Chapter 2749 - 2811: Witness to the Wedding

The wedding celebration continued step by step, with both sets of parents coming up to speak, sharing their sentiments, the bridesmaids and their heartfelt expressions. Unlike some other banquets, guests today were exceptionally quiet, not speaking much throughout, because the guests today were rather intimidating, causing many to restrain their behavior. They hadn’t eaten yet, but it seemed that even when they do, their movements would be slow, gentle, and hesitant to leave...

Li Yifei gathered his thoughts. Both sets of parents finished speaking, and the ceremony proceeded to the step of the officiant. Li Yifei stood up, adjusted his suit, and walked onto the stage.

The host felt as if a breeze had hit her as Li Yifei approached, feeling an indescribable sensation when meeting him face-to-face. His appearance didn’t conform to current trends—he wasn’t a "fresh meat" type—but rather an absolute man, with angular features and orderly facial features. He exudes authority when not smiling, yet his smile makes people feel comfortable and at ease. As he approached, the host’s heart fluttered, feeling she’d accept any demand he might make without refusal.

Of course, most of these sensations were due to Li Yifei’s powerful presence and the Li family’s prestige, which were significant bonuses. If he were an ordinary person, the host might feel disgusted even just passing by.

At this moment, the host refrained from speaking any further, handed the microphone to Li Yifei, and took the marriage certificate, opening it. Li Yifei held the microphone, in a hall with 80 tables. Even if each table seated 8 to 10 people, there were still five to six hundred people inside. They all simultaneously quieted down, even halting movements. Whether turning around, looking up, or holding breath, everyone took care to avoid making noise, so as not to interrupt Li Yifei’s speech.

For ordinary people, earning one to two million across a lifetime is quite substantial. In contrast, Li Yifei adds an extra digit before billions, highlighting the stark difference between him and average individuals.

Li Yifei held the microphone, first smiled, and then said, "Hello everyone, I am Li Yifei, from Mile City!"

"Wow!" Applause erupted, making Li Yifei a bit embarrassed even before saying anything more, as claps started. After a few seconds, Li Yifei gestured, and the applause quickly subsided. Behind him, the bride and groom smiled broadly; inviting Li Yifei as an officiant is akin to inviting a provincial leader to officiate for them—it’s impactful enough.

"The person getting married is my brother. We are both from Mile City and have known each other for many years. Today, seeing him find the love of his life, of course, both are in love with each other, I am genuinely happy for him. Now Huzi has his own business, which is prospering, and will only get better. As his brother, I am filled with joy for him." Li Yifei spoke into the microphone, with people seriously listening, some nodding intermittently.

"As the saying goes, the marriage of two families unites them in a lifelong bond. May their love flourish, match beautifully, and as we view today’s glorious autumn day, they create harmony and prosperity, building towards a blessed future at home. With a promise to grow old together, inscribed on paper, reaffirming their alliance, enduring through time. This is my blessing to them; no worry if Huzi doesn’t understand, his wife will explain it tonight." Li Yifei joked, as Brother Hu naturally didn’t understand; his cultural knowledge, though broad, wasn’t profound, yet upon hearing this, he nodded earnestly, smiling broadly.

Li Yifei chuckled, then said, "Alright, now to read... oh, it’s a marriage certificate reading."

"Hahaha!" The crowd below wanted to laugh but hastily stopped, thus feeling more compelled to laugh.

"I’ll give you half a minute to laugh; then the reading becomes serious," Li Yifei suddenly halted, sweeping a glance at the crowd.

This was effective; everyone laughed willingly. Also, not anticipating Li Yifei’s humor, which was somewhat chilly, yet he was a tycoon, thus whatever he said was amusing, making the crowd genuinely laugh.

With a burst of laughter, Li Yifei nodded, waiting until it subsided, then said, "Now sentencing..." He read the words from the marriage certificate, with people below having flushed faces, thinking Li Yifei misspoke by saying "sentencing" instead of announcing or certifying.

Once he finished reading, Li Yifei turned to the groom and bride, saying, "Huzi, do you accept the verdict I just said?"

"I accept it, boss. I agree to this verdict." Huzi nodded quickly.

"Good, then this verdict is finalized. I also hope it’s your last time receiving a verdict in your life, and hope your bride feels the same. As the officiant, it’s my duty to oversee it all. Should Huzi bully you later, feel free to come to me for dealing with him."

