Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Sister-in-law

Chapter 69 -69 Sister-in-law

The pre-opening thank-you banquet was a joint idea of Chen Cheng and Xiao Meier.

As the first batch of guests before the official opening, the Willow Tree Three Tigers and their families had all arrived.

However, when they saw the completely transformed Wanbao Hall, each of them couldn’t believe their own eyes.

“Damn, Meier!

Dacheng really has a good eye for things!” Feng Biao, holding the opening gift for Chen Xiao, walked in.

“This renovation, and this huge vase!” He circled the lobby and looked towards the stand, “I’ll just put the fortune cat here, alright!”

Xiao Meier’s smile was as radiant as flowers, “Shu Biao, you’re being too polite for coming to eat with us!”

“You’ve already been a big help with the motorcade,” she said as she took the gift and carefully placed it.

“Eh, looking for some good luck!” Feng Biao laughed heartily.

“Where’s Yingzi?”

“She should be here soon.” Feng Biao noticed Chen Cheng wasn’t there, “Eh?

Where’s Dacheng?”

Xiao Meier replied: “Stuck in traffic, he should arrive soon.”

She happily chose a direction she liked for the fortune cat decoration and then said, “You go on in first, Li Dinger and Xia Bao are already here.”

“Alright.” Feng Biao nodded, “Wishing you great fortune on your opening, sister-in-law.”

The term sister-in-law made Xiao Meier’s cheeks blush slightly.

“I’m waiting for Yingzi,” she said with a smile.

“You have to drink more tonight.”

“Definitely, drinking with Dacheng, I have to put my life on the line, right?” Feng Biao joked.

Not long after Feng Biao left, Liu Ying, who had just finished work, also entered Wanbao Hall.

Seeing Xiao Meier alone, she asked curiously, “Hey, why are you by yourself?”

Xiao Meier looked towards the door, “Xiao Cheng is still on his way; he went to handle some matters this afternoon.”

“That must have been a traffic jam.

When I was coming here, the line of cars was endless.”

Liu Ying took Xiao Meier’s arm, “Come on, Meier, let’s go inside and wait.

It’s not good for you to stand here alone.”

Xiao Meier thought Liu Ying made sense.

Although tonight’s guests were all acquaintances, with Chen Cheng not present, she as the hostess should stand in for him and not neglect their friends.

“Okay, let’s go inside,” Xiao Meier nodded, “We’ve got a big meal planned for tonight!”

“Hahaha, what delicious dishes have you prepared?” Liu Ying asked curiously, “I heard from Shu Biao that Dacheng has hired a great chef!”

Xiao Meier smiled and said, “Yes, he is quite amazing.”

“Hey, Xiao Hai,” she greeted Chen Donghai, who was sitting in the lobby, “when Xiao Cheng arrives, could you please tell him that everyone is here?”

Chen Donghai stood up from his seat and nodded, “Of course, Miss Xiao.”

Xiao Meier couldn’t help but look out the door one more time before she and Liu Ying headed to the only private room in Wanbao Hall.

About twenty minutes later, the tardy Chen Cheng finally appeared at the entrance of Wanbao Hall.

“Mr.

Chen, all the guests have arrived,” Chen Donghai reminded him.

Chen Cheng nodded slightly, and just as he walked forward two steps, he stopped again.

He took off the Rolex gifted by Xia Yubing and handed it to Chen Donghai, “Hold this for me.”

Chen Donghai accepted it with both hands, “Sure thing, Mr.

Chen.”

Chen Cheng took a deep breath, his face wearing a smile, before he finally entered the private room.

As the door opened, everyone’s gaze turned to Chen Cheng, who had finally arrived.

“Sorry, the traffic was horrendous!

I nearly walked here,” Chen Cheng said.

Xiao Meier, who hadn’t sat down yet, finally felt relief when Chen Cheng arrived.

“Look at the sweat you’ve got.” She pulled out a few sheets of paper to wipe the sweat from Chen Cheng’s face.

Chen Cheng smiled faintly, “That’s enough.”

“Hey, look at these two.

