Chen Yu's aura turned icy, completely unlike his gentle demeanor from before.

Even without Shi Tou saying anything, he already knew who it was: "Qiao Qiao, rest here for a while, I'll go out and take care of something."

Shi Tou was about to follow when Chen Yu stopped him, saying, "Stay here."

Li Jiaojiao looked at them curiously, but didn't ask any questions because they weren't very familiar with each other yet.

"Tuotuo, go see what's going on."

"Good host" was utterly helpless. It wanted to say that it and the host had just formed a bond and weren't very familiar with each other.

Chen Yu walked to the reception room prepared for him at the hotel, and sure enough, it was the Xia family father and daughter there.

"Xiaoyu, this is a congratulatory gift your uncle prepared for you," Xia Sheng said with a fawning smile, pointing to the gift.

Xia Pingping simply followed behind him with her head down, so her expression couldn't be seen.

Chen Yu showed no extra expression and said in a calm tone, "Thank you, Uncle Xia."

The words "Uncle Xia" struck Xia Sheng's heart with heavy weight.

Xia Sheng's expression was complicated: "Actually, I still want to hear you call me 'Dad' once."

He had never called himself "Dad," but he had long regarded Chen Yu as his son.

"Uncle Xia, this is where I'm holding my wedding banquet," Chen Yu said coldly, sternly reminding Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng tried to force a smile to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Yes... Uncle wasn't thoughtful enough, my apologies."

Xia Pingping had never seen Xia Sheng bow his head before. But since that incident half a month ago, Xia Sheng had lowered his head to apologize on her behalf.

She didn't think she had done anything wrong; she believed that Xia Sheng and Chen Yu had forced her into that situation.

Xia Sheng is her father, so she can't complain in front of outsiders;

But Chen Yu was different. Xia Pingping said sarcastically, "No wonder he's Boss Chen, he can get a new wife in less than a month."

"Xia Pingping!" Xia Sheng was startled by her words and grabbed her sleeve tightly: "Have you forgotten what you promised when you came here?"

"Hmph, it's just an apology."

Xia Pingping said nonchalantly, "Chen Yu, I'm sorry, it was my fault for being so immature and cheating on you."

Xia Sheng's face went from a flush of shame and indignation to pale in an instant. A feeling of embarrassment rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, enveloping him.

How could you say such a thing!

Xia Sheng already felt guilty towards Chen Yu, and now he was even less able to hold his head high in front of him.

Chen Yu's eyes were cold: "There was no need to apologize in the first place. We're not married, and you didn't cheat on me."

He had originally thought that Chen Yu would be in a good mood on this joyous day, and that it would be easier for him to be forgiven if he brought his daughter to apologize.

Well, Xia Pingping's words have ruined his plans.

Chen Yu's henchmen were so angry they laughed. Was he here to apologize or to cause trouble?

Xia Sheng spoke to them politely at the door before they let him in, and this is what they do?

"Hey, that jerk..."

Just as the younger brother was about to utter a warning, Chen Yu stopped him with a gesture.

"Uncle Xia, let's not have any further contact. I've already given you back the medical expenses from before; thank you for your kindness."

Chen Yu had his younger brother take Xia Sheng's gifts with him when seeing the guest off.

Xia Sheng's lips trembled slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Chen Yu had already run out of patience and turned to leave.

Chen Yu believed that he had done everything he could for Xia Sheng.

The ceiling is adorned with dazzling crystal chandeliers, and the floor is paved with marble. Every detail exudes wealth, making it seem like a completely different world from the drab scene outside the entrance.

Looking at the colorful wedding photo hanging not far away, Xia Pingping felt a surge of jealousy, which repeatedly pounded against her reason.

Unable to bear this stark contrast, she desperately pulled at Xia Sheng, gritting her teeth and saying, "Hurry up and leave! What's so good about coming here to embarrass yourself?"

Xia Sheng looked at her helplessly, let out a breath, and took heavy steps.

When she got married, she only had a dozen or so tables downstairs in the factory's living area. Why should Chen Yu treat her differently?

As I was leaving, some guests came in, and they kept praising me.

Xia Pingping became more and more unwilling as she listened. She would also hold her wedding banquet here in the future, and make it even bigger than Chen Yu's.

Xia Sheng also felt regretful. It wasn't Chen Yu who agreed to marry Xia Pingping; it was Xia Sheng who wanted Chen Yu to marry into the family.

Xia Sheng himself hosted the wedding banquet, and then invited Chen Yu to drink. Chen Yu only became somewhat dazed after more than a dozen people had drunk themselves into oblivion.

Seeing that Chen Yu was not fully conscious, he had someone support him and, in a daze, they held the wedding ceremony at his house.

These days, most weddings involve holding a banquet and inviting relatives for a meal. If the parents approve, then the couple is considered to be together.

He had planned everything perfectly, but he never expected to overlook the marriage certificate;

When Chen Yu finally realized what was happening, he inexplicably had a wife.

Tuotuo relayed what was happening in the meeting room to Li Jiaojiao in real time.

Li Jiaojiao clicked her tongue in amazement, thinking that it was quite impressive that Xia Sheng could tolerate Xia Pingping.

After all that commotion, Chen Yu was no longer in the mood to rest, so he went to the lobby to greet the guests.

Li Mai was with Ma Yan'er at the moment. She wanted to go find her sister, but Ma Yan'er stopped her.

"I know you want to be with your sister, but she's married and has her own family now. Don't bother her too often."

Li Mai's eyes were dull and lifeless, and she didn't respond to Ma Yan'er's words. She was thinking about what her sister had said last night.

Time flew by and evening arrived. The wedding banquet began, with rows of waiters standing in line, carrying delicious dishes and serving them in batches.

The table was laden with delicious food, including hot dishes, cold dishes, and desserts.

The song, dance, acrobatics, and magic show arranged by Chen Yu and his brothers kept everyone entertained.

During this time, Li Jiaojiao ate a few bites of food backstage to fill her stomach.

"Don't take the wrong cup when you're toasting later. The one on the left is for you; it's all tea." Chen Yu was worried that she couldn't drink alcohol, so he specially arranged for tea to replace the wine.

"Okay," Li Jiaojiao nodded. She had never liked drinking, so this arrangement suited her perfectly.

Chen Yu led Li Jiaojiao through the guests, toasting and thanking them at each table.

At each table, someone said a few words of blessing;

Wishing you a long and happy life together, and many children.

Wishing Chen Yu and his bride a happy and fulfilling marriage.

In the evening, Chen Yu also arranged fireworks. At this time, not many people would set off fireworks because they are too expensive; what you burn is not smoke, but money.

"Boom!" The fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.

Everyone got up to watch, and every time the fireworks exploded, the children loudly imitated the sound of the fireworks exploding.

Li Jiaojiao blinked, looking at the dappled lights in the sky. "They're so pretty!"

Chen Yu gently approached and loosely embraced Li Jiaojiao: "It's fine as long as it looks good. If you like it, we can play it again next time."

He sensed it as soon as he got close to Li Jiaojiao, probably because of the white halo.

As long as she got close to Chen Yu, a heartwarming feeling would spread through her entire being.

She was certain this was the one she was looking for, and Li Jiaojiao boldly took Chen Yu's hand and hugged herself.

"You're married and still so timid," Li Jiaojiao deliberately provoked him.
