Chapter 119: Other People's Brides Are the Most Beautiful
Zhang Xiaoli opened her mouth to ask for 500,000; in the past, Xie Fenglan would never have agreed, even if it killed her.
But now, she agreed so readily, for no other reason than that phrase: "To treat Xiaojun's illness."
Her son was the apple of her eye; she was willing to spend any amount of money to treat her son's illness!
With these two matters settled and seeing that this daughter-in-law was no longer mentioning divorce, the Zhou Family was naturally overjoyed.
In their view, Zhang Xiaoli was an orphan without parents, and marrying into their Zhou Family was naturally the same as being sold to them; the money and house given to her were actually just moving from the left hand to the right, and in the end, it still belonged to the Zhou Family.
Therefore, when Zhang Xiaoli proposed going to purchase some wedding attire, Xie Fenglan very readily gave her 100,000 yuan on the spot.
Fearing that a long delay would lead to trouble, the Zhou Family decided immediately to hold the wedding for the two of them this very weekend!
Over the next few days, the Zhou Family was busy preparing for the wedding, and Zhang Xiaoli was not idle either; she went around to wedding dress shops and jewelry stores, buying things the whole way. Xiaojun, who accompanied her the entire time, watched the speed at which she spent money, his face full of heartache!
Not to mention anything else, a single wedding dress alone cost 99,800! The 100,000 yuan Xie Fenglan had given her was gone before it even warmed up.
Then there were various wedding expenses, and she chose the best for everything; the cost of booking the wedding banquet alone was over 300,000!
Of course, Zhang Xiaoli would not pay this money; it was definitely all to be paid by the Zhou Family.
To coax this daughter-in-law who came with a luxury car and a huge sum of money, the Zhou Family could be said to have spent a fortune, satisfying every request Zhang Xiaoli made. By this calculation, a single wedding would cost at least 600,000 to 700,000!
The Zhou Family's extravagance left relatives and friends both shocked and envious. Over these two days, Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan had heard no shortage of compliments from relatives and friends, which made them very proud. Xie Fenglan told everyone she met that her daughter-in-law was incredible, a CEO of a large company with an annual income of several million; after saying it so much, even she believed it herself.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.
Early in the morning, the Zhou Family began to get busy in the new home.
The new home for Xiaojun's wedding was located in a residential compound in the old city district. Due to its age, the buildings were of the old-fashioned six-plus-one structure, with no elevators.
The area of the house was also not large, only eighty-some square meters, a two-bedroom apartment. This house was what Zhou Yue had received when she divorced Lin Dazhi back then.
Zhou Yue and the relatives of the family worked together to decorate the house. Looking at this house she had once lived in, which had now become her younger brother's wedding room, she felt a very strange sensation in her heart.
Although she had remarried, her husband had been sent to prison. Although she could live at Liu Haibo's place, she had rarely gone over during this period because she dared not live alone; she always felt that house was uncomfortable.
She was not used to living at her parents' house either; after all, she had grown accustomed to living in the big house at Shangcheng Huafu with Lin Dazhi.
Therefore, even though she found Lin Dazhi an eyesore, she had moved back to the house at Shangcheng Huafu during this time. Although living there meant facing the inconvenience of Lin Dazhi bringing women home at any time, compared to the inconvenience of living in the old house, she endured it.
"Zhou Yue, pass me that ribbon; I think it looks better hanging over here!" Sun Xiaomei said to Zhou Yue while standing on a stool, looking down from above.
"Oh, here you go." Zhou Yue said, while finding the ribbon in the plastic bag and handing it over.
Looking at Sun Xiaomei, who was covered in pearls and jewels and possessed an elegant and graceful temperament, Zhou Yue felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
Sun Xiaomei had now become a Vice Principal at Seventh Middle School and had moved into the administrative building to work; the two of them met much less frequently than before.
Two days ago, when the school held a meeting, Zhou Yue saw her sitting on the rostrum, speaking earnestly with a manuscript in her hand; at that moment, she only felt so jealous she could go crazy!
They were both ordinary teachers and good sisters who played together, so by what right did you suddenly become a school leader?
Moreover, what Zhou Yue found most difficult to accept was that Sun Xiaomei said this Vice Principal position was something Lin Dazhi had helped her maneuver!
How could Lin Dazhi have such ability? Besides, even if he really had such ability, he should have maneuvered her to be Vice Principal; by what right was it Sun Xiaomei?
Had she been his wife for five years, only to be inferior to this little vixen?
Zhou Yue hated Lin Dazhi to death in her heart, but she hated Sun Xiaomei even more!
In her view, even if Lin Dazhi had divorced her, he should still be a dog she could summon at any time! But now, this dog was disobedient, and he had even gotten together with her best friend; this was simply unacceptable!
However, a woman's mind is just so strange; clearly hating someone to death in her heart, yet when Sun Xiaomei and Bai Weiwei came over to help her manage her brother's wedding, the women were actually able to maintain harmony on the surface.
"Zhou Yue, we're leaving in a while. Call Xiaoli and ask how things are going on her end?" Xie Fenglan, wearing a bright red wedding dress, entered the new room and urged her anxiously.
"Okay, I'll call now."
Zhou Yue said, taking out her phone and beginning to dial Zhang Xiaoli's number.
At the same time, inside the Jinhui Building, in the president's office of the newly established New World Company, Zhang Xiaoli, wearing a pure white wedding dress, was facing a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, examining the makeup meticulously applied by a top-tier makeup team.
"Brother-in-law, do I look good today?" Zhang Xiaoli gently twisted her swan-like elegant neck and said playfully to Lin Dazhi behind her.
Lin Dazhi held her slender waist with both hands, letting her sit in his arms, sniffing the charming scent of top-tier perfume coming from her body, and said with a smile, "The bride is naturally beautiful."
"No, brother-in-law, you should say, 'Other people's brides are the most beautiful.'" Zhang Xiaoli said with a giggle.
The phone rang.
Zhang Xiaoli picked up the phone and answered it right in front of Lin Dazhi.
"Hello? Sister~~ I'm fine, I'm at the company~~~, prepared? I'm all pre~~pared, mm-hmm, I'm not uncomfortable, it's just that my stomach is a bit bloated, maybe~~~ maybe it's because I ate something a bit hard, no~~~ ah, I'm fine, I have a professional team here, there's nothing that needs~~ ah needs to be worried about, you guys can just come directly, there are people at the door~~ wai~~waiting, uh uh uh~~~"
Lin Dazhi held her gently, listening to her playfully playing with the gun while on the phone, and couldn't help but feel a bit amused.
This tormenting little enchantress, always full of tricks!
But he liked it!
"Alright, you're getting married in a while, look at the state you're in." After a while, when Lin Dazhi felt she had messed around enough, he forcibly used both hands to pinch her waist, took her off his body and put her on the ground, and said with a serious face.
The latter let out a burst of giggles, her love dripping and scattering onto the floor beneath them...
