Chapter 1069: Engagement Banquet (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
These discussions bemused Ji Mingyue. At the same time, she was inwardly very happy.
That day, when Gu Jinhang drove over to fetch her, Ji Mingyue was still smiling when she got into the car.
Gu Jinhang cocked her head and grasped her hand. “What makes you so happy today?”
ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom Ji Mingyue smiled, “What else? Our wedding! Recently, all those people have been staring at me. They’re dying to go through all my clothes and jewelry and see how much they’re worth!”
“When I go out with you today, someone might see us. If they see us, it will become a topic of conversation again.”
Gu Jinhang held her hand tighter. “It’s true that our engagement banquet was rather simple. It was hard on you!”
Ji Mingyue turned and looked at him incredulously. “Simple? That was simple? Gu Jinhang, just how much money do you have?”
To Ji Mingyue, an engagement banquet like that was not simple at all!
To Ji Mingyue, everything had been excellent, from the dowry to the jewelry to the scale of the banquet.
In the past, she would never have dared to dream of such things.
Then, she was sure that she would never get married. Her reputation was ruined, and she had been depressed whenever she thought of how it would affect her family’s standing. But her life changed completely after she met Gu Jinhang!
It was as if she had cheated!
Now, Ji Mingyue was really very happy. Mostly because someone doted on her!
Besides, the person who doted on her was very capable!
Gu Jinhang smiled. “I don’t have a lot of money, but it’s enough to support you. Why? Thinking of controlling the household now?”
Ji Mingyue blushed. “I… no, I just think that a wedding is very nice. It was just an engagement dinner! We’re still holding a wedding. I actually thought that holding two ceremonies would’ve been too wasteful. For the engagement dinner, it would’ve been enough for the elders from both families to have a meal together. I didn’t expect you to invite so many people.”
This girl was so easy to satisfy.
“What nonsense. If it wasn’t that the capital has been rife with comparison lately and I was afraid that the Gu family would be censured, I would give you an even grander one!”
Ji Mingyue said, “No need, this is already very good. The Gu family has deep roots; there is no need to compare with those people. To be honest, when I see how those families suffered in the past, I really admire your family. Although they also suffered, at least everyone survived safely. Now they have many sons and grandsons, and all of them are so talented. They’re amazing!
“Now we don’t have to worry about having enough food, and our standard of living is much better than average. I’m already content. You’ve already bought so many houses for our wedding. If the girls knew, they would die of envy. Many, many girls have to squeeze in with their husband’s family when they get married!
“What we have is already very good!”
Just because she envied Gu Qingyao’s little compound in the Qiao House, Gu Jinhang had specially bought an old-fashioned courtyard house and given it to her for their upcoming wedding. There was also a house in an upmarket area that was to be their marital home. She heard that there was another villa on the hillside that was still being renovated. Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan were staying on the hilltop!
When they had time in the future, they could move there and be neighbors. Ji Mingyue almost swooned with joy when she thought about these things!
Besides, when they got engaged, the dowry and jewelry that the Gu family had given her in private had far exceeded the amount that was shown to the public. If they gave her anymore, she would feel embarrassed!
Gu Jinhang patted her hand. “As long as you’re pleased.. We’re only getting married once; of course, it has to be a little grander.”
