Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 345:
Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Zhongdu Sensation
These past couple of days, Zhongdu has been completely overtaken by one topic.
On every street and in every alley, people are talking about it.
“Hey, have you heard? Patriarch Chen’s dowry for An Yan filled over a dozen large trucks!” someone said.
“Heh, you’ve only heard, but I saw it with my own eyes!” another person scoffed.
“Oh? Really? Then tell us, what did they send?”
The crowd around them swelled.
“Yeah! Do tell!”
“I heard there’s an endless number of fancy goodies inside! Just the gold jewelry alone weighs over a hundred jin!”
“Gold? Heh! That’s the least valuable thing they sent!”
Seeing himself surrounded by so many people, the guy was very pleased with himself and purposely spoke up loudly.
This comment stirred up a buzz among those nearby.
“Gold isn’t valuable? Then what counts as valuable?” Some people were a bit incredulous.
“That’s why you’re all just commoners, with no way to imagine what life is like for the truly wealthy! Today, I’ll enlighten you!”
The man garnered everyone’s attention, then whispered, “Have you ever seen blood coral over three meters tall?”
The crowd shook their heads.
“I saw it that day; that thing is a real rare treasure!”
“Ever seen pearls the size of a child’s fist? I saw dozens of them that day.”
“Ever seen a limited-edition global sports car?”
“That we have!” the crowd nodded.
“Heh, the family sent seven of those.”
“Why seven?” someone asked.
“Obviously, because the seven cars all come in different colors. They sent them for her to drive a different color for each day of the week!”
“Oh!” The crowd finally caught on.
“Those still aren’t the most valuable things!”
“Those aren’t valuable enough?”
“Heh! It’s like I said, poverty limits your imagination.” The man gestured with his hands as he spoke.
“What are you miming there?” someone curiously asked.
“Ever seen a wooden box this big? Made of Zitan wood?”
“What’s so special about that? A wealthy friend of mine has one at his place!” someone found a chance to boast and quickly piped up.
“The key isn’t the box!”
“Then what is it?” the crowd pressed.
At this point, the man wore a look of serene longing and said dreamily, “That was the most valuable gift I’ve ever seen. Packed inside, stacked dense and thick, were all property deeds!”
Boom!
The crowd, which hadn’t been shocked by the three-meter tall blood coral or pearls as big as fists, was now absolutely in an uproar.
“Did you see it clearly?”
“Of course, I saw it clearly. Patriarch Chen himself opened it up for everyone to take a look, and guess what those properties were?”
“Where?”
“The third ring road!”
The crowd exchanged glances, some faces full of disbelief.
“Keep dreaming, as if there are that many houses by the third ring! The way you gestured, that would be at least a thousand units!”
“Right, my family lives in the third ring, and properties there are practically priceless!”
The man sneered all the while, waiting for everyone to finish speaking before he coolly continued, “I knew there’d be doubters. Some people asked Patriarch Chen the same thing at the time. Guess what he said.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“Patriarch Chen said it’s a new residential complex that’s just been built, and the property deeds for all the houses are in there!”
This statement dumbfounded everyone.
They had heard of giving a house as a gift, but never an entire complex.
“Alright, I’m also idle, why am I even telling you this, I’ve got to hurry along now!” said the gentleman.
“Brother, where are you hurrying off to?”
“Obviously, to the An Family to see the hustle and bustle.”
“Wasn’t it announced that the official wedding is a few days away? What’s there to see now?” someone asked, puzzled.
“Heh, such a bunch of small-timers! Do you know who’s currently helping out at the An Family?”
“Who?”
“Pretty much everyone of any status and renown in Zhongdu is there. Not to mention anyone else, do you all know Wei Ruyan, the master horticulturist, right?”
“Of course, I love her garden creations the most!”
“She’s at the An Family right now, and she’s turned it into an ocean of flowers! That alone is worth squatting there for a day to take in the excitement!”
After saying this, the man turned and left.
The others looked at each other, then all had a spark of inspiration.
“Let’s go, let’s have a look!”
As the rumors outside suggested,
The An Family had become an ocean of flowers.
Wei Ruyan had brought out all her skills, the various exotic flowers vying for attention, making the entire An Family exceptionally beautiful.
Not just her, practically everyone with a bit of capability in Zhongdu was there.
Even someone sweeping the floor might be the general manager of some company.
Zhao Xuehui, Yang Bin, and Qiao Le were not leaving the An Family’s side, keeping incredibly busy every day.
Like right now, the trio was bringing over a step stool, hanging lanterns in front of a room door.
All three of them now had fortunes exceeding hundreds of millions, but they were bustling about just like before, without any airs of a tycoon.
The entire An Family had basically become a huge construction site, filled with bustling crowds.
And the festive atmosphere was becoming more intense in all this busyness.
As for An Yan, the absolute leading lady, she remained in a state of utter confusion throughout.
In her mind, she had simply planned to follow An Qing back to Zhongdu, then do some simple decorating and quietly wait for Xue An to come for her.
But she hadn’t expected the preparations to be on such a grand scale.
It was so grand that it left her somewhat dazed.
Noticing the bewilderment in An Yan’s heart, An Qing said with a beaming smile.
“Sis, this must all be your fiancé’s doing!”
“Ah, I’ve told him so many times already, I really don’t care about these things! As long as we can be together, why bother with all these superfluous things,” An Yan said.
Shaking her head, An Qing chuckled softly, “Actually, I understand and agree with your fiancé’s approach. You two, from the moment you met and fell in love, to having Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, it has been quite a journey! Now, your fiancé may not rule the world, but he’s made something of himself, and of course, he wants to make up for the past!”
At this point, a faint envy flashed in An Qing’s eyes.
“The magnitude of what he’s doing, it’s probably to declare to the whole world that you’re his woman.”
Listening to her sister’s comforting words, An Yan nodded, feeling her happiness almost overflow.
At that moment, the room door opened.
A group of elegantly dressed women entered.
“Miss An, we’ve been sent by Patriarch Chen, responsible for your entire wedding look, including makeup and attire.”
“Hmm?” An Yan was a bit lost.
“They say Miss An brought a full set of bridal attire and gowns from Beijiang; can you change into them now so we can take a look?” the oldest and most elegant among the women, whose hair was touched with gray, said indifferently.
