That night, Fang Tong had many dreams. When she was young, she went to the mountaintop with him to watch the sunrise. He hugged her tightly in his arms as he told her, “Tong Tong, when you are twenty-two years old, we will get married. I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world!”

Then, he disappeared from Fang Tong’s sight. Following that, a group of people rushed into the house and violently snatched all the valuable things. Fang Tong resisted with all her might. Then, she heard a loud crash coming from outside. She stumbled and pushed away the crowd, only to see her mother lying in a pool of blood.

Then, the large iron gate of the Gu family’s manor slowly opened. A blurry figure was waving at her from inside. “Fang Tong, from now on, you are the daughter-in-law of the Gu family!”

“Ah!”

Fang Tong woke up from her dream, and her body was covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, the alarm clock on the bedside rang. Fang Tong swallowed hard in fear. She turned around and took out her phone. She turned off the alarm clock, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom to turn on the tap and scooped a handful of cold water to wash her face. Her mind gradually calmed down.

“Dong! Dong!!”

There was a knock on the door. “Young Madam, are you awake?”

“I’m here.” Fang Tong hurriedly wiped the water stains off her face and went to open the door.

The maid held a bright red cheongsam with traditional embroidery on it. The pattern was a chirping phoenix.

“This is the wedding dress that the Madam sent over.” The maid handed the dress to Fang Tong. Then, she said, “The Madam said that it’s not convenient for the Young Master to move around now, so it’s not suitable for a large-scale wedding. When he’s better, he’ll definitely hold a grand wedding for you. You’ll have to wait for a period.”

In fact, even if Madam Gu didn’t mention it, Fang Tong had never thought of holding a grand wedding.

She and Gu Nancheng weren’t in a marriage where they loved each other. It didn’t matter whether there was a wedding or not.

“I understand. I’ll put it on now.”

The maid left the room. Fang Tong took off her pajamas and changed into a qipao.

The cut of the dress was perfect for Fang Tong’s figure. Moreover, the bright red color didn’t look tacky on Fang Tong. Instead, it served to accentuate her beauty. She looked innocent and charming, like a newly married woman.

After changing, Fang Tong took the elevator downstairs with the help of the maid and got into the Gu family’s car.

The wedding car set off from the apartment and circled the city three times. Finally, it returned to the Gu family’s manor and stopped at the gate of the manor.

Fang Tong got out of the car. Soon, someone brought up a few cakes wrapped in red paper. Fang Tong stepped on them step by step. When she was about to walk through the gate, the red cakes were replaced with a brazier.

Fang Tong held the hem of her dress and carefully walked over the brazier. Then, she stepped on the red carpet and slowly walked into the manor with the help of the servants.

In the living room.

Old Master Gu was sitting in the main seat. Mrs. Gu sat at the lower left of the old master today. A mother and son sat opposite her. They were the daughter-in-law and grandson of Old Master Gu’s brother. He was Gu Nancheng’s cousin, Gu Ting.

“Sister-in-law, today is a good day for you to become a mother-in-law. I wish you a grandson as soon as possible, preferably two in three years!” Lan Yue said with a smile.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her indifferently.

Gu Nancheng was on the brink of death. She didn’t even know how long she could keep her son. Now that she wished her a grandson as soon as possible, wasn’t she deliberately rubbing salt on her wound?

However, today was a day of great happiness, and Mrs. Gu couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. She just smiled and didn’t respond, which made Lan Yue unable to continue mocking her.
