Chapter 38 You Can't Get Married

38 You can't marry her

Jiang Jianni wore a fitted bright red wool coat that reached below her knees, over which she wore a pale yellow turtleneck sweater and light blue flared jeans, with only the tips of her toes showing in high-heeled leather shoes.

Yang Yuemei bought a beautiful rose-patterned headscarf, which she used as a scarf to tie around her neck in a rose shape the size of a fist. Her chest-length hair was styled into large waves and simply draped over her shoulders.

It doesn't look like a wedding; it looks like a calendar girl who stepped out of a calendar.

Lu Xiangyang, who was standing next to her, was equally impressive.

She wore a fitted wool coat that reached below the knee, with a white shirt and a camel-colored V-neck wool sweater underneath. She also wore light blue jeans, but with the cuffs rolled up, and leather shoes.

He was already tall and handsome, and this makeover further enhanced his appearance and demeanor.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu almost didn't recognize their son.

Lu's mother couldn't help but rub her eyes: "Xiangyang, he wasn't like this when he left, was he?"

Lu Xiangyang was wearing a military uniform when he set off for the Jiang family.

Unexpectedly, they changed their clothes when they arrived at the Jiang family's residence.

Dad Lu usually doesn't care about food or clothing, but Mom Lu secretly did some mental calculations and started to gasp.

My son's clothes aren't cheap.

In total, it'll probably come to several hundred.

Fashion-conscious young people, however, focused their attention on the couple's clothes:

"Where did they buy their clothes? I've never seen them before."

"I've never seen it either."

"I bought a wool coat too, but it looks completely different from everyone else's."

"Yeah, me too, but I always feel like I'm dressed like a mutt. I thought everyone was dressed the same, but why do other people look like models from magazines?"

At this moment, not only woolen coats, but also sweaters, pants and shoes, were being worn by several young people who were secretly planning to get a set like them.

—If you still don't like it, come ask the newlyweds.

It couldn't possibly be the fault of these young and beautiful people; it must be the clothes' fault.

The parents of both families escorted the newlyweds into the hotel.

Fan Junshan couldn't help but curl his lip upon seeing this, and whispered to Yang Yuezhi, "Jiang Jianni just found a firefighter? I thought it was some impressive in-laws, but it turns out it's nothing special?"

Thinking of that invitation filled me with jealousy and disgust: "The conditions aren't great, but they're so arrogant. They even copied others by sending out invitations. I bet they just want money as a gift."

"How much dowry did your eldest sister ask for from the Lu family?"

Yang Yuezhi shook her head: "My older sister didn't tell me, so I don't know either."

Fan Junshan sneered: "I don't think there are many, maybe none."

"I heard that the groom booked the restaurant, which had a maximum of five or six tables, and they served Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes."

"I'm afraid they've spent all their money on these superficial things."

"If you ask me, your eldest sister is just ignorant and indecisive."

"When marrying off a daughter, it's only right to ask for a larger dowry..."

Jiang Jiani's fifth aunt, Yang Hongying, couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Second brother-in-law, I remember your Meiling and eldest sister's Haiyang are the same age, eighteen, right? They'll be taking the college entrance exam next year. How's Meiling's studying going? Are you confident about getting into university?"

Fan Junshan's face stiffened: "Why are you bringing up Meiling at Jiani's wedding?"

Yang Hongying said with a smile, "I just thought that Meiling has always been a good student and would definitely get into university."

"Second brother-in-law, didn't you say that college students have high net worth?"

"When Meiling graduates from university and gets married, how much dowry do you plan to ask for from the man?"

"Five years from now will be very different from now. Now you can get married for two or three thousand or four thousand, but by the time Meiling gets married, it will cost at least thirty or forty thousand, right?"

“But brother-in-law, you have high standards. I don’t think three or four hundred thousand is too much.”

Fan Junshan's face was practically frozen.

He knew that his sister-in-law and Jiang Jiani were close, but he didn't expect her to take revenge for Jiang Jiani on the spot.

Three or four hundred thousand?

Yang Hongying really dares to speak her mind.

If he dared to ask for that amount of bride price, he would probably be criticized by everyone for selling his daughter.

Grandpa Yang glanced at his second son-in-law indifferently and said, "This is Jia Ni's wedding, don't say such nonsense."

Grandpa Yang was very authoritative; as soon as he spoke, Fan Junshan immediately dared not utter another word.

Yang Hongying winked at her father with a grin, then looked at Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang standing in front.

The two are introducing their love story in response to questions from the emcee.

When they heard that they had actually gone on blind dates with other people but were not satisfied, they went on blind dates on their own, the audience burst into laughter.

Jiang Jianni said frankly, "Yes, you didn't expect that, did you?"

"Lu Xiangyang, a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an upright appearance, actually told me, a woman, on our first meeting that it doesn't matter who you go on a blind date with, so why don't we go on another one?"

"To be honest, not only were you surprised, but I was also very surprised at the time."

"I thought I had run into some thugs and was thinking about how to get away."

She gestured to show the height difference between the two of them: "He's so tall, and I'm this tall, and I'm also so pretty, so you really can't blame me for overthinking, right?"

"Yes~~~" xN

The young people cheered loudly and applauded enthusiastically.

Lu Xiangyang looked helplessly at this wicked guy.

Who exactly said, "What's wrong with meeting again?"

How could this guy be so blatantly distorting the truth and deliberately smearing him?

The emcee then asked Lu Xiangyang, who readily admitted, "It was love at first sight."

"The moment I saw her, I knew she was the one."

That's why I stopped her on the street and asked her if we could meet again.

Jiang Jianni was taken aback.

Although Lu Xiangyang was just going along with what she said, his attitude and tone when he said "love at first sight" made her feel that Lu Xiangyang had indeed fallen in love with her at first sight.

No way, really?

Recalling how quickly the two of them got married after watching just one movie, Jiang Jianni suddenly felt that she could give this guy a good interrogation later.

Just as the ring was about to be put on, someone suddenly pushed open the closed restaurant door and shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Jiang's mother looked back and exclaimed in surprise, "Fang Shuying? Wasn't she studying abroad? Why is she suddenly back? Do Lao Fang and Lao Su know?"

"No, it's Xiangyang's wedding, why would she cause trouble?"

Jiang Jianni looked towards the doorway.

At the entrance stood a beautiful girl, equally stylish and radiant, also wearing a white trench coat.

The girl strode up to him, looking at Lu Xiangyang with a heartbroken and desperate expression, tears welling up in her eyes before she could speak: "Brother Xiangyang, you can't marry her!!"
