It was very lively downstairs, and the house upstairs was also full of joy and people.
When Li Dong entered the door, it was just past 6: 30.
Now that it was summer, the sky was dark in winter.
However, at this time, the people who should be here had arrived, including Meng Qiping and the others.
Although they couldn't be the groomsmen, there weren't many taboos for these people to follow.
In fact, in this day and age, many customs didn't have to be followed. Even the older generation could accept it now.
The people who were going to pick up the bride had already arrived.
Li Dong didn't have time to greet them one by one. After chatting with everyone for a while, Li Chengyuan, who had a smile on his face, waved at Li Dong.
Li Dong quickly walked over and said with a smile, "Dad, you're not nervous, are you?"
Li Chengyuan glanced at him and didn't reply. He didn't say anything else. Instead, he reached out and helped Li Dong straighten his collar.
This kind of action was rarely seen between father and son.
Regardless of the relationship between a father and son, silence was more common.
Li Chengyuan didn't say anything. He helped Li Dong tidy up his clothes and patted him on the shoulder. After a while, he said softly, "Once you get married, you'll officially be an adult.
In the past, no matter how great your career was or how high your achievements were, in the eyes of your parents, you were still a child.
But after today, you'll have your own family.
In this life, I haven't done well enough, but my son is outstanding enough. That's enough.
Our generation doesn't ask for anything else. It's just that our children can be successful, safe, and smooth …
"In the past few years, you've changed a lot. I can see it and I'm happy.
"After getting married, you must not be as muddle-headed as before.
"In the past few years, your career has been getting bigger and bigger. Although you don't tell us much about it, your mother and I really care about it.
"The newspapers often report this and that. Many people say that you often take risks. Your mother and I don't understand these business matters, so we won't say anything.
"But remember, no matter how much money you have, it's not as important as your health, let alone your safety.
"Don't exhaust yourself for money, and don't take risks for money.
When it comes to money, it's fine as long as you have enough. Don't put your heart into it. "
After giving his son a few instructions, Li Chengyuan suddenly said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't think too much. Don't always think that you're not a good match with others, that you don't have anything if you don't have money. If it was really gone, then it was gone. It's fine to live a down-to-earth life. Living a stable life is the most important thing. "
Upon hearing this, Li Dong's expression slightly changed. After a long time, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad. Your son isn't someone who feels inferior. I understand what you're worried about. Even if that day did come, I wouldn't collapse. I'm still young. For the rest of my life, I can support myself and the two of you by working part-time. "
Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "Dad, I'm talking too much. Today is your big day. I shouldn't have said these things. Let's not talk about this. Even if your mother and I are not capable, we will not be a burden to you. "
As soon as this was said, Li Dong's eyes suddenly turned red, and his heart ached for no reason.
"We will not be a burden to you." This sentence sounded so familiar.
In his previous life, when he was in the hospital, his parents said this the most.
At that time, the seriously ill parents saw that the family's savings were exhausted, and their son had the idea of selling the house. How could they agree?
Li Chengyuan's "I won't be a burden to you" was so resolute.
On the day he said that, Li Chengyuan gave up treatment and refused to take medicine. If not for the nurse and Li Dong keeping an eye on him, something might have happened.
Later, Li Dong forcefully sold the house. At first, he kept it a secret. Later, when Li Chengyuan's friend from the market came to see him and told him about it, Li Chengyuan didn't say anything, but his will to live was completely gone.
At that time, he thought that he couldn't be a burden to him anymore.
His savings were gone, the house was sold, and the money for the treatment was still not enough. His son was still running around, borrowing money everywhere.
He knew all these things!
Not only did they spend everything they had left for their son, but they also let their son borrow money to treat his illness. How could they bear to do that!
They lost their will to live, did not cooperate with the hospital's treatment, and refused to take medicine …
Not long after, the two seriously ill people passed away one after another.
The couple did not let Li Dong borrow money. Whether it was their savings or the house, since it was gone, there was no point in regretting it.
But if they let their young son borrow money and continue to run around for them, what was the point of living?
Li Dong couldn't understand this kind of thinking back then.
When his parents refused to take medicine, he was angry and resentful. At that time, he couldn't understand it at all. He thought that his parents were muddle-headed because of the illness. At this juncture, they actually didn't cooperate with the treatment!
One had to know how much he had paid to treat their illness and how many people had rolled their eyes at him. If they didn't cooperate now, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
After entering society for a few years, Li Dong understood a little. He also completely understood what his father meant by "not being a burden".
