After Peng Xiaomei delivered the invitations and left, Chen Zhaodi looked unhappy.

"Zhou Hongyu, are you really going to their wedding banquet?!"

“They are now our competitors; the store next door alone has taken away a lot of our business…”

In particular, the neighbors in the alley were so kind as to offer Liu Yuting a dowry, and she agreed because of the circumstances at the time, but now she regrets it.

Zhou Hongyu glanced at Chen Zhaodi: "Go! Why wouldn't you go!"

"In business, harmony is paramount. This is a perfect opportunity to probe their capabilities and see what they're really made of!"

Chen Zhaodi sighed. The opening of the Peng family's store had dragged down her own store's performance, making it difficult for it to return to its peak. Once the peak business period of the Lunar New Year was over, the performance would probably be even worse.

Why isn't Zhou Hongyu worried? She even has the mind to attend her rival's wedding banquet!

Zhou Hongyu ignored Chen Zhaodi's resentment. In order to look beautiful at the wedding banquet that day, she asked Wu Xiufang for advice, and the two of them picked out clothes in the store.

The white dress was too eye-catching. She was already very fair-skinned, and wearing it made her look even fairer, which made the people around her look yellowish and darker.

Not suitable!

Navy blue...

Zhou Hongyu was overwhelmed by the choices; she looked good in any of them. However, given the occasion, she needed to consider whether the outfits were appropriate.

Wu Xiufang had an idea: "Last time, Aiqiao sent over a few samples, but since there's no one in the store to take care of them right now, they've just been sitting there. Boss, why don't you take them out and let us take a look?"

Chen Zhaodi, standing beside her, glared at Wu Xiufang upon hearing this.

Who said there was no one in the store? I am a person, and no one came to report such an important matter to me!

In the end, they selected a pale yellow dress from the samples sent by Aiqiao. It was elegant and noble, and Zhou Hongyu and Wu Xiufang both agreed that this dress was especially suitable for attending the wedding banquet that day.

Chen Zhaodi stood to the side, sulking, "They invited me too, so why don't you pick out some clothes for me..."

If Zhou Hongyu is willing to wear such an expensive dress out, she has to take advantage of it too!

"You?" Zhou Hongyu looked you up and down, then shook her head: "You'd better not. There aren't any styles in the store that suit you. We'll ask you to be a model when we find something suitable!"

Chen Zhaodi is a bit stocky, and ordinary women's clothing doesn't suit her at all. It's better not to wear it out and ruin the store's reputation.

Chen Zhaodi was furious: "Fine, don't give it to me! Why all the excuses! Do you think I'm trying to take advantage of you?!"

Zhou Hongyu and Wu Xiufang exchanged a glance. Wasn't that right?

The night before the wedding banquet, Peng Xiaomei rushed over, her eyes darting around the shop as if looking for someone.

"Mr. Zhou, did you see... um, never mind!"

In the end, Peng Xiaomei didn't finish her sentence, her face filled with heartache.

Zhou Hongyu asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen that delayed the wedding? Do you need my help?"

The Liu family has definitely not given up. If what the neighbors say is true, the Liu family can sell Liu Yuting for a good price.

Peng Xiaomei shook her head, her expression grim: "Boss Zhou, I'm sorry, tomorrow's wedding banquet is canceled. I came here specifically to tell you!"

"Ah!" Chen Zhaodi was the most shocked. She immediately dropped what she was doing and ran over.

They only notified us of the cancellation the night before the wedding banquet. This is even more laughable than Zhou Hongyu's former daughter-in-law!

Zhou Hongyu thought cruelly, "If the wedding banquet is canceled, then I won't be able to wear my beautiful dress to show off. What a pity..."

Chen Zhaodi pulled Peng Xiaomei aside and pressed her, "You have to get married no matter what! If word gets out that you're doing this, people will laugh at you to death!"

Peng Xiaomei said in a resentful tone, "The bride is hiding from us and refuses to see anyone! The wedding banquet can't go on!"

She thought that her older brother, who had difficulty finding a wife, would live happily ever after with Liu Yuting after their marriage. However, she never expected that Liu Yuting would run away from the wedding without any warning!

After this incident, she and her older brother immediately went to find her and indeed saw Liu Yuting.

Liu Yuting did not disappear; she was just ashamed to face people. In short, according to Liu Yuting, the wedding banquet had to be canceled!

Chen Zhaodi was utterly bewildered: "Yu Ting seems like a girl who wants to get married, how could she do something like this!"

Peng Xiaomei: "Who knows what she was thinking! Maybe she thought we were easy to bully because we're from out of town! She did this just to make a fool of us!"

"They were all so nice before. Although the Liu family didn't agree to her marrying my older brother, she was willing herself. She even said that my older brother should take a large dowry back to support her family. The die is cast, and even if she was unwilling, the Liu family wouldn't refuse to let them in for the sake of money!"

Zhou Hongyu frowned: "What caused this commotion? Didn't Liu Yuting explain it to you clearly?"

Peng Xiaomei sneered: "Cancel it if you want, it's not like my older brother can't find a wife. He used to treat her well! Now it seems he's no different from the Liu family!"

"Little sister! What are you doing here!"

Boss Peng suddenly appeared behind her, interrupting Peng Xiaomei's words.

Peng Xiaomei stamped her foot: "Big brother, what time is it? Liu Yuting has already made her words public, and you still have hope for her? You should use this time to make things clear to the guests attending the wedding banquet tomorrow. It's better not to go through with the wedding!"

Boss Peng snapped, "This is none of your business. I'll talk to Yu Ting about it. The marriage is definitely going to happen!"

It turns out that this was all Peng Xiaomei's own decision; Boss Peng had no intention of canceling the marriage.

Why did he come looking for me?

Mr. Peng clasped his hands in anguish: "Mr. Zhou, I only know a few of Yu Ting's friends. Could you please go and say a few words to her for me? She refuses to see me at all!"

Chen Zhaodi was overly enthusiastic: "As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Leave this to us!"
