Chapter 242 - My 500,000 USD Wife
Chapter 242: My 500,000 USD Wife
The news of Fang Yusheng being injured and hospitalized spread very quickly.
At that moment, everyone who had received the wedding invitation felt that the marriage could not proceed on time and that it had to be postponed. However, that night, they received a message.
The content of the message was as follows:
Hello, I’m Fang Yusheng. Due to my injury, I’m currently in the hospital and can’t call everyone to inform them. Hence, this message is for the group.
Please forgive me if I’ve neglected you.
My wedding with my lover, Qi Yunsheng, will be held on the top floor of the Empire Hotel on August 29, 20XX.
Now, everyone has to follow some specially made rules regarding the dress requirements for the wedding:
1. Ladies who are attending the wedding, please do not wear white, pink, or sapphire blue dresses. (A friendly reminder: If you wear these dresses and collide with the bride, you will be crushed by the bride’s beauty and strength. If your fragile heart is hurt, we will not be held responsible.)
2. All men who are attending the wedding must not wear white or sapphire blue suits. (A friendly reminder: Those who are not afraid of clashing colors with me can ignore this rule.)
The other rules are as follows:
1. When the wedding ceremony officially begins, all friends only have to do four things: Put down your phone, stay quiet, look up, and welcome the bride with stunning eyes.
2. After exchanging rings, when the husband and wife kiss, please give the most enthusiastic applause.
3. Forcing and coercing one to drink are prohibited at the banquet table.
The rules of the bridal chamber are as follows:
1. No one, regardless of their gender, is allowed to offend the bride or the bridesmaid. (A friendly reminder: Please control your mouth and hands. If you can’t, then don’t come.)
2. Since the bride is pregnant, it’s inconvenient for her to tire herself out. A small commotion may help to build relationships, but big commotions will be reported to the police.
Finally, I welcome everyone to my wedding with my lover, Qi Yunsheng.
After receiving the message, everyone’s expressions were complicated.
When they read it, everyone had a deeper understanding of Fang Yusheng.
Domineering, willful, arrogant, and narcissistic!
When Ji Qing read the message, she wanted to laugh. However, she could not. Shaking her head at Qiao Sen, she helplessly said, “It seems like we have to pick another gown.” Coincidentally, Ji Qing had planned to wear a sapphire blue gown on that day, and Qiao Sen had also planned to wear a white suit.
Qiao Sen took the phone and glanced at the message. He frowned and said, “What’s this? He has so many requests.”
Ji Qing chuckled. “This person is quite interesting.”
“I want to wear a white suit!” Qiao Sen refused to believe it.
Ji Qing looked at Qiao Sen up and down a few times. Finally, she said to him in a slightly careful tone, “You’d better change your color. If there’s no comparison, there won’t be any harm.”
Qiao Sen was speechless.
When Fang Mu saw the message, he became unhappy.
Fang Yusheng is about to die, yet he’s still in the mood for a wedding.
Fang Mu had failed this time, and it would not be easy to find another opportunity. Fang Mu pulled off his tie and leaned against the sofa, thinking about how he should kill this annoying Fang Yusheng.
***
Qiao Jiusheng was discharged on the 27th.
She did not return to her house but stayed at Wei Shuyi’s.
‘Qi Yunsheng’ did not have a maternal family, and the bride had to get married from the maternal family. Qiao Jiusheng thought about who she should find to be her maternal family. That night, she had received two phone calls. One was from Wei Xin, and the other was from Wei Shuyi.
Qiao Jiusheng thought about it and finally chose to let Wei Shuyi be her family.
She had given some thought to choosing Wei Shuyi.
First, in her previous life, Wei Shuyi had accompanied her for many years. He was the one who had sent her away. In this life, Wei Shuyi had also saved her.
It could be said that Wei Shuyi gave her a new life.
Wei Shuyi was not surprised that Qiao Jiusheng asked him to do this.
On the 28th, he took leave from the school and bought many festive items. His apartment was festively decorated.
Fang Yusheng was originally quite concerned about Wei Shuyi. However, when he found out that he was going to Wei Shuyi’s house to marry Qiao Jiusheng, his attitude toward Wei Shuyi changed.
