Although Madam Fang seemed very enthusiastic towards her, Gu Chu could sense a hint of disdain within that enthusiasm.
Unlike her previous meeting with the Rong family elders, the Rong family genuinely accepted her as their daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law). However, the Fang family was somewhat disappointed in her, probably because they felt she was not good enough for Rong Shi and that Rong Shi should marry a young lady from a similar family background.
Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt!
Afterwards, Rong Shi led Gu Chu to greet everyone one by one.
Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! Wishing you prosperity and all your wishes come true!
"Alright, alright, everyone, please sit down!"
"Cousin Fang Meiyi, brother-in-law Lu Nanfeng," Rong Shi introduced to Gu Chu.
Gu Chu greeted everyone with a smile: "Happy New Year!"
Then, the maid announced that dinner was ready.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, but Gu Chu could always sense a hint of indifference amidst the lively atmosphere. Fortunately, Rong Shi always took special care of her, which made that slight feeling of indifference disappear.
After dinner, the five men went upstairs to the study, while the five women chatted in the living room.
In the study, Old Master Fang sighed: "Xizhi, the Fang family and the Rong family have been engaged in political marriages for generations, which is the fundamental reason why the two families have been able to stand at the top."
“Dad, don’t worry, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings,” said Mr. Rong.
Rong Shi said very seriously, "Grandpa, Chu Chu is a good person. I don't want my marriage to have any other purpose. Even if I were in politics, I would not marry and have children for personal gain. My wife only needs to be someone I like, nothing else matters."
Grandpa Fang glanced at him and said helplessly, "Alright, now that things have come to this, whatever makes you happy."
Rong Shi smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa!"
Uncle Fang asked with great curiosity, "What kind of work does she do now?"
Rong Shi answered truthfully: "She opened a flower shop."
Uncle Fang then asked, "What about academic qualifications?"
"Everyone can rest assured. Chu Chu has been smart since she was a child. She graduated from university at the age of 20 and is currently on leave from graduate school for some reason." Rong Shi said concisely.
Grandpa Fang then asked, "Is she willing to take the civil service exam?"
Rong Shi: "She has this idea and is currently working on it. Chu Chu is a very kind, reasonable, and righteous person. With her help, City C has cracked several espionage cases."
"That's good. You're the only son of the Rong family. Now that you've joined the army, the Rong family can only feel at ease handing over the power to their own people," said Old Master Fang with a sigh of relief.
Rong's father chimed in, "Dad, don't worry. Even if Chu Chu doesn't go into politics, my grandchildren can take over in the future."
"Yes, I can carve out my own path without the help of others. Now that we are married, Chu Chu is my family. I hope you can treat Chu Chu the same way you treat me, accept her, and be tolerant of her."
