When the emcee's narration sounded, Li Dong, whose mind was blank, came back to his senses.
The wedding consultant on the side also reminded him in a low voice, and Li Dong entered the venue.
Li Dong nodded slightly and stepped onto the long red carpet amidst the music.
On the other side, Shen Qian also stepped forward at the same time.
Shen Qian came out holding Du Anmin's arm. Everyone was not surprised that Du Anmin would appear, but when they saw the two little girls behind Shen Qian, one tall and one short, many people were slightly suspicious.
It was not strange to have a flower girl ask for a wedding dress, but what was strange was that Li Dong was the richest man in the country.
Even if his relatives and friends did not have children of the same age, there was no need to choose two girls with a big age gap to ask for a wedding dress.
The younger one was fine, because her age was just right. The taller one was obviously much older, and a little girl of this age was not suitable to be a flower girl.
Although they were curious, the big shots were obviously not so eager to ask about this matter.
However, there were also people who knew the inside story. Someone whispered, "The two adopted children."
This was heard by the people next to them, and everyone understood.
It was not a big secret that Li Dong had adopted two little girls.
At that time, Li Dong was actually very young, and he was not married. It was actually illegal for him to adopt children.
However, Li Dong later registered the adoption under his parents' names. Although it was not very compliant with the procedures, no one found fault with it.
This matter could not stand up to scrutiny. If what happened in the past was really dug up, many people would also be unlucky.
Tian Xiaoyu and Little Shitou were in an orphanage, why were they adopted, how did they end up on the streets, and finally become a tool to earn money …
It was fine if these things were not said, but if they were said, who knew how big the implications would be.
As a well-known philanthropist in the country, since Li Dong was willing to adopt, regardless of whether the procedures were compliant or not, Li Dong did not need to do anything after the matter was settled. Naturally, someone would help him deal with the matter.
Today was Li Dong's wedding, so it was understandable that he arranged for these two children to be flower girls.
As for whether they matched, not many people really cared. If Li Dong did not care, then everything was not a problem.
…
The host's narration continued, but Li Dong did not hear what others said. At this time, Li Dong's movements were somewhat mechanical.
At this moment, the only feeling Li Dong had was, 'Damn, why is this red carpet so long!'
He felt as if he had walked for a long time, but Shen Qian was still on the opposite side.
At this time, Li Dong was a little distracted. and was not as nervous as before.
Thinking, Li. Thinking, he., and, and, the wedding, Li, and Li Dong, Shen, and.
After a while, Li Dong and Shen Qian finally arrived at the midpoint.
The host on the stage continued with the process and finally asked, "May I ask if the bride's father has any other instructions for the couple?"
Du Anmin stared at Li Dong for a while, then looked at his daughter. Seeing that his daughter's face was full of happiness, he slowly handed Shen Qian's hand to Li Dong. Finally, he said, "Take good care of Qianqian. I wish you all the best."
Li Dong nodded quickly and took Shen Qian's hand. The two began to walk forward.
…
Below the stage.
As Li Dong's wedding proceeded, when the host said the wedding vows, the people sitting next to Hu Xiaorui stared at her nervously.
Sun Yuehua had specially rushed back from Beijing today and kept staring at her daughter.
She was very worried that in the next moment, her daughter would suddenly say, "I don't want to."
If that really happened on this occasion, the entire Hu family, the Sun family, and even Li Dong, the Shen family, and the Du family would become a laughing stock.
Almost half of the business world in Hua Xia were present today.
Not only the business world, but also the friends and relatives of both sides, including the Jiangbei government, and countless people who were watching.
Sun Yuehua disapproved of her daughter attending the wedding from the bottom of her heart.
Not only did she not want her daughter to come, but she also did not want to come.
But her daughter was here, and she was worried, so she came along.
When the best man and bridesmaid brought the wedding rings on the stage, and the host began to ask questions, Sun Yuehua and Hu Ming became more and more nervous.
"Now, may I ask the groom, are you willing to marry the person by your side … forever?"
When the host finished asking the repetitive love vows, Sun Yuehua could not help but whisper, "Xiaorui!"
Hu Xiaorui's eyes were fixed on the two people on the stage. As if she knew what her mother was thinking, Hu Xiaorui snorted softly, "I'm fine!"
When she said that, Sun Yuehua let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that her daughter still had a sense of propriety.
But then she heard Hu Xiaorui whisper, "At this time, I really hope that Li Dong will say that he is not willing, but I don't know if he dares to do it!"
