Jian Ai looked up and glared at Wang Zichen coldly.
Her gaze was as cold as ice without a trace of warmth. It frightened Wang Zichen so much that his heart thumped.
Wang Zichen: “…”
Wang Zhichen shut his mouth. Jian Ai only looked at him once, then kept her gaze.
Wang Zichen was still shocked, but he was suspicious and angry in his heart. This Jian Ai was usually cowardly and spoke like a mosquito. How dare she glare at him like that?
No, he must have seen wrongly.
Wang Zichen would not admit that he had been frightened by Jian Ai’s gaze.
Jian Ai’s expression returned to normal. She looked at Yao Jiachi and said softly, “Don’t worry about it. Just tell me if you want to go.”
“I do. Of course, I do.”
Yao Jiachi nodded excitedly. His handsome face was cute and charming when he smiled. Jian Ai’s heart was bubbling when she saw this.
…
At five in the morning, everyone boarded the convoy to welcome the bride.
After Wang Yunfa bought the house, he gave the bride’s family a betrothal gift. He still had a lot of money left, so he spent more than thirty thousand yuan to buy a Santana, which was the bridal carriage for today.
The rest of the cars were borrowed from family and friends. They were of different brands, and the best was Wang Yunzhong’s Audi.
The bride’s family was also in South City. She was thirty years old this year. She was not a widow, neither was this her second marriage. It was just that she had never been married. In the eyes of the older generation, she was considered an old girl. However, compared to Wang Yunfa, she was still a few years younger.
The wedding customs in the north were rather complicated. It took more than an hour just to enter the house and snatch the bride. Then, they had to serve tea to their parents.
After a complicated set of formalities, the bride sat in the wedding car and they headed towards the hotel booked in Zhonglou District.
The hotel was Wansheng Hotel in Zhonglou District. When the bridal convoy reached the hotel, it was already ten in the morning. As soon as the convoy arrived, deafening firecrackers sounded.
There was a banner outside the hotel. On it was written, “Congratulations, Mr. Wang Yunfa and Ms. Li Xia on your wedding.”
All the invited relatives and friends alighted. As the elder sisters of the groom, Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi received the guests at the entrance of the hall and received red packets for registration.
“Get them all done carefully. Don’t let anything go wrong.” Old Madam Wang took the time to come to their sides and reminded them in a low voice.
They had to remember the amount of money that was given by every family. When the other party held a wedding, they would return the same amount. This was an unwritten rule in the north.
If others gave you more and you returned less, you would be laughed at and ridiculed.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m meticulous,” Wang Yunzhi answered with a smile.
Although she did not like her two daughters, seeing that they were wearing festive colors today and did not embarrass her, the old lady smiled. “After you are done here, quickly go in and help greet them. Your sister-in-law is alone inside.”
Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi quickly nodded in agreement.
After the old lady left, Wang Yunzhi asked in a low voice, “Sister, how much did you give him?”
Wang Yunmei glanced at her sister and answered, “Three hundred yuan.”
“Me too!” Wang Yunzhi said, looking a little embarrassed. “Is it a bit too little? Elder Brother gave one thousand yuan.”
In this day and age, very few people could give three to five hundred yuan for a wedding. Everyone knew Wang Yunzhi’s family background. Three hundred yuan was not a small sum.
Wang Yunmei had guessed that her sister would be giving three hundred yuan, so she gave three hundred yuan as well. Since his two elder sisters gave the same amount, Wang Yunfa wouldn’t compare them.
