4721 Never Too Late to Love (128)
“Yes, Sheng’er says she prefers a wedding vacation.” After a pause, Gu Chengze continued, “However, if we got married while traveling, it will not conflict with the ceremony. It will not be a problem for her to come back and hold another ceremony. I think Sheng’er would like to hold a ceremony too, but with her situation, she might encounter some awkwardness.”
“Awkwardness?” Chu He did not quite understand and was stunned for a moment. “What awkwardness?”
“Sheng’er’s parents pa.s.sed away when she was young, didn’t they? She had been cut off from most of the relatives. She doesn’t have any close friends or cla.s.smates either. Her relations.h.i.+p with her colleagues is not exceptional, and there aren’t many people close to her. Who will give her away?”
Chu He smiled when she heard this. “Have you forgotten? When I married your father, I had no parents to give me away. The ceremony went very well nevertheless.”
!!Gu Chengze nodded. “That’s true, but I can’t remember the wedding process.”
Chu He glared at him. “Other than Sheng’er, do you remember anything else?”
“… I remember how you and Dad used to beat me up.”
Chu He was both exasperated and amused to hear this. “Don’t you remember anything good about others?”
“There are too many good things about Mom, so it’s easier to remember the bad.” Gu Chengze’s words were like honey.
All along, Chu He was most satisfied with the ‘development’ of her son’s EQ. When he was a child, he was clumsy, silly, and never knew the right things to say. He often bickered with Gu Jinglian. The father and son pair argued endlessly.
As he grew older, he learned to say sweet nothings.
This is what human beings are like, they like to hear pleasant words.
And she found this satisfying.
“Alright, if you really wish for a wedding vacation, it’s fine. We’ll hold a ceremony when you return. Marriage is between the two of you. You don’t really have to ask for our opinion.”
“It’s better to ask.” Gu Chengze cleared his throat. “Otherwise, how can we get back the gift money that has gone out?”
Ever since they were young, Chu He and Gu Jinglian had given out a tremendous amount of gift money at weddings. No matter what, they had to make it back.
Moreover, Mu Yazhe had a bet with Gu Jinglian. Whichever family hosted a wedding first would have to gift a seven-figure sum.
Seven figures… It was very impressive. Because of this, Gu Chengze wanted to host a wedding ceremony.
When he was twiddling thumbs in the office one day, he had even done the math. If he were to get married, he could at least get back an eight-figure gift money.
At that point, the amount would comfortably fund another villa.
Chu He couldn’t help laughing when she heard this. “Yes, we have to hold a wedding ceremony for this reason. I’d have forgotten about it if you hadn’t mentioned it. I’ve given out so much gift money, it has to come back somehow.”
“Uh huh.” Gu Chengze nodded. “In that case, why don’t we have a Western wedding? How about we hold it in a church?”
Chu He asked, “What does Sheng’er think? Does she want to hold the wedding in a church?”
“She prefers a western style wedding. I think she’d like a wedding in church. It’s grand and romantic.”
Chu He sighed.
One could hardly blame him for having so many concerns. He only wanted to give Bai Sheng a grand wedding.
“You two can discuss it, your opinion matters the most.”
Gu Chengze nodded, but went straight to the point. “Will you and Dad sponsor it?”
