Generally speaking, the bride and groom do not meet on the day before their wedding.
However, neither Gu Wei nor the Zhou family had many taboos, so it didn't matter to them.
After introducing Gu Wei to some relatives and friends he had never met before, Zhou's parents immediately asked to see their marriage certificate.
Zhou Wenyi took it out of her bag with a sweet smile and handed it out, saying, "Look, look."
Zhou's mother took the marriage certificate, looked at it with delight, and praised, "Daughter, you two look really good in this photo."
Mr. Zhou also received another copy. He squinted and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think it looks even better than those photos of celebrities wearing white shirts."
Zhou Wenyi smiled brightly and met Gu Wei's gaze, then said confidently, "Of course, we are all naturally beautiful and haven't had any plastic surgery, unlike some celebrities who have even had their teeth done."
Gu Wei couldn't help but laugh. This was quite a broad issue; there were probably very few celebrities in the entertainment industry who hadn't had braces.
Zhou's mother laughed helplessly and scolded, "You, you don't know how to be humble at all."
Zhou Wenyi stuck out her tongue. "That's obviously it."
After chatting for a while, Gu Wei had many things to attend to and soon said goodbye and left.
Zhou Wenyi and her mother went back to their rooms to change clothes, planning to go to a beauty salon for a spa treatment later.
Mr. Zhou stayed in the living room without moving, confirming some arrangements for tomorrow with someone.
Several relatives and friends gathered together and began to comment on Gu Wei.
"The young man is indeed good-looking, but his circumstances... even if he runs a successful restaurant, he's still far behind the Zhou family!"
"Who can argue with that? But it's understandable; young people all like to date good-looking people, but they don't seem to realize that good looks can put food on the table."
"Speaking of running a restaurant, I remember someone who was doing really well in the catering business, even bigger than this young man. Then he contracted a landscaping project, but the project payments were slow to come in, so he had to pay for it himself. Eventually, his company went bankrupt, and he was in debt for tens of millions. He ended up selling grilled sausages at a night market..."
"Yes, yes, I remember now. So, if we lose money in business in the future, we might have to rely on my wife's family..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou angrily slammed his teacup down on the coffee table, making a loud noise. "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
The faces of the people who had just spoken up were rather unpleasant.
"Old Zhou, look at your temper. We're just worried about your family."
"Yes, if we weren't relatives, who would say such things! We've watched Wenyi grow up, and everyone hoped she would marry well! But in the end, she found someone..."
Mr. Zhou frowned and said firmly, "The two children have already registered their marriage, and tomorrow is their wedding day. It's a done deal. Instead of saying something nice to congratulate them, is it appropriate for you to keep nagging like this? Besides, I'm making this clear today: even if my son-in-law loses money in business in the future, I, as his father-in-law, will support him unconditionally! It's just money, isn't it? We're not short of money!"
In an instant, the living room fell silent.
Many people feel like they've been transported to Versailles!
And there's no way to refute it.
Because the Zhou family were the recipients of land expropriation compensation, they were indeed wealthy and powerful.
Zhou Wenyi, who had changed into a casual outfit and was coming downstairs, overheard her father's words. Moved to tears, she ran up behind him and hugged him tightly.
"Dad! You're so wonderful! I love you so much!"
Mr. Zhou was extremely embarrassed by his daughter's sudden confession, but he felt very warm inside.
He patted Zhou Wenyi's hand affectionately, "It's only right that Dad is good to you, since you're our precious daughter."
Moreover, it seems that Gu Wei is indeed very good to his daughter, and the elders are willing to extend their love to her and make selfless sacrifices.
Gu Wei was unaware of his father-in-law's strong defense of him.
After arranging the wedding preparations for tomorrow, he also took the opportunity to travel back to the 1980s.
The forest area has already experienced several snowfalls, and everywhere exudes a desolate and wintery atmosphere.
Gu Jianguo and the others could sense that Gu Wei had been very busy lately, and occasionally showed a complicated expression.
The three of them also discussed and analyzed it privately.
I thought he was troubled by business matters or missed his girlfriend who was studying abroad.
After all, long-distance relationships are tough enough for couples in love, but international relationships take it to an even greater level.
How could one not feel excruciating pain?
Therefore, Gu Jianguo specially prepared a table of fine wine and dishes to appease Gu Wei.
I never dreamed that Gu Wei would marry Zhou Wenyi tomorrow.
Gu Wei saw everything but couldn't reveal the truth, which made him quite uncomfortable.
But then I thought, this is just a temporary cover-up. When the time is right, I can show them the photos and share the joy of getting married and having children, and then I'll feel relieved...
The next day, December 25th, the 28th day of the 11th lunar month, was Christmas Day, and also the wedding day of Gu Wei and Zhou Wenyi.
The weather was perfect, with clear skies and sunshine.
From the moment Gu Wei woke up in the morning until he set off with his groomsmen and convoy to pick up the bride from the Zhou family, he received all the green lights along the way.
Everything went so smoothly.
Soon, the door-blocking segment began.
After stuffing several red envelopes into his hand, he finally managed to get the door of the villa open.
Gu Wei also saw Zhou's parents and Zhou Wenbo, who were clearly dressed up more carefully than yesterday.
Both father and son were dressed in sharp suits.
Zhou's mother wore a brightly colored cheongsam, her hair was styled in an updo, she wore light makeup, and she accessorized with teardrop-shaped earrings, a jade necklace, and a jade bracelet, exuding elegance and nobility.
