C823 Feast Invitation
C823 Feast Invitation
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan walked out of the restaurant hand in hand. Since it was just a banquet, they didn't need a groomsman or a bridesmaid to accompany them.
However, even if there was a bridesmaid, she wouldn't be able to join them. They would only be able to see each other, as if they owned the entire world. There was simply no place for other people between them.
The wedding car to the Lu County Hotel was the Sharly they had bought before, without any special decorations. The two of them got on the car, and the captain of security, Liu Jun, also had a part-time driver as he drove them to the Lu County Hotel.
In front, back, and some distance behind the car were several Mercedes-Benz cars, all carrying their security personnel.
This was an era of reckless heroes. It was easy to make a fortune, but it also gave birth to evil thoughts in the minds of some people. If they wanted to obtain something without working hard, then the rule of law would continue to be sound and some people would take risks in order to make a fortune.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan might keep a low profile, but they wouldn't recklessly put their lives in the hands of others. Thus, they still chose to be prudent when it came to travelling with someone to protect.
On the passenger seat of Shi Jiangyuan's wedding car, one of the security personnel drove forward after making sure that it was safe through the walkie-talkie and the security personnel in the front and back of the car.
When they arrived at the Lu County Hotel, the lead car, the Mercedes-Benz, had already entered the hotel. When the Mercedes-Benz entered, the hotel staff thought that the one getting out of the car was the bride and groom; after all, they recognized the logo of the Mercedes-Benz, and knew that it was a luxurious car.
They also knew that the bridegroom and bride who had come to get married today would definitely be rich and lavish their wealth throughout the entire hotel.
But when they saw that it was two young men in suits getting out of the car, they were dumbfounded.
The waiter was hesitating over whether to go up and say hello when an ordinary white Charley slowly drove into the hotel. A handsome young man and woman got out, a bridegroom in a dark blue suit with colorful flowers on his chest, a bride in a long red tweed dress, and a smiling face as beautiful as a flower blooming on a spring day.
The waiters finally understood the identities of the two parties, but they were curious why the other side was acting this way.
In their minds, the bride and groom should have been in a luxury car, right?
"There are so many eccentricities among the rich nowadays!" One of the waiters couldn't help but whisper.
"What do you mean?" the other waiter asked, puzzled.
"Look, such a good car should be taken by a groom and bride. Why would they want to ride in an ordinary Sherry?"
It wasn't strange for the hotel staff to be so confused about this.
"Oh? After hearing what you just said, I also feel that rich people have a lot of weird fetishes." Another waiter also muttered.
According to the rules, Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan naturally stood at the entrance to greet the guests.
When they arrived at the hotel, the waiter placed a tray of sweets, cookies, and cigarettes in their hands, and the two of them took up their duties as doormen for the time being.
Guests slowly came in. Some of them knew each other, some of them not. Luckily, Shi Tao and Cui Huixian also greeted them warmly from the side, introducing them to each other from time to time. This was a colleague from back then, and this was a former classmate.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan revealed sincere smiles, thanking them for coming to the wedding banquet.
Shi Tao's family background was still a mystery among his old colleagues in the Lu County, but his current identity and position was public, so everyone knew that this young man from the capital was now someone that could not be underestimated.
When they received the invitation from Shi Tao for the wedding banquet, their old colleagues from Lu County were all surprised. They never expected that after so many years, Shi Tao still remembered the time they worked together and these people would naturally come to reminisce about the past.
However, what surprised them was that Shi Tao also said that he wouldn't take any part in the transaction, so they couldn't help but marvel at Shi Tao's honesty.
Nowadays, some people, as the heads of important departments, had to make use of the wedding banquet, the full moon banquet, and the one-year banquet as an excuse to ask for a share of the money.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan repeated the procedure from the first time they held the wedding banquet. The two of them stood by the door with sour smiles on their faces. However, this was also a small inconvenience they had to bear during the wedding.
Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying's side couldn't handle it, so Sunn Lanhua happened to pass by the front of the Lu County Hotel.
Sunn Lanhua saw that the hotel's parking lot was full of cars. Some of the cars looked very high class, shining brightly in the sunlight. She couldn't even call out the names of these cars, so she couldn't help but tell Daughter-In-Law:
"Xiaoqing, who is going to get married? So grand? "
Wu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Of course the rich can put on a show. How can they be as shabby as when I was married? It's one thing for him to be poor, but to even marry a sickly person, and consume medicine and make injections every day, he has to spend quite a bit of money! "
When Sunn Lanhua heard this, her heart gave in and she didn't dare to say anything else.
Don't underestimate her in front of Kang Ying. However, in front of Daughter-In-Law, it was as if her life was in her hands. She could only curry favor with her.
Especially after Kang Jun got sick, as she grew older, she considered her future retirement and the care of her grandson, and had no choice but to lower herself to Daughter-In-Law.
What kind of person was Wu Xiaoqing? Seeing that their mother-in-law had given in, they obviously wanted to take advantage of this situation to make things even more difficult. Every day, they would have to ridicule and mock them in order to vent the frustration they had towards their husband's illness.
Whenever this happened, Sunn Lanhua would not even dare to fart and would only try to please them. Now, it was the same, seeing Wu Xiaoqing's dissatisfaction, she would fawn over her and say:
"We're just passing by the market later. Let's go cut two catties of meat. We'll make Red Braised Meat this afternoon."
"Eat, eat, you only know how to eat all day, the price of meat has gone up, do you know that? Kang Jun needs too much money to support his team. It's better to save some money and save it for your grandson to study! "
Wu Xiaohua was infuriated when he heard about the cost of the money.
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Sunn Lanhua touched her flat purse. She also felt that the cost of taking medicine these days was too high. She couldn't imagine what she would do without money.
However, he couldn't just ignore his own son's illness.
Kang Ying originally gave him 200 thousand. Although it seemed like a lot, but Kang Jun's disease was a rich disease that required too much expenditure. In the blink of an eye, he spent 40 thousand yuan.
The remaining 100,000 yuan was only enough for Kang Jun to treat. With this rate of spending, there was no hope for him to get much left.
