Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Inside the bride's room on the second floor, Chu Shirou's mother was stunned for a moment when she saw the neatly parked caravan of cars outside the window, looking somewhat bewildered.

Then her face darkened.

They actually brought a whole fleet of luxury cars! How is that possible? Didn't we already make arrangements?

"How was it, Mom? Your son-in-law didn't disappoint you, did he?" Chu Shirou chuckled.

"Hmph!" Chu Shirou's mother snorted coldly and remained silent.

"Why are there so many welcoming drinks?" Chu Shirou noticed something and frowned as she asked, "Wasn't it just a token gesture?"

Chu Shirou's mother spoke up quietly, "Hmph, ten bottles of welcoming wine symbolize perfection; it needs to be complete. How can we just offer a token gesture? Not a single bottle can be missing!"

"How can you do this? Others set obstacles just to go through the motions, but you're deliberately making things difficult for people!" Chu Shirou said indignantly, her eyes showing a hint of anger and worry.

Mother Chu scolded, "I said you haven't even left the house yet, and you're already thinking so much for him? How can you expect him to be satisfied without giving him a challenge? Will he cherish what he gets easily? Sit up straight! What kind of behavior is this? Are you still a lady of a respectable family?!"

"Aren't you afraid Grandpa will be angry?" Chu Shirou asked through gritted teeth.

Mother Chu said coldly, "Heh, your grandfather went out a long time ago. Today is my daughter's wedding, so I'm in charge. You better behave yourself, or I'll give that brat a good beating!"

"Mom, when did you become like this? Don't you want to see me happy?" Disappointment flashed in Chu Shirou's eyes.

"Mom is only thinking about your happiness. You can only be happy if you marry into the Yang family, understand?"

"What's so special about that guy surnamed Su? Doesn't he have to rely on our Chu family?"

Do you know how many people gossip behind your back?

"Yang Sheng likes you, and he even divorced his wife and returned to China specifically for you."

"Look at you, you two were in love once, can't you just get back together?"

"Think carefully about whether this makes sense. Besides, the Yang family promised that as long as you marry into their family, they will help us make connections overseas. Do you know what this means for the Chu family?"

Chu's mother spoke with great conviction.

Chu Shirou's disappointment deepened: "I'm about to get married, why are you telling me this? Are you trying to upset me? Or are you using me as a bargaining chip?!"

Mother Chu took a deep breath: "It's not that you don't like Yang Sheng. He did some things that wronged you in the past, but he's repented now. Shouldn't we look forward?"

"Let me put it this way, the Yang family will help your father take power. Otherwise, as long as your uncle is around, our branch of the family will never have a chance to rise up. Do you understand?"

Chu's mother's tone suddenly softened: "Rou'er, I'm trying to bring you to your senses. Ask yourself, have you really let go of Yang Sheng? Just choose the life you want. Your parents will take care of everything else. You don't need to worry about so much. Go ahead and go with Yang Sheng. Your father and I will handle things with your grandfather!"

Chu Shirou felt increasingly uneasy as she listened: "Mom, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Anyway, I've made my point clear: I only recognize Yang Sheng as my son-in-law. I've raised you for so many years, it's time for you to contribute something to the family!"

"you--"

......

Ye Chen overheard the conversation inside.

It's not his fault that he has such good hearing.

It's clear that Chu Shirou's mother is extremely opposed to this marriage!

They still only recognize Yang Sheng? How can they possibly recognize him?

If Chu Shirou is unwilling, can they forcibly take her away?

Ye Chen sneered. Or was he trying to get them all drunk and put their brains into a dormant state?

What if we are unable to handle emergencies?

I must say, they're quite cautious, with each step linked to the next!

If Ye Chen hadn't known beforehand that the man surnamed Yang was planning to abduct the bride, he wouldn't have made that connection.

It can only be said that he knew the answer first, so he deduced the solution steps by working backward.

The welcoming drink must be offered as a token gesture, just to show it; otherwise, the conversation can't continue.

We can't let things get too tense with so many people involved; that wouldn't be good for anyone.

Xiao Ming stepped forward, picked up a bottle of Maotai, opened it, and filled a cup!

The cup is a disposable water cup, and it contains quite a lot of water, probably about two ounces.

"Come on, recite the drinking toast and let's drink! My heart for Miss Chu Shirou is as clear as day!" Xiao Ming said heartily.

The bride's bridesmaids and the relatives and friends who blocked the way were slightly taken aback.

"Stop drinking with words of protest," oh right, I think that's something like that. They wouldn't know how to stop drinking with words of protest.

Fortunately, a mobile phone is a good thing. Someone immediately found it on the spot and read it aloud from the phone!

Once a toast has been given, there's nothing more to say; for good luck, everyone has to drink a glass!

Xiao Ming picked up his wine glass, about to drink, when Xiao Qiang stopped him: "Hehe, it's not your turn, the groom, to make the entrance yet. Let me do it!"

As he spoke, Xiaoqiang snatched the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, his face immediately scrunching up like a shoe upper.

Holy crap, that's the power of high-proof liquor!

Downing a glass of alcohol all at once is something most people can't handle!

Xiaoqiang was also panting heavily and it took him a long time to catch his breath. Someone handed him a bottle of mineral water, and he quickly drank a few sips before he felt a little better.

Zhou Chao then stepped forward and called out, "Come on, pour all the wine! There are so many of us, this little bit isn't enough. Pour it all out!"

The groomsmen understood, took out the disposable cups, lined them up in rows, and then started pouring the drinks!

It's normal for a little bit to spill out from time to time!

The bridesmaids and the bride's relatives shouted, "Don't spill it! You can't go back on your word!"

"What's the big deal? It's just a few bottles of wine. We men have never been afraid of anything!" Zhou Chao boasted.

In no time, all ten bottles of wine were poured out!

Everyone symbolically picked up a cup and drank it. Although the wine was good, at this moment, the people probably didn't taste how good it was!

After just one drink, some people couldn't take it anymore; not everyone can drink a pound or two.

If this is all drunk, the bride won't even need to be received; she can just go straight into the bridal chamber right here.

Some people each took a glass, whether they drank it or not is unknown, but the atmosphere was set and the attitude was appropriate.

Zhou Chao drank two glasses and felt a little dizzy. He reached for a third glass but got drunk and passed out. Before he collapsed, he automatically navigated to other piles of alcohol.

Now that most of the wine has been spilled, it has drawn a barrage of complaints and curses.

The main evidence of forgery is too obvious, and the methods used are rather underhanded; these are all clichéd online practices.

Xiao Ming kicked him a few times in response: "If you can't drink, then don't drink. It's embarrassing. Hehe, consider the spilled wine as a tribute to heaven and earth. May heaven and earth bear witness to my marriage with Rou Rou!"

With that, Xiao Ming downed his drink in one gulp! He then turned the glass upside down to show it to everyone!

In fact, everyone has their own limits.

Playing around is fine, but these kinds of things should be taken lightly; just a token gesture is enough.

With so much wine, if the groom gets drunk here, the rest of the ceremony will be impossible to continue.

The main part about giving out red envelopes hasn't happened yet. Once the red envelopes arrive, everything will be fine!
