Chapter 217 Lu Jingxiao: I'm asking Weiwei to marry me

"That's slander! When did I mean that? I just..." Lu Jingxiao didn't quite understand for a moment.

The Gu Hancheng before her was no longer just her boss's uncle; Weiwei's attitude towards him had begun to waver, which meant... one day in the future, he would become her father-in-law...

We can't boss him around like that now.

Let's get this under control, let's get this under control.

It's something he can control.

"Uncle Gu, I love Weiwei very much. Over the years, she has been the only one I've ever loved. I just want to express how much I love Weiwei."

Uncle Gu is quite something to be able to discern the meaning of moral blackmail.

Uncle Gu is a few months younger than Dad. Since he wants to marry Weiwei, we can only call him Uncle.

Gu Hancheng: "..."

He didn't believe that Lu Jingxiao would truly love his daughter for the rest of his life.

"Lu Jingxiao, given your social status, I, Gu Jia..."

"I am unworthy of Weiwei, and I wish to ask for her hand in marriage. I have even prepared betrothal gifts... Would Uncle Gu like to take a look?"

Lu Jingxiao didn't give Gu Hancheng a chance to refuse. He had someone bring in a gift list. Gu Hancheng opened it and glanced at it. It was a dense list of betrothal gifts.

This guy seems to have taken out half of the Lu family's fortune.

All for the sake of marrying Luo Zhiwei.

"so much?"

Gu Hancheng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Luo Zhiwei stood up and walked to Gu Hancheng's side. She glanced at the list and immediately refused, "Lu Jingxiao, I can't accept this. It's too much. It's not appropriate."

To everyone's surprise, Lu Jingxiao didn't care about any of that. He acted like a nouveau riche, waving his hand to put his arm around her and saying arrogantly, "What is this? I have already restrained myself. According to my own will, everything in the Lu family is yours."

But right now, everyone has a share of the things in this house.

He cannot make all the decisions on his own.

So all he could give was this little bit, and it was already too much for the baby.

Luo Zhiwei: "......"

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

She glanced at Bai Wenyu and Lu Chen subconsciously.

Bai Wenyu smiled gently, her eyes full of affection and elegance: "Don't look at me, Weiwei. Those are all Jingxiao's things. Who he wants to give them to and how he wants to deal with them is his business. We never interfere."

That was his own money saved up for his wife; if they asked about it, his son would probably fly into a rage.

Besides, he only gave betrothal gifts; he didn't empty the Lu family's pockets.

It takes skill for him to be able to offer such a dowry to get a wife.

As parents, they never interfered.

"Besides, these betrothal gifts are for you, and I wholeheartedly approve of them."

Luo Zhiwei had no doubt about the sincerity of these words. Yesterday, when she went to the Lu family's old mansion for dinner, before leaving, the old man asked her to go to his study and gave her a manor as a gift. Uncle Lu was even more straightforward and gave her a black card with no spending limit.

My aunt is no less impressive; she owns a house and a car.

It gave her the illusion that she would become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in the next second.

This made her feel extremely flattered!

Lu Jingxiao raised an eyebrow arrogantly, "See, my mom completely agrees."

You will definitely not regret marrying me!

Gu Hancheng: "..."

This person is kind of annoying.

He decided to throw caution to the wind and act like a spoiled brat: "Let's put it this way, Lu Jingxiao, my daughter deserves the best in the world, but... I'm making amends right now, I can't make decisions for her, but I hope you can make her happy and let her get married a couple of years later."

Gu Hancheng turned to look at the old man and woman again, then continued looking at him: "My grandparents adore Weiwei, they treasure her terribly, you..."

“We are only engaged now. You can keep an eye on me at any time. If I do not perform well, I will accept any punishment.”

No one can separate them, no one can.

Gu Hancheng didn't know what to say. Lu Jingxiao's expression was so direct that he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Grandpa Gu, who was sitting to the side, finally spoke up: "Since you've made up your minds, then get engaged. However... the wedding will have to wait, after all..."

It's inappropriate to start arranging a wedding for a granddaughter so soon after the youngest son's passing.

"Let's get engaged first. I know you won't hand Weiwei over to me so easily. I will try my best to wait for you to open up and completely accept me before I propose to Weiwei and we get married."

Anyway, he only has eyes for Weiwei in this life, and no one will stop him from marrying her.

Grandpa Gu was very satisfied with Lu Jingxiao's statement. Not bad, this kid has some awareness.

He looked at Luo Zhiwei, his voice full of kindness, and asked for her opinion: "Weiwei, what do you think? Are you willing?"

Luo Zhiwei's gaze was firm. She had made up her mind not to let Lu Jingxiao down again: "I am willing, Grandpa."

She was supposed to be saying those words to Grandpa Gu, but Lu Jingxiao, standing to the side, was thoroughly amused.

The baby said yes.

"Then we have no objections. You two can decide for yourselves."

Seeing the younger generation happy is what they, as elders, want to see most.

Grandpa Lu was also in a very good mood: "Then it's settled. Jingxiao's birthday is in a few days, let's get engaged on the same day. We'll take care of the engagement arrangements."

Bai Wenyu chimed in, revealing Lu Jingxiao's secrets: "Many things are readily available. A-Xiao started preparing long ago to marry Weiwei. The engagement dress, wedding gown, and venue setup were all prepared long ago. As soon as you give the nod, we'll have people set it up immediately. It won't delay anything."

Gu Hancheng: "..."

Are you in such a hurry?

Lu Jingxiao felt embarrassed after his past was exposed. He turned away from the elders, who all seemed to know how to bully him.

If it weren't for Weiwei being there, he really would have liked to shut them up.

Is it okay to say these things?

No one knows what words touched Luo Zhiwei, but tears streamed down her face. Lu Jingxiao was so frightened that he rushed forward in a panic, extremely nervous: "Baby, why are you crying? Who bullied you? Don't cry, tell me, okay? I'll get revenge for you."

Why are you crying?

It breaks my heart to see this.

No one noticed until they heard Lu Jingxiao's words and then they all looked at Luo Zhiwei.

"Weiwei..." Bai Wenyu stood up, wanting to offer some comfort.

Luo Zhiwei felt like she'd been caught red-handed. She nervously explained, "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry, I just..."

I was a little touched.

Madam Gu smiled and teased, "It seems my Weiwei is touched. Indeed, if it were me, I would be touched too."

Luo Zhiwei's face flushed red instantly.

Lu Jingxiao suddenly realized that Weiwei had cried because she was moved by his early preparations for their wedding.

He became even more smug, raising his eyebrows and showing off arrogantly before looking down at Luo Zhiwei: "Baby, I told you I would marry you after graduation, but you dumped me before I even graduated, making us miss so many years. Now we can finally take the first step."

Luo Zhiwei opened her mouth, but the words she was about to say remained unspoken.

It's all her fault. If she had been braver back then, perhaps their outcome would have been different.

To put it bluntly, she caused all of this.

Gu Hancheng closed his eyes when he saw their interaction; he couldn't bear to watch.

Before their precious little flower could even enjoy the warmth of the Gu family, Lu Jingxiao was about to take it away, pot and all.

They were still showing affection in front of him, which made him even more uncomfortable.

But... Weiwei seems to only feel safe when she's with Lu Jingxiao.