From now on, he would no longer treat Wei Shuyi as his imaginary love rival. Instead, he would treat Wei Shuyi as his elder brother-in-law, even though this elder brother-in-law was younger than him.
As for Wei Xin, she became Qiao Jiusheng’s bridesmaid.
On the night of the 28th, Fang Yusheng ignored the doctor’s advice and left the hospital elegantly. He stayed at the Empire Hotel.
The next day, at four o’clock in the morning, Qiao Jiusheng woke up. After she ate a piece of a high-calorie cake, the stylist took her away to dress her up. At the hotel, Fang Yusheng was also getting his hair done. Even though he was a man, today was special. Fang Yusheng had light makeup done on him.
When the makeup artist trimmed Fang Yusheng’s eyebrows, she tried her best not to notice the groom’s eyes.
Those eyes were too beautiful. They were like bottomless pits that could suck her soul inside them.
Fang Yusheng had good makeup on. He changed into a sapphire blue suit and put on his watch. Standing in front of the mirror, he sized himself up. He was still handsome. If his right hand was not bandaged, he would look even better. After confirming that there was no problem with his look, Fang Yusheng took a deep breath and walked out of the master bedroom.
In the living room outside the master bedroom, a group of Fang family juniors and Qi Bufan were standing.
In his left hand, Fang Yusheng held two chest flowers with the word “best man” written on them. He walked to Fang Yu’an and handed them to him. “Do you want it?”
Fang Yu’an looked at the flower and was a little flattered.
He quickly stretched out his hands and took the corsage from Fang Yusheng as if it were an imperial edict. He gratefully put it on and straightened his chest. The younger generation in the family enviously looked at Fang Yu’an. He was really lucky to be Brother Yusheng’s best man.
Ever since they knew that Fang Yusheng’s eyesight had been restored, the Fang family respected and liked this elder brother even more.
Fang Yusheng still had one flower in his hand.
He glanced at Qi Bufan, who was standing behind everyone.
Qi Bufan’s gaze shifted, and he felt extremely guilty. He thought that Fang Yusheng still held a grudge against him, so he did not dare to look at Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng walked straight toward him.
Qi Bufan complained in his heart: No way! It has been so many days, yet you still want to find trouble with me?
“Put it on.” Fang Yusheng handed the corsage to Qi Bufan.
Qi Bufan was stunned.
He turned his head and looked down at the corsage with a surprised expression.
Fang Yusheng snorted. “You’ve done everything for me in the past ten years. You’ll have to suffer as the best man again.”
Qi Bufan took the flower in a daze, his ears a little red.
“Th-this…” Qi Bufan touched the chest flower and hesitated for a while before saying, “Sir, you’re not very stingy.”
“Don’t let me hear that word again.” Fang Yusheng’s handsome face darkened.
Qi Bufan quickly shut his mouth and put on the corsage.
The three of them set off together.
Fang Yusheng’s wedding procession was not as grand as Fang Mu’s. When they picked Qiao Jiusheng up, they only had five sports cars.
Fang Yusheng could drive by himself. When he went to Wei Shu, he drove on his own. When he returned later, he asked the driver to drive while he and Ah Sheng sat in the rear seats.
Fang Yusheng was in the 250 that he had given to Qiao Jiusheng.
Qi Bufan was behind them, driving Fang Yusheng’s new Porsche. Fang Yu’an and Fang Yuqing sat in the third car. The remaining two cars were responsible for fetching the bridesmaid, the makeup artists, and Wei Shuyi.
Even though they did not have many cars, Fang Yusheng’s car was too rare. Along the way, it attracted the attention of many people.
Fang Yusheng had not driven a car for many years.
When he drove through Binjiang City, his mood was especially complicated.
This feeling of being able to see everything was really good.
Even though Fang Yusheng had sent a bunch of long-winded texts, the texts did not mention that the groom wasn’t allowed to be tested when picking up the bride. Hence, when Fang Yusheng and the rest got out of the car and took the elevator to Wei Shuyi’s house, they realized that the door with the festive couplets was actually closed. Only then did Fang Yusheng realize that picking up the bride seemed a little difficult.
Fang Yusheng quickly called Fang Yuqing over.
