473: Dad agreed.

When everyone left the study, besides Father Gu, whose expression was unpleasant, everyone else looked happy.

After a while, Father Gu walked upstairs and knocked on the door.

“Daughter.”

“Dad.”

Xiao Niannian opened the door.

Father Gu walked into the room and looked at his daughter.

“It was my fault just now, and I apologize to you...”

“Dad, I’m the one who should apologize.” Xiao Niannian said, apologizing.

“No, it’s that I haven’t cared enough about you...”

Xiao Niannian’s eyes reddened seeing the look of guilt on her father’s face.

“Dad, actually, it was only a few days ago that I agreed to date Lu Jing...”

Hearing this, Father Gu looked at his daughter in surprise.

“I know you can’t bear to part with me, and I can’t bear to part with you and the Grandparents either.” Xiao Niannian pulled her father’s hand and helped him sit on the sofa.

“I also agreed to filing the dating report,” Xiao Niannian continued. “Dad, do you think anyone in this Compound, or rather, among other people, is better than Lu Jing? There are several people as excellent as Lu Jing, but some already have partners, and some are already married. The Lu Family and our Gu Family have had a marriage engagement since childhood, and we like each other, so we are just fulfilling the engagement...”

“As for others, Dad, can you trust them? Can others trust them?”

Father Gu didn't pay much attention to the previous few sentences. There were indeed several people as excellent as Lu Jing, but some weren't in their Faction. Now, the Lu Family certainly couldn't marry into the enemy side.

He couldn't trust his precious daughter marrying other people, and by “others” in the second sentence, his daughter meant those people behind the scenes.

“We still haven’t found Mom, and we must investigate thoroughly what happened back then to find out who the enemy is...”

Father Gu looked at his daughter in surprise. He knew his daughter was smart, but he didn't expect her to be this smart. Although his daughter had been trying to find his wife for over a year, this was the first time she had spoken these words aloud.

“Father agrees.”

Xiao Niannian talked with her father for half an hour. When she came out, Chief Gu’s complexion was much better.

After going downstairs and returning to his room, Chief Gu called Chief Lu.

“Old Lu.”

Chief Lu’s voice sounded on the phone.

“Old Gu, hahaha, I was just about to call you...”

Lu Family.

Lu Jing returned home, and Grandpa Lu looked at him with displeasure.

“Come into the study with me.”

Lu Jing immediately followed him into the study.

“Kneel down.”

Hearing his grandfather’s words, Lu Jing immediately knelt down.

Grandma Lu spoke up, wanting to protect her Grandson.

“Old man.”

“Don’t speak.”

Grandpa Lu looked angrily at Lu Jing, took his cane, and hit him hard three times.

Lu Jing straightened his back and did not dodge, taking the three blows head-on.

Grandma Lu felt a little distressed. She narrowed her eyes and waited until the old man finished hitting before looking at her Eldest Grandson.

“If you like Niannian, pursue her properly. Go tell the Old Gu Family! Why are you secretly trying to file a dating report? Are you trying to act first and report later?”

Grandpa Lu gave Lu Jing a thorough scolding.

“Old man, don’t hurt yourself by getting angry...”

Lu Jing knelt there and explained.

“Grandpa, I pursued her properly, and I filed the dating report with Niannian’s consent. I had planned to go to the Gu Family these two days to tell Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu and ask for their approval...”

“Go to the Gu Family? Old Man Gu definitely knows about this now. If you go now, do you believe they might beat you out with a cane? And that brat Gu Qi must be grinding his teeth in hatred toward you...”

“I’ll go even if they beat me.”

After scolding him for a while, Lu Jing was finally allowed to stand up.

“You said Niannian agreed to date you? And agreed to file the dating report with you?”

At this moment, Grandpa Lu looked at Lu Jing with a delighted expression, like a spectator enjoying gossip.

Lu Jing nodded.

“You brat, you truly are my Grandson! You didn’t disappoint me... Hahaha.”

Grandma Lu looked at the old man’s appearance, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Tomorrow, we will visit the Gu Family again. If Old Man Gu and Gu Qi beat you, you just take it...”

Lu Jing smiled after coming out of the study.

He heard his grandfather calling his father.

“Eldest, come back after work. You’ll go to the Gu Family with us tomorrow...”

Lu Jing returned to his room and called Niannian’s house.

“Niannian.”

Xiao Niannian answered the phone.

“Mm.”

“My grandfather hit me today, three cane strikes. My legs are swollen...”

Hearing his words, Xiao Niannian detected a hint of coquetry.

No way, did she mishear?

“Take the bottle of Dit Da Jiu from the medical kit I gave you and rub it on.”

“Okay.”

After talking for a while, Lu Jing brought up the matter of coming to the Gu Family tomorrow.

“Niannian, my Grandparents and parents will come to your house tomorrow to propose marriage and discuss our engagement...”

That fast?

Didn’t Father just agree?

Xiao Niannian immediately realized that Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Lu, Father Gu, and Uncle Lu must have communicated beforehand.

“Mm.”

Xiao Niannian hummed in affirmation.

Hearing Niannian’s response, Lu Jing said.

“I hunted a pair of wild geese; I’ll bring them over tomorrow.”

Huh?

“When did you hunt a pair of wild geese?”

Xiao Niannian asked doubtfully.

Lu Jing had been with her these past few days, and they didn’t hunt any wild geese that day.

“I hunted them before.”

Xiao Niannian didn’t ask further.

After Lu Jing finished the call, his face was beaming with joy.

He went downstairs again and headed to the backyard, where he kept the wild geese he had hunted.

He had long ago selected a pair of wild geese, and he would take them to the Gu Family tomorrow.

Seeing the Eldest Grandson coming out of the backyard, Grandpa Lu went back into the room.

“That brat Xiao Jing went to the backyard again. He must be looking at that pair of wild geese again.”

“What’s wrong with looking at wild geese? You should be relieved that he is so dedicated. Come over and check these gifts again, see if there’s anything else to add... These are extras, look at which ones should be included...”

Hearing his spouse’s words, Grandpa Lu said.

“The items must be the best, but the rest can be sent by Xiao Jing to Niannian’s house. After all, we can’t make too much fanfare here...”

Grandma Lu looked at Grandpa Lu with displeasure.

“What do you mean, can’t make too much fanfare? We’ve been extremely low-key for so many years. Now that the Gu Family and the Lu Family are intermarrying, we should be open about it, letting all those demons and monsters reveal themselves...”

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. But regarding the gifts, you still have to listen to me. If word gets out...”

Grandpa Lu pointed upward.

“The children’s current positions are not suitable... Antiques and gold and silver jewelry are also not suitable to be brought out publicly...”

“Of course, I know this.”

“I need to call the Eldest Son’s Wife again.”
