Chapter 222 Wedding Date

Yuan Xiao stood up, eager to tell Gu Lanting about this.

She had no evidence, so she relied entirely on speculation.

But if this speculation was true, it would be too shocking.

Li Yang didn't know what she was thinking, and asked timidly: "Yuan Xiao, do you know where my two children are? Can I see them?"

Yuan Xiao shook her head firmly, "No! Sister Li Yang, you have to forget what we just said. You just need to know that your children are safe. Fu Yuanping has set his sights on me. If you contact Zhong Li and Zhong Yang, he will definitely know."

Li Yang agreed, "Then what should I do now?"

"You are what you are usually like now. I need to find someone to discuss it. Come to me in a few days. By the way, there is one more thing I don't understand. Why did Fu Yuanping let you get close to Pei Yaowen?"

What does this have to do with the Pei family?

If you need help, wouldn't it be better to find Pei Yaoqing? Pei Yaowen doesn't look very smart at first glance.

Li Yang looked depressed and whispered, "I know very little. At first, he asked me to get close to Pei Yaowen as if he wanted to cooperate with him, but later he didn't seem to care much about Pei Yaowen. Fu Yuanping has changed a lot. Sometimes I think the Fu Yuanping I interacted with is two different people..."

Yuan Xiao didn't ask any more questions, but asked her to go back first.

Gu Lanting usually came to her house every few days. Yuan Xiao didn't want to go out, so she waited for him at home.

As soon as she saw Gu Lanting, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but tell him about Fu Yuanping.

If Fu Yuanping and Zhong Xiaofeng teamed up to kill Zhong Xiaoqi, there could only be one reason, that is, Zhong Xiaoqi knew something he shouldn't know.

If the bag of "flour" was drugs, then this made sense.

But it is unbelievable that a man of Fu Yuanping's identity is actually a drug dealer.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Lanting patted her head, "Xiaoxiao is very smart."

Yuan Xiao was stunned, "You even know this?"

"I sent someone to follow Cheng Feng and found that Cheng Feng had contact with Fu Yuanping's people."

Without waiting for Yuan Xiao to respond, he said, "You told me before that someone frequently approached your store and said that they wanted to consign something to your store?"

Yuan Xiao nodded, "Yes, I asked Brother Bingzi to refuse."

"You have made contributions to the country and can open doors in many places. Fu Yuanping probably has his eyes on your business. Using the store as a cover to commit crimes openly is his purpose. Even the last dryer incident was his attempt to get your business through Pei Yaowen."

However, there is no evidence.

These are just speculations.

Gu Lanting squeezed her hand, "You don't need to get involved in these things. Fu Yuanping is a mad dog. This is not a joke. The last time Cheng Feng took us away from that village, I sent people to check again. Everyone in the village was dead."

Yuan Xiao was shocked and felt cold in her heart, "All dead? Why?"

Gu Lanting said coldly, "Shut up. So, don't interfere in this matter anymore. Leave it to me. You just need to prepare to be a bride."

"The date hasn't been set yet!" Yuan Xiao pouted.

Gu Lanting laughed, "So Xiaoxiao is already looking forward to it so much?"

Yuan Xiao stamped his feet and said fiercely, "Who is looking forward to it? It's obviously you who is looking forward to it."

Gu Lanting's face was much thicker than hers, "I am indeed looking forward to it."

His joke dissipated the tension in Yuan Xiao's heart.

Gu Lanting was like a mountain, always protecting her from the wind and rain.

She thought that the dangerous things seemed insignificant in front of him who was strong and confident.

...

The next day was the day for Yuan Xiao and Gu Lanting's parents to meet.

Wang Yazhi and her grandmother came, and Chu Jiangping came in the role of Yuan Xiao's father. Although he and Wang Yazhi had not yet settled down, in Yuan Xiao's heart, he was indeed almost like a father.

The Gu family, including Bai Hua, were waiting at Gu's house.

Grandma Gu didn't know about Chu Jiangping and Wang Yazhi yet. When she saw him, she was a little confused: "What's Jiangping doing?"

Gu Changsheng laughed and joked: "Mom, didn't you always worry about his marriage? He is smart. He picked a ready-made daughter, and she is so outstanding!"

Grandma Gu's eyes swept over Chu Jiangping and Wang Yazhi, clapped her hands and smiled: "This is a good thing! Why not get things done with the children!"

Chu Jiangping was thick-skinned and happily agreed: "I couldn't ask for more."

Wang Yazhi blushed with embarrassment. "Old lady, please stop teasing me. You are already old, why do you still want to get married!"

Grandma Gu did not continue to tease them, but mentioned a few words about the marriage of Gu Lanting and Yuanxiao: "It is a blessing for our Gu family that Yuanxiao can marry into our Gu family. Our Gu family does not have so many rules, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do not live together. After marriage, the young couple will live their own lives. As for the betrothal gift, ordinary families are concerned about the three turns and one ring, and we don’t care so much. I still have a courtyard house under my name, so I will give it to Yuanxiao."

Grandma's heart trembled when she heard it. Is this not picky?

"No, the courtyard house we live in is under the child's name. How can I take your things, old sister!" Grandma refused repeatedly.

Grandma Gu took Yuan Xiao's hand and smiled sweetly: "This is the rule, and I like this child. I also prepared a pair of bracelets, which are not considered as betrothal gifts, but as my makeup for the child. As for the rest, let Lan Ting handle it herself."

Yuan Xiao smiled sweetly, not shy at all, and thanked him crisply.

"Is the wedding room ready?" Chu Jiangping asked.

Gu Lan Ting nodded, "I have several foreign houses and courtyard houses under my name. I will ask someone to decorate it depending on which one Xiao Xiao likes."

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but move her hand. She was indeed very poor.

In addition to the courtyard house in Qushui County, there is only the courtyard house where she lives now in Beijing.

The plan to buy a house should be put on the agenda.

Grandma Gu looked at Yuan Xiao for a moment, her eyes showing a bit of dissatisfaction: "Xiao Xiao, you are too thin. I heard from the doctor before that it is best not to have children before the age of 20. Grandma is not an old-fashioned person. You are not yet 20, so use contraception for the time being."

Bai Hua bit her lip, her heart felt like it was filled with shards of glass.

After enduring for a long time, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Mom, getting married and having children is natural. If you don't have children,

what's the point of getting married?" Grandma Gu gave her a cold look, "Shut up if you can't talk. When you and Changsheng got married, when did I ever urge you to have children?"

People of Grandma Gu's generation had the courage to divorce Grandpa Gu, which was enough to show how open-minded she was.

It was precisely because she had been persecuted by those thoughts that she would not impose these things on the next generation.

Bai Hua fell silent in frustration.

Because of the last Lingzhi incident, Gu Changsheng almost divorced her, and she was not confident enough now.

Wang Yazhi was originally worried that Yuan Xiao and the Gu family would not get along well, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.

The two families sat together to eat, in harmony. Occasionally, Bai Hua said a few harsh words, but they were ignored.

After dinner, they discussed the wedding date.

In the end, Yuan Xiao and Gu Lanting's wedding date was set in August.