Wang Yaxin nodded vigorously, then immediately shook her head, took the microphone, and said, "Boss, I believe my husband won’t bully me!"

"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter came from below, with Li Yifei also nodding and saying, "Good, it’s reassuring to have such confidence. Well, Huzi, will you bully your wife?"

"No, I will love her forever, never part ways, staying together through wealth or poverty, life and death!" Huzi shouted loudly.

Li Yifei temporarily took over hosting duties, heard Huzi saying this, then said, "That’s not only heard by me, but all hundreds of guests below. I hope you maintain your initial intentions, think back to today whenever life brings challenges, remembering the beginning, and overcoming difficulties together."

"Rest assured, boss, as a man, I guarantee it!" Huzi said, patting his heart full of vigor.

"Alright, forgot to give you gifts earlier; let’s do it now. I know you bought wedding rings, but mine isn’t too shabby!" Li Yifei said, taking out a small box from his pocket—a beautifully crafted box. Being close, the host’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow, as Li Yifei held a box inlaid with diamonds, a heart-shaped ring box set with a circle of diamonds.

"Boss, this is too precious!" Huzi, although unaware of the price, wasn’t foolish, recognizing the gift’s high value.

"Have you ever heard of me attending someone else’s wedding?"

"No."

"So keep it; diamonds are everlasting, also a blessing for your marriage."

"Okay... I’ll keep it, thank you, boss!"

"Thank you, boss!" Wang Yaxin quickly added.

This was a pair of diamond rings, each valued at around a million, but together they exceeded five million. Giving a gift of over five hundred thousand is a huge gesture, even in the national scope it’s outstanding. Li Yifei didn’t feel reluctant, as he mentioned, he hadn’t attended other weddings. Participating in his brother’s wedding means showing generosity, even though the related Six Major Families sitting below had no relation with Huzi and offered eighty thousand with ease.

Huzi and his wife solemnly accepted the rings, and Huzi picked up the microphone, saying to those below, "These rings from boss are great, so we’ll exchange boss’s rings during our ceremony. Everyone agrees, right?"

Of course, they agreed, yet directly wearing such precious rings... elevated the wedding to another climax.

"The next step is to grandly introduce some of today’s attendees. Allow me to represent both families, extending our warmest thanks and highest respect to them. They are among the Ten Major Families in Ning Province, including Old Sir Wang Chunlai..." The host spoke sincerely with enthusiasm, naming the Six Major Families, leaving attendees astonished, almost falling off their seats.

What situation is this? Huzi, once a hooligan married... oh, he’s a businessman now, yet inviting six out of the province’s Ten Major Families, along with Li Yifei totaling seven, what is this ability? Many were stunned by the news, uncertain what to say.

Introducing these six families further pushed the wedding to its peak, leaving many shaking their heads. Huzi soared to new heights, forming connections with seven elite families. A simple leak from them could ensure Huzi’s remarkable success, just as long as he was neither foolish nor dense, wealth awaited him certainly.

Li Yifei’s task completed, he indeed forgot about the rings, preoccupied with speaking instead. Otherwise, giving rings at that moment would be best, discreet—no need for publicity.

The wedding celebration continued, concluding after some meticulous procedures, with Huzi and the bride changing outfits, and coming out to offer toasts, although not possible to toast everyone, Huzi and the bride focused on immediate relatives and key leaders, whereas his group and family attended to other guests.

Among other guests, especially Wang Yaxin’s colleagues and leaders from the hospital, likely after today, their perception of Wang Yaxin might change. In the hospital context, being a doctor only for two to three years placed her at general practitioner level. Maximum attendance was her department’s leader, with only one chief attending due to Wang Yaxin previously gifting them. Seeing Li Yifei’s arrival, they informed the hospital, even calling the dean. Recognizing Li Yifei, the dean thought it through, deciding to offer them a gift, be it five hundred or a thousand, which the chief promised. Upon seeing members from six out of ten major families, they hurriedly informed the dean. Luckily, the hospital wasn’t far away, rushing over by car, disregarding red lights, presenting ten thousand as a lavish gift, joining beside the chief, wiping sweat, hearing the host introduce six major family members. The dean’s heartbeat thumped bizarrely.

Yet he remained secretly relieved, glad he didn’t act recklessly...
