The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Sometimes when Chen Yuan is alone, he thinks about what would have happened if he hadn't chosen to enter the workforce so early, but instead had finished university with his roommates before entering society... When he comes down from a business dinner, he takes a shower and is somewhat more awake. Looking at the night view outside the window, his thoughts often wander like water.

Why would you have such a thought?

Because at some point, he suddenly realized that people could be so busy...

He often gets up around 7 a.m. and goes to the Mingzhu City Energy Planning Bureau with his driver. He usually holds a meeting for about three hours in the morning. When he's not in a meeting, he goes with his subordinates to inspect the progress of projects in various places.

Many leaders would inquire about the contents of the report written by his subordinates, fearing that this "crown prince" would put them in a bad light and cause them to suffer undeserved disaster.

Even though Chen Yuan assured them countless times that he would be fair and just, they always felt that he was affiliated with a certain faction, and they were constantly worried.

At noon, he was going to have a video call with Jiang Ning.

After resigning, Jiang Ning was enjoying the most leisurely time of her life. She could do whatever she wanted with her time, and the most important thing she did every day was to find something to do...

To be honest, learning about parenting is a very boring thing. At first, she was anxious and always felt that it was a waste of her precious youth.

Chen Yuan realized this and went to great lengths to divert her attention.

He enrolled Jiang Ning in many extracurricular classes, including yoga, piano, sketching, and violin lessons. At first, Ning Ning was very interested, but after a while, she became unwilling to go. People are willing to work hard on things they are talented at, but Ning Ning was good at everything except music theory...

In the past, Ningning was always the one who progressed the fastest in any environment. She felt very uncomfortable when she fell behind others.

After realizing this trend, Chen Yuan quickly stopped all the extracurricular classes.

The consequence of this was that Ningning's need for Chen Yuan grew stronger and stronger... Yes, those two words are an apt description.

She always had to call Chen Yuan at noon to listen to him complain about work, and this became an essential habit... In the evening, as long as Chen Yuan wasn't out of town, she had to go home to sleep.

If I get home too early, I'll have to be back in my room by 8:30 pm.

Even if I get home late, I can only sleep after I've paid my grain tax.

Although it's cruel... Jiang Ning said she had no choice; she had become physically dependent on her husband and wanted to be with him all the time.

She asked Chen Yuan more than once if he could take her to work.

You can do nothing but follow him around, watching him from the office.

Chen Yuan was speechless.

Ningning isn't Thumbelina; she can't just put her in her pocket and take her wherever she wants.

Chen Yuan was even busier in the afternoon. Coincidentally, Jiang's headquarters launched a "spokesperson program," which refers to a trained spokesperson who is designated to speak to the outside world, internally, to the media, to superiors, and to foreign countries, under any circumstances and through any channel.

Furthermore, one must possess extremely high personal qualities and excel in every aspect.

Jiang Zhengfeng initially had no intention of letting Chen Yuan handle the matter because his daughter-in-law was pregnant... However, a group of board members insisted on putting him in charge, and they secretly decided on Chen Yuan's position as the chief examiner, who would also participate in the training and act as a spokesperson for foreign countries.

Now he's in a real bind. Not only does he have to organize an audit and assessment process, conducting a three-month nationwide selection, but he's also forced to learn the languages ​​of three countries, with his schedule packed full of classes.

Then, when I get home, I have to satisfy Ningning's every whim.

I'm so busy, I barely have time to breathe.

The only thing that could bring him any comfort was Yao Yao. Chen Yuan would occasionally find an excuse to stay in her room.

You don't need to say anything or consider her emotional value; just stay quietly.

Jiang Yao was playing video games like crazy, while he was resting in bed and watching a science fiction movie.

After two hours, I felt like I had replenished some of the energy I had lost.

Speaking of which, since Ningning became pregnant, Jiang Yao, who used to be immature, has become more and more sensible. She no longer forces Chen Yuan to share her time or demand more companionship. Instead, when Chen Yuan is busiest, she takes on the role of relieving Jiang Ning's anxiety about pregnancy.

Chen Yuan recalled that when he first entered university, he tried every means to find something to do because it was too boring outside of class. During that time, he tried many interesting games and always felt that life was so free that he could fly with wings.

