Chapter 570: The Wedding of the Nouveau Riche Qian Youyu

Qian Youyu's wedding ceremony caused a sensation in Suxi Town. The guests alone exceeded a thousand, and the number of luxury cars was countless. High officials, wealthy merchants, local ruffians, and common people all came to support him.

I originally didn't intend to attend, but I couldn't withstand his dozen or so phone calls the day before the wedding, urging me repeatedly that I must attend. Under the circumstances where my attitude was unclear, he even said that it didn't matter if anyone else didn't come, but if I didn't, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

I held the receiver and said, "Old Qian, aren't you afraid of being scolded to death if these words get out?"

Qian Youyu laughed and lowered his voice to tell me, "Little brother, I can say these words to you, and of course, I can say them to others. Don't you think?"

I was overjoyed; since Qian Youyu said such things, he was actually telling me that these words could only be said to me and wouldn't be said to anyone else.

With things at this point, if I didn't agree, I would appear too heartless.

I set out early on the eighth day, rushing from Hengyue City to Suxi Town. After getting off the highway, I saw many luxury cars walking in twos and threes in front, and thought smugly, in this bird-forsaken place of Suxi Town, without me, Old Chen, I'm afraid no birds would come to lay eggs even now.

Most of the cars getting off the highway to Suxi Town were heading to Liu Misi's hot spring resort. Now that the temperature was low, it was the perfect time to soak in the hot springs.

It wasn't until my car arrived in front of Qian Youyu's Suxi Hotel that I realized all the cars coming along this way were here for Qian Youyu's wedding ceremony.

Starting from the entrance to the town, an air arch was erected every twenty meters or so. The bright red air arches were hung with auspicious words congratulating Qian Youyu on his marriage, hydrogen balloons were flying on both sides, and some of the doors were even decorated with fresh flowers. Such a display was even more lively and grand than the Suxi Town relocation celebration back then; such a spectacular scene made me feel a little jealous.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, a girl in a cheongsam immediately came over. She smiled like a flower and signaled me to follow her to sign the guest book.

I sized her up; the slit of her cheongsam was very high, and flesh-colored silk stockings wrapped her round and plump thighs. The cheongsam best outlined a woman's figure, so her high-chested chest, combined with her wasp-like waist, made people almost unwilling to look away.

A long table was placed in the hotel lobby, covered with red cloth, and several luxuriously bound guest books were placed on it.

Several beautiful girls in the same cheongsam stood behind the table, and seeing me come over, they asked me to leave my name with full smiles.

I specifically looked around and didn't find anyone collecting gift money. So I specifically asked the girl who brought me in in a low voice, "Where is the person collecting gift money?"

She looked at me in astonishment, then pursed her lips and smiled, "Our boss doesn't collect gift money."

This time it was my turn to be astonished, and I cursed unhappily in my heart, "Qian Youyu, what the hell are you doing? If you don't collect gift money, does that mean I'm here to eat for free?"

Before I came, Huang Weiwei specifically instructed me to give gift money according to the convention and absolutely not to appear different.

I agreed verbally, but in my heart, I still had plans. Not to mention that Qian Youyu had given me a lot of money over the years, just based on his development and construction of Suxi Town with me, I couldn't be stingy.

The 20,000 yuan in gift money I prepared had nowhere to go, but instead, I received a red envelope handed to me by the etiquette lady after signing my name.

Nouveau riche! I cursed secretly in my heart, found a restroom, went in, and opened the red envelope to see that it actually contained 1,000 yuan.

Nouveau riche! Too much money burned his brain! I was still cursing. I took out my tool to take a pee, pressed the flush toilet, and flushed all the unhappiness in my heart into the sewer.

After washing my hands, I found there were no paper towels to dry them, which made me even more unhappy.

As soon as I walked out with wet hands, I saw Qian Youyu coming toward me, grabbing my wet hands and saying, "Little brother, I knew you would definitely give me face."

I pretended to smile, "Old Qian, do you have so much money now that you have nowhere to spend it?" As I said this, I took out the red envelope and wanted to return it to him.

Qian Youyu paused and asked, "Little brother, what do you mean?"

I said with a smile, "I'm here to drink your wedding wine. If I drink wedding wine, I should give you a gift. But you're giving me a red envelope instead; what do you mean?"

Qian Youyu seemed to understand, let go of my hand, and laughed, "How much money can it be? Isn't it just for face?"

I calculated for him, "According to your current style, there are probably thousands of people coming. One thousand yuan per person, you're giving away one million yuan at once; is it worth it?"

Qian Youyu patted his chest and said, "Little brother, to tell you the truth, this idea was Xuelai's. She has suffered so much grievance by marrying me this time! Her family will all come this time, as well as her past colleagues and friends, so I can't make her lose face. People say that marrying a farmer like me is like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung."

I teased him, "Old Qian, she is indeed a fresh flower. You are not only cow dung, but also old cow dung, almost dried-up cow dung."

