Chapter 3735: A New Addition (351)

The wedding was right around the corner. However, Butler Fu had already meticulously made all the necessary preparations. Moreover, now that Chu He was pregnant, this was a double blessing for the Gu family.
It had been a long time since there was such a joyous occasion at the Gu family residence. Everyone in the household was excited. However, since Chu He was pregnant, she couldn’t drink at the banquet. Given this, Gu Jinglian had addressed this matter in advance.
Rather, it might be more accurate to say he made a threat.
Whoever dared to raise a wine glass to get Chu He to drink, would have the hand that was holding the wine glass chopped off.
…
Butler Fu was greatly amused when he heard this.
The old master seemed to be getting better at protecting his wife. However, this was also considered a good thing. At the very least, even with his proud and aloof personality, he knew how to dote on others. It was truly not easy, not easy.
Two days before the wedding, Butler Fu took Chu He to his house. Aunty Fu had already decorated the bedroom several days in advance. Chu He moved into the bedroom and was moved by the care that Aunty Fu took to decorate it.
How very thoughtful. Butler Fu indeed treated her like his own daughter.
Almost all preparations had been made, except for some disagreement about the bridesmaid. Chu He didn’t have many good friends, so there was a problem with identifying suitable bridesmaids. It would be quite impossible to do without bridesmaids. There would be much to do on the day of the wedding. Without bridesmaids, there would be fewer people around to help out.
Fortunately, Butler Fu had two nieces. He managed to get their help but even then, two bridesmaids seemed a little lacking. When time came for the bridal escort, Gu Jinglian’s group of brothers would cause a ruckus. It would be pathetic if they could not hold the group back.
Butler Fu somehow managed to mysteriously “summon” a group of sisters together. It was said that many of them were distant relatives of the Gu family. Gu Jinglian had considerably many cousins and Butler Fu managed to gather seven or eight of them.
The group of sisters had arrived the night before. However, they felt a little uneasy in Chu He’s presence. This uneasiness was built on the fact that Chu He was Gu Jinglian’s wife, and they were all very afraid of Gu Jinglian.
In the Gu family, Gu Jinglian held absolute authority and wielded absolute power. Just being in his presence gave people an indescribable sense of pressure. However, Chu He was easy to get along with. After a while, they got to know each other.
They noted that Chu He didn’t put on any airs so they didn’t feel pressured. At night, one of Gu Jinglian’s cousins even enthusiastically helped Chu He with a full skincare routine, assuring the bride that it would help the makeup go on much more easily the next day.
Fortunately, Butler Fu’s house was of a decent size. There were three to four rooms in total, and there was a long sofa in the living room. Even though they were women of the Gu family, they did not care about trifles and were willing to sleep on the sofa for the night. There were seven to eight people in all and they slept there, three to a room.
Chu He lay on the bed, tossing and turning. She drifted off at 10pm and woke up at 1am. Thereafter, she was unable to go back to sleep. She gave up trying, turned on the television and put it on silent mode, planning to watch the television until dawn.
When the two bridesmaids who were sharing her room saw that she was awake, they too, got too nervous to sleep. The three of them got out of bed and chatted as they applied facial masks and watched television.
At 3am, the makeup artist and styling team arrived. Chu He’s makeup was a little complicated, and having to do her hair, the whole process would take three hours.
At around 4am to 5am, the photographer arrived.
