Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Breaking the Deadlock
"This just shattered everyone's hopes!"
Clearly, some sighs from the male guests could be heard from below.
"Hahaha, don't feel too regretful, everyone. This beautiful lady already has a boyfriend, so let's sincerely wish them happiness! I hope you all can also enter the marriage hall soon!" the host said with high emotional intelligence, deftly smoothing over the situation.
"And I hope to have the chance to continue hosting and witness your love stories!"
After hearing this, the other guests also burst into applause.
"Alright, let's all taste the wedding cake now! Pop open the champagne of blessings!"
The waiters, who had been waiting outside for a long time, wheeled in the massive seven-tier cake and three trolleys filled with champagne!
At this moment, Han Xuewei no longer pressed Qin Xiaoxu about not being single.
Lin Yi and Han Xuewei worked together to cut the cake and then opened all the champagne bottles.
The babies were taken to a private room on the third layer, as it was almost time for their feeding.
The wedding was more or less over at this point, and Han Xuewei, with the help of others, stepped down and then went to change clothes with her makeup artist.
Lin Yi went straight to his seat to eat.
Lin Yi's parents considerately served food for their daughter-in-law, waiting for her to return before eating, fearing that otherwise she might miss out on the food.
The groomsmen were also arranged to sit at the same table, with Qin Xiaoxu and Lin Jie naturally sitting together.
Lin Jie was through and through a typical straight male character, so during the meal, he only concentrated on serving himself, and Han Xuewei didn't pay him any attention. However, this scene had Lin Jie's mother anxiously exclaiming!
She knew her son all too well. This straight male character of his had never changed! He simply didn't know how to be considerate of girls!
Lin Jie's mother helplessly shook her head, deciding that when they got back, she would give him a proper lesson, no matter what, to make him remember how to be thoughtful towards girls. What kind of way was this to be in a relationship?
As several hot dishes were served, the host picked up the microphone and returned to the stage, saying, "I have some good news for everyone here. Today, we celebrate double happiness, not only the wedding of the lovely couple but also the opening ceremony of (Han's Private Kitchen). This ninth-floor venue, where the wedding is held, happens to be the property of the bride's father.
This great father has been waiting for this day for more than 20 years, and every dish is his own creation, filled with fatherly love!"
"Han's Private Kitchen initially made a name for itself with braised dishes, but over the decades of development, it has evolved into a diverse restaurant. Here, in addition to traditional Chinese dishes, there are buffet and Western dining options. Today's banquet features a variety of signature dishes.
Chapter Enjoy:
Everyone, please enjoy your meal today, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future!"
Before the host went on stage, Lin Yi had already instructed him to say so, and the father-in-law, after hearing such a speech, expressed his gratitude, looking at Lin Yi with a very satisfied smile and nodding.
Lin Yi looked back at his father-in-law with a smile, greeting him with a smile in return.
As soon as the host finished speaking, the guests started to discuss amongst themselves.
"Oh my, I only knew that the Lin family was well-off, but I didn't expect the bride's family to be so well-off too!"
"Yes, this is the biggest building in the city center, and renting such a large place here to open a shop, their strength must be considerable!"
"I just checked it out, and there are three floors here, with each floor being about a thousand square meters. The top floor is all private rooms!"
"Look at their vision, it's simply far-sighted! Growing big and strong here today is for being even stronger in Xiangcheng!"
"Indeed, I was chatting with a relative from the Han family just now, and heard that the bride's father also runs a hotel in Xiao Chuan County, and it's a family business too, quite large in scale! Importantly, she is their only daughter."
"Gosh, they must be so rich, no wonder they can afford to open a restaurant in a building in the city center. The rent here must be cheap, right? Given the size, I'm afraid it could be over a million a month!"
"Probably even two million, considering the scale!"
"The Lin Family's strength isn't bad either, Lin Yi directly gave Han Xuewei's parents a cash gift of two hundred and fifty thousand! And that's no small sum! Plus, the dowry is several million! I heard they picked a particularly auspicious number."
"And the bride's dowry isn't small either; they gave her a Mercedes Benz as part of it, which is parked right outside in the parking lot. I saw it with my own eyes! It's incredible! Poverty really does limit my imagination!"
Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Han Xuewei had changed her clothes and was slowly coming downstairs.
Now, with her hair tied up, her entire face was visible, so delicate and charming.
She walked slowly over to this side.
Lin Yi also hurriedly went forward to greet her, and Lin Yi's mother served Han Xuewei the dishes she had set aside.
Han Xuewei also smiled, nodded, and said, "Mom, thank you."
Lin Yi's mother said, "Eat while it's hot; these are all your favorites. Later, you still have to toast the guests!"
Many of the guests at the tables began to discuss today's bride, after all, her captivating appearance was hard to overlook.
But one person's mood was completely opposite that of the other guests. Han Xuemei, sitting at a table, kept her head down and focused on her meal, merely to conceal her nearly frantic expression!
She glanced at her cousin, then at her mother next to her, and deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "Mom, I'm so envious of cousin! I want to come to Xiangcheng to make something of myself. I wonder if I could find my Mr. Right here!"
After hearing this, Han Xuemei's mother was taken aback, then asked, "Xue Mei, why are you suddenly thinking this way? I still think it's better to develop in Xiao Chuan County. At least your dad and I can look after you and help you out. Can't we stay away from here, okay?"
Han Xuemei was also an only child; due to the special policies back then, they didn't have a second child. Otherwise, their family would certainly have one or two more children.
After hearing her mother's words, Han Xuemei shook her head repeatedly and said, "Mom, times are different now, young people need to see the world, to go out and make their mark. At least let me try for a few more years before going back. Otherwise, if I stay in Xiao Chuan County my whole life, I definitely won't be satisfied! If I can't even find a boyfriend there, what will I do in the future?"
After listening, Han Xuemei's mother felt there was some truth in her daughter's words and began worrying too.
The reason she wanted her daughter to stay close was the fear of her marrying far away. But now, with the daughter hoping to develop herself in Xiangcheng, it wasn't out of the question.
Xiangcheng was only a two or three-hour drive from their place, and it would be quicker by high-speed rail. So, this distance was still acceptable to them.
