114: Chapter 114: Domineering Dictatorship!

Trouble has come!

During the day, when Wu Jie was sound asleep, the old couple found themselves tossing and turning in another room, unable to do the same.

Tang Xiao was too outstanding.

She was not only the president of a listed company but also an extremely beautiful woman with a wealthy background…

And if you look at their own son?

Just an ordinary salaried employee, neither a super handsome man nor someone with an impressive background…

The elderly couple felt that although their son was not short, poor, or ugly, compared to the ‘Fair-skinned, Rich and Beautiful’ Tang Xiao, the gap was indeed too large.

This disparity directly led to a lack of confidence for the old couple.

What did Tang Long mean by asking Wu Jie for his plans?

What plans?

Isn’t getting married just about the six traditional marriage rites?

And among them, the most important is, of course, the bride price.

If Tang Xiao were a girl from an ordinary family, the old couple would have felt it manageable.

With millions in savings, according to customs in their hometown, giving a dowry of two or three hundred thousand yuan, buying diamond rings and gold jewelry, or even buying a house and a car, would not be a problem at all.

But…

Tang Xiao’s family was worth billions, and the Tang Family was a prestigious clan in Tianyuan.

A dowry of a few hundred thousand simply couldn’t be offered!

Also…

How many carats should the diamond ring be?

How much gold, silver, and jade jewelry should they buy?

How high should the standard for the wedding banquet hotel be?

…

The old couple didn’t dare to think about it; everything would cost a substantial amount, and it was indeed too much for them to bear.

With a grim expression, Wu Jianguo took a sip of his drink in silence.

Liao Lan felt somewhat uneasy and agitated.

Under the table, Tang Xiao gently kicked Wu Jie.

That look in her eyes was almost like saying, “Just make something up, I’ll foot the bill.”

Wu Jie, facing the scrutinizing gaze of Tang Long, smiled relaxedly and said,

“Dad was right just now, we won’t deal with unnecessary formalities, but engagement, betrothal, and wedding, these three steps won’t be skipped!”

“Things like the bride price, jewelry, wedding celebrations, and the banquet, we will have it all…”

Tang Long suddenly interjected, “Then what’s your total wedding budget?”

“Dad, didn’t we agree not to talk about money?” Tang Xiao immediately complained, indirectly helping Wu Jie out of a tight spot.

Tang Long snorted and said, “I know our families are quite different in terms of financial situation, but I’m not asking for something unreasonable!”

“I don’t require Jie to have a house, a car, or savings, but you should at least give a symbolic bride price and buy some jewelry, right?”

“Also, hiring a wedding planner and hosting the banquet, aren’t these usually the responsibility of the groom’s side, according to traditions everywhere in the country?”

“Anyway, I was just curious to know the total wedding budget.

If you don’t have enough money, I can help out and provide some assistance!”

…

Tang Long spoke endlessly, yet he felt continuous resentment in his heart.

As a parent, who wouldn’t want their child to have a happy marriage?

Who wouldn’t hope their daughter would marry a more outstanding man?

Wu Jie had not shown any exceptional qualities and had not won Tang Long’s approval, so it was natural for him to feel that Wu Jie was not good enough for his daughter.

But Tang Long doted on Tang Xiao and didn’t want to go against his daughter’s wishes by opposing the marriage.

Poor are the hearts of all parents in the world!

So, no matter how much Tang Long resented in his heart, Wu Jie was not angry but instead felt a hint of secret joy.

After all, his father-in-law was amazing!

Each instance of resentment was worth twenty thousand energy points, and in just a few minutes, Wu Jie earned tens of thousands.

After Tang Long finished speaking, Wu Jie immediately made his statement.

“The preliminary budget is five million yuan, and if that’s not enough, we can add more.”

Five million??

Tang Long frowned.

“You…

do you have that much money?”

Tang Long was very surprised.

Wu Jie came from the countryside and had only been working for a little over a year.

Where would he get five million from?

