My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 770 Preparing the Wedding Banquet
After breakfast, it was nearly eight o’clock.
Lin Feng and his wife went to see their second daughter, Er Bao. In the room with her were Da Bao, Si Bao, and Xiao Bao. As the star of the day, Er Bao was dressed predominantly in red, looking breathtakingly beautiful. Even San Bao, who was generally considered slightly prettier, seemed to pale in comparison to her sister.
The family had all seen the design for Er Bao’s wedding gown before, but this was the first time they were seeing her wear it.
It’s a masterpiece, just as you’d expect from Xiao Bao!
The wedding dress was a custom design from Xiao Bao for her sister. She had started working on it the moment Er Bao got engaged. Er Bao had the heart of a queen, and the style of the dress exuded an impressive, powerful aura.
Zhang Yuxi felt a tingle in her nose and leaned on her husband’s shoulder, suddenly struck by an idea.
"Let’s take a family portrait!"
With Er Bao at the center, everyone huddled together, their faces beaming with joyful smiles. Seeing that it was almost time, the couple left for the wedding venue. Xiao Bao insisted on staying with her sister today, so she was left in the care of her older siblings.
Outside the venue, a table was set up where two people were recording gifts on a long scroll of red silk. This would later be entrusted to the newlyweds for safekeeping.
Zhang Yuxi’s gift consisted of two sets of jewelry that Er Bao had been coveting for a long time. Lin Feng gave 200 million in personal dowry money, a car worth a million, and a vacation villa valued at over ten million. The Qin family provided four sets of jewelry featuring three kinds of gold, a two-million-yuan car, and a two-hundred-square-meter villa on the outskirts of the city.
As the staff member recorded the gifts, his hand paused when he wrote down Lin Feng’s 200 million. Everyone present, including the groom’s parents, couldn’t help but feel their eyes twitch.
As expected of the richest man in the country. He hands out dowry money in the hundreds of millions!
Zhang Yuxi had no idea what Lin Feng had arranged, and she too was taken aback when she saw the 200 million figure. She wasn’t sure exactly how much money their family had, nor did she ever ask. Er Bao is our daughter, so giving her 200 million is worth it. The children are now about to start their own families. What haven’t they eaten? What haven’t they experienced? You can’t take money with you when you die. In the end, it would all be left to the children anyway. All five of them are my own flesh and blood; I can’t play favorites.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s parents and Zhang Yuxi’s parents arrived. All four elders, now in their seventies, were dressed in festive attire with broad smiles on their faces. Lin Dashan and his wife had already discussed it and decided to give one million as a wedding gift. If they gave too much at once, what would they do when the other children got married? It was important to be fair. Zhang Yuxi’s parents also gave one million, an amount they had all agreed upon beforehand.
Lin Feng had asked Da Bao; if his relationship with Cai Xia continued to go smoothly, they could get engaged next year and start planning the wedding. As for San Bao and Shao Yang, Lin Feng wasn’t so sure. Still, he figured they would probably get married eventually. Then there was Si Bao, who was getting along quite well with Xuan Jiayi. Both sets of parents had met and given their tacit approval. Si Bao was almost thirty, and marriage was no small matter. Since he seemed to be planning on it, it was likely serious.
The guests from the groom’s and bride’s families were seated on opposite sides, with the wedding stage in the middle.
Next, Lin Jiajun arrived with his family, constantly repeating his congratulations. He and his wife gave one million, while their two sons each gave 200,000. Lin Rui, who arrived after them, gave the same amount, but his two sons were already established and gave 600,000 each. Yu Zheng, as their big brother, gave a gift of 1.5 million. Including his son’s contribution, the total came to 1.6 million.
After their mandatory cooling-off period ended, An Lan and Liu Bo finalized their divorce. An Lan returned to live in Modu, while Liu Bo settled down alone in another city. While An Lan wasn’t exactly glowing after the divorce, it was clear that her spirits had improved. Liu Bo was also doing well. Neither of them seemed negatively affected by the separation; on the contrary, they could still meet and interact like friends. This was the best possible outcome. In their own words, getting divorced was the best choice they could have made for each other.
An Lan gave 800,000. I can’t help it, my best friend has too many kids! Liu Bo gave one million. The divorced couple sat together, smiling. Their two handsome sons were still on their way.
Following them, Lin Jie arrived with Wen Xiaoya, their two children trailing behind. Lin Jie gave a gift of one million. Looking at his brother and sister-in-law in their formal attire, he exclaimed, "Bro, you look really sharp today!"
Lin Feng laughed. "Of course I do!"
The two children asked, "Uncle, Uncle, where is Sister Xiao Bao?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Lin Feng smiled. "She’s outside and will be back in a moment. You two go find a seat for now!"
Even though these two had grown so much, they were still Xiao Bao’s little followers. The three of them were incredibly close.
The relatives and friends from the Qin family also began to arrive. The gifts they brought weren’t quite as extravagant as those from Lin Feng’s side, with sums of 80,000, 20,000, and 60,000. The most generous were the groom’s immediate relatives, with gifts starting at 100,000 and the highest being 600,000.
"Welcome, welcome! Please sign in over here. Thank you!"
As more and more guests arrived, the smiles on the couple’s faces began to feel stiff, especially Zhang Yuxi’s.
Just then, Xuan Jiayi arrived with her parents. She had lost thirty pounds and now looked like a completely different person, her entire demeanor glowing with vitality. She politely greeted Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi, "Hello, Uncle, Auntie!"
The groom’s parents were shrewd people; they instantly sensed there was more to this than a simple greeting.
Lin Feng introduced her. "This young lady is my fourth son’s girlfriend!"
In the business world, practically everyone knew Mr. Xuan. It was natural for Lin Feng, being the wealthiest man, to know him, but the groom’s parents had never imagined they might be connected in this way. Seeing Lin Feng publicly acknowledge his daughter’s status, Mr. Xuan beamed with joy and said, "Today, we must drink until we drop!"
Lin Feng smiled. "I’ll be happy to oblige."
Mrs. Xuan said softly, "We’ll go find our seats inside."
Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Go on. Si Bao is inside helping out."
Mr. Xuan’s gift was one million, plus an apartment in Jingcheng of over ninety square meters. If there was one thing Mr. Xuan had, it was property.
After they walked away, the groom’s mother began to praise the Xuan family, especially Xuan Jiayi. "Speaking of which, we have a bit of a fateful connection with the Xuan family as well. Years ago, a son of one of my relatives went on a blind date with that young lady. They both thought highly of each other, but it just wasn’t meant to be. My relatives all said she had an excellent character!"
To think she ended up with the Lin family’s boy, connecting her to the Qin family through a web of relationships. The groom’s mother had once predicted that the other man would surely regret letting such a wonderful young woman go. Indeed, she wondered if he and his family knew now, and if they were filled with regret.
Lin Feng’s personal lawyer also arrived to offer his congratulations, presenting a gift of one million. Lin Feng was surprised to see him, as he was a man who valued his time immensely and was always incredibly busy.
The lawyer smiled slightly. "No matter how busy I am, I must attend my boss’s daughter’s wedding."
Lin Feng didn’t have many friends, so he hadn’t invited many. He took a sweeping glance at the bride’s side; it was nearly full. Looking closer, he realized they were all relatives!
