loss of control!" When Xiao Yu regained his senses, he realized that while in a subconscious state, he had triggered the hidden killing intent within Zhong Kui's memories. He quickly restrained his ow...Chapter 736: Wedding in Progress (Part 1)
"Brother Xiao, congratulations! Congratulations! Where is the wedding taking place I must come to drink your celebratory wine on your wedding day!" After Wang Jun greeted him, Liu Yong also approached and said this to Xiao Yu.
The previous night by West Lake, he had seen with his own eyes how capable Xiao Yu was. The Governor Wu's son could be beaten without any hesitation, which made him very curious about where Xiao Yu’s confidence came from. He realized that it wasn’t because of the backing of Wang Chengzhi and himself as he originally thought; in fact, Xiao Yu never mentioned them at all.
Initially, Wang Jun felt just like Liu Yong that Xiao Yu must have gotten into big trouble, and even planned to help him out. If anything happened to Xiao Yu, it would be his turn to lose face because from an outsider's perspective, Xiao Yu offended the Wu family because he was helping Wang Chengzhi, so if Wang Jun didn’t step in, who else would help him in the future
Therefore, Wang Jun had planned to lend a hand, but before he could do anything, Fang Yulong and Zhang Yin actually showed up. In the end, Xiao Yu was taken to the Public Security Bureau, only for Zhang Yin to send people over upon hearing the news. This made him curious about the relationship between Xiao Yu, Zhang Yin, and Fang Yulong; if it were just a regular relationship, Zhang Yin wouldn’t risk going to the Public Security Bureau to save someone.
Thus, Wang Jun and Liu Yong treated Xiao Yu with great respect. If it was only Zhang Qiuzhan or Guo Liang getting married, they probably wouldn't even inquire about it.
"Oh, hehe, very welcome indeed! Where are you staying, Brother Liu I will send out the invitations to you later! And if Uncle Wang is available, we would be delighted for your presence too!" Upon hearing Liu Yong’s words, Xiao Yu chuckled and responded. Then, turning around, he spoke to Wang Jun.
"Good, I will definitely come if I have time!" After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Wang Jun revealed a smile and replied. Although Xiao Yu was just a doctor, when Fang Yulong and Zhang Yin personally visited his home, it meant that Xiao Yu had gained something that made him worthy of attention.
This wasn’t because Wang Jun only valued profit but rather if Xiao Yu were merely an ordinary person or even a highly skilled doctor, Wang Jun’s actions would have been different. At that time, Xiao Yu was just his son's friend and unrelated to him.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been following behind Wang Jun quickly took out several business cards and handed them over to Xiao Yu and company, saying, "Hello, young masters! I am Huang Ming, the director of Hangzhou’s office in Beijing. If you don't have a place to stay yet, you can come to our hotel! Although it's only a four-star hotel, its environment is pretty good and relatively quiet!"
"Thank you, Director Huang! We will definitely go if we need accommodation," Xiao Yu and the others received the middle-aged man’s business cards with smiles and nodded their heads in gratitude.
"Alright then, have fun and enjoy yourselves! We'll take our leave now!" When Wang Jun saw Xiao Yu and the others accept Huang Ming's business card, he spoke to them.
Xiao Yu nodded upon hearing this. Since Wang Jun had come to Beijing for a reason, they didn't want to waste any more of his time. Besides, they knew where Wang Jun was staying now; they could just have someone deliver the invitation tomorrow.
After Wang Jun and company left, Xiao Yu also drove home.
Wei Jun and the others stood at the entrance of Xiao Yu's quadrangle courtyard, their mouths agape as they stared in astonishment at this expansive quadrangle. After a moment, they snapped out of it and exchanged glances; each could see shock written on the faces of the others.
They were no ordinary people—apart from Wang Chengzhi, who didn't have assets worth hundreds of millions But even if their families had political power comparable to that of the Wang family, they still wouldn't be able to buy such a residence. Even if they managed by some miracle to acquire it, it would likely be short-lived; there were too many eyes on this place, and it was in Beijing.
In Hangzhou, Wang Chengzhi might count as one of the top young masters, but here in Beijing, there were at least eighty such young masters like him. Wei Jun and his group certainly didn't qualify either.
"Fourth Brother... this... is your home" Wei Jun looked at Xiao Yu, eyes wide with astonishment.
He had been with Xiao Yu the longest; almost as soon as he graduated, he'd joined him. Although Xiao Yu exhibited extraordinary medical skills and a broad network of contacts, when he saw Xiao Yu living in this kind of residence, it was impossible to believe his eyes.
Where exactly were they in Beijing Virtually every inch of land here could be considered golden; furthermore, Xiao Yu's residence was right next to the Beihai Park, which was at the heart of the city!
No matter where else you went—let alone outside the Fifth Ring Road—you wouldn't find a courtyard this size for less than two hundred million yuan. And even then, it wasn't just any courtyard; it was a quadrangle residence.
