Chapter 643 Engagement Banquet
Lu Hongjun and Sister Lu were waiting downstairs, and were stunned when they saw Lu Jiaxin coming down from upstairs.
When they came down, Lu An praised: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today, more beautiful than the fairies in the sky."
"Why, my sister-in-law doesn't look good on weekdays?"
Lu An's mouth was sweet and he said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is also very beautiful on weekdays, but she is especially beautiful today. There is a saying, oh, by the way, this woman's wedding day is the most beautiful moment in their lives."
Lu Jiaxin looked at Sister-in-law Lu and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, just say this to Lu An, and you don't have to worry about his wife."
Sister-in-law Lu said, "I wish he would start a family as soon as possible, so that he would have less to worry about."
Lu An just laughed and said nothing.
With this look, there is clearly something going on! But now was not the time to ask this. When Lu Jiaxin heard the sound of the car, she immediately took a small mirror and took a look. Her makeup was intact.
Nie Zhan came in and saw Lu Jiaxin dressed up. His eyes were glued to her and he couldn't bear to turn away: "Jiaxin, you are so beautiful today."
Lu Jiaxin held his arm with a smile and said, "Let's go, we can't make the guests wait for us."
Everyone went out to ride in the car, and Lu An also complained in a low voice: "My aunt treats her differently. I say she is beautiful and deliberately makes things difficult; my uncle says she smiles."
Sister-in-law Lu said in a low voice: "Today is a good day for Auntie, please talk to me."
We arrived at the hotel at ten o'clock. At this time, everyone close to us came over. When Yu Meitong saw Lu Jiaxin, she started to praise her as if she was asking for no money. Lu Jiaxin laughed so much that her shoulders trembled.
Zong Shimeng pushed her and scolded her with a smile: "If you want Jia Xin to design your engagement dress, just say so. There is no need to flatter her like this."
Yu Meitong disagreed with this: "I'm not flattering, I mean it from the bottom of my heart."
Zong Shimeng was also joking and asked: "Why did you come here alone, where is Jiang Yuanjiu? Why didn't you bring him here."
Jia Xin and Nie Zhan are the two bosses of Wansheng Real Estate. Jiang Yuanjiu's attendance at the wedding will be good for his future development in the company. After all, he is the boyfriend of the boss's best friend, so this amount is extraordinary.
Yu Meitong explained: "My mother sprained her foot and went to the hospital to take care of a cold that was infected by a family member of a patient in the same ward. I was worried about infecting other guests, so I stopped coming."
Many of the guests who came today are rich or noble, and it is really not appropriate to come if you have a bad cold. At this time, Nie Zhan came over and said that Uncle Shi was coming and they wanted to go and greet him.
The Nie family had many guests today, and what surprised Lu Jiaxin the most was that the Guo family of Hongji Properties, the Li family of Henderson Land Development, and the Zheng family of New World were all here, and they were all second generations. Three of the four major families came, and several heavyweights from the political circles also came.
After all the guests had arrived, Mr. Nie and Lu Hongjun both went on stage to speak. Mr. Nie did not hesitate to praise Lu Jiaxin, saying that she was capable and motivated. It was their Nie family's blessing that Nie Zhan found such a good fiancée.
A bright smile appeared on Lu Jiaxin's face. Zhang Lanlan, who is also the daughter-in-law of the Nie family, lowered her head in order not to let others see the expression on her face.
After Mr. Nie finished speaking, it was Lu Hongjun's turn. He asked Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan to cherish each other, support each other, love each other and spend their lives together.
A distant relative of the Nie family saw Lu Hongjun, who was talking very arrogantly, and curiously asked Zhang Lanlan: "Didn't it mean that Miss Lu's father was in poor health and was hospitalized as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong? I saw that he spoke very arrogantly, no?" Like you're feeling sick?"
Zhang Lanlan said with a smile: "Uncle Lu had a craniotomy for cerebral hemorrhage in August. After he was discharged from the hospital, Jiaxin wanted to take him to Hong Kong for rehabilitation treatment but was unwilling. This time we came over for the engagement party, and as soon as we arrived in Hong Kong City, Jiaxin sent him to the hospital for surgery." General examination. The doctor said that post-operative rehabilitation will help you recover faster.”
She envied Lu Jiaxin very much, and occasionally felt a little jealous. However, this is all the family's business and must be protected externally.
"Why don't you take care of the elderly?"
Zhang Lanlan said with a smile on her face: "Jiaxin is busy from morning to night every day, and his aunt and nurses take care of him when he is picked up. However, he cannot speak Cantonese and English and is struggling at home. In the hospital these days, he always says to wait. Go home as soon as the engagement party is over.”
The latter sentence was not made up by her, but said by Lu Hongjun himself. Although he specially found a nurse who could speak Mandarin to give him injections and medicine, he was still feeling bored. He told Lu Jiaxin that he would rather recover more slowly and go home.
The distant relative heard this and said nothing more.
Then Nie Zhan took Lu Jiaxin's hand and walked up. Nie Zhan also thanked Mr. Nie for his hard teaching and cultivation, and also thanked Lu Jiaxin for his support and encouragement.
As for Lu Jiaxin, she talked about how she met Nie Zhan, and then thanked the guests who came to have a wedding banquet. Normally, you have to thank your parents, but if you ask Lu Jiaxin to thank Lu Hongjun... then forget it, don't waste this time.
After sitting down, Lu An saw lobster, abalone, and bird's nests placed on the table, and whispered, "How much does such a table cost?"
Lu Ping smiled and said: "You can just eat, why talk so much."
Lu An was a little emotional: "No wonder everyone has come to Hong Kong City. Look at the life of the people here, and then look at the life in the mainland..."
The cost of one meal was more than his annual salary. The disparity was huge.
Lu Ping said: "That's because you haven't been to the slums. The urban residents there are not as good as us."
Lu An didn't argue. There are rich and poor people everywhere, but the economy of Hong Kong is better than that of the mainland. The monthly salary of office workers here is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, which is more than 1,000 Chinese dollars according to the current exchange rate. His father's monthly salary is only about 500 yuan, so there is no comparison.
Lu Ping said: "It's a big gap now, but one day we will catch up. Eat quickly, or there will be no more."
Lu An saw that everyone was eating so happily and quickly joined the team. The chefs of the Peninsula Hotel are so good at cooking. They can eat all the food at the table, and they ate a lot in the end.
The guests sat down to eat, but Lu Jiaxin had to follow Nie Zhan to greet the guests. Seeing other people's weddings, I think they are very romantic and beautiful, but when it comes to my turn, I can only say one word, tired. ,
After sending the guests away. Seeing Lu Jiaxin's tired face, Nie Zhan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "Let's go eat."
"I just ate!"
Nie Zhan said with a smile, "What can you do with just two small bites? Let's go, I'll ask them to prepare an extra table of dishes that you like."
Lu Jiaxin felt sweet in her heart and walked into the private room with Nie Zhan.
After eating, Lu Jiaxin went back, and Nie Zhan stayed to deal with the rest. Because she was too tired, she fell asleep on the way back to Lu's house.
