Free Web NovelChapter 497: Chapter 493: Hurry Up and Get Ready
Gu Jiaojiao was in a hurry to go see the spectacle her cousin was making of herself. She threw on her clothes at top speed, only to find Leng Yuan staring at her with his deep eyes.
Gu Jiaojiao looked baffled. "What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and get dressed, or we’ll miss the show."
Ever since he realized he had almost put his foot in his mouth, Chen JianShe hadn’t dared to speak carelessly. He now shot a cautious glance at his Brother Leng and saw Leng Yuan’s expression soften as he walked to the side, picked up his clothes, and started to change.
Gu Jiaojiao, eager to watch the excitement, hurried toward the door.
Leng Yuan pulled her back. He took a scarf, gloves, and earmuffs from a nearby clothes rack and put them all on Gu Jiaojiao, only then looking satisfied.
Gu Jiaojiao’s delicate little face was flushed, buried in a snow-white rabbit-fur scarf. She looked adorable no matter how you looked at her.
Chen JianShe was used to this. Sometimes he really suspected that when his Brother Leng doted on his wife, he was actually spoiling her like a child.
This meticulous care was more attentive than how one would look after their own daughter.
At the very least, his own sister didn’t get this kind of treatment from their father.
Once the three of them were bundled up, they walked out the door.
Seeing that Leng Yuan wasn’t angry, Chen JianShe immediately reverted to his goofy self and started gossiping about Yun Hao’s wedding.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how many banquet tables Yun Hao is setting up?"
Gu Jiaojiao shook her head. "I don’t know."
"Eleven tables."
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t have much of a reaction, just giving a faint "Mm."
She didn’t know much about setting up banquets in the Qingshan Team. Even though she’d been married once, Leng Yuan had worried about everything. Her only job had been to look beautiful.
Leng Yuan had taken care of inviting the guests, arranging the food, and organizing the banquet at their home. All she did was help figure out the portion sizes for the feast.
But she knew from Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhao that the food at their wedding had been excellent. At least, no one in the Qingshan Team had ever had such a lavish spread.
She didn’t know anything else.
She had even less of a clue about how many tables to set up.
But Chen JianShe never failed to deliver.
"Yun Hao is an educated youth, so he doesn’t have any family or friends here. That means only the other educated youth from the station will come, which is one table. Then there are the village chief’s relatives. The chief doesn’t have many relatives, so three tables would be more than enough for them."
"With all the kids nowadays, that probably comes out to five tables. You might prepare one extra table just in case, making six tables at the absolute most. But he’s actually preparing eleven tables."
Thinking about it, Chen JianShe shook his head and speculated, "I wonder if Yun Hao is just bad at math. He can’t even count properly."
A flash of sarcasm crossed Leng Yuan’s eyes.
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t think too much about it, but she couldn’t agree with Chen JianShe’s theory.
’He’s the male lead of the novel, how could he not even know basic arithmetic? As for why he’s really doing this, Gu Jiaojiao just thought he had a screw loose.’
"He probably has too much money and nowhere to spend it!"
’With that kind of money, he could go see a doctor! Why waste it?!’
’Then again, maybe Yun Hao has other guests!’
’But in this weather, even if he did have guests from out of town, there’s no way they could make it here!’
Gu Jiaojiao stepped into the snow, and her calves were immediately swallowed by the powder.
The snow was so thick that not even a donkey cart could get through.
Chen JianShe clicked his tongue. "Is Yun Hao’s family really that rich? I always heard his family was well-off, but this is the first time I’ve seen his financial might."
"It’s a shame, though. The snow’s coming down so hard they can only fit eight tables inside. When I passed by just now, the cook was in there cursing up a storm!"
