The auspicious mont arrived, and the wedding began.
Due to the recent conflict with the Liao Family, Yang Rongguang and his wife didn’t go to the hall to watch the wedding, nor was anyone inviting them over.
After barely waiting for the wedding to end, and as the dishes began to be served, still no one ca to invite them to the table.
"Haha, truly your dear sister!" Liu Cuyun said sarcastically. "Are you sure she even considers you her brother? It sounds nice to say that an uncle should be a key guest at his nephew’s wedding, but I see it’s the biggest joke!"
"Maybe they just forgot because they were busy. We’re not the only guests here," Yang Rongguang didn’t give up and continued making excuses even he didn’t believe. "After all, their side of the family is a large clan; it makes sense to spend more ti attending to them."
"You really believe they are so sort of great clan?" Liu Cuyun sneered. "Didn’t you see how they were snatching tea leaves and pastries just now? Does that seem like the behavior of a great clan?"
"Besides, no offense, but be honest with yourself. Do you truly think your nephew, Fang Po, is worthy of a girl from a prestigious family?"
Stung by Liu Cuyun’s relentless "attacks," Yang Rongguang fell silent because he simply couldn’t retort.
Ling Ya grinned and said, "Dad, mom, don’t mind them. When big brother, sister-in-law Ah Xue, and the others arrive, we’ll just set up our own table."
"Good," Liu Cuyun was very pleased. "I only found out today that we’ve gained two daughters-in-law; it indeed calls for a good celebration."
"Dad, mom."
"Uncle, auntie."
"Hello uncle, hello auntie."
Yang Yu arrived with Shen Silin and Xia Yu, leaving Yang Rongguang and Liu Cuyun stunned, "How co there’s another one?"
Shen Silin snorted, "Yang Yu, you explain to your uncle and aunt yourself."
Yang Yu was a bit embarrassed, but Xia Yu was quite forthright, "Uncle, auntie, I am Yang Yu’s business partner. Currently, I have no place in Tianhai City, so I am staying at his house temporarily. Of course, since Mr. Shen had no objections, I dared to stay."
Shen Silin kept nodding, "Having Miss Xia as a roommate and partner for Yang Yu, I certainly have no objections."
Liu Cuyun was confused by their explanations, but she didn’t continue to inquire further.
Young people’s affairs, she couldn’t control, nor did she want to; all she needed to know was that her son was outstanding and had no lack of beautiful and excellent girls around him.
Yang Xue also arrived, and the family joyfully settled into the most luxurious private room in Jinmao Hotel, ready to dine.
Seeing Shen Yan standing outside, Shen Silin called out, "Yanzi, co and join us for a al!"
Shen Yan was about to refuse when Yang Yu quickly said, "Yanzi, we’re all family here, no need to be so formal all the ti."
With both Yang Yu and Shen Silin inviting Shen Yan to sit down, if she still had reserves, it would seem pretentious, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, thank you Mr. Yang."
In one of the banquet halls of the hotel, the Liao Fangpo family and the Chen ng family were sitting at the main table, eating and chatting.
Chen Guosheng, Chen ng’s father, dressed very decently today, and perhaps because he works in a film and entertainnt company, he didn’t learn anything else but mastered the act of playing the role of a grand family elder perfectly.
However, Mrs. Chen and her son Chen Qiang hadn’t picked up this skill; they wolfed down their food with no sense of decorum.
After all, this was their first ti dining in such a fine hotel in their lives, and who knew when the next ti would be.
Seeing their manners, the Liao Mingliang and Yang Hua couple felt sowhat embarrassed.
To lighten the mood and to divert the Liao couple’s attention, Chen ng casually complained, "Dad, the manager of this hotel is just too much. He promised you a rest room for our relatives, and then he drove them all out. We’re never doing business with them again."
Yang Hua was also fretting about the huge amount she paid for the banquet. When Chen ng said this, she imdiately agreed, "Exactly, exactly, we’re never coming back to such a snobbish, petty hotel!"
If they ca again, she feared her family’s entire savings would be depleted!
"Forget it, there’s no need to fuss over such petty folks." Chen Guosheng pretended to be very generous and then seriously said, "Fang Po, today you and Xiao ng are officially married. As a father-in-law, I must plan well for your future."
Upon hearing this, Liao Fangpo got very excited, "Dad, what do you have in mind? Please, tell ."
"Here’s the deal, I’ve partnered with soone and started a new entertainnt culture company called Linfei New Culture Company. Ostensibly, it’s managed by two young won, but actually, I’m the major shareholder."
Chen Guosheng lied smoothly, "Though your family is reasonably well-off, the convenience store your dad runs doesn’t rank in Tianhai City. So, to not lose face for the Chen family and to help you couple move up the social ladder, I’ve decided to give you shares worth ten million yuan in the company."
Upon hearing that his father-in-law was giving him shares worth ten million, Liao Fangpo’s eyes widened: "Thank you, Dad, thank you!"
Liao Mingliang and Yang Hua were all smiles too: "Thank you, dear in-laws, thank you!"
Chen Guosheng continued, "The shares are a gift, but transferring shares involves taxes. It’s not possible for to cover the tax, right?"
"Of course," Liao Fangpo nodded again and again, "Dad, just tell us, how much is the tax?"
Chen Guosheng spoke like it was a big affair, "The tax on such share transfers isn’t small; ten million in shares requires over a million in taxes. Your family just hosted a wedding and might not be able to produce that much at once. Just put down one million, and I’ll cover the rest."
"One million? We don’t have that much right now..." The Liao couple were instantly troubled. They had spent all their money on the wedding; where could they get more?
"It’s okay if you don’t have that much. Whenever you gather one million, we can then sign the transfer contract," Chen Guosheng said. "However, once the company takes off and the shares increase in value from ten million to twenty million or even thirty million, I might not be willing to give you so much then. After all, I need to leave sothing for my son too."
While Chen Qiang was shoveling greasy lobster into his mouth, he said very discontentedly, "Dad, are you out of your mind? Even if you spoil my sister, you can’t spoil her this much!"
"Shut your mouth, all you know is indulging in food and play, such a disappointnt!" Chen Guosheng scolded his son, "Your brother-in-law is much more driven than you. Maybe if you squander all the family fortune, I’ll still have your brother-in-law to rely on for my old age."
The Liao family listened and felt very pleased; Liao Fangpo nodded vigorously: "Dad, don’t worry, a son-in-law is as good as a son. Both my brother and I will surely take care of you!"
