Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 318 - 225 Wedding Banquet and Prince

Chapter 318: Chapter 225 Wedding Banquet and Prince

9:58 a.m.!

The wedding car departed on time amidst a festive atmosphere, with a long procession circling around from another road before heading towards Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel.

Located in the heart of the city, this four-star hotel was not as luxurious as Bafang International or Tianxiang Garden, but to the average person, it was still considered a rare extravagance.

At 10:30 a.m., the procession stopped at the entrance of the Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel, where the bride and groom held hands and stepped out of the car to applause and blessings.

The hotel was also set to host a Western-style wedding ceremony, and Li Fei’s parents were already waiting in the lobby, where lively celebrations were inevitable.

Chu Mo got out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and immediately saw the girl named Xia Xue. After some rest, her complexion had gained a bit of color, though she still looked rather listless.

Chu Mo waved at her, and Xia Xue immediately freed herself from Qiu Shui’s support and briskly walked over.

“Feeling better? It’s good to drink some hot water after being drunk.”

“Mhm!”

Xia Xue, with her curved eyebrows, responded and Chu Mo nodded slightly on seeing a blush on her face; then they both headed towards the interior of the hotel.

Li Fei’s family and friends had all arrived, and, along with his schoolmates, had filled over thirty tables. Of the eight bridesmaids, four were with the bride, and the other four, including Qiu Shui, Ru Yu, and Liang Bing, were seated in the private rooms. As for Xia Xue, she followed Chu Mo.

Chu Mo casually found an empty seat and sat down, with Xia Xue obediently taking the place next to him like a little kitten. Her eyes curved into crescents, glancing occasionally at Chu Mo’s face, and seemed to have regained some energy compared to her earlier wilted state in the car.

“Mr. Chu, I’m sorry, I overstepped earlier!”

As Xia Xue apologized softly with her head bowed, Chu Mo looked at her and then shook his head with a smile:

“It’s nothing. If it weren’t for you, I would be the one lying down here. By the way, has Qiu Shui mentioned it to you? Would you be willing to stay by my side and work as my stand-in secretary, helping me with some private matters?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Xue, who had been bowing her head, immediately sat up straight, her crescent eyebrows raised at the tips, her whole being excited:

“Mr. Chu, I don’t have the wisdom and decisiveness of Ru Yu and Liang Bing, and I even failed to help you ward off the drinks, but rest assured, from today on, I will strive to improve my alcohol tolerance, so that if a situation like this ever arises again, I will be able to help you!”

“Haha!”

The young girl was very serious as if she really intended to start working on her drinking ability from that day on. The determined look in her eyes, shaped like crescents, made Chu Mo laugh.

He took a sip of the tea in front of him and then said with a smile:

“In the future… such situations should not occur again. I only have that rascal Li Fei as a close friend, and this is the only time I’ll be a best man. Besides this, on the banquet table, no one can force drinks on me, so you don’t need to ward off drinks for me. And as a girl, there’s no need for you to build up alcohol tolerance.”

“Oh…!”

The girl named Xia Xue responded softly, then appeared contemplative.

At that moment, a shout suddenly came from nearby. Turning his head, Chu Mo saw Wang Tuo, Xu Shu, Du Yanyan, and Ling Yue, a bunch of former classmates, all rushing over. More than a dozen college friends couldn’t all sit at one table, so another was added next to it before everyone settled down. With the host now on stage, the wedding ceremony in the hotel officially began.

“Ladies and gentlemen, leaders, and friends, good day!

With the sun shining bright, the songs soaring, and laughter filling the air, bringing good fortune from above, we have come together on this wonderful day, in this splendid autumn time, to celebrate the happy union of a loving couple.

First of all, please allow me to represent the newlyweds and their families in expressing our heartfelt gratitude and warm welcome to all guests present! Now, I hereby announce that the wedding celebration ceremony begins now…!”

The melodious and cheerful songs started, and on the stage, best friend Li Fei and his bride made their appearance. Chu Mo looked seriously at the bride for the first time. Clad in a white wedding dress, she had fair skin, was about 1.6 meters tall, with her long hair elegantly pinned up, and had a lovely face. She could definitely score eighty-five points.

Chu Mo muttered to himself softly, then slightly curled up the corners of his mouth.

This girl was just right for Li Fei; they made a good match!

He was genuinely happy for his friend having found his other half.

Meanwhile, at the wedding table, Wang Tuo, who was sitting next to Chu Mo, suddenly stood up. He looked around and then eagerly said to several classmates:

“I just went to welcome the bride and haven’t yet offered my gift. Have you all presented yours?”

Upon hearing this, class leader Du Yanyan said with a smile:

“We all have, just you and Chu Mo, the two groomsmen, are left!”

Wang Tuo nodded and then asked: “Is it the same amount we discussed earlier, a thousand each?”

After Du Yanyan nodded, Wang Tuo got up to head to the entrance, but Chu Mo suddenly gestured to him and said:

“Wait, Wang Tuo, I won’t go. You include mine with yours, write my name down. I have the card here, and I’ll tell Li Fei the PIN.”

Wang Tuo agreed without any objections, taking the bank card from Chu Mo’s hand. As he was about to turn around, he hesitated and asked:

“If they ask how much is in here later, what should I say…?”

Chu Mo waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

“Just tell the groom to know, one card from the Agricultural Bank will do for the gift money!”

Wang Tuo, not one for many words, immediately turned around and headed for the hotel entrance, where Li Fei’s relatives were specially in charge of collecting the gift money.