Qian Youyu cracked his mouth and smiled, took out a cigarette and handed it to me, "Little brother, whether I am cow dung or not, I know better than anyone. You also understand me. To tell you the truth, in this world, as long as you have money, you can buy anything. Including the love that you young people talk about every day. If you don't have money, let alone love, I'm afraid there isn't even resentment. No woman will be angry for a man without money, because they have nothing to do with each other. For a girl like Xuelai, who is beautiful, capable, and understanding, and has feelings and righteousness for me, Old Qian, even if I go bankrupt, I'm willing; do I care about this little money?"

I said with a smile, "Old Qian, you've found a treasure."

Qian Youyu was overjoyed and said, "Without you, I wouldn't have found this treasure. I still have to thank you, little brother; just based on the fate of Xuelai marrying me, if you need anything from your old brother in the future, just give a shout."

I said with a smile, "I'm not a mouse, why do I have to squeak when I speak?"

Qian Youyu caught a glimpse of the person behind me and said apologetically, "Little brother, you are family, I won't worry about you. I have to go receive guests."

I waved my hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll just walk around."

Suxi Hotel has five floors in total and is the tallest and grandest building in Suxi besides the town government.

I stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and prepared to go upstairs to take a look.

On the top floor of Suxi Hotel, there is a sky garden, planted with some precious flowers, and there is also a rockery on the roof, with streams flowing on the rockery, a pastoral scene.

After going to the roof, the view suddenly opened up, and the entire Suxi Town was in sight.

In the distance is the hot spring resort, without high-rise buildings, the architecture is built against the mountains and by the water. The originally poor Laoyingzui is now in a prosperous state.

Nearby Suxi Town, with four streets crisscrossing, is as neat as a chessboard.

Suxi Town government is in the center of the chessboard, and Suxi Hotel is only one street away from the town government, visible at a glance.

"Good place! Good feng shui!" I sighed, walking around the rockery.

Suddenly a voice sounded behind me, "You're here!"

I was startled, turned my head, and saw Xuelai standing behind me with a smile.

"Old Qian said you were here, so I came to see." She smiled faintly, walked to my side, and a faint fragrance rushed toward me.

I unconsciously took two steps back, and my embarrassed look made her purse her lips and smile, saying, "What's wrong?"

I sized her up and praised sincerely, "Really beautiful! Are all women who become brides particularly beautiful?"

"What do you think?" She tilted her head to look at me, the smile on her face like a pool of spring water, the rippling ripples almost overshadowing the scenery of the rooftop garden.

"Beautiful!" I gave a thumbs up and said, "It's really beautiful!"

Xuelai leaned over a step and asked me softly, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

I shook my head and said, "No."

Xuelai's face seemed a bit disappointed, and she sighed, "Do you think I'm very cheap?"

I hurriedly waved my hands and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? A girl like you, it's too late to love, who would scold you."

She smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? If you loved me, why weren't you willing to make me your harem when I was in Suxi Town?"

I didn't expect her to suddenly ask such a question, which made me embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, I said, "Xuelai, from the first day I met you, I knew you belonged to someone else. We are just a pair of guests in life. Many things are more beautiful to lose than to get."

"I married Old Qian, didn't you scold me for being cheap in your heart?" Xuelai looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "If you think I shouldn't marry him, I'll announce the cancellation of the wedding now."

I was startled and waved my hands frantically, "Don't make such jokes. Besides, it's great that you married Old Qian! I feel very secure in my heart. Because I think Old Qian is someone worth entrusting for life."

Xuelai sighed faintly and said, "Actually, I think I'm really cheap! Yue Bai wasn't willing to marry Old Qian, but I became a substitute; what kind of person am I? Did I fancy Old Qian's money, or am I betting against someone? I thought a lot, and finally, I decided, just like you said, as long as he treats me well, I will definitely not let him be sad."

I laughed, reached out and picked a small flower, and said, "Come, I'll help you put it on your head. A bride wearing a flower has a different kind of charm!"

Xuelai refused my request, took the flower from my hand, put it on her hair bun herself, looked at herself, and asked me, "Does it look good?"

"Looks good!"

"As long as it looks good! I want Old Qian to know that he will never regret marrying me."

Xuelai walked a few steps and said, "I have to go down and put on makeup. In three hours, I have to go on stage for the wedding."

She didn't wait for me to speak and drifted away.

I stood on the roof, hiding my body in a piece of green, feeling a thousand emotions.

The road in front of Suxi Hotel had been blocked, and stages were set up at both ends of the street. One end was singing Huagu opera, and the other end was singing modern songs and dances.

The whole street was dazzling with songs and dances, and the gongs and drums were deafening. Fireworks were set off row by row, illuminating the sky of Suxi Town, making it look incomparably magnificent and colorful.

What kind of plane is this nouveau riche Qian playing? I laughed dumbly.

I finished a cigarette and prepared to go downstairs to return to Hengyue City. I wouldn't attend the banquet; people came, and I had already given him great face.

Just as I got to the entrance, I saw Secretary Liu Qimeng and County Magistrate Yu coming toward me. ===== CHAPTER 571 =====
