Gu Zixiao's mother looked at her sister-in-law rushing up to her in a hurry, somewhat puzzled: "Why did you call me so urgently just now?"

Third Sister-in-law Gu: "Second Sister-in-law, it's like this, I heard something, but I don't know if it's true or false."

Gu Zixiao's mother: "What is it? Does it have anything to do with me? If not, I'm going back now. I have things to do."

After falling out with her best friend, she also fell out with her son.

Gu's mother has become much more law-abiding, especially within the Gu family.

Besides, she wasn't very close to Gu Zixiao to begin with, and was even a little afraid of him.

Since he stopped coming home, she has felt exceptionally comfortable and safe, both physically and mentally.

So when her sister-in-law rushed in front of her today, she instinctively felt that things weren't going well.

Third Sister-in-law Gu: "Of course it concerns you. Second Sister-in-law, you haven't forgotten that you have another son, have you?"

When Gu Zixiao was mentioned, Gu Sansao felt both envious and jealous.

There's no way around it; among all the children and grandchildren of the Gu family, Gu Zixiao is undoubtedly the most promising.

Although he hasn't visited the Gu family in recent years, he still hears rumors about them all the time.

There's a saying that goes, "His legend will always be around."

Anyway, Sister-in-law Gu heard from other neighbors today that Gu Zixiao had done a good deed, and tomorrow she will hear from other neighbors that Gu Zixiao has done another good deed.

Gu Zixiao has made many contributions over the years, but his promotions haven't been as fast, supposedly because it's to protect him.

Otherwise, his rapid promotion at such a young age would easily arouse jealousy.

To be honest, he's quite the object of envy right now.

So Gu Sansao was filled with jealousy and pain, but what could she do?

Since Gu Zixiao doesn't return to the Gu family, she has no reason to be jealous, let alone the fact that she wants Gu Zixiao to help her good-for-nothing sons.

Whenever her son was mentioned, Gu Sansao would always try to trade sons with her second sister-in-law.

Who was replaced?

It's obvious!

That's Gu Zixiao!

Gu Zixiao is so capable! As long as he continues to be this capable, she will have a lot of face in the outside world.

Unlike her second sister-in-law, who's so simple-minded.

He still looks down on Gu Zixiao every day.

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother's eyes flickered, and she became somewhat uneasy: "Ah, you mean Gu Zixiao? What happened to him?"

Third Sister-in-law Gu: "No way, Second Sister-in-law. That's your son, your best son. Why aren't you trying to build a good relationship with him..."

Before Gu Sansao could finish speaking, Gu's mother had already grown impatient.

Mother Gu: "Sister-in-law, is there anything else? If you don't have anything else, I'll head back now. I'm quite busy here."

Aunt Gu pursed her lips: "Fine, fine. You're busy, you're busy. But I heard that Gu Zixiao is getting married. I heard it's to a country girl."

Mrs. Gu paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand. If you have nothing else, I'll head back."

After saying that, she ignored the eye-roll that Third Sister-in-law Gu was rolling at her from behind.

What does Gu Zixiao's marriage have to do with her?

Wasn't the conflict caused by her opposing Gu Zixiao's marriage prospect?

At the time, it really angered the old man in the family. What does this sister-in-law mean now?

Do you really think she's stupid and doesn't know what the other party is up to?

Isn't the point to get her to sow discord?

This time, Gu's mother doesn't care!

Gu Zixiao can marry whomever she wants.

Anyway, it's not like I'm marrying her and living my life with her. I'll make my own life around her. If she turns out to be unreliable, I'll have to bear the consequences myself.

...

Gu Zixiao had no idea about the situation at the Gu family's place, and even if he did, it wouldn't concern him.

He rushed home happily, and as soon as he entered, he saw Lan Yao sitting on a recliner in the main room reading a newspaper.

Hearing the noise, Lan Yao raised her eyelids slightly and asked slowly, "Is the matter settled?"

Gu Zixiao didn't answer the question, but instead said, "How can you be so calm?"

Lan Yao: "Of course I'll stay calm. It's not like I absolutely have to get married."

Gu Zixiao's face immediately fell: "How could you say that? It really hurts me to hear you say that."

Lan Yao put down her newspaper: "Then you should show me one first. Preferably one where she cries beautifully."

Gu Zixiao: ...

He realized that his wife really enjoyed seeing him cry.

Gu Zixiao coughed lightly: "It's fine for you to cry, but it's unlucky to cry on such a joyous occasion."

Under normal circumstances, Gu Zixiao wouldn't be so particular.

But today is different, isn't it?

Gu Zixiao naturally needed to be particular about it.

Lan Yao said "Oh," and naturally held out her hand: "Take it out and let me see it."

This time, Gu Zixiao didn't dare to act coy and directly showed the application form to Lan Yao.

After looking at it, Lan Yao stroked the bright red stamp at the bottom corner.

She stood up and said to Gu Zixiao, "Since that's the case, then the sooner the better. Let's get this done today. As for the wedding, we can wait until next spring and choose a good day."

Grandma Yu nodded in agreement, but when she saw what Lan Yao was wearing today, she frowned and said, "Lan Yao, go and change into a red outfit."

They shouldn't wear such bright colors normally; they usually wear blue or black.

But today is different, isn't it?

People can tell from the woman's red outfit that she's going to get her marriage certificate today, so they won't be foolish enough to come and cause trouble.

Otherwise, people who are waiting for your family to get married will be rushing around looking for trouble, and you'll be happy about that.

Lan Yao nodded, went back to her room and quickly changed into a red coat, then put on a thick cotton-padded jacket over it. The three of them then went out together.

It wasn't noon yet, so the three of them arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau just in time, as there weren't many people there.

These days, people don't even realize they should get married at the civil affairs bureau.

So when it was their turn, it was quick. They had all the necessary documents with them, and their marriage certificate was issued with almost no trouble.

Once the marriage certificate was issued, Gu Zixiao treated it like a precious treasure, holding it and looking at it over and over again.

Lan Yao found it interesting. "Is it that rare? Should we hold it a few more times?"

"What did you say?" Gu Zixiao glared at Lan Yao speechlessly.

What does it mean to do it multiple times?

Does this mean he should divorce her and then have to do it a few more times?

Please, is he that kind of person?

He's such a pure-hearted person, you know.

Moreover, he is a very stubborn person; once he has made up his mind about something, he will stick to it.

Besides, Lan Yao is such a lovely and charming woman.

The longer Gu Zixiao spent with her, the deeper his feelings for her became; he simply couldn't live without her.

To be honest, Gu Zixiao never thought she would become like this for anyone.

However, Lan Yao has now become a special case for him.
