390: Chapter 390: The Wife is Too Domineering!

Gazes converged!

Eager anticipation!

The manager and clerks of the jewelry store obviously all hoped Wu Jie would spend a fortune.

If they could sell the ‘Pure Love’ diamond ring worth more than fifty million, they would all receive a nice bonus.

But if Wu Jie followed Tang Xiao’s request and bought the ordinary platinum ring worth less than two thousand…

What bonus are we talking about!

Only the manager would get a little commission, and it wouldn’t be enough to treat everyone to a hotpot meal.

“Mr.

Wu, I can tell that you and President Tang are truly in love and intend to spend a lifetime together!”

“You get married only once in your life, to make your beloved woman marry you in style, to become the stunning bride that everyone admires, I think you should choose a wedding ring that matches both of your statuses, within the range of your financial capabilities.”

The store manager’s words were all very tactful.

But the implication was a single sentence.

You’re so rich, buying a ring for less than two thousand is just too lacking in style.

Wu Jie looked at the ‘Pure Love’ diamond ring; indeed, it was beautiful and exquisite, and sparkled immensely.

Then, he glanced at the plain platinum rings in the glass cabinet, which without the lighting, might be mistaken for iron hoops.

One was luxury incarnate, the other was the beggar version.

Which to choose?

Seeing Tang Xiao’s resolute look, Wu Jie sighed and persuaded:

“I’m only getting married once in my lifetime, and you’re such a well-known figure in the business world!”

“The engagement ring doesn’t matter, but the actual wedding ceremony is different!”

“On the ceremonial stage, if I put a ring on your finger that looks like an iron hoop, what would people think of me?”

“I’m afraid many won’t say it to my face, but behind my back, they’ll definitely curse me for being stingy and not willing to spend on a diamond ring for you!”

“How can I hold my head up high and stand tall in front of our families and friends in the future?”

Tang Xiao cast a sidelong glance, her voice icy cold:

“Based on what you’re saying, the more you spend, the bigger your face?”

“In the end, are we getting married, or is it someone else?

Do you care that much about what others say?”

“But for those who nitpick, even if you buy the most expensive of everything, they can still find faults with you!”

“You have money, and you want to be good to me, but whether my married life is happy or not isn’t proven by a damn rock!”

Tang Xiao pointed at the rows of exorbitantly priced diamond rings in front of her.

“By wearing these, will I definitely be happy?”

“Every year there are celebrities getting married.

Luxurious weddings, expensive diamond rings, but they still end up divorcing, don’t they?”

“One can be full from eating delicacies, or not starved by plain tea and simple food.

How we live our life is our own business, not for others to dictate!”

Seizing the moment when Wu Jie was at a loss for words, Tang Xiao immediately turned to the manager and barked:

“What are you staring at?

Go get that pair of platinum rings for me to try on!”

Her voice authoritative, her presence commanding.

The store manager was startled.

A domineering CEO indeed!

The tone of voice, the look in the eyes, she was even more intimidating than their own boss.

Quickly, a clerk brought over the plain platinum rings.

Just as Wu Jie had imagined, without the bright LED lights shining on them, they truly looked no different from iron hoops once in hand.

“Still dazed?

Hurry up and put them on me!”

Tang Xiao commanded with an authoritative tone.

Wu Jie grumbled, “Weren’t we supposed to do what I say today?

Why so fierce?”

While speaking, Wu Jie slipped the ring onto Tang Xiao’s left ring finger, signifying marriage.

“Spending money lavishly is a matter of principle.

If I don’t keep an eye on you, wouldn’t you just do as you please?”

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes and lifted her hand, wiggling it in front of her.

“A ring costing over a thousand looks pretty good, doesn’t it?” Tang Xiao glanced at Wu Jie’s hand and laughed, “Wow, the size is just right, so we’ll take this pair!”

The store manager sweated profusely, fighting back the sourness, and squeezed out a smile.

“President Tang’s hands are delicate and slim like white jade, naturally, anything you wear looks beautiful!”

Wu Jie took off the rings and placed both back into the box.

He took out two thousand and handed it to the store manager, apologizing with a smile, “I’m sorry for the hassle of buying such a pair of rings and closing the store for us, the extra is for everyone’s afternoon tea.”