"Ahem …"
A few people next to her coughed softly, covering her words.
What a joke, unless water was wrong with Li Dong, he would not do such a thing at this time.
As expected, Li Dong did not make any trouble at his own wedding.
After the host finished asking, Li Dong, like all the other grooms, answered, "I do!"
And then, Shen Qian answered the same.
When the two of them finished exchanging the wedding rings, it was supposed to be a time for the parents to speak on the stage, followed by a speech by the witness.
These procedures were all established procedures.
But when the host was about to continue the procedure, Li Dong suddenly said, "I want to say a few words."
As soon as he said that, the guests did not care, but many people's expressions changed slightly.
…
On one side of the red carpet, Shen Xuehua frowned and said with an ugly expression, "What does he want to say?"
Du Anmin shook his head slightly and did not say anything.
And the wedding planning team, including the host, were a little worried that Li Dong would disrupt the process at this time.
But if Li Dong wanted to say something, no one dared to refuse.
…
On the stage, opposite Li Dong, Shen Qian's expression did not change, and she still maintained her smile.
And Li Dong also held the microphone, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "At this moment, I actually want to say a lot, but I don't know where to start. This beautiful and charming lady next to me has become my wife. This is actually a scene that I did not expect. Four years ago, I met my wife, and the moment we met was actually not a happy moment. It is hard for me to imagine and believe that four years later, she will be accompanying me on the red carpet with me. "
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight noise under the stage.
What was Li Dong trying to do by saying this at this time?
But Li Dong did not care about this, and said with a smile, "Sometimes God actually likes to play tricks on people. Sometimes, fate is so mysterious. It will always give you something different when you don't expect it. From knowing each other for four years, to staying together, and now walking into the hall of marriage. Sometimes, in the dead of night, I ask myself, is all this real? I also ask myself, what do you like about her, why did you marry Shen Qian? "
"Sometimes, some things, in fact, are actually very difficult to find the answer. Today, my father-in-law is here. Someone once asked me, does your marrying Shen Qian have anything to do with your father-in-law? "
Li Dong paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "In the past, even I found it hard to tell myself, no, it has nothing to do with me.
Because at that time, I could not look at myself from a transcendent position, to measure myself.
These days, when I was preparing for the wedding, I began to carefully recall everything that had happened since we met.
At this time, I can tell myself that I can already stand on God's point of view and look at this relationship anew.
Now, although my father-in-law is still in his position, I can say this, I am not afraid of him!
At this time, I actually do not care what position he is in.
I have come to this point, and my father-in-law can not be erased just because he wants to. Of course, I did not mean to provoke him, so please do not take it to heart, father-in-law. "
Below the stage, Du Anmin's face was a little stiff. This bastard, are you sure you are not provoking him?
When the others heard this, they relaxed a little. Judging from Li Dong's tone, he should not be looking for trouble for himself.
Indeed, Li Dong did not have the intention to look for trouble for himself. After teasing him, Li Dong continued, "I carefully looked at myself and my wife, and re-evaluated myself.
In the end, I realized that some things cannot be controlled by power and wealth.
In 2005, I met Shen Qian.
After that, for a few years, even until 2008, I did not dare to confirm whether I really loved her, or whether I just lacked a support, a person to talk to.
At that time, I more or less had a utilitarian heart.
The time when I really clearly understood myself was in the second half of 2008.
At that time, I had internal and external troubles, and I was surrounded by enemies.
Some people knew, and some didn't. It did not matter, and that was not the point.
The point was, at that moment, there was a silly woman who did a rather crazy thing.
She originally had a bright future. She had a rich mother and a powerful father. It could be said that she was a big winner in life.
She wanted to find a good man, and there were many good men in the world!
But that silly woman gave up everything for me, Li Dong. Really, I find it hard to believe that other than your parents, there is actually a woman who is not related to you by blood, who is willing to do so for you!
What is her motive?
Is it because I, Li Dong, am rich?
I asked myself before, but when I asked, I felt that I was really thinking too much.
Back then, when I, Li Dong, was troubled by money, she did not hesitate to support me with a billion. She did not even write me an IOU.
At that time, was I richer than her?
To be honest, I did not. Actually, my so-called net worth has always been an estimate, not actual money. In terms of real wealth, I am inferior to her.
Since she did not want money, then what is she after?
