When Shi Nian and Ye Kun appeared in Chinese-style groom outfits, the whole venue shifted from an anticipatory silence to thunderous applause. To see the two men, usually dressed in suits and ties or casual and elegant attire, in such traditional Chinese apparel could be said to be shocking.

The music, lighting and setting of the venue also changed with the grooms’ arrival. Before, the guests had been the ones holding the court, chatting and laughing happily amidst the soft music and tinkling of wine glasses. But now, the change in atmosphere indicated the wedding ceremony had officially begun, and it promised to be a refreshing one.

The two brides showed up escorted by the bridesmaids, faces decorously covered by the round silk fans held in their hands.

“Oh my god! Those wedding dresses are just too gorgeous! How can there be such beautiful wedding dresses!” someone cried out. The exclamation was like a pebble thrown into a pond, causing susurrus of murmurs to ripple through the crowd, spreading and shaking the entire scene like a butterfly effect.

“You guys don’t know, do you? Those wedding dresses were personally designed by the two brides! The dresses weren’t made by outside parties either; they were hand-sewn by the experts in charge of costumes from their own film production company. They’re definitely custom handmade haute couture. You won’t find a second dress of its kind—sorry, my mistake—there’s only two of a kind in this world! This isn’t something money can buy!”

“I heard that Yun Nan’s mother, Mr. Gu Bei’s daughter, was especially good at embroidery when she was alive! I reckon that no one in the country or abroad can match her craftsmanship. It’s a pity she passed away early!”

“Truly a misfortunate fate! Look at how doting Mr. and Mrs. Gu are to Yun Nan; it seems, with the loss of their daughter, they’d transferred their love for her over to Yun Nan, spoiling her twice-over.”

“Yun Nan is worth it. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also built herself a thriving business. The sky’s the limit for her. Any family would be insanely happy to have such a woman marry them! Look at Xu Yun, she looks years younger with the way she’s glowing with joy!”

“Oh, it’s not just Xu Yun—look at Kong Zhen! And Lu Ying! Look! She’s been smiling non-stop for the past few days. She’s over the moon!”

“That’s right! Her daughter-in-law is also beautiful and capable, so of course she’s overjoyed.”

“Hey, have you guys heard about Fang Xi and Xi Cheng’s relationship?”

“Oh, that’s old history! That’s old news from way back when. That Xi Cheng is truly a prodigal, good-for-nothing playboy. Poor Han Yuan had to climb out of her hospital bed to clean up her son and daughter-in-law’s mess. Having such a son and daughter-in-law makes it hard to even die with peace of mind. The Xi family just isn’t lucky enough to have such a good daughter-in-law, if you ask me!”

“Just look at what a stunning bride Fang Xi makes. You can tell at a glance she’ll bring fortune to her husband! Ye Kun never left or abandoned her even after so many things had happened in the past two years, and in the end, the Ye family’s business got better and better! This just goes to show that Fang Xi is lucky to her husband’s family!”

“Yes, yes, you’re right! Leaving aside the Liang family, you can absolutely tell which of the other three great families have daughters-in-law that are lucky to their husbands. The Shi and Ye families are currently unstoppable! Whereas look at the Xi family. Xi Cheng married a girl from the down-and-out Lin family, and sure, the Xi family gained a reputation for being loyal to their word and friendship, but what’s the use of that? That Lin Yu hasn’t brought any fortune to the family, and I hear she’s even in danger of losing the child she’s bearing!”

“Hey, aside from bringing in luck, Yun Nan and Fang Xi’s capabilities aren’t to be underestimated either! I guess some things are just meant to be. It’s true when they say ‘like attracts like!’ It’s no surprise that talented men like Shi Nian and Ye Kun would have such outstanding wives! Did you see Mr. Mo? He’s the wedding’s official witness! I hear he dotes on Fang Xi as if she was his own daughter, and his sons, the young Masters of the Mo family, also considers her their little sister, judging by the lavish congratulatory gifts they gave Fang Xi.”

“Even Old Master Gu Bei treats Fang Xi as if she were his biological granddaughter!”

“Hey, that’s strange. I glanced over and haven’t seen any of Fang Xi’s relatives in attendance. Why didn’t any of her family come to her wedding?”

“Don’t be silly. Aren’t the Mo and Gu families her family? It’s written very clearly on the guest seating chart at the entrance!”

“But, still… Does Fang Xi not have any relatives? Just like Yun Nan? The brides are both orphans?”

“Did you forget? Yun Nan does have a blood family—the Yuns! It’s just that the relationship between her and her family isn’t that great. Those Yuns are truly ignorant, treating their adopted daughter like she’s a gem whereas they are cold and distant to their own biological daughter! How blind!”

“The Yuns are here today. I saw their names on the guest attendance list at the door!”

“Of course they should be here! Their biological daughter is getting married! They were so unsensible previously. They’re lucky the Shi family and Yun Nan are magnanimous. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even acknowledge them, let alone invite them to the wedding! Hmph!”

The two newlywed pairs completed their wedding rituals in an orderly manner amidst the guests’ discussion. The cheering and applause was thunderous. The grooms left hand in hand with their brides to get changed into formal attire. The guests took their seats, and the banquet began, everyone awaiting the newlyweds to come out and give toast.

More than a dozen people were suddenly at the door. The emcee quickly came forward to receive them. The list of guests for the three-day banquet was arranged in advance. There shouldn’t be any sudden guests, especially today, which was the day of the wedding.

The emcee couldn’t help but be shocked after his inquiries to the group, and hurriedly gestured for Liang Han and Lu Hui to come over.
