Chapter 1258 A Nationwide Celebration, A Wedding of the Century
Although she suspected that Chen Yang and this woman might have had an affair, and that something had happened between them, Li Xianglian did not ask for details.
As a smart woman, she knows what to ask, what not to ask, what she can ask, and what she cannot ask.
She was already very content that Chen Yang could give her a home, a wedding, and even a child.
After finding the wedding photography studio, Chen Yang chose the most expensive package, thus enjoying the privilege of skipping the queue; otherwise, he would have had to wait several days before the shoot could begin. They chose several wedding dresses and several suits, and the couple continued shooting until dusk.
As evening fell, when the couple returned to the village, one in a suit and the other in a wedding dress, they found the entire village brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. Red lanterns hung high, creating a beautiful and festive atmosphere. Every road in the village was covered with red carpets, making it feel like a New Year celebration. Not only were there villagers, but many guests from the resort also came to join in the festivities.
The vehicles parked at the entrance of the village stretched as far as the eye could see.
"My goodness, whose wedding is this? The scale is too big! The whole village has been mobilized and decorated, and there are so many luxury cars. Even the four great families of Chuzhou wouldn't go to this extent!" A tourist from out of town exclaimed in astonishment.
"Hehehe, you're so ignorant. Considering the groom's status, this kind of pomp and circumstance is nothing. If you ask me, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to hold a state banquet and a national celebration," said another vacationer, seemingly having received some prior information, his tone quite arrogant.
"Holding a state banquet and state gifts, celebrating with the whole country? You're exaggerating a bit too much, aren't you? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Who's entitled to have their wedding celebrated with the whole country? Tell me, what's their rank and how much are they worth?"
"As far as I know, he's not an official at all. As for his wealth, I don't know. He might have some money, but not a lot."
"Stop being so mysterious, just tell me who the groom is. If you keep keeping me in suspense, I'll get angry and I won't play with you anymore."
"Far away yet right before our eyes! Whoever this statue is, that is the groom."
A tourist from the resort pointed sharply at a marble statue at the entrance of the village committee compound.
Instantly, everyone else fell silent.
This 15-meter-tall marble statue depicts a male war god, clad in dragon-scale armor and wielding a greatsword, exuding an imposing aura. This image has recently gone viral online.
"Oh, it's Chen the Great Demon King getting married. No wonder it's such a grand affair. I wonder if I can crash the wedding banquet."
"It shouldn't be a problem to freeload at a wedding banquet, but you have to prepare the red envelope first."
……
When news of Chen the Great's wedding spread, thousands of tourists who were enjoying themselves at the resort flocked to the small village. It wasn't entirely to join the wedding party; many wanted to catch a glimpse of Chen the Great.
After taking their wedding photos, Chen Yang returned to Qinghe Village from the resort and was stunned to find many luxury cars parked at the entrance of the village and the village packed with people.
When he returned to his large villa, he was stunned once again.
Many familiar faces came to my house.
"You brat, you had to keep such a big thing as your wedding a secret from your sister. What do you take me for? An outsider?"
A tall, alluring woman walked gracefully to Chen Yang, reached out her slender hand, and pinched Chen Yang's waist hard.
"Alright, it's a joyous occasion, let him off the hook, lest outsiders laugh at him. He's a national hero now," said another beautiful woman in a long dress, her smile radiant.
"So that's why you left me alone in the city. Turns out you secretly ran off to the countryside to get married. You're quite the sly one," said a woman in a long white dress with a stunning figure and breathtaking beauty as she walked over.
These three women are Qiao Qiumeng, Yun Jinxiu, and Miss White Fox.
Another beautiful senior sister, Zhao Qingyun, was also there.
In addition, there is Grandmaster Wu Shanhe, his two twin granddaughters Wu Xueer and Wu Yaner, and so on.
Chen Yang was speechless; he hadn't even notified these people!
How did these people know?
He didn't know anyone in the village or his friends in the city.
Actually, it was all Zhou Yaxuan's fault for letting loose and telling Qiao Qiumeng that Chen Yang was getting married in the village. Qiao Qiumeng then rallied everyone, and they all came.
Chen Yang was worried that these women would cause trouble and create problems for him, such as marrying all of them at one wedding or having each woman hold her own wedding, so he did not notify them.
