Gu Qingqing's thinking was rather simple, so she wasn't in a hurry; she figured a few more days wouldn't make a difference.
But Fu Jue was anxious.
"You said it yourself, you have to be honest with them about our relationship after the New Year."
"Yes, I promise."
——
This day was New Year's Eve, and the Gu family's house was brightly lit.
Gu Jin gave the dozen or so servants at the villa a holiday so they could go home for the New Year.
Around 4 p.m., he, Gu Qingqing, Gu Mu, and Gu En prepared a reunion dinner together in the kitchen.
They didn't mind the dirt or the hard work; on the contrary, they felt that it was only when the whole family worked together to prepare the reunion dinner that there was a festive atmosphere.
It can also enhance the bond between them, making the sibling relationship better and stronger.
"Qingqing, Grandpa Fu is here—"
Grandpa Fu slowly walked into the Gu family villa, leaning on his cane, with Fu Jue supporting him.
Today, only the old housekeeper is on duty at the Gu family home, and of course, there is also a seventy- or eighty-year-old Grandma Chen who lives in the Gu family home for retirement.
He specially flew from abroad to the capital of China to spend the New Year with Fu Jue.
Most importantly, it's for Fu Jue's marriage.
Gu Qingqing, who was carrying a dish out of the kitchen, smiled with delight when she saw Fu Jue and Grandpa Fu arrive.
"Grandpa Fu—"
"Welcome to celebrate the New Year with us."
She quickly placed the dishes on the table and rushed over to greet them.
"Qingqing." Fu Jue quickly stepped forward and hugged her, then let go of her before Gu Mu and Gu En came out.
Grandpa Fu was annoyed by his grandson's cowardly behavior.
He had only just found out about Fu Jue and Gu Qingqing's relationship, but Gu Mu and Gu En didn't know. They were afraid that Gu Mu and the others would object, so they kept it a secret even though they had been dating for several days.
He was timid and submissive, showing none of his former bravery and intelligence.
"Hello, Mr. Fu." Gu Mu and Gu En greeted him first.
"Happy New Year, I'm sorry to have bothered you tonight." Old Master Fu was still a little embarrassed.
His family is small, and his grandson loves to follow his granddaughter-in-law around, so this old man has no choice but to come along.
Things should get better after Fu Jue and Gu Qingqing get married.
However, judging from how much the three Gu brothers value Gu Qingqing, it's estimated that after she marries Fu Jue, she'll be running between the two places.
"Little girl, Grandpa Fu bought you a gift. See if you like it."
"Qingqing will definitely like it, because she likes any gift that Grandpa Fu gives her."
She received a small red box from Grandpa Fu. Although the box was small, the sentiment behind it was heartfelt and did not affect her good mood at all.
She has always regarded money as something external to her.
"Your little mouth is so sweet, like it's coated with honey. Grandpa Fu likes you. Qingqing, open this and see, Grandpa Fu guarantees you'll like this gift." Grandpa Fu couldn't wait for her to open the box.
"Qingqing, open it and see." Fu Jue knew what was in the box, but he didn't tell her beforehand, wanting to give her a surprise.
"Mm." She nodded with a smile, unaware of the cunning in the eyes of the grandfather and grandson.
Upon opening the red box, one could see a pair of very beautiful, lush green jade bracelets inside.
"It's so beautiful! It's definitely not a cheap item. Grandpa Fu, are you really going to give me such an expensive bracelet? The gifts I gave you were rather ordinary, but you're giving me such a valuable one..."
Gu Qingqing closed the lid, unable to accept the precious gift that Old Master Fu had given her.
Grandpa Fu laughed heartily: "Hahaha—Grandpa Fu gave it to you, so just accept it. It's nothing valuable. We have plenty more at home. If you want it, I'll give it all to you."
“Yes, Qingqing, what’s given to you is yours. You can’t refuse a gift from an elder,” Fu Jue added, offering his advice.
These two emerald green jade bracelets are crystal clear and without any impurities. They are unique and worth hundreds of millions.
The most important thing is that these jade bracelets are family heirlooms passed down for generations. They are specifically for the next generation of daughters-in-law to wear and keep.
"Okay! I accept this gift. Thank you, Grandpa Fu. You're so kind to me. I'll treat you even better in the future."
Gu Qingqing's tearful, heartfelt words moved even Old Master Fu.
Gu Mu and Gu En felt something was off about the bracelets; they probably thought they were too beautiful, unlike ordinary objects.
"Qingqing, let me put it on for you! You'll look beautiful in the bracelet."
Afraid that she would refuse, Fu Jue took the box directly, opened it, and took out a pair of bracelets.
If she wears it tonight, she will be the seventh matriarch of the Fu family.
"Oh, okay." Gu Qingqing felt embarrassed to refuse. Wearing it before would make Fu Jue and Grandpa Fu happy.
Other things are not important.
Gu Mu and Gu En were not happy, but they did not stop it.
Fu Jue gently and carefully helped Gu Qingqing put on the jade bracelets; they fit perfectly, not too big or too small.
It also made her skin look even whiter and more rosy.
"So beautiful, Qingqing, these bracelets were made just for you." Fu Jue loved how she looked wearing the bracelets.
"Thank you." Anyone would be happy to be perfected, and she was no exception.
"Excellent, excellent, these bracelets are perfect for Qingqing," Old Master Fu praised.
Gu Mu and Gu En also thought she looked beautiful in the bracelet, so they didn't say anything.
At this moment, Gu Jin came out of the kitchen.
I happened to witness this scene.
I understood immediately.
"Mr. Fu, Happy New Year! Welcome!"
"Have fun with me! Sorry to bother you."
"Not at all, Mr. Fu, you're too kind."
