Next, there was Gu Tingting, who had become the busiest person aside from Old Master Gu and Gu Weijun. As An Yiqing’s best friend, she constantly clamored about acting as the matchmaker for An Yiqing and Gu Yelin, listing many reasons why she must be present, both emotional and logical.
Finally, after her earnest pleading, Old Master Gu agreed to her request.
The entourage for the proposal visit was set; it included Old Master Gu, Gu Yelin’s father Gu Weijun, the Gu Family’s second son Gu Qingfeng and his wife Chen Fang, and of course, Gu Tingting.
While the Gu Family Mansion bustled with activity, so too was the An Family Villa far from idle.
Early in the morning, the Elder An and others had risen from their beds. Those who needed to tidy up the house did so, and those who had to dress up did exactly that, with only An Yiqing looking like an outsider, watching everything with a smile, her heart brimming with happiness.
"Niuniu, what are you looking at? Hurry up, the Gu Family people will be here soon," Old Lady An gently patted An Yiqing, speaking affectionately, "Go put on the dress that your mother and I bought for you. There’s a saying that even an ugly wife has to meet her in-laws eventually. Our Niuniu isn’t ugly at all, but she still needs to dress up nicely to meet the in-laws."
An Yiqing nodded obediently, took the dress in her hand, and turned to go upstairs.
After the bustle, it was already eight o’clock in the morning. At that moment, the sound of a car engine came faintly from outside the An Family Villa.
Now that they had become Ancient Martial Artists, the An Family could hear the noise outside clearly; it seemed the Gu Family had arrived.
The sound grew closer, and the An Family got themselves together and then went out to open the gate.
Although the Gu and An families were close friends, proper etiquette had to be observed as a matter of respect for each other.
An Yiqing, supporting Elder An and Old Lady An, was followed by An Zisheng and his wife Kong Shi, then came the brothers An Zhihang and An Zhiyan, and even Xiao Hei and Old Jin, the two carefree creatures, came out.
It appeared that not only did the An Family take An Yiqing’s big day seriously but even Xiao Hei and Old Jin, who were usually carefree, were also very concerned about it.
Of course, they had to be concerned, as this related to the future of their human cleaners. Xiao Hei and Old Jin chuckled to themselves in their minds.
A minute later, the distant sound of the engine drew nearer, and a black sedan became visible to everyone’s eyes.
Shortly thereafter, several sedans sped up to the place and came to a steady stop outside the An Family Villa.
The members of the Gu Family stepped out of the cars and walked toward the gate.
Even though vehicles could enter the courtyard of the An Family Villa, the Gu Family, out of respect and importance for the An Family, chose to park outside instead.
Seeing this, Elder An and the others nodded in approval, greatly satisfied with the Gu Family’s manner!
"Old Gu, you’ve finally arrived!" Elder An, assisted by An Yiqing, greeted them warmly, "You haven’t visited my poor and remote place for so many years. Today, I finally got to see you!" joked Elder An.
"Now, now, Elder An, you must feel uneasy if we don’t banter for half a day, right? If it weren’t for Qing’s and Lao San’s big day today, I wouldn’t set foot in this broken place of yours," Old Master Gu said with a glint in his eye, pretending to be angry, but his look was filled with amusement.
"Grandpa Gu, Uncle Gu, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, it’s cold outside, let’s go inside to talk," An Yiqing, who had been standing by, suggested with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Gu, please come inside to warm up," An Zisheng stepped forward, heartily ushering the Gu Family into the house.
Just then, another round of engine noise sounded outside the courtyard, followed by an understated black Audi pulling up confidently to the gateway.
Ye Chenghong had arrived!
