Chapter 158: Go Enjoy the Good Life
"Brother Guodong, do you really want to marry that Gu Lingling?"
Lv Guodong wanted to find Gu Lingling to figure out what that dream meant, but was intercepted by Gu Juan who took him to the bamboo grove behind the house. "That brat is not worthy of you at all."
"What do you want from me?" Lv Guodong said impatiently.
"Marriage is decided by adults, there's nothing I can do about it." Lv Guodong said, frowning.
If it were marrying someone else, he could have decided. But suddenly knowing that today his parents came to help him propose to Gu Lingling, for some reason, Lv Guodong no longer felt the urge to resist.
Thinking carefully, marrying Gu Lingling doesn't seem so bad.
Naturally, Gu Juan didn't believe his words either. Who was Lv Guodong? Could he obey his parents so obediently?
"Brother Guodong, have you fallen for Gu Lingling?" Gu Juan asked sharply.
She knew it, she'd sent him so many letters these days and he simply ignored them, so that's why!
Gu Lingling is simply a vixen.
To say that Gu Juan followed Lv Guodong before was because his status gave her convenience at school, she never thought of marrying Lv Guodong.
In Gu Juan's mind, whoever could marry her must have power and influence, at least be capable like Yang Yunhai.
That Tao Zhiran from the educated youth point was just a backup to showcase her vanity.
She, Gu Juan, might not think much of Lv Guodong, might not want him, but she absolutely couldn't allow Lv Guodong to think little of her, nor allow Lv Guodong to fall for Gu Lingling.
"What nonsense are you talking?" Lv Guodong was a bit flustered, then scolded, "How could I fall for that damned woman, stop making a fuss, I'm leaving."
After speaking, he left Gu Juan and hurried away.
His behavior looked to Gu Juan like an unintentional confession and a hasty escape.
"Gu Lingling, I definitely won't let you have it easy." Gu Juan said viciously, gritting her teeth.
Meanwhile, Wang Meili was counting money with Old Mrs. Gu behind closed doors.
The money from selling Gu Lingling.
"Keep this money safe. This is just the bride price money. My sister said, once the ceremony is done, the remaining portion will be delivered to you." Wang Meili said with a smile.
"The Lv family is really rich." Old Mrs. Gu had never seen so much money before, counting it again and again. "Although I don't favor that girl Lingling, marrying over there is really going to enjoy life."
Wang Meili pursed her lips.
This old lady's words sounded nice, enjoy life? What kind of life can be enjoyed in a family like that?
But since this matter was orchestrated by her, naturally she'd be happy for Old Mrs. Gu to say such things.
"Mom, you're absolutely right. Just with my cousin's family, there are many people trying to get in. If it weren't for my connections, who knows who this would have fallen on." Wang Meili seized the opportunity to earn some credit for herself.
"Save this money, mom, for Juanzi's dowry when she gets married." Old Mrs. Gu smiled and spit on her hand, counting the money and tickets again.
She didn't feel there was anything wrong with what she said.
Using Gu Lingling's bride price to save for Gu Juan's dowry?
It clearly showed how biased Old Mrs. Gu was, excessively and without bounds.
"Mom, you're just too good to me and Juanzi." Although somewhat resentful that Old Mrs. Gu held onto the money too tightly, hearing these words, Wang Meili timely expressed her feelings of gratitude.
Having been Old Mrs. Gu's daughter-in-law for so many years, she naturally knew how to coax this old lady into happiness.
And as for the bride price money from the Lv family, a large portion had been skimmed off when it passed through her hands.
