Chapter 88

"You really don't know how powerful your man is. Erwa and I know it very well. Brother Ze is no longer the same as he used to be. He is the youngest and most promising entrepreneur in Qingzhou City. His reputation is so great that so many people are rushing to curry favor with him. There are fifty tables in total, which means more than six hundred people."

"I don't really feel anything about this. I don't care about his work."

"Be careful, girl. Don't let him be snatched away by the fairies outside. But it seems that they can't snatch him away."

Li Hongmei learned from Erwa that Pei Ze actually had a lot of social engagements, but he rarely participated and turned down all that he could. He didn't drink and went home on time after get off work, as if his wife would run away if he didn't go home to accompany her.

It's really rare. Nowadays, every big boss lives a life of luxury and debauchery. Pei Ze is an exception.

"Yeah, he doesn't have those evil thoughts. He is just a decent person."

Zhong Miao couldn't agree more. Pei Ze was really a down-to-earth and family-oriented person, which was totally inconsistent with his seductive face.

"You are so beautiful, no wonder he is like that. If anyone marries you, he will probably not look down on anyone else. His whole life will be ruined by a witch like you."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Well, today you're getting married, and you're the most beautiful."

"I am most beautiful even if I am not married."

"That's enough. I'm jealous."

"Haha, don't be sour. I'm counting on your help today."

"What else can I say? I have to help you."

The moment Pei Ze picked up his wife, the sound of firecrackers was deafening. He carried his wife all the way out of the alley and directly into the car. Zhong Miao's feet didn't even touch the ground.

He also hired a cameraman to film the whole process. This was not popular back then. I really don't know where he found it from.

Pei Ze had just put his wife in the passenger seat when he couldn't help but kiss her, causing cheers from those around him.

"I'm wearing lipstick, don't rub it on me." Zhong Miao blushed.

"Just rub it on, just think of it as applying it on me too."

Zhong Miao was speechless. Pei Ze was still the same bastard Pei Ze.

Their wedding was a grand affair, with a huge crowd of onlookers. People passing by gathered around when they saw a row of cars, and couldn't take their eyes off the bride and groom. They looked so good that they didn't look real.

Another reason why I couldn't take my eyes off it is that most weddings are now Chinese style. It's good enough if you can go to a photo studio to borrow a wedding dress and suit to take wedding photos. It's really rare to see so many cars coming to pick you up.

Pei Ze drove the car himself and honked the horn, and the cars behind him responded. Then, he stepped on the accelerator lightly and led a string of cars behind him that came to pick up the bride, driving slowly towards the hotel.

"You've made such a big scene, with so many people, I'm a little embarrassed."

"Haha, the past doesn't count. After today, you'll be officially married to me. I can't wait for everyone to see it."

He reached out a hand and held hers, stroking her smooth skin with his calloused hand.

The wedding was Western style, with reference to weddings in Hong Kong. Pei Ze felt that their previous simple wedding could barely be considered Chinese style, so he decided to change the style this time. His wife deserved the best.

Pei Ze is very busy. During this period, in addition to being busy at the factory and store, he also has to go to the hotel and take care of various aspects of the wedding. None of them can be wrong. He is very attentive. From the dress to the ceremony, to the cooperation of all parties, he strives for perfection.

When Zhong Miao arrived at the hotel, he heard that the stage in the banquet hall was built on Pei Ze's request, and that the most handsome and famous host in the city was invited.

When she was held hand by her old father and walked towards Pei Ze step by step, she realized how luxurious and grand this wedding was.

Everyone was shocked and amazed at the couple's looks and attire. They were so beautiful. This wedding was something they had never seen before.

An An, the cutest little flower girl, followed behind his grandpa and mother, holding a bouquet of flowers and a velvet box containing his parents' wedding rings.

When the old father handed his daughter to Pei Ze, he could no longer control his tears. Mother-in-law and An An were sitting in the audience, and Zhong Miao saw tears in her eyes.

Zhang Weilan waved to her daughter-in-law. She was extremely glad that she had forced her son to get married. She was grateful to God for letting Zhong Miao marry into their family, bringing new hope and true happiness to the family.

These days there are no cookie-cutter congratulatory speeches, nor are there big screens showing wedding photos. There are only carefully prepared scripts by the host, full of deep emotions and good wishes for the newlyweds.

The host asked Zhong Ming to stay and let his father-in-law say a few words to the newlyweds. Zhong Ming wiped his eyes and took the microphone.

"My daughter has been raised in my arms since she was little. Pei Ze, today she is officially marrying you. As a father, I have a few words to say."

"There's no perfect person in the world, and my daughter is no exception. We still have a long life ahead of us. Now you think she's good and everything about her is good, but if there comes a day when you no longer like her, send her home and return her to me. She will always be my treasure, and I won't allow anyone else to bully her."

"Dad, don't worry, I will never bully her. No matter how long it takes, I will still be me and I won't change."

There is no way Pei Ze would bully Zhong Miao. No matter how much he loves her, it is never enough.

"Well, son-in-law, don't forget what I said today. My dear daughter, you must remember that no matter when and where, your parents' family will always be your backing, and dad will always be the family you can rely on. Even if you get married, you will always be dad's daughter. Dad will always love you, no matter life or death."

Zhong Miao hugged her father, tears streaming down her face. She knew, she had always known, that no matter when, where, life or death, her father would always make arrangements for her. She could live freely and make choices true to her heart, precisely because she knew that her father would stand behind her and cover for her.

Below the stage, in the huge banquet hall, there were more than 600 people, including several bosses that Pei Ze cooperated with, some workers from the factory, store clerks, Zhong Miao’s classmates and teachers, and people from Zhong Ming’s side.

