Gu Jinhang was a deep thinker. Since he said so, Gu Qingyao stopped worrying.
Gu Jinhang stroked Gu Qingyao’s head. “You’re getting married tomorrow. Don’t worry so much. Just enjoy being a bride!”
After so many years, this was the first time the Gu family was marrying off a daughter. The entire family was wildly excited.
Everyone had arrived.
Gu Fangting, Jiang Xun and his brother, the Qin family brothers and cousins, Mo Chengrui and his brothers, and all of Gu Qingyao’s cousins were present. Of her five older cousins, only her Fourth Cousin, Gu Jinfeng, was absent because he was still overseas.
The younger boys and Ji Mingyue were present too.
Everyone was here to give Gu Qingyao their wedding presents.
Traditionally, only close girl friends would give the bride wedding presents. But as society opened up, things became less rigid. Now that Gu Qingyao was getting married, all the younger ones in the family had prepared presents for her.
Gu Fangting took out her present. It was a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets made of pure gold and set with a pair of rubies. The rubies were especially beautiful. They were clear, and they glowed brilliantly.
The style and workmanship showed that this piece was of the best quality. It was especially fashionable in the past.
It was not at all inferior in quality to what her grandparents had given her.
Gu Qingyao hurriedly said, “This is so nice, please keep it for yourself. I have something similar. Yours is of superior quality.”
Gu Fangting smiled. “If it were not of superior quality, I would not give it to you! Don’t worry! I have other jewelry. This is for you! I especially got it for you.”
Besides the youngest few, all the children in the family had their own treasure trove of jewelry and other things. Besides Gu Fangting, Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping also did not lack such items.
For the past few years, the Gu family children had enjoyed bartering for antiques on the black market. Almost all the children had followed suit. Just that they differed in scale. Some of them had more while others had less.
Even if they did not think of it at first, when they saw the others doing so, they also followed suit.
Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping gave Gu Qingyao some gems and jewelry.
Perhaps they felt that she was a girl and naturally liked jewelry, so Qin Si and Ji Mingyue also gave her similar items.
But Mo Chengrui, Mo Chengxu, Mo Chengjing and Mu Mu’s present was different.
As the eldest, Mo Chengrui handed a small box to Gu Qingyao.
“Aunt, this present is from the four of us.”
The box was very small. When she opened it, she found a car key inside.
Gu Qingyao was taken aback!
Mo Chengrui smiled, “It’s a car. The four of us clubbed together to buy it.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Her dowry already included a car. In fact, more than one car. And now here was another one…
“Where did you get so much money? You’re at an age where your expenses are heavy. You should keep it for yourself…”
Mu Mu smiled smugly. “Aunt, you and Young Uncle gave us a lot of money. We used the money and made a profit!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She looked at the house full of young men and women. They were all talented people!
None of them were short of money.
Gu Jinhang laughed. “I forgot to tell you that your Fourth Cousin also sent you a wedding present.”
Gu Qingyao looked at him. “Surely not. He has never mentioned it before!”
Her Fourth Cousin really, really doted on her. He was terribly upset that he could not be here for the wedding.. Fourth Cousin had already contributed generously to her dowry. Now there was more?
