Chapter 1052: There’s Probably None In Longmen City
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Those who were standing by the door were men who came to help while the men who Ge Junjian had sent to pick up the dowry were his military comrades. The latter had already gone into the house.
The ones who were talking outside of the house right now were the men in Xinjiang Town who came to help. These men were usually puffing cigarettes and reading newspapers at the doorstep of their own house after working. They did not have much talent but they had gone through many newspapers, sometimes recognizing the various luxury cars published on the papers.
They had seen cars like Rolls-Royce and super sports cars on the newspapers but had never seen them in real life. Hence, they did not recognize the cars at first glance.
What was 1999 like during that era? It was a time when the country’s economy was still developing.
Some brides could only be sent to the grooms’ houses on motorcycles when they got married. Richer people would rent two wedding cars, economical sedans like Volkswagen or Santana, as not many people in 1999 could afford to buy cars like these. Those who were poorer sent off the brides in either motorcycles or tractors and that was considered decent already.
Those who were impoverished and could not even borrow a motorcycle or tractor would just register their marriage and get a marriage certificate without being able to afford a wedding. Some delayed it until their children had grown up and they had saved up enough to have a wedding.
Therefore, the 18-car entourage with a Rolls-Royce leading the way and all super sports cars of the same color following behind shocked the men by the door so much that their cigarettes fell to the ground with a soft clap.
18 wedding cars! This was crazy!
Other than the Rolls-Royce that was in front, the rest of the 17 cars behind were all super sports car! A formation like this was simply not just the matter of being shocking and making someone be in awe of the party’s wealth in 1999. It was a deadly eye-opener!
The men who were talking at the door felt their hearts nearly give out and their breaths cut short.
As for Yun Jian and others who were in the house, they heard the ruckus outside of the door.
“Xiao Jian… It’s? What?” Qin Yirou tugged Yun Jian’s hand, looking absolutely beautiful with her made up face.
“Yirou, what’s happening?” Dong Ruan’s voice came from upstairs just as Qin Yirou questioned Yun Jian tugging her hand.
Qin Yirou was just done with her makeup when Dong Ruan finally arrived in a rush from Longmen City, going to Civet for her makeup as well once she came. She was the maid of honor today.
According to customs, the maid of honor should be an unmarried woman but Qin Yirou wanted Dong Ruan to become her maid of honor regardless.
Upon her arrival and having Civet do her makeup, her rather alluring face had 20 years erased from it just like Qin Yirou. It surprised the others once more and proved the excellence of Civet’s makeup skills.
“Mom, I think they’re here. I’ll go have a look.” Yun Jian patted Qin Yirou’s hand with a squint and headed outside.
Seeing that Yun Jian went out, Yang Xiaochun and the other women, including a lot more of those sitting around, rushed to go out with her.
As all of them went outside, they were greeted with the 18 decorated wedding cars that were parked at the door. These wedding cars were brands they had never seen or heard of.
When the women heard the men gasping outside the door just now, they did not know what was so clamor-worthy of these cars. Yang Xiaochun had even gone up to them and asked, “What were you guys making a fuss about just now? It’s impressive having so many cars and they look nice but you just rent these cars, no? What’s so surprising about this?”
Actually, Yang Xiaochun was already screeching at the top of her lungs in her mind at the surprise.
“What do women like you know? Look at this car right in front of the fleet.. It’s a Rolls-Royce. The cheapest model costs at least five million yuan! Five million yuan! There’s probably not even one Rolls-Royce in the whole Longmen City!”
