NOVEL NEXT Chapter 300: Chapter 3001 Sit at the Kids’ Table_l

Seeing the bridesmaids blocking the door, Fu Yanjie immediately took out red envelopes, handing one to each person.
They were thick red envelopes, at least a thousand yuan apiece.
Then he put his hands together in a gesture of prayer, “Ladies, please let me through.”
“Hmph, we can’t let you in so easily,” one of the bridesmaids said. “You have to answer a few questions first.”
Fu Yanjie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Go ahead.”
“First question, what’s the bride’s lunar birthday?
“The second day of May.”
“Who will do the housework after the wedding?”
“Me!”
“And who will manage the money?”
“My wife.”
“Recite the bride’s mobile number backwards.
“73368576031.”
The bridesmaid group asked more than a dozen questions, and Fu Yanjie answered them all in the shortest possible time.
This shocked Jiang Xu to the core.
This kid, when did he get so good?
Fu Yanjie was secretly proud of himself.
Sorry, but he had already bribed all the bridesmaids except for An Nuonuo in advance.
He also had all the answers memorized beforehand.
Despite his honest appearance, he actually had quite a few clever tricks up his sleeve.
The procession was able to smoothly enter the bride’s room.
According to local customs, the groom had to carry the bride to the car.
Jiang Xu was pulling An Nuonuo aside, sitting in a car by themselves.
As soon as they got in the car, An Nuonuo rested her head on Jiang Xu’s shoulder and didn’t speak.
Having been together for so long, Jiang Xu was very accurate in reading An Nuonuo’s thoughts.
The girl must have envied the scenes she saw tonight.
Perhaps she too felt a sudden urge to get married.
Touching her silky, shiny hair, he said, “When we get married, I will prepare a wedding of the century for you.
Let the whole world witness our love.”
“That’s too wasteful,” An Nuonuo stuck out her tongue playfully. “I think
something simple would be nice.”
Jiang Xu laughed, “So does that mean you agree to marry me?”
“Hmph, you’re so bad, tricking me on purpose.
The girl gently hit him.
The driver in the front seat:
Alright, alright, it wasn’t enough to eat the bride and groom’s dog food tonight, so you’re joining in, huh?
Everything didn’t wrap up until around three or four in the morning.
Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to rest in their room.
In the morning, they still had to eat sweet rice dumplings and so on.
Jiang Shan and Chen Yue also made a special trip back for the occasion.
Thanks to Jiang Xu acting as a mediator, the relationship between his parents and Fu Yanjie’s parents had also gotten much better.
“Nuonuo, long time no see, I’ve missed you so much.
As soon as Chen Yue saw An Nuonuo, she was as affectionate as if she had seen her own daughter.
Holding her hand, she was exceedingly warm and had an endless stream of chatter.
Her own son suddenly not as appealing anymore.
By now, Jiang Xu was used to it and let Mrs. Chen be.
“Nuonuo, have you been eating more lately?” Chen Yue touched An Nuonuo’s stomach, asking with hopeful anticipation.
An Nuonuo wasn’t so naive as to not understand the implication of Chen Yue’s words.
She blushed and said no.
“Oh, I see.” Chen Yue was a bit disappointed.
Then she turned to glare at Jiang Xu, sending a silent message: Useless, look at
Fu Yanjie, he’s about to become a father!
Jiang Xu: ”…”
Mrs. Chen, aren’t you rushing things a bit?
I’m still a child myself.
But, of course, Jiang Xu wouldn’t dare argue.
Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer.
Ah, life is tough for me.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was noon.
The scale of Fu Yanjie’s wedding was impressive.
The minimum cost per table was thirty thousand yuan.
The dishes served were also very lavish.
As his best friend, Jiang Xu gave a generous gift of fifty million yuan.
An Nuonuo followed suit with Jiang Xu.
They split the fifty million equally in two, giving half to Fu Yanjie and the other half to Zhang Yuanyuan.
After all, both were her friends.
Probably no one at the venue had given more than Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.
Even the entrepreneurial friends of Fu Xinghan.
Being able to give a few hundred thousand, or around a million, was already quite impressive.
So when Fu Xinghan found out about the cash gift from Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, he scrambled over.
Insisting that the amount was too much.
Jiang Xu smiled and said, “Uncle, it’s not too much, he’s my only good brother. Plus, when Nuonuo and I get married, he’ll have to return the favor, won’t he?” Although An Nuonuo’s face turned red, she nodded in agreement.
Fu Xinghan patted his shoulder and exclaimed, “My boy is blessed to have you as a good brother; it’s the fortune of many lifetimes.”
The banquet began.
Everyone took their seats.
An Feng was there too.
He came alone, not bringing Zhang Xiaohui with him.
Having not seen him for a while, An Feng’s aura had grown even more commanding.
Already, he carried the presence of a major bigwig.
In fact, if it weren’t for Jiang Xu’s interference, An Feng’s net worth would be even greater now.
An Feng joined Fu Xinghan’s table.
Jiang Xu took a table with An Nuonuo and the kids.
Uh-huh, kids no older than twelve.
Sitting with the children during the feast was the happiest thing.
Because they basically just ate fried food and various drinks.
Those really good dishes, they didn’t touch at all.
Which entirely benefited Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.
“Come on, eat up,” Jiang Xu kept offering An Nuonuo food.
The young girl’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at Jiang Xu: “You’re so clever.”
Jiang Xu smiled without a word.
He had always liked to do this at feasts before.
Especially in the countryside, you absolutely don’t want to sit at the same table as the old men and women.
Jiang Xu had experienced it once and never wished to do so again.
Oh boy.
As soon as the dishes were served, before Jiang Xu could even pick up his chopsticks, the older folks had already packed the food into plastic bags. At that time, Jiang Xu’s expression could only be described as an old man gaping at a smartphone.
Fu Yanjie was extremely busy today and was destined not to eat properly.
He had just sat down when he had to start toasting.
The kid was honest—actually drinking real alcohol.
Even though it was wine, his face turned beet red from drinking.
With many guests present, about five or six hundred tables, if he drank with all of them, it would take a week for him to sober up.
Jiang Xu shook his head and said to An Nuonuo, “Eat up, I’ll go help him ward off some drinks.”
With that, he got up and went to the kitchen, returned with empty bottles, and filled them with cola.
Then poured in just a bit of red wine.
This could mask the taste of the cola and also get rid of the fizz.
Jiang Xu joined the fray: “Friends and relatives of Yanjie, I’ll toast on his behalf.”
Fu Yanjie immediately looked at him with gratitude.
Truly a good brother, covering for one another.
The banquet continued until one or two o’clock, with guests gradually departing.
Fu Yanjie looked at Jiang Xu in shock: “How come you drank so much without any effect?”
He was even stuttering a bit as he spoke.
Jiang Xu replied, “Because I was drinking Cola.
Fu Yanjie was speechless, “No one can beat you when it comes to being sly.” Jiang Xu patted his shoulder: “Alright, you better go rest, or you won’t have the energy for the wedding night.”
Fu Yanjie retorted, “No worries, I can choose not to exert any energy.
Jiang Xu replied, “Six six six.”
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo also left.
“Leaving tomorrow?” An Nuonuo looked up slightly at Jiang Xu. Her bright, sparkling eyes clearly carried a sense of reluctance. Jiang Xu had already booked his ticket to Mei Country.
He had to go find Quantou Company.
He didn’t plan to take An Nuonuo with him.
After all, while some places there were very safe, other areas were incredibly dangerous.
“So…” An Nuonuo bit her lip slightly.
As if she had made a certain decision, she took a deep breath and said, “Then tonight, I…”
