Chapter 770 - 418: Wedding, Banquet, Reunion!

At present, there are no misunderstandings at all. Li Peifeng’s parents have no objections to their son offering a hundred million as a betrothal gift. Zhao Haiqi felt relieved and exchanged a joyful glance with Li Xin.

How blessed they are to have such a wonderful son-in-law and such generous in-laws... Their daughter must have saved the world in her past life!

"I haven’t supported you enough in the past. Since Peifeng is willing to give so much, and the in-laws are so sincere, we will definitely give it our all... Come on, everyone, let’s toast! Huizhi, just use water instead of wine."

After Li Xin spoke, she raised her glass and rallied everyone to clink glasses, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere as the relationship between the two families evidently took another step forward.

However, after the drink, Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi exchanged a silent glance, their mood quite the opposite of the couple across.... Damn world, let it perish!

But it’s impossible for the world to perish. Even if the end of the world were on July 18, 2122, Li Peifeng would still marry Zhao Qingge on July 17, 2122.

With the meeting and interaction between the parents of both sides, the marriage was quickly being pushed forward.

In the following week, Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin frequently invited Li Peifeng’s parents to visit the capital together and introduced them to the Zhao family’s relatives and friends. They also discussed wedding customs, ceremony arrangements, and dowry matters.

Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge often ran back and forth between wedding companies and hotels, discussing the venue decoration style for the wedding day with the person in charge. They also had to purchase wedding supplies such as wedding characters, balloons, red envelopes, ribbons, and sugary treats.

Organizing a wedding is really a troublesome task. It’s time-consuming and exhausting, with all the processes being standardized. Regardless of Eastern or Western rituals, they tend to be all the same. At the wedding venue, not many guests care about the details of the ceremony; they only care if the food is good... But despite its myriad flaws, the wedding must go on!

Because it might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a person, and this reason alone is enough.

Though for Li Peifeng, he might go through it more than once, experiencing it a couple more times doesn’t hurt.

On July 10th, seven days before the wedding, the soon-to-be-married couple discussed related matters over dinner.

"Are the invitations ready? How many?"

"You said it, thirty copies. I don’t need any; I’ll just call. All for you."

"I’ll write the message, and you need to sign your name at the end."

"Handwritten... okay."

"Oh, and we need to add two more tables; my grandpa’s old friends are coming."

"The menu for those two tables stays the same?"

"The specifications are already high, no need to change, just inform the hotel now."

They were discussing the wedding details as if no one else was around, which made Xu Manning unhappy. But she held back and asked, "Where are Aunt and Uncle? Aren’t they coming today?"

"Hmm, they’re eating out."

After the Li and Zhao families met, Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi stayed in a hotel outside, rarely visiting Dragon Lake Villa. On one hand, they felt guilty and unable to face other ’daughters-in-law,’ so they chose to avoid it.

Most importantly, Li Peifeng felt his parents couldn’t stand the atmosphere here, with all of them taking turns performing, which was exhausting to watch both physically and mentally.

As the saying goes, one woman is like five hundred ducks. Excluding Yu Huizhi, there were four women in the villa, making it two thousand ducks. And these ducks were constantly competing openly and secretly, full of jealousy and arguments between the lines.

For two old comrades at their age, it was better to avoid seeing it and worrying.

And look, now Zhao Qingge was stirring things up again...

"Could you help decorate the house later? Balloons, wedding characters, ribbons, it’s time to put them up."

Asking them to help decorate the bridal room? That’s like asking them to kill themselves!

Li Peifeng laughed awkwardly, saying there was no need for their help as he already hired a company to handle the setup, and they would be there the next morning.

"Just in time."

Xu Manning chuckled, "We’re moving out tomorrow as well."

The renovation progress at Villa 27 had reached 95%. Only the third floor and the basement were not organized yet, but the first and second floors were fully furnished and habitable. This ’habitable’ state not only referred to the facility’s environment being perfect but also the air quality being excellent.

Because all materials used during renovation were environmentally friendly, even the planks needed for crafting cabinets and furniture were made from materials that had been produced a year earlier, so the formaldehyde content was quite low. Two days ago, Xu Manning had a professional inspection done, and the air index was excellent. Even Huang Tianxuan, who was pregnant, could move in without any issue, so the three of them wanted to move out early.

Not because Zhao Qingge was always chasing them out—they actually wished to stay longer to annoy her—but another practical reason compelled them. On the day of the wedding, the place would serve as the newlyweds’ home and definitely welcome many guests. Staying there would only invite trouble for them.

"It’s great that you understand this... very good!"

Upon learning this news, Zhao Qingge’s rare smile was so wide it squinted her eyes. She not only refrained from having them decorate the bridal room but even helped them move the next day.

Thus, Villa 28 ushered in the world of just Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge. Although Li would make an extra portion of dinner every day to deliver next door, Zhao Qingge turned a blind eye to it, focusing all her attention on the wedding.

The same went for Li Peifeng, even though he knew Wu Xu and Huang—the three girls—were quite upset with him at the moment. Even He Yimeng would occasionally throw a fit at him under the guise of business. Still, he tolerated it all, choosing to delay and ignore, waiting to ease relations with other girls until after his marriage with Old Zhao.