Now, that was what Li Chengyuan had said, but Li Dong suddenly recalled all of this.
At this moment, Li Dong couldn't stop his eyes from turning red.
In one's life, there were not many people who truly treated you well, never abandoned you, and only thought about you wholeheartedly. His parents were definitely one of them.
Perhaps because his parents weren't well-educated and didn't have much achievements, they couldn't be like many rich and powerful people, making him the envy of others.
However, the only thing Li Dong could be sure of was that no matter how poor and useless he was, everyone would give up on him, including his parents.
In the past few years, as his wealth increased and his status rose, Li Chengyuan and his wife didn't change much.
They didn't think that their son would raise flowers and walk birds just because he was rich, nor did they try to enter the so-called upper class.
They were still diligent, leaving early and returning late. They earned a little profit that was insignificant in Li Dong's eyes and saved it bit by bit. They never spent a single cent.
Many times, people who were familiar with them suggested that the couple stop working and stop opening the restaurant. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Li Dong if they had to smile and greet people with such a small amount of money?
At this time, they had to put on airs and mingle with the upper class, bossing people around.
However, even though the two of them listened and did what they did, they still didn't change anything.
In Jiangbei and Pingchuan, many associations invited them to join. Many social groups, including many retired big shots, also invited them to join.
However, the two of them didn't agree. According to them, they didn't understand these things and it would be embarrassing if they went.
In fact, did it matter whether they understood or not?
It wasn't!
What they needed was this signboard!
The two of them weren't stupid. They understood, but their only thought was that since they didn't understand the Dao, they shouldn't get involved. It was fine if they didn't help Li Dong, but they couldn't cause trouble for their son.
Who knew if some of these people had designs on their son, or if they wanted to use them as a breakthrough point?
They didn't understand these things, nor did they know how to scheme. They probably wouldn't even know if they were being schemed against.
If they didn't understand, then they wouldn't go. That was their simplest way of thinking.
…
Li Dong's eyes reddened. When Li Chengyuan saw this scene, he was slightly taken aback. Then, he slapped him hard and said with a chuckle, "What are you doing! It's not like you're getting married. You're getting married. Why are you crying? I already said that you're an adult today. Don't tell me you're unhappy that I'm lecturing you? "
"No …"
Li Dong reined in his emotions and smiled again. "Dad, don't worry. I'll be fine. I'll always be fine. "
"Okay, that's good. Alright, it's getting late. You should go out."
"Okay, then I'll go down first. You and Mom wait at home. I'll bring my new wife to serve you tea later."
Li Chengyuan smiled from ear to ear. He nodded and didn't continue to talk to his son.
…
After saying goodbye to his parents, Li Dong went downstairs with the people who were picking up the bride.
As time went by, more and more people gathered downstairs.
Even many media outlets received the news and rushed over at this time.
Li Dong didn't continue to argue with these people. He led everyone to the wedding car procession outside the neighborhood.
The drivers of the wedding car procession were actually not arranged by outsiders. These drivers were almost all from security companies Far away. They were well-trained and planned in a unified manner, so they could handle any unexpected situations at any time.
Although they were all on the same side, Li Dong didn't skip the necessary procedures.
Red envelopes, wedding cigarettes, and some special small gifts. Li Dong had people distribute these things that needed to be distributed.
Because they were on the same side, Li Dong gave them more things.
When the drivers got those red envelopes, almost no one opened them. However, just from the thickness of the red envelopes, many people knew that the big boss had probably bled a lot this time.
…
While waiting, the team's makeup artist began to put makeup on Li Dong and several groomsmen.
Usually, no matter what activities Li Dong participated in, he almost never put on makeup, and he was impatient with others tinkering with his face.
But today, Li Dong let these guys tinker with his face.
Of course, the makeup artist hired this time was not cheap. Her movements were very fast, and there weren't many places to touch up. However, when Li Dong looked in the mirror, he found that although there weren't many changes, he looked a lot gentler, and his aura had changed slightly.
Before this, perhaps it was because he had been undefeated for so long, Li Dong did not want to show anything, and even subconsciously restrained himself a little.
But the feeling he gave people was that Li Dong was still a little arrogant, and there was a hint of killing intent between his eyebrows.
Now, with a little makeup, the killing intent dissipated a lot, and his whole person became more gentle.
Not only did Li Dong feel it, but Sun Tao, who had already finished his makeup, glanced at him and suddenly smiled. "Your skills are not bad. You don't seem to give people too much pressure at this time. You can consider hiring your own personal stylist. "
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged woman who had just helped Li Dong with makeup suddenly had a look of expectation in her eyes.
