1755 Sending Out Wedding Invitations
In the end, Father Chi didn’t go back to the old residence with the couple, despite Grandpa’s welcome; he didn’t plan to trouble the in-laws. Besides, he had already discussed the matter of holding the banquet with Grandpa, Father Qi and Mother Qi. Everything else was up to the children to decide, such as which hotel to hold the wedding and where to take the wedding photos.

The young couple went to the old residence early and came back soon after. Father Chi was quite surprised. He had the young couple sit down, and asked a few casual questions, all of which were directed at Qi Zhenbai. Chi Shuyan was completely invisible!

“Zhenbai, have the two of you settled on a hotel for the wedding?”

“Dad, it’s already been decided. It’s at the Hilton Hotel in the city center. The hotel is big enough and easy to get to. It’s also closer to the old residence, which is more convenient!”
“Okay, it’s good you’ve sorted that out. By the way, what are your plans for the wedding ceremony? Zhenbai?” Father Chi asked again.

Chi Shuyan saw that her father only had eyes for Qi Zhenbai, while he completely ignored his own daughter. She was helpless and amused. Her father used a familiar and close tone in the way he said Zhenbai’s name, and didn’t treat Qi Zhenbai as an outsider at all.

It was even more so with Qi Zhenbai. He called Father Chi “Dad” familiarly. Those who didn’t know better would think that they were a real father and son. It seemed that when she wasn’t around for a day or two, their father and son-in-law relationship had developed rapidly.

Chi Shuyan cursed in her heart. The atmosphere between the father and son-in-law became more and more harmonious, so much so that she as the real daughter couldn’t help but be jealous of Qi Zhenbai.

Qi Zhenbai patted his wife’s hand as he continued to answer his father-in-law’s questions patiently. “Grandpa suggested that Yan Yan and I hold two wedding banquets, a Western banquet during the day and a Chinese banquet at night. The afternoon banquet will have more guests, while the one at night will be for our own family at the old residence. Yan Yan and I have already agreed and think that this is a good idea!”

Father Chi also felt that it was good. It was clear from Grandpa’s proposal how much he and the Qi family valued his daughter. Father Chi was very satisfied. He nodded and praised, “Not bad! This is a good idea!”

The father and son-in-law chatted for a long time before they were finally done. Only then did Chi Shuyan finally interject as she said to Father Chi, “Dad, I have a very important friend who will come to the capital a day or two before the wedding. If Zhenbai and I are too busy, pick her up for me and bring her to the villa!”

This person was naturally her teacher, whom she absolutely had to invite to the wedding.

She didn’t forget to let her teacher know about the wedding. Chi Shuyan had already urged her on WeChat to come to the capital. Persuaded, her teacher said that she would be there a day or two before the 30th, and Chi Shuyan planned to have her teacher stay in her villa.

She could save time and just give the wedding invitation to her teacher then.

Father Chi didn’t think much of it and immediately nodded. “Okay!”

It was just that after he replied, his right eyelid suddenly twitched.

Qi Zhenbai’s attention was also on his wife’s words at that moment. Speaking of which, he had met several of his wife’s friends and they seemed to be pretty close, so he was quite curious as to why his wife treated this particular person so well. Of course, what he cared about the most was their gender.

Qi Zhenbai probed subtly, and Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it. She said that this good friend was a girl and had a very good character. Most importantly, she was very, very beautiful. In short, Chi Shuyan couldn’t wait to talk her teacher up. Her words were filled with praise, and Qi Zhenbai’s handsome expressionless face inexplicably darkened.

Father Chi was also a little curious, and asked his daughter when she had made such a good friend.

Chi Shuyan immediately replied, “Dad, didn’t I ask you to help introduce an outstanding partner to my tea… this girl? Her surname is Fu, and her character, looks and family background are all really good.”

After a pause, Father Chi realized that his mood wasn’t right. He immediately sat down again and feigned calm. “Okay! No problem!”

Chi Shuyan took in the series of changes in her father’s expression, but before she could probe further, the man next to her changed the subject. “Wife, have you filled out your wedding invitations?”

Chi Shuyan immediately nodded. “Mm, right, Dad, did you help me send the wedding invitation to Uncle Wei’s family?”

Father Chi nodded absent-mindedly. The father and daughter chatted for a while longer before Father Chi excused himself to go back to his room first.

Chi Shuyan felt that something was wrong with her father’s expression and mood. She probed Qi Zhenbai, but he kept changing the subject.

Chi Shuyan racked her brain and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her father. She wanted to ask, but it was obvious from her father’s expression earlier that he didn’t plan to say anything, so she couldn’t ask.

In the end, with her man’s interference, she simply couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. She continued to seriously fill in the blank wedding invitations which the man had given to her, and also checked if she had missed anyone.

First of all, Brother Feng had to be invited.

She had invited Wang Xuewen, Lu Chengfu, Yu Jinzhou and the other boys, as well as Lin Haoxing’s family. She also planned to invite Uncle Wei, Zhen Yu and Yang Zhi, as well as Gu Yunzheng, Jiang Duo, Lu Yunfeng and Xiao Ningjin. As for Brother Zhu Bocheng, Qi Zhenbai had definitely invited him. Plus, Chi Shuyan had also invited Father Fan today.

Also, she planned to invite Brother Feng’s subordinates, such as Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming. After all, they had gone through life and death together before.

She also planned to send invitations to Counselor Zhang, Yu Rong, Xie Mingxuan, Director Li, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Xia Mingcheng, Yang Ji and the others. Whether they came or not was up to them.

After checking, Chi Shuyan handed a stack of filled-out wedding invitations to her man. Qi Zhenbai took a few looks. There were many unfamiliar names, which he skipped over. After confirming that there was no man surnamed Jing among the people his wife had invited, however, Qi Zhenbai was in a very good mood. “Mm, that’s about it!”