Is it because I am handsome? "
Li Dong laughed and said, "When I said that, some people laughed. It seems that it was not because of that. She did not want money, and it was not because I was handsome that made her throw herself at me. Then why? Is it because she felt that I have a bright future? In 2008, when no one expected it, she guessed that she could become the wife of the richest man in the world if she married me, Li Dong? "
"If she really had such foresight, then she could become the richest man in the world. At that time, even I did not expect it, and naturally, Shen Qian did not expect it either.
So, I thought about it, and I am afraid that it was really because of love.
When a woman falls in love, there is no need to think about their intelligence.
Ask yourself, when a woman, just because of love, is willing to do so much for you, will you really be unmoved?
No one will!
Even if your blood is cold, you will not be unmoved, and you will not think that it is natural.
But that kind of sacrifice will put a lot of pressure on a man, especially when this woman has a strong background. At least, at that time, it gave me a lot of pressure.
I was in a confused period, and I could not tell why I loved.
How much of my love was real, and how much of it was fake? How much utilitarianism was mixed in it?
This kind of love was not pure, and it made me feel guilty.
All these changes happened in 2009! "
When Li Dong said this, many people had already guessed what he was going to say.
As expected, Li Dong, who was on the stage, was in high spirits at this moment. He said loudly, "In 2009, I defeated Gome, and became the absolute ruler of the domestic retail industry!
Many of my industries have achieved breakthroughs.
I stood firmly as the richest man in the country, and even began to make arrangements, preparing for my international expansion plan.
At the beginning of the year, I completely withdrew from Beijing, and abandoned all places that might be related to my interests.
Today, in front of everyone, I, Li Dong, would like to say, for the past five years, I have borrowed my father-in-law's power, and this is undeniable.
Not only my father-in-law, but I, Li Dong, climbed up step by step, and borrowed a lot of power, including those few people!
But I dare to say, I, Li Dong, have walked my own path, step by step.
Everyone, let me say something that I am not afraid of offending, who has not been like this at the beginning?
Borrowing all the power to climb up, this is the nature of society!
And when I transcend the original limits, I no longer need to think about these things, and I no longer need to weigh these things.
Therefore, I, Li Dong, have completely seen that some things do not necessarily have to be related to benefits.
I love my wife, this is undeniable.
If I did not love her, the moment I completed my transformation, I could have continued to marry Shen Qian, but I would not say this today!
I said this because I want my wife to understand that this moment, when I walk on the red carpet with her, is not utilitarian.
Although she did not say it, I know, she will also think about it!
I do not want her to think so much, and I do not want her to always think that I am with her because of fear, because of guilt, because of something else …
None of them!
Companionship, mutual understanding, gratitude, and the fact that she's quite beautiful. These factors finally combined to create the present, the crystallization of love, and this wedding! "
When Li Dong said this, at this moment, the people below the stage, whether they understood or not, at this moment, at this moment, thunderous applause.
Li Dong did some in-depth analysis of his marriage and love, those who understood naturally understood, and those who did not understand, did not need to understand.
At this moment, Shen Qian, who did not cry when she went out in the morning, now had tears in her eyes.
Wasn't this the moment she was waiting for?
Did she love Li Dong?
Yes!
Just as Li Dong said, if she did not love, she was rich and powerful, why did she have to look for Li Dong?
There were many rich men, to that extent, would it really be her measurement of wealth?
Not to mention a few years ago, even in 2008, Li Dong might not necessarily have as much wealth as her and Shen Xuehua.
Literal wealth didn't mean anything.
At that time, Shen Xuehua could use billions of cash flow, which belonged to her, but did Li Dong have the same cash flow?
At that time, Du Anmin had already been promoted, and Li Dong could not compare.
And in that situation, for Li Dong, she did not care about anything, did not care about anything, did not care about anything else, what else could it be for?
She loved Li Dong, but did Li Dong love her?
This question, Shen Qian rarely thought about it, because she did not dare to think about it.
Perhaps from the very beginning, from the day Li Dong found out about her identity, both of them had mixed too much utilitarianism into it, which made everything not as pure as it used to be.
Therefore, Shen Qian was deceiving herself and did not want to think about it.
In fact, she did not want to reveal all of it, even if it was only to deceive oneself, it did not matter.
But today, Li Dong revealed it himself.
At their wedding, in front of the guests from business, politics, and the entertainment industry, he revealed everything!
He loved Shen Qian, these words, Shen Qian believed, because she knew Li Dong. If not for love, if there were other factors mixed in, today, Li Dong would not have said these words.
