One could latch onto such a powerful figure, and their future would undoubtedly soar.
Wu Lan couldn't help but recall Ye Yun's words that night.
"This card has five million, the PIN is Meng Yao's birthday. Consider it Meng Yao's filial piety to you over the years."
No wonder!
No wonder Ye Yun had spoken so casually about it then!
It turned out the other party simply didn't care about the five million!
Damn it!
How could she have been so shortsighted back then, choosing the trivial over the important?
"Ye Yun, my good son-in-law..." Seeing that her granddaughter's path was blocked, Wu Lan shamelessly turned to Ye Yun again.
However...
Ye Yun acted as if he hadn't heard, happily conversing with Song Yunfan and the others.
At such a moment, Wu Lan would never dare to interrupt the "good son-in-law's" conversation.
She shifted her gaze to Li Mengyao.
However, Li Mengyao, as his own daughter, was more direct. She took Ke Ke's hand and smiled.
"Ke Ke, why don't you go to Tianxiang Mansion with Mommy and wait for Uncle?"
"Okay~" Ke Ke, clutching her little golden pig, smiled adorably.
Then, she followed Li Mengyao into the Urus and drove away, mother and daughter not even glancing at Wu Lan or Li Zengguo the entire time.
The Li family's relatives felt as if they were living in a dream today.
They could never have imagined that something more dramatic than a soap opera would unfold before their eyes.
What was supposed to be a simple wedding.
The bride had suddenly started making demands, asking for the moon.
But then things escalated, with the bride revealed to be pregnant with another man's child!
And then the bride was changed entirely, turning a wedding banquet into an engagement party!
Even the venue shifted from Jinling International to Tianxiang Mansion...
Tianxiang Mansion!
That was a renowned high-end hotel in Jinling.
Under normal circumstances, they would never have had any connection with Tianxiang Mansion in their lifetime.
What was even more astonishing were the appearances of so many prominent figures.
Jinling influencers, popular young actresses, luxury cars as wedding vehicles, renowned Jinling radio hosts...
Yet, this was far from the climax.
As the identities of Zhao Yuanyang, Wang Wenwen, Song Yunfan, Wang Hailin, and Lin Shiyou were revealed...
All the guests had long forgotten the minor incident of the bride change.
Instead, they were overwhelmed by the high standards of this engagement banquet!
These people... were actually attending Li Menghao's wedding?
And their attitudes were incredibly cordial?
What a joke!
It was akin to your everyday neighbors suddenly inviting Ma Baonan, Zhu Wang, and Nai Cha Dong to their wedding.
Wouldn't you be surprised? Wouldn't you be astonished?
Compared to this, the small matter of changing the bride was truly insignificant.
Of course, while the Li family relatives were stunned, Wang Hui's relatives could barely believe their eyes.
They were just relaxing at home when a fleet of supercars roared to a stop downstairs.
Their daughter came out of a car and told them.
"Mom, I'm getting engaged. Want to come with me?"
If it were you, wouldn't you be bewildered?
However, bewilderment aside, Wang Hui's family members were pragmatic.
With such a grand display, their daughter's future life was secured.
They had heard that the groom had an exceptionally capable brother-in-law.
Coupled with their daughter's deep affection for him,
Considering all these factors, could there be any reason to refuse?
The engagement banquet continued with great fanfare for the entire day.
With the blessings of the relatives and friends from both the Li and Wang families, Li Menghao and Wang Hui completed their engagement ceremony.
As the festivities wound down, the guests departed.
Outside Tianxiang Mansion.
Li Menghao and Wang Hui, the newlyweds, bid farewell to all the guests.
In the end, only the young couple, Ye Yun's family of three, Wu Lan and her husband, and Li Menghan remained.
"Thank you!" Looking at Ye Yun, Li Menghao's gaze was complex.
"What did you call me?" Ye Yun's voice held a hint of playfulness.
"Sis... brother-in-law." Li Menghao said with a hint of awkwardness.
When there were many people around during the day, Li Menghao could manage to say it once or twice.
But now, in the evening, with family present, and everyone understanding the situation, how could he not feel awkward?
After all, if outsiders were so astonished, how could he, as the central figure, be any less shaken?
In the past, he had wished he could beat Ye Yun to death, but today, Ye Yun's actions had truly moved him.
Now, calling Ye Yun brother-in-law, though willing, felt strangely out of place.
More importantly, Li Menghao did not want anyone to think he was calling Ye Yun brother-in-law simply because Ye Yun had become successful.
Wouldn't that make him seem like someone who curried favor?
However, Wu Lan and her husband thought differently.
Seeing Li Menghao's hesitant demeanor, Wu Lan immediately became anxious.
"My good son-in-law, Menghao is shy by nature, you know this. But I'm not shy! Son-in-law, my dear son-in-law, thank you so much today!" Wu Lan's face beamed like a chrysanthemum.
Even though throughout the day, Ye Yun's family of three, apart from Ke Ke saying a few unpleasant words to her,
Neither Ye Yun nor Li Mengyao showed any reaction to Wu Lan and her husband's excessive enthusiasm, treating it with indifference.
However, the relatives and friends present had indeed looked down on them quite a bit.
But even so, the couple didn't feel embarrassed and instead treated Ye Yun's family with even greater warmth.
Let them despise us.
You're just jealous!
Once I latch onto my good son-in-law's influence, all of you will come begging me!
"Hmph."
Before Ye Yun's family could speak, Li Menghan let out a cold snort.
She shot a cold glance at her materialistic parents.
Her parents' actions truly chilled her to the bone.
In the morning, her parents had been so eager to kick Ye Yun's family out, and by night, they were practically licking their shoes.
Such a drastic change in attitude required an extraordinary thickness of skin!
Even the usually gentle Li Mengyao now felt nauseous at her parents' behavior.
The disparity between their past and present actions was simply outrageous!
The only normal person present was perhaps Li Menghao's "fiancée," Wang Hui.
She had some understanding of the Li Menghao family's situation previously, and seeing this, she smiled gently.
"We've troubled sister and brother-in-law so much today. Meng Hao and I will host a proper banquet for sister and brother-in-law another day," Wang Hui said gracefully, pinching Li Menghao's arm.
How could she not understand that by latching onto such a powerful connection, anyone with a brain would have a boundless future?
"Good! Good! My little aunt's fiancée is truly sensible." Ye Yun smiled slightly, causing Wang Hui's cheeks to flush.
"Alright, alright." Seeing Li Menghao still looking embarrassed, Ye Yun patted his shoulder and said, "There's still a long way to go, it's normal if you can't accept it right away."
"But you did the right thing today. Wang Hui is a hundred times better than that person named Wu Qian. Treat her well in the future. This young lady has sacrificed a lot for you today. Remember, don't act so impulsively in the future. You're not young anymore, it's time to get married, stop acting like a child."
"Don't worry about the money. Your sister will help you. If you make your sister worry again, I'll take action myself!"
"Brother-in-law... I..." Li Menghao wanted to say something but stopped.
"That's enough, we're family, there's no need for thanks. Ke Ke is asleep, let's head back..."
However, before Ye Yun could finish speaking, the sound of police sirens echoed from a distance...
