Chapter 7 What a Good Wife
The next day, Su Jiuyao and Gu Hanye returned to the Gu family's old house and formally met her parents-in-law as the Gu family's daughter-in-law.
After entering the Gu family's antique mahogany door, Su Jiuyao asked, "By the way, is Gu Tianqi here?"
Gu Hanye turned his head and looked at her: "Are you afraid of seeing him?"
Su Jiuyao shook her head, "I just feel that meeting is awkward."
"Don't worry, he's not here."
In fact, Gu Hanye didn't want Gu Tianqi and Jiuyao to meet.
Gu Tianqi had humiliated Jiuyao in public the day before. If he spoke rudely to Jiuyao again when they met, Gu Hanye would not let him go. After all, Jiuyao was already his wife.
This was the first time Jiuyao went back to the old house with him, and Gu Hanye didn't want to cause any unpleasantness.
After hearing Gu Hanye's answer, Su Jiuyao felt relieved and was in the mood to observe Gu's house.
The Gu family mansion is different from the Su family's European style. It is more like a Chinese garden style, with pavilions and waterside terraces, and a new scene at every step. Su Jiuyao likes it very much.
The two of them walked on the covered bridge. Gu Hanye saw the twinkle in her eyes and asked with a smile, "Do you like this architectural style?"
Su Jiuyao nodded, "It feels very peaceful."
"You and my grandfather have the same taste. This house was built when my grandparents got married."
Su Jiuyao knew that Grandpa Gu was still alive, but she didn't see the old man at the engagement ceremony, so she asked curiously, "Is Grandpa at home today?"
Gu Hanye laughed and said that he hadn't seen the old man for more than half a year.
After leaving the group, my grandfather lived a life of leisure and ease. Recently, he went to an island with his friends and lived a leisurely life of fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days.
Su Jiuyao couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and felt that Grandpa Gu was a very free and interesting old man.
As they talked, the two came to the main hall.
The moment Gu Changhai saw Su Jiuyao, he was also stunned.
This daughter-in-law is not only not ugly, she has a stunning beauty that can topple a country!
At the engagement party the day before, he still felt that Su Jiuyao was not worthy of his son, but now looking at her this way, he felt that his son had taken advantage of her.
But she is just pretty, and probably has lived in the mountains for a long time, so she doesn't have much talent.
Never mind, I can't have them all. Gu Changhai thought to himself.
After looking at Su Jiuyao, Chen Xiaofeng sighed inwardly.
What a nice girl, gentle and pretty, she is clearly a pearl hidden in the sand.
Unfortunately, Tianqi was blind and missed the opportunity. Now Gu Hanye got the advantage, not only marrying such a beautiful wife, but also winning the favor of Gu Changhai.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaofeng felt envious and jealous.
Later, when talking about their wedding, Gu Hanye and Su Jiuyao both expressed their decision not to hold a wedding because they did not like those complicated ceremonies.
Gu Changhai felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it. He handed the red envelope he had prepared in advance to Su Jiuyao.
"Since you're not having a ceremony, consider this your honeymoon fund!"
Su Jiuyao was a little hesitant. In fact, she was just a temporary daughter-in-law, and Gu Changhai's red envelope must be a large sum. She should not take this money.
Gu Hanye smiled and said to her, "This is a gift from Dad. Just take it. You're welcome."
Su Jiuyao thought about it and took it respectfully, thinking that as long as she didn't touch the money, she could return it intact when they divorced in the future.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Still calling me uncle?" Gu Changhai said with a smile.
Su Jiuyao lowered her head embarrassedly, "Thank you, Dad."
Gu Hanye on the side couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling happy.
You know what, the little wild cat seems like a good daughter-in-law.
Chen Xiaofeng is Gu Hanye's stepmother, but she is also Su Jiuyao's mother-in-law, so she also sent a gift, a pair of valuable jade earrings.
Su Jiuyao accepted the gift, but was a little embarrassed. What should she call her? Gu Hanye always called her "Auntie Chen", so should she change her name?
Chen Xiaofeng was a smart woman, and she was the first to speak up to help: "From now on, just follow Han Ye and call me Auntie."
She truly loved this girl, and felt that only a girl like her could form a family with her unruly son. Alas, what a pity...
In short, she didn't want to make things too difficult for Su Jiuyao.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Gu Hanye prepared to leave.
He could see that his little wife was very shy and he didn't want to have dinner with his stepmother, so he stood up and said goodbye to his father.
Gu Changhai knew his son's character and did not force him to stay.
When they arrived outside the mansion and were about to get in the car, Gu Hanye remembered that a document was with his father, so he turned back to get it and asked Su Jiuyao to wait for him for a while.
There was a lake opposite the Gu family residence, so Su Jiuyao walked to the lakeside to enjoy the view.
Looking at the red carp in the lake, she thought of her two moonlight butterflies and wondered what happened to the two little guys.
Although someone was helping to take care of them, she was still a little worried. After all, she had raised the two little fish for more than five years and had developed a strong attachment to them. She was afraid that something might go wrong.
Just as she was thinking about when to go back to Mingchan Temple, a sudden and violent brake sound interrupted her thoughts.
Turning around, I unexpectedly saw Gu Tianqi getting out of the car.
The two were only about ten meters apart. The moment their eyes met, Gu Tianqi was stunned.
