When the two returned to the villa, the area in front of the gate was already bustling with activity. All the helpers were soldiers Li Lei had handpicked from the army. The banquet was a lavish affair, with all the seats at the Beijing Grand Hotel booked out. The wedding was to be held at the hotel, and Li Lei had prepared twenty cars for transportation.
In reality, this wedding largely followed traditional Chinese wedding customs, while a small portion referenced Western traditions.
The 200-meter-long garden road in front of his house was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars. There were as many as 40 expensive cars there to pick up the bride. Zhou Xuan had never seen so many luxury cars gathered together before.
After a moment of stunned silence, Zhou Xuan asked Li Wei, "Li Wei, where did you find so many nice cars?"
Li Wei spat and said, "My dear brother, you really underestimate yourself! With your wealth and status, what are these cars? Besides, don't you think about who your beautiful sister-in-law is? And who are my second uncle and younger uncles? Poor preparations will not only embarrass us, but also them!"
"Hurry up, let's go. We still have to prepare for the battle with those people today," Li Wei urged Zhou Xuan. The wedding party was already prepared, including **, Zhao Junjie, Zhou Xuan's hometown brothers, his company partners, Xu Juncheng, Zhou Xuan's friends from Hong Kong, Gu Yuan, and so on. The rest were Li Wei's close friends. This group was all princelings, people who would do anything without fear.
"Start a war? What kind of war?" Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then asked Li Wei, "Today is our wedding day, why start a war?"
Li Wei chuckled and said, "My dear brother, it seems this is truly your first time getting married. When the groom goes to fetch the bride, the bride's side, her best friends, will try to create obstacles and make things difficult for us. If we want to marry our beautiful sister-in-law, we'll have to outwit them."
"Pah...Isn't this my first or my umpteenth wedding?" Zhou Xuan retorted irritably. However, he wasn't unfamiliar with the bride's best friend's antics that Li Wei had mentioned. In their rural hometown, the groom's party would indeed face difficulties at weddings, but it wasn't always the bride's best friend. Even the groom's best friend would do the same thing, constantly making things difficult on the way back from the wedding, demanding food and drinks. The farce would reach its peak when they arrived at the groom's house, with the groom being made to carry the bride on his back, or kiss her every step of the way, etc. In short, the groom wouldn't be allowed to easily get the bride into the house.
Li Wei chuckled, looking embarrassed, "I misspoke, that's not what I meant. Of course, this is your first and last time. You and your beautiful sister-in-law are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, a match made in heaven, a perfect union, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, destined for a long and happy life together, **..."
"Shut up!" Zhou Xuan said, stopping Li Wei from spouting nonsense that was getting more and more outrageous.
The wedding cars were all ready, and someone came over and urged, "Stop talking nonsense, it's almost noon, let's hurry up!"
Zhou Xuan then got into the car, a stretched Hummer that was over twelve meters long, making it particularly impressive in the wedding procession.
Inside the car, Li Wei accompanied Zhou Xuan in a stretched Hummer. The wedding procession, consisting of forty cars, stretched for almost two to three hundred meters in length, making it an enormous wedding party.
The heads of the Li family, the Zhou family, and Fu Ying's own family were all at the Beijing Grand Hotel. Apart from the Wei family members Wei Haihong and Wei Xiaoqing, everyone else from the Wei family was also at the Beijing Grand Hotel.
At Wei Xiaoqing's home, the checkpoint inspection was much more relaxed today. Of course, this only applied to the wedding procession; other vehicles were inspected as usual, and the strictness of the inspection was even increased.
Wei Haihe is the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. However, the place he prepared for Fu Ying's wedding this time was not the official residence assigned to him, but Wei Haihong's home in Xicheng District. After all, it is inconvenient to hold a wedding in the municipal party committee's official residence compound.
Outside Wei Haihong's villa, the wedding procession stretched from the villa entrance to the driveway in the community's green garden. After parking, Li Wei accompanied Zhou Xuan into the villa.
There were seven or eight people in the living room. Besides Wei Haihong and Xue Hua, there were the Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaoyu sisters, Fu Ying, and several girls dressed up in finery. They all looked fierce and were probably going to act tough and ruthless.
Zhou Xuan had some doubts in his mind. If these girls were to play dirty, he really didn't know how to deal with them.
However, as soon as he entered the living room, his eyes fell on Fu Ying. Today, Yingying was truly indescribably beautiful. She was wearing a snow-white wedding dress, and her bridal makeup was a thousand times, ten thousand times more beautiful than the models in movies and television. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look up at people.
Beside Fu Ying, the Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaoyu sisters were equally beautiful, but their clothes were naturally not as eye-catching as Fu Ying's. No one expected that Zhou Xuan's wedding would have two bridesmaids today.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment before pounding his chest and stamping his feet, saying, "We miscalculated this time! Why didn't you follow the plan? Who said there would be two bridesmaids?"
