Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date

Regarding the marriage of Guan Juer and Zhou Chen, the parents of both sides discussed it. Guan Juer's parents made it clear that they did not want a dowry. They were marrying their daughter, not selling her.

Zhou Chen's family also agreed with this. In old Beijing, it is rare to ask for a bride price when getting married. It's not that they don't want to give it, but they just want to follow the local customs.

Of course, if Guan Juer's family had such a request, the Zhou family could also pay the betrothal gift, since they were not short of money anyway. However, the Guan family directly rejected this suggestion.

Upon seeing this, Mother Zhou immediately started talking about Zhou Chen and Guan Juer's marriage, hoping to hear the Guan family's advice.

"In-laws, we have two plans for marriage. Let me tell you and we can discuss it.

The first thing is to gather the relatives of both families in the imperial capital, make the wedding ceremony bigger, and give them a grand wedding.

The second option is for our two families to hold separate events. Zhou Chen and Guan Guan will hold a wedding banquet in the imperial capital, and then we will go to Guan Guan’s hometown to hold another banquet in your family’s name. We also have to take your relatives into consideration.

Of course, another reason for doing this is that Xiaochen's father is also in the system, so it's not appropriate to make the wedding banquet too high-profile. What are your opinions?"

Just as Mother Zhou finished speaking, Mother Guan had not yet responded, Zhou Chen took the initiative to speak out: "Uncle and Aunt, Guan Guan and I want to keep our marriage as simple as possible.

After May Day, Guan Guan and I will get our marriage certificate first. As for the honeymoon trip, we plan to postpone it. After all, it is not suitable for her to run around with a big belly.

When we get married, we can just gather relatives and friends and set up a dozen tables. There is really no need to make such a big fuss.

I believe that if we really make it a big deal, many of the guests who come will be your connections, which will make us feel uncomfortable."

Zhou Chen's proposal was not approved by his parents. It is understandable that you postpone your honeymoon, but isn't it a bit too shabby to only set up a dozen tables for the banquet?

"You little bastard, marriage is a major event in life, what nonsense are you talking about?

I said we should keep a low profile when we get married, but I didn't say we'd only have a dozen tables of banquets. That's a lot of space, and we can't even accommodate our own relatives and friends. Do you want others to stab us in the back?"

Mother Zhou quickly expressed her dissatisfaction. A company as large as the Xingchen Group must have a lot of interpersonal relationships. As a member of the wealthy circle in the imperial capital, the eldest son of the Zhou family cannot lose face when getting married.

Zhou Chen wanted to explain, but even Guan's mother objected, saying, "My dear relatives, children nowadays value freedom and individuality. We can't listen to them when it comes to such a big thing as marriage. They simply don't understand the importance of relationships with relatives and friends.

Otherwise, let's take the second plan. We will both hold a banquet, but more than a dozen tables is indeed a bit stingy, and we can't even accommodate our relatives and friends.

If people knew that I didn't invite people to drink at my daughter's wedding, they would blame me."

When Mother Zhou saw that Mother Guan supported the second plan, they immediately agreed, and the most troublesome problem was solved.

Next, they discussed the details of the wedding, that is, they had to choose an auspicious day for the wedding.

After all, Guan Juer's belly will get bigger and bigger as time goes by. It's better to do some things as soon as possible to avoid gossip.

The two parents immediately started a discussion, and this action actually left Zhou Chen and Guan Juer aside.

At this time, they are like tools. They are used when needed, and no one cares about them when not needed.

Zhou Chen looked at Guan Juer and said softly, "Ah, I really don't know whose wedding this is. It feels like they are more enthusiastic than us. This feeling is really a bit unpleasant."

Guan Juer also nodded. They didn't even ask for our opinions on our marriage. These two parents were really too domineering.

After the meal, the two parents had a very harmonious and satisfactory conversation. The final result was that after May Day, Zhou Chen and Guan Juer would get married in the imperial capital on April 8th, and on April 12th, they would go to Guan Guan's hometown to hold a banquet.

When Zhou Chen and Guan Juer learned the news, they did not object, as long as both parents were happy.

After dinner, Zhou Chen arranged for Guan’s father and mother to rest in his villa, and Guan Juer stayed at home with them.

After Zhou Chen left, the family of three of course had to discuss what happened today.

Guan's mother then joked, "Before we came here, we thought Zhou Chen's parents were difficult to get along with. After today's interaction, it seems we were worrying too much.

It turns out that rich people are not all arrogant. In today's conversation, the other party was not aggressive, which is also a good thing for us.

I think Zhou Chen's parents are pretty good. At least Guan Guan won't have to suffer from her mother-in-law's anger when she marries into the Zhou family."

When Guan Juer heard this, she quickly spoke up for Mother Zhou and said, "Mom, Mother Zhou is a very good person. Her family loves me very much. How could I be angry with her?

Don't say things like this again, lest people misunderstand you and it gets embarrassing."

"You naughty girl, is it illegal for your mother to say a few words? You have learned to be tactful, haven't you?"

Hearing this, Guan Ju felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, her father came to her rescue and said, "Our Guan Guan is so sensible and filial. How could Zhou Chen's mother bully her?

You just love to worry. Don't overthink things right now. Our daughter is getting married in a few days. This is a good thing, and we should be happy."

Mother Guan nodded, then looked at Guan Juer and reminded her not to lose her temper after marriage and that the couple should live a good life.

Guan Juer nodded to indicate that she understood. The more her mother told her, the more uncomfortable she felt. It was just marrying into another family as a daughter-in-law, not a separation of life and death. Why did it feel like her mother was getting more and more sentimental?

In the next two days, Zhou Chen took Guan's mother and father to visit many scenic spots in the imperial capital. On the third day, they asked to go home, under the pretext of going home to prepare for Guan Juer's wedding.

They are busy with tasks such as making guest lists and preparing invitations, and even booking hotels.

After all, Zhou Chen and Guan Juer were very pressed for time. After finishing their wedding arrangements in the imperial capital, they had to rush to Guan Guan's hometown.

They had no way of preparing for all the wedding matters, so they had to leave it to Guan Guan's parents. This saved Zhou Chen and Guan Juer a lot of trouble.

After sending his mother-in-law on the plane back to her hometown, Zhou Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qiu Yingying did not cause any trouble, and they finally sent their mother-in-law away.
