The next morning, as soon as the sun peeked over the horizon, the military dependents' area came alive with activity.
Two golden dragons leaped and tumbled in the sunlight, while the lions made various playful movements to the rhythm of the drums, drawing cheers from the onlookers.
In the past, the military advocated frugality and weddings were usually simple. It was rare to see a team like this, which hired dragon and lion dance troupes.
Many people came out of their homes and stood by the roadside to watch the spectacle.
The children chased after the dragon and lion dancers, while the adults gathered in twos and threes, discussing the performance with a hint of envy.
It was almost noon, and the lion dance troupe was about to greet Lin Yao and head to the auditorium.
Lin Yao touched up her makeup in the room, looked herself over in the mirror, and then spoke to Xu Zao in a commanding tone.
"Zao'er, could you bring me that red sweater dress, the one with the short sleeves? I need to change into it!"
These past few days, the Xu family has been groveling before Lin Yao, serving her with utmost deference and politeness. Xu Zao, in particular, has been like a maid, running around doing everything for her, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.
But at this moment, Xu Zao paused for a moment and stammered.
"Sister-in-law, that shirt looked a bit dirty, so I washed it for you last night and hung it out to dry in the backyard. It's still not dry!"
She twisted the hem of her clothes between her fingers, her eyes darting away.
"I just wanted to show you, and you took it upon yourself to wash it! That was the most fashionable piece of clothing my brother brought back! It's in high demand in Huacheng! I was thinking of wearing it to the ceremony!"
Lin Yao was a little unhappy, but knowing that today was a joyous day, she waved her hand and said.
"Never mind, the ceremony is more important. Could you get me the other red dress?"
After saying that, he scolded Xu Zao with a stern face.
"Don't touch my clothes anymore, understand?!"
"Okay, I got it."
Xu Zao answered this, but her eyes darted around, and she didn't know what she was thinking before turning around to get her skirt.
Soon, Lin Yao changed into her new clothes. In the mirror, she looked exceptionally beautiful in a red dress.
On the way to the auditorium, she deliberately asked the drivers to take a detour and play music in front of Zhou Qiqi's house for a while, just to annoy Zhou Qiqi.
But to their surprise, after playing the flute for a long time, there was still no response from inside.
Qiu Chunfang, who was standing next to her, rolled her eyes and said.
"She knew you were going to lose face today, so she left early with the kids and those two lackeys!"
"Wouldn't that be showing off for nothing?"
Lin Yao muttered something, but looking at Zhou Qiqi's tightly closed door, she couldn't help but feel smug.
"I guess she's afraid that seeing the scale of my wedding will make her heartbroken and bring her to tears!"
In her opinion, Shen Huaichuan didn't even give Zhou Qiqi a wedding, and he treated her no better than that. Now that she has such a glamorous wedding, she can be considered to have won against her this time.
