Super Sensation!

Genlong Village.

Green hills stretch on like a dragon lying in repose.

And today, on this winding road, a real “dragon” had appeared.

The narrow village path only allowed one car to pass slowly, and it wasn’t easy to pass another car.

Now a large fleet of cars was pouring into the village, and a few were trying to leave.

Thus, tragedy struck.

The entire road was completely blocked.

What’s worse, many more cars were heading to Genlong Village.

So.

The small village actually experienced the sensation of a big city traffic jam.

On the winding road, cars lined up end to end, truly forming a “car dragon.”

The villagers had quite the spectacle to watch.

Because all sorts of luxury cars were gathered here, it was almost like a car show had come to the village.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Land Rover…

All could only obediently crawl on the road, unable to move forward or back.

This traffic jam had even caught the bride and groom on the road.

The greatest distance in the world is probably being at the village entrance but not being able to return.

After several phone calls,

Wu Jie told Tang Xiao and the others not to hurry off the car, as per village custom, the bride should avoid showing her face as much as possible before the firecrackers heralding her arrival at home were set off.

Then he asked his father to organize people to make the cars intending to leave the village reverse out.

Offering cigarettes and red envelopes, asking them to reverse into each household’s yard.

He also organized with the town to divert the traffic, arranging for the cars coming to attend the wedding banquet to temporarily park at the school playground.

They chartered two mid-sized buses to transport guests into the village.

A great battle against the traffic jam swiftly ensued.

Genlong Village had never experienced such a severe traffic jam in its history.

With the efforts of many villagers and town officials, they managed the traffic—diverting, intercepting, giving way…

The long “car dragon” finally began to creep along.

Accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers.

At the Wu Family’s courtyard entrance, many villagers gathered.

Tang Xiao, the bride everyone was eagerly anticipating, finally arrived.

Not just that.

The other women accompanying her were all breathtakingly beautiful, truly a sight for the villagers to behold.

The car Wu Jie was in arrived later, followed by a van.

As soon as he got off the car, Wu Jie organized people to quickly unload.

Then, he arranged for the temporarily unneeded vehicles to be parked up in the mountains.

Especially at Genglong Reservoir, its river-blocking dam and the barren land surrounding the reservoir had enough space to park hundreds of cars.

After solving the traffic problem, Wu Jie pinned a groom’s corsage on his chest and joined Tang Xiao with a tray to greet guests.

The platter was filled with cigarettes and wedding candies, which they offered to the relatives, friends, and villagers inside and outside the courtyard.

As per tradition, tonight was the feast of flowers.

The night before the formal wedding, many guests would come for dinner.

Mr.

and Mrs.

Wu Jianguo had prepared for the wedding well in advance, spending a lot of money to demolish their fruit orchard.

Now the Wu Family’s courtyard was notably spacious, transformed into a model of rural tourism.

Mock hills, ponds, pavilions, and the like were fully equipped.

Even if the yard was large, it couldn’t compete with the overwhelming number of guests.

It was just like a bustling fairground, swarming with people.

Actually, there were many people whom Wu Jie didn’t recognize, even Mr.

and Mrs.

Wu Jianguo didn’t know where they came from.

Had they come to enjoy the commotion or to get familiar with faces?

There were also a few people Wu Jie vaguely knew, but he didn’t really recognize anymore.

Like classmates from kindergarten, elementary, and junior high.

After more than ten years without contact, who the hell would recognize anyone?

Classmates from the same class were okay; at least when reminiscing old times, Wu Jie had some memory.

The most “outrageous” were…

Classmates from different classes, different grades…

Moreover, it was reasonable for teachers who had taught Wu Jie to come as guests.

But what about those who hadn’t taught him, or even the old man from outside the gate?

What was that about?

And then there were the so-called “relatives.”

The sister of an uncle’s cousin…

The cousin’s daughter from an aunt’s maternal home…

The sworn brother of a grandfather from the past…

A childhood classmate of the father…

…

Fucking hell!

Wu Jie felt like all kinds of people had come.

“Relatives and friends” who had little to do with the family all gathered together.

No wonder the courtyard was overcrowded; not only that, but people were everywhere—on the side of the road, on the ridges, and in the fields outside.

And this…

was just those coming for the pre-wedding drinks.

Tomorrow, the formal wedding banquet was to be held, and who knew how many more people would show up as guests.

