Chapter 397 Wedding Banquet Scene

Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Wedding Banquet Scene

"The groom is my aunt’s son."

"My dad and his siblings are five in total, the first three are boys, my dad is the third, and the fourth and fifth are girls. The one getting married today is the son of my younger aunt, and he’s also my cousin."

"Dou Dou’s mother is the daughter of my second uncle."

"In our generation, there are even more children: my oldest uncle has three sons, my second uncle has three as well—two boys and one girl, the girl being my cousin Jiang Wenxin. As for my dad, he has me and my brother, then there’s my oldest aunt, who has three kids, two girls and one boy, which is the complete opposite of my second uncle. Finally, there’s my younger aunt, she has only one child, the cousin who is getting married today..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan was dumbfounded, what a big family, and this is just the third generation. If it includes the fourth and fifth generations, there could easily be hundreds of people.

"My cousin is getting married, so today there’ll definitely be a lot of elders pushing others to get married too; that’s why I pulled you in to take some heat, hehe..."

"All of you in this generation are married?"

"No, there’s still my brother, but he’s overseas and can’t come back, so no one is sharing the heat with me."

Shen Siyuan suddenly remembered something Ruan Hongzhuang had said to him, and curiously asked.

"Are they all working in government departments?"

"Yeah." Jiang Taoshi casually replied.

Shen Siyuan: ...

He finally understood the real reason why Ruan Hongzhuang said Jiang Taoshi’s family in Bin Hai had a lot of influence. With so many people, even if they don’t hold high positions but are in the key departments in Bin Hai, they still represent a considerable power.

The two of them had breakfast together and then left for the wedding venue directly.

"Don’t you need to help out at your cousin’s place?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.

"I’m from the groom’s side; there’s not much for me to do. Plus, there are a lot of people, and they are headed to the bride’s place now."

"Right, I’m really not very familiar with these things."

"When you marry Ruan Ruan in the future, you’ll understand. Speaking of which, when do you plan to marry Ruan Ruan?"

"That, I’m not sure about. We have never discussed this matter."

"You should hurry up, Ruan Ruan is already twenty-eight; you can’t let her wait too long."

"You two seem really close."

"Of course, she’s my best sister."

"Talking about her—what about yourself? You’re also twenty-eight, and at least Ruan Ruan has me as a boyfriend, when are you planning to get married?"

"Tsk—why so nosy? Can’t I just not marry at all? Also, why is a girl driving? That’s not very gentlemanly." Taozi complained, unhappy.

Clearly, she didn’t want to continue this topic and deliberately changed it.

"You know I can’t drive, and don’t have a license."

"Why don’t you learn? Are you planning to never drive?"

Thus, Shen Siyuan made a joke similar to one he had made with Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Yeah, I’ll just travel by Sword Flight in the future."

When Shen Siyuan had first made that response, Ruan Hongzhuang had laughed heartily, as she didn’t know about Shen Siyuan’s capabilities then.

But now, Taozi knew Shen Siyuan was no ordinary person. On hearing this, she excitedly shuffled closer to the passenger seat.

"Really? You can really fly with a sword?"

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Just bluffing, you better focus on driving."

"Tsk, I knew you were bluffing, →_→"

"Your attempt to provoke me is not very clever."

"Hehe..."

...

The hotel where Taozi’s cousin was holding the wedding is called Tianhai Building, a very ordinary restaurant.

"Because everyone in the family works in the government, they were afraid of a negative impact, so the wedding is quite simple."

Taozi took the initiative to clear up Shen Siyuan’s confusion, then took his arm and was about to head inside.

"Hold on, I have one more question," Shen Siyuan hurriedly interjected.

"It’s already this late, what more could you possibly ask? Don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts now?" Taozi said irritably.

"That’s not what I meant. Since the person getting married today is your cousin, he must be Sister Wenxin’s cousin as well. Isn’t it likely that the couple would also attend today? Won’t our act as boyfriend and girlfriend be exposed right away?"

"Hehe, don’t worry, I promise she won’t expose us."

As Taozi spoke, she hugged Shen Siyuan’s arm and walked inside. Shen Siyuan tried to slip his arm out, but instead, he accidentally brushed against something soft, so he just went along with her.

"Have you spoken to her about this?" Shen Siyuan asked, curious.

"Sort of."

"What do you mean ’sort of’?"

"Stop asking," Taozi cut him off, as they were about to be interrupted by people approaching.

"Taozi..."

"Little sister..."

These people greeted Taozi one by one, all the while sizing up Shen Siyuan with their eyes.

"Taozi, aren’t you going to introduce us..."

"Taozi, have you finally got a boyfriend..."

"If you don’t start dating, your third uncle is going to go completely bald..."

"Haha..."

Everyone burst into laughter. The group was a mix of men and women, young and old, and their relationships seemed quite complex.

"This is my boyfriend, Shen Siyuan; this is my first cousin, my uncle..."

Shen Siyuan grinned and shook hands with them, getting acquainted.

"Young man, you look distinguished. What do you do?"

"How old are you? Where is your family from?"

"How did you meet our Taozi?"

...

Umm..., Shen Siyuan honestly didn’t know how to answer at that moment.

Fortunately, Taozi was well-prepared and answered everyone’s questions herself.

The group surrounded the couple as they entered the banquet hall, where Shen Siyuan realized that the unassuming Tianhai Building was not luxuriously decorated, but it was indeed very spacious inside.

The banquet hall had at least sixty to seventy tables, with already more than half of them occupied.

The groom’s family sat on the left, the bride’s family on the right, all cracking seeds, eating oranges, and chatting freely.

Seeing Taozi, they all greeted her, the aunts and uncles chattering non-stop, and Shen Siyuan suddenly realized that Taozi had only introduced him to her immediate family members, and not even her grandparent’s generation. It was indeed a vast network.

However, it was evident that Taozi was very well-loved, as everyone greeted her and inquired if Shen Siyuan was her boyfriend.

The Guangsha couple was also present, but they just sat in a corner. Obviously, because of an incident with Dou Dou, the Jiang Family had a significant grievance against Guangsha.

Dou Dou could be considered the most cherished child among the four generations of the Jiang Family, a real treasure and joy of everyone. Dou Dou’s accident caused many to grieve.

And since Dou Dou’s accident was mainly the responsibility of Guangsha’s parents, the Jiang Family naturally held a big grudge against them; the couple not getting a divorce was already quite forgiving on Jiang Wenxin’s part.

When the couple saw Shen Siyuan, they were also greatly surprised, then excitedly stood up to greet him.

Upon hearing Taozi proactively explain that Shen Siyuan was her boyfriend, the couple exchanged looks, both seeing the surprise and delight in each other’s eyes.

Awesome, my Taozi.
