"That's… that's millions for so many tables, isn't it?"
"It won't even reach two million. Even with all this red and white wine, it won't exceed three million."
Xiao Yun said, shaking the wine glass in her hand.
"Isn't this red wine just the common dry red sold outside for tens of yuan a bottle?"
"No. You need to add two zeros."
Sister Xia was completely stunned by Xiao Yun's words.
She hadn't expected a single meal to cost almost as much as her family's annual income.
She no longer dared to ask Xiao Yun for that dish.
As Xiao Yu's cousin, her family had only paid one thousand yuan when they came, and there were three of them.
This money wasn't even enough for one bottle of wine, let alone the dishes.
When Guo Xuyang had asked her what dowry she was giving Xiao Yu, she hadn't answered.
She had taken on all the costs for the wedding banquet.
Some might ask why they could waive the bill for Lü Liang but not for her.
Waiving the bill for Lü Liang was merely a reduction in income; waiving it for her would be unacceptable.
This was because Guo Xuyang had agreed to waive Lü Liang's bill, whereas waiving hers would be an independent decision.
Guo Xuyang had been unaware of these matters before. He only found out that the banquet was being held at Junyue Lai when he returned and heard that Lü Liang needed wine for his wedding.
Xiao Yun had never told him that Xiao Yu's banquet was also being held at Junyue Lai, and of course, neither had Lü Liang.
Lü Liang was not someone who lacked common sense. Guo Xuyang had helped with his own tables, and it would be unreasonable to then ask for Xiao Yu's tables as well.
For Xiao Yun, helping to arrange the banquet for Xiao Yu's wedding was also a form of support for her own family, and besides, the amount wasn't really that much.
Of course, "not that much" was relative, relative to Xiao Yun's current situation.
With monthly dividends in the hundreds of millions, the cost of this banquet was quite manageable for her.
Xiao Yun certainly wasn't going around boasting about her wealth; she was simply indulging in a small display of it.
She had no idea that this one instance of showing off would lead to a continuous stream of matchmakers visiting her home later on.
Of course, that was a story for another time.
No one knew that she and Guo Xuyang had already held their wedding abroad.
The banquet was lively, and Xu Liping also sat at a table with Wu Aili.
It was fortunate that Guo Xuyang had called Li Minxi in advance. Although they were at the same table, they had no interaction throughout the event.
"Come, my treasures, my sisters, thank you all for gracing Xiao Yu and me with your presence at our wedding. Xiao Yu and I will toast you with two cups. I'll drink up, feel free to do as you please."
Lü Liang said, draining his glass of baijiu.
"Groom, you must be overjoyed today. It was worth all the years of hardship. Chasing your wife across thousands of miles, I must say, you really did it." Li Minxi teased.
"Xiao Xi, you lead the way, drink more."
"It's better to drink less. Besides, it's just plain water; drinking too much will only fill your stomach."
Li Minxi's remark drew roaring laughter.
She was speaking the truth.
Because they were pregnant, most of the people at their table were drinking plain water, and even beverages were consumed sparingly.
They were all very mindful of their diet and their health.
"Take good care of everyone here. There are no strangers among those who have come. Please eat and drink well."
"No problem, you go about your business." Li Minxi said, taking a sip of plain water.
"There's one more cup. Let's raise our glasses together. Whether you know each other or not, after drinking today, you'll all know each other."
"What are you talking about? You know everyone at this table. If you say you don't know someone, it's pretending not to know them." Li Minxi said deliberately.
"Brother Liang, seeing as today is such a joyous occasion, we won't make you drink. You go and attend to other matters. We're eating and drinking well here, so you don't need to worry." Guo Yiyang said.
"Alright, alright. Everyone, please enjoy." Lü Liang said, and he and Xiao Yu left.
Guo Xuyang then subtly gave Guo Yiyang a thumbs-up.
