Chapter 207: Did she actually marry into the richest family?
Geng Tianhao looked angrily at his daughter Geng Yu Er: "You girl, what are you saying so properly……"
The richest person in Wuxingguo is Geng Yu Er's idol; Geng Tianhao knows this, and Geng Yu Er likes to talk about her idol when she has nothing to do, so he thought his daughter was about to continue talking about her idol.
Geng Tianhao was about to scold his daughter, but having spoken only half of his words, he realized the meaning behind his daughter's words, and the words that had reached his mouth were swallowed back in surprise.
"Xiao Ming?" Geng Tianhao looked at Xiao Ming in disbelief.
He looked around like a monk who is eight feet tall, at this high-end hotel, and at the future in-laws before him who seemed extraordinary.
Geng Tianhao was so surprised he couldn't speak.
His daughter Geng Yu Er noticed his doubt and handed him the photo on her phone.
Geng Tianhao looked at the photo, then looked again at Xiao Ming in front of him.
Good heavens!
His niece's in-laws actually turned out to be the richest family?
Geng Tianhao stepped back half a step in surprise.
The other relatives were all stunned as well.
Geng Tianhua knew this couldn't be hidden; he glanced at Xiao Ming, seeing that Xiao Ming showed no displeasure, he concealed his inner pride, stepped forward and said to his relatives: "I was planning to tell you this when the banquet started, but I didn't expect Yu Er to have already recognized him, so now I will formally introduce him to you."
"This is the father of my son-in-law Xiao Yunzhe, the richest person in Wuxingguo, Xiao Ming."
After Geng Tianhua finished the introduction, everyone stood frozen in place; they remained silent for two full minutes, then everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Good heavens, Jing Shu actually married into the richest family?"
Someone exclaimed in amazement.
And although Geng Yu Er was the first to recognize Xiao Ming, when she really got confirmation from her uncle's mouth, she still couldn't contain her inner excitement and cried out: "Good heavens, the richest? You are my idol?"
Geng Yu Er's exclamation made the dazed group instantly snap back to their senses.
Basically all the young people present had seen news of Xiao Ming online, and they admired this man to the utmost.
No one expected to see this prominent figure in such a setting today.
"Good fellow, Jing Shu's future husband is actually a young master from the richest family, which means she will become the young mistress of the richest family."
"My goodness, this envy is unbearable; did I burn high incense in my past life?"
Some of the older elders had also heard a bit about Xiao Ming from their children's mouths, and they never imagined that their niece Geng Jing Shu would actually marry into such a wealthy family.
That is the richest person, after all?
They were all born into ordinary families; the distance to the richest person is as far as eighty thousand miles, and they never imagined—never even dreamed—that the richest person would actually appear before their eyes, let alone become involved in their lives.
Originally, Geng Tianhao and the others—some ran small businesses, some held important positions—had always thought their families were fine, while their niece Geng Jing Shu had been a child who made the elders proud since childhood.
They previously thought that if anyone married their Geng family's Geng Jing Shu, it would be a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes.
Only now did they realize that compared to the richest person, they amounted to nothing.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming stepped forward, spoke calmly: "We're all our own people; what's there about being rich or not? Come on, let's go inside."
The Xiao family people politely invited the Geng family into the hotel, into a super luxurious private room.
Seeing Xiao Ming's attitude so gentle, with not a trace of the richest person's arrogance, the Geng family's inner pressure lessened considerably, and they gradually relaxed.
But just as everyone had finally managed to calm down, upon seeing the facilities in the private room, they became unsettled again.
Only see the table in the private room can seat forty or fifty people; the high-end decoration, under the bright lights, looks even more like a palace, simply too dazzling.
"Good heavens!" Geng Tianhua's younger brother, Geng Tianzhong, couldn't help but exclaim.
Our Geng family actually ended up forming a connection with the richest person?
Good heavens, from now on our Geng family might be heading for the pinnacle of life?
Without saying anything else, just based on the fact that they are relatives of the richest family, stepping out, their status could be several times higher than before; as for other career developments, there's no need to mention.
How well must their ancestral graves be buried for the Geng family to have such fortune?
After everyone sat down, Xiao Ming chatted with everyone in a very easygoing manner.
After the dishes were all served, the engagement officiant invited by the Xiao family formally began discussing the engagement matters.
An engagement ceremony is actually just a large family gathering, but Xiao Ming didn't want to wrong his daughter-in-law, so he made everything as good as possible, even making the engagement ceremony very formal.
After the female host introduced the identities of the two newcomers, she first had the two newcomers greet everyone, and then it was time for Xiao Ming, as the head of the male side's family, to appear.
Xiao Ming first expressed his blessings to the two newcomers, then thanked his parents-in-law, Geng Tianhua and Sun Xuehua, basically meaning he thanked them for raising such a good daughter and giving her to Xiao Yunzhe.
At the same time, he also stated his position: after Geng Jing Shu enters the family, he will treat his daughter-in-law as his own daughter.
Next came the betrothal gifts.
The female host, with a proper smile, waved her hand, and several attendants carrying trays covered with red cloth walked up.
"Next, I will read out the betrothal gift list that the Xiao family has prepared for Miss Geng Jing Shu."
"The betrothal money is 9,999, and the gold bars are 9,999……"
"Taking the meaning of wishing the two newlyweds long-lasting happiness……"
The Xiao family's move once again astonished everyone.
Moreover, Xiao Ming didn't just say it; he directly had the bodyguards bring the gold bars to the scene, while the betrothal money was a gold card accompanied by a bank-issued balance statement.
There were also a bunch of houses and cars, to be given to the couple after they marry.
Saying this now is meant to let the Geng family's relatives serve as witnesses.
Even Geng Jing Shu, who was used to Xiao Ming's grand gestures, had her eyes reddened from surprise.
She knew Xiao Ming wouldn't shortchange her, but she didn't expect him to give her this much.
Money and material things, in such a situation, carry great significance.
The more given, the more it shows the in-laws value the daughter-in-law and are satisfied with her.
Moreover, Xiao Ming's move also earned the Geng family plenty of face.
"Dad, thank you for your blessings to us."
Dad! Thank you! Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu came before Xiao Ming, expressing their gratitude.
