Chapter 146 Chapter 146 We’re Getting Married! (Part 2)…
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu returned to Shaou Street together.
The house was full of people.
Yes, Ajuan, Old Lady Su, and my second uncle's family are all here.
Mao Li and Zhang Wei were also there.
Even Yao Meiyu came.
When everyone saw Su Tianli and Cheng Yu, they hurriedly asked, "Have you got the marriage certificate?"
Before Su Tianli could answer,
Cheng Yu quickly took out the marriage certificate and proudly handed it to Su Dejun.
Su Dejun was very excited. He looked at the marriage certificate over and over again. "So this is what a marriage certificate looks like!"
Su Qianzi was so anxious, "Dad, please show it to me!"
Second Aunt also said weakly: "Brother, we also want to see..."
In this way, everyone looked through the marriage certificate of Su Tianli and Cheng Yu.
On the other side, Su Tianli greeted her second uncle's family.
I also asked Mao Li and Zhang Wei how they spent the Spring Festival...
How to say it,
Su Tianli was very keenly aware that Mao Li and Zhang Wei's expressions were not very good.
However, they both tried hard to pretend that everything was fine.
Thinking that everyone was in high spirits at the moment, Su Tianli didn't mention it.
Second Aunt pulled Su Tianli into the yard, pointed at the various local specialties scattered all over the ground, and said, "Lychee, you and Cheng Yu are getting married, so you're going to have a wedding banquet, right? Where? Here? Or in the chemical plant's family compound?"
"Look at these..." Second Aunt said worriedly, "These shouldn't be enough, right?"
"Lizhi, when will you and Cheng Yu have your wedding?"
"How about your uncle and I go back to our hometown tomorrow? We can bring some local specialties so that we can prepare a banquet for you two, right?"
Then Second Aunt started to talk, "Chickens and ducks are probably too expensive here. Let's get some from the countryside... Not only are they cheaper, but they taste better too!"
"But Litchi, you have to tell me how many tables you want to host. There should be a chicken and a duck for each table, right? And a pig. Is one pig enough for me to collect?"
"There are also mountain products... dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots are definitely what we want, right? What about the others?"
Second Aunt kept talking on and on without taking a breath, and Su Tianli didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
However, Su Tianli didn't want to interrupt.
After all, this was Second Aunt's good intention.
After Second Aunt finished talking, Su Tianli smiled and said, "Second Aunt, Cheng Yu and I have discussed it, and the wedding banquet will be held on the 16th day of the first lunar month."
"We won't do it ourselves... We plan to go directly to a state-owned restaurant to hold the banquet, so you don't have to go back to deal with chickens, ducks and local specialties."
"Second Aunt, you just stay and help."
When Second Aunt heard this, she got anxious and said, "Go to a state-owned restaurant to open a hotel... that's too expensive!"
"If you ask me, we should go back to the chemical plant's staff compound and do it!"
“First, it saves money!”
"First, everyone does it together, and it's lively..."
Su Tianli disagreed.
To her, marriage is just a formality;
The most important thing at the moment is her company's development plan.
She didn't want to put too much energy into the wedding.
When Second Aunt saw that Su Tianli refused to listen, she turned around anxiously and went back to the house to discuss it with everyone.
Su Tianli smiled and was about to follow him into the house.
Then he looked up and saw Mao Li walking out of the house uncomfortably.
——Mao Li had a uterine curettage last year. At that time, her health and mental state were extremely poor;
Later, with everyone's care, Mao Li gradually recovered.
However, during the Chinese New Year period, after not seeing her for about ten days, Mao Li seemed to have become much more haggard.
It can be seen that Mao Li might not be having a good time at home for some time.
Mao Li came out to get some fresh air.
I didn't expect to see Su Tianli as soon as I came out.
Mao Li hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Lizhi, congratulations!"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Then the two of them fell into silence.
After thinking for a while, Su Tianli asked, "How many red envelopes did you receive during the Chinese New Year?"
Mao Li laughed, "More than eight dollars!"
Su Tianli exclaimed exaggeratedly, "What a good omen? It looks like we're going to be rich this year!"
Mao Li chuckled.
The atmosphere became more harmonious.
So Mao Li asked Su Tianli, "I just heard you and your second aunt arguing about whether to hold the wedding banquet at home or at a state-owned restaurant... Why, do you want to hold it at a state-owned restaurant?"
Su Tianli nodded.
"But it's very expensive to hold a wedding banquet in a state-owned hotel!" said Mao Li.
"I attended wedding banquets of relatives last year, both those held by myself and those held in state-owned restaurants."
"If you cook it yourself, you can have cheap or expensive meals. The cheapest ones are three or five yuan per table, as long as there is meat. The more expensive ones are eight or ten yuan per table, and you can already eat a whole chicken or a whole duck..."
"State-owned restaurants are much more expensive. I heard there are three levels: eight yuan per table, twelve yuan per table, or twenty yuan per table..."
