Mr. Lu is against superstition during the day and learns fortune-telling from his wife at night
Chapter 7 Shen Yining's Wedding
Early in the morning, Shen Xia Xia was awakened by Aunt Lin.
Mother Lin brought some people and brought over some clothes.
"Madam, today is the day when the younger sister of the Shen family is getting married. The old lady asked me to prepare two sets of clothes for you and the young master, and to help you dress up."
Shen Xia Xia was drowsy: "Aunt Lin, please take it out. I don't plan to go."
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "The Lu family is a wealthy family, and they are very particular about etiquette. The Shen family is your mother's family, so of course you have to go. This not only represents you, but also represents the face of the entire Lu family. The old lady is the most polite."
There are many rules in wealthy families, and Shen Xia Xia has seen them all on TV.
If she doesn't get up, Old Lady Lu will probably come and call her herself.
Shen Xia Xia got up dazedly: "I'll go, take Lu Jingchen's clothes back."
How could Lu Jingchen accompany her to such an occasion? The Lu family said that they had never seen him attend any public occasion.
"Auntie Lin, bring my clothes over. I'll go."
A familiar, low, and magnetic voice sounded, and Shen Xia Xia instantly lost all her sleepiness.
"What did you say? It's not too late to regret now."
"Let Ah Hui help me up. I want to accompany my wife to the wedding."
Ah! The sun rises from the west?
"Then let's go together."
Although Shen Xia Xia didn't know what medicine Lu Jingchen took today, since he wanted to go, they could go together.
In the cloakroom, Shen Xia Xia has finished dressing up.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Shen Xia Xia was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. Is this still her?
No wonder they say clothes make the man and saddles make the horse.
He has changed his previous image of a country bumpkin.
Shen Xia Xia in the mirror was wearing a light pink satin tube-length dress with a simple and delicate bow on her chest, and a few strands of black hair were tied behind her head with the pink bow.
The already delicate facial features become even more bright and attractive.
She looks just like a runaway princess.
When Shen Xia Xia walked out, Lu Jingchen, who was waiting with a cold face, moved his eyes slightly, and a light flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.
"Well, it's getting late, Master and Madam, please get in the car."
Mother Lin sent them to the nanny car and drove quickly towards the wedding hotel.
Shen Yinning wore a pure white wedding dress, and the emerald necklace around her neck was very eye-catching.
Shen Xia Xia glanced at Shen Yinning. The black energy between her brows became thicker and covered a wider area.
Even the groom Gu Jingchen standing next to him started to climb up a little.
Zhong Caiyun and Shen Yining almost didn't recognize Shen Xia Xia.
It was so dazzling. They had never realized before that Shen Xia Xia was so beautiful.
What shocked them even more was Gu Jingchen behind Shen Xia Xia.
The man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, a sharp face, and a well-tailored suit, looking like a gentleman.
Even though he is sitting in a wheelchair, it cannot conceal his tall and slender figure.
Compared to him, the originally handsome groom Gu Yanshen looked much dimmer.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Shen Yining felt a little regretful.
He frowned slightly: "Didn't they say that Lu Jingchen was an ugly, sickly person with sores all over his body? How come he is so handsome in real life?"
Zhong Caiyun snorted coldly: "No matter how handsome he is, he is still a useless disabled person in a wheelchair. Compared with Gu Yanshen, he is still far behind."
Yes, disability is always a disability.
Shen Yining's mood improved instantly.
Before the ceremony.
The host began to read out: "The Shen family's dowry is 20 million, two shops, a villa, and a rare treasure."
Of the 20 million, 10 million was the betrothal gift from the Lu family to Shen Xia Xia, and another 10 million was taken by Shen Minghan and his wife themselves, which almost emptied the Shen family's assets.
Twenty million is nothing to a wealthy family, but to people in the Shen family's circle, it is still a considerable sum of money.
This is a segment that Zhong Caiyun specially added, just to show everyone how outstanding her daughter is and how outstanding the person she married is.
"Oh, the Shen family is really generous. They spend so much money on their daughter's wedding."
"Yes, yes, it's really glorious. It gives my daughter enough confidence."
“It’s great to be born in such a family.”
The guests at the table were talking about it and all looked at it with envy.
Shen Yining was even more arrogant and proud like a swan, and she did not forget to glance at Shen Xia Xia with contempt.
Next it was time to announce the Gu family’s betrothal gift.
The Gu family has been keeping this matter strictly confidential. The Shen family is marrying up, and Zhong Caiyun doesn't dare to ask too much. If she asks too much, she's afraid that the Gu family will think they are profit-seeking vulgar people.
After all, Shen Yining has always been a gentle and kind lady. She follows the path of pure love without any mixed interests. She simply likes Lu Jingchen as a person.
Shen Yining asked Gu Yanshen several times, both openly and secretly, and Gu Yanshen said that it was a surprise prepared for her and could not be told yet.
With these words, Zhong Caiyun felt reassured. The Gu family must have prepared a grand wedding gift.
Zhong Caiyun originally wanted to only give a dowry of 10 million plus a house, but she was afraid that the difference between her and the Gu family's dowry would be too great, so she added another 10 million, two sets of goods, and a villa, which almost covered all the Shen family's property.
The host glanced at the list of betrothal gifts, frowned, and didn't know whether to announce it or not. He stood there on the stage in silence for a moment.
Zhong Caiyun in the audience had already gestured to the host impatiently: "Hurry up and speak."
The host responded quietly: "Do you really want to say it? It might cause an uproar if you say it."
Zhong Caiyun was overjoyed. The amount of dowry given by the Gu family shocked the knowledgeable host.
It must be said. Why not say such a glorious thing?
Seeing Zhong Caiyun so determined, the host cleared his throat and said, "The Gu family's betrothal gift is zero."
What? Did you hear that right, Zero?
Zhong Caiyun and Shen Yining's hearts sank from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. There were sighs from the guests and endless discussions below.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that the Shen family is paying for it."
"How much does the Shen family's daughter want to get married? She's willing to pay so much."
"Haha, it's obvious that your husband's family doesn't value you. They look down on you. You won't have a good life in the future."
"Shen Minghan must have emptied his family's savings this time."
"What a money-loser! She's even worse than the eldest daughter. Even though she married a sickly and disabled man, at least she still got 10 million in betrothal gifts."
"I heard that Zhong Caiyun is very bad. She only gave a dowry to her biological daughter. Not only did she not give a dowry to her stepdaughter, but she also ate the betrothal gift."
Brother Yan Shen clearly said that he had prepared a very generous betrothal gift, the host must have seen it wrong.
Shen Yinning didn't care about the eyes of the people below the stage and rushed directly to the stage to grab the list from the host's hand. It was indeed zero, nothing.
In other words, her money and house were wasted.
Shen Yining glanced at the Gu family members in the audience. They continued to eat and drink as if nothing had happened, looking very unhappy.
Shen Yinning rushed to Gu Yanshen and threw the list to him: "Brother Yanshen, what do you mean? The betrothal gift is zero, are you worthy of me?"
Gu Yanshen took a sip of the wine in his hand and looked at Shen Yinning with interest: "Yinning, I never promised to give you any betrothal gifts from the beginning to the end."
Gu's mother Lin Xiawei wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief: "Yin Ning, remember to ask your parents to give you the money for the hotel today."
What? Not only is there no betrothal gift, but the Shen family is also required to pay for the wedding banquet?
If this news gets out, the Shen family will be laughed at!
