Melodious music and firecrackers could still be heard outside Haiyuan Restaurant.
Inside the restaurant itself, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng's wedding was going on smoothly.
Besides the little disruption earlier, nothing else out of the ordinary happened.
Once Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng had finished taking their vows, everyone took their seats and the long awaited banquet was ready to start.
"Phew, I'm so glad that everything has gone smoothly so far,” Li Er breathed a long sigh of relief since nothing unforeseen had happened.
After that meeting with Wu Wei-Tao the night before, Li Er had found it difficult to sleep at night and his emotions were very unsettled.
His heart had felt very tense earlier and kept checking the information that his subordinates reported to him from time to time.
But it seemed like he had been worried for nothing.
"It looks like Mr Chu's wedding will turn out fine.” Li Er looked out of the window to see the bright sun in the sky and the beautiful mountains and rivers in the distance.
Everything looked perfectly peaceful.
Just then, Ye Fan's phone rang without anybody noticing.
"Mu-Cheng, I'll go out for a while and come back," said Ye Fan after he peeked at his phone.
He walked out of the restaurant. "Han, it's me. What's happened?"
Han was the one calling, and Ye Fan couldn't help but be a little worried about a phone call at this point in time.
"Young Master, be careful. According to my intel, the Xur family's men will reach Yunzhou very soon. I'm pretty sure they're coming for you," came Han's concerned voice over the phone.
Ye Fan immediately burst out laughing.
"Are they finally here? I've waited so long forthem already," laughed Ye Fan quietly. He didn't sound the least worried or afraid.
After a brief chat, Han hung up the phone.
He had just called to let Ye Fan know so that he could make preparations in advance.
"Hua! Look! It's a little golden figurine! This must be a Maybach, right? I've only seen such luxury cars online before and I never thought I'd actually catch sight of one myself. Mr Chu is amazing alright. One can only see such a luxurious car on his wedding, don't you think so?" exclaimed a woman in delight not too far from the restaurant.
This heavily made up woman was none other than Zhang Wen-Ya, the same woman who insisted on attending Mr Chu's wedding.
They finally managed to pull some strings to get here.
But after hearing what Zhang Wen-Ya said, Yuan Hua's eye twitched unnoticeably. "Wen-Ya, that car isn't a Maybach, it's a Rolls-Royce."
"Oh whatever, they're all the same. You know what I mean," said Zhang Wen-Ya flippantly before running over to the car to have a look. She even took a selfie with the car and posted it on social media.
Yuan Hua didn't know what to say and just laughed bitterly as he shook his head. Some women were just really ignorant like this.