Many of them wiped away their tears after hearing what Zhong Ming said.

This is the love and indulgence that an old father has for his daughter. A daughter will always be his child. As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Now the times have changed. What's wrong with a daughter? A daughter is also a father's treasure, no worse than a son.

"Haha, my dear daughter, don't cry. If he dares to let you suffer in the future, Dad will make the decision and let you kick him out."

The touching and sad atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and laughter came from the audience. Several bigwigs took the lead in applauding. This Mr. Zhong was really not an ordinary person. The down jackets they wore in winter were all made by him.

"Okay, Dad, you can rely on me. I've grown up and I'm different now."

Zhong Miao said that she was different from the daddy's girl in her previous life. She had really grown up now and could be relied upon by her father. In this life, she would no longer leave all the pressure to her father and enjoy the fruits of her labor as before. In the future, she would be able to stand on her own.

"Okay, okay, my daughter has grown up."

The old father let go of his daughter, and the handsome host was about to move on to the next segment. He first asked the old father to return to his seat, and then invited the witness to come on stage.

Pei Ze attached great importance to this wedding. He invited Zhong Miao's principal to be the witness and bear witness for them.

When all the ceremonies were over, the couple on the stage exchanged rings.

Pei Ze couldn't wait to kiss his bride, the love of his life.

There was cheering and applause from the audience. More than 600 people witnessed their vows and gave their best wishes to the newlyweds.

The next step is to serve tea and wine.

Zhong Miao offered tea to her mother-in-law, "Mom, from today on, you are my mom. Thank you for taking care of me. You will always be my mom."

Zhang Weilan wiped her tears and said, "Okay, good child, having you call me mom is worth everything."

Zhang Weilan took the teacup and took a sip, then took out a big red envelope and a wide bracelet from her arms. Large rubies were inlaid on the gold, with beautiful hollow patterns. It was definitely an ordinary item, a rare treasure in auction houses decades later.

Zhang Weilan personally put a bracelet on her daughter-in-law. The beautiful ruby ​​bracelet added a touch of nobility to Zhong Miao.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Well, go get busy." Zhang Weilan patted Zhong Miao's white and tender little hands.

When toasting, Pei Ze and Zhong Miao both used tea instead of wine. Pei Ze prepared good wine for the guests, but he himself refused to drink a single sip, no matter how people tried to persuade him. Tonight was his wedding night, and no one could get him to drink it.

Pei Ze held Zhong Miao's hand for a while, then put his arm around her waist. The couple was very close and greeted everyone at each table.

This was a tough time for Li Hongmei who was behind them. At that time, best men and bridesmaids were not yet popular. Pei Ze didn't care that Erwa was married, and Zhong Miao had no one else to trust. The married Li Hongmei and Erwa came forward to help. She carried a big bag and helped Zhong Miao collect the red envelopes. She could hardly carry it before they had walked far.

When she really couldn't carry it anymore, she gave the bag to Erwa, who then gave it to Zhang Weilan to keep. Erwa then brought back an empty bag from Zhang Weilan.

Pei Ze was well prepared for this.

In fact, the people in the front row were all businessmen and some big bosses, so the red envelopes were naturally heavier. When it came to the back row, Li Hongmei felt a little more relaxed. However, she also had to change four bags before she could receive all the gifts, mainly because there were so many people.

Pei Ze is no longer the same person he used to be. In Qingzhou, no one doesn't want to be friends with him. What's more, Zhong Miao is also a well-known painter with a bright future. When these two get married, the red envelopes for gifts will naturally be bigger. This is all about social etiquette.

Li Hongmei had never seen so much money before, and it was so heavy. Zhong Miao and Pei Ze walked calmly in front, and she felt her heart pounding as she followed behind them. Even with Erwa protecting her, she didn't feel safe.

After the wedding, Pei Ze booked the three best rooms in the hotel. Although this hotel was not star-rated, it had the best conditions in this era.

In the couple's room, An An was already asleep on the bed. The father-in-law, son-in-law and mother-in-law were counting the money. Zhong Miao was writing it down in a small notebook. It was a lot of money, and it was all about human relationships. What should be paid back should be paid back in time.

That night, the couple stayed in the hotel directly.

Their wedding indeed caused a sensation in the whole city and was featured on entertainment programs that night. Only then did Zhong Miao know that Pei Ze had also invited reporters.

A voice came from the TV that the city's famous young entrepreneur Pei Ze was getting married today. It turned out that Mr. Zhong from the XX Garment Factory was Mr. Pei's father-in-law, and Mr. Pei's wife was Ms. Zhong Miao, a contemporary artist who had won two awards at art exhibitions...

"Next year's wedding anniversary will be today, it's our best day."

Pei Ze sat on the sofa, holding his wife in his arms, stroking her long hair while watching TV.

"Well, how about we stop using contraception?"

"What, what do you mean?"

"I want a daughter as cute as An An, but I'm also afraid of the pain of giving birth."

"Then don't, wife, I have you and that's enough for me."

Pei Ze had lost his family, so he had concerns.

Having a child also has risks. He just wants to be with Zhong Miao forever, and he cannot bear any risk she takes.

"But I still want it a little bit."

Wanting and being afraid are not contradictory. The main reason she didn't want a child before was because she was afraid of the pain. She is still afraid of the pain now, but now she wants it a little bit.

"Then wait until you are ready. Besides, even if you want a daughter, the one who comes may not be a daughter. She might be a brat like An An. You will be disappointed."

Pei Ze felt mixed emotions. An An, the light bulb, had already occupied part of his wife's attention. It would be better to forget about having another one. What's more, his wife was afraid of pain and there were risks involved. No matter how he thought about it, having a child was not worth it.
