Chapter 450 Happy Event

"Congratulations," Jiang Ning said first.

After congratulating them, he asked with a gossipy look, "How did you two get together?"

Li Xingyue blushed, but Huang Xiaodong, thick-skinned as ever, chuckled and said, "I've now handed over all the power in managing the household to Xingyue. I'm penniless now, so she doesn't have to take responsibility for me."

Jiang Ning: "......."

"Sister Jiang, don't listen to his nonsense," Li Xingyue quickly said. "He can't manage the accounts himself, so he entrusted all the money to me."

Huang Xiaodong scoffed, "Isn't it only natural to hand over the money to your wife to manage?"

Judging from their behavior, it seems they developed feelings for each other after spending a lot of time together.

Back then, Huang Xiaodong was a reckless scoundrel who even injured Grandpa Huang because of gambling debts. Now, he has matured.

With such a large pharmacy under his belt, he's doing quite well.

Judging from the way Huang Xiaodong and Li Xingyue get along, they are a good match.

The next day, when Huang Xiaodong and Grandpa Huang came to the family compound, Jiang Ning was also resting at home.

They came to propose marriage, and when Sister-in-law Li saw that she was at home, she specially came to the neighbor's house to invite her over.

Jiang Ning was the biggest witness to Huang Xiaodong and Li Xingyue becoming a couple.

If she hadn't given Huang Xiaodong the formulas for the whitening cream and the three-white cream, Huang Xiaodong wouldn't have come into contact with Li Xingyue, who was still in college at the time.

Later, another incident occurred with the performing arts troupe, and Li Xingyue was reassigned by Jiang Ning to work at Dexingtang.

I really have to say, when fate brings you together, there's no stopping it.

Arriving at the Li family's courtyard across the street, judging from the attitudes of Li's wife and Commander Li, they were still satisfied with Huang Xiaodong.

After several years of exposure, Huang Xiaodong has become much more composed.

He chatted with Sister-in-law Li and Commander Li throughout the entire visit. He also brought many valuable gifts with him, showing great courtesy and consideration.

On this point, Sister Li's eyes already showed satisfaction.

She kept a close eye on her daughter's situation, and seeing that her daughter genuinely liked it, she had no objections.

Commander Li had a lot of opinions and asked many questions.

Huang Xiaodong answered each question frankly and openly.

As Commander Li answered frankly, his sharp gaze gradually softened.

Jiang Ning was chosen as a mascot to act as a matchmaker and go-between. Only after the Huang and Li families had reached an agreement did they turn their attention to her.

Sister-in-law Li went into the house, and when she came out, she was holding a red envelope, which she immediately tried to put into Jiang Ning's hand.

Jiang Ning subconsciously pushed it away.

Sister-in-law Li smiled and said, "Sister Jiang, this wonderful marriage was made possible by you. This red envelope is a token of our gratitude from Old Li and me. Please don't refuse it!"

Jiang Ning couldn't refuse, so she finally accepted the red envelope from Sister-in-law Li.

She was thinking to herself that she would pack more when the newlyweds got married.

The wedding date was quickly set. People in this era were simple and honest; once they found each other attractive, both sets of parents would agree, and marriage was just a matter of a moment.

The wedding banquet was scheduled for December 1st. After the banquet, Jiang Ning was to depart for Country D to receive an award.

Huang Xiaodong is now quite wealthy. Ever since he learned that Dexingtang's whitening cream and Sanbai cream were developed by Jiang Ning, people have been coming to his door every day to order the two types of cream.

During the two months of the Black Death outbreak, Dexingtang also provided free medical consultations and medicine, which further enhanced Dexingtang's reputation.

Old Master Huang has foresight, and Huang Xiaodong knows how to seize opportunities.

He plans to open several more shops in the future.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for Huang Xiaodong and Li Xingyue's wedding day.

December 1st.

Li Xingyue got married from the family compound. The Li family held a banquet in the morning, and many military dependents came to help early in the morning.

Jiang Ning originally wanted to help, after all, the Li family had the best relationship with her and Shen Mo in the family compound.

Just as she was about to help, Sister Li shooed her into the bedroom to stay with her daughter.

Li Xingyue was getting ready. Both the Li and Huang families were well-off, and the wedding dress she wore was made by her sister-in-law from the best fabric.

When Jiang Ning was brought into the house, Li Xingyue was doing her hair and makeup.

The hairstyle is alright, but the makeup on her face is really awful.

Li Xingyue looked at herself in the mirror with some distress. She looked alright without makeup, but after putting on makeup, she looked much uglier.

If my skin weren't so fair now, I'd probably be even uglier.

This is clearly a trendy makeup look.

Looking at her makeup, Jiang Ning could tell that it was the most popular makeup style at the moment.

Bright red lips, thick eyebrows, and a bright red face.

This is a makeup look that not everyone can pull off.

It was obvious that Li Xingyue wasn't suitable. She walked over and said, "Xingyue, would you like me to do your makeup?"

Li Xingyue had no doubt about Jiang Ning's skills. She pushed the cosmetics on the table, grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, and looked at her with pleading eyes, "Sister Jiang, thank you so much. Looking at myself in the mirror, I'm starting to doubt whether I'm really that ugly."

Jiang Ning smiled, went out to fetch a basin of hot water, and used a towel to carefully remove the makeup from her face.

Then I picked up the cosmetics on the table and started applying makeup.

There aren't many cosmetic products available now, and for someone like her who doesn't even flinch when holding a scalpel, applying makeup isn't difficult for Jiang Ning.

Li Xingyue has a delicate appearance, which suits her well with light makeup; the lighter the makeup, the better it suits her.

After finishing her makeup, Li Xingyue looked at herself in the mirror.

She could recognize herself, yet felt that something was different.

Li Xingyue sincerely praised, "Sister Jiang, you're amazing!"

Jiang Ning smiled and listened to the commotion outside. "Alright, the wedding party has arrived. We should go out now."

Just then, Sister Li, who had been busy outside, came in.

Looking at her daughter, who was clearly different, Sister Li was filled with astonishment.

Sister-in-law Li slapped her thigh and said, "My daughter looks so beautiful today, she must be the most beautiful bride."

Li Xingyue smiled shyly, "It's all thanks to Sister Jiang. She did my makeup."

"Thank you, Jiang Meizi!"

Sister-in-law Li thanked Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning waved her hand, and just then, the groom arrived to fetch his bride.

After overcoming some minor challenges, Huang Xiaodong successfully picked up his bride.

Since he can't buy a private car yet, Huang Xiaodong had a bicycle, and then borrowed more than a dozen bicycles from a bicycle shop to pick up his bride.

They gave us plenty of face.

Sister-in-law Li was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.

It was nearly 11:30 when Shen Mo finally took his wife and children to their seats.

The banquet was held at Rende Hall, and there was a large open space outside Dexing Hall. The open space was cleaned up and there were many tables set up.

The people who came to the wedding banquet all had smiles on their faces.

Jiang Ning watched with a smile on her face.
