Chapter 982: A Mere 37 Million
After confirming that they had no weapons on, the guests were allowed to pass through the second checkpoint. They scanned the guests’ wedding invitations to confirm their authenticity.
Needless to say, just to sneak in and network with the prestigious and influential families in Emperor District, some went out of their way to forge fake invitations. However, they were all caught and asked to leave.
The guests’ monetary gifts and presents were sent to the concierge’s department to be registered on the spot. According to the status of the guests and the value of the gifts, there were people whose job was to categorize the guests.
This stirred up a lot of dissatisfaction among some of the guests. After all, some of them attended this wedding to congratulate the couple sincerely since they had known each other for so long. They had never thought of currying favor with the Gu family. Yet, since the gifts they brought were not enough to curry favor, they were assigned to somewhere out of sight.
Today, only the groom, Gu Mingzhe, and a group of groomsmen welcomed the guests. The bride, Zhong Qianqian, and a group of bridesmaids stayed in the presidential suite in the hotel.
Zhong Qianqian was dressed so beautifully today that her beauty mesmerized Jiang Shuwan. She had never seen her own daughter dressed up so beautifully.
“Gosh, Qianqian, you’re so beautiful! When other women get married, they only wear a wedding dress looking like their normal self. Yet, you’re truly meant to wear a wedding dress. You have no idea how beautiful you look in a wedding dress!”
Zhong Qianqian was also happy to hear Jiang Shuwan’s praises. “Really?”
Jiang Shuwan nodded strongly. “Yes!”
Huang Yuhan could not stand listening to them anymore. She held Zhong Qianqian’s hand with a smile and said to Jiang Shuwan, “Of course Sis Qianqian is beautiful. She’s always been beautiful. My mother ordered this custom-made wedding dress for Sis Qianqian by hiring Vivian, a renowned wedding gown designer. Other women may only wear wedding dresses that cost less than a thousand at the minimum, and maybe wedding dresses that cost more than a few hundred thousand. Even if a young lady from a wealthy family gets married, their wedding gowns will only cost less than three million yuan. However, Sis Qianqian’s wedding gown costs 37 million, and there are 108 diamonds on it!”
The socialites and bridesmaids invited by the Huang family were all extremely envious. They felt that if they put the wedding gown on themselves, they would be many times more beautiful than Zhong Qianqian.
However, when in the presence of Zhong Qianqian, who was now considered the top socialite of Camino, nobody dared to show their dissatisfaction on their faces at all. Even Huang Yuhan, who had such a bad temper, treated Zhong Qianqian like Buddha the whole time, did she not? She herself was willing to be fangirling over a woman who had nothing to her name. She truly went all out on this one.
“Wow, really? No wonder this wedding dress is so beautiful and expensive!”
“Qianqian, you’re so lucky. The Gu family and the Huang family are both so good. You’re so lucky to have married into the family!” This compliment not only praised Zhong Qianqian, but also the Gu family and the Huang family.
However, Zhong Qianqian was unhappy.
“It’s a wedding dress that costs a mere 37 million. I heard that my younger sister’s gown was worth more than 70 million.”
Zhong Qianqian was still brooding over this matter.
She had been face-smacked at the auction last time, and she had always wanted to make a comeback.
Now that she was the granddaughter of the Nangong family, think about all the benefits that she would bring to the Gu and Huang family in the future! Yet, they actually dared to dismiss her with a wedding dress that cost 37 million. She had been unhappy about that.
“Tsk tsk, look at how arrogant you are! A mere 37 million! If you think you’re that great, why didn’t you ask your mother to fork out this sum of money? Why didn’t you let the Nangong family fork out this sum of money? You even claimed to be the little princess of the Nangong family. Did the Nangong family give you a single cent for your wedding?”
