With the witnesses of Elder Bai, Elder Gu, and Madam Gu, Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo were officially engaged.
Old Master Gu sighed, “Back then, when Elder Huo Yuanshan and my father arranged a marriage between the children of the Gu and Huo families, they certainly did not expect that even without that marriage certificate, these two children would still be able to meet, get to know each other, and fall in love.”
Madam Gu's eyes welled up with tears from her excitement.
"Seeing that Seventh Brother's life-long marriage has been settled, the huge weight on my heart has finally been lifted."
Old Bai sighed, "You guys are better off than me. Your grandsons are still your own grandsons, and you even have a granddaughter-in-law to bring home. My granddaughter, on the other hand, has completely become someone else's. They say that once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a bowl. I only truly understand that now."
Old Gu felt a surge of secret joy. Men can understand men's thoughts better, so he completely understood Old Bai's feeling of emptiness after his precious treasure was stolen.
Even if you're secretly overjoyed, you still have to offer a few words of comfort on the surface.
“Brother Bai, even if Qianmo marries into the Gu family in the future, as long as she misses you, she can still go back to visit you anytime. Besides, she will have another grandson-in-law. Isn’t that wonderful?”
"Hehe, okay!" Old Bai forced a smile, but couldn't manage a genuine laugh.
His gaze turned toward Gu Zhizhou and Qin Lin, the couple.
Although Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu approved of the marriage, Qin Lin was clearly suppressed by the two elders of the Gu family and had no say.
She must have really disapproved of this marriage.
"I'm afraid that my Bai family is a small and humble family, and Qianmo will be looked down upon if she marries into our family!"
Old Master Gu's expression turned cold: "Qianmo married into my Gu family through proper channels, and she is rightfully Gu family daughter-in-law. I will be the first to punish anyone who dares to look down on her."
After saying that, Po gave Qin Lin a meaningful glare.
Qin Lin frowned. What was she looking at?
The son she carried for ten months turned his back on his mother, forgetting all about her before he even got married.
Her in-laws don't favor her either. Is there any future mother-in-law who is worse off than her?
She hasn't even complained yet, and now that the new bride hasn't even entered the house, they're already setting rules for her?
Qin Lin felt more and more wronged, especially when she saw the shiny wedding ring on Bai Qianmo's hand, which looked particularly irritating.
She rubbed her slightly throbbing temples and said, "Dad, Mom, I suddenly feel unwell, so I'm going home now."
Gu Zhizhou quickly helped Qin Lin up: "What happened? She was fine just now."
Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo walked over.
Gu Jueye glanced at Qin Lin and knew she was faking it.
"How about we call Dr. Pei? He lives nearby and can be here in five minutes."
Dr. Pei is the private doctor of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, and he lives in the compound.
Gu Zhizhou, unaware that Qin Lin was faking illness, nodded anxiously: "Then let's call Dr. Pei."
"No need! Um... I just had a high blood pressure flare-up. I was in a rush to leave today and forgot to take my medicine. I'll be fine after I take it and rest for a while when I get back."
Old Madam Gu noticed something was wrong and knew that Qin Lin was feeling down and wanted to leave.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
"Then Mom and Dad, I'll take Qin Lin home first."
Before leaving, Gu Zhizhou looked at Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo.
"Now that we're engaged, we still need to have an engagement ceremony. Come home sometime and we can discuss how to hold it."
Bai Qianmo tugged at Gu Jueye's sleeve.
Gu Jueye glanced at Bai Qianmo and immediately understood what she meant.
"Qianmo is still in the rising stage of her career, and we don't plan to announce the engagement for the time being!"
Before Gu Zhizhou could speak, Qin Lin, who was pretending to be sick, immediately let out a displeased snort.
"Hmph, what future can a minor celebrity have in the entertainment industry? Can you become a billionaire by acting? I think this is just a waste of time. Since you chose to marry into our Gu family, you'd better behave yourself and stop spending your days..."
"Ah Ye's mother, aren't you sick?" Old Madam Gu interrupted Qin Lin in time.
Old Master Bai's complexion was already quite bad at this moment.
"Mom, since Qianmo is my future daughter-in-law, there are some rules of the Gu family that she should know in advance. After all, the Gu family is a large family. As a daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she should maintain the reputation of the Gu family in front of outsiders."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jueye's expression turned quite grim.
"You've already disgraced the Gu family today. I think you'd better take care of yourself first."
"Ah Ye, are you even my own son? Why do you always side with outsiders?"
"If I didn't help you, and Huo Xiuxiu successfully escaped today, do you know the consequences of Fengxun's bankruptcy? Huo Xiuxiu is the suitable marriage partner you chose for me?"
Qin Lin was rendered speechless by Gu Jueye's retort.
It's all my fault for being too eager to break up A-Ye and Bai Qianmo, which is why I was deceived by Huo Xiuxiu.
Thinking of this, Qin Lin glared resentfully at Bai Qianmo.
He said defiantly, "Fine, from now on I won't concern myself with your affairs."
After saying that, Qin Lin stormed off.
When Gu Zhizhou saw this, he also felt that Qin Lin had gone a bit too far.
"Your mother has a bad temper and speaks too bluntly, so don't take it too hard."
Bai Qianmo remained silent. When she chose to accept Gu Jueye's marriage proposal, she was prepared to face Qin Lin sooner or later.
After Gu Zhizhou left in a hurry, Old Bai, whose face was already ashen, stood up with his cane.
"Grandpa!" Bai Qianmo stepped forward to help him up.
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu stood up together.
“Brother Bai, A-Ye’s mother does have some opinions about Qian Mo, but I believe that once she has more contact with Qian Mo, her opinion will definitely change.”
