850: The Wedding Date Is Fixed (5)

The Wedding Date Is Fixed (5)

"May?" Gu Qingyao felt flustered!1

Qiao Yuying laughed. "Why? Do you think that's too soon?"

Gu Qingyao paused and blushed. "This… I… was just a little shocked. Shocked!"

Why did she feel that it was so soon?

Mo Beihan had waited for her for so long. Her heart ached for him too!

But she was truly startled. She had not expected her parents to let her get married so soon.

She had planned to marry Mo Beihan after returning to China, but now that she had a mother, she must surely wait for her mother to return before getting married.

The Qiao family was her mother's family. She could not possibly get married without her parents' settling their formalities. Mo Beihan had thought of that too. So they decided to wait for the Qiao family to return to China and wait for their parents to finish their wedding before they got married.

May. Which meant that one month after her parents' wedding, she and Mo Beihan would be getting married.

The fellow would be elated to hear the news!

When Qiao Yuying saw her daughter's expression, she knew that her daughter was willing. So she smiled and said, "All right. When we were overseas, I could not bear to see you married at first. But your father arrived recently, and I feel that we've had so many regrets in life. Now, we truly regret the twenty years that we were apart. Since we are together now, we should treasure our time and memories.

"It's the same for you and Mo Beihan. You love each other, and you're compatible in every way. If marrying him brings you happiness, I won't stop you. I have your father now, I don't have time to bother with you!"

Gu Qingyao: "…"

She had been moved by the first part of her mother's speech, but when she heard the last part, she felt abandoned.

"Mother… You don't love me anymore, wu wu wu…"

Qiao Yuying was so amused that she burst out laughing.

With the wedding dates fixed, the Gu family grew very busy. Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu arranged a time to visit the Qiao family with Gu Yunshen and discuss the wedding.

Wen Ruyu still insisted on buying a few houses for her son, a car for each of them, two sets of gold hair ornaments, ten pairs of dragon-phoenix bracelets and $66,000 as a wedding gift. Then there were some clothes, shoes and socks.

In this era, this was considered incredibly extravagant!

The dragon-phoenix bracelets were the old-fashioned kind and were all solid gold. Each of them was extremely heavy, unlike the hollow bracelets.

Besides the cars and houses, the wedding gift of $66,000 was already shocking.

One must know that ten years ago, families with tens of thousands of yuan were already considered very wealthy. Considering the money of that time, even a family like the Bais might not be able to gather $66,000 worth of case.

That was the difference in their families' wealth.

But in the wealthy eyes of the Qiaos, of course this was not much.

However, they knew what the current circumstances in China were like, and this was sufficient to show how much the Gu family thought of Qiao Yuying. At the very least, the gift made them feel good.

The discussions were going smoothly, but Old Madam Qiao wanted to clarify one point.

"I don't have any other requests, just that after Yunshen gets married, can he live with us? Also, I own some businesses but have no one to run them. I need his help."

"Naturally, since Yunshen is running them, they will go to him and Yuying in the future. I won't give them to anyone else."

Old Madam Qiao spoke rather hesitantly. After all, this was a wealthy family in China. She knew that these old families could be very traditional and placed great importance on their sons. It would be difficult to ask the Gus to allow their son to live with the Qiaos.

Besides, the Qiao family was not short of sons!
