There were not many people in the Gu House today as the adults were out at work and the children were at school. Only Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu were at home. When Gu Qingyao returned, the elderly couple was elated and immediately chatted with her for a long while.
Their little granddaughter left for six years, and now she had grown older and matured. The more they looked at her, the prettier she was!
“Yao Yao! Yao Yao! Tell me, where’s your mother? When’s your mother coming back?”
Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu were elated to find out that Gu Qingyao went overseas to look for her biological mother and was successful at doing so. Even more so, they were overjoyed that their youngest son, Gu Yunshen, had always been waiting for that lady and actually got a marriage certificate with her back then!
Their multi-talented youngest son whose many years were wasted!
He finally has his own happiness!
After finding out that the lady is from a respectable family, Wen Ruyu was delighted. In the past, she was disgusted by Zhang Xiaohui’s presence and felt that her youngest son was delayed by her.
Now that her son’s family could reunite, Wen Ruyu had been anticipating Qiao Yuying’s return to the country and her wedding with Gu Yunshen.
She was even preparing the items required for a wedding already.
Gu Qingyao chuckled. “Soon. Father has already gone to look for Mother. They have been apart for so many years. Father said he wants to stay there to gain approval from Grandfather and Grandmother before returning with Mother.
“The entire Qiao family has many businesses overseas, and they cannot return just because they want to. My uncles definitely still have to stay there, and Mother would prefer to return with Father. My cousins also wish to come back!”
Wen Ruyu smiled widely. “It’s good as long as they return. Aiya. I know that the conditions overseas are great, but your hometown is still your hometown. Any place outside will never be as comfortable as home.
“It’s great as long as your mother is willing to return. Your father is their son-in-law. He should stay there to showcase himself. They have been apart for so many years and should take this time to make up for the time.”
Then, she frowned and had a serious expression. “Yao Yao! Let me ask you. Does the Qiao family have a lot of businesses overseas? Are these businesses very large? The environment has improved recently, and I saw that many people are starting their own businesses. No one minded them. I was still discussing with your grandfather and Second Uncle about starting some businesses too!
“Those large mansions in the past have returned to us now, and those gemstones and antiques that we hid in the past can be used now as well. Your mother is from such a good family. We need to prepare a presentable betrothal gift for your father. We cannot humble both your father and mother.”
Since Gu Yunshen decided to go abroad to look for Qiao Yuying, he would not hide it from the family anymore. Additionally, with the greater convenience, Mo Beihan told him a lot of information, so he knew about the Qiao family’s situation.
The Gu family realized that the Qiao family was extremely wealthy, yet Gu Yunshen had nothing, and the Gu family even had no presentable businesses. Such a marriage was truly a little embarrassing.
Fortunately, the current conditions permitted people to start their own businesses, so Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu considered purchasing some businesses for their youngest son to increase his net worth. In this way, they would have something decent to present when marrying the Qiao lady.
Wen Ruyu tugged Gu Qingyao’s hand and said, “Yao Yao! You studied abroad before and are very knowledgeable. Do you think we can invest now? Your grandfather and I are still a little hesitant as so many children in the family are still working! We are not short of money, but we are afraid that one wrong step would affect their future.”
