Chapter 2942 Gift!

Guan Xiaoguan was just teasing Han Chunming to stop his sharp tongue, but now that he saw Han Chunming was in low spirits, he immediately became very obedient and stood behind Grandpa Guan.

However, Guan Xiaoguan's gaze kept falling on Wang Yue, and whenever their eyes met, she couldn't help but hide.

Wang Xia noticed Guan Xiaoguan's actions. Although she was very happy for her good friend, Wang Yue was, after all, her brother, and she couldn't help but think about him.

So, Wang Xia whispered to Wang Yue, "Brother, although I think Xiao Guan is a good person, have you really thought it through? That's your lifelong happiness. You can't just agree to it just to make Uncle Guan happy."

Hearing Wang Xia's caring words, Wang Yue had to admit that he hadn't spoiled his younger sister for nothing; she wasn't like other girls who would side with outsiders.

However, when it comes to the issue of elbows turning outward, the feeling varies depending on the perspective.

If your girlfriend sides with you, that's definitely something to enjoy.

But if it's your own daughter who sides with outsiders, then it feels incredibly heartbreaking.

Wang Yue was satisfied with Wang Xia's reaction, so he comforted her, saying, "I'm busy with important matters today and don't have time to find someone I like. My mom is also urging me to find someone who likes me, so it's fine to find someone who likes me!"

Wang Xia felt somewhat disappointed, because in her opinion, her brother was so outstanding, yet he couldn't find someone he liked.

Fortunately, she was past the age of prioritizing love above all else. She believed that Guan Xiaoguan would definitely treat her brother well, and that her brother would definitely be happy.

Everyone present was preoccupied with their own thoughts, so the atmosphere became somber. Fortunately, the opera performance on stage never stopped, which masked all of this.

When the brother and sister returned home, Wang Xia finally understood why Wang Yue was willing to accept Guan Xiaoguan directly.

As soon as Wang Yue's mother saw him come home, she exaggeratedly looked behind him, then immediately asked with a stern face, "Didn't you say you weren't allowed to come back without your girlfriend? What are you doing back here?"

When Wang Qingshan saw his daughter return, he stubbed out his cigarette and echoed her with dissatisfaction.
"I always said that Xiao Guan was a good match. I don't know what this kid was thinking, he should marry her sooner so we can have a grandson sooner."

Wang Xia doesn't have Wang Yue's abilities. Her work is very energy-consuming, so she doesn't go home often because she's busy with work.

Now, seeing the family's attitude when Wang Yue returned home, Wang Xia finally understood why Wang Yue had gone to Guan Xiaoguan.

Firstly, her parents liked Guan Xiaoguan, and secondly, Guan Xiaoguan liked Wang Yue.

Wang Xia glanced at Wang Yue with sympathy, then feigned surprise and said, "Dad, how did you know that my brother was going to lock up my sister?"

Wang Qingshan was used to being frugal and didn't want to smoke in front of his daughter, so he was about to put away the half-smoked cigarette butt. But after hearing what Wang Xia said, he stopped.

Grandma Wang was the first to react. She excitedly grabbed Wang Xia and asked,
"Xiaxia, what did you say to him?"

Seeing her parents' excited expressions, Wang Xia didn't keep them in suspense and said with a smile,

"My brother just discussed it with Grandpa Guan and asked you two to discuss the wedding date. Grandpa Guan has already agreed."

Upon hearing the definite answer, Grandma Wang clapped her hands excitedly.
"That's great, Lao Wang. Go and prepare the gifts. We're going to visit Grandpa Guan now."

Wang Qingshan's smile stretched almost to his ears. He stuffed the half-smoked cigarette butt into his pocket, but accidentally burned himself and quickly put it in the ashtray next to him.

He patted his clothes somewhat nervously before excitedly saying, "I'm getting ready to go right now!"

Looking at his parents' excited expressions, Wang Yue said helplessly,
"Dad, Mom, it's alright, I've already had it prepared. You can just take it over later."

Wang Xia was a little surprised. Her brother had just been saying he hadn't found anything he liked, so how come he had already prepared all the things? She asked excitedly.

"Brother, what gift did you prepare? Didn't you just say you couldn't find one you liked?"

Wang Yue walked ahead, and Wang Xia followed closely behind, eager to see for herself.

Wang Yue had indeed prepared something, but it was just a set of gold jewelry, carved according to the style he remembered Guan Yinping wearing.

Of course, it's not that Wang Yue suddenly missed Guan Yinping and didn't want to think about other girls; it's just that when he was studying antiques, he couldn't help but want to carve them himself.

There happened to be a girl surnamed Guan nearby, so Wang Yue naturally thought of her.

Moreover, Wang Yue did not show favoritism; he also prepared a set for Wang Xia. So when he returned to his room, he took out both sets of jewelry.

He pushed one of the jewelry boxes with Wang Xia's name on it in front of Wang Xia, and handed the other set to Wang's mother. "Mom, I made this myself. It has some sentimental value. You can give it to Grandpa Guan to show our sincerity."