Unexpectedly, that kind of life was gone forever in the blink of an eye.

But he also knew that he had no other choice.

At first, Chen Yuan was too far removed from Jiang Ning's level. She was a college graduate, successful in her career, and had a mature outlook on life and social experience. If Chen Yuan didn't try to catch up as soon as possible, the relationship would become extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

At least he succeeded, and now he can be a support for the two sisters.

This can be considered as being true to one's conscience.

……

Besides their overly fulfilling life, their wedding is just around the corner.

Chen Yuan's biggest feeling about this is that as he gets older, he has more and more say in his parents' lives.

Chen Yuan consulted his parents and Jiang Zhengfeng on many matters and ultimately made the final decision. Even details such as the scale of the banquet were decided by Chen Yuan.

No one treated him like a child anymore.

From now on, he will be the pillar of the entire family, the source of strength for his parents, the support for his wife, and the successor to the previous generation, continuing the legacy of the next.

Under such high pressure.

Finally, two things relieved Chen Yuan's pressure.

One is that the luxury store that Jiang Ruxue is collaborating with Zhou Cha is on the agenda. After hearing about this, Jiang Ning also got involved, finally giving Ning Ning something she was interested in doing.

The store's address, size, decoration, and design.

Jiang Ning handled almost the entire process.

She was so reliable that Zhou Cha was quite impressed; even being pregnant didn't dampen Jiang Ning's enthusiasm for work.

In just over a month, almost all of these issues were resolved.

Chen Yuan was happy for a while, but after he found that the shop was ready, things went back to normal... He had stopped making goji berry tea for a while, but he started drinking it again.

He couldn't leave out either Ningning or Yaoyao, doing this every single day. Even if he were an iron man, he couldn't keep it up.

Fortunately, he was young, and he could grit his teeth and persevere.

Just when Chen Yuan was in despair.

Jiang Yao stepped forward again.

She persistently played games with her older sister, finally making Jiang Ning realize how fun games were. Then the two sisters started playing games day and night, completely oblivious to the world around them...

Once, Chen Yuan watched the two of them fight.

He then discovered that Jiang Ning was actually quite good at the game! This was completely unexpected.

The days passed by.

someday.

What would normally be an insignificant day for many people, with everyone going to work or school as usual.

However, one letter appeared at the same time on their workstations, in front of their dormitories, and in their parcel lockers...

……

On the Lanjing subway to the company, a petite girl wearing a mask and Bluetooth earphones was holding onto the subway handrail, listening to music and immersing herself in her own world as if she were isolated from the world.

She was dressed very plainly, almost indistinguishable from the crowd. But every girl loves to look beautiful, and even someone as ordinary as her made a point of curling her eyelashes and wearing a dress.

This is a commute time that's no different from any other day.

She took the subway line 13 and arrived at her company building in twenty minutes.

"Xiao Wan, you're here right on time today."

"Hello, boss lady." Xiao Wan took off her headphones and greeted her.

She works as a game planner at a game company for several years. The job pays neither high nor low, and the commute is neither too far nor too short. It's not particularly good, but it's not bad either.

As an ordinary person, Xiao Wan is already very satisfied with this kind of life.

I took the elevator all the way to my cubicle.

Xiao Wan had just put down her bag when suddenly her eyes focused on her workstation, where there was a small pink envelope.

She was stunned for a moment, then picked it up curiously.

At first, Xiaowan thought someone might have put it in the wrong place and was afraid to open it, but she was the first to arrive at the company and the last to leave last night...

With this thought in mind, she opened the envelope:
What comes into view are lines of text:

"Hello.

I, Chen Yuan, along with my wife Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao, will hold our wedding at the Queen Hotel in Kyoto on July 15th.

Please arrive at the designated hotel one day in advance. Entry is at 10:00 AM and the wedding will begin at 11:00 AM.

A private driver has been arranged for you, my esteemed guest. Please contact us at 188...

Please join us in witnessing our happiness.

The letter exuded the fragrance of flower petals. As Xiao Wan read it, Chen Yuan's earnest face appeared before her eyes, and the tone of his voice, word by word, reflected his stubborn personality.