Actually, he was overthinking it.
These women came simply to witness his wedding.
After all, in this secular world, they also care about their reputation.
What Chen Yang didn't expect was that she was willing to be Li Xianglian's bridesmaid.
"I want to be a bridesmaid too."
"I also want."
Wu Xueer and Wu Yaner quickly signed up to be bridesmaids for Li Xianglian.
These good sisters of theirs thought of her wholeheartedly; Li Xianglian was so moved she almost cried.
Because so many people came to the village, it was like a market fair, and the prepared banquet was simply not enough. The village had to limit the flow of people, close roads, and persuade some tourists from the resort to go home.
Even so, luxury cars continued to arrive one after another at the entrance of the village, creating a bustling atmosphere.
Many people come here because of its reputation!
As a national hero and one of the world's greatest men, his marriage is a matter of great concern to the entire world.
In just half a day, the news spread at an astonishing speed, not only dominating the headlines in domestic news media, but also making headlines in many media outlets around the world.
Chen Yang wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength wouldn't allow it!
"Excuse me, everyone, this wedding is a private ceremony for our village and is not open to the public. Please go home." The villagers blocked the road into the village and said to the guests who had come to see the wedding.
"It's alright, it's alright. We're just here to present a congratulatory gift to express our respect for Chen Tianren. He is a great hero of Chuzhou, a fine son of Chuzhou. Our admiration for him is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks."
Many people sent congratulatory gifts, including gold and silver jewelry, luxury cars and watches, antiques and calligraphy and paintings, and even mansions, etc., all kinds of gifts.
Many of them are quite valuable.
Village Chief Chen Fugui's idea was that since it was everyone's kind gesture, they should accept it.
"Sir, you cannot enter. Please stay here."
An elderly man, a middle-aged man, and a young couple stepped out of a Rolls-Royce. But they were stopped before they could even set foot into the small village.
"Open your eyes and see clearly who I am!" the middle-aged man roared.
"who are you?"
"You must be blind! I own this Qinghe Resort. Who do you think I am? Bring the village chief, Chen Fugui, over here!" The middle-aged man snorted and glared, speaking loudly with the air of a superior.
"You are, Mr. Qiao? My apologies, please come in."
Upon recognizing the newcomers, the villagers of Qinghe Village who were guarding the intersection were filled with fear and quickly let them pass.
Without the Qiao Group, there would be no Qinghe Village as it is today.
The resort will not exist either.
With such a great contribution, people will definitely give Chen Yang face when they attend his wedding.
Indeed, these visitors are Qiao Qiumeng's father, Qiao Zhenhua; her grandfather, Qiao Boxiong; her brother, Qiao Chenguang; and her sister-in-law, Su Xiaoxiao.
They saw the information online and came over immediately.
Not long after the Qiao family entered Qinghe Village, another Rolls-Royce drove up, and a burly, muscular middle-aged man in a Tang suit stepped out, followed by four bodyguards. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.
"Sorry, boss, we've sealed off the village. You can't come in. But if you want to give a gift, we can accept it on behalf of the groom," a villager said with a smile.
"The village is under lockdown, so why can they get in but I can't?" the burly man said, pointing at the Qiao family members who hadn't gone far, clearly indignant.
“You mean them? They’re the owners of Qinghe Resort, from the Qiao family, one of the four great families of Chuzhou. The entire Qinghe Resort was built by the Qiao family. They’ve done such a great favor, so isn’t it only right that we let them into the village?” a villager said.
"So what? I'm still the groom's father-in-law. Get out of my way and let me in. Otherwise, I'll call my son-in-law out, and you'll be sorry."
"You're Chen Yang's father-in-law? What a joke! The bride's parents are all gone, how could there be a father-in-law?"
The villagers who had blocked the road didn't believe it.
"You still don't believe me, huh? Fine, fine, I'll call Chen Yang right now."
This big shot had a fiery temper. He immediately made a phone call, which was quickly answered. He explained the situation and then handed the phone to a villager.
Upon hearing the voice on the phone, the villager who answered it shuddered, because the call had indeed reached Chen Yang and was telling them to let the person in immediately.
"Humph!"
With a flick of his sleeve and a hint of disdain, the big shot strode into the village, surrounded by four bodyguards.
