The girls were so frightened that they immediately fell silent.
Gu Tingzhi kicked over the table and, without waiting for anyone to react, turned and left.
Gu Tao and the others reacted, furious. Gu Tao chased after them, shouting, "Stop! You little beast, you..."
"Let him go!"
Upstairs, the old man spoke, and Gu Tao immediately stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the old man on the second floor, "Dad?"
I told him to leave!
Xu Honghua and the others finally got to their feet. Hearing this, they were so angry they almost screamed, "Grandpa, this little beast is so insolent, you can't..."
"Shut up!"
At this moment, Old Master Gu's gaze toward Xu Honghua was more ruthless than ever before. It was all because of this woman. If she hadn't been so jealous and caused the deaths of Gu Tingzhi's elder brother and mother, Gu Tingzhi wouldn't be so hostile toward the Gu family now.
"You all need to remember this: he is also a descendant of the Gu family, a descendant who has rendered meritorious service to the Gu family and earned glory. From now on, when you see him, be polite to him!"
After saying that, the old man turned and went back to his study.
The lobby downstairs was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was too scared to utter a sound, and even their breathing was barely audible.
Xu Honghua's face turned ashen; she had never felt so humiliated in all these years.
Gu Tingzhi!!!
When the Gu family returned to the Lu family's place, it was lunchtime there, and the food was already on the table.
When Meng Fuyan saw him, she smiled and said, "You're back! Perfect timing, dinner's ready!"
Looking at the food on the table, all of which were home-style dishes, he felt that they looked and smelled delicious. He was very hungry and had a great appetite.
The two little ones were rolling around on the ground, hugging the rabbit, covered in mud. The nanny and Meng Yunji carried them and washed their hands. After finally getting them clean, they came over to eat.
Lu Guozhong and Meng Suqin came out of the house, still talking in hushed tones, probably discussing something.
The family sat down to eat. Lu Guozhong looked at Gu Tingzhi and asked, "I heard the Gu family asked you to come back. You don't look like you've been beaten up. Why did they let you come back so easily?"
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "Father-in-law, please rest assured, the Gu family's affairs are nothing, they can't stump me."
Lu Guozhong asked curiously, "How did you convince that old man?"
"My grandfather values profit above all else. As long as I'm capable enough, he won't do anything to me. As for the others, they're no match for me, so you can rest assured!"
Lu Guozhong raised an eyebrow and didn't ask any more questions.
He glanced at his daughter and said, "Don't be afraid of those people. If they bully you, just fight back. Their fathers aren't as powerful as yours!"
Meng Fuyan immediately burst out laughing, "Thank you, Dad!"
Lu Guozhong was powerful enough, and the Gu family did not object, so those who wanted to cause trouble were naturally nipped in the bud. Therefore, the wedding went very smoothly.
Meng Suqin has been very busy these past few days, working every day and also helping her daughter prepare her dowry.
She only has one daughter, so why should she keep a low profile?
How is that possible?
These days, it's impossible to bring a house and car as a dowry, and it's also impossible to show off the jewelry and ornaments in the house. Girls usually bring pots and pans as a dowry when they get married. What kind of dowry is that?
Compared to the past, it's a complete disaster!
Before the wedding, Gu Tingzhi took his betrothal gifts.
Because the item was special, it wasn't shown to outsiders. It was taken upstairs at the Lu family's house, where only Lu Guozhong and Meng Suqin were present, besides him and Meng Fuyan.
The box was opened, revealing a series of velvet boxes in various colors. He took out ten of them at once and opened them one by one, placing them in front of the group.
"Dad, Mom, this is my betrothal gift for Yanyan."
Ten complete sets of jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, bangles, rings, forehead ornaments, anklets, and brooches.
They are all different styles, different colors, and different materials.
But they are all equally dazzling.
Women have no resistance to jewelry, and the moment Meng Fuyan and Meng Suqin saw these jewels, their eyes lit up.
"Ah! So beautiful!"
The mother and daughter each took a necklace and held it up to themselves.
Meng Fuyan exclaimed in surprise, "When did you buy this? I didn't even know!"
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "After being away for so many years, I started preparing a long time ago. It's just that the production time was different and it wasn't easy to collect all these materials. I collected one set at a time and made a set of them. They were specially made and delivered to me. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you!"
As he spoke, he took out several other, larger boxes.
"That's Western style. These are more Chinese style. See if you like them?"
The following styles are more classical, featuring gold, gold inlaid with jade, and most notably, jade.
There are twelve sets in total.
This includes hair ornaments, hairpins, hair sticks, beaded flowers, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings.
Each set is different, with many matching accessories, and you can change your hairstyle several times with each set.
Such jewelry is rarely seen these days.
Classic jewelry is either in museums, destroyed, or carefully hidden away by knowledgeable people.
The sparkling new jewelry was so eye-catching that the mother and daughter could hardly take their eyes off it.
Lu Guozhong watched from the side and sighed. Sure enough, no matter how rich a woman is, her eyes are always the same when she sees jewelry.
"Some of the overseas properties were registered under Yanyan's name when they were purchased. As for savings, a considerable amount was also deposited into her account. I have already handed over the passbooks for the bonuses I received after returning. These cannot be shown to others, so I told my parents in secret."