Su Tianli told Mao Li the truth, "I want to hold a banquet at a state-owned restaurant because I don't want to take on any responsibilities."
Mao Li was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, "It's because Cheng Yu's grandparents are also going to attend the wedding banquet. Do you... do you want to be more respectable?"
Su Tianli hasn't spoken yet.
Yao Meiyu came running over from behind, "What are you two whispering about?"
Mao Li smiled and told Su Tianli about the conversation she had just had with her.
Yao Meiyu immediately corrected Mao Li when she heard this, "Lizhi is going to a state-owned restaurant to hold her wedding banquet, not just to show off!"
“You have to think about how lychees usually cost money!”
"She wanted to hold the banquet at a state-owned restaurant because she thought it was worth spending the money..."
"Right, lychee?" Yao Meiyu asked Su Tianli directly.
Su Tianli smiled and said, "I still have to figure out a way to come up with a development plan for our company these days."
Yao Meiyu turned to Mao Li and said, "Look! I told you!"
Mao Li found it incredible. "Lizhi, at this stage...your wedding is more important, right?"
Su Tianli said tactfully: "I think the two can be done at the same time, there is no conflict."
Mao Li was stunned.
Of course she could understand what Lizhi meant.
However, she watched with her own eyes how Lizhi and Cheng Yu met and fell in love...
How to say it,
Although the time was a bit short and the process was a bit fast, overall, Lizhi and Cheng Yu were still a good match.
Then why... does Lizhi take her wedding with Cheng Yu so lightly?
Lizhi actually thinks that the "company's articles of association" are more important than her wedding?
Mao Li looked at Su Tianli with wide eyes, feeling a little unbelievable.
At this time——
Yao Meiyu thought for a moment and said to Su Tianli, "Lizhi, can I make a suggestion?"
"you say."
Yao Meiyu continued, "Just like you said, let's split up!"
"You take care of the company's charter, and we take care of your marriage with Cheng Yu?" Yao Meiyu asked tentatively.
This time, Su Tianli really laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Cheng Yu and I are getting married, and I'm the heroine... Can you bypass me in this wedding and wedding banquet?"
Yao Meiyu, "Then just think of it as... a surprise from Cheng Yu!"
"Just focus on your work! We will focus on your wedding - we will never disturb you. If there is anything, we will go and ask Cheng Yu directly!"
"Just wait until the 16th day of the first lunar month to put on your wedding dress and attend the wedding..."
Su Tianli rejected it directly, "No!"
"Why not?" Yao Meiyu insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Su Tianli, "Because... I can't be the only one dealing with the company's articles of association! You are all shareholders! You have to participate too!"
Now, even Yao Meiyu was in a dilemma, muttering, "I, I'm not saying that it's not okay to hold a wedding banquet at a state-owned restaurant...but I just feel that holding a wedding banquet by myself gives me a greater sense of participation!"
When Su Tianli was about to say "things should be prioritized"...
At this time, Mao Li spoke up, "Lizhi, I think what you and Meiyu said makes sense!"
"Well, how about we do both things at the same time?"
"I'm not trying to smooth things over... I think that the 'establishment of the company charter' that you value more is more about thinking. In other words, this matter actually requires us to spend more time thinking and planning!"
"But as for your wedding banquet, to be honest, as long as we find a few good helpers who are used to hosting wedding banquets, the event can go smoothly... For us, we just need to take action and don't have to think about it at all!"
Yao Meiyu clapped her hands, "That's it!"
Su Tianli laughed, "Why do I feel... so unreliable?"
Yao Meiyu immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Take that back! Say 'That's great! Thank you for your hard work' instead... Hurry!"
Then Yao Meiyu whispered again: "Anyway, just wait patiently to become the bride!"
"If you are not satisfied with the wedding, then you can just - scold Cheng Yu!"
Su Tianli laughed out loud.
Yao Meiyu also laughed, "Well, I'll take that as your agreement!"
What else can Su Tianli do?
Cheng Yu was already her husband, and he did not agree to hold the wedding banquet at a state-owned restaurant;
Second Aunt represented her family, including her father Su Dejun, who had previously said that they would hold their own wedding when discussing marriage with Old Lady Xu;
Now Yao Meiyu and Mao Li, as her friends, also suggested that she run it herself...
How could she not agree?
"Okay, okay, okay! Okay, okay! I'll do whatever you say!" Su Tianli said with a smile.
Yao Meiyu was so happy that she ran into the house excitedly to report the news.
Mauli also smiles.
Su Tianli asked suddenly beside her: "What happened between you and Awei?"
"Ah?" Mao Li was stunned.
She looked at Su Tianli in surprise, and then clearly saw the concern in Su Tianli's eyes.
Mao Li had tears in her eyes, "Nothing."
——The year isn’t over yet!
She didn't really want to talk about those unhappy things.
Su Tianli thought for a moment and asked, "Is your family... urging you to get married?"
