520 Visiting the Rao family!!
"Grandpa, I understand your concern. But I have already thought it through. I can't explain much but at the moment I need to receive the Mu family's consent. I know that Sia had only returned this year and the Rao family would like to keep her around for a few more years to which I'm not gonna oppose. I'm willing to wait until they give their consent and only then will I marry Sia. But right now what I need is their consent to this engagement. I plan to announce the marriage between the two family tommorow and I don't want to do it without their consent. And, even if I don't announce it, it would not be long when news about my engagement with Sia would spread. At that time Mr. Rao would definitely be annoyed and my path to marry Sia would only become much more difficult. Also, this is only the first step of my plan" You'll find the origin of this content at n0velb!n•
"Sigh, I don't know what problem you are facing now nor your plan. But Jun I still don't agree with you. Let's forget about the rest and only speak about the Bethroval gifts. Sia is going to be the future lady of the Mu's, not to mention she is your girlfriend and comes from an equally prestigious family. The dowry we give to our future lady cannot be ordinary. To our loved ones, we must give the best of everything we could afford. But now that you suddenly want to propose to her family, it's not gonna be easy to collect the bethroval at the short moment. Even If your dad and I use our whole connection, we will not be able to collect enough and I don't want the bethroval gifts to be insufficient or insignificant. That's why I want you to think this through" Grandpa Mu advised
"Grandpa, if bethroval gift is what worries you then that's unnecessary. Since the day Sia became my girlfriend, I have started to gather the bethroval gifts for her. I'm asking you to prepare some just as a formality. Also, I know better than anyone that My wife should have the best of best so you don't need to worry about my bethroval. All you need to do now is prepare your part of gift and get ready to face your future inlaws"
"Haha, Jun my cheeky boy, why didn't you say that you had already prepared the bethroval gifts earlier. But still, grandpa is very happy for you. When your father proposed to your mom he neither had flower nor ring, he fooled your mother into wearing our family heirloom necklace and later announced her as his fiance. Unlike your father you are much better. You atleast know the procedures for wooing your wife, Grandpa is very proud of you boy" Grandpa Mu laughed
Shaking his head, Mu Jun smiled helplessly. Thinking of something, Mu Jun said indifferently "Also, please keep an eye on your son. Don't let him bring that woman along. I don't want an outsider to ruin my happy event"
"Okay, okay I know. you don't have to worry about that" Grandpa Reassured
When the couple entered the house hand in hand, this was the scene they saw. A groups of servants were moving small and large gift boxes to the corner of the living room. Grandpa Rao was sitting on the sofa with a dark face as he watched th servants move the gifts, next to him sat Grandpa Mu who had a huge smile on his smile, the corner of his lips almost reaching his ears. Meanwhile on the single sofa sat Mr. Rao with a puffy face and right opposite him was Mr. Mu who had an indifferent expression (Not exactly).
Before Sia could understand what was going on, She saw Mr. Mu look up and for a moment she did not whether she was imagining things but when Mr. Mu saw them he looked like he could finally get rid of a huge burden. While Sia was still wondering if she was imagining things, she heard Mr. Mu ask warmly
"Son, you are finally here. Oh, Sia is also here, come over here both of you"
Hearing his fathers words, Mu Jun's lips twitched. This was the first time he had received such a warm and enthusiastic greeting from his father ever since he was born. Even when his mother was around he was never welcomed soo warmly like now. Looking at his father and then at the annoyed Mr. Rao, Mu Jun sighed deeply.
Stepping forward with Sia hand in hand, the couple greeted all the elders present before taking their seat on the other side of the sofa.
For a moment there was extreme silence in the hall since no one took the initiative to speak. It was only when Mrs. Rao walked in, the stressful silence ended.
