Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Following the Tradition
"I'll try my best~"
Kobe paused for a moment. 89shush.com
This was Kobe's personality; he took everything seriously, even off the court.
For the third challenge of Wade Dong's wedding, the M-country players were asked to recite tongue twisters. When Curry and Durant gave up, Kobe kept trying, determined to learn and recite it.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Perhaps inspired by Kobe's spirit, everyone in the room started clapping, ❅❄

"Green grapes, purple... grapes, green grapes without seeds... purple grapes.
Eat grapes... don't spit out grape... skins, don't eat grapes... but spit out grape... skins."
In the end, Kobe managed to stumble through the tongue twister, surprising everyone.
You should know,
Kobe didn't understand Chinese, and he relied solely on phonetic descriptions to recite the tongue twister. Yet, in less than ten minutes, he had mastered it.
Li Jiajia was also moved, and she said to Kobe, "Wade Dong has always told me that you are his idol. I think you two are more like brothers."
"Let's not talk about idols."
Kobe waved his hand, "But Wade Dong and I are brothers!"
Upon hearing this, Durant took the opportunity to say, "Why don't you join the Suns next season? The Suns need you!"
"Hahaha..."
Kobe just laughed and waved his hand. →
With the third challenge completed, Li Jiajia felt a great relief.
Her sisters, especially Yunqi and Daisy, were always causing trouble, coming up with all sorts of strange requests. Li Jiajia was against it, but she couldn't refuse her close friends. Fortunately, everything went well in the end.
"Ahem~"
Zhuang Fei cleared her throat, "Since Dongge has passed all three challenges, this last one doesn't count as a challenge. You just need to find Jiajia's shoes and put them on her."
No one knew when this shoe-finding tradition started.
But nowadays, at weddings, the bride's side would hide the shoes and let the groom search for them. Both sides would go to great lengths to make this task difficult for the groom.
"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Let's find the shoes together!"
Fortunately, Wade Dong had brought many people with him, making the shoe-finding task easier as they worked together.
However...
After searching for a while, they couldn't find the shoes.
Zhang Yang, who had been standing still, waited until the others returned empty-handed. Then he patted Wade Dong and whispered, "There's an indentation on the carpet~"
"An indentation?!"
This hint was already very obvious.
The presidential suite had a ceiling height of over three meters. Why would there be an indentation on the carpet? It indicated that someone had brought in furniture and placed items on the ceiling.
Wade Dong looked up. →
There was only a crystal chandelier, and it was too bright to see clearly... But if you looked closely, you could notice a crystal shoe hanging from the chandelier.
Everyone followed Wade Dong's gaze and looked up at the chandelier.
This height... wasn't even a challenge for a basketball player.
Wade Dong jumped slightly and plucked a shoe from the chandelier... There was still one left!
Curry and Durant had searched for half a day, almost turning the suite upside down, but they still couldn't find the other shoe, indicating that it wasn't hidden in a conventional spot.
Wade Dong scanned the room and said, "Yan Jie, give me back the other shoe."
"Hmm?"
Yu Yan pretended not to know, "You should find the shoe yourself. If I tell you, wouldn't that be against the rules?"
...
Wade Dong smiled, "My brothers have searched every corner of this room, but they couldn't find it. What does that mean?
It means the shoe is hidden in a place my brothers dare not approach. You deliberately threw Durant out earlier...
You wanted to show us that we can't mess with you, and they wouldn't dare come near you. So, the last shoe,
must be on you!"
After Wade Dong said this, Durant covered his face. The scene of being thrown out earlier would be a stain on his life. A man over two meters tall had been thrown out by a girl less than 1.7 meters tall.
Yu Yan paused, took out a crystal shoe from her bag, and handed it to Wade Dong, "You guessed it."
"Oh my, here we go~"
Seeing Yu Yan's reaction, Zhang Yang patted his forehead.
His wife hadn't improved much after all these years~ It was obvious that Wade Dong was tricking Yu Yan. If he couldn't trick her, he would change his approach and try with Yunqi, Wang Xingya, or even Zhuang Fei. Unexpectedly, Yu Yan took out the other shoe after Wade Dong's words.
Both shoes were found.
Wade Dong put the shoes on Li Jiajia and held a bouquet, saying, "Jiajia, marry me~"
"Hmm..."
Li Jiajia nodded slightly and took the bouquet.
With this, the wedding ceremony was almost over. Professional photographers were there to capture every moment, and they were accompanied by Yan Hao.
Seeing this scene, Yan Hao wiped away his tears, "So touching..."
....
The rest of the wedding proceeded according to tradition.
Li Jiajia went downstairs and got into the wedding car, heading to Wade Dong's home.
In fact, Wade Dong already had two private villas in Yanjing, but he chose to bring Li Jiajia to his own home for the wedding. This was insisted upon by the Wade family, and there were many neighbors who wanted to see the bride.
With the bride brought home, half of the wedding was already over.
Next, they rushed to the hotel, where another wedding ceremony was held.
In general, in Huaxia, following the traditional wedding process can be exhausting... and the wedding ceremony itself is a big deal.
Too many people attended that day...
Wade Dong was too busy to care about the gifts from his friends and relatives. This task was handled by Guo Zifeng.
Later...
This also became one of Wade Dong's regrets. At the hotel entrance, Guo Zifeng set up a registration table. Every guest who attended was required to register their gift, and surprisingly, Guo Zifeng even used a POS machine for the registration.
Jordan: 500,000
LeBron James: 500,000
Kobe: 500,000
Durant: 300,000
Curry: 300,000
Gentry: 300,000
Draymond Green: 100,000
Iverson: 100,000
Zhang Yang: 1,000,000
Guo Zifeng: 1,000,000
Sarver: 300,000
...
These were all Wade Dong's friends or colleagues, and the gifts they gave were quite impressive. In fact, LeBron James and Kobe had inquired about this tradition before attending the wedding. They knew about it, but the amount was up to their discretion, usually a few hundred dollars, with a thousand or two as a gesture of goodwill.
However, given their status, giving a few hundred or a thousand dollars would be a bit undervalued... In the end, everyone's gift was in the six-figure range.
