One of them was a traditional Chinese-style embroidered dress for greeting guests, one was for the lawn event and while the other was another Chinese-style dragon and phoenix robe for the indoor ceremony.
Mu Yazhe had specially hired a top-notch stylist and makeup team. Hence, even though it was a combination of Chinese and Western style wedding, there was no need to worry about clashes in makeup.
It was 6am by the time the makeup was done. Yun Shishi had just changed into her embroidered dress when Gong Jie arrived.
He walked into the room and saw that Yun Shishi had already changed and was standing in front of the full-length mirror, with the makeup artist putting on her headdress. When she turned around, Gong Jie was stunned!
He complained bitterly as he walked towards her. “I wonder where Brother-in-law got his good fortune to marry my sister.”
He stood in front of her and studied her with affection. With a smile, he gently held her hand.
“Sis, you look stunning!”
She looked at him and probed, “How stunning?”
“The world’s number one beauty!”
“Hmph! You always know how to make me happy!”
“I’m not trying to make you happy! You’re so beautiful that I can’t bear to marry you off!”
Gong Jie’s words were sincere, especially when he looked upon Yun Shishi’s beauty. Deep down, he cursed and swore, wondering how Mu Yazhe even manged to steal his sister!
“He’d better not expect to take you away easily today!”
There was something evil behind Gong Jie’s smile. “I found out about the Chinese wedding process last night. Supposedly the bride’s family has to stand guard when the bridegroom turns up to get his bride! He’d better not expect this to be easy.”
Yun Shishi asked nervously, “What are you up to?”
“Huh huh.”
Gong Jie only sneered and did not say much else!
At 7am, Xiao Xue, Mu Xi, and Jun Mo arrived. They had changed into their bridesmaid outfits and put on their makeup in advance. Hua Jin had turned up as well. Considered part of the bride’s family, he was therefore responsible for guarding the door as well.
And now, they were just waiting for the groom to come and get his bride!
At 8am, Mu Yazhe arrived with a fleet of cars. They were all stretch Bentley cars, and leading them was his own limited edition Rolls Royce. As the car rolled up and pulled to a stop at the house, Gong Jie shut the door.
According to tradition, the bride’s family will have to guard the door when the groom turns up to get his bride. However, if it were any other family, they would have been much easier for Mu Yazhe to deal with. He would only have needed to stuff red packets under the doorway.
Mu Yazhe had specially sealed a few hundred red packets the night before, but the problem was whether all these red packets even meant anything to Gong Jie?
The man had already stuffed dozens of red packets through the crack underneath the door. Hua Jin had already collected a bagful of red packets, but Gong Jie, who was guarding the door, had no intention of letting him off.
“Brother-in-law, this red packet is not good enough to unlock the door!”
The groomsmen behind Mu Yazhe immediately became restless.
Lu Jinyu moved in next to Mu Yazhe and whispered, “Brother-in-law, this young brother-in-law guarding the door doesn’t seem to be easy to deal with.”
Jiang Shen was anxious as well. “How many red packets have you given them? They should be happy enough to let us in, right?”
Mu Yazhe had long predicted that Gong Jie was going to be an obstruction. But today was a special day and he had to bear with it. Hence, he calmly asked, “Xiao Jie, what do I have to do to get in?”
“For a start, a hundred push-ups.”
A hundred push-ups!?
Gong Jie added, “Finish it in one go. No stopping to rest.”
Jiang Shen let out a blood-curdling scream. “No stopping to rest?!”
