#3656 - Poor relatives can't even afford the gifts.
I haven't been to Junhao Hotel for a long time.
The exterior wall was renovated a few years ago and now has been replaced with a panoramic glass wall. The entire building has been turned into a huge projection screen and light show, which is very stylish.
Ning Kaner, wearing a white wedding dress, stood at the entrance of the hotel, welcoming every guest with a warm smile.
Luo Zhen beside him kept passing cigarettes to his relatives and friends, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.
There are quite a few guests today, and many of them are celebrities in Kyoto. The Luo family's reputation and Ke'er's influence cannot be underestimated.
Just looking at the dazzling luxury cars in the parking lot at the entrance is enough to illustrate the problem.
But there was an arch next to it, and a couple was getting married there.
Lin Ke'er didn't want to care about the little thoughts of her neighbor, but Luo Zhen was a little angry.
What's the point of showing off by getting married? It's like everyone has a few rich relatives!
So he asked the master of ceremonies to announce the guests and gift money and compare them with the ones next door.
Lin Ke'er felt helpless about her man's childish nature, but she was too lazy to pay attention to it.
She used to look down on Luo Zhen. Even though he was a friend of her boss, she kept her distance from such a playboy.
What's more, as a public figure, sometimes you really have no control over such things.
There is even the existence of the nightmare Komi, which makes Lin Ke'er live in fear all day long and dare not contact any man at all.
Later he went to Dongshan, where Komi also died.
Lin Ke'er felt relieved, and she also thought about this for Chen Xin'an, who had solved her big problem.
But Chen Xinan had no interest in her, a popular star, and his wife was no less qualified than her in all aspects, which made her discouraged.
What made her sigh that life is unpredictable was that Chen Xinan and Ning Xiruo actually became her bosses!
Luo Zhen also changed from being her boss to being her colleague. After getting to know her, he found that this person was actually different from what he had imagined.
Later, she retired from the entertainment industry and stepped behind the scenes. She used her savings to invest in Anhao Film and Television, became the head of Dream Media, and became one of the powerful people in Anhao Group.
Luo Zhen played an indispensable role in this.
Because she has no management or business experience, many things need to be learned from scratch.
It was Luo Zhen who taught her step by step and brought her to where she is today.
During the time when Luo Zhen was abroad, they called each other every day, and each call lasted more than an hour!
Now that the time has come and they are finally together, Ning Kaner cherishes it very much and her face is full of happiness and sweetness.
The arrival of several heavyweight guests in succession made the newlyweds next door very proud and happy, and it seemed that they suddenly overshadowed the couple next to them!
Luo Xiaoman rushed out and asked Luo Zhen, "Is Lao Chen not here yet?"
Luo Zhen shrugged and said, "Not yet! Maybe he hasn't gotten off work yet?"
"Did you forget to send him the invitation?" Luo Xiaoman scolded Luo Zhen angrily.
Luo Zhen refused to accept this and said with his neck stiff, "That's impossible! Besides, with our relationship, he would have come even without an invitation!"
When Luo Xiaoman heard this, he agreed.
At this moment, Ning K'er said, "Here it comes!"
A car appeared at the intersection ahead. It was Chen Xinan’s Dragon King!
Needless to say, Chen Xinan has arrived.
The couple next to him also noticed Long Ye driving over, frowned and asked, "Whose relative is this?"
"It looks like it's from their side. We are all people of status here. Who would drive a junky car like that? I can't even tell what kind of car it is!"
"Let me think about it, I feel like I've seen it before... Oh, right, the Dragon Flag Generation!
Twenty years ago, my dad bought one. It was quite fashionable at the time and cost him almost $80,000!
Nowadays, one car costs more than 30,000 yuan, and it consumes a lot of fuel!
This thing is mostly used for farming, no one in Kyoto drives it, and it should not be allowed on the road!"
"What kind of relatives are these next door who drove such a shabby car to attend the wedding? It's so funny, don't they feel ashamed?"
"What's that car behind?
Shit, that's a viper!
A commercial vehicle was introduced to Kyoto this year, and my dad is determined to change his car!
But someone bought it!
I didn’t expect that he would come to the wedding today. He must be my dad’s friend!”
"Honey, hurry up and tell someone to go over and tell that junky car in front to move out of the way! It's blocking our friend's way! That junky car actually wants to park in the best parking spot?
Is the security guard crazy? Our wedding car can't even be parked there, so why should that crappy car be parked there? "
Long Ye parked the car, Chen Xinan got out and waved to the Viper sedan behind him.
Li Qi, who was driving, nodded and drove the Viper directly to the entrance of the hotel and stopped in front of the arch.
"Old Chen, you're so slow to come here!" Luo Xiaoman came over and pulled Chen Xin'an's arm and said, "Come in with me, Xue'er is feeling a little uncomfortable!"
Chen Xinan reluctantly shook off his hand and said, "No matter how urgent it is, you have to let me talk to the newcomer!"
Luo Xiaoman said nonchalantly: "Whatever you say, it's not like we don't know each other! It won't be too late to talk about it when we're drinking later!"
Bang!
A big slap landed on his head, and Mr. Luo yelled at him with a dark face, "Get out of the way! Xue'er is fine, don't get in the way here!"
Hearing that his wife was fine, Luo Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, holding his head and muttering, "You hit me on such a happy day, you have no manners!"
Luo Lie almost fainted, and rolled up his sleeves to fight. Guan Fei and Guan Du, who were standing beside Ning Xiruo, rushed over, supported the old man and said:
"Master, don't be angry! I'll help you in and have a cup of tea!"
Luo Lie waved his hand and said to Chen Xin'an and Ning Xiruo: "Xin'an, Xiruo, come in with me. I have something to tell you!"
"Okay!" Chen Xin'an and Ning Xiruo nodded, smiled apologetically to Luo Zhen and Ning K'er, and strode into the hotel.
There was a shrill laugh coming from next door.
"I said he was a poor relative, right? He drove a junky car to attend the wedding, didn't bring any money as a gift, and just came here to eat and drink for free!"
"I guess I'll have to pack up my food and luggage when I leave, which will be enough to pay for the gas for my old car!"
"There's nothing we can do. There are always shameless people who drive junky cars and are poor for a reason. This family is unlucky to have such a relative. It would be so embarrassing for me!"
"Why bother with them? Our distinguished guest has gotten off the car, let's go over and greet him!"
The couple walked down the steps and were about to greet the man who got out of the Viper, but when they saw the other person's appearance, they didn't recognize him.
Before they could ask him, the man put the car keys into a red envelope and shouted to Chen Xin'an who was walking to the door: "Boss, I gave it to you!"
Chen Xinan turned his head and waved his hands, saying, "Give it to him! Give it to Ke'er, don't give it to that brat Luo Zhen, Ke'er will be in charge of the accounts from now on!"
Li Qi handed the red envelope containing the car keys to Lin Keer and said with a smile, "Boss Lin, this is the wedding gift that Chen Xin'an and Ning Xiruo prepared for you. I'm handing it over to you now.
Brother Zhen, I'll try it for you first. Two words: comfortable!"
