentals—probably over a hundred thousand yuan—and I heard the lunch is at a five-star hotel."
The villagers gathered in small groups along the roadside discussing the spectacle. The convoy stopped in front of Huang Lin's house, which looked quite impressive. Jiang Chen noticed Huang Lin's hometown; if not for its proximity to the capital, it was no different from his own village. He couldn't understand why Huang Lin's parents looked down on Wang Shun Yuan. However, today was his brother's wedding day, so Jiang Chen didn’t want to dwell on it too much.
Accompanied by his friends, Jiang Chen followed Wang Shun Yuan to Huang Lin's door, which was tightly shut while a group of children stood outside demanding red envelopes. Jiang Chen, Liu Ying, and Gao Kang quickly pulled out red envelopes worth one thousand yuan each—quite generous—and when the children received them, they scattered off excitedly to count their money.
Wang Shun Yuan stood at the door calling for Huang Lin to open up while Jiang Lu and Qin Xiaoya shouted from inside for big red envelopes. It was Sunday, and they didn’t have classes that day.
Wang Shun Yuan slipped a red envelope through the crack in the door, which then opened smoothly. Following that were some playful games like finding the bride's shoes and kneeling on washboards. Of course, there were also interactions between bridesmaids and groomsmen involving playful kisses. Gao Kang felt shy as he had a girlfriend, while Jiang Chen showed no interest in such antics at all; thus, he let Liu Ying take charge of those activities instead.
