Chapter 736 - 775: I’ve Had Drinks with Ning Xin’er
The wedding ceremony went smoothly, and then it was time for the wedding banquet. Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er were invited to accompany the bride’s family.
The bride’s parents did not attend to give away their daughter, as marrying off a daughter meant giving her away to another family. For the bride’s parents, it was also a sad occasion. Thus, they could not participate in the groom’s wedding ceremony. This custom was still taken very seriously here.
Without that bizarre pair of parents, handling the bride’s family seemed easy, but what Fourth Aunt’s family didn’t expect was that there was a peculiar person among those who came to give away the bride.
This man was named Tian Xinyun. He had made a bit of money from his small business, had a net worth of about one or two million, and had even bought a Volkswagen Bora. He was the wealthiest person in the bride’s family and acted as the head of the delegation representing the bride’s side.
During the wedding, he did not say much. However, once seated at the banquet, he frowned upon seeing the liquor on the table and immediately said to Song Tao, who accompanied him, "How come we on the bride’s side are only drinking this kind of liquor? Isn’t this a bit too careless?"
The liquor on the table was a locally produced Osmanthus Fragrance, costing over thirty yuan per bottle. Normally, it would be considered acceptable, but Tian Xinyun didn’t even give it a second glance and started to show his displeasure.
Hearing that the bride’s family was unsatisfied with the liquor, Fourth uncle quickly said, "If there’s a particular liquor you would like to drink, we’ll get it ready immediately."
Tian Xinyun said carelessly, "Let me tell you, I don’t just drink any liquor these days. If I drink, it has to be Maotai. Otherwise, it just doesn’t taste right. Ah well, there’s no way your family can get real Maotai."
Fourth uncle frowned slightly but still said with a smile, "Since you want Maotai, of course, we’ll satisfy your request. I’ll go get it right away."
Before long, Fourth uncle brought back two bottles of Maotai, which were exactly what Li Yifei had given them yesterday, and said with a smile, "Here we go. Maotai has arrived. What do you think?"
