Free Web NovelChapter 1177: Chapter 1179
Zhao Xuran hurriedly flew to the United States, leaving those who kept a close watch on his activities utterly stunned.
Though they thought the plan was executed well, the fact that Dai Liren managed to connect with Zhao Guangran and the others by flying over truly puzzled people.
If it weren’t for their investigation into the situation, which confirmed that Gong Ruini and Dai Liren met for the first time on the plane, they would have thought they were acting.
The Zhao Family and Dai Family connecting like this already stirred various anxieties.
While Zhao Guangran may easily manage them, can Dai Liren?
Even if he’s not the primary heir trained by the Dai Family, he can’t be completely clueless.
What shocked and worried them more was how Dai Liren and Zhao Guangran hadn’t ventured out for a long time, causing tension.
Despite their findings showing Dai Liren had no record of stock speculation, another result of their investigation left them flabbergasted.
It turned out Dai Liren was a top student in the Math department. Even though these are two completely different fields, what if Zhao Guangran decided to give him some guidance in finance?
Plus, the fact that they’ve been cooped up inside for so long, isn’t that suspicious?
Luckily, they later flew to Los Angeles for a trip, which allowed them to see the relationship between Zhao Guangran and Dai Liren was quite ordinary.
The two were sulking the whole time like people with a sour disposition. They considered if they were acting, but their relationship truly seemed mediocre.
Before they could figure out the relationship between Zhao Guangran and Dai Liren, Zhao Xuran flew over.
This was the person who made people the most wary, even more so than Zhao Guangran and Dai Liren. This guy has never been one with a good temper.
When he started university and gradually took over the family business, some were dissatisfied with his parachuted position. He rudely sent those seasoned employees to marginal departments or made them leave.
This earned him a bad reputation, but he quickly took control of the company’s power.
Could his arrival be to find a school for his future overseas studies?
Zhao Xuran had no idea his arrival was met with a mixture of expectations and dilemmas, as he was quite busy.
"Let’s go look at wedding dresses," Zhao Xuran said with anticipation, looking at Gong Ruini.
Wedding dresses? Gong Ruini gave Zhao Xuran a puzzled look. Although marriage was certain, even if it wasn’t on the agenda yet, it was because they were quite busy.
"Not willing?" Gong Ruini’s attitude hurt Zhao Xuran.
Zhao Xuran clearly talked with friends about it and asked Zhao Guangran when he got here. All said girls would absolutely love wearing a beautiful wedding dress to get married.
The problem was why his wife didn’t like it. He was baffled and felt hurt.
Not willing? Of course she was, but the problem was, "What if the dresses we look at this year go out of fashion in a few years?"
Gong Ruini was anxious too, but she hoped their wedding would be memorable for a lifetime.
They were going to be significant figures in the future, and the wedding absolutely couldn’t be just a casual affair.
She couldn’t bear the thought of people downplaying their wedding as lacking grandeur.
Oh, it’s because of that. Zhao Xuran genuinely didn’t know this, "I don’t have experience."
Heh heh heh, Gong Ruini wanted to spray Zhao Xuran’s face with scorn. Are you planning to be inexperienced for your first wedding and gain experience for subsequent ones?
That’s outrageous, more than a little outrageous.
"We need to plan together and have a wedding you like," Zhao Xuran recalled that the wedding must be to the wife’s liking; otherwise, she’d keep brooding over it.
His friend’s wedding was somewhat ordinary, but fitting for their circumstances, seemingly the best wedding they could arrange.
Yet even this friend’s wife later complained it wasn’t well done, saying details like the wedding attire weren’t perfect or asking why it wasn’t a wedding dress and so on.
Zhao Xuran truly didn’t understand why there were so many shortcomings, but after asking several friends, they all said wives were extremely particular about this.
Since they all said so, Zhao Xuran followed his friends’ advice, "Have you thought about how the wedding should be held?"
How the wedding should be held? Of course, as grand as possible, "I want to have a lawn wedding."
Lawn wedding? What’s that? Zhao Xuran didn’t get it and looked at Zhao Guangran.
Zhao Guangran was studying in the United States but hadn’t attended a western-style wedding, so he was clueless too.
Oops, she forgot. How could she casually say this idea out loud? Renee also felt quite regretful.
"Well, I was thinking of an outdoor wedding, a self-serve style," Renee elaborated on the type of wedding she wanted.
Actually, if possible, Renee wished to have a wedding by the seaside, but the idea was impractical.
Not just considering how relatives would get there, but also the business partners from both families, would they have time to go to the seaside for their wedding?
Everyone is busy, and they certainly wouldn’t give up business to attend a wedding.
Receiving an invitation but not contributing a gift is also unacceptable, which would definitely make them think the Zhao Family and Gong Family just want the gifts without the guests enjoying the food and drinks, surely leading to criticism.
Listening to Renee’s plan, Zhao Guangran found it a good idea. Domestic weddings lack meaning, with people just eating and drinking, chatting a bit at the table or maybe nearby tables, but certainly not mingling throughout the venue.
Full mingling would make people feel they’re stealing the spotlight from the host, but Renee’s suggestion would definitely satisfy the various guests.
"It’s a good idea, but I wonder if it will be well-received," Zhao Xuran thought this would enhance guest interaction.
Aside from bestowing blessings on the couple, weddings are also a chance to meet people and expand one’s network.
Yet, the key issue is, "Some people prefer to sit down for a proper meal."
"There are seats, and the dishes they like are available in unlimited quantities," Renee didn’t see a problem here and believed it would meet many people’s needs.
"Besides, are they lacking food and drink?" Such a great opportunity for interaction should definitely outrank dining and drinking.
Gong Ruzhi felt his sister’s idea was great, but she forgot one crucial thing, "Sis, did you forget about our uncle and cousins?"
"Also, did you forget about our uncles?" Gong Ruzhi recalled the last time Cai Zhiheng passed away, during their mourning, the alleged uncle’s demeanor he really didn’t want to remember.
Nothing but nightmares, Gong Ruzhi really couldn’t comprehend why despite his mother and uncle being so cultured and refined, they still had such unreasonable relatives.
Those people, speechless; really didn’t know what to do. Gong Ruini getting reminded of them gives her a headache.
Not inviting them would be liberating, but they’d definitely spread gossip saying the wealthy brothers look down on them.
Invite them, and they’d surely wear shabby clothes to the event, intending to criticize the brothers for being successful but having no familial affection.
Worry, various kinds of worry, leaving Renee contemplating skipping the wedding entirely and just registering the marriage. Zhao Xuran might not mind, but Zhao Gang would agree?
Nor would Gong Tao approve. Alas, such worries.