Nowadays in Beijing, even an ordinary farmer's quadrangle or mixed-use courtyard could fetch hundreds of millions—let alone Xiao Yu's place. Even with the current market conditions, it would require extraordinary connections to acquire such a property for ten billion yuan, and even then, it wouldn't be secure without those connections.
Upon hearing Wei Jun's words, Wang Chengzhi and the others also looked at Xiao Yu; although they didn't live in the capital city, they were well aware of the value of this residence. Hence, after hearing Wei Jun’s question, they all turned their gaze towards Xiao Yu.
"Haha, yes, this is our old family home which we just found! Come on, let's head to my place!" Upon hearing Wei Jun's words, Xiao Yu chuckled and said that before leading Wei Jun and the others into the siheyuan compound.
The siheyuan looked grand from outside, but upon entering, they realized it was even more magnificent than what they had imagined. The three courtyards were intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, exuding a sense of opulence that couldn't be missed by anyone who saw them.
Wei Jun and the others were unaware of Xiao Yu’s family history; all they knew was that he inherited his medical skills from his ancestors. However, after seeing this residence, they began to wonder about Xiao Yu's true identity.
As soon as they stepped into the compound, Wei Jun and the others felt like they had entered a grand mansion, which was their only impression of walking through such an imposing courtyard.
Xiao Yu eventually led them to the second courtyard’s guest rooms. He had already prepared more than ten guestrooms here for guests like Wei Jun—distant relatives or friends who traveled far to visit.
"Third Brother, Third Brother..." Just after Xiao Yu settled Wei Jun and the others, a voice called out from outside.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yu came out of Wei Jun's room. Outside stood Zhuo Simiao walking towards him.
"Second Brother, you're here!" When he saw Zhuo Simiao, Xiao Yu smiled and said. Since Zhuo Simiao had been rescued by Xiao Yu from a near-fatal illness, even though his health was fine now, his parents still insisted that he stay home for further observation.
Upon returning, Xiao Yu visited Zhuo Simiao to check on him. When they heard Xiao Yu say that Zhuo Simiao had fully recovered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, Zhuo Simiao was planning to go back to work in western Hunan after Xiao Yu's wedding.
"Brother Jun, look who’s here!" After saying this to Zhuo Simiao, Xiao Yu called out towards the room behind him.
When Xiao Yu shouted, Wei Jun and the others who had just finished washing up came out of their rooms. Upon seeing Zhuo Simiao, they exclaimed in surprise; after all, due to Xiao Yu's connection, their relationship with Zhuo Simiao was also quite good. Moreover, since graduation, they hadn’t seen each other at all. Naturally, they were delighted upon meeting.
At noon, Xiao Yu had the hotel chef prepare a few dishes for them. While eating and drinking together, they recounted their experiences over the past year. Especially Zhang Qizhan and Guo Liang felt overwhelmed with emotion. Before getting involved in family business, each of them lived extravagant lives because, to them, money was plentiful and easy to come by.
However, as they recently got involved with clan businesses, such thoughts vanished without a trace. It was precisely through contact with the family's enterprises that they realized how arduous life could be. Even though their families had billions of dollars, their lives were far from easy. They spent most of their days working and socializing, always wary of companies covertly plotting against them.
By two o'clock in the afternoon when Xiao Yu's group finished eating, Song Hushan’s group returned to the Xiao family residence. This time, they brought over ten staff members in their thirties.
It turned out that when Xiao Yu went to pick up Wei Jun and others, Song Hushan and his company left the Xiao home. In the afternoon, he gathered some personnel to help with writing and sending invitations; after all, there were only two days until Xiao Yu’s wedding, and distant relatives needed early notice.
The entire afternoon passed amidst Xiao Yu's bustling activities. Almost everyone he wanted to invite had received their invitations. These people were those who had become close friends over the past year, and anyone within Beijing was personally handed an invitation by them.
After returning to his room in the evening, Xiao Yu called Wang Xiong and Wang Tao to inform them. Though they hadn't known each other long, as cultivators, there would be many future interactions. Hence, he gave them a call and notified the elders from the other side that Xiao Yu was now part of the top alliance; these people must be informed.
After informing Wang's brothers, Xiao Yu called Li Shicheng in the deep sea and the Li family on the Treasure Island. Lastly, he contacted Jin Xianglin with a phone call. After thinking it over to ensure nothing was missed, he sat cross-legged and began meditating.
May 1st is International Labor Day; it's also Xiao Yu’s wedding day.
Xiao Yu’s wedding banquet was held at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Although Diaoyutai wasn't as mysterious in recent years, with some parts already open to the public, the place where Xiao Yu was getting married was still off-limits. These places were not only mysterious to ordinary people but also to wealthy individuals (To be continued).ption from Wang Erxi contained lingzhi (reishi), even though it was artificially cultivated, it still cost around a hundred or so yuan.The young man paid without hesitation.
