Chapter 691: Mother-in-law Meets Son-in-law (4)

Qiao Yuying’s eyes turned watery. She did not look at Gu Qingyao and instead turned her head away, unwilling to let her daughter see her pained yet emotional side.

Gu Qingyao remained silent as she knew that her mother must be delighted yet upset at this instant. Thus, she waited in silence for Qiao Yuying to recompose herself.

Indeed, after some time, Qiao Yuying smiled in reply, “All right, once you complete your studies, I’ll bring you back.”

“Mhm!”

Qiao Yuying thought her obedient daughter would not have anything else to say after this.

But this young lady was still beside her, and she still looked like she had something to say.

Qiao Yuying arched her brow. “Do you still have something to say?”

Gu Qingyao’s smile became even more obsequious. “Uh... there’s still another matter...”

“What is it...”

“Actually... it’s nothing much! It’s just... just... my boyfriend is here!”

Qiao Yuying: ...

Qiao Yuying was stunned for a long while. Her daughter had already grown up and was already at the age to date.

After interacting with her daughter for about three years, Qiao Yuying already understood her daughter’s character: This young lady usually appeared obedient and likable but in actual fact, she had a great temper!

She was extremely picky. Which young fellow could catch her eye?

Qiao Yuying gained an interest. “Oh? Who is it? Your classmate?”

Gu Qingyao chuckled. “Uh... could be so!”

“What do you mean it could be so? It’s either yes or no. So is he your classmate or not?”

Gu Qingyao looked down. “Actually, not only is he my boyfriend, he’s my... fiance!”

“Fi... What did you say?”

Qiao Yuying’s mind exploded, and she bolted up immediately.

Gu Qingyao hurriedly explained, “Aiya, Mother, don’t be so agitated! I... I’m already engaged before I came abroad, and I almost married.”

Qiao Yuying: ...

All these years she had been with her daughter, she had been treating her as a child!

This...

“How old are you only? Your father already allowed you to be engaged to someone else? How does he take care of his daughter?”

Gu Qingyao pouted. “At our side, many girls younger than me are already married! It is considered normal to get married at that age.”

“How can that be the same?”

Qiao Yuying believed her daughter was different from the others, but Gu Qingyao was living in the country then, and Qiao Yuying could not point out any difference if she really had to do it.

Anyways, her daughter was just a child in her eyes. For the time being, she still could not believe that her daughter was already engaged and even almost got married?

After recalling carefully the situation back when she was still in the country, people indeed seemed to get married quite early, and she was also quite young when she got with Gu Yunshen!

But...

After being abroad for so many years, she got used to marrying at an older age and could not accept what Gu Qingyao told her suddenly!

Gu Qingyao said, “Brother Beihan grew up with me since young and treats me very well. My older cousins are all friends with him. Grandfather, Grandmother and Father watched him grow up as well and know him through and through. Thus, when his family proposed the marriage, Father naturally agreed!”

Gu Qingyao saw that her mother was quite shocked and hurriedly helped her to her seat. “Brother Beihan is neighbors with my family, and we grew up together. He is the most outstanding man there apart from my older cousins. When he was young, he always protected me, and when he grew older and found a job outside, he began to give me an allowance with his salary. Whenever he finds a good item outside, he would always think of bringing a share for me. He dotes on me as much as my older cousins.

“Initially, Father agreed to our engagement because, firstly, he trusts Brother Beihan’s character, and, secondly, he was worried that the Gu family would face trouble and thought I could avoid it if I was married away!”
