After being the pampered young lady of the Lu family for seventeen years, she discovered she was actually a fake heiress. Meng Anran decisively cut ties with the Lu family and returned to the finan...
Chapter 390 Did she save your life?
The wedding banquet was scheduled to be held at a seaside resort hotel. After the family members and the wedding planning team put down their luggage in the room arranged by the Ming family, it was time to start preparing for tomorrow's wedding banquet.
"An Ran, why don't you go and have a rest first? The decoration materials for the bridal room haven't been prepared yet, you can go back to your room and take a nap." Liu Zhi was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the makeup artist was trying on her makeup.
Meng Anran leaned on the side with her hands in her arms, looking at her with a smile: "How can I sit idle while you get married? I have to personally monitor all the procedures to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Liu Zhi suddenly sighed: "I never thought that I, who have always loved freedom and freedom, would get married at the young age of 23!"
She touched her belly, which hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet but was already round, and said, "And she got married and got pregnant early! I'm still a child, and she has to become a mother!"
"Don't worry, with the conditions of the Liu and Ming families, you just need to give birth to the child happily, healthily, and smoothly. There are plenty of people to raise it for you."
Meng Anran patted her shoulder and added, "Then you can leave the child to someone else and travel with me."
"That makes a lot of sense!" Liu Zhi nodded heavily and said, "After I unload the cargo, we'll go eat all the delicious food in the country and see all the beautiful scenery!"
Meng Anran made an OK gesture, "No problem."
"You guys are having such a good time discussing this, have you forgotten about us?"
A resentful voice was heard, and the two best friends turned around and saw Ming Jing and Qin Mu walking in together, both pairs of eyes filled with grievances.
It’s so sad. The baby isn’t even born yet, but my wife is planning to leave me behind and go traveling with her best friend!
"So what?" Liu Zhi was full of righteousness and pulled Meng Anran's hand. "Why do I need a husband when I have my best friend by my side?"
"How cruel!" Ming Jing pinched Liu Zhi's face unconvinced, but was slapped away.
"Don't touch it, I'm wearing foundation!" Liu Zhi glared at him angrily, "What are you doing here? Have you arranged the guest seats?"
"I was just about to go over there, so I stopped by to see you." Ming Jing bent down and kissed her on the red lips, "Look how beautiful my bride is."
Liuzhi frowned in disgust and slapped him on the shoulder, "You're disgusting! Get out of here!"
"Okay, okay." Ming Jing sighed helplessly and left with Qin Mu.
Meng Anran couldn't help laughing as she stared at Liu Zhi. It seemed that this pair of enemies would have a very happy life after marriage, quarreling with each other all day long.
I guess our home will be more lively after we have children.
"Zhizhi, I'm going to the beach to check the layout of the oath-taking venue. Call me when you're done putting on your makeup."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, baby~" Liu Zhi winked at Meng Anran and always had a bright smile towards her best friend.
By dinner time, the general arrangements were almost completed, and the remaining finishing work could be left until tomorrow so that we didn't have to work too hard.
The next morning, the decorations resumed, and since some guests had arrived early, Ming Jing, as the groom, had to arrange for them to check in and rest. Best man Qin Mu went to the banquet hall to check that the guests were seated correctly.
In this circle, status and position are everything. You can't just sit anywhere at the banquet. Friends and relatives sit closer to the stage, while other business partners sit from front to back according to their status.
The hotel is just a venue for the banquet, and the oath-taking ceremony is scheduled on the beach. The planning team has already made most of the arrangements, and Meng Anran came to inspect the results.
The azure sea sparkles like broken diamonds in the sunlight, and the soft white sand is covered with rose petals, extending all the way to the wooden platform on the sea.
Pure white tulle and flowers are woven into elegant arches, with a heart-shaped flower decoration at the end.
Transparent seats are placed on both sides of the platform, with light blue ribbons tied to the backs, fluttering gently in the breeze.
Meng Anran walked barefoot on the beach, her pearly white satin dress fluttering in the wind, and the diamond hair accessories in her hair sparkled in the sun.
She held a tablet in her hand and directed the staff to adjust the preset layout.
"Move the champagne tower on the left side of the stage half a meter to the right. Yes, at this angle—" She tapped her fingertips, watching with satisfaction as the crystal champagne glasses reflected a rainbow-like halo in the sunlight.
After determining the location of the champagne tower and marking it, the staff temporarily pushed the champagne tower back into the hotel.
She lowered her head, ran her fingertips across two pages on the tablet, walked to the long table where the pastries were placed, and scanned the exquisite pastries on the table.
"The Portuguese tarts are too oily, so take them out and try cupcakes instead. Also, replace any fruit that needs to be peeled, and avoid any fruit that oxidizes easily. You can use grapes, strawberries, black currants, cherries, and the like."
Walking to the drinks area, she picked up a glass of coconut milk and took a sip, frowning at the sweetness.
"Replace coconut milk with coconut water, remove orange juice and watermelon juice, and don't use anything fancy, it's too tacky. Also, the red wine glass is too small, get a bigger one."
The waiter nodded repeatedly. He had never met such a difficult customer.
But who can blame them for giving enough money?
After organizing this wedding banquet, these workers can get a lot of commissions!
It’s okay if it’s a little troublesome, the customer is God!
After giving instructions on these details, Meng Anran closed the tablet and went back to the bridal room to help decorate it with the other bridesmaids.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Liuzhi throwing a tantrum inside.
"No! This thing is long and smelly, what's there to memorize?"
Liu Zhi crumpled the paper in her hand into a ball and threw it casually, hitting Meng Anran who pushed the door open.
Meng Anran bent down to pick up the piece of paper, unfolded it, and found that it was the oath for tomorrow's ceremony.
It seems that Liu's uncle and aunt understood Liu Zhi's personality and were afraid that she would make mistakes during the ceremony, so they specially ordered someone to write the oath in advance and asked Liu Zhi to recite the entire oath.
It’s not long, just a few hundred words.
But Liuzhi has always hated red tape and hated being confined by rigid things the most.
Therefore, since her student days, Liuzhi has disliked memorizing, which led to serious academic imbalance.
Who would have thought that on the most important day of her life, she would have to memorize something?
"Anran, I don't want to carry it!" Liu Zhi has always obeyed her best friend, but now she can only act coquettishly and beg her best friend not to let her see these nasty things.
Of course, if her best friend asked her to recite it, she would have to recite it no matter how much she didn't want to.
"Then I won't recite it." Meng Anran crumpled up the oath again and threw it into the trash can. "Your wedding is all about you."
"Really?" Liuzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I knew you were the best!"
Meng Anran chuckled, "Are you thirsty? I'll get you something to drink."
"I want hot cocoa!"
"good."
Meng Anran turned around and left.
Wen Yuanyuan placed her hands on Liuzhi's shoulders and asked in confusion, "Zhizhi, did Meng Anran save your life? Why do you listen to her so much?"
A happy smile spread across Liuzhi's lips, which showed her trust and love for her best friend.
"She didn't save my life, but she saved my grandmother's life."
