Chapter 2023: Chapter 2021: Do You Know Who He’s Marrying?

After lunch, Qiaoqiao remembered something and curiously asked Chu Chengfeng, "I heard from Xiao Yu that some of her classmates applied for temporary jobs at your place. How did they perform?"

Chu Chengfeng was momentarily stunned and then recalled, "Oh, you’re talking about those college students, right? They’re not bad. The boys are smart, capable, and quite charming. They quickly got into the swing of things."

Chu Chengfeng didn’t know Qi Fangxiu, so naturally, Qiaoqiao didn’t bring him up separately to avoid arousing their suspicion.

Qiaoqiao also didn’t stay to be the third wheel for the couple. After all, Chu Chengfeng had to work in the afternoon. The young couple was sweet and loving, and she couldn’t just sit in the middle all the time, it would ruin the atmosphere.

So Qiaoqiao said goodbye and drove to the Gu Family’s jewelry company.

Before she left, seeing Chu Chengfeng’s smiling expression, Qiaoqiao guessed that maybe he already had some idea, but was worried in case it was all for nothing, so he remained silent.

The little regret was that from their expressions, Qiaoqiao couldn’t really tell this. It was probably because the time was too short, and their life signs weren’t strong enough yet, so she couldn’t see it.

When Qiaoqiao arrived at the jewelry company and entered her office, not long after, Gu Muran walked in with a cheerful smile.

"Big brother, why are you so happy?"

Qiaoqiao asked with a similarly cheerful smile.

This cousin of hers was good looking, and with the experience he gained in the business world over the years, he had a calm demeanor, which was very attractive to the ladies.

It’s just that nobody knows whether he hasn’t met the right person, or if his standards are too high, but he’s still single at the moment. Yet, his face doesn’t indicate any romantic flares.

"Xiao Jun has been recommended for a PhD abroad." Gu Muran said happily.

Xiao Jun is Gu Muran’s younger brother, Gu Mujun. He did very well in school, and his performance was excellent. He had already graduated from graduate school; unexpectedly, he was accepted as a doctoral candidate to study abroad. Although in terms of cost, the Gu Family didn’t mind spending the money, it was a significant honor.

Especially for the Gu Family in Jinling City, it was even more important.

Qiaoqiao was also delighted, "Wow, that’s amazing! When is he leaving? I’ll get him a gift."

"This June. We are currently handling the necessary paperwork."

Gu Muran was also filled with joy.

Although Qiaoqiao didn’t quite understand the timing arrangement, hearing there were several months left, she wasn’t in a rush. Then she heard Gu Muran continue cheerfully, "Qiaoqiao, you might soon receive Uncle Fang’s wedding invitation."

"Uncle Fang?"

Qiaoqiao immediately understood, "Oh, it’s Uncle Fang Liang."

There hadn’t been any news about him for a long time, but she knew the general information. After he returned, he took over the family business from the old master, and it’s said to have multiplied several times over under his management.

He is getting married. Who is he marrying? Is it the woman who has been waiting for him all along?

Qiaoqiao quickly asked, "Do you know who he’s marrying?"

This was very important. If it wasn’t Tian Dan, Qiaoqiao decided to put Fang Liang on her permanent blacklist, with no excuses.

"It’s Aunt Tian Dan, who grew up with him. Aunt Tian has waited for him all these years, and now they’ve finally weathered the storm to see the moon at the end."

Qiaoqiao smiled, "Then I must attend the wedding celebration."

"Qiaoqiao, their wedding is set for January 20th."

Gu Muran continued in a relaxed tone, "When the time comes, we’ll go together. Ah Ze will surely have time, right?"

This wasn’t something she could guarantee, but if she wanted, Qin Yize would definitely make time.

Then, calculating the dates, she frowned slightly, "The timing is quite rushed. They haven’t even sent the invitation yet. If we need to head out, we should do so in a few days. Do you know today is already January 12th?"

Before Gu Muran could speak, Qiaoqiao was somewhat surprised, "Why is the schedule so urgent?"

"Actually, it wasn’t Uncle Fang and them who decided the date, but the old master insisted. He has endured so much hardship for them over the years, this was his only request, to have the wedding before the Lunar New Year on January 20th, which is the 28th day of the 12th lunar month. Though the day itself is quite ordinary and has some taboos, the old master was firm on this date, and nobody could sway him, so they had to agree. Aunt Tian’s family was also happy about it, so the date was set this way."

"Oh, so that’s the case." Qiaoqiao understood and then said, "But Old Master Fang indeed had it tough. Uncle Fang was unable to manage for years, and he took care of everything at home and outside. Now that Uncle Fang has recovered, the old master’s concerns have eased. He certainly wishes to see him settle down and start a family sooner."

"Yes, although time is tight, the more people, the stronger the will. The invitations should arrive soon."

Just as they mentioned it, the secretary knocked and indeed brought in a wedding invitation.

It was addressed to both Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Muran.

Qin Yize had his separate invitation sent to the Qin Group, and there’s no way Xiao Wen and Chu Chengfeng would be left out.

Fang Liang had Xiao Wen’s number, and the person he really wanted to invite was Elder Sima. But since Elder Sima’s whereabouts are unpredictable, contacting him depends on luck. Having the phone with him was like how it was for Gu Junbai — just for show, rarely used.

Gu Muran added, "Aunt Tian actually wanted to hold the wedding quietly, given the age factor. But this time it was Uncle Fang who insisted—if they’re going to do it, they should do it well. He said he couldn’t let Aunt Tian have any regrets."

"Then they must have invited a lot of people. By the way, did they invite my second uncle?"

Gu Muran nodded and sighed, "Actually, my dad had no expectations, yet Uncle Fang personally called him."

"Did they both essentially let go of the past?"

Qiaoqiao curiously inquired.

Gu Muran slightly frowned, "No, they can never return to how things were. I think Uncle Fang made the call out of consideration for you and Sister Xiao Wen."

With a brief thought, Qiaoqiao waved her hand, "Forget it, whatever the reason, this is surely a positive thing for my second uncle. At least it’s not the animosity of the past."

Since they were planning to go to Jinling City for the wedding, they had to prepare ahead. However, for Qiaoqiao now, having a personal space was very convenient, as many things could be stored in there.

Qiaoqiao even shamelessly thought about placing Ah Ze and the two kids in the space, saving effort, money, and trouble.
