Chapter 12: Swindling
Chapter 12: Swindling
"This was given to me by Gu Yun's father back then. I joked at the time that when I had a daughter-in-law, I would give it to her. But this is just an appetizer. Your grandfather will have a big treasure in his hands later!"
Zhu Min put the bracelet on Hai Tang, but she did not let go of her hand. She asked gently, "Tang Tang, can I call you Tang Tang?"
"Ah... yes." Hai Tang was about to call her 'Auntie' when Zhu Min interrupted her.
"Look at my memory. I actually forgot to give you a change of address. Since you're married, you have to call me Mom!"
Zhu Min took out a thick red packet from her bag. It was so stuffed that it felt like it was going to explode at any moment.
"This is the change fee. Tang Tang, call me Mom." Zhu Min looked at Hai Tang expectantly.
Hai Tang finally understood why Gu Yun had said that his family was very enthusiastic.
She was indeed very enthusiastic, and Hai Tang was a little overwhelmed.
Under Zhu Min's expectant gaze, she called her 'Mom' shyly.
The happy Zhu Min smiled from ear to ear, and immediately took out her mobile phone and took a few selfies with Hai Tang, and then posted them on social platforms.
"Tang Tang, when do you plan to take your wedding photos? When did you guys get together? How long have you been together? Why did you suddenly decide to get married?"
Faced with Zhu Min's sudden chain of questions, Hai Tang didn't know how to answer.
Was she supposed to say that she had s*x with Gu Yun after drinking last night? When she woke up, she heard Gu Yun asking her to be responsible for him, and then they went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate?
Wouldn't this make them look like they were playing around!
Perhaps it was because he was used to battling wits with his own family, the smile on Gu Yun's face becoming more pronounced. He helped Hai Tang out of the predicament. "Mom, you asked so many questions at once. How is she going to answer? We haven't been together for long anyway, but I've liked her for a long time. She finally agreed to marry me, so of course I have to marry her immediately."
"You brat, I'm just concerned about our Tang Tang. She's so beautiful. Did you trick her into getting married?" Zhu Min had no idea that she had almost guessed the truth bit by bit.
However, Gu Yun would not give her this chance. He had also "swindled" Hai Tang into coming here. If he could not bring up the past, he would not bring it up. He changed the topic and said, "How is that possible? I'll tell you later."
"Alright then. When do you plan to take your wedding photos and when will the wedding ceremony be held?" Zhu Min said.
"I want to give her a grand, eye-catching, and extremely luxurious wedding!"
Gu Yun nodded heavily at Old Master Gu!
"How about this? Just let that especially powerful designer from our corporation design the most beautiful wedding dress for our Tang Tang. Our eldest grandson's wedding must be grand!" Old Master Gu was extremely excited. Having a granddaughter-in-law meant having a great-grandson, and having a great-grandson meant that there would be a little cutie calling him great-grandfather!
Hai Tang did not expect that she would be pampered by the Gu family and given the best in everything just by coming to the Gu family.
Old Master Gu had even given her 3% of the Gu Corporation's shares. Don't underestimate this 3%; it wouldn't be a problem to earn a hundred million in dividends every year.
Hai Tang did not dare to accept such a big gift.
However, Old Master Gu said that he had another gift for Gu Yun to give to her personally later. It was the real token of the Gu family.
"By the way, where's your marriage certificate?" Zhu Min thought about how she had said so much just now and had actually forgotten such an important thing. She had to see the marriage certificate of these two people with her own eyes!
Old Master Gu was also looking on eagerly. Finally, Gu Yun took out two red booklets from his pocket.
Zhu Min and Old Master Gu opened them one by one and carefully looked at the names on them. Gu Yun and Hai Tang. The names were correct, the date of birth was correct, and the date of registration was May 20th[1]. What a good day!
Zhu Min quickly took a photo and recorded it, then posted it on social media to show off.
