The Marriage Proposal Arrives

1/4/2026

Cecilia Gu barely had time to rest before she hurried to the door to greet the guests.

As soon as Cecilia reached the door, she saw a black Santana 2000 arrogantly blocking the entrance to the Gu family house.

Cecilia frowned slightly. With this car blocking the entrance, it was inconvenient for people to pass by.

Before Cecilia could say anything, the driver revved the engine after parking, showing off for attention.

It's just a Santana 2000, is it really worth showing off?

Among her colleagues at the company, not a single car was worth less than two hundred thousand yuan.

As they say, driving a car worth less than two hundred thousand yuan is an insult to being an employee of the Yin Corporation!

Cecilia saw a tall, skinny young man step out of the driver’s seat, dressed in clothes that couldn’t have cost more than three hundred yuan from a street stall. He arrogantly said to his mother, who was as round as a ball, “So this is Gu Zhenzhen’s house. Mom, are we really going to give a thirty-thousand-yuan betrothal gift?”

The mother, already round as a ball, replied with a smile, “Thirty thousand is a lot! It’s not easy to make money these days! No matter how much we give, it’ll all end up in our family sooner or later! Besides, if we give a betrothal gift, their family will have to provide a dowry, right?”

They really know how to calculate things!

They haven't even gotten married yet, and they're already scheming!

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Jenny Gu, Cecilia's cousin. Grandma asked me to come here and greet you personally. Please, come this way." Jenny Gu stepped forward, pretending not to hear anything, and greeted everyone politely.

The chubby head of the man's family snorted through his nose, ignoring Jenny Gu and walking ahead. But the young man took a careful look at Jenny Gu.

Jenny Gu quickly led the guests into the house, but as soon as they entered, she was pushed aside by the elders and became almost invisible.

Grandma Gu and the other elders were incredibly enthusiastic toward the man's family, ordering Helen Gu to serve tea and water like she was a servant.

Cecilia Gu felt sorry for her mother and took care of everything before Helen Gu could even move.

When the groom's family offered a betrothal gift of thirty thousand yuan, Jenny Gu deliberately glanced at Cecilia Gu.

In their circle, the usual betrothal gift is only twenty thousand or so. The groom's family offered thirty thousand, which made the Gu family feel proud and treat them even more politely.

Cecilia Gu and Helen Gu stood to the side, without even a seat, let alone a cup of tea.

Just after Cecilia Gu brought over the tea, Jenny Gu's parents immediately sent her off to help in the kitchen.