After reading the envelope, Xiao Wan suddenly realized something.

My best friend... my closest friend—Jiang Yao—is getting married!
"Boss! I need to take a leave of absence!"

Suddenly, Xiao Wan came out of her cubicle and hurried towards the boss's office.

Apart from her.

On the sun-drenched tree-lined avenue at Lanjing University.

Liu Nan and the others huddled together, each holding a letter, scrambling and arguing over it, their eyes wide with astonishment.

When Liu Nan woke up in the early morning and was still a bit dazed, he saw a letter on his desk. He rubbed his eyes and thought it was a love letter from a girl in some department. He was so excited that he went crazy.

Unexpectedly, this letter was even more exciting than a love letter.

"The third son is getting married?! And he's marrying two of them?! Mom... Am I really not reading a fairy tale?"

"It's normal for them to have money, right? Sigh... Do you think I should buy a suit? Otherwise, it'll be so embarrassing to be a groomsman."

“They got married, and the lovers finally got married. Lao San is a responsible man who never abandoned anyone. I acknowledge his persistence, and I feel a little touched.” Quan Yafeng, who is usually rough but thoughtful, had tears in his eyes at this moment.

Aside from genuinely being happy for his brother, he inevitably felt a sense of loss.

Just as Chen Yuan was starting to fall in love, he also realized his feelings for Li Bing. However, the story ended differently, which is quite poignant...

However, Quan Yafeng thought for a moment and realized that Chen Yuan would probably invite Li Bing to the wedding as well.
He immediately became expectant.

“I also need to wear a suit,” Quan Yafeng suddenly said.

The students, scattered across various universities and all from a small county town, were once good friends with Chen Yuan, but they all ended up in different cities.

Similarly, they received a special letter today.

Ultimately, these surprises and shocks coalesced into a lively discussion in the classmates' group chat.

After all, Chen Yuan was the first in their graduating class to get married.

Even the homeroom teacher who personally saw these students off has appeared in the QQ group.

"What? Chen Yuan is getting married? How come I didn't know about this? His dad didn't tell me either! Are you sure it's not fake news?" the homeroom teacher exclaimed in shock.

At the time, the boys in the class had a good relationship with Chen Yuan, and most of them were happy to hear the news. However, the girls were not so happy... After all, in the high school in the small county, Chen Yuan was an outstanding boy on campus. He was handsome, tall, and could play basketball.

At the time, many girls from other classes envied them for being in the same class as Chen Yuan.

The naive past has faded into the past. Someone once wrote a love letter to Chen Yuan and slipped it into his desk. Under the influence of this incident, those long-forgotten memories of youth have resurfaced one by one.

It's as if it happened just yesterday.

at the same time.

Even though she was far away in Hainan, Rou Rou learned about this.

She sat on the edge of the bed with mixed feelings.

Perhaps this time she truly understood that, apart from offering her blessings, her life and Chen Yuan's life had truly reached a crossroads, and there would be no other possibilities from now on.

The letters, like birds with wings, spread to many places.

This includes Jiang Yao, who has been a friend in the same group for several years. Although they have never met in person, they have a deep sisterly bond.

Jiang Ning's old friends from foreign lands also received the news and would hurry over from across the ocean, just as the letter had said.

Witness their happiness together
……

July.

July 15th, a sweltering summer day, a season brimming with boundless enthusiasm, the blazing sun relentlessly showering its heat upon the world.

The entrance to the Queen Hotel.

Countless luxury cars gathered, dazzling the eyes. The parking lot was full, and many cars were pushed onto the street. Even the wedding cars outside the glass revolving door of the main hall were squeezed out of space.

The heir to the Huaxia Jiang Family Energy Company will be getting married today. Only close friends and family know about it. Others are unaware of what is happening here and can only watch in awe as Rolls-Royces parade around half the city, their hoods adorned with vibrant roses.

Guests came from all over the country and gathered on the lawn behind the Queen Hotel, where weddings are specially held.

Sunlight streamed down, bathing the lush lawn in golden light. White rose hedges surrounded the lawn, and arched walkways supported the grass, with pure white silk ribbons cascading down from their tops.