Moreover, just by looking at Wu Jie’s parents, one could tell they were hardworking rural folks, not the type to have five million to spend on a wedding.

Having worked hard for most of their lives to save a few hundred thousand for their only son’s wedding seemed much more likely to Tang Long.

“Dad, although Jie doesn’t have as many assets as we do for now, he’s not in a tight spot.

He will definitely be able to come up with five million to marry me.

Just say whether you’re satisfied or not,” Tang Xiao said, cutting to the chase, not wanting to dwell on financial issues.

Tang Long nodded slightly.

“A budget of five million is definitely enough.

So when are we talking about for the engagement and the wedding?

What do you both think?”

Wu Jianguo promptly said, “In our hometown, for an engagement, you just present the betrothal gifts and treat close relatives and friends to a meal.

I don’t know if it’s the same here in Tianyuan.”

“It’s the same everywhere.

Then let’s set the engagement for May Day!” Tang Xiao declared decisively.

Tang Long glared at Tang Xiao, thinking since when is the bride this proactive?

With her conditions, is she worried about not being able to find a husband?

Why the rush?

Suppressing his anger, Tang Long continued with a smile, “And for the wedding?

I think National Day isn’t a bad choice.

Relatives and friends will be on holiday, and there’s plenty of time, enough to hold banquets in both places.

Tang Xiao cut in again, “There are too many weddings on National Day, no need to join that bustle.

Moreover, it’s too long a gap between the engagement and the wedding.

I think we should get married before the Dragon Boat Festival in June!”

Tang Long was furious.

“Hey Xiao, I’m discussing with the in-laws, what are you chipping in for?”

Tang Xiao looked at Mr.

and Mrs.

Wu Jianguo with a smile, “Mom and Dad said at lunch that they would respect my opinion, so what I say goes.”

“You!!”

Tang Long’s face turned iron blue, he wanted to scold her, but swallowed the words back.

He could only stare at Tang Xiao with resentment.

Tang Xiao turned a blind eye and continued:

“For the specific date, I’ll trouble Mom to look through the almanac.

Let’s move on to discuss the betrothal gifts, wedding celebration, and banquet.”

“I think for the betrothal offering, 880,000 should suffice.

As for jewelry and the like, I will go shopping with Jie.”

“We will also buy several sets of clothing and shoes for you to wear at the banquet.”

“Regarding the wedding celebration, my friend can take care of the wedding ceremony and the bridal convoy all by themselves, and the banquet can be held at this hotel!”

“For the engagement and wedding banquets, booking ones priced at 6,800 and 8,800 with free drinks and entertainment options seems pretty good to me.”

“Whether it’s for the engagement or the wedding, all visiting relatives and friends will stay at this hotel.

It is both comfortable and affordable, and it looks good as well.”

“In short, the group has shares in this hotel, so it’s better to keep the benefits within our circle.

Both the engagement and the wedding will take place here.”

“Mom, Dad, and my little sister, you can stay here with peace of mind.

When you’re free, you can go sightseeing, shopping, or look at houses.”

“Jie and I have always discussed buying a house for our marriage home, but we haven’t had the time.

With you here, you can help us choose.”

…

The whole process was high-energy.

Overbearing CEO Tang Xiao habitually took control of everything, swiftly arranging all the details with just a few sentences.

Mr.

and Mrs.

Wu Jianguo didn’t utter a word, which was taken as assent.

Tang Long wanted to speak, but couldn’t find an opening.

“…That’s my thinking.

If there are no objections, then let’s go ahead with it!”

Wu Jie was taken aback.

Was this a domineering CEO deploying tasks to her subordinates?

Tang Xiao immediately realized her slip of the tongue and corrected herself:

“Sorry, I misspoke just now.

If everyone is okay with it, then let’s get started!”

“I have a problem!” Tang Long questioned loudly, “When are you two getting your marriage certificate?”

“Tomorrow!”

Tang Xiao responded bluntly.
