Chapter 241: Are You Guys Here For The Wedding Too?

"What’s going on?" Li Xiaofei saw that Fang Buyi and the others had already arrived and stepped forward to ask.

"It’s the Du family’s people. They gathered early this morning," Fang Buyi replied with a serious expression. "They claim they’re here to maintain order, but their intentions don’t seem good. It looks like they’re planning to cause trouble at the wedding."

"Old Bai is in trouble today."

"Damn it, the Du family is really shameless, clinging on like this."

"Old Li, what do you think we should do? Should we call the police?"

Ren Dong, Liu Xiao, and the others were all getting anxious. The Du family was one of the five major families in Liuhe Base City. Although they were not as powerful as the Ye family, they were still a giant that ordinary people couldn’t afford to provoke. In this city, nothing would get in the way of whatever the Du family wanted to do except the actions of the Ye family.

Li Xiaofei stood on the steps of the hotel, scanning the area. In the distant crowd, Du Hongfei sensed Li Xiaofei's gaze and shrugged provocatively.

Li Xiaofei looked at his classmates and said, "Don’t worry. You guys go help Old Bai greet the guests. Leave everything else to me. Old Bai is my brother. If anyone dares to cause trouble at this wedding, I’ll make them regret ever coming into this world."

His team members felt much more at ease. After all, not only was Li Xiaofei incredibly powerful, but he was also now one of the most prominent figures in the gang world. After the Cloudy Sky Gang took over the Dragon Claw Gang and Iron Palm Ltd, they had risen from a small gang confined to the slums to a true powerhouse that all other gangs and societies had to look up to.

Yan Chiyu stood quietly to the side, watching Li Xiaofei with a gentle expression on her face. She had never initiated a conversation with Li Xiaofei. There was very little communication between the two of them. From initially rejecting him because of his background to now completely abandoning the prejudice in her heart, she had personally witnessed the changes Li Xiaofei had brought to the slums. Like the other team members, she had chosen to trust the young man.

"Hey, captain, stop daydreaming and go get ready. You’re the bridesmaid today," Fang Buyi called out loudly from the side.

Yan Chiyu turned and entered the dining hall.

Ren Dong, the energetic little loli, excitedly rubbed her hands together and said, "Hehe, I heard that it’s also fun to tease the bridesmaids during the wedding. In this joyous atmosphere, playing a few harmless pranks shouldn’t make the captain angry, right?"

The others' eyes lit up, and they instinctively looked at Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei nodded confidently, "Tease, definitely tease."

At that moment...

"I’m coming too! Hehe, I’m also Sister Miao’s bridesmaid today," Tan Qingying cheerfully followed after them.

An occasion like today was both fresh and exciting for the young lady. Everyone glanced at Li Xiaofei again.

Li Xiaofei had a carefully blank expression on his face. "I’ll break the legs of whoever dares to tease the bridesmaids."

Everyone went speechless.

You’re really a hypocrite.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around Qingya Pavilion. At first, it was a uniform crowd of burly men in black suits and ties who were all wearing sunglasses. They arrived silently, neither forcing their way in nor causing trouble. They simply stood a hundred meters away, surrounding the restaurant so tightly that not even water could pass through.

It was obvious at first glance that they were people from the Du family. Their presence created an oppressive and menacing atmosphere, suffocating the festive mood of the wedding.

Later, members of different gangs, dressed in various uniforms, began to show up as well. These gang members laughed and joked as they stood around. They were clearly there just to watch the drama unfold. One group after another gathered around the Qingya Pavilion restaurant. The scene was truly intimidating.

Some of the guests invited by Miao Youwei to the wedding took one look from afar, turned pale with fear, and didn’t dare to enter the restaurant. They hurried away without even saying hello. Those who were on better terms with the couple forced themselves to walk in but didn’t dare to stay long. After handing the couple a gift and saying a few words of congratulations, they quickly found an excuse to leave.

Very few people actually stayed to wait for the wedding to begin. This made the wedding venue inside the restaurant feel rather deserted.

"Old Bai sure didn’t invite many people. It’s hard to keep the atmosphere going with the Du family pulling this stunt," Fang Buyi remarked, clicking his tongue in disappointment as he looked at the growing crowd around the restaurant.

The Du family was truly disgusting. They were obviously here just to ruin things. Everyone was furious.

"Leave it to me. They really think they can outnumber us? It’s not like we don’t have friends..."

Li Xiaofei pulled out his portable light core and made several calls.

Then he complained to the other brothers, "Old Bai, really. Sister Miao is marrying him with her daughter, and he still wants to keep things low-key? For someone who always prides himself on being a love guru, he’s really dropping the ball at this crucial moment. Just wait until the wedding night—let’s give him a real surprise."

Fang Buyi, Liu Xiao, Zhuge Long, and the others immediately caught on and started laughing mischievously.

Inside the restaurant, the two bridesmaids, Yan Chiyu and Tan Qingying, had changed into their dresses and were getting their makeup done in the dressing room. Meanwhile, the bride, Miao Youwei, was all set, dressed in a traditional bright red wedding gown of the Great Xia, a happy smile on her face. Little Du Juan was dressed in a small Chinese-style formal dress.

"Mama, there aren’t many people downstairs." The little girl raised her rosy face, her big, bright eyes filled with undeniable disappointment. "I invited over ten friends, but none of them came."

Miao Youwei gently stroked her daughter’s hair and smiled, "The wedding is for Daddy, Mommy, and you, Little Du Juan. It doesn’t matter whether they come or not. Maybe they got caught up in something very important."

"But I told them about it a long time ago," Little Du Juan replied, still feeling aggrieved.

"Sometimes important things come up unexpectedly," Miao Youwei comforted her daughter.

She knew very well that there would be obstacles and attempts to sabotage the wedding today. But she was prepared for that. No matter what happened, she was determined to get married. It wasn’t just about giving her daughter a home; it was also about making a promise to Bai Longfei. People who love each other should be together. No matter what the cost, she was willing to pay it.

Little Du Juan only half understood what her mother was saying. She pitter-pattered down to the hall and stood at the corner of the staircase, eyes full of hope. But when she saw the empty hall, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

At just five years old, she was still too young to grasp the complexities of the adult world. All she wanted was for her mom and papa Bai’s wedding to be blessed by everyone. She had been quietly preparing for this wedding for a long time. She had even watched many wedding ceremonies on the light-network to get ideas. Those were always so lively, full of joy and celebration.

Little Du Juan hoped that her parents’ wedding would be just as joyful as the happy videos she had seen on the light-network. So, in the past few days, she had sent out invitations to her playmates, friends, and some of the aunts and uncles she knew, sincerely hoping they would come. But... despite all her efforts, she still couldn’t help her parents.

"Why is no one coming?" Little Du Juan stood at the corner, sighing in disappointment.

She stopped expecting and began to focus on preparing a little dance. This was her wedding gift for her mom and papa Bai. She had been secretly practicing it for a long time. But there were still a few parts she hadn’t quite mastered.

Just as the little girl was stumbling through her dance practice, suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from outside the restaurant.

Is someone coming?

A look of eager anticipation spread across her chubby little face. She stopped dancing and looked toward the door. She saw a large group of people surging in like a tide from outside.

Are they here to bless papa and mama? Wonderful!

She laughed joyfully and ran forward to greet them.
