209: Grand Wedding
At Chen Yuanhua's suggestion, Lin Zifeng took the four of them to the Private Room where his family was waiting.
As soon as they entered the Private Room, Lin Zifeng hurriedly introduced them, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, these are my father-in-law and mother-in-law, along with Yuqing's sister. And this is my wife, Chen Yuxi."
Li Lan and Zhang Chunhua hurried over, each taking one of Chen Yuxi's hands, and after endless compliments, they quickly hit it off with the mother and her two daughters.
"Hello, Secretary Chen." Lin Jiahua said while shaking hands with Chen Yuanhua.
"In-law relative, there is no Secretary Chen here. We are both fathers of the children; there are no other identities here."
After saying this, Chen Yuanhua grasped Lin Zhenqiang's hand and hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, Uncle, you have raised a fine grandson!"
"Hello! Thank you for marrying such a wonderful daughter to our brat."
Lin Zhenqiang's face beamed with joy.
After some pleasantries, everyone quickly became acquainted.
After they all sat down, Li Yuan looked at The two sisters, Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxi, and said, "How are my sister-in-law and this big sister so beautiful? You look just like fairies. I've never seen such beautiful people in all my life."
The two sisters sat on either side of Li Yuan, and upon hearing what she said, they each took one of her hands and said, "Xiao Yuan is very pretty too! You will be a beauty when you grow up."
"No matter how much I change, I won't grow up to be as pretty as you two sisters. It would be great if you were both my sisters-in-law."
After complimenting them again, Li Yuan subconsciously blurted out what was on her mind.
Hearing what Li Yuan said, everyone was amused, and no one took her words seriously.
Only Lin Zifeng and The two sisters felt somewhat conflicted, for only they knew the complex and subtle relationship between them.
"Xiao Yuan, don't just say anything. The child is ignorant, please don't mind, In-law relative!"
Li Yuan murmured an acknowledgment, and Li Jing smiled and said, "It's fine, In-law relative, Xiao Yuan is still young after all. But having said that, if you had another son as outstanding as Zifeng, I wouldn't mind playing matchmaker."
Lin Zifeng quickly changed the subject. After pouring drinks for everyone, he raised his glass and said, "Today is the first time our two families are meeting; let's have a drink together!"
"Zifeng's suggestion is good, but I must make a correction: from now on, we are one family."
Chen Yuanhua said as he raised his glass.
Their suggestions were met with approval from everyone, and they all raised their glasses to have a drink together.
The two families interacted very happily. After half an hour, Chen Yuanhua suggested, "In-law relative, some of Zifeng's colleagues have traveled from afar specifically to attend the children's wedding. As hosts, it is only right and proper that we go over to acknowledge them, what do you think?"
"It should be so. In-law relative, let the two of us and Zifeng go over as representatives to acknowledge them!"
Lin Jiahua said as he stood up.
Lin Zifeng followed behind the two of them and walked out of the Private Room.
The three entered the Private Room together. Wan Guoliang and the others sitting inside hurriedly stood up and greeted, "Hello, Secretary Chen."
"Comrades, please don't be so formal. Today, you are all our honored guests. Zifeng is busy with the wedding, so if there is any lack of hospitality, I hope you will be understanding!"
Chen Yuanhua spoke first.
"Secretary Chen, you are too polite. As the groom, it is normal for Zifeng to be busy; how could we not understand? Please, sit down and talk."
After saying this, Wan Guoliang ushered Chen Yuanhua and Lin Jiahua to the seats of honor.
Lin Jiahua also exchanged some pleasantries. Lin Zifeng expressed his gratitude to them, and the three sat down in the Private Room to drink with the group.
Except for Wan Guoliang, Wei Ting and the others only just realized that the person Lin Zifeng was marrying was actually the daughter of the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chen Yuanhua.
They were all Lin Zifeng's loyal supporters, and they hadn't expected their leader to have such a large and reliable backer.
They were secretly happy in their hearts; given Lin Zifeng's ability and excellence, combined with such reliable connections, his future prospects were even more limitless.
In this way, they would also benefit, so they were quite happy and excited.
The three stayed in the Private Room for over ten minutes before Chen Yuanhua rose to leave.
Lin Jiahua and Chen Yuanhua left together. Lin Zifeng raised his glass and said, "Secretary, Comrades, I'd like to propose a toast to everyone, thank you all for coming to my wedding."
Everyone raised their glasses in response, clinked them with his, and drank it all in one go.
"County Magistrate Zifeng, you don't need to keep us company. You still have a lot to do tomorrow! Hurry off and spend time with your family!"
Wan Guoliang said with a smile after putting down his glass.
The others echoed the sentiment, and Lin Zifeng then walked out of the Private Room.
After the banquet ended, Chen Yuqing took the three members of the Chen family and left. Today, Lin Zifeng had to stay at the hotel, as tomorrow he would lead the motorcade to his and Chen Yuxi's residence to pick up the bride and bring her to the hotel.
So he couldn't go back home to stay tonight.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Zifeng led the motorcade to pick up the bride, with a wedding company following to record the entire process.
More than twenty luxury cars arranged by Chen Yuqing drove orderly into the Residential Community.
After going through various procedures, at ten o'clock, the two of them, guided by the host, walked onto the wedding stage.
Under the gaze of relatives and friends, they briefly recounted the story of their romance.
Amidst warm applause, the host said with an enthusiastic voice, "Let us welcome our Little Flower Boy."
As soon as the host finished speaking, a two- or three-year-old boy in a small suit, along with a little girl of the same age in a pretty dress, walked hand in hand to the front of them.
The little boy came up to Lin Zifeng and handed him a diamond ring.
Seeing the little boy in front of him, Lin Zifeng immediately felt a sense of closeness, as if he had known this Little fellow for a long time.
Lin Zifeng didn't know why he had developed such a fondness for a child so quickly.
Just as he was puzzled, the Little fellow said in a childish voice, "Uncle, your ring."
Lin Zifeng finally came back to his senses, took the ring, gently touched the Little fellow's tender face with his hand, and said, "Thank you, little one."
Chen Yuqing, standing not far away, and Chen Yuxi, right in front, were both somewhat nervous and excited as they watched the scene before them.
Both women thought at the same time, this is the first time father and son have met. It seems Zifeng's feeling for little Haotian is really different; could this be the bond of blood?
Chen Yuqing now regretted listening to Chen Yuxi and letting her son be the flower boy.
It turned out that having Chen Haotian be the Little Flower Boy was Chen Yuxi's idea. She felt that since she was already married to Lin Zifeng, they would be one family in the future.
Chen Haotian would sooner or later appear before the Chen family. They could use this opportunity to let little Haotian make an appearance and see what kind of scene would unfold between this father and son while they were unaware of the truth.
Chen Yuqing was moved, which is why little Haotian appeared at the wedding scene, with the lie told to others that he was a friend's child, and little Haotian was very cooperative.
Now Chen Yuqing was terrified of revealing a flaw that would affect the wedding.
Fortunately, the two little ones completed their task, turned around, and trotted away.
