Chapter 514: Yao Xing

Yao Xing's granddaughter's wedding, Su Yang definitely had to attend.

Bringing family was just to show closeness, to take his mother and sister out for a bit.

As for how much money to give as a gift and what kind of present to bring, he felt he needed to inquire first.

Back at the Fourteenth Emergency Team, Su Yang asked Liu Mengyun about this.

"Yao Dada's granddaughter, Yao Yun, works in the military logistics department—she's part of the military, and so are you; just follow the military's standard for wedding gifts!"

"How much?"

Liu Mengyun held up one finger: "You're a Major, so a bit more—ten thousand Federal Credits."

"That little?"

Ten thousand Federal Credits was a fortune to ordinary civilians.

But for someone like Su Yang, a Beast Tamer, it was a drop in the ocean.

Just sell one Golden-Rank potential beast egg, and you'd get tens of thousands.

"That's how little it is—it's an internal Southwest Military Department rule, in place for over a hundred years. I know Yao Dada's character—he's not like Vice-Director Ma; he hates flashy displays. Give too much, and he might look down on you!" Liu Mengyun paused, then added, "But you could also ask Captain Zhu and the others; the other thirteen Emergency Teams likely give the same amount."

"You seem to know a lot about this!"

"I know quite a bit about important figures like Yao Dada."

"Then what should I wear?"

"Just wear your uniform. If your family is coming, let them dress up a little, but don't go overboard—no extravagance or grandeur. Simplicity, cleanliness, and neatness win more favor!" Liu Mengyun smiled. "Most people invited by Yao Dada are from the Southwest Military Department—they only care about rank, strength, and battlefield achievements."

"Good!" Su Yang began signing leave forms for his team members. "By the way, are you going?"

"Yao Dada didn't invite me…" Liu Mengyun shrugged helplessly. "We'll see—if my family gets a spot, I might go. But I don't really care."

"Hmm!"

After approving all the leave forms, Su Yang discussed it with Hao Ren—he'd take leave first, then Hao Ren would follow.

Hao Ren readily agreed.

Su Yang then went to find Zhu Xiaoshuang, but she wasn't there; he found Shen Yan instead.

From Shen Yan, Su Yang finally confirmed that all thirteen Emergency Team captains were giving exactly ten thousand Federal Credits.

Back home, Su Yang lay on his bed and couldn't get up.

He slept until evening, when his mother rushed into his bedroom, bursting with excitement and pushing the door open.

"Son, when did you get back?"

Su Yang glanced at his mother from where he lay on the bed: "Not long ago."

"What do you want for dinner tonight?"

"Whatever Mom makes is delicious."

"Alright, I'll go prepare it."

Hearing Zhang Xiuru's footsteps fade away, Su Yang smiled and shifted his position.

At dinner, Su Yang told his mother and sister about attending his superior Yao Xing's granddaughter's wedding.

Zhang Xiuru asked anxiously: "What should you wear? Should we prepare a gift?"

After Su Yang briefly explained what he'd learned, Zhang Xiuru relaxed slightly.

But she was still worried.

Worried she'd embarrass her son.

Zhang Xiuru came from a civilian background, with little exposure, even though Su Yang had risen so high.

Still, she felt a lingering inferiority.

Su Xiao, however, didn't think much about it—she just assumed the wedding would have plenty of delicious food and fun.

She was thrilled!

The next morning at six-thirty, Su Yang's family got up.

Zhang Xiuru dressed up a bit, putting on her favorite outfit.

Su Xiao, with the help of a maid, changed into a pretty dress.

Around seven o'clock, Su Yang's driver arrived.

Su Yang's driver was named Kang Haoguang, assigned to him after the last mission by the Emergency Team.

Soon after, Shen Yan arrived with his wife and children.

Shen Yan stuck his head out the car window and shouted in a loud voice: "Su Yang, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Su Yang and his family got into Kang Haoguang's car.

"Kang Haoguang, follow Shen Captain's car!"

"Yes, Captain Su!"

Over half an hour later, the car pulled into a parking lot.

Shen Yan got out with his wife and children, pointing to the villa decorated with lanterns and red double happiness characters: "That's Yao Dada's house!"

"Oh!"

Shen Yan then introduced his family to Su Yang.

His wife, Wen Ling, was young and beautiful, probably in her twenties.

His younger son, Shen Changming, was six years old.

Su Yang remembered Shen Yan was quite old—around forty or fifty, he thought.

But that was their private matter; Su Yang wouldn't pry.

"Let's go in!"

"Mm!"

Shen Yan led Su Yang toward the Bieshuda, while Wen Ling, with her younger son, began chatting with Zhang Xiuru.

After presenting their credentials, the duty soldiers verified the guest list, and both families entered the villa.

As soon as they entered the villa, a servant came to guide them.

Arriving at the wedding hall, part of the military personnel and their families had already arrived.

Shen Yan brought Su Yang to greet the soldiers; some Su Yang knew, and for those he didn't, Shen Yan introduced them.

Upon hearing Su Yang's name, whether young or elderly, every officer's face broke into a gentle smile.

Su Yang stole a glance back at his mother and sister; Wen Ling had taken them to chat with the other women attending the wedding banquet.

His mother, who had originally been tense, had now fully relaxed, smiling as she chatted with Wen Ling and the others.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing this, Su Yang felt at ease.

Shen Yan whispered, "I know your family moved here recently—I just told Wen Ling to keep an eye on your mother and sister!"

"Thanks then!"

Shen Yan laughed. "It's nothing!"

Many senior figures from the Southwest Military followed, appearing.

Then came a small group of representatives from Wucheng families.

Su Yang also saw Seeing Liu Long.

Soon after, General Qin appeared as the wedding witness.

Yao Xing had invited few guests.

The entire wedding was slightly dull, without any drama.

Of course, no one dared to spoil Qin Qin Pengcheng or Yao Xing's day!

Yao Xing's young granddaughter, veiled in a red veil, had her face hidden.

The groom, however, was truly outstanding—a Gold-Rank Beast Tamer with considerable strength.