A gentle breeze was blowing, creating a rather beautiful feeling.

The red carpet stretched from the flower archway to the ceremony platform, with guest seats on both sides and many flower girls and boys around.

A champagne tower and red wine were neatly arranged on the table, while melodious string music played continuously.

"Wow, that's really impressive."

"Didn't you already see it when you were setting it up yesterday? Why are you sighing about it again?"

"It's worth exclaiming a hundred times. What do you call a masterpiece? This is a masterpiece!" Liu Nan put his hand on Wei Zhen's shoulder. The two of them wore brooches with the words "Best Man" clearly showing their status.

It's a way to steal a moment of leisure from my busy schedule.

After all, as best men, they have a lot to do; they are the backbone of ensuring the smooth running of the wedding.

"Who's at that table?" Liu Nan nudged Wei Zhen's lower back and gestured with his chin toward a table of girls on the grass.

"They must be friends of Teacher Jiang or Sister Yaoyao, judging by their age."

"They're all so beautiful..."

"Of course, birds of a feather flock together, and pretty girls hang out with pretty girls."

"That's right, no wonder the third brother is like a brother to us. It seems the four of us in the dorm are all on the same level in terms of looks, tsk tsk." Liu Nan stroked his chin and said.

Wei Zhen was speechless and rolled her eyes at him on the spot.

"Stop babbling and come with me to Chen Yuan's room. A table full of leaders are waiting for us to serve them tea and water. We need to be prepared to be their servants."

As he spoke, he pulled Liu Nan, who was reluctant to leave the beautiful woman, away.

And that table not far away.

A group of girls were having a lively discussion.

"Yaoyao-chan is so capable, it's no exaggeration. Judging from her demeanor, she must have married into a wealthy family."

"Oh dear, don't say that! I'll get a share of the dowry too... Hey? Have you guys seen Yao Yao's husband's picture?"

"Look!"

"Holy crap, he's so handsome! I just really like his type," a beautiful woman who was over 1.7 meters tall and wearing high heels, practically a nine-head figure, exclaimed excitedly. "Do you think I could ask Yao Yao if I could borrow her husband for a couple of days?"

"Get lost! How can you be like this in the group chat and still act like this in real life?" said a girl with pink hair dressed like Salafine.

Her outburst immediately caused the girls at the table to burst into laughter.

"Hmph, at least I dare to say it, that's called being outspoken," the beautiful woman with long, straight black hair retorted stubbornly.

The two of them were the two lively characters in Jiang Yao's rich women's group. They bickered with each other all day long and had a very good relationship. One of them was called Tyrannosaurus Rex Black Emperor Beauty, and the other had a slightly more artistic name, One Night Maple.

In any case, from netizens to reality.

Jiang Yao has finally given everyone who sought solace online a chance to meet in person.

Inside the hotel, since the wedding hadn't started yet, the groom, as usual, chatted with the elders, listening to their wise advice and understanding of marriage. It was basically just casual conversation. The bride was busy getting ready and couldn't show up.

So Chen Yuan stayed with all the guests in the room.

Among them were Lao Chen and Liu He's relatives and friends, as well as senior leaders from the company. Fortunately, the atmosphere was suitable, and no unexpected situations arose. Instead, they discussed national affairs intensely, while the women talked about marriage. They chatted about their own things and found themselves in a surprisingly harmonious way.

The fragrant tea fueled everyone's conversation.

Chen Yuan used the lively atmosphere to try to ease his inner tension.

Unexpectedly, this dreamlike wedding day arrived so quickly. Before it came, he counted on his fingers when he could bring his two most beloved women home.

However, before they knew it, the wedding day had arrived.

All the preparations and the gathering of guests today are to witness the happiness of a newlywed couple, and marriage is the greatest transformative moment that every boy will experience in his life.

This means he will single-handedly support his family and protect his loved ones from hardship.

This means that he and the person he loves will embark on a life together, seeking meaning in the everyday routines of life.

Chen Yuan was dressed in a suit and looked exceptionally handsome; none of the boys present looked as good as him.

Because he was the only groom. (End of Chapter)
