Wei Shuyu was always a man of few words, a typical person who valued words highly: "Zizhou, just drink it."

On Qin Zizhou's side, besides a few close friends with whom he often gets together, some college classmates, high school classmates, and some cousins ​​and younger cousins ​​also came. They were all close relatives, but the number of people was not as many as on Shen Xuening's side.

But there are downsides to having a large crowd. Many people are pouring Qin Zizhou wine for others, something that has never happened before. Now that this is a rare opportunity, they naturally want to seize it.

Qin Zizhou had already drunk many glasses of wine and was feeling a bit numb. He sat down on the sofa and waved his hand, saying, "I'll drink some more later, I can't drink anymore."

Then he remembered the glass of water Shen Xuening had given him before they parted, saying that if he got drunk, he should drink a few sips. He took the glass and gulped down two mouthfuls. As soon as the water went down his throat, the tingling sensation in his body disappeared, and his mind cleared up. It seemed as if he had regained control of his body.

He glanced at the water glass, then took two more sips. Things Xue Ning gave him were always good.

As the effects of the alcohol wore off, Qin Zizhou sat up straight: "Come on, today I'm going to drink you all under the table."

"Great! Come on, bring some wine!" Everyone cheered and poured wine for Qin Zizhou.

Qin Zizhou accepted all the drinks offered, one cup after another. When he got a little drunk, he would just take a sip of water. In the process, he really seemed to have the air of someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

"Holy crap, Zizhou, what kind of cheat code are you using? You drank so much and you're still so sober?"

"Yeah, isn't that incredible? You're acting like you haven't drunk anything."

Did you pour out the wine?

"That's not fair! Let's drink again! Let's drink again! I don't believe that all of us can outdrink you..."

A new round of toasts began, and Qin Zizhou, completely unfazed, drank with everyone as calmly as a mountain, eventually managing to get everyone drunk.

Qin Zizhou sat on the sofa, looking at everyone soberly, and chuckled, "From now on, call me 'The Invincible Drinker,' understand?"

Lin Yanfei gave a thumbs up, surprised and admiring: "Amazing! I'll definitely call you 'The Thousand-Cup-Never-Drunk' from now on."

Qin Zizhou called the waiter to book rooms for everyone present and send them to rest. He then called Shen Xuening, who had just finished her gathering, and said he would go pick her up.

Qin Zizhou called a designated driver and successfully picked up Shen Xuening, and they went home together.

……

Shen Xuening's university chat group.

"Have you seen Shen Xuening's latest video? She's really going to marry Young Master Qin."

"I saw it. She's so lucky. I don't know what stroke of luck she had."

"I don't think it's just a matter of luck that she was able to marry Young Master Qin; she must have some extraordinary qualities."

"Yes, she has some outstanding qualities. How come you didn't notice them before? Now that she's already climbed the social ladder, it's too late for you to say this. Besides, Shen Xuening has already left the group, so she won't see your flattery anymore."

"I wasn't fawning over her, I was just telling the truth. I was blind before, can't I correct that now?"

"I think what you just said was meant for certain people."

"I didn't do that, don't make false accusations."

"Are you two ever going to stop? It's just a small matter, why are you fighting amongst yourselves?"

“We’re just stating the facts… Anyway, I can’t stand him fawning over Shen Xuening like that. So what if he’s getting married? It’s not like he’s become the richest man himself. Besides, marrying into a wealthy family isn’t easy. He’ll be tormented in the future.”

After this was posted, there was no reply in the group for a while before someone finally spoke up.

"Has anyone received a wedding invitation? Putting everything else aside, the Qin family will definitely invite important figures to the wedding banquet. If we can go and take a look, we might be able to close some deals, which could help revitalize the family."

"How could Shen Xuening invite us? She hates us, otherwise she wouldn't have left the group."

"If only I hadn't ridiculed her before, maybe I would still have a chance now."

"It's too late to regret it now, but if anyone can get an invitation, please take it with you."

"Yes, please take me with you."

The group chat fell silent.

"Didn't she receive any invitations? Does Shen Xuening dislike any of her classmates? It seems we've thoroughly offended them."

"If I had known she would do so well, I really should have been more careful with my words before."

"Oh well, it's too late to regret it now."

Yes, you can't buy back your regrets. Everyone in the group is filled with regret and wishes they could turn back time, but unfortunately, time can't be turned back.