Wang Xia held her own box without even looking at it, but instead craned her neck to look at what Wang Laoma was holding.

Grandma Wang was also very curious. She knew her daughter couldn't resist either, so she opened it directly.

A set of glittering gold jewelry, each piece exquisitely carved, is a delight to behold.

Wang Xia, with her sharp eyes, noticed a hairpin engraved with the character "Guan" (关). As if she had discovered a secret, she immediately asked in astonishment,
"Big brother, didn't you say you hadn't found anything you liked? You've already made jewelry for Sister Guan so early!"

Seeing that his younger sister Wang Xia had suddenly become squeamish, Wang Yue said in an annoyed tone,
"I initially treated Xiaoguai like a younger sister, not as if I were creating a dollhouse for both of you!"

Although Wang Xia was still somewhat skeptical, he opened his box and found that the jewelry inside seemed to be almost identical, except for the different names carved on them.

But Wang's mother was a little jealous. She sighed and said, "They say that sons forget their mothers after they get married. You haven't even gotten married yet, and you've already forgotten me."

Upon realizing she had caused trouble for her brother, Wang Xia immediately tried to appease her mother.

"Mom, my brother isn't that kind of person. You'll be enjoying a comfortable life from now on."

Grandma Wang said with dissatisfaction, "You've already received your jewelry and gifts, so of course you have no objections. But I haven't received anything."

Wang Yue was somewhat amused and exasperated. He took another box from the drawer, pushed it in front of his mother, and said,
"Mom, I was originally planning to give this to you on your fiftieth birthday, but I'm giving it to you early now."

Wang Xia immediately reached out and snatched it. When she opened it, she found that it was a five-piece set of gold jewelry: a pair of bracelets, a pair of earrings, and a pair of necklaces!
Just by looking at the weight of the necklace and bracelet, you can tell that they are meant for an older person, which shows that Wang Yue really put his heart into the gift for his mother.

She shoved the gift into Grandma Wang's hand and quickly coaxed her, "Mom, how about buying another one? How could my brother forget you?"

Grandma Wang happily accepted the box, turned around and went back to her room. Before disappearing, she said, "This kid still has some conscience. But don't forget your dad's gift."

Wang Yue looked up and met Wang Qingshan's gaze. He knew his father was clearly envious, so he took out another pipe and a box of tobacco, and said with a smile,

“Dad, you also have the best tobacco leaves and pipe specially found for you. Smoking this is much healthier than the ordinary cigarettes you buy.”

Wang Qingshan couldn't help but laugh. He quickly took it, but said with a sigh,
"If you give me something else, I won't take it, but I'll keep this pipe."

Wang Yue shook his head and reminded him, "Remember to drink the herbal tea I gave you, otherwise don't smoke."

Wang Qingshan nodded quickly and happily began to play with his pipe.

However, her joy was short-lived, as Grandma Wang urged, "Hurry up and pack your things, we still have to go to Lao Guan's place."

Only then did Wang Qingshan remember his business. He carefully put away his pipe and left with his mother.

Actually, the couple also had a concern: Guan Xiaoguan's parents weren't coming back, so how long would the wedding be delayed?
However, their worries were unfounded. Although Grandpa Guan's health had improved a lot after Wang Yue's treatment, he was still over seventy years old.

He certainly didn't want to delay the wedding any longer, and Guan Xiaoguan also wanted to marry Wang Yue as soon as possible, so he set the wedding date for the National Day holiday.

There are still more than two months until October 1st. If Guan's parents can come back in time, it's still possible.

Unfortunately, Guan's parents don't want to come back at all. They both feel that Guan Xiaoguan is in too much of a hurry to get married at this time, and they even asked her to postpone it over the phone.

Unfortunately, neither Guan Xiaoguan nor Grandpa Guan listened to them. Although they were very unwilling, they still planned to rush back for the wedding.

However, the two were clearly unhappy, so when Wang Yue received news of their return and went to visit them, they were obviously not happy.

Grandpa Guan noticed the expressions on the two men's faces and, worried that their words might affect Wang Yue and Guan Xiaoguan's marriage, completely disregarded Wang Yue's presence and coldly snorted, saying...
"Who are you two trying to impress with those gloomy faces?"

People say raising children is for old age security, but you, as their son, knew I was here, yet you ran off abroad. Now that you've finally come back, you're giving me attitude?

Seeing that the old man was angry, Mr. Guan could only say helplessly, "Dad, that's not what I meant. I just said that Xiao Guan's wedding was arranged too hastily, and we haven't prepared much."

Grandpa Guan said irritably, "What are you preparing? Are you even preparing a dowry? Come, let me see what kind of dowry you've prepared."

Mrs. Guan already had a problem with her father-in-law, because she felt that going abroad with her husband was a luxury, but Mr. Guan disagreed. If Mr. Guan hadn't listened to her, her dream of going abroad would probably have been shattered.