The more I look at Dacheng and Meier, the more they seem like a couple!” Feng Biao joked with a rhythm, “A talented man and a beautiful lady, so well-matched!”

Ding Chaohui nodded, “That’s what we say, Dacheng is really lucky!

Having such a beautiful wife like Meier, his life is complete!”

Xia Gaoqiang also joked: “That’s right, Dacheng, among us ‘Willow Tree Four Tigers,’ you’re definitely the luckiest one!”

“What Four Tigers?!” Wang Hui slapped Xia Gaoqiang on the back, “You’re an adult now and still reminiscing about childhood?

If you’ve got time for that, you should find yourself a daughter-in-law to bring home!”

“Ow, Mom!” Xia Gaoqiang signaled with his eyes, “We’re here today to celebrate Dacheng and Xiao Er’s wedding.

Why bring this up now?”

“Look, Feng Biao got married to Yingzi, Cheng Cheng and Xiao Er have gotten together, and among you guys, only….”

Xia Gaoqiang immediately pointed at Li Dinger, “Hey, isn’t Li Dinger also without a plan?”

“Sorry, I’ve recently started dating someone.” Li Dinger lifted his teacup, “In a few days, I’ll introduce you all.”

“What are you saying, you suddenly started dating?” Xia Gaoqiang was quite surprised.

Chen Cheng was also surprised about Li Dinger’s sudden romance; he had never heard him mention it before.

“You need to step it up, now you’re the only one left single,” Li Dinger said.

Chen Cheng walked over to the table and sat down, “Eh?

Isn’t your old man coming?”

“He’ll come tomorrow.

He’s got to go dancing with those aunts tonight,” Li Dinger looked at Chen Cheng, “Shall we start the meal?”

“Start!”

Shortly after, Zhao Lingfang and others came in carrying appetizers.

Dressed in qipaos tailored by Wang Hui herself, the girls’ elegance shone through, as if they were beauties from an old era, adding an ancient charm to this thanksgiving banquet.

On the white, fine bone china plates were exquisite dishes.

“Black truffle sturgeon roe mixed with fine celery.”

The names of the dishes were gently and neatly echoed in the private room.

Chen Cheng was quite satisfied with such service.

After all, to have this level of coordination within just a few hours was pretty good.

Wang Hui, the only elder present, had never seen such beautifully presented dishes in her life.

She nudged Xia Gaoqiang’s arm, “Son, why is the name of this dish so long?”

Although Xia Gaoqiang was a primary school PE teacher, he had often overheard the leaders talk when he was a substitute on the city team in his younger years.

The seemingly ordinary cold celery dish in front of him was clearly pricey.

“Mom, this is really good stuff!” He replied, “Dacheng has really spared no expense!”

“Boss, here’s the allocated wine,” Zhao Lingfang brought over a tray to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng gestured around, “Everyone take one!

No backing out today!”

Then to Wang Hui he said, “Aunt Hui, do you want corn juice, or…”

“I’ll have tea,” Wang Hui looked at Chen Cheng affectionately, “Cheng Cheng, your restaurant is so high-end?

I’ve never eaten these things in my life!”

“You can come here anytime you like from now on,” Chen Cheng said generously, “When I was young, I ate at your place, now it’s time to repay you.”

“You kid…” Wang Hui was quite moved.

Chen Cheng smiled slightly, raising his glass, “Let’s drink first!”

“To Dacheng and Xiao Er, may your business prosper!”

Xiao Meier also raised her glass, “Thank you all for taking care of Xiao Cheng, I…”

“Xiao Er, from now on, Dacheng’s gonna need your care!” Li Dinger said with a smile.

Feng Biao took the chance to say, “What ‘Xiao Er’?

Starting today, let’s switch and call her sister-in-law!”

“Sister-in-law!”

“Sister-in-law!”

This was the first time Xiao Meier felt shy being called that privately.

But now, her heart was filled with pride and contentment.

Because Chen Cheng’s three best buddies had accepted her, accepted the seemingly impossible love between her and Chen Cheng.

She smiled radiantly, looking towards Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng took Xiao Meier’s hand, “For that statement, today we won’t return until we’re drunk!”

“Cheers!”
