The convoy started from the Tang family manor in the northern part of the city and headed for the Huo family manor in the eastern end of the city.
The long queue of luxury cars attracted everyone's attention as they made their way, and many in the crowd pulled out their phones to snap pics or record video of the event. A number of journalists already knew of the big event tying two of the most powerful families in the city together. Those guys had found the best spots to camp out in, the best spots for the best photos.
When the convoy arrived at the Huo family manor, there were already a ton of people waiting there. They were all chatting amongst themselves and laughing.
The cars rolled up to the manor gate. Dressed in a formal black designer suit, Sheffield emerged from his Aston Martin holding a large bouquet of champagne roses.
The six groomsmen also left their cars, including Gifford and Joshua. Gifford drove a McLaren F1, and Joshua was in a Lotus Esprit. Both quintessentially British cars sported bright red paint jobs.
The other four groomsmen were Sheffield's good friends. None of them were from ordinary families. Some of the onlookers soon found that one of them was a domestic superstar, and another was a prince of M Country.
Gwyn was in a pink princess dress and Blair held her. Colleen stood next to them. When she saw Sheffield, the little girl immediately wriggled in Blair's arms and exclaimed, "Daddy! Daddy!" Blair carefully set the girl down, making sure the little one was steady on her feet, and she ran towards Sheffield.
Sheffield's eyes were full of tenderness when he saw his little girl running full tilt at him. He held the roses in one hand and scooped up his daughter in the other. "Let's go to Mommy, sweetie!"
Gwyn clapped her hands. "Mommy upstairs. The dress, byoo-ee-full." She tried to say "beautiful," but that was a big word, full of subtle, difficult-to-master sounds.
Sheffield understood what she meant. Evelyn looked stunning in her wedding dress. "Oh, really? Then could you please take Daddy to have a look at Mommy?"
"Yes!"
As Sheffield walked towards the villa with Gwyn in his arms, many guests were amazed at how happy he was—and how lucky. "You never see grooms carrying their daughters before the wedding. That guy has it all. He married the hottest socialite in the
n, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family was also one of the richest socialites in the city.
"I don't know her." Gifford did not recognize the bridesmaid who just spoke, but he added with a sigh, "I guess it's true. Beautiful people always play with beautiful people." The bride and bridesmaids were all incredibly lovely.
Sheffield straightened up his clothes and said confidently, "No problem. Fire away!"
"Listen up. You have to circle the room three times carrying a groomsman on your back for each wrong answer."
Sheffield looked at the group of bridesmaids in astonishment, and tried to make it easier on his buddies. "Why not ask a groomsman to walk around the room three times with a bridesmaid on his back?"
"Great idea!" Gifford clapped his hands.
Joshua wanted to shout his approval too, but he didn't dare. Terilynn was part of this. So he took a step back and let other single people join the game.
Libby Qiao, the head bridesmaid, thought for a while and said, "Okay."
"Come on, Libby. You know that's not fair!" one of the bridesmaids screamed.
Another bridesmaid responded calmly, "Don't panic. Just ask Libby to do it. Don't forget that she's also a bridesmaid."
"You're right."
Libby Qiao smiled and reminded Sheffield, "Quit stealing glances at the bride. Now, for the first question..."
The bridesmaid's words drew unwanted attention to Sheffield. Quite a few guests happened to spot Sheffield trying to look at Evelyn, and the crowd burst into laughter again.
"Question number 1: What is Evelyn's favorite food?"
