Page "The Wedding Banquet" Paragraph 3

Mr. and Mrs. Gao decide to fly in from Taiwan, bringing US $ 30, 000 to hold a magnificent wedding ceremony for their son.

Wai-Tung dares not tell his parents the truth, because his father has just recovered from a stroke ; they go through with the wedding.

However, the heartbreak his mother experiences at the courthouse wedding prepares the story for a shift to drama.

The only way to atone for the disgraceful wedding is a magnificent wedding banquet.

After the banquet, Wei-Wei seduces the drunken Wai-Tung, and becomes pregnant.

Simon is extremely upset when he finds out, and his relationship with Wai-Tung begins to deteriorate.
