Chapter 295: Chapter 294 On Weighing by the Jin

"Alright, I will give it a try!" The third uncle got out of the car, spoke briefly to the driver of the luxury car, and those two luxury cars moved out of the way.

Returning to the car with eyes wide and mouth agape, all three were astonished, "Third brother, did you mention Old Qi’s name?"

"Yeah, they cleared the way immediately!" Third Uncle paused, then said, "And they were very polite too, this... what’s going on?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Was Old Qi’s name really that powerful?

They drove on, and after a while, they realized they didn’t even know where Old Qi’s family was getting married.

"Should we go to his place first?" The eldest uncle suggested, "I know where his house is!"

"Sounds good!" Everyone agreed and drove straight to Old Qi’s house.

Old Qi’s house was in a small village similar to the one Su Yang was from, although it was in the city, it was part of the old district and quite worn down.

Upon arriving at Old Qi’s home, they found it empty. Surprised, they quickly asked the neighbors and learned that Old Qi’s family had all gone to prepare for the wedding.

After inquiring of the villagers about the wedding site, they learned that the event was taking place at the Qingyun Clubhouse.

"My god, the Qingyun Clubhouse?" Third Uncle’s eyes widened, "That’s the most famous private clubhouse in Nanluo City, a place where even the wealthy can’t get in unless they have the same status. What does Old Qi do for a living that he could hold his son’s wedding there? What an incredible reputation he must have!"

"It seems we really underestimated Old Qi!" The eldest uncle sighed, "All these years, who knows how far they’ve come. It looks like they’ve just been keeping a low profile in front of us. We are no match for Zhao Xuefen. After all, she is in Nanluo City and knows Old Qi’s family best. No wonder she didn’t go to the second brother’s child’s wedding!"

"That Zhao Xuefen really has gone too far!" The second aunt exclaimed angrily, "Such a thing, and she didn’t tell us, isn’t it clear she didn’t want us to go to Old Qi’s son’s wedding and embarrass us?"

"What are you saying? That Zhao Xuefen, she’s too detestable!" Everyone began to clamor and denounce Zhao Xuefen.

The eldest aunt took a deep breath and whispered, "So what do we do now?"

Everyone looked at each other. Third Uncle murmured, "How about we go take a look at Qingyun Clubhouse? It’s the top clubhouse in Nanluo City, not only luxurious but most importantly, you can meet many big shots. Opportunities like this don’t come often!"

"That’s a good idea!" Everyone nodded in agreement, they actually all wanted to go as well.

They drove straight to Qingyun Clubhouse, but three miles away from the Clubhouse, they were stopped. Ahead of them was a long procession of wedding cars. And the least opulent car in the fleet was beyond their reach!

They were all stunned. Third Uncle exclaimed in amazement, "This... what kind of big shot would have such a motorcade? My heavens, none of the cars in this procession costs less than two million!"

The eldest uncle and aunt didn’t know much about cars but knew from the price that it was no small thing.

"There must be a hundred or two hundred wedding cars, right? Where on earth did Old Qi find so many luxury cars?" The eldest uncle marveled.

"Ah, truly, as the saying goes, ’One should not underestimate a man who has been away for three days.’" The eldest aunt sighed, "Who would have thought that Old Qi, who once was honest and modest, could have made it this far. It seems we need to change our attitude towards Old Qi. We can’t let Zhao Xuefen and her family always be the ones in the forefront!"

"The eldest sister is right, Old Qi is after all part of our Zhao family. How can we have good relations only with Zhao Xuefen’s family!" The second aunt declared, "I’ve made up my mind. I’ll stay here to help Old Qi with the wedding. The second brother’s side has plenty of people, they don’t need my help!"

"I’m staying too!" the other three chimed in. Who would go to the wedding at Uncle’s place after making it all the way here?

After much difficulty, they finally drove to Qingyun Clubhouse. The wedding cars had already left from the other side, and they had to tell the security they were Old Qi’s cousins before they were allowed in; otherwise, they couldn’t have entered at all.

Once inside, everyone was amazed yet again. The luxury here was so shocking that they all grew even more admiring of Old Qi.

Several tables were lined up at the entrance, with people sitting there writing out the gift lists.

"Let’s give the gift money first," Uncle Three whispered.

"How much are you giving?" Aunt asked in a low voice.

"Well...", Uncle Three scratched his head and said quietly, "Given our relationship, five hundred is the limit!"

"Nonsense, is it still a matter of five hundred?" Uncle glared, "It used to be enough, but giving five hundred now would be embarrassing, wouldn’t it?"

"So how much?" Uncle Three asked quietly.

"Five thousand!" Uncle stated bluntly.

"What?" Uncle Three was stunned, "I... I didn’t bring that much money. I do have a little over five thousand on me, but that’s for my second brother’s kid..."

"Your second brother’s kid can be taken care of later. We need to get Old Qi’s part right first!" Uncle whispered urgently, "Can’t you see what the situation is now?"

Uncle Three immediately shut up. Aunt Two hesitated and said softly, "Big brother, do we really have to give that much? Five thousand, that’s too much, isn’t it?"

"What do you know!" Uncle exclaimed, "We’ve drifted away from Old Qi and the others over the years. It’s not easy to close that gap now. This is a chance. With five thousand handed over, it’s definitely not a small amount; it will stand out among many, and Old Qi will notice it. Then he’ll understand our intention, right?"

"You’re right!" Aunt nodded firmly, "Five thousand it is. We can’t skimp on this money!"

Everyone nodded and walked over to the gift list table together.

Uncle led the way, pulling out a stack of five thousand yuan, and handed it over in front of everyone, proudly saying, "Five thousand, Zhao Lizhu!"

A young man took the money, without bothering to count it, and placed it on a scale next to him.

"Fifty-eight grams, noted!" the young man said.

"Hold on a minute!" Uncle panicked, "What... what does this mean? What do you mean by fifty-eight grams? It’s about the money, not the weight!"

The young man looked up at Uncle, "Uncle, there are too many people here. Counting each note one by one would take forever. So, we calculate by weight instead!"

"What?" Uncle was baffled, "How many people could there be? You, this kid, how can you... how can you be so lazy in your work? You’re supposed to count money and keep accounts, so what do you mean by being lazy? Could there be so much money that you can’t count it?"

The young man looked helplessly, "Uncle, I’m not lying to you. All of us came from accounting firms in the city. Even if everyone in the firm worked together, we probably couldn’t finish counting today’s money by counting each note. There’s simply no way to do it!"
