"Mom, I also saw the movie posters they made, they're really beautiful. I think a lot of people will like them."
"It's good that someone likes it!"
"Mom, I think being a director is great too. Everyone has to follow his lead."
"Heh, is that so? But how many people can he command? Your father can command all the family's employees. The president can command hundreds of millions of people in the entire country."
"Yes, Mom, you don't need to worry. My dream hasn't changed."
"Then Mom can rest assured, Annie has really grown up."
Back home, I started checking the list again. Some of the names were government officials, and some were from prominent families. I couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
After verifying everything was correct, I felt relieved. I ate the fruit platter the maid brought me. Getting married really is exhausting.
Carlos returned in the evening. Zhang Hongmei reported to him on the inspections she had conducted that day.
"Thank you, Hongmei. It's because of you, my mother, and me that we can feel so relaxed."
Zhang Hongmei waved her hand, thinking to herself, "You should hurry up and get married, it's really exhausting."
The day finally arrived, and the whole family got up very early. The three ladies and Beth went straight to church.
There were many people attending the wedding, and Wyatt, as a business partner, naturally took on the role of best man.
"Carlos, I thought you wouldn't give up?"
"Heh, what good will it do if we don't give up? We won't get any response anyway."
After Carlos finished speaking, neither of them said anything more. The car was somewhat silent.
“Carlos, I can’t hold on much longer either. I know I can’t win Zhang Hongmei’s heart, so my family has already started looking for another wife for me.”
Wyatt finished speaking and lowered his head. "Actually, getting married isn't so bad."
Finally, they picked up the bride. The church wedding was exceptionally grand, and there wasn't enough room inside for all the guests. Some people even stood outside the church.
The ceremony lasted about an hour. Only then did I go to the hotel and double-check everything with the manager before I was truly relieved.
Annie followed behind Zhang Hong, and seeing how busy her mother was, she felt that she had learned something as well.
Now we can sit down and rest. By the time the banquet starts, there shouldn't be anything else to do.
With Zhang Hongmei's help, Huang Meihua felt particularly relaxed. The girl took care of all the errands.
At 5 p.m., the bride and groom finally arrived at the hotel, and a waiter immediately led them to the hotel.
Zhang Hongmei felt that the bride also needed to change clothes, so she specially booked a large room.
"Mom, here's some water. You're too tired, you should rest."
"Yes, thank you, baby. Mommy is really thirsty."
By this time, people had started to arrive one after another.
Zhang Hongmei stood beside Huang Meihua with a smile throughout the entire process.
You still have to greet them. Say hello. Basically, it's like being a robot. This time, the photographer and videographer are the same ones from last time, so they have a lot of shots focused on Zhang Hongmei.
Zhang Shouyi was overjoyed to learn of Carlos McKen's marriage. He even generously agreed that Zhang Hongmei didn't need to write to him if she was busy these past few days.
With more and more guests arriving, the person in charge of receiving gifts felt overwhelmed, receiving so many that their hands were sore from carrying them all.
This was the wedding of the head of the first family, and almost everyone in the business and political circles was there.
There were so many people that Zhang Hongmei felt dizzy. She had to pull herself together and face it; even the older folks seemed to have more energy than she did. "Hongmei, if you're tired, go and rest for a bit. I can manage here by myself."
"I'll stay with you guys. My stamina is just too low, and I can't keep going any further."
"Okay, if you're tired, go and rest. I estimate there are still about a third of the people who haven't arrived yet."
"Godmother, there are so many people? My God!"
"Hehe, that's how it is. After all, Carlos is the patriarch of the McKen family, and no one dares to disrespect him."
"Yes!" Who would want to antagonize someone like that?
Another half hour passed before I could finally go and rest.
"Godmother, don't worry about anything else for now. Go and rest for a while. Wearing high heels must be too tiring, right?"
Huang Meihua nodded, feeling particularly uncomfortable. Her three daughters had just arrived, and it felt like they were attending an outsider's wedding for her own brother's wedding.
I honestly feel like a failure. I've been competitive my whole life, but my failure is all because of my daughter.
Annie called the waiter over and brought a cup of hot water to her grandmother and mother.
Huang Meihua felt somewhat relieved. Her daughter was no good, but at least she had her granddaughter.
After resting for a while, I still had to stand up and chat with the ladies.
"Godmother, I'd better stay with you!"
It took a full four hours to finally end. Zhang Hongmei sat on the sofa, not wanting to get up.
Zhao Tiancheng left with his wife three hours ago. How could he leave his young child at home unattended?
Looking at the listless Zhang Hongmei, Zhao Hao felt a little sorry for her. This lazy person had really reached her limit today.
"Hongmei, shall I help you?"
"No need, we have to wait a while. Annie and Carlos are together. Go ask Annie if she can come home with me?"
"Okay, you rest for a bit, I'll go right away."
Zhao Haozheng left. Zeng Zhongkang came over and handed her a cup of hot milk. "Hongmei, have a cup of milk. I didn't see you eat dinner tonight."
Taking the cup from Zeng Zhongkang, she said, "I really have no appetite. This wedding is too tiring. Luckily, I'm not the main character, otherwise I think I might have run away. It's too scary."
Cai Peilin and Cheng Guangxu also came over. "Hongmei, are you alright? It's not like it's your wedding. Look how tired you are."
"Yes, I'm so tired. But I have to get up and ask if there's anything else I can do. If not, then we'll leave."
Zhang Hongmei felt that she could fall asleep instantly as soon as she closed her eyes.
Huang Meihua was too tired to move. "Godmother, you should go home. You're too tired."
"Yes, the housekeeper is sorting out the monetary gifts and presents, it will be ready soon. Girl, I don't think I could have made it through without you."
"Hehe, how could that be? I think you have more energy than me. Since there's nothing for me to do, I'd like to take Annie home."
"Yes, take that girl with you. We'll be back soon."
Zhao Hao, holding Annie's hand, came over. "Grandma, I'm going to Mom's house today."
"Okay, Grandma will have the driver pick you up tomorrow morning?"
Zhang Hongmei inwardly groaned: "What about me?"
"Godmother, what time is it?"
"The driver will leave at eight o'clock, and you can get home by nine o'clock."
“Godmother, there’s no need to pick us up. Zeng Zhongkang will be driving tomorrow, and we’ll definitely be home before nine o’clock.”
"Okay. Be careful on the road."