But…

Visitors are guests, after all!

Everyone who saw Wu Jie and Tang Xiao greeted them with smiles, congratulating them with wishes of wealth, descendants, and a lifelong union…

With all kinds of blessings coming their way, could they really turn people away with a cold face?

No matter if they were genuinely there to congratulate or to rub shoulders and forge connections, they could only meet them with a smile.

Thus.

The tray Wu Jie and Tang Xiao were carrying, filled with cigarettes and wedding candies, was quickly taken by the hands of the guests.

Tang Kun, Tang Xin, and others followed closely behind and hurriedly refilled it.

Time and again…

After a strenuous half an hour and using up several large boxes of “Chunghwa” cigarettes and wedding candies, they finally managed to greet all the guests inside and outside the courtyard.

During this time, of course, they couldn’t avoid hearing all sorts of idle chatter and whispers.

“What a beautiful bride!

They say she’s the village beauty, but placed in the whole county, she’s top tier!”

“Wu Family’s ancestors must have manifested!

To think that Wu Jie, that rascal, could marry a wife with money, power, and beauty!”

“Wu Jie has really soared to the skies!

It’s a pity though, my son earned a Ph.D., yet he’s not as successful as him!”

“Now a billionaire, do you think he will donate a huge sum of money to our village or town?”

“So many guests and yet no collection of wedding gifts, I can’t imagine how much money it’ll cost!”

“Tomorrow’s continuous banquet starts at eleven, and I bet it can’t be done without spending hundreds of thousands!”

…

After the bustle.

Wu Jie felt as though he had run a half-marathon.

Feet aching, hands sore, and the real kicker was his face stiff from smiling.

He didn’t know how many times he had said “thank you.”

Back inside the house.

The living rooms and balconies upstairs and downstairs… it’s the close relatives and friends who gather.

Apart from the old man and the father-in-law who had arrived early, Wu Jie was able to introduce Tang Xiao to each visitor who came to call.

For instance, his uncle, aunt, male cousin, female cousin, and grand-uncle…

Going through each introduction and greeting was truly not a simple task.

And even though red envelopes were not expected at the wedding banquet, some elders insisted on giving them, and they had no choice but to accept.

Although the money was not much, it was still a token of their sentiment.

After all the bustle, they were quite exhausted.

Coaxed by Tang Xin and others, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao went up to the wedding room on the third floor to take a look.

Upon entering the room, they really felt a significant difference.

There were photos of the couple placed all around, the bed was covered with bright red pillows and a duvet, and even the slippers were bright red.

The spacious master bedroom was very cozy, and there was a modern study and gym as well.

Being limited by the house’s old construction, they couldn’t rashly install an indoor swimming pool due to the weight load and leak-proof issues.

However, the bathroom was done up really nicely, especially a huge round bathtub that didn’t feel cramped even with two people soaking in it.

Further.

The skillful Mr.

and Mrs.

Wu Jianguo also created a small sky garden for Tang Xiao.

Vines twined around the ceiling, shielding the blazing sun.

Beneath, there hung a swing and there was a rocking chair placed.

One could hold a book, admire the flowers, sit in the rocking chair, and enjoy some afternoon tea.

The most amusing part was that many of the prepared books were not classic literature or anything of the sort.

Instead, there were various parenting guides, pregnancy preparation essentials, children’s books, and so on.

It was practically a disguised form of ‘encouragement to conceive’!

“Tsk tsk!

Living in the countryside is really nice, huh!”

After making a round, Tang Xin couldn’t help but exclaim,

“The mountains are lovely, the water is splendid, the scenery is beautiful, and the house is pretty, especially suitable for vacations!

Of course, it’s also good for postnatal recovery!”

“The internet speed is great, too!” Tang Kun yelled, “Come on, sis, let’s team up and play online together!”

“Play my foot!

I’m dead tired!”

Tang Xin gave Wu Jie a glance, then casually squeezed next to Tang Xiao and sat down.

Both of them looked completely worn out.

Greeting guests and making polite conversation was really no easy task.

“On such a joyous day, don’t look like you have nothing to live for!”

Tang Xin said playfully.

Tang Xiao glanced coldly and said, “You try smiling and being polite to hundreds of people?

It’s more tiring than running or swimming!”

Tang Xin pouted and said, “No way I’m doing that!

