Chapter 848: The Wedding Date Is Fixed (2)
Gu Chonghua asked, “Is she… is she richer than me?”
The old man was rather shocked. At the moment, he and his wife controlled all the Gu family assets. His youngest son knew approximately how much they had. His words implied that Gu Qingyao was richer even than the entire Gu family combined?
Gu Yunshen seemed rather amused by this question, but he nodded. “Yes, she’s richer than the entire Gu family. The antiques she owns are worth more than the sum of the Gu family’s assets.”
Gu Chonghua’s eyes widened. “What? What did you say?”
Wen Ruyu was also shocked!
Gu Yunshen said, “I heard it from her mother. Yao Yao has excellent business sense. After she got to know her mother overseas, she accompanied her mother on a few trips out of the country, including business trips to Hong Kong. By coincidence, large batches of antiques had arrived there and Yao Yao bought many of them. She spent hundreds of thousands, millions in fact. At first, it was Yuying who gave her the money, but later on, she earned the money to make her own purchases.”
Gu Conghua, “…”
Wen Ruyu, “…”
After a long pause…
“Hahahahaha… My granddaughter is so amazing, hahahaha…” Wen Ruyu laughed out loud in delight. “No wonder she said that she had bought the presents for everyone with her own money! She even gave her cousins ten thousand yuan each. And as for us! She gave her grandfather and me twenty thousand yuan each.”
“She also gave me a set of jewelry. Oh my, I thought it was from the Qiao family! I never imagined that my granddaughter had really bought it herself!”
Gu Chonghua was incredibly excited. “Amazing! Amazing! The child never told us a thing. She’s so outstanding. How did a young girl like her manage it?”
“So what if she’s a young girl? My granddaughter is not like the average person!” Wen Ruyu felt very proud.
“Yes, yes, yes, your granddaughter is amazing. Your granddaughter is the best!”
They rejoiced for a while before Wen Ruyu brought up the matter of housing. “Since you’re back, I might as well tell you directly! Fourth Son! Your father and I are about to buy a house for you to be your matrimonial home. When are you getting married? We want to buy it as soon as possible so as not to delay your wedding.”
“We’ve looked at some houses, but we’re not sure which one to choose. In the end, we like three of them, so we decided to buy them all for you!”
“The Qiao family is very rich, but our Gu family is not far behind. These years have been hard on you. Now that you’re getting married, we want to amply provide for you. If you need anything, just let us know. As for the wedding gifts, you can have your pick of the family’s jewelry. Choose the best ones!”
Gu Yunshen hurriedly said, “Father, Mother, don’t worry about the house. I’ll buy it…”
“No way.” Wen Ruyu disagreed. “You’ve been with us for so many years. Your life has been set back the most. Your wife is so rich, you must be on par with her, or you will have conflicts later on.”
“Her wealth is her business. She can decide whether she wants to spend it herself or give it to Yao Yao. You have to support the family. We must at least prepare some assets for you.”
“Besides, if we don’t pay for anything, it will seem as if we are trying to gain something for free! If word gets around, how will people regard the Qiao family? How will they regard the Gu family? Perhaps they might even say that because Yao Yao is all grown up, the Gu family doesn’t hold Yuying in high regard and doesn’t care about your marriage! That will embarrass the Qiao family! And it won’t reflect well on us either.”
