Chapter 2275: Paying for the Wedding

Everyone was stunned for a moment. They had agreed to Xia Guang's request in the heat of the moment. This matter was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

"It's like a debt! I'm already so old, yet I still have to organize a wedding for my son! If word gets out, it's really too embarrassing!" Xia Jun said.

He could not leave this matter to Xia Wen. After all, it was not appropriate for a nephew to organize a wedding for his uncle. It would be a joke if word got out! He would need to handle this matter. What a sin!

"I'm old and it's too strenuous to do all these things. Xu Lan and Liu Fen, please help me," Xia Jun said. It was not unreasonable for sisters-in-law to help their brother-in-law organize a wedding.

The others left to get busy while Qiao Mei stayed behind. She still wanted to stay and watch the fun! Besides, she was the best at organizing banquets! She was always the one who organized all the big and small banquets at home and all the guests who came always praised her.

Looking at her status in the family, she was the eldest son's daughter-in-law and should be able to represent all the grandchildren! She could not just let the older generation do everything.

Time was tight and the task was important. It was really difficult to organize a wedding banquet in a week. There were still many things that they needed to buy! Furthermore, they still did not even know where the matrimonial home was located!

"Father, where will Third Brother's matrimonial home be?" Xu Lan asked tentatively.

Xia Guang owned a house in the capital, but that house was very close to Zhou Hua's house. If they held a banquet there, Zhou Hua would definitely be in a tizzy!

"Matrimonial home..." Liu Fen subconsciously took a glance at Qiao Mei. When she realized what she had done, she immediately blushed and looked elsewhere. No matter how many properties Qiao Mei had, it was not possible for her to lend it to Xia Guang to use as a matrimonial home! Liu Fen felt that she must have lost her mind!

"Third Uncle has rented a house for Miss Tang. That house is grand enough. We can hold the wedding banquet there," Qiao Mei said.

Although Xia Guang had kept this matter a secret, there was nothing in the capital that Qiao Mei did not know about. She had many people helping her keep tabs on things and the salary she paid Yao Nian had already increased by several folds. Yao Nian would work for Qiao Mei wholeheartedly for the rest of his life.

"But there's no such thing as using the bride's house for the wedding ceremony. It's so embarrassing," Liu Fen said.

"Let Third Brother discuss it with her himself," Xu Lan said.

"Let him think of a way to handle this matter himself! Let's just settle the wedding banquet for him! He's the one who's in a hurry to get married, not us!" Xia Jun said impatiently.

Xu Lan looked at Qiao Mei and said embarrassedly, "Mei Mei, I really need to trouble you with something."

"What is it?" Qiao Mei asked.

"We won't have time to find a chef. We can hold the wedding ceremony at home, but can we hold the wedding banquet at your mother's restaurant?" Xu Lan asked.

"Of course you can. Leave this to me," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

During this period of time, Li Gui's restaurant was not doing so well. Qiao Mei already had an intention to host a big banquet there to create some buzz and let people know that Li Gui's restaurant was as popular as ever.

"You can decide on the details," Xu Lan said.

"Who's paying for it?" Qiao Mei asked.

Everyone laughed out loud. Liu Fen giggled and said, "Look at this smart kid! She's all about the money!"

"It's different! If it's for Second Aunt-in-law's family, I definitely won't ask for payment," Qiao Mei said.

What Qiao Mei meant could not be more obvious, but even Xia Jun did not think that she had gone overboard. Xia Guang had indeed not behaved properly like an elder should, so there was no need for a junior like Qiao Mei to respect him.

"We want the best for everything. Miss Tang is a dignified person and it's her first marriage. We must do everything in a grand manner and not let others think that we're being perfunctory to her," Xu Lan said.

"The best banquet is 666 dollars a table. We probably need at least 15 tables that day. Does Third Uncle have that much money?" Qiao Mei asked.

She could not possibly let him do it on credit. If so, she and Li Gui would just come up empty- handed. There was nothing they could do if he refused to pay them.

"I'll pay for it," Xia Jun said.

"Is this appropriate?" Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Jun thought for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate. That asshole. I have to pay for two weddings for him. If he dares to have a third one, I'll ask him to get lost from the Xia family! His name will be removed from the family tree!"

Xia Jun was not going to fork out the money for nothing. He told Xia Guang to write him an IOU and to give him half of his monthly salary until he could pay the entire sum.

Without any hesitation, Xia Guang rushed to Tang Hui's house and told her about what had happened. Tang Hui stood rooted to the spot for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. They had not known each other for that long, so why did they need to rush to get married?

"Let's go and register our marriage tomorrow! We'll hold the wedding ceremony this week!" Xia Guang said agitatedly. He thought that Tang Hui would definitely agree, but he did not expect her to reject him without any hesitation.
