Chapter 606 - Lu Jingye Came To Fetch the Bride and Got Blocked

Dou Yue’er’s bootlicking was rather useful towards Zi Yi. She took her phone and quickly operated it. Sometime later, the phones of her six bridesmaids sounded. The prompt of money entering their accounts could be heard.

[99 thousand dollars received]

“Yay! Cousin, you’re the best! But why is it 99 thousand?”

“It’s a blessing for our marriage to last for a long time1. When Ah Jing arrives, he’ll give you 100 thousand which serves as a symbol of perfection [2. Similarly, the word here is Shi Quan Shi Mei, where Shi is of similar-sounding to Ten].

“Really? Yay! I’m rich!”

While everyone was distracted, Zi Yi lowered her eyes and intended to continue playing with her phone.

Dou Xiangling’s heart tightened as she quickly thought of how she was going to take Zi Yi’s phone.

However, Zi Yi handed out her phone just then. “What Xiangling said is right, there’s no place for me to keep my phone and it’s better that you help me look after my phone.”

Dou Xiangling was somehow a little afraid to approach her and take the phone.

She pushed Dou Yue’er out. “Yue’er, go and take Zi Yi’s phone.”

Dou Yue’er went over to Zi Yi without the slightest suspicions and took her phone.

Zi Yi looked up at Dou Xiangling.

Dou Xiangling pretended to look towards the door excitedly together with the rest of the bridal party and waited for the groom to come to fetch the bride.

Zi Yi pursed her lips.

Soon, sounds of drums and firecrackers could be heard from outside the door.

“They’re here! They’re here!”

Everyone was excited.

Outside the door the atmosphere was bustling with activity.

Just then, Dou Zerui’s reminder came from the door. “Those who are inside, don’t be in a rush to open the door. Ask for red packets first. Little Lu began to distribute red packets the moment he stepped into the neighborhood.”

“Wow! Cousin-in-law is so generous!”

Everyone had the brightest smiles on their faces. Zi Yi revealed a smile too. She wanted to sneak a peek at the door, but her Aunts had stopped her. “Little Zi, stay here and don’t move.”

Zi Yi could only remain standing on the spot.

A few minutes later, the situation outside the door became even livelier.

Voices of congratulations and jokes, while asking for red packets, could be heard.

Dou Yue’er along with the young ladies standing near the door were so excited that they screamed while jumping around.

“Cousin-in-law is coming, oh my! He is distributing red packets in the yard… Hehe, the guys have stopped him to drink… Wow! The groomsmen he brought along with him are drinking on his behalf!”

“Cousin-in-law is so handsome! He’s even more handsome than the celebrity I stan the most!”

“Those groomsmen he brought along with him are also very handsome!”

Several younger bridesmaids and Dou Yue’er started acting like starstruck girls.

A few madams looked at them and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Cousin-in-law is so fierce! He drank nine glasses of alcohol in one go!”

A few of the madams made eye contact.

The First Madam said with a worried tone, “Whose bad idea is this? If Little Lu drinks so much, what if he’s drunk later?”

The Second Madam was also worried. “I thought Little Lu had brought along quite a number of groomsmen? Why doesn’t he get them to drink on his behalf?”

Dou Yurui turned around and told them. “Don’t listen to Yue’er’s nonsense. Cousin-in-law is drinking plain water.”

Dou Xiangling added. “He’s taking a test and he would get to drink water if he gets the question correct. He’ll only drink alcohol if he answers wrongly. He answered all the questions correctly.”

Those who stayed in this neighborhood were all educated individuals and the Dou Family was a family of intellectuals. The method by which they made things difficult for Lu Jingye was sure to be different from others.

Zi Yi’s male cousins were also rather relentless. All the questions they asked were knowledge that the three of them specialized in.

They thought that they could stump Lu Jingye but who would expect that the other party was also a god-like figure in his studies.

Zi Yi managed to guess the situation outside even without having to see it with her own eyes.

She said, “Don’t belittle Ah Jing.”

The few madams looked at Zi Yi who had a proud expression and they could not help but laugh.

A few minutes later, knocking sounds could be heard at the door.

“Ahhhh! Cousin-in-law has cleared all the stages. Quick, how should we make things difficult for him!”

Zi Yi looked at Dou Yue’er who started jumping around and she wondered if she had gone crazy.

Another young lady suggested. “Why don’t we get cousin-in-law to do a dance? He’s so handsome and I bet that his dancing would certainly be nice to watch.”

A few ladies immediately nodded like chickens pecking rice.

Dou Yue’er shouted at the door, “If cousin-in-law wishes to come in, you must dance for us.”

The First Madam said to them, “Don’t go overboard. What if Little Lu can’t dance?”

Dou Yurui looked through the gap and said, “Eldest Aunt, cousin-in-law is from an aristocratic family and how is it possible that he doesn’t know how to dance?”

As soon as Dou Yurui said that, cheering sounds could be heard from outside.

Dou Yurui said with a smile, “See, he’s dancing now… Ahhh! Don’t block the door, let me have a look too.”

“Stop squeezing me, I can’t see!”

“Wow! He’s so handsome!”

“As expected of the Second Young Master from the Lu Family. He’s basically proficient in everything.”

All of them crowded at the door to see Lu Jingye’s dance and the door opened wider and wider as each second passed.

The Third Madam standing next to Zi Yi laughed and said, “These girls are too young, I guess the door will be pushed through soon.”

BAM!

As soon as the Third Madam said that, sure enough, the door was pushed in by the group of groomsmen.

They filled in the gap and forced the six bridesmaids to retreat.

The girls made eye contact with each other and they were still in disbelief that the door had been pushed in just like that.

The groomsmen revealed a smug smile at their achievement.

Shortly afterwards, they made space, and Lu Jingye, who was dressed in a groom’s suit which was of the same color scheme as Zi Yi’s, walked in with a straight posture and grand appearance.

When everyone saw Zi Yi standing there, all of them released a sigh, as if trying to express how beautiful she was.

Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi who was dressed in her bridal clothes while waiting for him. His eyes slightly darkened and he was about to make his way over.

The bridesmaids finally recovered their senses and blocked the couple.

The eldest, Dou Yurui said, “Cousin-in-law, do you think you can take our cousin away so easily like this?”

Lu Jingye was rather tall and the tallest bridesmaid only reached his shoulders, all the others were below his shoulder height. His eyes stared at Zi Yi as he said, “Give them the red packets.”

As soon as his words were spoken, a few groomsmen walked over and handed out a red packet to each lady.

They touched the red packets and Dou Yue’er was the first to complain. “Why is it so thin? Moreover, it feels like there are only two cards inside? Cousin-in-law, don’t tell me you are fooling us again?”

Dou Yue’er and Dou Xiangling made eye contact and opened the red packets at the same time. When they saw a bank card without a password and a VIP card for the Song Jewelry, both of them laughed.

“Cousin-in-law is really generous.”

The several other bridesmaids had subconsciously opened their red packets. The contents were the same.

Lu Jingye had used money to bribe the six bridesmaids and they had made way for him very willingly.

Lu Jingye walked over to Zi Yi and he first greeted the madams. “Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt.”

“Yes~”

The few madams happily responded to his greeting.

Just then, Dou Jingning’s reminder sounded from outside. “Let’s go, we can head over to the living room.”

Everyone left the room and headed to the living room.

There were many highly respected elders gathered in the living room. In particular, Elder Dou, who was wearing a wine red, festive Tang suit. His appearance today can basically be described in two words, radiant and full of smiles.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye walked over to Elder Dou and knelt down at the same time.

“Grandpa.”