Becoming Li Dong's personal stylist was also a big step for her.
Although she was quite famous now, otherwise, she wouldn't have been assigned to do makeup for Li Dong. But if she really became the personal stylist of the world's richest man, it would be completely different.
This was a step towards the top. In the future, when Li Dong attended some important occasions, although most people didn't know about them, people in their line of work would still pay attention to them.
Whether it was his future or his career, it would be a step to the next level.
The makeup artist was looking forward to it, but Li Dong smiled. "Let's talk about it later. I'm a man, and I'm young. I haven't reached the point where I need to rely on makeup to make up for it. The others are old and have wrinkles on their faces, so they have to cover it up. "
"Pfft!"
As soon as he said this, many people laughed.
Even the middle-aged female makeup artist who was a little nervous and expectant just now wasn't so nervous at this time.
Although Li Dong had rejected it, this kind of rejection made her feel less embarrassed and uncomfortable, as if it was supposed to be like this.
As Li Dong teased, time gradually passed.
Soon, Bai Su came over to remind them that it was almost time.
Bai Su wasn't considered as a member of the wedding reception staff. She was now replacing the position of wedding consultant.
In fact, Li Dong had a wedding consultant, but the other party was always a little cautious when talking to Li Dong. They were worried that Li Dong would be dissatisfied or something, so they didn't dare to speak too confidently.
After a few times, Li Dong was a little impatient. He simply let Bai Su communicate with the other party, and Bai Su would directly report to him.
Bai Su reminded them that it was time. Li Dong and the others didn't waste any time. They all got out of the limousine used for makeup and walked to their respective reserved cars.
At 7: 30, the wedding car procession with a Maybach in the lead began to drive towards Lan Mountain Manor.
In fact, the wedding car procession wasn't the whole procession.
Far away, at least more than ten private cars were dispatched, and nearly a hundred elite security guards were in front to clear the way.
There were also many cars following behind.
Some of them were from afar, and some of them were onlookers who came to watch the show. There were also many media vehicles that followed, hoping to capture something eye-catching.
Both in the open and in the dark, a line of carriages that was hundreds of meters long was like a swimming dragon, slowly moving forward on the flat road.
…
At the same time.
Lanshan Villa.
When she saw Du Anmin enter the door with a tired face, Shen Qian also cried tears of joy. "Dad, you are here!"
Although Du Anmin was tired, he was still in high spirits. "My daughter is getting married. How can I not be here?"
He said it casually, but the secretary beside him whispered to Shen Xuehua. "The secretary had a meeting last night and missed his flight. He was afraid that he would be delayed, so he rushed here overnight."
The distance from Beijing to Pingchuan was more than a thousand kilometers, and it would take more than 10 hours to drive.
Although Du Anmin was not driving himself, he was not young anymore. The road was bumpy, and Du Anmin was worried that he might not make it in time. So, he did not sleep for the whole night.
He was old, and he did not sleep for a day and night, so the staff around him were worried.
Last night, someone suggested that Du Anmin could use his privileges to go through the military channels, and he could make it in time this morning.
But Old Du said that his daughter's marriage was a personal matter and had nothing to do with others, so he rejected the suggestion.
Now, although Du Anmin had made it in time, the others were worried that he would not be able to handle it.
The secretary looked worried, but Shen Xuehua smiled and did not say anything.
If Du Anmin did not make it in time, he would regret it. Now that he made it in time, it was fine if the old man was tired.
The father and daughter were still talking, and the others in the villa did not dare to interrupt.
At this time, Du Anmin said loudly. "If Li Dong wants to marry my daughter easily, he has to ask me first! I know that no one will dare to make things difficult for him later. I don't care usually, but today, you must suppress his temper for me! If he is not convinced, let him come and settle the score with me, Du Anmin! "
The moment he said that, many people laughed. Someone said in a low voice, "It seems that father-in-law is afraid that his daughter will be bullied, so he is starting to support her."
Laughing was one thing, but Du Anmin said that. It was fine to make fun of Li Dong.
But if they really thought that they could take the opportunity to bully Li Dong, no one had the guts.
If they really messed up the wedding, Li Dong would not be angry. But if they said that they would make things difficult for Li Dong, Du Anmin would probably be the first to get angry.
This father-in-law and son-in-law were competing with each other, so it was best for others not to get involved.
Many people were eager to give it a try. They really wanted to see if Old Du would really make things difficult for Li Dong later.
