The scene was as if time had stood still in a strange event, not a single woman present could avert her gaze from the diamond in front of her.
A diamond ring worth over twenty million, just one glance was enough to boast about for a year in front of one's relatives and friends.
"Xiaoyu, what are you waiting for in the cold? Hurry up and put it on for Weiwei!" At this moment, Wang Lijuan was the most anxious one, her daughter was about to wear a diamond ring worth over twenty million, and who would dare boast about how well their daughters were married in front of her after this?
In their circle of middle-aged women, this was simply a dimensionality reduction attack! They were freaking invincible!
"Is this really for me?" Zhu Xiaoyu was still somewhat hesitant.
"Yes, Mr. Zhu, it is the second wedding gift from our boss."
"The second one?" If the convoy of wedding cars was the first gift and the diamond ring was the second, does that mean there would be a third and fourth?
He couldn't help but pinch his leg that wasn't disabled, feeling a sharp pain. He wasn't freaking dreaming! Not even with all the sleeping positions in the world could he dream of such a thing!
"Zhu Xiaoyu, aren't you going to hurry up? If you keep this up, the neighbors rushing to drive out will be blocked!" a groomsman reminded.
Zhu Xiaoyu quickly came back to his senses, handing the box to Ye Wei, "Weiwei, are you willing to go with me?"
"I am willing!" Of course, Ye Wei was willing, even without the diamond ring, even if Zhu Xiaoyu had nothing, she was willing to follow him!
Zhu Xiaoyu smiled, slipping the ring onto Ye Wei's finger, the huge diamond radiating a dazzling brilliance under the slanting sunlight.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm so envious I could die!"
"Boo hoo hoo, such a big diamond ring, how much good karma did Ye Wei accumulate in her past life! A lifetime's worth wouldn't be enough, right?"
"Quick, take a photo, a close-up!" Wang Lijuan hurriedly called the cameraman to work, afraid that in the next moment the diamond ring would no longer belong to Ye Wei. She must develop the photos of the convoy and the ring, frame them with the best frames, and hang them in the most conspicuous place at home!
"Right, and the appraisal certificate! Otherwise, people might think what Weiwei is wearing is just glass!" Wang Lijuan didn't forget to take a dig at her several cousins at this moment.
"Let's go!" Zhu Xiaoyu picked up Ye Wei. Even though he was missing a leg, his physical condition was still excellent. Ye Wei's bridal dress was only about a dozen pounds heavy, all together barely over a hundred-seventeen pounds or so, no issue at all!
"Make way, all of you, clear the path!" Wang Lijuan charged to the front again, leading the charge. My son-in-law has difficulty moving his legs; if anyone bumps into him, I won't let it go!
Wang Lijuan kept calling son-in-law, afraid others wouldn't know Zhu Xiaoyu was her son-in-law.
"Oh, right Mr. Zhu, our boss was worried you'd miss some etiquette due to the rushed wedding preparations, this is a meeting gift for your relatives!" the middle-aged man took out another box.
"This isn't money, is it?" someone curiously peered over.
The box was opened, inside were red envelopes, but these envelopes didn't look very thick, from the outside they seemed to hold at most 100.
Frankly, given the situation, a small red envelope with 100 was already not a small sum, but remember, after the shock of the car convoy and the diamond ring, a mere 100 Yuan red envelope was hard to satisfy the people present.
"Mr. Zhu, the boss said you should handle these red envelopes yourself."
Zhu Xiaoyu paused, then took out a stack of red envelopes, "Mom, please distribute these red envelopes to the relatives."
"Alright, good!" Wang Lijuan quickly handed out the envelopes, distributing about forty or fifty.
"I say, Lijuan, your Xiaoyu is doing so well, with such good friends to support you, these hundred-dollar red envelopes don't seem quite enough!" A few relatives started to pick at it.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the envelopes didn't contain money, but a small piece of paper.
On the paper were several strings of numbers.
"What's this? I thought there would be a lot of money, but they're fobbing us off with a piece of waste paper?" A woman crumpled the paper into a ball and casually threw it into the newly lit brazier, which the bride had to step over on her way out, symbolizing not carrying any dirty things with her.
"This looks like a website address." A young man curiously opened the webpage, which redirected to a platform, "Yibi Network? A virtual currency site??"
"Could this be an account?" He tried entering the account and password, and the last string of numbers was a two-factor authentication code. Sure enough, he logged into the account.
"There's a coin?" He clicked on the account, which displayed, "Bitcoin: 1."
"Bitcoin? A Bitcoin? There's a Bitcoin in this account?" The young man trembled excitedly with both hands. He had no idea how many red envelopes one coin could be worth, it could even cover a respectable wedding!
"What? A Bitcoin account?"
All the young people at the scene were boiling with excitement. Who didn't know about Bitcoin these days? It had already risen to over fifty thousand US dollars each, which translates to more than three hundred thousand Huaxia currency!
"Bitcoin? What's that?" The woman who had just spoken asked curiously, "Isn't that some kind of supermarket token? How much can it be worth?"
"Mom! Bitcoin is a type of virtual currency, and it's currently selling for over three hundred thousand Huaxia currency on the market!"
"What? Over three hundred thousand? Are you sure?" The woman was flabbergasted. She rushed to find the piece of paper with the account and password she had just thrown into the fire basin.
But by that time, where could the paper be found? It had already turned to ashes.
"Damn it! In all my life, I've never seen anyone give away Bitcoins in red envelopes!"
"Just now there were like forty or fifty red envelopes, right? Forty or fifty Bitcoins, that's more than ten million!"
"There must have been a couple hundred envelopes in that box, right? How much is that? A billion? My goodness!"
Wang Lijuan was stunned. Just who exactly was her son-in-law connected to?
And what had she just done? She had actually given away more than ten million in red envelopes? If she had known they contained Bitcoins, would she have given them out one per person?
"Lijuan, this... I accidentally..." The woman from before shamelessly wanted to ask for another one.
"That won't do, one for each person, I can't show favoritism!" After all the sarcastic comments she had made, now she was coming to her? Wang Lijuan would be surprised if she gave her another one, and besides, a three hundred thousand red envelope, the idea of giving one away without feeling heartache was simply impossible, even though it wasn't her money.
"Lijuan, your son-in-law is too amazing!"
"Lijuan, your family stole the show today, over three hundred thousand—now we can renovate our house completely!"
"Lijuan, we definitely should interact more in the future."
Wang Lijuan suddenly became the central figure among the middle-aged women; if not now, then when to cozy up? If Wang Lijuan was in a good mood, that was another red envelope—they could even buy another house!
"Let's go!" Zhu Xiaoyu led Ye Wei over the fire basin and out the front door.
The crackling sound of fireworks started up outside the door again, and when the driver opened the door to the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe, any last suspicions from the crowd instantly dissipated. The car had indeed come to pick him up!
"What are you all dazed for? Get in the car!" urged the drivers.
"Damn, I've never been in a Rolls-Royce in my life!"
"My legs are feeling a bit wobbly."
"Hey, bro, you're not driving the wedding car anymore?"
"With this car, why would I drive a basket? I've never been in a Rolls-Royce in my whole life!"
The grand procession of cars sped off into the distance...
