The emcee smiled and took the red envelope from Xu Gengnian's hand. He waved it in front of the guests and said loudly, "This is a gift from Xiaona's family. It's also a wedding gift. It's also a dowry for the groom and a living fund for the couple. It's a passbook of 500,000 yuan. From this, we can feel how much her family loves Xiaona and our groom …"
The emcee was also a person who knew how to make trouble. He seized this opportunity to show his eloquence. At the same time, he praised the generosity of the bride's family and gave his blessings to Xu Gengnian and his wife.
The guests under the stage saw that Li Rui, the representative of the bride's family, gave Xu Gengnian, the groom, a dowry of 500,000 yuan. Although the amount was not a lot and was far from matching Xu Gengnian's identity as a vice governor, it was actually not a small amount. Nowadays, the dowry given to the daughters of ordinary working families was basically the price of a car, which was about 100,000 yuan. The better ones could get 300,000 yuan or 400,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan was not a small amount. It could be said that the bride's family was generous enough to buy a small square meter house in the provincial capital or a medium-sized luxury car. From this, it could be seen that Li Xiaona's family was relatively rich and powerful. Although they were not as rich as Xu Gengnian, Xu Gengnian did not marry her for her family's power.
These guests originally looked down on Li Xiaona when they saw that she was willing to marry Xu Gengnian, an old man. Her parents were not present, and there were not many family members of her family. They even regarded her as a prostitute who fawned over the rich and powerful. Now, when they saw her brother give Xu Gengnian a dowry of 500,000 yuan, their impression of her immediately changed. They felt that she was born in a good family and had a certain family background. At the same time, they felt that she looked more beautiful and noble.
Dong Jieyu sat under the stage and heard several female guests at the same table whispering.
"This bride is not bad. She is beautiful and her family is rich!"
"She is not short of money and is willing to marry Gengnian. It seems that there is true love between them!"
"I said before that Li Xiaona is a good match for Gengnian. She has the temperament of a lady …"
"Xu Gengnian has married a good wife this time."
"Yes, in the future, Old Xu's house will be managed by her, so there won't be any problems."
When Dong Jieyu heard these words, he felt very gratified. He felt that his previous consideration was right. If he and Li Rui had not discussed and paid for Xiao Na's support, how could she be so easily accepted by these picky relatives and friends of the man today? Of course, even if Li Rui didn't fork out this money, after Xiao Na married Xu Gengnian, everyone would still give her face out of respect for Xu Gengnian. However, it was two different things if they truly respected her and if they pretended to respect her. If they could prevent Xiao Na from being looked down upon in the future, it was worth it to spend this 500,000 yuan. But then again, he was willing to spend 500,000 yuan on Little Na. From this, it could be seen that his relationship with Little Na was very deep. He believed that it was definitely not as simple as the relationship between uncle and nephew. Alas, this fellow didn't even let off his former 'niece'. He's truly worse than a beast.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Li Rui had already gotten off the stage and returned to his seat.
When Dong Jieyu saw that there was no smile on his face, he teased him in a low voice, "What's wrong? Do you feel sorry for Xiao Na or feel sorry for the 500,000 yuan? " Li Rui sneered and said, "I don't feel sorry for anything. What nonsense are you talking about? I just feel that 500,000 yuan is a little too little. It would be better if I could pay one million yuan." Dong Jieyu curled his lips in disdain and sarcastically said, "Why don't you just give your entire family to Xiao Na as her dowry?" After that, he turned his head and ignored him.
The wedding ceremony soon ended. The hotel waiters, who had been waiting for a long time, brought the wine and dishes to the table, and the banquet began.
Not long after Li Rui began to eat and drink, his personal cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and was overjoyed. The phone call was from his little wife, Gao Zixuan. When he saw her name, his heart warmed and he picked up the phone without thinking.
Gao Zixuan said angrily as soon as she answered the phone, "Do you still want your wife's supplements? If you want them, hurry up and get them! "Li Rui smiled and said," Yes, of course I want them. But I'm in the middle of a wedding banquet, so I don't have time for them. Wait a little longer. I'll finish eating as soon as possible and then go to your place to get them. "Gao Zixuan asked," Where is the wedding banquet? "Li Rui told her the name of the four-star hotel. Gao Zixuan said with disdain, "What a lousy hotel. You haven't even heard of its name. Hurry up, I don't want to wait any longer. "Then she hung up the phone without waiting for him to say anything.
