"Then what's the fuss, I'll take them to eat in the county town and then come find you.
We can just find a place to crash for the night.
If that's not possible, we can even sleep in the car tomorrow morning.
After all, it's a journey of over two hours, which is enough time to rest."
"That works too. You guys find a place to eat first and then come over."
Lin Ziqi hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Li, saying, "You heard that, they want to come over."
"There really isn't any room at home, you saw it yourself."
"It's okay, it's just for one night. We'll set up a card game later and let them play.
You get your sleep, there will be plenty of running around tomorrow."
"You say that like you have a lot of experience."
"Haven't you heard of pigs running around even if you haven't eaten pork?"
"You're the pig." Xiao Li said, moving to tickle Lin Ziqi.
"Stop messing around. You're getting married tomorrow, are you excited?" Lin Ziqi said, blocking Xiao Li's playful assault.
"Not excited. We're practically old married couples, it's just a formality."
"I find you women so boring, losing your passion so early."
"It's not that I lack passion, it's just that all of this feels like a dream, a bit unreal.
Three months ago, we were still singing and selling alcohol in bars, and now we're living lives like royalty.
Sometimes I wonder if we're dreaming?"
"You're right about that. I never imagined we'd get to this point.
We have money, cars, and houses now. All of this happened after meeting Guo Xuyang.
The money mainly came too easily. Do you think he has superpowers?"
"Superpowers? You're kidding? Have you been watching too many sci-fi movies?" Xiao Li said with a laugh.
"He asked me and my sister to live in his villa in the west, and said we'd commute together with you guys."
"That's great. We'll be together every day from now on."
"Why do you think President Cheng was so generous and gave him so many villas?"
"I heard from Brother Hui that Guo Zong apparently cured President Cheng's father of a strange illness, and then President Cheng gave him half of his businesses.
The 4S stores we're running now, and the Junyue Lai hotel where we eat, used to belong to President Cheng.
It seems there are also several hotels and real estate properties."
"No wonder! I wondered why he just said he was selling cars back then."
"This is all what Brother Hui told me. Guo Zong also has several jade specialty stores in Kyoto and Shanghai, and business is booming."
"I have heard about that. I feel like he has his eye on my sister?"
"What makes you say that? How long has your sister known him?"
"The first day my sister arrived in the provincial capital, he found out and wanted to visit us at the hotel.
That night, my sister and I were eating at a spicy hot pot restaurant next to our store, and we ran into him and President Pi again.
He invited my sister and me to live in the villa in the west.
I've been working at our store for so long, and he's never asked me out for a meal.
As soon as my sister arrived in the provincial capital, he visited and invited her to eat."
"You're overthinking this, aren't you? He knows that Elder Sister has arrived in the provincial capital, so visiting you, whether out of consideration for you or out of concern for a new employee, is appropriate.
As you just said, you only ran into him at the spicy hot pot restaurant, he didn't specifically invite you to dinner.
It's normal that you don't see him often now. How many times have we seen him since we came to the provincial capital?"
"You have a point. But I still feel like he's interested in my sister."
"Don't you have paranoia? Constantly thinking everyone else is a bad person."
"Nonsense. But I trust my intuition," Lin Ziqi said.
One had to admit that women's intuition was very powerful.
"It's getting late, shall we go eat?" Guo Xuyang said, checking the time.
"That's a good idea. Eat early and rest early. Tomorrow will be busy for Xuhui." Wu Youzhi stood up as well.
"Aunt and Uncle haven't changed yet?" Guo Xuyang glanced upstairs.
"Should I go up and hurry them?" Guo Xuhui said.
"Don't go up. Yezi, go up and see why Aunt and Uncle haven't changed yet," Guo Xuyang said to Yezi.
"Perhaps it's because there are too many clothes, and they don't know which one to wear," Yezi said with a smile.
"I don't see that many clothes."
However, Yezi was very right.
Xu Wenli was in the room, changing one outfit after another, feeling that each one was beautiful.
She also put on her bracelet, and instantly looked years younger.
"Old Guo, do I look good in this outfit?"
"Beautiful. You look good in anything." Guo Yixiang had been tormented for a long time.
Ever since Yezi brought the clothes, the two of them had gone into the bedroom to change.
Guo Yixiang had casually picked out an outfit and put it on.
These clothes had been tried on at the clothing store, so any outfit would do.
But Xu Wenli kept changing, trying on each one.
"That's all you know how to say. You were always reluctant to eat or spend money before.
Now that we have money, I'm going to dress myself up properly from now on.
You know, that girl Xiao Yun has really good taste, these clothes she picked out are really nice.
I only realized today how people in the city truly know how to enjoy themselves.
You don't know how comfortable it was when Xiao Yun took us for hair treatments and facials today, it was incredible."
"Tomorrow is our child's big day, and so many people are helping downstairs. Just change into one outfit.
It's getting late, we should go eat. Little Hui will need to rest when they get back, so hurry up."
Before Guo Yixiang could finish speaking, the door was knocked.
"Come in," he called out.
"Uncle, Aunt, have you finished changing? Brother Hui is calling you down for dinner," Yezi said as she entered.
"We're almost done. We'll be down right away," Guo Yixiang said quickly.
"Alright. We'll wait for you in the car first." Yezi said and turned to leave.
"See, this is so embarrassing, having that young lady come up to call us," Guo Yixiang said.
"I'll be ready soon. What's the rush? I didn't ask her to come up and call me," Xu Wenli said irritably.
"Unreasonable." Guo Yixiang said grumpily and also went out.
The group waited in the car for about twenty minutes before Xu Wenli came down, wearing a cloak and the jade bracelet.
"Mom, over here," Guo Xuhui said, standing in front of his car.
Seeing Xu Wenli come down, Guo Xuyang called Xiao Yun and told them to take their parents and set off for Junyue Lai for dinner.
The dinner was simple, and no one drank alcohol.
"Manager Liu, are all the arrangements made?"
"They are made, Guo Zong. Tomorrow, all service personnel will be wearing new uniforms.
The greeters will be in cheongsams, with matching long red down jackets.
We have good heating here, so the down jackets are backup.
They won't look out of place when worn on the way to and from work, they are all Tanboer down jackets," Liu He said.
"I trust you with your work. The preparations are good.
Also, prepare two cash boxes so we can collect money tomorrow. After collecting the wedding gifts, arrange for someone to deliver them to Brother Hui."
"Yes, Guo Zong. I will arrange for security guards to escort them."
