Rong Shi was reluctant to disturb her, and she didn't wake up until almost 11 a.m. When Rong Shi saw that she was awake, he quickly got up, went over and kissed her cheek, then picked her up from the quilt and took great care of her to get dressed and wash up.
Gu Chu only realized something was wrong after Rong Shi hung up on her phone several times.
Sure enough, after Rong Shi hung up the phone in front of her for the third time, her phone rang. Gu Chu answered and learned that Rong Shi's parents had arrived at her parents' home and were urging them to hurry up. Rong Shi hadn't told her this and even seemed so calm.
Gu Chu got anxious and, after hanging up the phone, punched Rong Shi twice in the chest. Rong Shi grabbed her little fists, blew on them, and kissed them gently, while comforting her not to worry.
Gu Chu hurriedly tidied herself up, choosing a bright red retro-style fitted cheongsam paired with a light, long white down coat.
Although the weather in JC Province is very cold right now, and it's even snowing outside, living in a prestigious family like the Rong family means there's heating in the car when you go out and heating in the house when you go inside, so there's no need to worry about being cold.
Upon stepping outside, I saw an unfamiliar face and an unfamiliar luxury car.
"Chu Chu, this is Xiao Hu, the Rong family's driver." Rong Shi led Gu Chu towards the luxury car while introducing her in a low voice.
Upon seeing the two approach, the driver greeted them respectfully and warmly: "Young Master, Young Madam, Happy New Year!"
Rong Shi nodded to the driver, and Gu Chu smiled and politely greeted him, "Happy New Year!"
The driver opened the back door for the two of them. Gu Chu was amazed by the interior design, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This is a black Rolls-Royce Phantom. The driver's cabin and the rear seats are completely separate, with an electronic partition in between. When the partition is raised, it can be used as a TV, and when it is lowered, the rear seats can see the driver's cabin and the road conditions ahead.
As soon as he got on the bus, Rong Shi raised the partition.
"It'll take half an hour to get there. Do you want to watch TV?" Rong Shi asked.
"Mm." Gu Chu nodded.
As the car started, Gu Chu's gaze fell on the television on the partition, but her thoughts drifted far away.
The thought of meeting that unapproachable and influential figure in a short time made Gu Chu inexplicably nervous.
"Rongshi, does your maternal grandmother have many relatives?" Gu Chu asked, looking at Rongshi.
"There aren't many. It's just my uncle, aunt, cousin, and brother-in-law. There are only ten of us in total. Don't be nervous, I'm here for you." Rong Shi said, reaching out to hold her hand.
Seeing this, Gu Chu subconsciously leaned against Rong Shi's chest. "It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous. My maternal grandfather is a prominent figure, and my uncles also have powerful backgrounds."
"Don't worry, they are all reasonable people, and besides, these people are all your backers," Rong Shi reassured her.
Gu Chu looked up at him, feigning surprise: "I suddenly realized you've become quite the charmer."
Rong Shi's gaze was deep, with a surge of desire in his eyes, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Is it sweet? Would you like to try some more?"
In the back compartment, a TV series was still playing on the partition screen, and two people in the back seat were passionately kissing.
The two are now like a couple deeply in love, always clinging to each other. Even Gu Chu didn't realize that she had become completely unlike herself. The Gu Chu who used to be clear-headed and lucid was now coquettish and sweet in Rong Shi's honey pot.
The Fang family's house is located next to the earliest development zone in T City. Half an hour later, the luxury car slowly drove into the Fang residence.
Looking at the snow scene outside the window, Gu Chu inexplicably thought of a line of poetry: "Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom."
When they arrived at the Fang family's house, it was already 12:30 pm. Everyone was waiting for them, which made Gu Chu feel very embarrassed.
A large group of servants stood at the villa entrance, all eager to see which lucky girl had married the young master of the Rong family.
Gu Chu got out of the car and was led inside by Rong Shi in full view of everyone. As soon as she entered, she saw that the living room was full of people.
Compared to the curious gazes of the servants outside, Gu Chu was clearly more nervous about the stares from everyone inside the room.
Especially Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang.
The two elderly people's eyes immediately fell on Gu Chu.
Mr. Fang was over 60 years old, and his black hair was obviously dyed. He had sharp and keen eyes and was full of energy. Perhaps because he had been in a high position for a long time, he exuded an aura of authority without anger, and when he didn't speak, he gave people a sense of oppression.
Madam Fang was also over 60 years old. She was very well-maintained and wore light makeup. Her already delicate features made her look like a woman in her fifties who still had a charming demeanor. She also had an undeniable noble air about her, and every move she made was dignified and elegant, as if it came from her very bones.
As soon as the two entered, a servant came forward.
Rong Shi took off Gu Chu's coat and handed it to a maid, then took off her own coat and gave it to another maid. The two maids hung their coats on a coat rack nearby.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma!" Rong Shi led Gu Chu to stand in front of the Fang couple and bowed.
"Chu Chu, these are your maternal grandparents," Rong Shi introduced to Gu Chu.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma! May you always be happy and have all your wishes fulfilled!" Gu Chu imitated Rong Shi and bowed to the two elders in a very proper manner.
Grandpa Fang said calmly, "Yes, please sit down!"
"Chu Chu, come here, let Grandma take a look." Old Madam Fang smiled and waved to Gu Chu.
Rong Shi released Gu Chu's hand affectionately and gave her a reassuring look, and Gu Chu then smiled and went over.
Old Madam Fang took Gu Chu's hand and looked her over with loving eyes: "You're really pretty, and you have a blessed face."
Gu Chu felt uneasy. She could see in Old Master Fang's eyes that he was clearly dissatisfied with her.
It was also her identity that made it very inappropriate for her to marry into a powerful family like the Rong family. She was well aware of this. The Rong family was not just an ordinary wealthy family; in addition to being rich, they were also a powerful and influential family, practically royalty in JC province.
