Dou Yue’er held herself back but when she finally could not hold back anymore,
she said, “Yiyi, you’re too stingy!”
That’s called knowing how to spend my days wisely.” Zi Yi started to lie
through her teeth and talk nonsense while she complained about how poor she
was. “Ever since Ah Jing stepped down from the position of Lu Group’s
President, we’ve been living on a tight budget, to the point that I might not
even have money to buy milk tea soon.”
Dou Xiangling, who knew that Zi Yi was richer than all of them combined: “”
Yiyi, doesn’t your conscience hurt when you lie?a
Unexpectedly, the high-schooler Dou Yue’er believed her. She immediately
revealed a sympathetic expression. “Yiyi, I didn’t expect that you would be so
miserable now.”
She thought for a while and said, “How about this. Ive saved up some pocket
money in recent years. I’I.. lend it to you first.”
“Why don’t you give it to me?”
“In your dreams.”
Dou Yurui who had seen through how Zi Yi was deliberately teasing Dou Yue’er
could not help but burst out laughing.
Dou Xiangling also could not help herself as she covered her lips and laughed.
Dou Yue’er finally came back to her senses and glared at Zi Yi in anger. “Yiyi,
you’re too mean! Don’t you still have your bar and racing club? Your bar is very
profitable and so how could you be so poor that you can’t even afford milk
tea?
She then turned to lookat Lu Jingye with an expression as if wanting the
husband to pay for the troubles his wife caused. “Cousin-in-law, I’ve been
deeply hurt by my cousin, and right now, a small amount of money in my red
packet is enough to chase me away.”
She then took out her phone and showed him the QR code.
Lu Jingye glanced at Zi Yi whose eyes turned into crescent moons while
smiling, before he lowered his eyes and entered an amount on his phone.
[Received a bank transfer of S100,000.]
Dou Xiangling and Dou Yurui:”.
Dou Yue’er said, “Heheheh! Cousin-in-law, you’re really generous!”
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jingye continued to tap on his phone
Following that, Dou Xiangling and Dou Yunrui’s phone received a message
notification.
Both of them were momentarily stunned before they laughed at the same time.
Dou Yunrui asked while smiling, “Cousin- in-law, are you giving us a red
packet on the account that we are still single?
Lu Jingye nodded his head. “That’s right.”
Dou Xiangling also smiled. “Then we won’t be polite with you.”
Dou Yue’er suddenly said, “I wish that my Yiyi and my cousin-in-law can get
married right now.” That way, she’ll be able to ask for a few more red packets!
Zi Yi knewwhat she was thinking ina single glance. She grabbed Lu Jingye’s
hand and pulled him to the side as she said, “Tve already imagined the scene of
Yue’er asking for more money in the future. Ah Jing, we should stay away from
her.”
Lu Jingye looked at her with a smile and his eyes revealed a gentle light
After everyone gathered together, Dou Jingning spoke up.
“Little Lu, Yiyi, we’ve checked out several good dates and they are respectively,
December 24th, January 1st, and February 14th. These dates are also soon and
you can decide which dates you want to hold the wedding banquet.”e
Mrs. Lu added. “jingye has to leave soon and I think the sooner, the better.
The First Madam also nodded her head in agreement. “When the time comes,
you can decide if you wish to have a larger scale banquet or one of a smaller
scale. If you intend to hold a large-scale banquet, the 24th might be a little
tight. However, we have numbers on our side, and preparations shouldn’t be a
problem.”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye looked at each other with a tacit understanding
Lu Jingye said to her, “There are still ten days before December 24th and if you
don’t plan to invite many people, we’ll hold it on that day.”
“I don’t plan to invite too many people.” Zi Yi felt that marriage was somethings
between two families and it would do for both families to be present. She did
2ot have many friends and other thaan inviting Elder Tang and those from the
Painting and Calligraphy Association, there was not a need to invite the rest.
Lu Jingye nodded his head and said to them, “I also won’t have many to invite.
When the time comes, I think it’s suitable for both of the families to hold a
simple dinner.”
The number of attendees did not matter. What’s important were the sincere
wishes.
Moreover, Lu Jingye was not the Lu Group’s President anymore and there was
not even a need to invite his subordinates and collaborating partners.
“Yiyi wants to have an imperial wedding. I’ve already ordered a dress from an
embroidery master and it should be finished before the 24th.”
Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingve with a surprised gaze. “When did you place an order
with an embroidery master?
“When you said that you wanted to have an imperial wedding
zi Yi instantly revealed a blissful smile.
When the others looked at the both of them, they had also revealed knowing
smiles
The Second Madam said with a smile, “If that’s the case, we just need to
prepare a wedding venue, right?”
“Where should we hold the wedding reception then?” “The ‘Third Madam was a
little concerned about this problem. “If it is held in the Lu Family home, there
would be many guests.”
If they held the wedding reception at Lu Jingye’s house, all the people from
high society in the capital would definitely come to attend. She was worried
that other people would badmouth their Yiyi.
However, Mrs. Lu did not think that way. “Of course, it should be held here. My
eldest son’s marriage should be a big event and it’s up to them to come or not.
But if they were to badmouth Yiyi, they shouldn’t blame me for falling out with
them and chasing them out.”
Her eldest son’s wedding reception should be publicized so that everyone
would know about it. Even if Patriarch Lu did not recognize her eldest son as
his grandson, she and her husband would cherish their son
daughter-in-law. Who would dare to touch them?
Lu Jianlin agreed with what his wife said. “We’ll hold it here.”
Since the Lu couple said so, naturally the Dou Family would not say anything
else.
The adults from both sides started to discuss the details of the wedding once
again.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye had nothing else to do next
The Dou Family members stayed until after 9 p.m and only left because they
were worried about Elder Dou.
Mrs. Lu held Zi Yi’s hand and said, “Yiyi, when the wedding invitations are
ready, you just have to fill in the names you want to invite. There’s nothing else
you and Jingye have to care about. If you have any other thoughts or ideas, tell
me and I’l satisfy all your request
zi Yi revealed a smile and nodded. “Okay, Mom.”
“It’s getting late, you two should go back and rest early too. When I heard that
both of you are coming back, I got the helpers to redecorate Jingye’s room. Go
and take a look to see if it fits your tastes. If not, I’ll call someone to change it
tomorrow.”
Okay-” Zi Yi answered joyously and Mrs. Lu was also elated. At the thought of
how loveable her eldest daughter- in-law was, she loved her even more.
The news of how a wedding reception was going to happen in the Second
Family household would certainly be spread to the main house very quickly.
The First Madam deliberately wagged her tongue in front of Patriarch Lu.
“Second Brother and Second Sister must have done it deliberately. They clearly
know that Father doesn’t like Zi Yi and yet, they still plan to hold the wedding
reception at their place. In my opinion, I think that they are trying to challenge
Father’s authority.
Patriarch Lu was currently drinking tea and after hearing what the First
Madam had to say, his expression did not change, as it still looked as stem as
before.
Just then, while the First Madam could not determine if Patriarch Lu was angry
or not, he suddenly called for the housekeeper.
The housekeeper immediately made his way over.
Patriarch Lu opened the lid of the teacup and blew a piece of tea floating on the
top. After taking a sip, he said, “Call Jianlin and tell him that our family has
been rather extravagant and wasteful recently. In order to respond to the call
of the country, we’re not to hold large banquets and the expense is not to
exceed 100,000.”
“I understand.”
The housekeeper left to make a call and the First Madam was delighted.
Hmph! Since you let my son get stressed out with the company, I’ll make it so
that you can’t even hold a wedding reception!”
