Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date

The wedding ended at noon, but even so, Zhou Chen and Guan Juer felt very tired.

Neither of them is the kind of person who can deal with everyone, so it is inevitable that they feel a little tired when dealing with guests.

In the afternoon, Andy and Qiu Yingying took Qu Xiaoxiao around the imperial capital and took in the scenery.

When he came back in the evening, Zhou Chen told Andy, "Andy, Guan Guan and I are going to her hometown early tomorrow morning, where the Guan family will hold a banquet.

After you have had enough fun in the capital, let’s go back to the Magic City together. Guan Guan and I will not accompany you back.

As for the photos taken yesterday, they have just been sent by the wedding company. You can take a look at them. If you like any of them, you can take them back to Shanghai.

As for the other wedding photos, I plan to keep them in my villa in the capital to avoid any disturbance later."

Obviously, Zhou Chen was a little worried. In his opinion, the imperial capital was his home, and the magic city was just a temporary residence. It was better not to be too ostentatious about some things.

Guan's father and mother will come to Shanghai to see Guan Juer, but they will not go to Beijing to look for Guan Juer unless there is something important. Therefore, it is not safe to keep those photos in Shanghai.

After all, they took more than just wedding photos of Guan Juer and Zhou Chen, they also took photos of Qiu Yingying who came to join in the fun.

If Guan's mother saw the photos of Zhou Chen and Qiu Yingying, their relationship would be exposed, and she would definitely be furious.

Andy and Qiu Yingying expressed their understanding of Zhou Chen's proposal. They were not planning to stay in the imperial capital for long. It was a rare opportunity for Qu Xiaoxiao to come over, so as hosts, they had to help Zhou Chen entertain Qu Xiaoxiao.

The next morning, Zhou Chen and Guan Juer boarded a plane to Wuxi. When they arrived there, they did not go to Guan Juer's home first, but went to the Xingchen Group's shopping mall in Wuxi.

I learned from the person in charge of the shopping mall that the hotel for the wedding has been booked, and the shopping mall has already taken care of all the other gifts and figurines. Now we are just waiting for Guan's mother to provide the guest list with the number of people to calculate the gift packages and reserved tables needed.

Everything was arranged in just two days, and Zhou Chen and Guan Juer could get married at any time. As for the total cost of these arrangements, it was only more than 200,000 yuan, which immediately left Zhou Chen speechless.

Zhou Chen gave them a budget of 20 million for their wedding, but he only spent 200,000. Mother Guan is really good at saving money for herself.

After looking at the price list, Zhou Chen finally understood the reason. It turned out that Guan's mother did not choose a local five-star hotel to hold the wedding. They only booked a three-star hotel.

The cost of each table of food is only more than 2,000 yuan. Even if the banquet is arranged according to the budget of more than 30 tables, it will only be more than 70,000 yuan.

Adding the cost of renting the hotel venue, various on-site decorations, and the expenses of the wedding company, the total cost was only more than 200,000 yuan.

The most expensive item was the gift figurines prepared by the Xingchen Group shopping mall. Isn't this wedding a little too simple?

"Mr. Zhou, all of this was arranged by Madam Guan, and we are just cooperating with her. If you are not satisfied, you can reschedule it now.

You can choose any five-star hotel and redecorate the venue tonight. The eldest son of the Xingchen Group must be getting married in a grand manner. The current setting is indeed a bit sparse."

Before Zhou Chen could say anything in response to the mall manager's words, Guan Juer quickly said, "Zhou Chen, don't bother with that. I think this is great.

The consumption here is not as high as in the capital, and I am just an ordinary person. If things are too good, I will feel uncomfortable.

My father is also an official in the local area. Apart from relatives at home, the other guests are either my mother's colleagues or my father's colleagues. It is indeed not appropriate to be too high-profile.

Since my mother has her own reasons for making this arrangement, we should stay out of it."

Zhou Chen thought about it and didn't refute. Since he decided to let his mother-in-law handle it, he would let her do as she wished. As long as they were satisfied, his intentions were already conveyed.

However, since the 20 million wedding budget had not been spent, it could only be made up from other sources. Zhou Chen then took Guan Juer for a walk in the mall, with the purpose of buying gifts of course.

After everything was ready, they set off for Guan Juer's home. The atmosphere was as if they were giving gifts during the New Year.

Seeing luxury cars parked in front of Guan Juer's house immediately attracted the attention of many people. Seeing Guan Juer getting out of the car, the neighbors immediately greeted her.

"Xiao Guan, I heard you're getting married. It's going to be quite a big deal."

Guan Juer nodded, then politely said that she would treat them to wedding candy tomorrow, and then took Zhou Chen and his group home.

When Guan's mother saw Guan Juer and Zhou Chen coming, they were very happy. However, when they saw the crowd of people giving gifts behind them, Guan's mother and father immediately frowned.

Zhou Chen was the first to say politely, "Mom and Dad, we originally planned a 20 million yuan wedding budget, but I didn't expect you to only spend a little over 200,000 yuan. This is really unacceptable.

But since you have made the decision, we cannot object, so we will use the remaining budget to buy gifts and hope you can accept them.

In the capital, there's a tradition of giving betrothal gifts, but now in Wuxi, we have to say that giving money is a bit too vulgar, so I've prepared some luxury goods for you."

Zhou Chen clapped his hands, and the person in charge of the mall quickly brought people to present gifts. When they opened them, they found that they were all jade jewelry and the like, each of which was very valuable.

"Mom, this pearl necklace is for you. There is also a jade bracelet here. I hope you like it.

There are also various watches, all of which are mid-to-high-end luxury goods, and you can choose any of them.

Dad, here is another painting by Tang Bohu. I bought it at the auction house last time. According to the current market price, it is worth at least 30 million. I hope you like it.

As for your claim of not being too high-profile, I have absolutely no problem with that. I am your son-in-law, and the gifts I gave you are a token of my filial respect, not bribery. These things are fully documented, so you don't have to worry."

At this time, Guan's father and mother were dumbfounded. Looking at the various jewelry in front of them, they even saw Zhou Chen give them a painting by Tang Bohu worth 30 million yuan. This could no longer be described as high-profile.

Zhou Chen, aren’t you exaggerating a bit too much? Even if you dare to give it to us, we dare not accept it.

Father Guan and Mother Guan looked at each other and quickly refused, "Xiaochen, we have received your kindness, but we really can't accept it."

Guan Juer also felt that it was not right to spend so much money. In her opinion, as long as the thought was there, it was fine.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen had his own plans and he did not listen to Guan Juer's advice at all, because this represented Zhou Chen's feelings for Guan Juer.

The two sides argued for a while, and finally it was Guan's father who spoke up to ease the atmosphere.

"Xiaochen, we have received your kindness. Please leave these items with us first. You and Guanguan can take them back after the wedding.

You also know that we only have one daughter, Guan Guan. Even if we leave them at home, we will eventually give them to Guan Guan. When you return to Shanghai, you should take these with you.

Well, to be frank, we can't sleep peacefully at home. You should stop causing us two old people trouble."

This statement was agreed by Guan's mother. They were the director of an idle department and a senior executive of a bank. They really couldn't sleep or eat well with these gold, silver and jewelry kept at home.

If someone really reports it, even if they explain it clearly, it will probably be very troublesome.

In the end, Zhou Chen did not object to what his parents said. As he said, he had already expressed his feelings, and if they didn't want it, it was not his problem.
