Two days later.
At the most luxurious hotel in Nancheng, the wedding of Yan Mo and Liang Qingzhou was held as scheduled.
For these past two days, Yan Mo had not received a single message from Liang Qingzhou, because the two of them had only obtained their marriage certificate and had not exchanged contact information.
After returning from getting the certificate, Yan Mo tossed the marriage certificate to her parents.
After Yan Zhiyuan and Su Yunxiu stared at the marriage certificate in a daze for a long time, they couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
Their daughter, who was about to turn twenty-eight, was finally getting married.
After confirming that Yan Mo was not being impulsive, they hurriedly called the Liang family. Before the call could even go through, Liang Zhendong's call came in first.
His first words were: "In-laws, it's a good thing. My son Qingzhou said he fell in love with your daughter at first sight, and they even brought back the marriage certificate."
"Yes, it is a good thing." Yan Zhiyuan held his mobile phone, his eyes crinkling into slits as he smiled.
Su Yunxiu couldn't hear clearly, so she gestured from the side for Yan Zhiyuan to turn on the speakerphone. Yan Mo heard everything that followed clearly as well.
"By the way, in-laws, my son Qingzhou said the wedding is in two days; he wants to marry your daughter as soon as possible. I just contacted the boss of the Nanhao Hotel and booked the largest banquet hall for one hundred tables. In-laws, what do you think?"
"Oh my! It is a bit rushed." Yan Zhiyuan put on a look of an in-law, pretending to be profound. "However, since the two children have taken a liking to each other, we can only go along with it. Isn't flash marriage popular among young people nowadays? As long as they like each other, we as parents will follow their lead."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't you worry, in-laws. Although it is a bit rushed, I will definitely make sure the two children's wedding is held beautifully."
Yan Zhiyuan was quite satisfied with Liang Zhendong's sincerity. The Nanhao Hotel was already the most luxurious hotel in Nancheng, and the Liang family had given the Yan family enough face.
"And that wedding company, Qingzhou has already contacted them, and they will come to visit the day after tomorrow." Liang Zhendong's voice was a bit excited. "Also, my son said the betrothal gifts were agreed upon with your daughter at 288,000. In-laws, do you think that's a bit low? Look at this child; I told him to go on a blind date, and he came back with the marriage certificate. He also made the decision about the betrothal gifts on his own without even discussing it with me. If you feel it's too little, Old Yan, just name a number. As long as I have it, the betrothal gifts are not a problem."
"This..." Yan Zhiyuan subconsciously looked at his daughter.
Yan Mo hurriedly waved her hand. The agreed 288,000 was 288,000; as long as they saved face, that was enough. It was just an act, so there was no need to make it so high-profile. Anyway, she didn't want his betrothal gifts, and she would return them in full to Liang Qingzhou after the wedding.
Having received her daughter's signal, Yan Zhiyuan said very politely: "No need, 288,000 is already quite a lot. Since the two children have already agreed, we should respect them. Besides, we don't want this money; it's all for the young couple. We will also provide a dowry for our daughter, which will also be for the young couple."
In fact, Yan Zhiyuan felt guilty when he heard that Liang Zhendong's son had fallen in love with his daughter at first sight, because he understood his daughter and knew that she was getting married largely out of pique, so he had even less confidence to complain that the betrothal gifts were too little.
After all, the 288,000 in betrothal gifts was much more generous than what Zhang Zheng's family had offered.
Yan Zhiyuan didn't lack this small amount of money, but his pride needed it.
"Alright, alright, alright." Liang Zhendong was also very satisfied with his in-laws' sincerity, as they didn't make things difficult for the Liang family just because his son had whisked their daughter away the first time they met.
Although it was a bit rushed, the marriage between the Liang and Yan families could be considered a well-matched couple.
"By the way, Uncle Yan, I will order the wedding dress, you can rest assured about that." Liang Qingzhou's deep voice came from the other side.
"Good, good, good." Yan Zhiyuan was incredibly excited. "Well, I'll give you Yan Mo's measurements."
"No need, I saw her today and I can tell her size."
"Alright." Yan Zhiyuan was even more satisfied.
