A perfect match.
She stared, stunned.
Her eyes were slightly red.
With her back to the main room, Sister-in-law Lu noticed her mother-in-law's eyes were red and immediately panicked, "Mom, why are you crying again?"
Isn't it a good thing that my brother-in-law is coming back?
Why is my mother-in-law crying again?
Lu Rong wiped away her tears, "Seeing your sister-in-law and your brother makes me happy."
Sister-in-law Lu belatedly realized what was happening, and when she turned around, she saw the two of them standing side by side at the door to greet guests.
She only saw their profiles, and smacked her lips, "These two are so good-looking, even better than the people in the magazines. I never noticed before. Wanyue is so beautiful, and her brother-in-law is handsome too. They're a perfect match."
Although her eldest son is handsome, she can't quite describe the kind of handsomeness her younger brother-in-law has. It's an inner charm that radiates from within. But Wanyue is no less handsome than him. Their inner and outer charisma makes them a perfect match.
Standing together, the sight of them was so beautiful it was almost purifying.
She and Lu Rong were head to head, their eyes fixed on the door.
Qiao Wanyue and Lu Yunzhou were unaware of their gazes. The two were greeting guests, as Lu Yunzhou's return was a major event, and many people were coming and going.
Seeing the two people at the door, he couldn't help but laugh. These people were all cultured, and their words were roundabout and their compliments were very literary. Lu Yunzhou was not used to such language.
But Qiao Wanyue, used to it, could also reply in a more literary style.
When encountering cultured people, Qiao Wanyue took the lead in dealing with them on Lu Yunzhou's behalf.
After welcoming the two leaders inside, Lu Yunzhou whispered in her ear, "Thank goodness you were here, otherwise I wouldn't have understood anything."
Qiao Wanyue knew that he was praising her.
To be able to earn seven First-Class Merits and seven Second-Class Merits, achieving in his twenties what others could never attain in a lifetime, even without an impressive academic background, demonstrates that his courage and knowledge are top-notch.
How could someone like that be afraid of these intellectuals?
She certainly wouldn't belittle herself, saying, "Working together as a couple makes the work easier."
Lu Yunzhou felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
Before they could exchange more than a few words, other people arrived outside.
The couple stood at the doorway again.
At noon, the banquet began.
Lu Yunzhou and Qiao Wanyue sat at separate tables for men and women. The separation wasn't for the purpose of assigning main seats, but mainly because it was inconvenient for some female leaders to sit at the men's table. The men's table was provided with cigarettes and alcohol, while the women's table was much simpler, with drinks and melon seeds.
Qiao Wanyue chatted with them, about everything under the sun, not just about family matters, but more about Qiao Wanyue's schooling and how the people attending the banquet were all quite old.
The news of Qiao Wanyue's admission to university also reached their ears, and they all wanted to learn from her experience on how to get into university. They all had children in their families, and if they didn't want to go to Peking University, they wanted to at least go to Lin University.
The Lu family prepared a very substantial meal, more affordable than what most people would have for a wedding. Since Lu Yunzhou had come back to life, and the two hadn't been able to hold their wedding banquet before, they decided to hold it together today.
There were twelve plates, eight large bowls, and a number of candies.
The dishes used were all high-quality, including braised pork knuckle and braised pork belly – all hearty dishes.
Although life has improved and we can enjoy the wonderful life of eating meat at every meal, even for weddings, few people are willing to make such a lavish meal.
Everyone ate to their heart's content.
Lu Rong said there was more if that wasn't enough.
But then, an uninvited guest arrived.
When Lu Yunzhou and Qiao Wanyue were toasting, they discovered that Old Lady Yang was eating heartily with Zhong Qingqing and Yang Lin at a table outside the door.
Lu Yunzhou frowned subconsciously.
This person was not on his guest list.
Moreover, when he "died," the Yang family added fuel to the fire, and even when his mother was paying respects to him, the Yang family tried to seize the house, almost causing the death of his sister-in-law.
Qiao Shanshan spread the news that he would die everywhere. Although he didn't believe it, he was still extremely disgusted by it.