"Do any of you have a good relationship with Zhang Qianwen, Zhou Manjun, or Han Yifei? The three of them are close to Shen Xuening. Asking them for help will definitely get you an invitation."

"The three of them are close to Shen Xuening, so they'll definitely side with her. They probably won't give us the invitations, right?"

"We should at least give it a try. It would be such a waste not to attend a wedding like that."

"Then who can contact the three of them?"

"I'll do it." A person in the group named "White Swan" volunteered to take on the task.

"Then hurry up, we'll wait for your news."

"Okay." Swan left the group chat and entered a private chat window with Zhang Qianwen, directly calling her via WeChat.

When Zhang Qianwen saw it was an old classmate, she answered the phone: "Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Have you struck it rich lately?"

“I would like to,” the white swan said with a smile. “Qianwen, I won’t take up any more of your time. To make a long story short, I want to ask you for a favor.”

Zhang Qianwen was somewhat resistant, but out of consideration for their friendship, she asked, "What is it?"

The white swan smiled and said cautiously, "I'd like to attend Shen Xuening's wedding banquet. Do you have any extra invitations?"

Zhang Qianwen immediately understood what was going on and became even more resistant. They had offended Xue Ning, so naturally Xue Ning wouldn't give them invitations. Now they were begging her: "I only have one invitation. If Xue Ning didn't give you an invitation, then you don't have one."

The white swan almost couldn't maintain her laughter: "Qianwen, can you help us think of a way? We really want to go and see that kind of grand event."

"I can't help you with this." Zhang Qianwen pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you just not go? Besides, Xue Ning didn't give you invitations, but I did. Isn't that betrayal?"

The white swan immediately said, "It's not as serious as betrayal; it was just something I did on the spur of the moment."

Zhang Qianwen said, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this."

The white swan was silent for a moment, clearly very disappointed: "Can't you help at all? We know we were wrong, and if we have the chance to go over this time, we will apologize to her."

Zhang Qianwen said somewhat displeased, "You went to someone's wedding to apologize, were you planning to cause trouble?"

The white swan forced a smile and said, "No, I just wanted to turn hostility into friendship."

"No need," Zhang Qianwen refused. "You guys shouldn't go, otherwise I'm afraid Xue Ning will be unhappy. After all, it's a joyous occasion, and it wouldn't be good if the bride was unhappy. Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up." She then hung up the phone.

Hearing the call end, White Swan couldn't help but grit her teeth. As expected of someone who was on the same side as Shen Xuening, she really showed no mercy.

Well, if it's dark in the east, it's bright in the west; there are still two people left.

So she called Zhou Manjun and Han Yifei again, and as expected, both of them rejected her.

The white swan angrily scratched its hair.

Everyone in the group was waiting for Swan's reply and kept urging her. Swan simply replied that she had been rejected and then went offline.

Everyone in the group was dumbfounded. It was so frustrating that Shen Xuening's classmate couldn't get an invitation.

……

Zhang Qianwen immediately told Shen Xuening about the White Swan asking her for an invitation.

Shen Xuening didn't react much. Most of her college classmates came from families in business, and they wouldn't do anything without a profit. She understood their mindset all too well.

Zhang Qianwen asked Shen Xuening, "Xuening, judging from how eagerly they all want to attend the wedding banquet, you might very well see people you don't like at the banquet. You should be mentally prepared."

Shen Xuening didn't care: "They can't affect my mood."

Zhang Qianwen knew Shen Xuening well enough to say, "That's good."

Zhou Manjun and Han Yifei also told Shen Xuening about the people asking them for invitations. Shen Xuening's words to them were similar to Zhang Qianwen's. She was now more magnanimous and wouldn't hold it against them anymore, but she genuinely didn't want them to come.

……

As the wedding approaches, everyone is busy, including the Shen family and their relatives and friends.

My great-aunt didn't come to City A last time, but this time, as an elder, she was specially invited to come. After being here for a few days, she has really broadened her horizons: "Your Xue Ning married so well. Looking at the magnificent wedding, I have never seen a better wedding in my life."

Grandma Shen couldn't suppress her smile: "Our Xue Ning is destined for greatness, no one else can compare."

My great-aunt agreed wholeheartedly: "Yes, she single-handedly carried all of us to new heights. She truly is a girl with the destiny of a phoenix."

Grandma Shen said, "Before Xue Ning came back, our area was so poor. Now look at us, everyone is rolling in money."