At a quick glance, there was at least a couple thousand.

Tang Xiao didn’t make much of a fuss about it, and the clerks were immediately overjoyed.

“Then let me thank the two of you on behalf of everyone!”

The store manager accepted the money and quickly brought over bags, packing up the receipt and the ring box.

Of course, she didn’t forget to include her own business card.

What if Wu Jie wanted to give Tang Xiao a surprise and secretly came back to purchase it?

She’d seen her fair share of capricious tycoons!

Amidst farewells, the two left the jewelry store.

Not far out, Tang Xiao reminded him in a tepid tone,

“Don’t think about secretly coming back to buy the ‘Pure Love’ ring to surprise me.

I don’t like such flashy but impractical things, and I dislike the way people give expensive gifts to create so-called surprises!”

Wu Jie shrugged and said, “Do you think I’m stupid?

If you don’t want it and won’t wear it, why would I buy it?”

While they talked, they took the escalator to continue shopping.

After covering a lot of ground, Wu Jie had come to understand.

What Tang Xiao cared about when shopping wasn’t the price, status, or brand, but whether it was practical—a truly domestic wife who knew how to live!

Just like on the wedding day, after the ceremony, she’d have to wear a bright red toast suit and shiny high heels.

She didn’t like red and wouldn’t wear it more than once.

Thus, what she bought was extremely cheap, discounted, or slightly defective items.

The president of a global Fortune 500 company!

Buying a pair of fifty-yuan clearance red high heels—nobody would believe it if you told them.

But the newlyweds must wear new clothes, from the inside out.

While choosing undergarments that could be worn for a long time, Tang Xiao only looked at whether the style fit well and if the fabric was comfortable.

As for the price tag…

not looked at!

Wu Jie only found out how much it cost when he went to pay with his card—good grief, two sets of undergarments for nearly seven thousand yuan.

That’s enough to buy over a hundred pairs of those clearance red high heels!

After loading the big and small packages into the car, Tang Xiao checked the list one more time.

“Originally planned for two days, but everything’s done in one.

Now all we’re missing are the groomsmen and bridesmaids!”

Wu Jie chuckled and asked, “Start with the headcount!

I see many people nowadays have quite a few groomsmen and bridesmaids, often several pairs.

What about us?”

“Why would we need so many people?

Let’s ask in the group chat first!”

As she spoke, Tang Xiao opened the mahjong group chat.

This bunch of gamblers had even changed the group name and, upon opening it, she found several unclaimed red packets.

Her fingers danced quickly, and a message was soon sent out.

Ding!

Wu Jie took out his own phone, and saw Tang Xiao had sent out an invite.

“Next Sunday is Jie and my wedding.

We’re recruiting groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Each will be provided with a three thousand yuan clothing allowance and a two thousand yuan red packet.

Those willing, please form teams and sign up.”

Before Wu Jie could reply, the group chat exploded.

Tang Xin: “I want to be a bridesmaid!”

Tang Kun: “Team up with me!

@Tang Xin”

Tang Xin: “Dream on in broad daylight!

I’d rather team up with Haizhu than you.

Go find Cui.”

Tang Le: “I’m teaming up with Tang Kang!”

Tang Kang: “Who wants to team up with you?

I want to team up with Fengling.”

Bai Fengling: “I don’t want to be a bridesmaid because I want to sing at the wedding!”

Tang Kun: “A duet love song?

I’m down for that!”

…

Suddenly!

Fang Qingya popped up and sent a message:

“Can I team up with Lin Yuan?

@Tang Xiao Wu Jie”

Upon seeing this, both Wu Jie and Tang Xiao shook their heads in unison.

“Sorry!

Groomsmen are strictly female only!” Wu Jie replied succinctly.

Just after the message was sent, Lin Yuan chimed in:

“I can play the accompaniment if Fengling wants to sing, but I really wouldn’t know how to be a bridesmaid!”

Fang Qingya: “Then can I be the driver?

I have a friend who rents out cars, including a stretch Lincoln that’s eight and a half meters long, with a bar-like back seat, a long sofa, and a bar counter.

We could head to the wedding venue laughing and singing after picking up the bride!”

Tang Xin sent a voice message, teasingly asking,

“Who do you think you are, someone who can drive anything?”
