Chapter 963: Wedding Gift Money
Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Wedding Gift Money
After finishing a bowl of chicken noodle soup, Tang Yue felt warm all over and her stomach was full. The meals in the convoy were cooked in large pots; she ate enough at the time, but now she was just hungry again.
"Xiao Yue, a family of three came today, Zhu Jiaojiao, bringing a lot of things, saying they came to apologize to you." Mo Xiaolin recounted today’s events involving Zhu Jiaojiao.
Tang Yue asked in disbelief, "Mom, you mean they specifically came to apologize?"
"Yes." Mo Xiaolin confirmed, "They brought quite a few gifts, but you weren’t home, and I thought it wasn’t appropriate to accept them, so I didn’t let them in."
"What did they do?" Mo Xiaolin asked.
Tang Yue briefly explained the situation and then talked about the previous incident involving Jin Yan at the banquet. She speculated, "It should be Xiao Yang who did something to the Zhu family; everyone wanted to please the Lian Family, so they cut off business ties with the Zhu family."
"The Zhu family probably wants to apologize because of this." Tang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Mom, if they come again, just tell them there’s no need to apologize, and we won’t accept anything."
"No, I have to call Xiao Yang." Tang Yue got up to make a phone call to Lian Qingyang.
"Sis, don’t worry about the Zhu family." As soon as Lian Qingyang heard the Zhu family dared to come around, he was even more displeased and said, "Sis, rest assured, they won’t come tomorrow."
Tang Yue wanted to say something more, but Lian Qingyang seemed very busy over there and hung up quickly.
"Wife, don’t bother about the Zhu family; those clothes you make with your hands, they’re not qualified to wear them." Meng Siyu had a very low opinion of the Zhu family.
If they dared to disdain the clothes his wife made, they shouldn’t wear her clothes for a lifetime.
Lian Qingyang handled it well, knowing how to protect his sister; that’s commendable.
"Pfft~"
Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh, "Si Yu, do you think my hands are golden? And they’re not qualified to wear them?"
"Your hands are more precious than golden ones." Meng Siyu held her hand; her hands were beautiful, slender fingers, fair and jade-like, as if carved by an artist. Every time he held them, he felt a deep sense of happiness.
He was always careful, afraid of accidentally hurting her delicate hands. The contrast between his rough hands and Tang Yue’s tender hands was striking.
Meng Siyu looked at her hands, his eyes filled with admiration, a doting smile on his lips, and their gaze locked, making Tang Yue forget they were in the living room.
Mo Xiaolin cleared her throat.
Tang Yue quickly snapped back to reality, a shy blush on her face.
Meng Siyu, being thick-skinned, said, "Mom, this is when you should take Zaozao and Chenchen back to the room to sleep."
"I’m going to sleep." Mo Xiaolin glanced at him, warning, "Xiao Yue is usually very busy with work; don’t bully Xiao Yue."
Meng Siyu: "..."
Could he not be their biological son?
Other moms want their sons and daughters-in-law to be loving, or the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to bicker.
Mo Xiaolin?
Worried that Tang Yue would be too tired, still telling him not to bully Xiao Yue.
They’re married, if he doesn’t bully Xiao Yue, who would he bully? It’s impossible to get married and live like a monk.
Meng Siyu was greatly aggrieved.
"Hahaha~"
Once Mo Xiaolin went back to her room, Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh, happily holding the child as she went back too. She was truly lucky to have such a wonderful mother-in-law.

The next day, the hotel was bustling with activity.
Tang Yue brought the children, Mo Xiaolin also came along, as everyone was busy today, and she was worried Tang Yue couldn’t manage alone.
But upon arriving at the hotel, Mo Xiaolin realized she overthought; Zaozao and Chenchen were highly popular, everyone wanted to hold them. Except when the kids were hungry, they couldn’t be found at other times.
Anyway, since this was a hotel, also owned by the Lian Family, there was no worry about the kids getting lost or anything.
Tang Yue couldn’t do much, but she knew how to decorate the bridal chamber.
Li Wei and Yan Dong hadn’t bought a house yet, so for this wedding, Meng Siyu decided to half-gift and half-lend them two houses near the company, which were adjacent. Zhao Xiang, upon seeing this, insisted he wanted to get married too and live together, turning two houses into three.
It’s not far from the company, just a twenty-minute walk away.
The houses weren’t big, with two bedrooms and one living room. The rooms were decorated with bright red wedding quilts, ribbons, and happiness symbols, and Tang Yue brought many red balloons. She skillfully tied them together, making everything look festive.
"Xiao Yue, how much did you give as a wedding gift?" Jiang Lan secretly asked Tang Yue.
Tang Yue didn’t answer but asked instead, "How about you, how much did you give?"
"Twenty." Jiang Lan said a little embarrassed, "There are quite a few people at the company getting married, and everyone is giving this amount."
"Gift money, no matter how much, is still a gesture." Tang Yue smiled softly; her official gift was a hundred.
But actually, Tang Yue gave quite a lot.
She also sent practical gifts, like the wedding dresses the two brides were wearing today, which she designed and made herself.
Since the date was set a bit tight, luckily, she had made several dresses beforehand, and though they were sample dresses, the quality was excellent.
Yesterday morning, Xu Huan and Xu Le had already tried on the dresses, which fit perfectly.
After Jiang Lan got her answer, she smiled and changed the topic.
The wedding banquet was held in the evening; the hotel was beautifully decorated. Li Wei and the others were especially grateful to Tang Yue; without her, they wouldn’t be able to get married in such a nice place.
The venue was free; as Lian Qingyang put it, it was considered part of the wedding gift, and the banquet was at cost, so Li Wei and the others wouldn’t feel uncomfortable about it.
Li Wei and Yan Dong’s families had arranged the site well in advance; it wasn’t very luxurious, but it was festive.
Li Wei and Yan Dong were dressed in suits, standing tall and handsome, while Xu Huan and Xu Le were in red dresses, similar to traditional Xiuhe clothing but simpler, bright and festive in color, making Xu Huan and Xu Le look like blooming flowers.
In the crowd, many people were talking about Xu Huan and Xu Le’s dresses, curious about their origins.
Tang Yue had reminded Xu Huan and Xu Le when she sent the dresses, and wasn’t worried they’d reveal the source, otherwise, there were still many employees at the company, even those under Meng Siyu’s supervision; she couldn’t gift all of them wedding dresses when they got married.
After the solemn vows, the banquet began, with Zaozao and Chenchen securely settled by Mo Xiaolin. Tang Yue only needed to follow her sisters-in-law and enjoy the banquet.
Except for Jiang Beini being a bit odd, Tang Yue was quite happy; on this day, Meng Siyu was especially joyful, talking excitedly at home about how his good brothers had found a home.
