The Imperial City Grand Hotel!
To host this wedding of the century, the hotel staff began preparations two days prior. Now, the entire Imperial City Grand Hotel was filled with a festive atmosphere.
At the hotel entrance, a ninety-nine-meter-long red carpet stretched from the lobby all the way to the plaza in front of the hotel, symbolizing eternal love!
Flanking the red carpet were two rows of welcoming hostesses, dressed in festive qipaos and possessing exquisite beauty.
They all wore sweet smiles, making one feel as if bathed in spring breeze.
Further out stood two rows of handsome doormen in suits, enthusiastically parking the cars for arriving guests.
Ten AM!
Amidst the widespread anticipation, two helicopters, accompanied by the whistling sound of wind, approached slowly from the front.
Beneath the helicopters, a wedding procession of eighteen Rolls-Royces instantly sent the onlookers crowded on both sides of the hotel into a frenzy.
Su Yingxia and Jiang Shaolong stood atop the foremost Rolls-Royce, appearing like a prince and princess from a fairytale.
"Bang—"
With a loud bang, two banners, each over ten meters long, hung down from the tail rotors of the helicopters, bearing the inscriptions: "May they be united in love forever," and "A match made in heaven, a perfect union!"
Immediately afterward, the assembled band struck up the wedding music.
"Su Yingxia, Su Yingxia!"
"Jiang Shaolong, Jiang Shaolong!"
The onlookers, their faces flushed with excitement, couldn't help but shout.
The wedding cars stopped before the ninety-nine-meter-long red carpet. The car door opened, and Su Yingxia, clad in a white wedding gown, happily linked her arm with Jiang Shaolong's as they alighted. Amidst the cheers and shouts of the crowd, they slowly stepped onto the red carpet... Da Feng Novel Network
At the same time, in a taxi, Chen Fan listened to Jiang Tiansheng's report with a grim expression.
"Mr. Long, according to the latest information we've investigated, three years ago, Miss Su Yingxue was expelled from the Su family the week before you arrived in Hangjiang."
"Afterward, Old Master Su issued a strict order to all Su family members that no one was allowed to mention Miss Su Yingxue's name."
"Concurrently, Old Master Su spent a fortune bribing various connections to completely seal all information about Miss Su Yingxue. He even fabricated records, transferring all of Miss Su Yingxue's information from before the age of ten to Su Yingxia."
"And..."
Jiang Tiansheng hesitated midway through his report.
"Speak!"
Chen Fan commanded coldly.
Jiang Tiansheng took a deep breath and said, "And for the past three years, Miss Su Yingxue's life has been... very difficult!"
"After the Su family kicked them out, they continued to cause trouble behind the scenes, preventing her from finding legitimate work. She could only work as a lowest-level server in a disreputable entertainment club."
He paused, and seeing Chen Fan remain silent, continued, "Furthermore, Miss Su Yingxue's mother, for reasons unknown, suffered a mental breakdown and requires medication daily..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's expression grew even colder.
"Su Songyan, you audacious dog!"
Chen Fan roared in anger, a chilling aura suddenly emanating from him, causing the temperature inside the taxi to plummet dramatically.
The taxi driver, pale with fear, nearly crashed into the car in front.
"Driver, speed up, I'm in a hurry!" Chen Fan took a deep breath and urged the taxi driver.
"Yes, yes—" The taxi driver wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and floored the accelerator, speeding towards the Imperial City Grand Hotel.
...
At this moment, the wedding of Su Yingxia and Jiang Shaolong was in full swing.
The entrance of the hotel was packed with reporters from various media outlets and onlookers.
Whenever a prominent social figure arrived, the media reporters immediately turned their cameras towards them.
None of the onlookers left, each eager to see how many dignitaries would attend the Jiang family's wedding.
"Look, it's Old Tang's car!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted!
"Whoosh!"
All eyes turned towards the main entrance of the Imperial City Grand Hotel. A low-key Audi A6 slowly stopped, and an old man in a Tang suit alighted.
The man was none other than Tang Dezheng, the patriarch of the most prominent family in Hangjiang and a pivotal figure in the region!
Jiang Lizu, who was responsible for receiving guests, had been registering gifts when he saw Old Tang's car arrive. He quickly put down his pen and, with a group of Jiang family members, eagerly stepped forward with smiles.
"Your esteemed presence graces us, a long-awaited welcome. Please forgive our lack of foresight!" Jiang Lizu clasped his fists in greeting.
He was Jiang Shaolong's second uncle and one of the leading figures of the Jiang family. For ordinary guests, he wouldn't even bother to lift an eyelid.
However, Old Tang was clearly no ordinary individual. His personal attendance at Jiang Shaolong's wedding was a great honor to the Jiang family.
"Greetings, Uncle Tang!"
The younger generation of the Jiang family bowed respectfully.
"En!"
Old Tang nodded slightly at Jiang Lizu, acknowledging his greeting.
As for the younger members of the Jiang family, he didn't even glance at them.
They were not direct descendants of the Jiang family, so Old Tang's attitude was understandable.
Of course, the direct descendants of the Jiang family were not at the entrance receiving guests; they were already inside the hall mingling with important VIPs.
Only Jiang Lizu's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of anger. In his opinion, the Jiang family, with the blessings of that Old Master Chen, was now more prosperous than ever, and even the collateral branches deserved respect, not to be casually looked down upon by outsiders.
However, being a seasoned elder, he quickly regained his composure and smiled, leading Old Tang into the hotel lobby.
"It seems the rumors are true; this wedding between the Jiang and Su families is destined to become a legend!"
"Indeed, even someone as highly respected as Old Tang has personally come, it must be extraordinary!"
"Old Tang is nothing! I heard that the guests attending this event could hold a high-level business summit!"
"Look, look, more cars are arriving!"
...
As soon as the last voice spoke, one luxury car after another roared in, led by a white Bentley, exuding an air of extravagance.
"Look at the license plates, they all start with 'Jiang' and are from Jiangbei Province. Are important figures from Jiangbei Province arriving?"
"Huh? Who is that person on the right? Could it be the chairman of Wangyi?"
"Could it be? It's Li Xiangbei, the chairman of Wangyi Group!"
...
Upon seeing the individuals emerging from the first Bentley, the crowd gasped!
Li Xiangbei, the founder of Wangyi Group, was a top tycoon ranked among the top thirty wealthiest individuals in Da Hua.
"Why is Li Xiangbei here?"
Jiang Lizu, who was responsible for receiving guests, also showed a look of shock. While their Jiang family was considered a first-tier family in Jiangbei Province, they were no match for this tycoon.
"I am Jiang Lizu, greetings, Chairman Li!" Jiang Lizu lowered his posture as much as possible.
"A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you."
Li Xiangbei returned the greeting with a gentle nod, then instructed his secretary to bring a contract. He handed it to Jiang Lizu, saying, "This is a ten percent stake in Tianhe Group, a subsidiary of Wangyi Group. Please accept it as a wedding gift for Mr. Long."
"Five percent of Tianhe Group's shares?"
Jiang Lizu stared at the contract, his eyes almost bulging out.
Although Tianhe Group was a subsidiary of Wangyi Group, it was still a large company with a market value of over ten billion. Five percent of its shares would be worth tens of millions.
And this massive sum of money was casually given away as a wedding gift by this gentleman.
What did this signify?
The crowd could no longer imagine; perhaps this was what it meant to truly spend lavishly!
"I—"
Jiang Lizu was too emotional to speak.
Li Xiangbei smiled, "I know this amount of money is not enough for Mr. Long's daily expenses. It's a humble offering!"
