Chapter 1381: Marrying Off a Daughter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Ying had known all along about Gu Juexi’s love for Ye Yuwei, but she was moved by the way he ate the glutinous rice b.a.l.l.s.
The man was indeed sincere towards her daughter.
Bai Ying held Ye Yuwei’s hand. “It might be late for me to say this, but I would like to tell you anyway. Once you marry into the Gu family, you will be a daughter-in-law of the family. You must set a good example, and most importantly, lead a good life.”
Ye Yuwei listened with her head lowered and nodded in acknowledgement.
Bai Ying looked at Gu Juexi. “Gu Juexi, my daughter likes you so I don’t want to make her sad, but that doesn’t mean I’ve accepted you. If you dare upset her, I will take her away.”
That was a clear threat.
Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei’s right hand tightly and promised, “I won’t let you have the chance.”
Ye Yuwei felt tears pooling in her eyes again but she didn’t say anything. She didn’t know what else she could say at this point.
Bai Ying’s appearance was so unexpected. She knew that this surprise had been prepared by Gu Juexi because he didn’t want her to have any regrets.
“It’s about time. Let’s go,” Mrs. Xiao reminded them.
Gu Juexi helped Ye Yuwei stand up. Ye Yuwei wanted to ask if Bai Ying would go to the Xi Wei Resort but she held her tongue. Bai Ying’s appearance itself was a miracle, how could she ask for more?
“Go.” Bai Ying also stood up and squeezed her daughter’s hand.
Ye Shu, can you see this? Our daughter married the right man.
Although you’ll never know it.
Gu Juexi carried Ye Yuwei out of the Xiao family’s house. Xixi wanted to go in the same car as them.
The groomsmen drove the bridesmaids, and Lu Qichuan brought Ye Xicheng because PA Wen was driving the bridal car.
Bai Ying stood at the window and watched as the cars departed.
Mrs. Xiao brought a gla.s.s of water to Bai Ying. “Marrying off a daughter is like giving a piece of your heart away, but as parents we can’t expect to keep them by our side forever.”
Bai Ying held the gla.s.s, her eyes becoming gla.s.sy. “From her birth until now, I’ve never taken care of her. I should be thankful that she doesn’t blame me.”
“Weiwei is a good child. Besides, no parent would willingly give their child away if it wasn’t for circ.u.mstances,” Mrs. Xiao said gently when all the cars were gone. “Isn’t their happiness what we hope for?”
Bai Ying nodded and looked at Mrs. Xiao. “Thank you for taking care of Weiwei all these years.”
Mrs. Xiao leaned against the window as well. “Actually, we didn’t do much. She was close to Jingjing and she’s a sensible child. Both me and Jingjing’s father know that when Jingjing was in B city, Weiwei took great care of her.”
Both mothers looked outside contemplatively. They had both been daughters once and now they were mothers—mothers who had married off their daughters.
There was a sense of loss, but also rea.s.surance.
A fleet of luxury cars drove towards Xi Wei Resort, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Sitting in Nalan Chunbo’s Lamborghini’s pa.s.senger seat was Mo Fei.
Mo Fei didn’t care about femininity and propped her feet up on the dashboard in front of her. “What did you do to her? Why is she avoiding you?”
