Chapter 57 The King of Soldiers Descends from the Sky, Just to Protect Her! (Happy Qixi Festival, my darlings! (^o^)/)
Grandma Gu took Su Yue's hand and patted it hard.
"Good child, I'm so sorry you had to go through this!"
She turned to look at Gu Zhengfeng, "Zhengfeng, this matter can't be left like this! Call that kid Beichen right now and tell him to submit the marriage application immediately! I want to see who dares to gossip!"
Gu Zhengfeng nodded emphatically: "Mom, don't worry, I'll get it done right away! We must get the report approved as soon as possible! Our Gu family's daughter-in-law can't suffer this kind of injustice!"
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing's family dared not linger any longer. They quickly helped her up, who was in a daze, and slunk away from the Gu family compound.
Chu Jingya, who had been standing gracefully to the side, slowly stepped forward and bowed slightly to the elders of the Gu family.
"Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, I'm so sorry for what happened today. I've disturbed your peace and quiet."
She then turned to Su Yue, her gaze gentle and tinged with apology: "Sister Su Yue, if you need anything in the capital, you can always come to the Chu family to find me. My father greatly admires Bei Chen, and the Chu family will never refuse to help if there is anything we can do."
Her every word and action displayed the demeanor of a well-bred lady, leaving no room for criticism.
With the crisis completely resolved, the oppressive atmosphere in the Gu family compound vanished, replaced by a wave of joy.
Zhang Huilan held Su Yue's hand, looking at her with obvious affection, her eyes even welling up with tears.
"Oh, my dear Yueyue, you've finally resolved this matter. I'm so sorry you had to go through all this trouble!"
As she spoke, she began excitedly making plans.
"This wedding must be a grand affair! Beichen is in the military, so the ceremony can be simplified, but the dowry from the Gu family cannot be lacking! The 'three turns and one sound' must be provided! Watch, bicycle, sewing machine, radio, all the best! Cash, no exceptions! Let's say 888, for good luck!"
She became more and more excited as she talked, and slapped her thigh.
"No, that's not enough! Zhengfeng, don't we have a vacant courtyard house in Dongcheng? Let's get the paperwork done tomorrow and transfer it to Yueyue's name! We need to make sure Yueyue feels at ease, that she has her own place in the capital!"
This doting affection almost overwhelmed Su Yue.
Su Yue felt a warm glow in her heart. She looked at the elder in front of her who genuinely cared for her and smiled as she spoke.
"Mom, I appreciate your kind intentions. However, in order to respond to the call of the military and to ensure that the procedures are in compliance with regulations, I think Beichen and I should get a premarital checkup before we register our marriage."
Upon hearing her words, Zhang Huilan and Grandma Gu, who were still excited, were both stunned for a moment.
Even Gu Zhengfeng, who had been wearing a serious expression, showed an approving look.
This girl is not only brave and resourceful, but also so sensible and considerate!
In those days, premarital medical examinations were not mandatory, and many people considered them unnecessary. Su Yue's initiative to bring it up demonstrates her awareness and respect for military discipline.
Grandma Gu beamed with joy: "Good, good, good! Yueyue is so thoughtful! That's how it should be! Everything must be done according to the rules! Zhengfeng, did you hear that? Arrange for them to go to the General Hospital of the Military Region for checkups tomorrow!"
Gu Zhengfeng nodded immediately: "I'll arrange it right away!"
The Gu family compound was filled with joy as everyone busied themselves with preparations and dreams for the upcoming wedding.
As Su Yue watched all this, the heavy weight that had been hanging over her heart due to the transmigration finally lifted completely.
She knew that from this day forward, she had a home in this era.
Su Yue stayed at the Gu family's house temporarily.
The news sent shockwaves through the entire Beijing compound.
One minute rumors were circulating that the second son of the Gu family had problems with his political background check, the next minute his fiancée moved into the Gu family compound. This reversal was so fast that it caught everyone off guard.
Zhang Huilan held Su Yue's hand, looking at her with delight and showering her with concern, as if she wanted to cherish her like the apple of her eye.
"Yueyue, look at your face. You've gotten so thin from being exposed to the wind and sun on Hainan Island." Zhang Huilan said with heartache, bringing over a bowl of freshly stewed bird's nest. "Quickly, drink it while it's hot. This is something Mom specially prepared for you to help you recover."
Su Yue accepted it with a smile, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
"Mom, Beichen is taking good care of me, I haven't lost weight."
"What does a grown man like him know!" Zhang Huilan pouted. "If he knew anything, he wouldn't have let you come all the way to the capital to suffer like this! This isn't over. When he gets back, I'm going to give him a good talking to!"
Just then, an unusual engine roar suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
Immediately following were the guards' hurried footsteps and suppressed excitement in their voices.
"Commander, Madam, the second young master is back!"
Before the words were even finished, a tall and imposing figure rushed in, looking travel-worn.
Gu Beichen was wearing a training uniform, his brows and eyes showing signs of weariness and fatigue, but the moment he saw Su Yue, his deep eyes flashed with an amazing light.
He ignored everyone in the living room and strode straight up to Su Yue.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, he pulled Su Yue into a tight embrace, the force almost as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
The man's chest was firm and warm, carrying a familiar scent.
Su Yue could clearly feel his rapid heartbeat.
"I am coming."
Gu Beichen rested his chin on the top of her head, his voice hoarse, filled with lingering fear and relief.
"Don't be afraid."
These three simple words are more comforting than any sweet talk.
Su Yue's eyes welled up with tears, and she reached back to hug his lean waist.
In the living room, the Gu family members watched this scene with knowing smiles.
Grandma Gu, in particular, looked at her usually calm and reserved grandson, who was now showing no sign of emotion, and nodded in satisfaction.
This granddaughter-in-law, you're not mistaken, she can definitely handle this guy.
To welcome Su Yue and celebrate the couple's upcoming wedding, the Gu family prepared a lavish family feast that evening.
The family was enjoying a happy time together when a stylish, unconventional young man suddenly barged in.
"I'm not late, am I?"
The newcomer was dressed in a white polyester shirt and bell-bottoms, with his hair slicked back and wearing large sunglasses, which clashed with the serious style of the entire Gu family compound.
"Bei Xiao? What brings you here?" Gu Beihan stood up in surprise.
"I heard that my second brother brought back the legendary second sister-in-law. How could I not come and see her?"
The young man took off his glasses, revealing a handsome face that bore a resemblance to Gu Beichen, but was even more flamboyant and unconventional. He was Gu Beichen's cousin, Gu Beixiao, who was doing very well in the military family compound.
His eyes darted around, then his gaze locked onto Su Yue beside Gu Beichen, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Yo!"
He rushed over, taking three steps at a time, and greeted her familiarly, "Hello, Second Sister-in-law! I'm Gu Beixiao, you can just call me Xiao Xiao!"
Su Yue was amused by his enthusiasm: "Hello."
"Oh my, my second brother, that blockhead, has finally seen the light!" Gu Beixiao exclaimed in amazement, looking Su Yue up and down, making no attempt to hide his admiration. "Second brother, you've finally got the eye right this time! You're so much better than some fake fairies who wear the skin of a well-bred lady but are full of scheming inside!"
These words were pointed, causing Shen Qingqing's face to turn even paler.
After the meal, Gu Beixiao secretly pulled Su Yue aside and spoke mysteriously.
"Second sister-in-law, I have something to tell you, so keep it in mind."
He dropped his nonchalant demeanor, his expression unusually serious.
"Don't be fooled by Chu Jingya's respectable appearance and polite manner; you should be wary of her."
