Just as Gu Nanyan said, Shen Bei'an didn't even get to eat lunch. Not only him, but both families missed out on the meal.
The guests won't arrive until the evening.
We're still going through the wedding ceremony; there's a ton of stuff to do.
On the bride's side, Fu Mutian felt sorry for her sister and prepared chocolates in advance, which she then delivered to the bride.
Shen Bei'an took the brocade pouch and opened it. Inside, wrapped in oil-paper, were some delicate and small pastries.
"Beibei, you've got a plan, haven't you?" Sheng Jingchen and Ye Lin both asked him for a piece, busy as they were, they didn't have time to prepare food.
They hadn't thought of that either.
"This was prepared for me by Ayan." Shen Bei'an said, munching on a pastry as she sat on the stone bench.
The Fu family's old house is not a villa design; it is rather rustic and retains some small pavilions and artificial hills.
"Ugh~ My tooth hurts so much." It was almost noon, and the Fu family and the Wei family were still busy. After all, the three of them were just friends of the bride's younger sister, so it was impossible to let them be too busy and have time to chat.
Ye Lin held a snack in one hand and rested his chin on the other, looking like he had a toothache.
Shen Beian ignored him. "Didn't you say that Young Master Weisheng would be coming? Where is he?" He looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary sickly beauty who could stun the world at first glance.
Sheng Jingchen covered his mouth and yawned, "He probably won't arrive until tonight's wedding. I heard he's still being treated with a cell repair device."
Logically speaking, although Wei Shengxu was Wei Shengxi's cousin, Wei Shengxi was of higher status.
However, it was Fu Muqian, the young master of the Fu family, who was waiting, so Wei Shengxi should also make an appearance.
However, if this were to happen for a whole day, the young master of the Weisheng family would probably be crippled.
So he only appeared at night, which was considered giving face to both families.
"Although you two are the most outstanding people in the capital, you don't attend these kinds of occasions very often. But that other person is truly noble and distinguished."
"The Micro-Life Family doesn't research these things, so they're not short of money?" Shen Bei'an remembered that even the female lead was frequently short of money because of her research.
I just don't know why his wife...
“Sometimes, as long as you have a home, you don’t need money. Besides, the Weisheng family isn’t just about this.” Ye Lin said casually.
"The Shi family?" Shen Bei'an was taken aback.
Sheng Jingchen knew that it was fine, "You just need to know that the Wei family is not short of money." He wouldn't be able to remember anything if he said too much.
And there's no need to remember it.
Shen Beian: Do you look down on me that much?
Looking at Ye Lin and Sheng Jingchen's faces, Shen Beian understood.
Yes, that's what they think.
It's really strange, there are many messy relationships between the big families in the capital, but even a spoiled rich kid can say a few words about which big family is related by marriage to which big family.
But Shen Bei'an, the fifth master of a prestigious family born into the elite, was completely unknown except to those around him.
"No... just saying, I'm bored anyway." Shen Bei'an's alluring peach blossom eyes darted back and forth between Sheng Jingchen and Ye Lin.
“It’s rather complicated,” Sheng Jingchen said, feigning profundity.
"Complex my foot." Shen Bei'an reached out and tapped Sheng Jingchen on the head. "Hurry up."
Sheng Jingchen covered his head and muttered softly, "Why does she look more and more like my older cousin from when we were young?"
"It's a long story."
"Then let's get to the point." Shen Bei'an indicated that he was already tired of this joke.
"The Shi family prospered through science and technology, and the second mistress of the Shi family married the son of a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan, so they are naturally rich. The head of the Shi family is the third master of the Weisheng family, who is the younger brother of the head of the Weisheng family. With this connection, what do you think?"
Ye Lin continued, "Furthermore, although the Weisheng family spends a lot of money on medical research and development, the profits are also high. And the young master of Weisheng... he is not a good-for-nothing."
The head of the Wei family is not someone to be trifled with, but his deep affection for his deceased wife is truly admirable.
The fact that the Wei family even placed their adopted son, Wei Shengxu, under their care, and that Wei Shengxu grew up with the Wei family, is quite intriguing.
Fine, he's just a piece of trash then.
Shen Beian felt that he had become increasingly lazy since coming here. Although his life was more colorful, he also seemed to be doing nothing.
But isn't this laid-back, carefree life exactly what he wanted?!
He went through a lot of trouble in the First World, losing countless strands of hair, to finally get his brothers and sisters to let him go. He squeezed a considerable amount out of the old man's property, plus what that woman had left him.
Although it won't be as extravagant as it is now, we can still live out the rest of our lives happily and contentedly.
"Alright, alright," Shen Beian said, indicating that he didn't care about these minor issues at all.
"Moreover, An'an, the third grandmother of the Shi family is your fourth sister-in-law. So, you are somewhat related to the Shi family and the Weisheng family," Sheng Jingchen added.
Shen Bei'an: ? ? ?
"My fourth sister-in-law?!"
etc!
By the way, his fourth sister-in-law's surname is Shi.
So, one of the female lead's younger brothers is also considered his nephew?
This relationship!
“That’s right, the third mistress of the Shi family is the fourth mistress of your Shen family.” Ye Lin nodded in agreement.
Shen Beian nodded stiffly, absorbing this...new situation on his own.
Indeed, the six degrees of separation theory is quite accurate.
Although it is based on ancient etiquette, it also emphasizes keeping up with the times, and the bride naturally has to make an appearance.
The banquet was held at Baiweiju Restaurant.
It was already evening when the banquet was held.
Baiweiju is dozens of floors high, and the marriage alliance between the Fu family and the Wei family was set on the ninth floor.
Each floor has its own elevator and entrance, creating a festive atmosphere from the first floor to the ninth floor.
The main table was definitely for the Fu family and the Wei family. Shen Beian and the other two were not very close to the Fu family, but because of their status, they were arranged to sit at the third table.