Mao Li laughed sadly, "No."
Then--
Big tears suddenly jumped out of her eyes and wet her face.
"I'm fine... I'm really fine!" Mao Li said while choking, "Lizhi, this is your good day... Don't ask about those bad things."
Su Tianli, "You also know that today is my good day, right?"
Mao Li was startled.
Su Tianli, "So just treat it as a blessing! No matter what makes you unhappy, just speak it out... and you won't be unhappy anymore! In fact, since today is my good day, it can even bring you some happiness!"
Mao Li bit her lower lip.
After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "My family is urging me to get married, for sure. After all, I will be 24 after this year..."
"But my family is only asking me why I haven't married Zhang Wei yet."
"The problem lies with Zhang Wei."
Su Tianli's heart skipped a beat.
Mao Li said with a trembling voice: "His family is also urging him to get married, but his family is not urging him to marry me."
"Lizhi, you don't know, during the New Year, his mother, his sister-in-law, his aunt, and his aunt all introduced him to blind dates..."
"And then he...he actually went to meet the person seriously!"
Su Tianli widened her eyes in shock.
Mao Li said with tears in her eyes: "He didn't even tell me such a big thing!"
"And he was seeing another woman, and my sister-in-law saw it with her own eyes! I only found out after my sister-in-law came home and told me..."
"I'll go find him and ask him why you did this."
"Lizhi, do you know what he said to me?"
Su Tianli took a deep breath.
She felt very angry just by listening to it, okay?
Furthermore, based on my understanding of Zhang Wei,
Su Tianli could roughly guess how Zhang Wei would answer Mao Li...
——It simply means that he can’t let his mother, sister-in-law, aunt, and cousin lose face, and he can’t even let the girls introduced to him by these people lose face!
Mao Li took the initiative to reveal the answer, "Zhang Wei said--"
"He said those women were introduced by his mother and sister-in-law. It was New Year's Day, and he didn't want to embarrass his mother and sister-in-law, so he went..."
"He said that he went to meet those women and treated them to food and a movie, but he did it to save the women's face!"
"He also said that he had made it clear to those women. He said that he already had a girlfriend named me, and we had been together for more than ten years..."
Su Tianli closed her eyes and wondered how she could guess so accurately!
Mao Li couldn't help crying, "Lizhi! Can you understand how I feel?"
"I'm still struggling in my heart over whether or not to forgive him. Should I swallow all the hurt he has caused me for the sake of our ten-plus years of friendship?"
"What's the result?"
"His mother, his sister-in-law, his aunt, and his aunt completely disregard my face. Knowing that I am his girlfriend, they still want to introduce him to someone. Isn't this a slap in my face?"
"Also, he wasn't welcomed in his family before, so why did his family suddenly treat him as a god of wealth this time?"
"I have clearly told him many times not to show off his wealth in front of his family..."
"Lizhi, guess why his aunts and uncles suddenly want to introduce him to someone?"
By this time, Mao Li was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
Su Tianli sighed.
How could she not guess?
That must be——
Zhang Wei is not careful with his mouth!
Su Tianli patted Mao Li on the shoulder and said, "What about your family..."
Mao Li took a deep breath and said, "I didn't say I was rich, nor did I say I was in business with you... I've suffered such a big loss, can't I learn the truth of not showing off my wealth?"
"But Litchi, I'm using you as a cover too!"
"I said that you and Meiyu jointly opened a company, and you two let me come over to manage things because I'm an old classmate!"
"I won't tell them that I have money to invest... Even if I want to, I have to wait until I have my own house and become a millionaire, and all my money is in the bank and I can't withdraw it, then I will tell them!"
"Otherwise, as soon as they know that I have money to invest, they will definitely ask me to split the shares with you and give my money back!"
Su Tianli was not worried about herself at all, but was worried about Mao Li. "Mao Li, Zhang Wei wouldn't let your family know, right?"
Mao Li waved her hand, "It doesn't look like it at the moment."
"Because I told Zhang Wei early on that he was not allowed to say that he was rich or that I was rich... He might be tricked by his family, but he would never betray me."
"Of course, it's also because my family scolded me, saying that I was always with Zhang Wei, why he was rich and I was still a pauper!"
"Lizhi, I'm a little scared now. I wonder if Zhang Wei will bring you trouble." Mao Li said with a worried look on her face.
Su Tianli patted Mao Li on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it! I'm not afraid... If they dare to come, I'll let Cheng Yu handle it."
Su Tianli said with a sly smile.
Mao Li knew what Su Tianli meant - now the Xu family is the backer of Su Tianli and Cheng Yu!
"But you...Mao Li, what are your plans?" Su Tianli asked.
Mao Li's eyes were red, "I don't know..."
"Litchi, I feel really bad!"
"If every day with him is so unhappy... I really don't want to go on!" Mao Li said sobbing.
"Lili?" Zhang Wei's doubtful voice came from not far away.