If I ever get married, I won’t hold a banquet at all, it’s too tiring!”

During the idle chat.

Wu Jianguo knocked on the door and hurried in.

“Jie, what’s with that truck that came with you today?

Where did those top-notch ingredients and specialty liquors come from?”

With so many guests, the evening banquet had to be served in a continuous serving style.

Though it wasn’t yet four in the afternoon, they had to start preparing urgently.

Therefore, Wu Jianguo had just been called by the head chef, but he was truly unaware until he saw the supplies, and it was quite a shock.

Wu Jie sat up and immediately explained,

“A friend from Liuli City sent them over for the wedding banquet, but whether to use them for the banquet or keep them for ourselves, that’s for you to decide.

Anyway, they weren’t stolen or snatched!”

A friend from Liuli City?

Wu Jianguo was somewhat puzzled.

What kind of friend would give so much special supply liquor?

And on the packaging boxes, the words “Special Supply” were clearly printed.

Wu Jianguo was certainly not dumb, and he immediately knew that the friend Wu Jie mentioned was not to be trifled with.

“Alright then!

I’ll quickly arrange for someone to tear down those packaging boxes and just keep the bottles ready for use!”

After a brief pause, Wu Jianguo looked toward Tang Xin and others, who were absorbed in their phones.

“Xin’er, Tang Kun, you guys come with me.

I have a task for you!”

“Is it about barbecuing?”

“Going down to the river to catch fish or hunting in the mountains?”

…

The few who had come with a playful mindset followed Wu Jianguo quickly.

Now there were no more unrelated people in the wedding room.

Wu Jie got up, locked the door from the inside, and then flopped down on the couch, using Tang Xiao’s leg as a pillow to sleep.

Tang Xiao glanced at Wu Jie.

“How did the talks go with that special envoy in Liuli City this time?”

Wu Jie sighed.

“I couldn’t get along with Perrio at all.

We barely exchanged a few words before he fainted from anger twice!”

“Tan was worried I’d anger him to death, so he stepped in to negotiate personally!”

“They reached an agreement and didn’t give me a dime, so emptying the storeroom is like compensation for the hard work!”

Tang Xiao laughed, “Old Tan called the old man, praising you as a terrific son-in-law.

You nearly angered the special envoy to death.

He also said he wants to visit Tianyuan when he has time, to meet you in person and really give you a piece of his mind!”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes.

“That Old Tan, really telling on me!

But speaking of which, we drank all night yesterday, and we were calling each other brothers.

Does he have the nerve to scold me now?”

“You believe drunken nonsense?” Tang Xiao snorted coldly and pulled Wu Jie up, “Now that you mention it, I’ve just noticed, you reek of smoke and alcohol!

Go take a shower, quick!”

…

Night.

Amidst the whooshing sounds,

fireworks burst brilliantly in the sky.

Genlong Village was hosting the largest and liveliest wedding banquet in its history, which unexpectedly led to the ‘most awkward’ moment.

There were just too many people!

Strangers with no relation whatsoever were turning up to join the fun, more eager than a market crowd!

It felt like half the county had shown up, not just from the nearby villages.

It was truly a sea of people, a scene of extraordinary liveliness.

Amidst the shining glow of the fireworks, the Wu Family’s courtyard was abuzz with people from a high vantage point.

With so many people flocking to Genlong Village, providing food was the easy part, as banquet tables were set up right on the highway.

But what about accommodation?

Even with every household in the village offering lodging, it was nowhere near enough, and the inns in town had been fully booked long ago.

Therefore,

the county urgently dispatched a large number of disaster relief supplies, especially tents, beds, and mobile emergency toilet cabins.

To prevent any accidents due to the overcrowding,

many police officers rushed over, and ambulances were on standby.

The wedding of Wu Jie and Tang Xiao turned into something resembling a ‘disaster relief’ operation.

Under the night sky,

the tents stood in rows, illuminated by the glow of the fireworks, while police lights flickered.

Many just sat on the ground, forming groups to play cards and stay up all night, as it wasn’t too cold outdoors in the summer.

Playing cards, chatting, barbecuing, and staying up all through the night, time passed quite pleasantly.

Before they knew it, day broke.

And still, more people were coming from all directions, making the crowd even larger, the traffic even worse.

This wedding, which caused a sensation across several counties, ultimately spiraled out of control…