Yan Mo curled her lip on the side and whispered, "You're so full of yourself. I was wearing so many layers, it would be a miracle if you could tell my size."
For these two days, the Liang family was busy as a bee, while the Yan family was quite relaxed. Aside from calling relatives every day to notify them of the wedding, Yan Zhiyuan's life was no different from usual.
Yan Mo's life was the same as ever; she would eat after waking up and continue sleeping after finishing her meal.
Zhao Luoluo received the news that Yan Mo was getting married soon and rushed over immediately.
"Yan Mo, you are not being a good friend at all. You said you are getting married tomorrow, and you didn't even tell me." Zhao Luoluo angrily lifted Yan Mo's quilt. "Yan Mo, do you even care about me as your bestie?"
"Did Yan Chen tell you? I knew he would definitely tell you. So I didn't need to say anything, didn't you find out anyway?" Yan Mo said lazily, pulling the quilt back over her head.
"What he said is what he said, can it be the same as you telling me?" Zhao Luoluo complained. "It's not that I'm lecturing you, but you're still sleeping when you're about to get married."
"If I don't sleep, what should I do? The wedding is tomorrow, not today."
"You still know the wedding is tomorrow? Have you tried on your wedding dress? Have you chosen your toasting dress? Have you notified your friends and classmates? Have you done any of these things?"
"Indeed, you reminded me, I haven't notified my classmates yet!" Yan Mo opened her mobile phone and quickly posted a message on her Moments that she was getting married tomorrow.
Although she and Zhang Zheng had already deleted each other, they still had mutual friends. As long as she posted this on her Moments, Zhang Zheng would naturally find out very soon.
After posting to her Moments, Yan Mo pulled the quilt back up.
"Oh my! Is that the point?" Zhao Luoluo lifted Yan Mo's quilt again. "The point is to try on the wedding dress, try on the wedding dress!"
"Liang Qingzhou said he would order the wedding dress. Anyway, the wedding is tomorrow, no need to try it on. Whatever he orders, I'll wear it. It's not like I'll be walking down the aisle naked, right!"
Zhao Luoluo widened her eyes. "You are really carefree! What do men know! Get up quickly, we are going to try on wedding dresses right now. You might only get married once in your life, and the wedding dress is a very important matter. Get up quickly, I'll take you to the largest wedding dress shop in Nancheng to try one on."
As she spoke, Zhao Luoluo dragged Yan Mo out of bed.
Yan Mo couldn't resist her, so she just threw on a long black and gold down jacket and was dragged away by Zhao Luoluo.
When they arrived at the wedding dress shop, Yan Mo immediately took a fancy to a wedding dress placed in the center of the shop, while a group of staff members were busy altering the size.
Zhao Luoluo's mouth was wide open, and she couldn't stop praising it from the side, "Wow, Momo, this is simply tailor-made for you!"
Turning around, she asked the staff member nearby, "Can my bestie try this one on? She is getting married tomorrow."
The staff members busy around the wedding dress clearly didn't have time to deal with them and replied perfunctorily: "This one cannot be tried on, and someone has already ordered it. You should choose another style. We are quite busy today, as you can see; the client for the wedding dress in front of us needs it expedited. You can look around yourselves first, and just call us when you've made a choice."
"Are you serious? How much is this wedding dress worth that it's worth all of you revolving around it?" Zhao Luoluo said with a face full of dissatisfaction. "Is this how you treat your clients?"
"We are really in a rush today, we hope you can understand." The staff member explained.
"Then we'll order a wedding dress too, expedited for tomorrow." Zhao Luoluo said, acting out of pique: "We want this exact one you are altering."
"Alright, please wait a moment." The staff member said, "Please prepare 188,000 first, and I will measure your size immediately."
"How much?"
Zhao Luoluo thought her ears were playing tricks on her and asked again.
"Including the expedited fee, 188,000." The staff member repeated. "It would be cheaper without the expedited service."
Even though Zhao Luoluo had a monthly allowance of 20,000, she still felt that this wedding dress was a bit expensive. "188,000 for one wedding dress?"
"No, that's the rental fee for one day."
