A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

"Mom was thinking... since the Jiang family has already paid for it, and Shao Pei is getting married, we can give him this money first. When you get married, I'll pay for the venue. Mom... hasn't saved much money yet, but I feel like I only have one son, and if we have a shabby wedding, it would be a bit embarrassing." Zhang Suran's expression was a little awkward, but she spoke clearly and without any embarrassment.

It seems that seeing the luxury of the Lido Hotel sparked this idea in me.

Shao Wanwan was a little surprised.

She had read the whole book and knew what kind of person Zhang Suran was. He was a bit of a opportunist, but on the surface, he was someone you could get along with.

After all, Zhang Suran was actually quite decent to the original owner of this body. She wasn't her biological daughter, but from the moment she adopted her, she never let her go hungry or cold, nor did she deliberately make things difficult for her.

Although the original owner was sweet-talking and good at getting things done, the main reason was that she managed to win over Shao Pei.

However, Zhang Suran did not actually show so much cunning in the original owner's marriage.

They were very proactive in making arrangements, eager to get the things Shao Guanghua had asked them to do done as soon as possible.

It seems that a single move has far-reaching consequences.

The change in Shao Pei's storyline has even brought out Zhang Suran's true form ahead of schedule.

She has always been like this; whenever it comes to Shao Pei, she always puts aside all dignity and self-respect.

Seeing Shao Wanwan's silence, Zhang Suran felt there was a chance and continued, "The Jiang family is so rich, they can hold their wedding anywhere they want. But you know your brother's shameful ways. If we don't get revenge, people will laugh at us."

“Mom is right. The Jiang family paid for the venue fee, but what about the cost of the banquet? You probably don’t know that a banquet here costs two thousand yuan per table! The relatives on both sides will have to host more than ten tables, which is more than twenty thousand yuan. If you spend the money on the banquet, how will you support Shao Pei’s child in the future?” Shao Wanwan didn’t indulge her and just laid out the money that needed to be spent.

When she heard that it would cost more than 20,000 yuan, Zhang Suran gasped. She really hadn't expected it to cost so much.

"The Jiang family must have already booked the banquet!" Zhang Suran's calculations were quite shrewd.

Shao Wanwan wasn't annoyed and continued, "The venue usage fee is calculated separately, it's 12,000 yuan. This is originally for rich people to hold weddings. They don't care about the cost of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. What about our family? You should think about it! If you insist on holding it here, I can talk to my uncle to reschedule a time for Shao Pei. My uncle knows the owner of this hotel."

Having said all that, even Zhang Suran, with all her thick skin, didn't know what to say.

Moreover, they couldn't stay away from their seats indefinitely.

Zhang Suran could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Mom, I was just asking. I just thought this place was so nice, and I was thinking that if you and your brother could hold your weddings here, our Shao family would be so proud."

Shao Wanwan smiled, pursing her lips.

Upon returning to her seat, Zhang Suran's enthusiasm waned.

“If there are no problems, let’s set the engagement banquet for the tenth day of the first lunar month. That time is also suitable. Everyone has not yet gone back to work, and the New Year’s preparations are over. The date is also auspicious. The tenth day is perfect and has a good meaning.” Jiang Zheyuan’s uncle, who is a businessman, was straightforward. He knew that Jiang Zheyuan had wanted to hold the engagement banquet for a long time and was afraid that if it was delayed, his nephew would have to wait again, so he quickly set a date.

"Shouldn't we get together with your parents to discuss the engagement banquet date?" Zhang Suran suddenly interrupted Jiang Zheyuan's uncle on the phone, then sounded a little impatient.

“Auntie, that’s really the right thing to do. My mother went abroad to study, and my father couldn’t come back from school right now. He’s taking his final exams and can’t get leave, so he asked my uncle to handle it. Don’t worry, they will definitely come to discuss the wedding date with you.” Jiang Zheyuan said respectfully.

Zhang Suran actually knew that her nitpicking was a bit problematic.

It was obvious that she appeared suddenly and then followed.

[

The uncle saw that the elders were there and the children were happy, so they set a date.

An engagement banquet isn't the actual wedding day, so there's not much to say about it.

Since Jiang Zheyuan had said that, Zhang Suran couldn't keep up the pretense any longer. She could only nod and say, "I'll go back and discuss it with the child's father. I'll tell you the date later. After all, it's our daughter's engagement, so we still need to have someone calculate it."

"What caused Auntie's 180-degree turn?" Jiang Zheyuan, Shao Wanwan, and Shao Moli couldn't help but ask in the car on their way back after dropping Zhang Suran off at her hotel.

Shao Wanwan glanced at Shao Moli through the rearview mirror and saw her looking out the window.

Shao Wanwan initially wanted to consider it, but she also felt that it was unnecessary to keep it from Shao Moli. She should know what Zhang Suran was really thinking.

"Mom wants us to give up Lido for Shao Pei's wedding... and she wants the Jiang family to cover the expenses... I told Mom about the expenses at Lido, and she was shocked. She didn't say whether she wanted to hold the wedding there or not. I guess she went back to think about it."

Shao Pei's actions are disgraceful and shameful, especially since he's not even an adult yet! So Mom thought of using this method to regain some face and avoid further embarrassment.

Jiang Zheyuan glanced at Shao Wanwan.

“My uncle has invested in this hotel.” He made the suggestion because he knew the fate of his uncle and his younger uncle, so he guided them in advance to make arrangements so that they wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket and go astray.

He originally wanted his uncle to open a restaurant, preferably a chain restaurant in the future.

However, I also felt that it was necessary to integrate with the marriage and dating market, so that there would be someone to pay for the venue and the restaurant.

The investment in Lido was too large. My uncle had many businesses, and the funds he had left were not enough to take over Lido, so he partnered with a boss who was short of money.

My uncle accounted for 40%.

Then it was proposed to build an attached restaurant.

It's a restaurant that operates normally, a restaurant that can open to the public without holding a wedding. After thinking it over, we finally decided on Cantonese cuisine.

The restaurant had just been leased and hadn't been renovated yet. My uncle wanted him to invest in it as well, since it was his idea.

He said he needed to discuss it with Shao Wanwan, so he hadn't given a definite answer yet.

Having been given a second chance at life, Jiang Zheyuan knows which stocks can make a lot of money.

He threw most of his fortune into the stock market.

I can't spare the money in a short time.

However, if Shao Wanwan wants to invest, he can try to borrow some money from his grandfather and uncle.

He hadn't had a chance to say these things to Shao Wanwan yet.

With Shao Moli present, this is certainly not the time to discuss these matters.

It can only be expressed concisely.

Shao Wanwan was stunned.

In the book, his uncle did not invest in the catering industry.

It seems this was Jiang Zheyuan's idea.

Jiang Zheyuan is very different from the one in the book. He doesn't have such a strong competitive spirit anymore. He has completely stepped back to the sidelines and is supporting the people around him.