The eldest aunt said with a hint of flattery, "Yes, we relatives and friends have also benefited a lot from this."

Just then, my great-uncle and Grandpa Shen walked over together: "What are you talking about here?"

Auntie quickly replied with a smile, "They say your Xue Ning has the destiny of a phoenix."

Grandpa Shen was pleased to hear this: "Of course."

The eldest uncle chimed in, "Your Xue Ning is truly exceptionally precious; I believe she will only get better in the future."

Grandpa Shen puffed out his chest, looking very proud: "That's for sure. Our Xue Ning is a lucky star. Everyone who's with her benefits from her."

The eldest uncle and aunt nodded together: "That's true."

Liu Juan's voice came over: "Why are you still here? Come on, we're rehearsing." She pointed to the hall as she spoke.

"The rehearsal has started! Let's go take a look!" A large group of relatives and friends gathered in the hall, and soon the hall was filled with people, becoming lively.

The wedding was quite elaborate, after all, it was a Chinese wedding, and every process had its own rules. Qin's mother, with her excellent aesthetic sense, completely replicated the Chinese wedding, with several people involved in the planning, and every detail was done perfectly.

Of course, the process is complicated, and to avoid mistakes, everyone has to rehearse, and do it three times, to make sure it's perfect.

This is the first rehearsal...

Today, no one wore makeup; everyone wore their own clothes. The first rehearsal was to familiarize everyone with the process. It was everyone's first time, and some were still a bit clumsy.

Shen Wenxu and Tao Mian stood together, and Tao Mian whispered to Shen Wenxu, "I dare say you will never find another wedding like my cousin's."

Shen Wenxu said proudly, "That's right, she's my eldest sister, one of a kind, and my brother-in-law dotes on her, so it's perfectly normal for us to have a wedding like this."

Tao Mian gently nudged Shen Wenxu's shoulder: "Hey, did you try on the clothes?"

Shen Wenxu nodded, his eyes sparkling: "I tried it on! It suits my personality perfectly. When I wear it to the wedding, everyone will remember that I am my sister's brother."

Tao Mian said excitedly, "I tried it on too, it looks so good! Young masters in ancient times were really lucky, they had such nice clothes to wear every day."

"If you want to wear clothes like that, you can go to my older cousin. She has so many ancient costumes." He said, glancing at Sun Qiulian standing next to him.

Sun Qiulian looked over: "Sure, you're welcome anytime. I can even do your hair and makeup."

She was pregnant, but it wasn't very obvious yet, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to wear the beautiful ancient costume that her mother had carefully prepared.

The clothes that Qin's mother prepared were definitely not the ones in Sun Qiulian's shop; they were all haute couture, with top-notch fabrics and craftsmanship, things you couldn't even buy.

Liu Haoyu helped Sun Qiulian up and whispered, "I'm so glad I married you, otherwise I'm afraid I would never have been able to come to such a nice place in my entire life."

Sun Qiulian then said jokingly, "Then you should remember my kindness."

Seeing how well her daughter and son-in-law got along, Sun Yun was happy, and her smile grew wider and wider.

Tao Mian wanted to say something, but Tao Yun stopped him: "Pay close attention to the process. If you make a mistake tomorrow, I'll kick you out of the house."

Tao Mian shrank back: "Sis, I've noticed you're getting fiercer."

Tao Yun is now very confident. Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities is a great achievement, and her status at home has risen to the top. Her parents don't dare to say anything to her anymore.

See? A person's status is proportional to their ability. Back then, look how badly Shen Mei bullied Tao Yun.

Shen Mei and Tao San were also present. They heard what Tao Yun said, but they didn't refute a single word.

Tao Mian dared not act recklessly anymore. Besides, he had learned from Shen Wenxu and was no longer as bad as before, which showed the power of a role model.

The eldest aunt looked at Tao Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, you should discipline Tao Mian more and not let him be as naughty as before."

Tao Yun was about to nod when Tao Mian retorted, "Aunt, my sister is already strict enough with me. She can't be any stricter, or I'll suffocate."

My aunt laughed and said, "Just don't be as naughty as before."

Tao Mian tugged at Grandma Shen's hand: "Grandma, save me."

Grandma gently patted Tao Mian's head: "Watch your step and don't be naughty. If you make a mistake at the wedding, I'll teach you a lesson."

Tao Mian quickly straightened his expression, not daring to be distracted, otherwise everyone would hold him accountable.
