Chapter 786: You should buy it.
When it came time to drink the tea and wine, the host was stumped. The groom's biological parents were nowhere to be seen, and the bride's elders were also nowhere to be seen. What should they do? Should they skip this part?
Lan Yan originally planned to send people from the Gu family up, but the Gu family was afraid that others would say they had forgotten their roots. In addition, since You Niannian's father was there, it was fine as long as there were elders present, so they didn't go up. As a result, now there is no one here. It's too unreliable!
"You two go up!" The old lady looked at Gu Qinglang and Li Mengxin and told them to go up.
The two nodded and stood up.
Lan Yan originally planned to cancel this procedure as well, but before she could even speak, she saw her godmother and godfather come up.
"I was so excited down there that I forgot the whole process! I knew it by heart yesterday and promised myself I wouldn't mess it up, but I still messed it up! Hahaha!" Gu Qinglang said with an embarrassed laugh as he went up.
Li Mengxin laughed and said, "It's the first child in the family getting married, so I was a little excited. Please forgive me, everyone!"
The people below laughed kindly: "It's alright, it's alright! We understand!"
"Exactly! We understand! Drink up! Come down and have a drink with us after you're done!"
Gu Qinglang waved his hand and sat down in the chair that had been prepared for him.
Lan Yan grinned as she looked at the two approaching people: "Dad, Mom!"
Li Mengxin smiled and patted his hand: "We can talk about it when we get back. Let's get the wedding done first."
Luckily, they had prepared red envelopes. They were worried that Mr. You wouldn't give them, and they wanted to avoid embarrassing the child. They never expected that they would actually need to use them!
After all the ceremonies were over, the newlyweds went to change into their wedding attire, as they would be toasting guests later.
Gu Yin and Chu Yan went along with them.
Several people were standing at the door of You Niannian's room. When they saw them coming, one of them immediately stepped forward and said, "Young Master Chu!"
Chu Yan nodded: "Is he inside?"
The man immediately nodded: "They're all there! Our people are inside guarding as well."
Upon hearing this, You Niannian pushed hard and saw that the three people were surrounded by several others.
"You Niannian! Look at these people! They're imprisoning us! We're soldiers and their families! This is illegal!" Madam You immediately stood up and scolded You Niannian as she entered.
You Niannian waved her hand, and those people left. Gu Yin and the others came in and closed the door behind them.
"Manager, tell me what exactly happened." You Niannian didn't look at Mrs. You, but sat down on the sofa and looked at the hotel manager.
The hotel manager looked at Chu Yan, and only spoke after Chu Yan nodded.
"If the hotel hosts a wedding banquet, we will pay special attention to the dressing room and lounge used by the bride and her family. In order not to affect the guests' experience, we usually do not appear. However, many guests forget to close the door after leaving, so we arrange people to patrol in case of any problems. Today, when the third team was patrolling, they saw this lady enter the newlyweds' room and take the bride's jewelry and put it on herself! Before the staff could ask her anything, she hurriedly took off the jewelry, but because she was too flustered, the jewelry fell to the ground and broke."
At this point, everyone looked at the jewelry necklace that had fallen to the ground, with the largest main stone, a ruby, falling out.
When Yu Niannian saw that everyone was looking at her, she hurriedly pulled her foot back and retreated behind Madam Yu.
"After the jewelry broke, the staff thought she had ill intentions, so they called me. When I arrived, I found it was Miss You, so I called Mr. and Mrs. You over. I thought they would handle the matter, but they actually said it was fine. The younger sister was wearing her older sister's jewelry, so it was fine if it broke. They said they could just replace it. I told them that each dress has different matching jewelry and it cannot be damaged. I asked them to contact Miss You to handle it together and see if they should replace it or have someone send it over. But they refused and kept trying to leave. I had to have someone stop them here and report to President Chu."
The manager took a step back after speaking.
You Niannian looked at You Niannian and chuckled, "You like these pieces of jewelry?"
You Niannian pursed her lips and remained silent. She hadn't intended to wear it; it was just that it was the first time she had seen such beautiful and luxurious jewelry, and she couldn't help but want to put it on. Who knew that those people would come over and startle her, causing her to lose her balance and break the jewelry.
But she dared not say it.
"Do you know how much these jewels cost?" You Niannian got up, picked up the necklace from the ground, and fiddled with it with a smile. Then, while putting it around You Niannian's neck, she said, "These are jewels worth tens of millions. If you like them, just tell me. It's just wearing them for a bit, I'd even give them to you as a gift. How could you steal them? You're the most favored young lady of the You family, what haven't you seen? How can you be so short-sighted?"
"Enough! Your sister was just curious and accidentally dropped it! Don't you have other jewelry in your jewelry box? I saw a lot of red ones too. The craftsmanship of this jewelry is poor, it wasn't set properly. I've also seen that jewelry, it just fell off. Tell me how much it will cost to re-set it, and I'll pay! There's no need to be so harsh! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Seeing that she was still so persistent, Mr. You immediately scolded her with a dark face.
"Meaningful? Meaningful? Hahaha, your own daughter is meaningless, your stepdaughter is a thief, you're not a good parent either, otherwise how could you raise such people? You should reflect on yourself! If you can't even teach your own children, how can you lead troops? I'll have to ask the leaders later!" Ayin, tell him the value of this necklace, I want to see if Mr. You can afford it! You Niannian looked at her father sarcastically.
Gu Yin chuckled upon hearing this: "The jewelry is worth 15 million. It's a loose stone that my grandmother bought at an auction. It was then designed and set by the world's most renowned master. The design and setting fees alone were 5 million. That was the price my grandmother paid for it more than ten years ago. But things are different now. That big shot has passed away, and his works are now collector's items with immeasurable value. It's impossible to restore the jewelry to its original state. The loose stone is currently worth 30 million. In my opinion, why don't you just make an offer and buy this necklace? We won't rip you off. If you give us 20 million, the jewelry is yours."
"20 million! You might as well rob us!" Mrs. You exclaimed in shock! If it weren't for the military housing allocation, they wouldn't be able to afford a house in Beijing based on Mr. You's salary! Let alone 20 million, they would have to scrape together 2 million from all sides!
