The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 270: Chapter 269: The Plan Falls Through

Hearing Old Mrs. Gu’s words, Yue Jun quickly waved her hand and said, ”Actually, there’s no need to prepare so much. As long as the young couple has a place to live, that’s enough.”

Cars are really not cheap nowadays. If the Gu Family were to specially prepare a car for Yiyi, it would be quite embarrassing. Although Gu Tingyu’s family situation is quite good, their salaries are fixed, and even with some savings, after preparing these wedding gifts, there might not be much left at home, so she really couldn’t accept these.

Seeing Yue Jun refuse, Old Mrs. Gu quickly said, ”It’s necessary, it’s necessary. Nowadays, who gets married without preparing these things? So you shouldn’t decline anymore. Besides, this is for Yiyi. How can you refuse on her behalf?”

At this moment, Yiyi also spoke up, ”Grandma, we really don’t need these.”

Not to mention the car, Gu Tingyu originally has an apartment for them to live in, so there’s really no need to prepare these.

In the end, it was Mr. Gu who decided with a wave of his hand, ”That’s settled.”

Seeing that the old man has decided, Yu Qiulan dared not say more; now she sees that everyone in the family has accepted Mo Yiyi, she knows it would be useless to oppose, as it might even affect the Yu Family.

The Yu Family is originally not a big family; if Mr. Gu really takes action, they would definitely not be able to stay in Shangjing.

Guo Ming nodded and said, ”Indeed, they should prepare a house for the young couple. As for the car, when Yiyi graduates, she can use it for commuting, which is pretty good.”

Seeing Guo Ming say this, Yue Jun didn’t speak any more.

Then, everyone talked and laughed while having dinner, and Mr. Gu and the others prepared to leave.

When the Gu family returned to the elders’ home, Gu Yaohua spoke to his parents about the bride price. ”We didn’t mention specific numbers at Yiyi’s house, Dad, how much do you think is appropriate to prepare?”

At this time, Yu Qiulan couldn’t hold back and said.

”We have to prepare a house and a car, do we still need to prepare so much money?”

Mr. Gu gave his eldest daughter-in-law a cold glance.

Yu Qiulan saw this, and only then did she stop talking. But thinking of how tight life would be in the future, she still felt suffocated.

Gu Yaohua also glanced at his wife, slightly furrowing his brow.

He didn’t notice it before, but ever since their son found a partner, his wife has become more ignorant, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

Seeing even her husband was disappointed in her, Yu Qiulan bit her lip, feeling a slight panic in her heart.

If everyone in the family looked down on her in the future, what would she do?

Back then, if not for her husband’s determination to marry her, she wouldn’t have become part of the Gu Family. After all, she knew from the start that Mr. Gu and Old Mrs. Gu didn’t think highly of her; they were considering another girl with a better family background. So, her only support in the Gu Family is her husband.

Thinking of this, she immediately changed her tune and said, ”Of course, the bride price is necessary, and it should be generous so that others can see we value Yiyi.”

Hearing this, the others’ expressions finally looked better.

In the end, Mr. Gu decided, ”Let’s prepare eighty thousand.”

Upon hearing Mr. Gu’s words, Yu Qiulan’s face was full of surprise, but she immediately lowered her head to hide her expression; since the old man had already decided, she had nothing more to say.

But after preparing everything for their son, there really wouldn’t be a penny left at home.

Gu Tingyu, hearing Mr. Gu’s words, fully agreed with their decision, ”Grandpa, let’s do as you say.”

”Alright, on the day of the engagement, all these will be handed over to Yiyi’s family.”

The family decided just like that.

On the other side, Yue Jun looked at her daughter with some concern and said, ”Yiyi, since the Gu family prepared so much, what should we prepare as a dowry?”

”Mom, we should just prepare normally, and don’t feel too burdened.”

Guo Ming also nodded and said, ”That’s right, Yue Jun, what’s there to be worried about? Yiyi marrying into their Gu family is the greatest fortune for them.”

But considering his little apprentice was getting married, he pondered seriously for the sake of appearances, and said, ”Rest assured, I will also prepare a dowry for Yiyi, which will surely let her marry into the Gu family with dignity and without being looked down upon by others, so don’t think too much, leave this to me.”

The next day, early in the morning, Gu Tingyu came over again, picking up Yiyi and heading to the Gu family’s elders’ home. When they arrived, they found Yu Qiulan there too, sitting on the sofa with an unfamiliar middle-aged woman.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman’s face looked a bit unpleasant; seeing Gu Tingyu and Yiyi come over, she barely forced a smile and said, ”Old Mrs. Gu, I’ll take my leave now.” With that, she hurriedly left.

Gu Tingyu and Yiyi didn’t ask any questions, instead, they sat down to chat with the old lady.

But that middle-aged woman headed straight to the Ding Family, meeting Mrs. Ding and hurriedly saying, ”Mrs. Ding, it seems the marriage proposal you asked me to mediate won’t work out. The Gu family’s eldest grandson has already set the engagement date with the girl’s family, and apparently, even the wedding date has been chosen. So Old Mrs. Gu rejected me directly.”

Chen Meilian’s face turned pale upon hearing this.

”What happened, when did their family finalize the date, and why haven’t I heard anything?”

Previously, to quell Shu Yunfang’s rumors, she had put in a great effort to resolve them, fortunately with excellent results.

This time, she thought to strike while the iron is hot and directly set her granddaughter’s and Gu Tingyu’s matter, so that nobody dares to gossip.

But she didn’t expect the Gu family to secretly finalize the date, causing her plans to fail.

”Alright, you’ve worked hard today, you may leave now.”

The middle-aged woman, hearing this, said a couple more things and then left.

Just as Chen Meilian was sulking, Old Master Ding walked in with a stern face, ”What have you been doing lately, actually using the Ding Family’s influence to suppress those rumors? Don’t you know by doing this you’re indulging Yunfang, making her even more unruly in the future.”

He heard about the recent happenings; although his feelings for Chen Meilian were mediocre, Ding Yating was indeed his daughter, and Shu Yunfang his legitimate granddaughter, so he would pay some attention. But he didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

Because of a man, his granddaughter dared to resort to kidnapping, which is unacceptable.

”What does this have to do with Yunfang? It was her uncle who rashly decided to intervene.”

But Old Master Ding didn’t believe this.

”Hmph... Without Yunfang, would Shu Qiang do such a thing? So stop defending Yunfang. I told you to properly educate your daughter and granddaughter before, but look at Yunfang now; she’s an utter disgrace.”
