Chapter 1277: Wedding 3

“Yes, back in the day, Dongmei’s wedding was a grand affair. Won’t Donglin and his wife feel you’re being too biased?”

Liu Daqing laughed heartily, “I’m old and can’t handle big events anymore. Besides, both kids prefer to keep things low-key, don’t they? We should promote simplicity, right?”

Mrs. Zhang whispered, “That’s very good. At that other wedding, there were dozens of Bentleys and Ferraris parading around, causing a sensation, as if afraid people didn’t know they had money—it’s just too much…”

Mr. Zhang kept nodding, “Donglin is a reliable young man. You don’t see many like him these days.”

Liu Daqing nodded as well, “And Xixi is understanding, not pretentious, and doesn’t chase fame. They’ve always been very low-key.”

“That’s truly rare, how they’re such a good match.”

“Big sister, you’re really blessed.”

“…”

Yan Xixi was wearing a wedding dress for the first time. At the time, her three to four months’ pregnancy was not showing, and she had lost more than ten pounds earlier. Coupled with her exquisite attire, she was stunningly radiant.

Most of the guests were seeing her for the first time and couldn’t help but admire her.

Quite a few people praised her enthusiastically.

“Everyone says this or that celebrity is beautiful, but they can’t match even half the radiance of the bride…”

“The bride also graduated from South Country University…”

“Donglin is really lucky to marry such a goddess-like wife…”

…

Wan Dongmei, as the host, entertained the guests and spoke frankly, “Isn’t she? The first time I saw Xixi, I was absolutely astounded. Honestly, even if she walked on Cannes Beach, no star would outshine her…”

If someone said that casually, they might have been pelted with rotten eggs.

However, now as people looked at the bride opposite them, they all nodded in agreement.

The eldest daughter of the Wan family, known for her high standards, rarely acknowledged anyone. Yet, in her words, she was very supportive of her brother’s wife.

“Not only is Xixi beautiful and well-educated, but she’s also a renowned columnist for an international magazine, extremely popular.”

“Wow, that’s impressive?”

“That’s not all. I’ve been away from home often, and she has been tirelessly keeping my mother company, often doing better than I, her own daughter…”

A few present understood the implication.

Back when Wan Donglin mysteriously disappeared, and when he faced hardships against the Zhou Ting family, it was indeed Yan Xixi who stayed by the old lady’s side, never leaving.

…

Before, people were quietly wondering, thinking that although the bride was well-educated, she was unknown, of humble origins, and completely mismatched with the Wan family. Why marry such a woman?

But once they saw her in person, everything became clear.

Especially since she wore Liu Daqing’s cherished set of Gigantic Jewelry around her neck—everyone was extraordinarily shocked.

Among them, not many had seen Liu Daqing wear it once at a very, very important occasion—only once, nothing more. But because the jewelry was extremely expensive, it left a deep impression on everyone.

Today, giving it to her daughter-in-law showed how much she valued her.

Yan Xixi, with her tall stature and fine figure, wore a specially tailored gown, and adorned with this set of jewelry, bore no hint of the vulgarity or nouveau riche vibe one might expect. Instead, it highlighted her natural beauty perfectly.

She was dazzling and captivated the entire audience.
