Chapter 362: Now that the marriage has been proposed, can marriage be far away?
Lu Ziting became more and more heartbroken by her parents' attitude, and what was even more tragic was that no one comforted her.
Lu Ziting always goes out because she feels depressed staying at home, but when she goes out she is looked at strangely by everyone. Even those who used to get along well with her are no longer willing to play with her.
The main reason is that Zhuo Yao is too stupid, and Lu Ziting was like Zhuo Yao before. No one has much hope for a daughter raised by Zhuo Yao, and they think that if they marry someone like this, the family might be ruined.
Lu Ziting's situation changed instantly. She used to be picky, but now it was her turn to be picked. People who were similar to her looked down on her. People whom she had offended in the past would bully her for no reason.
Lu Ziting felt very aggrieved and went to find Lu Yuan, trying to stop him from marrying Gu Qing and also wanting him to help her get revenge. However, Lu Yuan ignored her completely, just like before, treating her as if he didn't have a sister.
Lu Ziting did not receive any love from Lu Yuan, but she witnessed with her own eyes how good he was to Gu Qingshi. He was such an impatient man, yet he personally went to select flowers for Gu Qingshi every day.
This is just a small thing. There are many other people who are good to Gu Qingshi. Lu Yuan is good to Gu Qingshi, Fang Wen is also good to Gu Qingshi, everyone is good to Gu Qingshi, which is a world of difference compared to her.
Lu Ziting hated it so much, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't even have anyone to talk to. She looked for Lu Yuan again, and even imitated what Gu Qingshi had done before and brought some fruits to Lu Yuan, but was ruthlessly rejected again. Lu Ziting couldn't help crying after she came out.
While she was crying, a handkerchief was suddenly handed to her. Lu Ziting took it without thinking much. When she looked up, she found that the person who handed her the handkerchief was Lu Ziyu.
After being kicked out, Lu Ziyu tried to go back to the Lu family as a driver but to no avail. He then disappeared for a while. This time when he reappeared, Lu Ziyu's hand was still not healed and he had lost a lot of weight, but he looked in good spirits.
When Lu Ziting saw Lu Ziyu's face change, she threw the handkerchief she had used to wipe her tears and snot back to him, "Who asked you to be so hypocritical? If it weren't for your biological mother, if it weren't for you, my family wouldn't have become like this!"
There was a hint of gloom in Lu Ziyu's eyes, but he didn't show it. He just lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I can only say sorry, I shouldn't have come up, but I couldn't help it when I saw you so sad. Ziting, tell me what's bothering you, I'll help you as long as I can."
Lu Ziting looked at Lu Ziyu's sincere eyes and finally stopped scolding, "What can you do to help me?"
This sentence made Lu Ziyu's expression change again, but he still endured it. This time when he moved out, he learned to be more patient. His way to go back to the Lu family was blocked, and he didn't want to starve to death so he could only go to Shi Shulan.
Shi Shulan still had some money in her hands, and since she still counted on Lu Ziyu's help, she gave it to Lu Ziyu. He didn't starve to death because of Shi Shulan's money, but living off the money was not a solution. After thinking it over again and again, he finally set his sights on Lu Ziting.
The result was not bad. Although Lu Ziting kept speaking harshly, she didn't drive him away.
He also knew that Lu Yuan was going to get married, which made him hate him even more. Why could Lu Yuan get everything he wanted and marry his beloved? He refused to accept it.
Lu Ziyu and Lu Ziting got together again in private, but Lu Yuan didn't know about it because he was busy proposing marriage.
Although Gu Qingshi agreed to marry him, it did not mean that they could get married immediately. There were still many steps to take before marriage. For example, they had to propose first, and Bai Zhong and the others had to be willing to marry Qingshi to him.
Lu Yuan showed his utmost sincerity, and after everything was ready, he asked Qing Shi to check it. He was afraid that there might be something in the preparations that Bai Zhong and the others would not like.
Gu Qingshi saw a room full of things and asked, "You mean these are what you're going to bring with you when you propose marriage?"
"Yes, if you see anything that is inappropriate or I don't have prepared, just let me know and I'll go buy it."
Gu Qingshi held his forehead and said, "There are so many now, why are you still buying them? I've never seen so many things when proposing marriage. This doesn't seem to work." How can he not want to give away all the good things when he just proposed marriage?
Gu Qingshi felt warm in her heart but didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lu Yuan made such preparations because he valued her respect for her uncle and aunt. She was very happy but also a little helpless.
With his attitude, will he have to empty the house when the betrothal gifts come?
Lu Yuan was puzzled, "No?" He had only heard that taking too little is not allowed, but taking too much is also not allowed?
"I'm not sure either. I need to ask someone who knows."
Since Gu Qingshi said so, Lu Yuan could only ask for help from Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu had previously told Lu Yuan to look for him if he needed help, but Lu Yuan never did, thinking he could do it himself. However, he almost went wrong right at the beginning.
"Of course there are some rules and taboos when proposing marriage. You don't need to bring very expensive gifts when proposing marriage. This is just a meeting between the parents of both parties to confirm the marriage. Just prepare some small gifts, but they can't be too expensive."
Lu Yuan frowned when he heard this. There was actually such a requirement that the gift should not be too expensive. He reluctantly agreed, "Okay, Grandpa, it doesn't require both sets of parents, right? Can't I go by myself?"
Bai Zhen is unreliable, and Qingshi had cut off contact with her a long time ago. He didn't even want her to know about the marriage proposal. Fortunately, Qingshi also has an uncle and aunt who are like his parents.
He hadn't thought of letting Lu Qi and Zhuo Yao appear, and they were not happy about it either.
"Of course not. You have elders." Mr. Lu was very unhappy. "Aren't you going to let me go?"
Grandpa Lu didn't count on Lu Qi and Zhuo Yao, so he had already prepared to go on stage as his grandson's elders. He even changed his clothes several times. He didn't expect Lu Yuan to want to go alone!
Lu Yuan sensed something was wrong and immediately denied it, "No, no, I just wanted you to go."
"Is that almost right? Then when have you decided on a date? You have to hurry up, otherwise it will be July. You can't propose marriage in the first or seventh month of the lunar calendar."
Lu Yuan heard a new rule, "It turns out July can't go."
"No, you can't. It's almost July. You have to hurry up if you want to propose. When you discuss the date, remember that it's best to propose on an even number in the lunar calendar, or on an even number in both the lunar and Gregorian calendars."
Lu Yuan has experienced the benefits of having an old man at home, and he nodded immediately after hearing this, "Okay, I understand, Grandpa."
It really is beneficial to ask grandfather in advance. Lu Yuan wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead and told Gu Qingshi everything he had found out. He looked at the newly prepared things he had brought for the marriage proposal and felt a little uncertain.
"Qingshi, are these things missing a little?"
"No, you're right to listen to Grandpa. That's basically what everyone knows. Just listen to him."
Lu Yuan nodded reluctantly, "Okay then."
Gu Qingshi looked at Lu Yuan and chuckled, "I've only heard of people getting angry because they had to prepare too many things, but I've never seen people getting unhappy because they had to prepare too few things. Lu Yuan, aren't you afraid that I will keep bringing things to my parents' house in the future? Aren't you afraid that I will empty your family's assets?"
