After the annual meeting ended, Shen Fang, Shen Kun, Zhong Xueer and their group rushed home, and it was already 29 years old.
Liu Yue'e and Shen Tianliang snorted when they saw their son return alone. They glanced at him sideways, their meaning clear: Why did you come back alone?
Shen Fang looked at his parents with a wry smile: "They're both busy, so it's enough that I'm back. If you want to see them, come back to Beijing with me after the New Year."
Liu Yue'e pouted: "We're the ones who aren't used to staying here."
"It's not like we're asking you to stay long-term, just for a couple of days."
Without saying anything more, he said, "Xiao Kun brought his girlfriend back."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue'e exclaimed excitedly, "Where? Where?"
"Of course it's Xiao Kun's house. You guys go take a look and give it your approval."
After saying that, Shen Fang went upstairs, changed into comfortable clothes, and arrived at Shen Kun's house.
By this time, the area in front of Shen Kun's house was already crowded with people who had come to join in the fun. At this moment, Shen Kun's mother was holding Zhong Xue'er's hand, chatting and asking about her well-being. Zhong Xue'er answered shyly in a low voice.
Shen Kun, standing to the side, was naturally handing out cigarettes everywhere, his face beaming with a smile. He had found a girlfriend who was perfect in looks, education, and job, so naturally he wanted to show her off.
"Xiao Kun, you're something else. You brought back such a good girl without saying a word."
"Xiao Kun, that's great! An international student, and a doctor at that. This is a good job. A nurse in white."
"Xiao Kun, you've really hit the jackpot! When are we going to your wedding banquet?"
"Xiao Kun..."
The good wife came home and showed off to her heart's content. Shen Kun kept the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes in his hand, one pack after another. In no time, 10 packs were gone.
Shen Kun's mother, with a smile that looked like she was about to bite someone, stuffed a red envelope as thick as a brick into Zhong Xue'er's pocket.
Zhong Xue'er naturally refused, but Shen Kun's mother insisted on giving it to her. The two of them pushed and shoved each other until it ended up in Zhong Xue'er's pocket.
Afterwards, a banquet was naturally held. Since Shen Kun's father had passed away, the meal was naturally attended by the elders. Several uncles and great-grandfathers were invited, and then Shen Fang's family joined them.
Shen Kun's mother was busy in the kitchen, a smile on her face.
"Alright, look at you, you're being way too enthusiastic."
Shen Kun's mother looked at Liu Yue'e and said, "Auntie, look at what you're saying. Xiao Kun's father died early, and I raised him with great difficulty, changing his diapers and feeding him. It wasn't easy. Xiao Kun has become rich thanks to his great-uncle, but there's still no news about his marriage. This is a thorn in my side. Our family is a single-parent family, so it's not easy for him to find a wife. Now, he finally has a chance to get married. Even if I die, I can give the old man some peace of mind."
"Pah, pah, pah! It's the New Year, and you're saying such things to a new bride who's coming to visit."
At this moment, Shen Kun's mother's eyes closed, and Liu Yue'e quickly comforted her: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Shen Kun happened to come in at that moment. Seeing his mother crying, he thought something had happened and quickly came over to ask, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Shen Kun's mother wiped away her tears and patted her son's head: "It's okay, Mom is just happy. Son, you're finally going to have a home. I'm so happy."
"Alright, stop crying. We're waiting for you to cook. Everyone's here. How long are you going to keep crying? Several of our uncles and elders are here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Kun's mother quickly wiped away her tears and began chopping vegetables and cooking with great efficiency.
These elders cannot be neglected. We invited them here today for three reasons: first, to let them take a look and give their approval; second, since Shen Kun's father is not here, his uncles will come to help when he gets married; and third, their family has received a lot of help from the elders, and now that Shen Kun is about to settle down and start a family, we want to let the elders see him.
The banquet was a resounding success, making Zhong Xue'er feel right at home. She was naturally treated with great respect; the food prepared by Shen Kun's mother was so plentiful it almost overflowed the table. Lobster, abalone, king crab, sea cucumber, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall—everything of the finest and most expensive was served, a veritable feast of fresh seafood. It was an incredibly lavish affair.
The parents of both sides met, and the marriage was basically settled. Originally, Shen Kun's mother was planning to go to Beijing to meet Zhong Xue'er's parents and discuss the bride price. However, Shen Kun waved his hand, saying that it had already been discussed and that they would get married before Zhong Xue'er started school next March, and then Shen Kun would go with her for their honeymoon.
The New Year passed quickly, and it's now March 18th, an auspicious day.
The richest man, the Sheraton Hotel.
Dressed in a red groom's suit, he was followed by the Penguin Seven Brothers, Huang Fulai, Chen Jinfei, He Chaoqiong, Xu Xin, and all the artists from Longteng.
The media was immediately drawn to the scene, with 88 Mercedes-Benz cars parked outside the hotel, followed by a white Rolls-Royce. Curious onlookers from Chaoyang District gathered, eager to see who was getting married and how could they be so extravagant.
When reporters saw Shen Kun carrying Zhong Xueer on his back, followed by the Penguin Seven Brothers, Huang Fulai, Chen Jinfei, He Chaoqiong, Xu Xin, and other big names who are usually only seen on TV, as well as Longteng's leading lady serving as bridesmaids and groomsmen, the crowd erupted in excitement. The combined net worth of everyone present was unimaginable.
The sea and sky blend seamlessly with the Xishan coastline. Sixty-six tables were set up, and most of the attendees were from Shenjia Village, along with some of Shen Kun's business associates, and the rest were there to support Shen Fang.
CEOs from media companies such as Huayi, Zhouyi, Bona, Tangren, and Rongxinda all came to offer their congratulations.
The background music started playing.
Shen Fang made a cameo appearance as the host.
"Today is the wedding of two newlyweds. Xiao Kun, my grandson, is two years older than me. Although we are of the same generation, we are practically like brothers. He has worked hard with me for many years, and it has paid off. He has established himself. He is 28 this year and has finally started his own family. Today, all the guests here are friends, relatives, elders, and family members. Here, I would like to give the newlyweds a gift."