"Strange, aren't Li Xianglian's parents both deceased? So where did this father-in-law come from? And this man looks like a big shot."
Several villagers who had blocked the road started discussing it, all looking puzzled.
They also have a fixed mindset, believing that a man can only have one woman, and therefore can only have one father-in-law.
In fact, this powerful man was none other than Yun Jinxiu's father, Yun Batian, a former gangster boss who had gone straight.
Just as some villagers were discussing this, a middle-aged couple arrived and also requested to enter the village.
"What right do you have to enter the village? Don't tell me you're the groom's parents-in-law too," a villager said, somewhat speechless, and quickly waved his hand, trying to get the couple to leave.
“Oh dear, how did you know? We are the groom’s parents-in-law. If you don’t let us in, we’ll call the groom.” said the middle-aged man from the middle-aged couple.
"..."
Several male villagers felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and were speechless.
Just now, Chen Yang's father-in-law went in, and everyone was still figuring out what was going on. Now another couple has come in claiming to be his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Could things get any more ridiculous?
“Go ahead and try to break through. If you can, I’ll let you in right away,” a villager said.
"They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin. I'll start hitting them right now."
The middle-aged man took out his phone and immediately dialed, making it sound very serious, and he actually got through.
When he handed the phone to one of the villagers, it was indeed Chen Yang's voice on the other end, telling them to let them pass immediately.
"Wow, it really is Chen Yang's father-in-law and mother-in-law! Please, please, please!"
The men, once again filled with trepidation, let the person in again.
This middle-aged couple are none other than Zhao Qingyun's parents.
After seeing the news of Chen Yang's wedding online, they first tried to call their daughter, but couldn't get through, so they came over to check on her.
It's worth mentioning that these few big shots were just minor figures; even more big shots were about to appear.
"Qin Hongsheng, the patriarch of the Qin family, one of the four great families of Chuzhou, has arrived and presented a congratulatory gift."
"Secretary Yuan Kejie has arrived..."
"Mayor Zheng Minghui has arrived..."
"Director Xu Zhenshan has arrived..."
……
"The richest man in Jiangnan Province, Mr. Cao Huanian, has arrived and presented a congratulatory gift."
"Yan Shouxin, the patriarch of the Yan family, one of the eight great families of the capital, has arrived to present a congratulatory gift."
"The Ye family, an ancient martial arts family in the capital, has sent their patriarch Ye Kunlun to present a congratulatory gift."
……
One big shot after another, each with an astonishing identity.
Chen Yang was particularly surprised that the Yan and Ye families from the capital city would send people, as they were so far away.
Little did they know, they all had their own private jets and flew over there.
In particular, Yan Shouxin, the head of the Yan family, one of the eight great families in the capital, did not come alone; the heads of the other seven great families also came with him.
The eight most powerful families in the capital—who are they?
In some ways, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them celestial beings.
But when it comes to Chen Yang, she still has to curry favor with him.
Ye Kunlun, the patriarch of the Ye family, did not come alone. He was accompanied by several grandmasters, all of whom were giants who had their sights set on a province or a city.
Just when everyone thought that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, and that no one more important than him could possibly be coming, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of Qinghe Village:
"Special envoy from the Little Sun Kingdom, Mr. Nomura Inoue, representing the authorities of the Little Sun Kingdom, has come to congratulate Mr. Chen and Ms. Li on their wedding and to present a wedding gift!"
Everyone who heard it felt like they were in a dream, and thought they had misheard.
It was just a rural wedding, so why did people from the national level come?
Moreover, the Little Sun Kingdom and our Dongda University have always been at odds, and they have absolutely no connection with Chen Yang.
Just as everyone was discussing this, a voice came from the village entrance again:
"Special envoy of South Korea, Mr. Park Dae-jung, on behalf of the South Korean authorities, congratulates Mr. Chen Yang and Ms. Li Xianglian on their marriage."
"Special Envoy James of the Watch Kingdom, on behalf of the authorities of the Watch Kingdom, congratulates Mr. Chen and Ms. Li on their happy marriage and eternal union."
"Special envoy from the Kingdom of Gaul..."
"Special Envoy of the Sunset Empire..."
"Special envoy of the Russian Empire..."
"Special envoy of the Star-Spangled Empire..."
……
As the sounds rang out, the entire village was in an uproar, filled with noise.
