"My daughter Wenyi is certainly blessed. She grew up surrounded by good fortune and has excellent taste in boyfriends."
Not only is he handsome and dashing, but he's also incredibly good to her. He's an orphan, so after they get married, there won't be any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues; the young couple can make their own decisions. He's truly a rare find.
These words made both of them look very unhappy, because they both had various troubles in their husbands' families.
Geng Yidan deliberately said, "To be honest, with your family and Wenyi's excellent conditions, you could find someone even better. However, money can't buy a willing heart, and since he'll be an orphan anyway, could he possibly marry into the family?"
Zhang Zhili glanced upstairs discreetly and said in a slightly raised voice, "It would be great if I married into the family; the children could even take the Zhou family's surname."
Mr. Zhou always doted on his daughter, and with his future son-in-law upstairs, he wouldn't allow anyone to make a fuss and cause trouble.
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak! What era are we living in that old-fashioned practice of sons-in-law marrying into families!"
Economic status determines family standing. Because Zhou's father was the richest among the relatives, when he put on a stern face and scolded someone, everyone else fell silent.

The Zhou family prepared a lot of ingredients in advance to welcome their future son-in-law.
Besides flying and land animals, there were also king crab, abalone, sea cucumber, and many other dishes, making for a total of sixteen dishes, an exceptionally lavish spread.

Gu Wei knew his own limits and didn't try to overdo it, stopping when he was done.
This, on the contrary, earned him an approving look from Zhou's father.
The two gifts Gu Wei gave were not only valuable and to his liking, but also earned Zhou's parents envy, jealousy, and hatred in front of many relatives.
After the meal, Gu Wei received a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan and a watch worth over 500,000 yuan.
Of course, the moment I received it, I estimated the approximate amount based on the thickness of the red envelope.
As for the understated yet luxurious brand-name men's watch, he didn't know its exact price.
