Chapter 929: Should Hai Xue Host the Engagement Ceremony

Mengyu felt a stirring in her heart. Xiao Tao had mentioned that if she married Gu Dongxing, the Thunder system cultivation method would be free; if it was just an engagement, it would only cost ten thousand Merit Points.

Previously, Mengyu was still pondering how to get Gu Dongxing to propose an engagement. After all, it was not quite appropriate for her, as a girl, to bring it up.

Unexpectedly, after cooking a meal for her future father-in-law, she had gained his favor, and he proposed the engagement.

Although she and Gu Dongxing always referred to each other as fiancé and fiancée, they had never formally gotten engaged.

If Gu Ming hosted the engagement, that would be the best.

Gu Dongxing was surprised: "Dad, aren’t you afraid of the Nan Family?"

He wasn’t afraid, since the real Eldest Miss Nan was here anyway.

Gu Ming snorted: "What’s there to be afraid of? If the Nan Family fails in their proposal, would they actually retaliate?

Your father has always said, my son’s marriage should never be used as a political or any other kind of transaction. Your happiness is what’s most important. I don’t want you to repeat my mistakes!"

Gu Dongxing saw his father was sincere in his intentions. He really wanted to tell him that Mengyu was the Eldest Miss Nan, but after thinking it over, he decided against it.

Firstly, Mengyu had no plans to return to the Nan Family, and secondly, stating that Mengyu was the true lady would require explaining that Nan Mingzhu was a fake lady,

But in fact, Nan Mingzhu was not truly fake since her father was the late Master’s illegitimate son. Moreover, the origins of this illegitimate son were too strange, not to mention, his mother was a spy, so this matter was not suitable for disclosure.

He glanced at Mengyu, and seeing her nod, he said, "Alright, I’ll listen to Dad!"

Gu Ming was immediately pleased: "For such an important event as an engagement, your mom must be present. I’ll send someone to bring your mom up to the Capital City right away."

Upon hearing his mom would be brought up to Beijing, Gu Dongxing felt a bit hesitant. His mom didn’t quite approve of Mengyu, and it was only after Gu Minxing became Xiao Meng’s registered disciple, with Gu Minxing speaking in her ear, that she reluctantly agreed.

She’s easily influenced, so after coming to the Capital City, if someone whispers something into her ear, who knows if she’ll change her mind again?

Especially since she had already offended the Nan Family Eldest Miss by refusing her, might she do something unacceptable?

But, she is his mother, and for such a significant event as his engagement, not inviting her wouldn’t be appropriate either.

Forget it, better to hold the engagement ceremony first and then go back to ask for her forgiveness afterwards.

"Isn’t that a bit too troublesome?" he said, feeling a bit stifled.

Gu Dongxing naturally knew his ex-wife’s nature. To begin with, she was gentle and soft, always listening to him; later, after it was exposed she had foreign connections and they divorced, her temperament changed, always wanting to have her son bask in glory and outshine Yang Meiyin.

If she found out that Dongxing rejected the Nan Family Eldest Miss’s marriage, causing a disturbance during the engagement ceremony wouldn’t be so great.

So, he agreed: "Alright, let’s not call her here."

Mengyu, however, felt it wasn’t right: "Dongxing, if your mom doesn’t come, who will host the female guests? Surely it couldn’t be Aunt Yang, right?"

Not being able to attend her own son’s engagement ceremony while allowing a love rival to participate is something no woman could accept.

If such a situation occurs, it’s not others she would blame, but the daughter-in-law.
