"Cheng Guangxu, you really dare to say that!"
"Hehe. I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Zhang Hongmei smiled broadly. "You're absolutely right. You're absolutely correct."
This time, Cai Peilin didn't follow Cheng Guangxu's foolish path. Looking at the goddess-like Zhang Hongmei, she felt that this was how she should be. In her mind, Zhang Hongmei was a divine being. She was omnipotent. This kind of attire suited her best.
At that moment, Wang Xinyi's door opened, and Zhao Tiancheng rushed over, faster than a young man.
The lady who delivered the wedding dress was also stunned. She hadn't expected the dress to fit the foreign woman so perfectly, as if it had been tailor-made for her. It was absolutely perfect, requiring no alterations. The only thing that bothered her was that the woman was covering her chest with her hands.
Zhang Hongmei, holding up her skirt with both hands, also walked to Wang Xinyi's side.
"Aunt Wang, you are so beautiful."
Wang Xinyi looked up and saw Zhao Tiancheng staring blankly at her. She smiled.
Zhang Hongmei followed Wang Xinyi's gaze and saw Zhao Tiancheng's expression. She chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhao, even if you think Aunt Wang isn't pretty, you don't have to be so dazed, do you?"
Zhao Tiancheng only came to his senses after hearing Zhang Hongmei's words. "Hongmei, you've misunderstood. I was stunned by your Aunt Wang's beauty. She will soon be my wife. I feel incredibly fortunate and proud."
"Hehe, Mr. Zhao's eloquence is truly remarkable."
The local ladies couldn't understand what they were saying, but judging from their expressions, they seemed very satisfied, and the little girl's dress was also perfect.
She took a piece of paper out of her bag and handed it to Zhao Tiancheng. "Sir, if you are satisfied, please sign here."
Zhao Tiancheng took it, quickly signed it, and handed it back.
Zeng Zhongkang saw her out. After all, he was the only one in the house who could understand anything. The other three were having a happy chat, and the remaining two were out of the question. They were experts in academics, but a bit clueless in life.
"Aunt Wang, you are so beautiful. Mr. Zhao, could you find a camera? Such a wonderful moment should be captured."
"Of course I have it, I'll go get it right away." Zhao Tiancheng quickly returned to his bedroom, still regretting that he hadn't thought of this good idea.
"Hongmei, do I look good in this outfit? I think the neckline is too low."
“I think so too, but if you wear a veil, its length should be enough to cover you up. If not, we can find a shawl. But we don’t have this kind of veil, so it would be hard to find a match. Let me put the veil on you and let you try it on.”
The two returned to Wang Xinyi's room, where Zhang Hongmei combed her hair to the top of her head and covered it with a veil.
"Aunt Wang, I think it's working well. Would you like to take a look?"
Wang Xinyi looked at herself in the mirror, but she was still not satisfied.
"What? Still not good enough? Why don't you leave your hair down and just let two strands fall over your shoulders, then we can try again."
Zhao Tiancheng excitedly grabbed his camera and came out, but his goddess was nowhere to be seen.
Zeng Zhongkang offered to clarify, "Ms. Wang and the others have gone into the room. You can wait a little longer."
Wang Xinyi looked at the results and reluctantly accepted them. Her hair could cover part of it, and the veil had some effect. That was about it.
Zeng Zhongkang suddenly put the camera on the coffee table, ran back to his room, and came out with two wooden boxes a short while later.
At this moment, Wang Xinyi and the other girl also came out.
"Xinyi, Hongmei, you two come here. These are pieces of jewelry that my grandmother left me. Do you like them?"
Zhang Hongmei didn't stand on ceremony. She opened the box and saw a set of mutton fat jade jewelry. The other set she opened was a complete set of emeralds.
"Aunt Wang, do you think this outfit is okay? The wedding dress is white. If I wear jade jewelry with it, it won't look very good."
Wang Xinyi glanced at it and felt that this emerald green set was the only option.
"Hongmei, what kind of jewelry are you wearing? I have some in my room too, shall we go and pick some out?"
"No need to bother, I'm still young, wearing jewelry wouldn't suit me or look good. This is fine as it is."
"How can you go without jewelry? Come on, I'll show you some."
"Really, Aunt Wang, it's not necessary. What kind of weather would you want to see me wearing jewelry? I really don't like it."
"Hehe, you two don't need to argue anymore. This set of mutton fat jade was originally a gift from me to Hongmei, so you can wear this one."
"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Zhao, but I really don't need or want to wear jewelry."
Seeing Zhang Hongmei's insistence, Wang Xinyi didn't say anything more. She knew Zhang Hongmei's temper, and besides, she really hadn't seen the girl wear anything other than a watch.
"Hehe. Even if you don't want to wear it, I'll still give it to you. Don't refuse, it's a gift from your uncle."
"Hehe, you really can't accept it. You should keep it. To be honest, I have a lot of jewelry. Giving it to me would just leave it to collect dust."
In the end, Zhang Hongmei refused to accept it. Why take someone else's things?
Just then, Zeng Zhongkang heard the door open and stood up to see Zhao Hao walking in.
He saw two beautiful women dressed in white in the living room, and they were so stunning that he couldn't take his eyes off them.
"Aunt Wang, Zhang Hongmei, you two are so beautiful."
Both ladies smiled reservedly. They did not answer him.
"Haozheng, have you taken care of everything?"
"Everything's taken care of, Dad. Don't worry."
"Okay, you should change into your formal attire too. Let's take some photos at home first."
"Xinyi, Hongmei, you two go first. My photography skills are pretty good."
Zhao Tiancheng felt that his hand couldn't stop pressing the shutter button.
"Mr. Zhao, could you please take a solo photo of me?" Zhang Hongmei wanted to show Zhang Shouyi and Gu Chuanming, to reassure them that she was doing well there, and also partly out of vanity, wanting Zhang Shouyi to see her in a formal suit.
Another round of shooting ensued. Until Zhao Haozheng came out and took the camera, all the remaining photos were either individual shots of Wang Xinyi or group photos with Zhao Tiancheng.
Looking at Wang Xinyi's happy smile, Zhang Hongmei was genuinely happy for her.
Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin did not return to their rooms, but instead sat in the living room studying with a book in their hands.
Zeng Zhongkang looked at the abnormal people in the room. He felt fortunate that he hadn't been assimilated by them and was still the same person he used to be.
Lunch was limited to simple boiled noodles, since both ladies were still wearing their formal attire. The boys all knew how to cook, but none of them dared to volunteer. It wasn't laziness, but rather a fear of losing their skills.
