Chapter 1208 - 1166: Don't Miss the Auspicious Hour
In the evening, the An Family hosted a "Bridal Send-off Banquet" at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, inviting the bride's relatives and friends.The An Family's send-off banquet was quite large in scale, with adults and children taking up eleven tables.
As the banquet began, An Kexin unexpectedly saw Du Feixue rushing in.
After a warm hug, An Kexin said with a bit of emotion, "Aren't you busy filming a movie? How come you found time to rush over? Aren't you worried something might go wrong? That's an investment of over a billion!"
Du Feixue didn't rush to respond. She first looked An Kexin up and down and nodded, saying, "You look pretty good!"
She explained, "As your best friend, not attending your and Lin Jie's wedding feels very wrong to me."
"Besides, the movie has been filming for more than two months, everything is pretty much on track now, I don't need to be watching over it all the time. Once I arranged my work, I rushed over."
"Kexin, is there still room for a bridesmaid?"
An Kexin chuckled lightly and said, "The six bridesmaids have been confirmed—Kemeng, Manqing, Ling Mengjiao, plus three cousins."
"Fei Xue, you can attend the wedding as my best friend."
"You seem exhausted, traveling around like this, work must be really hard. Being a bridesmaid is also quite tiring, so tomorrow just watch me get married and enjoy the food and drink."
Du Feixue also didn't dwell on the bridesmaid issue and said, "After the banquet, for better energy tomorrow, do you have a SPA arranged?"
"How about we do it together?"
An Kexin nodded and said, "It's already arranged, so at that time we'll add you, me, and a few bridesmaids to have a nice SPA together..."
Du Feixue went to freshen up in the restroom, and when she returned, she found An Weize had finished speaking and the banquet had officially begun.
She sat in the temporarily added seat next to An Kexin, ate for a bit to fill her stomach, then eagerly asked, "Kexin, what is the main wedding car? What about the fleet?"
"Also, how much betrothal gift will Lin Jie provide tomorrow?"
An Kexin replied softly, "The main wedding car is the new ride that Ajie bought, a Cadillac Presidential One, and the fleet is also matched with Cadillac CT, totaling thirty-six cars."
"As for the betrothal gift tomorrow, it's just a token gesture, 880,000."
Du Feixue just shook her head and said, "Kexin, I'm not talking about the betrothal gift, but the fleet is just too low-end, right?"
"Given Lin Jie's current wealth and status, even if he doesn't make a supercar fleet in the ten-million level, he should at least opt for a Rolls Royce Phantom or Bentley Mulsanne class, right?"
An Kexin sighed and humorously said, "Look at me, I'm an old maid now. It's good enough that Lin Jie is willing to marry me, I can't ask for too high conditions."
Du Feixue rolled her eyes at her and snorted, "But you're quite pleased inside, right?"
"Honestly, if I were marrying Lin Jie, I'd be delighted even if it's a bicycle instead of a Cadillac."
"But seriously, sometimes Lin Jie appears generous, donating billions without hesitation, but still often shows his stingy and frugal side."
"For example, this time he wasn't even willing to hire a million-level fleet, which doesn't cost much more."
An Kexin defended, "My Ajie is not stingy, he just doesn't like spending money on unnecessary things. He also knows how to enjoy life, like spending millions to rent a luxury yacht for honeymoon!"
The yacht honeymoon issue, as Kexin's best friend, Du Feixue naturally knows about it.
She said, slightly sour, "Kexin, you'd better ask, was the yacht rental fee really paid by Lin Jie himself, or sponsored by some wealthy person who has a favor to ask from Lin Jie?"
At this time, bridesmaid Ling Mengjiao, sitting nearby, chimed in to explain, "The yacht rental fee was paid from Lin Jie's studio personal account, not from the research funding account."
Du Feixue glanced at Ling Mengjiao but didn't pay her further heed. She continued speaking to An Kexin, "Have you settled on the time for your yacht honeymoon trip?"
"Barring any special circumstances, it'll be two weeks, the longest time we can squeeze out."
"At the shortest..."
An Kexin gave Du Feixue a knowing look and said with helplessness, "You know Ajie's work, if there's an emergency with his patients, he'll definitely have to rush back."
"I'm just hoping that all those patients are fine, and no special situation occurs."
Du Feixue said with some embarrassment, "Kexin, I actually have another request for you this time."
An Kexin casually replied, "What is it? Go ahead and say, given our relationship, I won't refuse with what I can do."
She then added a note of caution, "However, if it involves Ajie, he has his own ideas, and I can't decide for him."
Du Feixue hugged An Kexin's arm and chuckled, "If Lin Jie doesn't listen to you, then it's time for the washboard and durian! In this era, it's women's liberation time; there's no man who isn't afraid of his wife."
Seeing An Kexin's face darken a bit, Du Feixue quickly restrained her smile and got to the point, saying, "It's like this, my aunt's brother was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and I'd like Lin Jie to take a look."
An Kexin frowned slightly and said solemnly, "Fei Xue, because of that incident back then, Ajie's relationship with your... uncle's family has been strained."
"It was only later when your sister and brother-in-law passed away from illness, combined with your efforts, that the relationship softened."
