Shi Heng's fingers paused slightly on the folder.
He clearly remembered that Gu Youran only prepared three gifts for his grandmother and his parents.
At this moment, the folder that was suddenly handed to him made his heart beat violently.
"For me?"
Gu Youran didn't answer, but just signaled him to open it with her eyes.
Shi Heng took a deep breath and slowly opened the folder.
The first line reads: Xuelan Country Aurora Glass House, estimated at 380 million.
Shi Yining suddenly popped his head out from behind him. "Oh my god! Isn't this the hardest aurora viewing spot in the world to book? I heard the reservations are booked up to three years in the future."
Gu Youran explained, "It was transferred to him by a patient who was cured of depression last year. He said that when he saw the aurora there, he finally found the courage to live."
"Sixteen top-tier properties spread across nine countries. In addition to the Aurora House in Xuelan Country, there are three private islands, five urban landmark towers, and seven resort estates. A joint valuation by the four major banks puts the total assets at 18.8 billion."
Shi Heng's voice was very soft, but it made the surroundings quiet down instantly.
The crystal glass in Shi Zhengfeng's hand slammed to the ground, splashing champagne all over the floor.
His face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
"You..." He stared at Gu Youran.
He never expected that this woman whom he despised actually possessed such amazing wealth.
Those numbers were like slaps in his face.
Gu Youran took out another document and handed it to Shi Heng. "This is a detailed list of music copyrights and investment returns. You will be responsible for managing them from now on."
She added: "In fact, the money I've earned from investing over the years is 30% more than my income from singing."
The old lady came over with a cane, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. "Second brother, now you know what 'real people don't show their true colors' means, right?"
Shi Zhengfeng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Amidst everyone's mocking gazes, he turned and left in embarrassment, forgetting even to take his coat.
Shi Heng pulled Gu Youran into his arms, and gently lifted her chin with his slender fingers. "Mrs. Shi, how many secrets are you hiding from me? Hmm?"
The ending of his tone rose, carrying a hint of danger.
Gu Youran's face flushed instantly, "I..."
Shi Heng suddenly lowered his head and pecked her on the lips. "If you lie, you will be punished by the family rules tonight."
Gu Youran buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "Actually... there's another secret. It's in a box on the dresser, waiting for you to open it tonight. You'll definitely like this gift even more."
Shi Heng chuckled and tightened his arms, "Oh? Are you so sure I will like it?"
Gu Youran raised her head and looked him straight in the eyes. "Well, I promise you will be ecstatic."
Her eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars.
Shi Heng looked at her serious expression and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He suddenly had an urge to go back and see the mysterious gift immediately.
At this moment, Tao Nianwan came over and said, "You should go back to your room and rest for a while. The wedding ceremony will be held on the top floor of the group at 4:30 in the afternoon."
Shi Heng nodded, "Okay, let's go now."
He turned to Gu Youran and said in a low voice, "I'll interrogate you properly tonight."
Gu Youran blushed and pinched him, "Stop messing around, we have something important to do."
Tao Nianwan explained with a smile, "We've only invited less than fifty people to the afternoon ceremony, all of whom are our closest family members. The rest of the friends and guests will be at the banquet at the Emperor Club at 6:30."
Shi Heng held Gu Youran's fingers together and took her away calmly.
This arrangement of streamlining the number of guests was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but was carefully considered.
He had a vague feeling that something might happen on the wedding day, so by diverting the guests, he could at least ensure the safety of the core ceremony.
"This is a good arrangement." Gu Youran whispered in his ear, gently scratching his palm with her fingertips.
She had known his concerns for a long time.
Just as they turned to leave, Su Manyun and Shi Jue, who were standing in the corner, stared at their backs.
The gentle smile on Su Manyun's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by unconcealable resentment.
Shi Jue gritted his teeth and almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.
The two men's sinister gazes followed Shi Heng and Gu Youran until their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor.
…
At 3:50 p.m., three wedding cars stopped in front of the Shi Group Building.
The door of the first car opened, Shi Heng stretched out his long legs, turned to the other side, and carefully helped Gu Youran out.
Her pure white wedding dress was covered with crystals and sparkled in the sunlight.
"Be careful on the steps." Shi Heng reminded softly while adjusting her veil.
In the second car, Shi Yining jumped out while holding up the hem of her skirt. Her wedding dress was of simple style, with three-dimensional flowers embroidered on the hem.
"Si Wenjie! Stop dawdling!" She turned back and urged, the diamonds on her veil sparkling with her movements.
Si Wenjie trotted over, holding the wedding program in his hand, "You can walk so fast in such a heavy wedding dress..."
Lina and Renault got out of the third car.
Her mermaid wedding dress outlined her perfect curves. Renault was helping her fix her loose headpiece. "Is this more comfortable?"
Immediately afterwards, three more cars stopped, and Shi Zhengyang and Tao Nianwan supported Old Mrs. Shi.
Following behind were Su Manyun, Shi Jue, and Shi Zhengfeng's family of three.
Everyone took the special elevator directly to the 111th floor.
The elevator door slowly opened, and the scene before them shocked everyone.
Thousands of lavender everlasting flowers were suspended in the air, emitting a dreamy halo under special lights.
