Chapter 169: Gu Family’s Dissatisfaction
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Xiao family was a large family with a large population, but their thoughts had been feudal since Xiao Shan grandfather’s generation. The idea of men being superior to women was engraved in their bones. Fortunately, Xiao Jing hated Xiao Shan because of his mother’s death, so he had distanced himself from the Xiao family since he was young and studied outside. That was why he was not tainted by these stubborn thoughts.
However, Xiao Shan was now a true feudal patriarch. He believed that a good woman should obey all four virtues. Marrying must be under the orders of her parents and not free love.
It was clearly a modern civilized society, but they still did such unpresentable dregs.
In his opinion, the sadistic love between Gu Teng and Xiao Jing was very embarrassing. Even he looked down on Gu Teng.
The daughter-in-law in his heart would never leave the house. Moreover, the marriage was entirely up to ones parents. If he didn’t know that Gu Teng was the daughter of the Gu family, Xiao Shan would never agree to this marriage.
Xiao Jing could tell that his father was unwilling. He quickly said, “This is the condition of the Gu family. If you want me to get married, do it.”
Thinking of the wealth and power of the Gu family, Xiao Shan forced himself to nod even though he was unwilling. “I’ll go to the capital when I’m ready.”
Xiao Jing, who had settled his father, was in a good mood. He turned around and took Yunbao over. “Daddy and Mommy are going to hold a wedding. Is Yunbao happy?
Yunbao smiled brightly. “Then Yunbao will be the flower girl at the wedding.” “Okay, Yunbao can be anything you want.” Xiao Jing hurriedly agreed.
Looking at his son’s daughter’s expression, Xiao Shan only felt a toothache. It was just that there was no need to dote on a daughter so much. When he and Gu Teng got married, he had to quickly give birth to a son. Otherwise, who would inherit the Xiao family’s business?
Xiao Jing didn’t know what his father was thinking and was still happily thinking about where to hold the wedding. He even prepared the marriage proposal when Xiao Shan was resting. When Xiao Shan was about to go to the capital, everything was ready.
Xiao Shan looked at his excited son and sighed. He was too anxious to get married. Those who didn’t know better would think that there was something wrong with him. Otherwise, why would he be so anxious?
Just as the group was heading to the capital, Yunbao felt that someone was watching her, but she did not find such a person. She thought that she had seen wrongly and did not care.
Little did she know that Chen Yue had also brought Mao Feng to the capital. She could not watch Xiao Jing and Gu Teng get married.
During this period of time, under her instigation, the originally disheartened Mao Feng also pulled himself together and decided to snatch Gu Teng back.
After arriving in the capital, Xiao Shan immediately rested in the hotel. He had no intention of going to the Gu family to propose marriage. Looking at his calm appearance, Xiao Jing was extremely anxious.
“Dad, go and propose today. Otherwise, you won’t be able to make it in time for the auspicious days,” Xiao Jing said as he snatched the teacup from Xiao Shan’s hand.
Xiao Shan poured himself another cup of tea and said, “This kind of thing can’t be rushed. I’ve just arrived in the capital, so I have to rest.”
Gu Sen could tell that Xiao Shan was neglecting his younger sister. He directly carried Yunbao back to the Gu family and told his family everything.
When the Gu family heard this, they fell silent. The third son, Gu Luo, adjusted his glasses and said, “They’re trying to take us down a notch.”
Did Xiao Shan think that the Gu family wanted to marry their daughter off so badly that they would come and ask for an audience as long as he delayed?
This was simply a dream! Their little sister was the most respected young lady in the capital.
It was not that the three aristocratic families in the capital did not have daughters, but there was no one like Gu Teng who had seven brothers who truly doted on her and had substantial wealth in their hands. When Gu Teng reached adulthood) her seven brothers signed a share gift agreement and gave her the shares of the Gu family.
Even if Gu Teng did not get married, she was still a first-class rich woman in the capital. Her brothers actually hoped that Gu Teng could get married later. It would be best if she could find a man to marry into the family.
Although Gu Teng did not find anyone to marry into the family and left home to be with Xiao Jing, she was still a noble young lady in the capital.
If the Xiao family did not come to propose, they would not marry. Anyway, Yunbao was now in the Gu family, and Xiao Jing loved Gu Teng deeply. He would probably stay in the capital to accompany his wife for a long time. The Xiao family’s opinion was really ignored.
Just as Xiao Shan was happily waiting for the Gu family to come, Gu family actually celebrated Gu Teng’s birthday and invited countless celebrities to the banquet. They even spread the news that they would invite young talents.
It was as if they were choosing a husband for Gu Teng. For a moment, the entire capital was in an uproar..
