Not only Xiao Gang, but Xiao Yulan was also somewhat surprised.

Pei Yongjun was an extremely proud man, someone she rarely saw in ordinary days. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Yet, he had actually come to attend the wedding.

There was also Li Zhenyu, who had originally been firmly against the marriage, but he had surprisingly shown up too.

It seemed that Li Chengyou’s death had significantly elevated Li Chengde’s status within the entire March Group.

"Please welcome the number one Taekwondo master of South Korea, world Taekwondo champion, international superstar Mr. Pei Linfeng! Everyone, please stand up!"

The arrival of Pei Linfeng took the atmosphere of the venue to the ultimate peak.

Countless people stood up to pay respect to Pei Linfeng.

Of course, there were also those who did not stand.

For example, people from the Xiongcheng City Li Family, Empire Group, Xiao Corporation, Xinmeng Group, and so on.

Anyone from the Xiao Chen faction simply continued to sit there and chat leisurely, as if just a common guest had arrived.

Xiao Gang was so excited that his entire body was trembling.

Even Pei Linfeng had come.

This was undoubtedly the most glorious moment for their Xiao Family, at least, that’s what he believed.

Except for Xiao Enze, probably everyone else from the Xiao Family present thought the same.

Numerous women were envious and jealous of Xiao Yulan; for a woman to marry into such a family and gain such glory was probably comparable to an empress in ancient times.

Absolute peak of one’s life indeed.

"Daughter, from now on, don’t associate with someone like Xiao Chen, that little runt, and don’t let others know he’s your cousin. That would be too shameful."

Xiao Gang said to Xiao Yulan.

Just as Xiao Yulan was about to speak, Pei Yongjun smiled and said, "Congratulations, Chengde, for marrying such a good wife.

Yu Lan, from now on, you are part of our March Group. If the Xiao Family encounters any trouble, feel free to bring it up. You have our support.

However, I don’t want you to have any further entanglements with certain lowlifes.

They are not worthy."

"Thank you, President Yongjun!"

Xiao Gang and most of the Xiao Family members present actually knelt on the ground to thank him.

They didn’t see it as a humiliation; having the attention of the March Group meant their Xiao Family would definitely become more powerful than before.

Xiao Gang even turned to Xiao Enze and said, "You see, Xiao Enze, I have accomplished what you could not. Our Xiao Family is now under the protection of the March Group.

Thinking about it, I should thank you. Without your actions back then leading to the destruction of the Xiao Family, I probably wouldn’t have today.

I truly thank you.

Also, those filthy funds you provided our family, I don’t care for them and will repay them all in the future.

Let’s not mention anything else, the dowry my daughter has received is more than enough."

Xiao Enze’s face looked somewhat displeased.

"All of you stand up. The Xiao Family, even if we’re poor, we should not lose our spirit. You are actually kneeling and begging before a foreigner, don’t you feel ashamed?

To give up even the most basic dignity?"

"Don’t come preaching to us. In today’s society, people scorn the poor, not the prostitutes. As long as we have money, have status, who dares to mock us!" Xiao Gang said.

"You like money, right? I can give you that! Now stand up!"

Xiao Enze could accept everything else, but seeing Xiao Gang leading a group of Xiao Family members in kneeling before a foreigner was something he couldn’t tolerate.

"With that little money of yours, what can you do? It’s not even as much as my daughter Yu Lan’s dowry." Xiao Gang said disdainfully.

"Moreover, you are no longer the Xiao Family Patriarch, what right do you have to order us around? Didn’t you pass on the position of family head to your son?

Later, when he arrives, he will have to kneel before President Yongjun too," Xiao Gang said with an air of righteousness.

Xiao Enze looked on, full of disappointment.

He had been too indulgent with Xiao Gang in the past, to the point where Xiao Gang would give up even his dignity after suffering a little hardship.

"If he comes, I might not be able to control myself, and if he decides to drive you all out of the Xiao Family, I won’t stop him."

"You people are a disgrace to the Xiao Family!"

Xiao Enze was extremely disappointed.

He could tolerate Xiao Gang’s defiance and disrespect on normal days.

But this time, he could not stand it.

The elders of the Xiao Family, in times of national crisis, had never stooped to be someone else’s dogs; they had persisted in fighting against foreign powers.

Even though many had died, they had not lost their national integrity.

How could these people have the face to kneel now?

"Hahaha, he still thinks he can expel us from the family clan? What a joke, even if he showed up himself, he would have to kneel!"

Xiao Gang laughed out loud.

Xiao Enze was already too lazy to speak to Xiao Gang; this person was truly beyond redemption.

"Alright, it’s almost twelve o’clock, the wedding ceremony can’t go past midnight, let’s start now."

Pei Yongjun looked at Xiao Enze with disdain.

It seemed like every mouse from every corner dared to meddle in his affairs.

How ridiculous.

"Okay, if Yongjun says to start, then let’s start!"

Li Chengde laughed.

Xiao Gang and the others also stood up.

No matter what, he was the bride’s family member; he couldn’t keep kneeling forever.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Enze stood up and looked at Li Zhenyu, "There are still over forty minutes until midnight, there’s no rush. I am very curious about the bride price the March Group has given to the Xiao Family.

I believe everyone here wants to know too, after all, March Group is an international corporation; they can’t be too stingy."

"Do we need a bride price?"

Li Zhenyu glanced at Xiao Enze and said, "The mere fact that the people from our March Group are willing to marry Xiao Yulan is already her climbing high.

Our prestige is the bride price!"

Hearing this, the people present began to murmur.

March Group clearly didn’t hold the Xiao Family in high regard.

Even in union, it was nothing more than valuing Xiao Yulan’s capabilities.

To March Group, the Xiao Family looked like poor in-laws.

Xiao Gang not only wasn’t angry but laughed and said, "Mr. Li is right, we don’t need a bride price. It’s Yulan’s great fortune earned over eight lifetimes to be able to marry Chengde.

It’s the honor of our Xiao Family."

Subsequently, he turned to Xiao Enze and said, "Shut your mouth, mind your own business. Don’t try to ruin my daughter’s happiness just because you yourself are a failure!"

"I actually think there’s no need to rush the wedding. I have a few friends who haven’t arrived yet. Plus, Xiao Chen hasn’t shown up, has he?

Is it because he’s afraid of losing face, so he dares not come?

I’m really looking forward to seeing him kneeling before me."

Li Chengde also spoke up.

Just at that moment, several sharply-dressed men and women entered through the door.

They were clearly rich heirs and heiresses.

They all spoke Korean.

"These are a few friends of mine from South Korea, their families hold significant positions in South Korea, either as heads of large corporations or as bosses."

Li Chengde boasted with pride.

One of the women was particularly close to Li Chengde, "Oppa, is this the woman you’ve chosen? She’s not that great. She’s not worthy of you at all.

How about we change today’s wedding to be between the two of us instead?"

This woman was speaking broken Mandarin, obviously on purpose.

She intended to embarrass Xiao Yulan.

This was a setup by Li Chengde; he wanted Xiao Yulan to know that even if she married him, she would have no status in his home.

Just work obediently.
