Mu Beiyao raised her chin defiantly and said, "You can't take this thing out; it's merely for collection, to add value! Over time, its worth will only increase. During this period, you must take good care of it! Otherwise, it might not stay in my hands!"
Though she spoke like this, it was a gesture of friendship that Su Xing could absolutely understand. He felt a surge of emotion. Meanwhile, the other two friends each pulled out their own treasures, which were equally astonishing in value.
Lu Xiangyi had somehow managed to acquire a pair of jade Ruyi! Their worth was likely on par with Mu Beiyao's item. "You don't want to arrange a marriage for us, do you? Should I keep this safe too?" Su Xing suddenly felt overwhelmed by the pressure!
Then there was Qin Bing, whose family didn't possess the same advantages as these two women. However, he was prepared to present something substantial: shares in his newly opened law firm partnership. "Continuous dividends! Permanent consultant! Consider it a return on your investment in me!" The lawyer remained calm, but Qin Bing was anything but composed in front of his friends.
Su Xing felt that each of these gifts was like a hot potato; he had no choice but to accept them! After all, they represented the friendship and love between them. "You women are either trying to make me cry or confuse me. None of you are married yet; what do you expect me to gift you later? I’ll have to waste a lot of brain cells on that!"
Su Xing realized the reality of the situation, which made Mu Beiyao become even more haughty: "Sister's gifts—if you're not prepared, don't blame me for not letting you attend the wedding!"
"Such a toxic friend!" Su Xing retorted.
"Kids! Let’s have breakfast first; the makeup artist is on her way." He Xiaoqing surprisingly looked well put together, except for one thing—dark circles under her eyes were evident.
Su Xing had no doubt that his mother had probably slept worse than he did last night. "Mom! Make sure the makeup artist covers those dark circles well! You were up late last night listening to Shen Jingyu sing to you! How could you?"
With this revelation about last night’s events, her dark circles were now on full display like a panda's.
Lu Xiangyi teased, "Had I known you could be such a night owl, I would have taken you out last night! Listening to the groom sing at home alone is so boring! Why not go out and see if there are any handsome guys around?"
Su Xing rolled his eyes. "Oh please! Your Rong Xigu will be here soon! You wouldn’t want to explain what ‘handsome guy’ means to him, would you?"
Lu Xiangyi dared not say another word.
In the end, Su Xing instructed the makeup artist to cover his mother’s dark circles as well. Otherwise, they would both look like two pandas—quite the spectacle!
Mu Beiyao stayed by Su Xing's side, chatting and laughing with her. Just then, they spotted Shen Jingyu's convoy approaching.
Three Rolls Royces led the way, followed by an array of Land Rovers, Benzes, and BMWs—each one exuding understated luxury while vying for attention. However, as each car came to a stop and tall, handsome men stepped out, gasps echoed throughout the alley!
What kind of divine beauty is this? Each one of them could rival movie stars!
However, they were unaware that today was Shen Jingyu's home ground. Many had not yet donned their military uniforms; otherwise, there would surely be young girls fainting on the spot!
Su Xing was dressed in a bright red wedding gown. Sitting in the center of the small bed, she could see Shen Jingyu's tall and handsome figure through the window. Leading the group behind him were others, each exuding a strong aura of youthful vigor.
Inside the room, the women could only see the one they longed for in their hearts.
Shen Jingyu had to pass through three doors.
Outside the first courtyard, He Xiaoqing, who doted on her son-in-law, immediately opened the door upon hearing a cheerful call of "Mom, please open the door!" welcoming everyone inside.
At the same time, a thick red envelope was stuffed into Shen Jingyu's hands.
With a smile on his lips, Shen Jingyu thanked her! This scene was captured by the photographer who followed closely behind, adding a humorous touch and creating a memorable moment!
When Shen Jingyu entered, he did not initially notice Su Bokan. After searching around, he finally spotted Su Bokan sitting in a wheelchair in a corner. He walked over formally and greeted him with "Dad!"
Su Bokan looked pleased as well. He had hoped that today’s event wouldn’t affect his daughter’s image, but he hadn’t expected Shen Jingyu to be so considerate. Not only did he acknowledge him, but he also maintained a respectful demeanor.
Su Bokan then took out another thick red envelope and handed it to Shen Jingyu.
Su Xing watched this through the window from inside the room, unable to suppress her smile.
As Shen Jingyu was about to enter, Su Xing’s head was covered with a veil that obscured her face.
The second door was relatively simple; it consisted of some children. The youngest among them was Su He’s little princess, who was held in Du Meng’s arms. She merely blew two bubbles at her uncle and waved her hand before receiving an ultra-thin red envelope—presumably a check.
As for the other children, they were being prepared by Mu Beiming behind Shen Jingyu.
Yes, Mu Beiming had unfortunately appeared again! Moreover, today as he came to escort the bride, someone from an esteemed family unexpectedly jumped into his car—Shen Tian Er!
During his brother's wedding as well as that of his future brother-in-law Da Jiu, Mu Beiming couldn’t afford to be distracted for even a moment. So for now, he decided to keep his distance from Shen Tian Er!
The second door passed by effortlessly!
Now there remained only the final door—the most crucial one—where only Mu Beiyao stood. That alone was enough to give Shen Jingyu quite a challenge!
Not to mention adding another formidable presence—Little Heiress Lu Xiangyi!
At this moment, one would witness Rong Xigu's mastery in handling his wife. Lu Xiangyi would not yield an inch; she absolutely wouldn’t listen to Rong Xigu!
Although Lu Xiangzhuang wasn’t serving as a groomsman, he had come along for the bride escorting and certainly had his own strategies for dealing with Mu Beiyao, his future daughter-in-law!
Mu Beiyao asked, "What is Su Xing's favorite brand?"
Shen Jingyu replied smoothly, "It's Starry Convergence."
Lu Xiangyi then inquired, "What outdoor activity does Sister Xing enjoy the most?"
"Self-driving trips! Because there's no walking involved!" Su Xing chimed in. She also disliked any strenuous or thrilling activities!
This question was definitely thought up by Lu Xiangyi; she had once forced Su Xing to join her in numerous adrenaline-pumping activities.
Su Xing had never participated willingly; that girl had a silver tongue and always managed to persuade her to join in!
"Did I get it right? I didn't give anything away, did I?" Lu Xiangyi looked at Su Xing with confusion. Had all her efforts over the past few years in understanding Su Xing been in vain?
