Sheng Liancheng and Wu Lao became increasingly close as they chatted, with Wu Bingzhong and Wu Bingyi occasionally chiming in, making everyone more and more cheerful as they talked.

During their conversation, Wu Bingzhong also expressed his high regard for Sheng Xikang.

He told Sheng Liancheng that after Wu Yuhua graduated and started working, the two families would find a suitable time to finalize the marriage.

With these words spoken, the marriage was essentially a done deal.

Over there, Zhang Shuzhen quickly called Wu Yuhua to her side, took off the gold bracelet from her own wrist, and put it directly on Wu Yuhua's wrist.

"Yuhua, your aunt came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any gifts."

Wear this bracelet; consider it a gift from your aunt.

Needless to say, the bracelet was brought back to Zhang Shuzhen by Sheng Xiping from the south before the new year.

I bought this bracelet in Hong Kong; it cost around two thousand yuan after discounts.

"Oh dear, Auntie, this bracelet is too valuable!" Wu Yuhua exclaimed, and hurriedly tried to return the bracelet to Zhang Shuzhen.

As a member of the Wu family, Wu Yuhua had some knowledge. She could tell that the bracelet was very valuable, so how could she dare to accept it?

"Auntie, Xikang already gave me a watch before, saying it was a gift you prepared for me."

I accepted the watch, but I absolutely cannot accept this bracelet as well.

Zhang Shuzhen reached out and grasped Wu Yuhua's hand. "That watch doesn't count. This is the first time we've met, so this is a gift."

"Your aunt doesn't have much else, this is all you can offer. If you don't accept it, it means you don't respect your aunt."

Wu Yuhua looked towards Sheng Xikang for help, hoping he would put in a good word for her.

This bracelet is far too valuable; she can't accept it.

Sheng Xikang received the signal and quickly said, "Mom, look at you, you can't be this happy to see your future daughter-in-law, can you? You'll scare Yuhua again."

Well, Yuhua is at school. Wearing a watch is fine, but who wears a gold bracelet?

"Keep the bracelet for now. When we get engaged, you can arrange something else for us."

To be honest, Sheng Xikang was also taken aback by his mother's extravagant spending.

A gold bracelet? With his current salary, even if he didn't eat or drink for a year, I don't know if he could afford it.

"What are you saying, you brat? Is there any reason to ask for your mother's things back after she's given them away?"

Yuhua, don't listen to him. Your aunt is giving it to you, so just accept it.

If you feel it's inappropriate to wear it to school, then keep it and wear it when you start working.

If you really don't like it, then keep it as a treasure. Gold is always useful; a woman should always have something valuable in her possession.

Zhang Shuzhen was determined to give the bracelet to Wu Yuhua, and no amount of persuasion could change her mind.

“Sister-in-law, thank you for appreciating Yuhua so much, but we really can’t accept this bracelet.” At this moment, Yu Wenlan spoke up from the side.

Even though Yu Wenlan was well-informed, she was still taken aback by Zhang Shuzhen's extravagant spending.

Yu Wenlan knew that the Sheng family was wealthy.

Although Wu Yucheng didn't tell his family the truth about the dividends he received before the Lunar New Year, Wu Bingzhong and his wife could guess from his extravagant spending habits.

That year, Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng made a lot of money doing business.

But as much as he was rich, the fact that he gave her a large gold bracelet right away was truly beyond Yu Wenlan's expectations.

After all, Wu Yuhua and Sheng Xikang are just dating, and the Sheng family has already given her a watch, which is more than enough.

"Sister-in-law, I've truly decided in my heart that Yuhua is the one for our family."

I've already given this bracelet away, so there's no way I can take it back. Let it be.

"Yuhua, your aunt gave it to you, so just accept it without hesitation, it's alright."

Zhang Shuzhen held Wu Yuhua's hand and refused to let Wu Yuhua take off the bracelet and return it to her.

“Auntie, Yuhua, since my mother gave it to you, let Yuhua keep it.”

"Once Yuhua and Xikang get engaged, I'll have my mom put together two more items so we have the three gold pieces."

On the other end, Sheng Xiping saw this situation and smiled as he offered some advice.

"Oh, no need, no need. Don't bother with the 'three golds' (golden jewelry), that would cost a lot of money." Yu Wenlan quickly waved her hand upon hearing this.

These days, who's ever heard of getting three gold pieces for an engagement? Even in the capital, there's no such custom.

"Oh dear, look how much trouble you guys are having getting things done." At this moment, Old Wu, who was chatting enthusiastically with Sheng Liancheng, spoke up.

"Yuhua, are you and Xikang truly in love? Are you going to marry him?"

If you really want to marry him, then keep him. Anyway, he'll be yours in the future, so it's all in the same pot.

"If you're not truly interested in Xikang and don't intend to marry him, then you shouldn't be with him," Old Wu said decisively, waving his hand.

"Grandpa, of course I'm truly with Xikang." Wu Yuhua blushed and retorted angrily after her grandfather's words.

"Then that's settled. Keep it, keep it. This is from your future mother-in-law, so keep it safe and don't lose it." Old Wu laughed.

And so, Wu Yuhua thanked Zhang Shuzhen and carefully put the bracelet away.

Just then, the nanny came in and said that dinner was ready and asked when we would eat.

Yu Wenlan glanced at Wu Bingzhong and then smiled.

"Brothers and sisters-in-law of the Sheng family, as well as nephews and nieces, today is the first time our two families have met. We should have arranged a restaurant to properly entertain you all."

However, neither my father nor Bingzhong likes eating out, so I specially hired a famous private chef from the city to cook at home so we can eat more casually.

For a family like the Wu's, inviting guests to eat at their home is the highest form of etiquette.

"Yes, yes, I quite like this chef. He cooks very well. You should all try some later," Old Wu said with a smile.
