Hard work after winning the lottery

The black sedan drove back into the bustling city center and finally stopped in front of the top-tier hotel where the banquet was about to be held.

This is a property under the Zhou family, and also the highest-level banquet venue in the entire City A.

The huge banquet hall doors were slowly pushed open by the waiters.

Although she was mentally prepared, Hua Yun was still momentarily stunned by the sight before her.

If the wedding in Baixi Village is a freehand painting amidst the mountains and rivers, then this is a meticulously detailed painting of extreme luxury.

Everywhere you look, there is an interplay of champagne gold and pure white.

Above the dome, a huge Swarovski crystal chandelier hangs down, its thousands of crystal facets refracting dazzling light under the illumination, resembling an inverted Milky Way.

The air wasn't filled with the usual sweet floral scent, but rather with a crisp, elegant, and sophisticated fragrance.

"These flowers..."

Hua Yun looked at the sea of ​​flowers surrounding her and was somewhat surprised.

"The tulips and white roses were airlifted from the Netherlands."

Zhou Yanjin held her hand and walked calmly on the smooth, mirror-like marble floor.

"We just landed at dawn, and it's still dripping with dew."

The three little ones had never seen such a big "house" before.

Si Tao took off running, her excited screams echoing through the empty banquet hall.

Wow! It's huge!

"Brother, come and catch me!"

Sile followed behind, stumbling and trying to catch up with her brother.

Even the usually composed Si'an was attracted by this novel environment. She followed her parents with her short legs, her big eyes curiously examining the sparkling decorations.

Zhou Yanjin turned her head to look at the slightly reserved woman beside her.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?"

Hua Yun took a deep breath and nodded frankly.

"Yes, this is quite a spectacle... much bigger than I imagined."

Zhou Yanjin chuckled softly, his fingers gently caressing her palm.

"Don't be afraid, this is just a formality."

He paused, his eyes becoming deep and unfathomable.

"I want everyone to know that you, Hua Yun, are my lawfully wedded wife, Zhou Yanjin."

As they were talking, the staff passageway on the side of the banquet hall opened.

A group of uniformed staff pushed in several huge dust-proof coat racks, led by a middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup.

"Mr. Zhou, Madam, the wedding dress has arrived."

As the dust cover was slowly pulled open, a wedding dress that would make any woman hold her breath was revealed.

This is not the light and airy style I wore by the lake before.

This piece has a more elegant and luxurious design, full of the weight and grandeur of a royal court style.

Made with the finest heavy silk, the skirt is layered, large, and voluminous.

The chest and cuffs are embroidered with delicate pearls and diamonds, which shimmer with a low-key yet luxurious light under the lamp.

The most eye-catching feature was the three-meter-long veil at the back, which spread out on the carpet like clouds.

Hua Yun subconsciously reached out, her fingertips touching the cool silk, and her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

"Give it a try."

Zhou Yanjin patted her on the shoulder encouragingly.

While Hua Yun was trying on her clothes, the atmosphere at the other end of the top-floor suite was rather somber.

Wearing reading glasses, Zhou Yinchuan held a gold-embossed list in his hand and was doing a final check with his son, Zhou Ye.

This banquet was more than just a wedding.

This is also a signal that the Zhou Group is sending to the outside world.

Business partners, celebrities from all walks of life, political figures... behind each name lies a heavy burden of power and interests.

Compared to the Zhou family's well-thought-out strategy, the Hua family in the next room seemed somewhat at a loss.

On the wedding day...

Several architects were circling around them.

The bed was covered with all kinds of haute couture gowns, each with a price tag equivalent to a year's harvest in the village.

"This...this material is so expensive, what if I get it dirty?"

She looked to her husband, Hua Shu, for help.

Hua Shu wasn't much better off. The well-tailored dark gray suit he was wearing made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Can't I just wear my new jacket? This outfit makes me look like a wooden stake."

Grandpa Hua was more composed, sitting on the sofa smoking a pipe. But as soon as he took out the pipe, the stylist politely stopped him.

"Grandpa, there's a smoke detector in this room. Let's just bear with it, let's just bear with it."

The atmosphere in the room was both exciting and oppressively tense.

Just then, Hua An, who had been standing by the window admiring the scenery, turned around.

He walked over and gently pressed his mother's shoulder.

"Mom, Dad, we don't need to think too much about it."

Hua An's voice was clear and bright, exuding the vigor of a young man.

"We dress smartly to make our sister proud. We laugh openly to give our brother-in-law face."

He picked up the cheongsam and stuffed it into Li Guifen's hands.

"Since my sister is happy now, let's just enjoy ourselves and participate. Nothing else matters."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Li Guifen was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes reddened.

"Yes, yes, Anzi is right. For your sister, Mom is willing to go all out!"

Zhou Yanjin's styling team was very perceptive.

They didn't give the Hua family members heavy makeup, but rather made appropriate adjustments based on each person's temperament.

Li Guifen styled her hair into a bun and inserted a warm jade hairpin, making her appear much more gentle and graceful.

Hua Shu had trimmed his hair and beard. Although his skin was dark, the suit gave him a rugged and simple look typical of a farmer.

Time passed by, second by second.

As dusk fell, the city lights began to illuminate the night.

The entire city of A seemed to have transformed into a dazzling, never-sleeping metropolis.

Inside the master bedroom of the presidential suite, all unauthorized personnel had already left.

Hua Yun stood quietly in front of the huge floor-length mirror.

The gorgeous wedding dress perfectly hugged her curves, making her already delicate features even more stunning.

The door behind me was pushed open.

Zhou Yanjin walked in.

He changed into a well-tailored black tuxedo with an elegant bow tie, and his hair was neatly combed back, revealing his full and smooth forehead.

He stopped three steps away from Hua Yun.

Those usually cold and deep eyes were now brimming with undisguised amazement and love.

This was the first time he had ever seen Hua Yun dressed so elegantly.

She used to be like a resilient little grass, growing tenaciously in the wind and rain.

And now, she has finally blossomed into the most dazzling rose.

Zhou Yanjin stepped forward, gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and rested his chin on her bare shoulder.

In the mirror, their reflections overlapped, like a match made in heaven.

"So beautiful."

He whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her skin, causing a slight shiver.

Hua Yun looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat dazed.

"Is this really... me?"

"Of course it's you."

Zhou Yanjin turned her around so that she was facing him.

He lowered his head and placed a very sincere kiss on her smooth, full forehead.

"Hua Yun, tonight, you are the most dazzling presence in the entire City A, and even the world."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if he were promising her a future.

"But... there are so many people outside."

Hua Yun's fingers gripped his sleeve tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.

"I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."

Zhou Yanjin took her hand in return, their fingers intertwined.

"look up."

He commanded.

Hua Yun subconsciously looked up and met his eyes, which seemed to be able to absorb the stars and the sea.

"Remember this, you are the president's wife of the Zhou Group, and the only love of my life, Zhou Yanjin."

"In this arena, no one dares to look down on you unless you bow your head first."

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly stimulating Hua Yun's heart.

She took a deep breath, and the timidity in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a determined light.

"it is good."

She smiled slightly and took his strong, powerful arm.

"Let's do it together."

She knew that once she pushed open this door, she would no longer be just Hua Yun from Baixi Village.

She will officially enter Zhou Yanjin's world, stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and weather the storms together.