“Brother Yusheng, what’s wrong?” Fang Yuqing was carrying a bag. The bag was full, and she did not know what was inside it.
Fang Yusheng softly asked her, “Did you bring any money?”
Fang Yuqing patted her bag and said. “Mom wrapped a red packet.”
Fang Yusheng was relieved.
He praised Xu Pingfei in his heart before knocking on the door.
In the house, Wei Xin moved a chair and sat behind the door. She had worn a light purple bridesmaid dress, and there was a square box in her hand. Hearing the knock on the door, she pursed her lips and shouted, “You want to marry the bride? Sure.” Wei Xin bent down and placed the box by the door.
Fang Yusheng and the rest watched as a square hole opened below the door.
Wei Xin squatted behind the hole and said, “Do you see this box?” Wei Xin pushed the box to the back of the hole.
Fang Yusheng: “…”
He felt that something was wrong.
“What are you doing?” He frowned, a rare hint of confusion appearing on his handsome face.
Wei Xin clapped her hands and said, “Come, put US dollars in it. I want a hundred pieces. fill this box and you can take the bride away.” There was nothing more sincere than plucking feathers from an iron rooster.
Fang Yusheng glanced at the box that was about 40 centimeters long, 40 centimeters high, and maybe 40 centimeters wide. He quickly calculated how many hundred-dollar bills it would take to fill the bottomless pit.
Fang Yuqing was dumbfounded when she saw the box.
“Brother, we don’t have enough money. Besides, our money is in RMB.” Fang Yuqing was anxious.
Did no one prepare a single USD?
Qi Bufan rubbed his nose. He wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to.
Wei Xin sat behind the door, crossed her legs, and traced her lipstick while saying to the group outside the door, “The wedding ceremony will take place at 11: 30 pm. It’s 8: 30 pm now. There are three and a half hours left. There’s a Merchant Bank a hundred meters to the left downstairs…”
Wei Xin wickedly smiled at the mirror.
“Speed is the key here. If you’re fast, you can take the bride away. If you’re slow, then…” Putting away her lipstick, Wei Xin stood up and said, “Then the groom can go play with the eggs alone!” She then turned around and walked to the bedroom, leaving Wei Shuyi to wait here.
Outside the door, Fang Yusheng did not hesitate. He reached into his pockets to take out his card.
However, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t brought his wallet.
Even if he had his wallet, it did not have a bank card!
He had handed all his money to Qiao Jiusheng!
Fang Yusheng wanted to cry.
He turned around and looked at Qi Bufan, revealing a cunning smile. Qi Bufan saw his smile and felt that something was wrong.
Fang Yusheng walked over and hugged Qi Bufan’s shoulder. He asked, “Bufan, are you my brother?”
Qi Bufan wanted to say no.
Fang Yusheng took advantage of the situation and said to him, “Lend me some money. I know you have money. Don’t worry, I’ll return it to you once the wedding is over.”
Qi Bufan wanted to cry.
Why am I the one who always gets injured!
Qi Bufan and Fang Yu’an went to collect the money. When they returned, they were carrying a big bag.
“Brother Yusheng, the money is here. Five hundred thousand.”
Fang Yusheng opened the bag and saw a large stack of notes with George Washington on them.
A hundred US dollars weighed 105 grams, and 500,000: more than ten kilograms. After they put the dollar bills inside the box in stacks, the box was finally filled. Wei Shuyi stared at the box of US dollars and felt complicated. He felt that he could not afford to marry a wife in this lifetime.
Seeing that the box was full, Wei Xin whistled and signaled Wei Shuyi to open the door.
Wei Shuyi opened the door and Fang Yusheng walked in with the best man.
He looked at the smug Wei Xin and Wei Shuyi, who had a complicated gaze. Making a mental note of each of these two, Fang Yusheng walked into the bedroom. When he saw Qiao Jiusheng sitting on the bed in her wedding dress, his mood finally lightened.
“It’s really not easy to see you.” Fang Yusheng walked over and squatted on the ground. He picked up the flat shoe on the carpet and put it on Qiao Jiusheng’s feet as he asked, “Is my 500,000 US dollars little wife ready?”
What the heck is a 500,000 USD wife?
This was the first time Qiao Jiusheng had heard of a delicate wife with an astronomical price.