On the stage, the host was stringing together witty remarks, and as the couple served tea and poured wine for their parents amid a joyous atmosphere, the parents stepped down from the stage. At this moment, the host spoke again:

“To be honest, in all my years as a host, this is the most formidable group of bridesmaids I’ve ever seen. Let’s welcome the four bridesmaids to the stage with the warmest round of applause!”

Originally, the hall only echoed with a sparse smattering of applause, but when the four bridesmaids, dressed in light purple gauze skirts, joined hands and made their entrance, the entire wedding hall erupted in astonishment and various murmurs immediately filled the venue.

Stealing the show?

Definitely stealing the show.

The bride, who had seemed lovely and elegant on stage, suddenly faded in comparison when the four Heavenly Immortal-like bridesmaids appeared. The entire hall’s attention focused on the four fairy-like bridesmaids, to the point where even the host’s eyes were wide open in amazement!

However, the next moment after the bridesmaids made their appearance, they amiably stood behind the bride, willingly playing the role of greenery to highlight the bride, who stood in the center, making her even more outstanding.

The host on the stage once again began a series of witty remarks, interspersed with blessings and small interactive games filled with humor, reviving the atmosphere in the hall. The bridesmaids tactfully let the bride take center stage, whether it was interacting with the host’s program or receiving blessings, they were very aware of their supportive roles.

Amidst the rising laughter and joy in the hall, the waiters began to serve the dishes, and at this time, Du Yanyan, sitting beside Chu Mo as the class monitor, couldn’t help but laugh:

“Chu Mo, I heard from Li Fei that those bridesmaids are the maids from your villa?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo shifted his gaze back from the stage, glancing at Du Yanyan opposite him, who remained as sexy and charming as the beauty queen of their school days.

Chu Mo chuckled and shook his head before explaining with a smile:

“Don’t listen to that guy’s nonsense. These beautiful girls could be big stars if they wanted. Do you think they would be willing to be maids?”

At this, Du Yanyan nodded very seriously, as if she had let out a sigh of relief, then said:

“I was just saying, if such beautiful girls could only be maids, then there’s no hope for the likes of us!” After a brief pause, Du Yanyan slightly raised her eyebrows and casually asked:

“So, how much gift money did you really give to Li Fei? Why the secrecy, not letting anyone know?”

As soon as Du Yanyan finished speaking, several vaguely familiar but unnameable old classmates from the next table couldn’t help but suggest:

“Chu Mo, since you and Li Fei are best buddies, even if you gave a million or eight, it would be normal! We can’t compare to that.”

“Exactly, Li Fei is really making it big, with Chu Mo looking out for him. His future is definitely on the rise.”

“Li Fei is the one with the foresight, clinging to Chu Mo’s golden coattails early on!”

…

As a group of classmates erupted into a cacophony of comments, Chu Mo felt he could understand Li Fei’s earlier frustration. He was right there, and these classmates didn’t hold back their words. Had he not been present, there’s no telling what they might have said behind his back.

Suddenly, he recalled a selfie he’d posted in his friend circle, showing him barbecuing with the maids. His classmates had claimed it was Photoshopped, and various unsavory comments had forced Chu Mo to eventually block the entire class group.

With a shake of his head and a smile, Chu Mo offered no retort but instead casually said:

“I had planned on having Li Fei work with me, but he refused, saying he feared people would talk. I couldn’t persuade him otherwise, so I didn’t press the issue. There’s one billion in the card, just a small token of my appreciation!”

As Chu Mo’s words settled, students at the nearby tables stared wide-eyed, and a classmate who had been sipping tea even sprayed it out in shock!

A buzz of incredulity arose from a dozen or nearly twenty classmates, but at that moment, Chu Mo’s pocket vibrated once more.

He took out his phone and saw an incoming call from an unknown number. Hesitating for a moment, he initially thought of ignoring it, but considering the noisy classmates, he decided not to explain further and answered the call.

“Mr. Chu, I believe? I am the Family Head of the Jiangnan Li family, Li Xiaoyao!”

Chu Mo frowned slightly, reminded of the call he received from Dong Xun’er that morning. Just a few hours earlier, he had authorized Dong Xun’er to represent him fully in negotiations with the Li family over the matter of Jinmao Mansion, the tallest building in Modu. He had not expected the Family Head of the Jiangnan Li family to reach out to him personally so soon after.

Without asking, he knew this call was about Jinmao Mansion.

Amidst the chatter and clatter of the classmates around him, which had long since faded from his focus, Chu Mo responded with a calm voice:

“So it’s Mr. Li. I’ve long admired your reputation!”

“Mr. Chu, that Miss Dong Xun’er by your side is quite impressive. She spent a full three hours convincing my stubborn second brother. He even called me, urging me to sell the Jinmao Mansion in Modu to Mr. Chu. I find this all rather amusing. Since Mr. Chu is interested in our family’s Jinmao Mansion, why don’t we meet in person to talk about it?

I’m currently in Modu, with Prince Sheikh Ben Hesed of Dubai at the Shuimu Nianhua Club. If Mr. Chu has the time, why don’t you drop by? I’ll introduce you to the Dubai Savings Prince!”

After the other side finished speaking, Chu Mo glanced at the wedding stage where the ceremony was nearing its end and the hotel waiters were serving dishes. The four bridesmaids had already left the stage. He took a deep breath and said in an even tone:

“If Mr. Li invites me, I would be honored. See you shortly!”

After hanging up the phone, the table was now laden with all sorts of exquisite dishes, with many guests already starting their meal. Wang Tuo poured Chu Mo a half glass of white wine. Chu Mo gently patted Xia Xue’s hand beside him and whispered:

“Let’s go, I’ll show you what a Dubai prince looks like!”
