"Yes, Lin Lin, you're the one getting married, so everything should be new. If it weren't for your cousin's husband being away on a business trip, negotiating a big deal, I would definitely have him lend you his Benz S as your wedding car," Aunt Huang Lin said, always mentioning her son-in-law's successful career and affluent background.
"Aunt, my cousin's car is already very nice," Huang Lin replied with a smile. She was quite easygoing; if she were someone who cared about appearances, she wouldn't have chosen Wang Shun Yuan.
Wang Shun Yuan stood to the side, feeling embarrassed. He had neither a house nor a car at the moment, which indeed made Huang Lin feel awkward in front of her relatives. But there was nothing he could do; he could only silently resent his own inadequacy.
The group got into the car and sped off towards Immortal Lotus Garden.
After more than an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Immortal Lotus Garden. Such a high-end community naturally didn't allow just any vehicles to enter. They parked nearby and gathered at the entrance.
"Hey, where's your friend? She hasn't backed out at the last minute, has she?" Chen Renjing sneered when she saw no one waiting for them.
Huang Lin's relatives all wore gloomy expressions, thinking that Jiang Chen was too unreliable as a friend. Everyone had arrived, yet her figure was nowhere to be seen; it was clear they didn't take Jiang Chen seriously.
"She had something to do this afternoon, so I didn't ask her to come. But she has sent someone with the keys and should be here soon," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. Qin Xiaoya had a company meeting that afternoon and, as the president, she naturally had to attend. Since it wasn't a major event for Jiang Chen, he hadn't insisted on her coming personally.
"Haha, I think her excuse is just that—an excuse. She probably doesn't want to see you. You’ve been played and don’t even realize it. By the time night falls, she likely won't even send the keys over. Today has been a waste of time. Lin Lin, let's just go back to the hotel; if we keep delaying, we won't have time to decorate your wedding room," Chen Renjing said dismissively.
"Forget it; let's go back," Huang Lin's mother shook her head in disappointment. Standing at the entrance of such an upscale community felt embarrassing for their group.
"Mom, Chen Renjing, let's wait a bit longer. We just got here. Jiang Chen said he would send the keys; he will definitely come through for us," Huang Lin tried to reassure them.
"Daughter, we can't just stand here like this with so many people around. Plus, if this young man's friend hasn't shown up yet, it means they don't take him seriously either. Even if we borrow the place, they might hold some resentment about it. I think it's better to just get married at the hotel; it's less hassle," Huang Lin's mother suggested.
"Let's go back; I don't want to stand here in the sun. Just now several passersby looked at us like we were fools. I can't afford to lose face like this; I really shouldn't have trusted this kid's words—would anyone just lend out a place like Immortal Lotus Garden?" Uncle Huang Lin complained. They all considered themselves respectable people and didn't want to be seen as spectacles under the sun.
The group continued to grumble.
It was early afternoon; although it was October, the weather in Beijing was still somewhat warm. The entrance of the upscale community typically had little foot traffic, and with so many people suddenly gathered there, they stood out even more. The security guards couldn't help but stretch their necks in vigilance.
"How about we wait another ten minutes? If no one shows up with the keys after that, we'll head back," Huang Lin said helplessly, trying to give Jiang Chen some face.
