Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan’s wedding date drew near. The formal invitations had been sent out. Only then did certain families in the capital realize that Gu Qingyao was going to marry Mo Beihan.

The Gu family’s daughter was getting married. Of course, she must be married from the Gu home.

Gu Yunshen and Qiao Yuying had their own home. She was their daughter, so she should be married from their home.

But Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu objected. Even Second Uncle Gu and Second Cousin, Gu Jinhang objected.

In the capital, everyone’s impression of the Gu family was that Second Uncle Gu represented the family. They were the most influential branch of the family.

Now that the two old folks lived there, it was reasonable to consider this the Gu home.

She was the Gu family’s only granddaughter. She obviously must be married from there.

Gu Jinhang was especially adamant.

“Your Fourth Cousin especially sent me a message to say that you must definitely be married from here. You are the Gu family’s daughter, and our grandparents live here! This is the Gu home.

“Everyone is rich now and can move out to live by themselves. But Grandfather and Grandma are here, and this is the foundation of the Gu family. When you come back, you will also stay here. You will be married from here. I won’t listen to any arguments!”

Gu Qingyao leaned her forehead on her hand. Why was her family acting as if they were afraid that the Mo family would bully her?

Mo Beihan was clearly very good to her!

Grandfather and Grandma Mo were clearly very good to her too!

The young ones were clearly very good to her as well!

When Gu Qingyao thought about her enormous dowry, she really did not know what to say.

She had tried her best to hide her wealth and be less conspicuous. Usually, both the Qiao family and the Qin family kept a low profile.

But now that she was getting married, everyone seemed to be dying to display all their wealth and dazzle everyone.

The two families had hurried to move to the capital before her wedding in order to bring in huge investments. The truth was that they were doing this to support her.

Gu Qingyao did not know what to say when she thought about how her mother seemed to be trying to buy the best and most expensive jewels lately as part of her dowry.

Her Gu grandparents, her Qiao grandparents, her older cousins and her teacher, Jiang Yiru, seemed to be in unison.

Recently, everyone had dropped everything solely to discuss what to prepare and what else they could do to make the dowry more extravagant!

Gu Qingyao secretly put the jewelry away in her interspace. A pity that her grandparents wanted to see the dowry every day. If a single piece went missing, they went hunting high and low for it. She was so frightened she stopped hiding it.

Even if she did not hide the jewelry, the four old folks still kept looking at the dowry to see what else should be added.

Gu Qingyao said to Gu Jinhang rather helplessly, “Second Cousin, what shall I do with all this? If I display it, it will cause a commotion. It’s too ostentatious!”

Gu Jinhang smiled. “Ostentatious? This is ostentatious?”

“Yao Yao, you’ve always been a quiet girl and seldom go to places where people spend lavishly. Let me tell you, all the people who have a little money enjoy showing off these days. What is this little bit?

“We have the means; why shouldn’t you show off a little?

“The first batch of people to profit in business are now spoiling their children because their lives were too hard in the past. They are spending money like water. Weddings are even more extravagant. This is a marriage alliance between the Mo, the Gu and the Qiao families, and even distantly, the Qin family. It would be odder if it was a simple wedding.

“Of all the financial groups which are investing in the capital now, the Qiao family and the Qin family are the most powerful. Their approvals were obtained with lightning speed. The more importance they place on marrying their daughter to the Mo family, the less those senior officials will worry.

“Don’t think too much. Second Cousin knows what he’s doing!”
