Gu Juexi had ended his conference call and was sitting on the sofa with Xixi, watching Ye Yuwei and Wen Jie matching the jewelry to the outfits.

Ye Yuwei would be wearing five different dresses on her wedding day, which meant she would need five different sets of jewelry.

Ye Yuwei took her phone back from Gu Juexi and took the picture of the jewelry and sent it to Xiao Yaojing.

[Mrs. Wen: What the…

Mrs. Wen: (image)]

Ye Yuwei looked at the picture that Xiao Yaojing had sent to her with the prices of every piece written on it and gulped after she totalled the cost.

[Mrs. Wen: Let me interview you, Mrs. Gu. A wedding ceremony shouldn’t take more than twelve hours, and yet you are wearing jewelry worth up to two billion? Are you trying to show off, or are you trying to show off?

Yezi: …

Yezi: Gu Juexi’s father got them.

Mrs. Wen: Omg fathers-in-law like him still exist? Please let me have a dozen.

Yezi: You are making Mr. Wen sad.

Mrs. Wen: Tut-tut. And I thought you were being bullied at your in-laws’ house! Your father-in-law is definitely generous. I am telling you that all that jewelry is definitely worth more than two billion, and the red diamond set itself should cost more than one billion.

Yezi: He is just like Gu Juexi.

Yezi: Then again, Yaojing…

Mrs. Wen: What?]

Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi, who was looking at the jewelry, and went to the balcony to talk to Xiao Yaojing. She stood at the corner where Xixi could spot her easily.

Xiao Yaojing fell silent after what Ye Yuwei said, and spoke a few moments later, “We have known each other for more than ten years now, Yezi. You are not treating me as a friend for saying that, and was my father’s care for you all for naught?”

“I don’t mean that. I just feel like the Gu Family has taken care of most of the wedding preparations, and there was nothing much that I could help with.”

“What’s wrong with that? You are marrying into their family, shouldn’t they be preparing for the wedding? My mother was just asking what she could get for you for your wedding. Although we are not as rich as the Gu Family and can’t afford jewelry of two billion, we should be able to get you something less expensive. After all, we shouldn’t let you get married without a maiden home,” said Xiao Yaojing boldly, “My mother also said that the groom should pick you up from our house. Although you do have a brother, he is technically your cousin. So we thought it would be best if the groom picks you up from our house.”

Ye Yuwei’s tear dropped on the windowsill when she lowered her head. “Yaojing…”

“Unless you look down on our family. There is nothing else I can do then, my parents are both poor teachers,” said Xiao Yaojing provocatively.

“You know that is not what I meant, Yaojing,” said Ye Yuwei quickly.

“So what’s the problem now? Who said you don’t have a maiden home? It really sounded like my parents’ love for you was all for naught,” Xiao Yaojing scoffed.

Ye Yuwei who was tearing up suddenly burst into laughter.

“It’s not like you would need cars or houses anyway. Though we do have this custom of giving daughters who are getting married a quilt, a rice pot and a piggy bank, meaning that the married daughter will sleep well, eat well and get to save money. My mother is already preparing those,” said Xiao Yaojing.

Ye Yuwei could feel her nose burning again, but there was nothing that she could do or say.

“Don’t cry, it would be so embarra.s.sing if you do,” Xiao Yaojing yelled on the other end of the line, though her voice trembled slightly.