Wei Xiaoqing snorted and said, "We can have as many as we want, it's none of your business."
Li Wei was speechless for a moment. Despite his arrogance, he was no match for the Wei Xiaoqing sisters. He could compete with other women and flirt with them, but he wouldn't dare to mess with the Wei Xiaoqing sisters. Xiaoqing had two old men backing her up, and anyone who offended her would suffer. As for Wei Xiaoyu, Li Wei dared not provoke her even more.
If you offend Wei Xiaoqing, even if you suffer, it will be later and you'll still have a chance to escape. But if you offend Wei Xiaoyu, you'll get your comeuppance on the spot. Even if Li Wei brought ten or twenty of his best friends, he wouldn't dare to mess with Wei Xiaoyu.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then his eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "Brother Xuan, it's getting late, beautiful sister-in-law, let's get in the car, everyone's waiting."
"Who said we can just leave like that?" The other three girls with fierce expressions immediately blocked their way.
These fierce expressions were obviously feigned, but whether they were genuine or feigned, Zhou Xuan and Li Wei certainly couldn't afford to be fierce with them; these weren't the opponents they faced in life-or-death situations.
Zhou Xuan stopped and stood there in a daze. Dealing with girls was not his forte, while Fu Ying lowered her head and didn't say a word, not even raising her head.
Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaoyu were both biting their lips and looking at each other provocatively.
Seeing that Zhou Xuan had softened and lost all his momentum, Li Wei frowned. It seemed that there was really no way to avoid it; today, he would have to bleed and fight to the death.
"What do you want? Name your terms. Money if you want, people if you want, even one against three is fine." Li Wei made up his mind and decided to act tough with these girls, saying shameless things.
The three girls were stunned. They hadn't expected the other person to be such an unreasonable, even uncivilized, guy. His words were quite harsh, and look at his smug expression—he even dared to take on three of them!
Li Wei was determined to act tough. If the three girls were to play dirty tricks, he was prepared to sacrifice himself and use force to restrain them, allowing Zhou Xuan to take Fu Ying away. Once they were in the car, he wouldn't be afraid of these girls playing dirty tricks.
However, Li Wei was worried about the Wei sisters, Wei Xiaoyu and Wei Xiaoqing. If they interfered, he wouldn't be able to stop them even if he sacrificed himself. Wei Xiaoqing was one thing, but Wei Xiaoyu could wipe him out with a flick of her little finger.
Li Wei's words angered the three girls. After a moment of stunned silence, the three girls immediately scattered, standing with their hands on their hips, blocking Li Wei's path. One of the girls took out a bottle of hairspray from behind her back and rushed forward to spray it on Li Wei.
Li Wei never expected that she would attack so suddenly. He cried out in pain, his eyes stinging and he couldn't open them. Unable to see anything, he had no chance to fight back.
The three girls attacked him together, twisting and pushing him until he was thrown outside the door. Li Wei rolled over, got up, wiped the gel from his eyes, and after a while, opened them, his eyes still red, muttering angrily. He dared not go back in; if he did, he would surely be subjected to further abuse from the three girls. His heroic image had crumbled here today.
The people outside who were there to greet the bride found it amusing. Seeing Li Wei slink out, looking rather disheveled, it seemed this hurdle was going to be difficult to overcome.
But it's not entirely the girls' fault for being so ruthless; it's mainly because Li Wei's words were harsh, which led to them stepping on their own.
Zhou Xuan watched Li Wei suffer, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't step forward to help. After the three girls kicked Li Wei out, they glanced at Zhou Xuan but didn't attack him. They just stared at him for a few moments before bursting into laughter.
Zhou Xuan looked at the six of them awkwardly, and then cautiously asked, "Ladies, I'm very scared. Please don't make things difficult for me. Let me go today. You can ask for anything you want to eat or drink, and you can choose whatever you want, okay?"
The girl who sprayed Li Wei with hair gel chuckled and said, "You're not entirely sensible, but that guy of yours is too much of a nuisance. Letting you off so easily won't do. Let me think... everyone..."
The girl then turned to look at the others and asked with a smile, "Ladies, what do you think he should do?"
Another girl couldn't help but laugh and said, "What should we do... let him... let him... sing while holding the bride, okay?"
“Okay, okay, let him sing while holding the bride,” another girl clapped her hands in agreement.
Zhou Xuan looked worried. These girls didn't seem to give him any face at all right now, and Fu Ying herself didn't say a word. But even if she were to speak, it probably wouldn't make any difference.
The key point is that Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaoyu haven't said anything yet, and we don't know what they're thinking. If they're also in a difficult position, then things will get complicated.
And then there's that bastard Li Wei, who never came back in after being kicked out, leaving him all alone here.
