"What should we do? Should we still write it?" the fox spirit asked in a low voice. Through the livestream, she was now familiar with Arabic numerals. "Or should we get more?"
"It's too much trouble. Ten thousand is not a small amount, is it!" I took out the wad of money from my pocket, slapped it onto the gift table, and walked inside.
"Hey, hey, sir," the middle-aged man writing down gifts called out to me, "What's your name?"
"Wu Chengfeng." An upright person fears no suspicion.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly. "Wu Chengfeng? May I ask, Mr. Wu, do you have an invitation?"
Still need an invitation? I looked back. Sure enough, the next guest entering held a red and gold invitation. He was a young man with slicked-back hair, and in his other hand, he carried a box of mooncakes.
The middle-aged man recognized him, immediately recorded the gift, and muttered, "Mr. Song Wenzhi, gift money, one hundred thousand yuan."
Song Wenzhi glanced at the gift list, pointed at my name in front of him, and asked the middle-aged man, "Old Zhao, you missed a zero!"
The middle-aged man gave me a contemptuous glance. "No, I didn't. He only gave ten thousand yuan."
"Ten thousand yuan?" Song Wenzhi looked me up and down with a strange expression. "Are you kidding me? How dare you come to a wedding with only ten thousand yuan!"
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" the fox spirit chimed in. "Do you know what 'a small gift with a great meaning' means?"
Song Wenzhi saw the fox spirit and his eyes lit up. "Hey, who is this beautiful lady? I've never seen you before!"
"There are many beauties you haven't seen," the fox spirit pouted and smiled. As if by magic, she pulled an invitation from her bag, waved it in front of the middle-aged man, and then hooked her arm through mine as we went inside.
"Where did you get it?" I asked in a low voice.
"From that sucker who paid a hundred thousand." The fox spirit chuckled.
Amazing! In broad daylight, she could snatch such a big target. It feels like a waste for her to just be a streamer!
Upon entering the wedding venue, I looked around but couldn't find Chen Lu. However, on the way here, I had already marked her aura. I looked at the chandelier on the ceiling for a moment and successfully activated the Aura Sensing technique. I found her backstage, likely with her family.
As I spotted Chen Lu, I also unexpectedly discovered that there were some "masters" with colored auras mixed in the crowd. From strongest to weakest, there were two with blue auras, three with green auras, five with yellow auras, and over a dozen with orange auras.
Having seen the best, I now considered even blue auras to be mediocre. Moreover, these two blue auras were quite faint. With the fox spirit by my side, even if they were enemies, they wouldn't be a significant threat. The eight demonesses all had mid-blue auras, not as deep as Sha Wuji's. After all, Sha Wuji had long since transformed into human form, making him equivalent to the eldest disciple's seniority among the eight demonesses.
I found a seat in a corner. I didn't recognize anyone at my table, but they all showed interest in the fox spirit's beauty and found excuses to strike up conversations. Since I was going to play the role of Chen Lu's boyfriend later, it wasn't appropriate to appear too intimate with the fox spirit, so I let them approach her. Anyway, the fox spirit wouldn't be interested in these good-for-nothings.
Before long, Chen Lu came out from the backstage, looking around as if searching for me. I flashed my phone at her to indicate my position. As soon as Chen Lu arrived, the guests at the table immediately fell silent, looking at her respectfully. Two acquaintances softly called her "Miss Chen." Chen Lu didn't pay them much attention and said to me, "My parents want to meet you. Come with me."
"Ah? Now?"
"Uh-huh! Oh, don't be nervous, it's fine!" Chen Lu winked at me and then turned to the fox spirit, "Little sister-in-law, you sit here by yourself for a while!"
"Mhm."
Oh, so the fox spirit was playing the role of my sister and shared my surname? Wu Yikun?
