Chapter 1754: Chapter 1754: You Forced Me to Do This

That day, when meeting the in-laws, Lu Yiting’s family couldn’t make it back because they had other matters to attend to.

So when Lu Ran got married, they took time off in advance to help significantly, and Kong Xiangrui, this uncle, was busy running around too.

When Zhou Lei’s family arrived, it was Kong Xiangrui, the uncle, who accompanied them for the pickup.

Phew, thankfully a forty-five-seater was arranged, otherwise it really wouldn’t be enough to fit everyone.

At the Gu Family Courtyard, they tidied up both guest courtyards, each courtyard with three main rooms and two side rooms, squeezing in about forty people with some effort.

Thankfully, the weather wasn’t too cold yet, and a simple bed could be set up.

After picking everyone up and finding a place to eat, they sent everyone to the Gu family, where Auntie Tang warmly welcomed them. However, just to be safe, all other courtyards were locked, leaving only the front courtyard and these two guest courtyards open.

Seeing the clean and tidy bedding, everyone was genuinely thankful from the heart; this was Capital City, and not only were they not dismissive, but they had also arranged accommodation.

Stone and Taifeng took everyone out in the afternoon, showing them around Capital City, promising to take them to various scenic spots to see and explore after the wedding.

Upon returning in the evening, everyone discussed that since they were staying and eating at others’ expense, they shouldn’t let the hosts pay for tickets for their outings.

On the other side, Bai Suli saw that Luo Qiao was truly not planning to intervene this time, and her resentment deepened.

Her mind even entertained thoughts she shouldn’t have, justifying them to herself with self-righteous reasons: "You forced me to this."

Next, she sought out people to implement her plan, hoping to force Luo Qiao to help her. But unfortunately, she ended up harming herself.

Lu Ran and Zhou Lei’s wedding was quite grand. Lu Yixuan said that having both a son and a daughter, he always wanted to give the best to his daughter, so everything was arranged quite meticulously.

All the wedding cars were owned by friends and relatives, and they were all luxury cars, which truly opened the eyes of the people from Zhou’s village attending the wedding; it would be talked about for three to five years when they returned home.

When Lu Ran, wearing the Xiuhua Costume, appeared arm in arm with Lu Yixuan in his crisp military uniform, melodious music filled the air.

Lu Yixuan handed his precious daughter to Zhou Lei: "Lu Ran is our cherished and pampered daughter. I hope you continue to let her live carefree and happy."

Zhou Lei solemnly promised in front of everyone: "Rest assured, I will pamper and protect her in the days to come and strive to be a qualified husband because she is the one I love the most."

After the officiant’s speech, the wedding banquet officially began.

As the waiters gradually served the dishes, the relatives from Zhou’s side quietly conversed: "With such high-quality food, did we give too little in gift money? Should we add a bit more?"

"The gift money is already given; how can we add more? When Zhou Lei brings his wife back to the village, we can treat her well, invite her to our home, and have a meal."

"You’re right; Leizi is indeed lucky. He found a great wife, beautiful and courteous."

"Zhaoyuan’s family is fortunate, and Leizi will have a bright future."

Someone reminded: "Enough talking, start eating; the food is delicious."

Meanwhile, Bai Suli also received a call: "We’ve found the target person, and we’ll act when the opportunity arises. Get the money ready, and it’ll be a trade—money for the person."

Bai Suli, a little nervous, still pretended to be calm: "Rest assured, once I see the person, I’ll give you the money; I won’t cheat you."