After Li Rui put away his cell phone, he caught a glimpse of Dong Jieyu next to him looking at him. He said to her in a low voice, "After the banquet, I'm going to a friend's house to get something. Come with me. When we get there, wait for me in the car." Dong Jieyu looked at him impatiently and said, "You already said that on the way here." Li Rui smiled and said, "I just want to confirm it with you." Dong Jieyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're so long-winded."
After a while, Xu Gengnian and Li Xiaona came over to propose a toast. Li Rui drank, and Dong Jieyu replaced the wine with tea. Then Xu Da came over to drink with Li Rui. The two of them toasted. After Li Rui put down the wine glass, he formally introduced Dong Jieyu to him. Xu Da couldn't help but have another drink with her. Dong Jieyu also replaced the wine with tea. As usual, she didn't touch a single drop of wine.
After drinking, Xu Da said to Li Rui in a low voice, "Brother Li, after the banquet ends, don't leave. I have something to tell you." Then she smiled at him and left.
Li Rui was puzzled. What did he want to tell him? Was it about his father's marriage with Li Xiaona? Or was it something related to him? What kind of medicine was this brat selling in his gourd? But he didn't say anything now. It was a waste of time and effort.
The banquet went on for more than an hour. When it was about 12: 30 p.m., it began to gradually disperse. Friends and relatives said goodbye to Xu Gengnian one after another. Xu Gengnian sent them off in person or sent his nephews. The lively atmosphere of the wedding banquet came to an end.
Li Rui wanted to go to Gao Zixuan's house, but when he thought of Xu Da's instructions, he couldn't just leave. He could only sit on the chair and wait patiently. After waiting for about ten minutes, when almost all the guests in the banquet hall had left, he saw Xu Da walking over in a hurry. He hurriedly stood up to welcome her.
Xu Da didn't talk nonsense with him. She took his arm and led him to the right of the two private rooms in the hall.
After entering the private room, Xu Da closed the door behind him. With a wave of his right hand, he took out an envelope from nowhere and handed it to Li Rui with a smile. However, his tone was very sincere as he said, "It's nothing else. This is what my dad told me to pass to you, Brother Li." He asked me to pass a message to you. He said that since the bride's family has paid for the dowry, he, as the groom, has to give you a gift. He said that this is a belated gift. He hopes that you won't think it's too little. "
Li Rui was shocked. He didn't expect Xu Gengnian to play such a trick with him. He hurriedly refused, "How can you say this? Governor Xu is too polite. I …" Xu Da didn't wait for him to finish speaking. She reached out her left hand and grabbed his right hand. She gently twisted it to the side and stuffed the envelope into his coat pocket with her other hand.
Li Rui was shocked. He wasn't shocked by Xu Da's action of pushing the gift over, but by the strength in his hand. When his right wrist was grabbed by Xu Da's left hand, he clearly felt a huge confinement force from Xu Da's hand. He felt that his hand was like an iron claw. After his wrist was grabbed by Xu Da, it was like a chicken falling into an eagle's claw. He didn't have the slightest ability to resist. What was even more frightening was that Xu Da's strength only appeared once at the beginning. After he twisted his hand away, his hand returned to its soft and gentle state. There wasn't a trace of extra strength, as if he had never used any strength.
In fact, if it was someone else, Li Rui definitely wouldn't be able to feel the sudden appearance and disappearance of Xu Da's strength. However, Li Rui was a martial artist. Although his kung fu wasn't very high, he could be considered an expert compared to ordinary people. This was why he could feel the wonders of Xu Da's strength.
Li Rui was so shocked that he sucked in a breath of cold air. Hiss … this governor's son was obviously an expert. Not to mention other things, he had to have at least five years of training in strength. Moreover, he had to have trained in pure internal martial arts for five years. This was because external martial arts couldn't be trained to perfection and at the same time maintain the softness and tenderness of the hands.
"Eh, as the son of the deputy governor and working abroad all year round, how could he have such a high level of kung fu? That's really strange! "
Li Ruixin was bewildered. However, he didn't express any doubts or curiosity. After all, he and Xu Da had just met and their friendship wasn't that deep. It wouldn't be too late to ask after they became good friends.
