Gu Yunshen could not help but laugh. “Mother, don’t get all worked up. That’s not what I meant. I meant that I will buy the house. As for our livelihood after marriage, you don’t have to worry about it. I guarantee that I can support them.”
Wen Ruyu and Gu Chonghua exchanged glances. “Don’t tell us you’re very rich too!”
Gu Yunshen: “…”
He rubbed his nose. “Well, I was about to tell you about that! Father, Mother… after the wedding, I might be staying at the Qiao House quite often.”
Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu were taken aback. “What do you mean?”
“The two old folks in the Qiao family are all alone. The grandchildren are all back to study the market. All of them are like our children. They are full of ambition and want to do something big. They all had their own businesses overseas. In fact, no one is interested in the family business.”
Gu Conghua, “…”
Wen Ruyu, “…”
“At the moment, Yuying’s older brothers are looking after their assets overseas. The two children are back in China to study the market. In the future, Yuying will move Qiao’s Jewelry’s headquarters to the capital, and she will probably spend most of her time in the old folks’ house.
“Secondly, my mother-in-law is deeply immersed in medicine. Her greatest interest in life is traditional Chinese medicine. She owns several businesses, but none of the children are interested in them. She can’t find a successor. In the past, she wanted to hand it over to Yao Yao, but Yao Yao left too. Now that she has latched onto me, she won’t let me go.
“When I came back today, she even told me that in the future, I must stay at the Qiao home often to help her with her businesses. She will certainly treat me like her own son.”
Gu Conghua, “…”
Wen Ruyu, “…”
The two old folks exchanged glances and remained in shocked silence for a long time!
“It’s too good to be true!” Gu Chonghua exclaimed.
Wen Ruyu said, “Fools have their own luck!”
Gu Yunshen: “…”
Gu Yunshen had not expected that his parents would have no objection to him living with the Qiaos?
“You don’t mind?”
Wen Ruyu smiled. “As long as you’re happy, you can stay wherever you like. You’ve kept us company for so many years, you should have your own life. Or you’ll be old before you know it!”
“Do as you please! Go where you like! Your older brother will take care of us, you don’t need to worry.”
Gu Yunshen’s eyes reddened.
“When are you getting married?”
Gu Yunshen said, “We’re planning to get married in April. It will be formal, but simple. We’ll just invite our family and close friends to a meal. There’s no need to make a big fuss.”
Wen Ruyu frowned. “Does the Qiao family agree to that?”
“Yuying has agreed. But what I mean is that there is no need to make it such a big occasion. Of course, there will be all the usual formalities. I have to give her a wedding ceremony!”
Wen Ruyu nodded. “It’s only right. We’ll still buy you the house. Don’t refuse. You yourself can buy whatever you like.”
…
They discussed it for a while and settled the wedding matters. They also arranged a time to visit Old Master and Old Madam Qiao.
As for Gu Qingyao, she was shocked to hear that her parents were getting married in April. “April? But that leaves only a month. Can you be ready in time?”
Qiao Yuying smiled sweetly. “There’s no need to make a big fuss. What do you mean we won’t be ready in time? But you and Mo Beihan should fix a date for your wedding.”
Gu Qingyao paused. “Mother, do you agree with me marrying so quickly?”
She thought that her parents could not bear for her to leave the family so soon.
Qiao Yuying smiled. “You’re always smiling, never crying. Do you think I can’t tell? In the six years you were overseas, Mother has observed that at least Mo Beihan has never made you cry. He has always made you smile happily. Since I’ve met such a good son-in-law, I can’t bear to make him wait too long!
“Well… have yours in May then!”
