Chapter 1303
Naturally, Sun Dewang was not happy to kowtow in front of so many people.
After all, he is more than 50 years old, this face is undeniably a bit embarrassing.
But Master of ceremonies declared seriously at this time: “Groom officer, today is your big wedding day. Two families are combined into one family. Not only do you have a young and beautiful wife, but you also have a couple of parents who love you. Parents, we Chinese have been showing the most filial piety since ancient times, so we kneel and kowtow to our parents. That is a matter of tradition, of course. Why you hesitate?
“Besides, the tradition of our Chinese marriage is to give tea to both parents.”
When Xue Xinlong’s wife heard this, she burst into tears.
It is true that two families form a family, but she truly doesn’t want her daughter to start a family with this old thing.
But now there is no retreat, she can only watch it.
Sun Dewang was told by the emcee at this time that he was somewhat unable to get off the stage, so he had to kneel on the ground, first kowtow to Xue Xinlong and called Dad, afterward kowtow to Xue Xinlong’s wife and called her Mom.
The couple looked at each other, feeling extremely depressed.
At this time, the staff hurriedly moved two chairs and asked Xue Xinlong and his wife to sit side by side. next Master of ceremonies mentioned to Sun Dewang: “It was supposed to be the bride and groom who bowed their heads to offer tea to both parents, but the parents of the bridegroom officer didn’t come today, so let’s let the bride and groom serve only tea to the woman’s parents.”
The crying red-eyed bride could only come to her parents reluctantly and knelt beside Sun Dewang.
The staff immediately brought them two cups of tea and handed them to Sun Dewang. Sun Dewang took a cup and remarked to Xue Xinlong with a red face, “Dad, drink tea…”
Xue Xinlong couldn’t wait to splash this cup of tea directly on his face, so naturally he didn’t want to pick it up.
But he raised his eyes and took a look, and found that Issac was in the audience, staring at him with a gloomy expression, and without warning shrank his neck, and hurriedly reached out and took the tea from Sun Dewang.
Sun Dewang took another cup of tea, handed it to Xue Xinlong’s wife, and remarked: “Mom, you have tea!”
Xue Xinlong’s wife was even more annoyed, and 10,000 times unwilling to drink the cup of tea he respected. So before she reached out to pick it up, Sun Dewang held the cup of tea in the air. After a while, he felt a little sore in his arms and felt embarrassed in his heart.
Xue Xinlong hurriedly winked at his wife. What he fears most now is that Issac has opinions on him.
He dare not make him incensed anyway.
Xue Xinlong’s wife found her husband glared at herself fiercely, she could only grit her teeth, reached out her hand to take the cup of tea, and drank it.
The emcee subsequently smiled and declared: “Drinking tea from the son-in-law is equivalent to approving the son-in-law. Let me interview the bride’s parents. Excuse me, are you satisfied with the groom?”
Xue Xinlong sighed and mentioned with red eyes: “Satisfied, satisfied…”
He was actually 10,000 dissatisfied in his heart, but he genuinely didn’t dare to say it at this time.
Xue Xinlong’s wife can only follow her husband and say things against her will.
Charlie looked amused in the audience, this is the price of being unkind, thinking that he has a bit of money and a little ability, he will look down on this and that, such a person will only eat the bitter fruit in the end.
After the farce of Sun Dewang and Xue Xinlong’s family of three was over, the emcee remarked: “Next, we will invite our second couple to take the stage, the groom Carden and the bride Isabella!”
