Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3149: Chapter 3085: A Bit Too Ostentatious

”How could that be?” Jiang Xiao immediately broke into a sweat, ”Of course I’m going to give you and Grandma Cui the invitation, but haven’t we still not decided on the banquet venue yet?”

Jiang Xiao spoke these words with some guilt.

In fact, her original plan was to hold the banquet at home, where she might not invite the Alliance Officials couple, because their status was too...

She felt it would be rather ostentatious.

Moreover, she was inviting mostly family and friends, wanting a lively yet casual atmosphere. If she invited the Alliance Officials, others might feel completely restricted, just like Chiang Songhai and Ge Dejun did earlier.

But now they’ve decided to host the banquet at Zhongming Hall, so of course she would invite the Alliance Officials.

”What do you mean by that?”

Commander Cui frowned.

It’s almost time for the wedding, and the banquet venue is still not decided?

Jiang Xiao glanced at Cui Zhenyan.

This situation had to be addressed anyway.

”Originally, I planned to simply set up a few tables here, keeping it simple and casual, but the elders at home felt it would be better to make it more ceremonious, so we’re planning to apply for Zhongming Hall as the banquet venue. What does Grandpa Cui think?”

Pfft, she finally said it.

Cui Zhenyan wanted to rub his head.

But he also knew that this matter had to be brought up sooner or later, and Jiang Xiao bringing it up now was better than letting Commander Cui find out later, which would be trickier.

He was leaning towards Jiang Xiao at the moment, so under these circumstances, he couldn’t help but despise Lu Zhenggang even more.

This move was truly shameless.

Li Hanzhong and the Jiang Family are no pushovers; how could they possibly accept defeat so easily?

They’ve never been the type to take a beating without fighting back.

Although the Old Master Jiang of the D State Jiang Family has been more cautious in recent years due to his age, he was quite a shrewd businessman in his younger days.

When Jiang Xiao reported her wedding date, Cui Zhenyan had already figured it all out.

Commander Cui furrowed his brows at the mention of applying for Zhongming Hall.

When he makes such an expression, it usually feels very pressuring, even his son Cui Zhenyan gets slightly uneasy seeing it.

But Jiang Xiao looked straight at Commander Cui with an attitude of waiting for his response, not showing any fear or anxiety at all.

Cui Zhenyan truly admired this girl’s courage.

”Zhongming Hall...” Commander Cui finally spoke, his tone serious, ”It’s not open casually.”

Hmm, that’s indeed the case.

However, because Zhongming Hall traditionally has hosted royal weddings, it’s actually quite normal for it to serve as a banquet hall for such joyous occasions a few times over the years; it’s not impossible.

Jiang Xiao nodded, ”Yes, I’m aware.”

Cui Zhenyan also wanted to hear what she had to say, because persuading his father wouldn’t be easy. If this matter displeases Commander Cui, then she wouldn’t stand a chance.

If Commander Cui opposed, Li Hanzhong wouldn’t be able to enforce a command forcefully.

Just as he thought Jiang Xiao would use some serious reasons to persuade Commander Cui, Jiang Xiao pursed her lips and said with a mix of righteousness and annoyance: ”Because the young lady from the Long Family is going to marry the Young Master Lu, and they are applying for Zhongming Hall as the banquet venue.”

Commander Cui: ”...”

Cui Zhenyan: ”...”

So, what does this mean?

”Wait a minute,” Commander Cui was a bit dumbfounded, ”What do you mean by this?”

”Let me put it this way,” Jiang Xiao looked prepared to speak ill of someone, ”The Long Family, you know them, right?”
