Chapter 159 Engagement Token
"You!" The old man saw through her thoughts at a glance, stretched out his hand and tapped her on the forehead: "Don't worry, as long as it is what you want to do, your family will support you, but you must remember, You must ensure your own safety. In addition, there is one more thing that Grandpa wants to tell you..."
“What’s the matter?” The old man suddenly became so solemn, making Youbao a little nervous.
The old man took out an ancient jade, handed it to You Bao and said, "This is what your Grandpa Gu brought. You put it on."
Yo Bao can tell at a glance that this is an ancient jade, and the quality of the jade is excellent. It is a rare mutton-fat white jade. Ancient jade is an auspicious object that brings good luck and avoids evil.
But why did Grandpa Gu give her a jade if he was so good?
"Silly girl, this is a token of your engagement to the Gu family boy." The old man said slowly.
"Engagement? Xingxing and I?" Youbao was stunned, and his first reaction was: "Grandpa doesn't agree?"
Mr. Lu: "Your grandpa Gu said that he is willing to give you half of the shares of the Gu family's company as a betrothal gift."
Yo Bao: "So grandpa sold me for money?"
Mr. Lu said with a straight face: "Nonsense, your grandfather and I are like that?" But after all, it was half of the property of the old Gu family next door, so it was hard not to be moved.
The old man said sternly: "If it weren't for the good relationship between you and that boy from the Gu family, and the Gu family sincerely wanted to appoint you as their granddaughter-in-law, grandpa would not have agreed to that annoying old man next door." The most important thing is that this girl will be in trouble in the future. If she marries next door, she can see her every day, and she doesn't have to worry about being bullied when she goes to someone else's house. This alone is better than many people.
The Gu family is willing to give half of their family property as a betrothal gift, which can be said to be full of sincerity. In addition, the child next door, whom he has been watching, has already shown extraordinary performance at a young age, and will definitely be the best in the future.
The key point is that the two children have a good relationship. Most people may not be able to accept the fact that their precious granddaughter has to deal with those things all day long. Only this kid will not mind after seeing her grow up. After considering so many considerations, he agreed to get engaged for the two children.
Mr. Gu has never given up the idea of getting married in these years, and the betrothal gifts have been increasing every year. This has finally impressed his future in-laws.
Mr. Gu was heartbroken to give half of his family property, but when he thought that his eldest grandson's life was saved by the other party, it would not be an exaggeration to give the entire Xie family to her.
What's more, it's just half of the family property. He believes that with the abilities of his eldest grandson and future grandson-in-law, the Gu family will only accumulate more family property in the future.
“But, I’m still young, is it too early to get engaged now?” Youbao blinked.
“You don’t like to wake up?” Mr. Lu asked.
The figure who had just reached the gate of Lu's house suddenly paused.
Yo Bao shook his head and said, "I like it, but I also like my grandparents, uncles, aunts, father, mother, cousins, cousins, nephews, and my godfather and godmother. They are all You Bao's family."
The old man understands, but he hasn’t yet figured it out.
Same, although this girl is in junior high school, she is actually only in the grade of elementary school. However, the relationship between the two children who grew up together is definitely not that different.
“The Gu family boy is a good guy. If you don’t decide on someone early, he might be snatched away by someone else in the future. Are you willing?”
Thinking about how many girls in school confess their love to Xingxing every day, what grandpa said seems to make sense.
Yo Bao shook his head: "I don't want to!"
Gu Xingzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he walked to the door.
"So, we have to settle on the person first, so we don't have to worry about him being snatched away by others." Mr. Lu was tempting, and then changed the subject, "Of course, when you grow up, if you find that you don't know each other, It's appropriate. Grandpa won't force you to be together, so the engagement party will be held until you are eighteen." He doesn't want his precious granddaughter to be wronged. If the two children have other ideas in the future, he won't give up. Use this old face to cancel the engagement for her.
At the door, Gu Xingzhi’s heart that had just been put down couldn’t help but feel anxious again. Thinking that the whole family of the Lu family is crazy about protecting little girls, his idea of trapping her by his side through betrothal might not work.
However, he keeps an eye on his grown-up daughter-in-law, and no one else can take her away.
At this time, Youbao also noticed Gu Xingzhi at the door, and couldn't help but run towards him with the ancient jade: "Xingxing, are you here? Look, this is Grandpa Gu's token of engagement for the two of us. "
Thinking about how not long ago she had pretended to be the other person's fiancée, I didn't expect that the lie would become true so quickly.
Yo Bao has no idea about getting engaged, probably because Mr. Gu talks about his future granddaughter-in-law every day, and everyone in the community regards her as his little daughter-in-law, so she is used to it.
As for what would happen after the engagement, she had never thought about it.
In her understanding, after getting engaged, she will get married and stay together like her parents for the rest of their lives.
She and Xingxing have grown up together since childhood. The two of them have stayed together longer than anyone else. There seems to be nothing wrong with staying together for the rest of their lives.
This girl doesn't care much about anything else except food and Taoism-related matters.
Gu Xingzhi knew in his heart that this girl didn't understand love yet. Otherwise, he would not help others give him things.
But fortunately, this girl is not opposed to getting engaged, so that’s good. As for the other things, he will slowly teach her.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Youbao, Gu Xingzhi, and Lu Zhuan are all already high school students.
Under the pressure of the two university tyrants, Lu Zhuan reluctantly entered the same high school as the two of them.
“Hey, your fiancé is playing a game with your nephew, are you really not going to watch it?” During the last self-study period in the afternoon, there were only a few people left in the classroom, and everyone went to watch the game.
"What's there to see in a sure-win game?" Youbao was finishing the questions and said without raising his head when he heard the words.
“Tsk, does this count as Versailles?”
Xu Qingyou and Lu You are junior high school classmates. Although they are not in the same class, Xu Qingyou pays special attention to this pair of campus celebrities because of their similar names. You know, the news that the two had arranged to have a baby kiss spread throughout the campus.
In high school, I happened to get into another school and became classmates.
Xu Qingyou came to her side and said, "I just saw a lot of girls from other classes and some seniors there. They all went to your family, so don't worry. ?”
“What are you worried about?” Lu You asked, raising his eyes.
Xu Qingyou: "Are you worried that they will be courteous to your family? For example, delivering water or towels?"
Lu You: “He won’t pick it up!”
“Tsk, I really like your aura of ‘as long as I don’t die, you will be the concubine after all’!”
