Chapter 216: Engagement Dinner (8) (1/2)

And they were all imported watches.

Gu Qingyao was speechless. These were such expensive items!

Gu Jinfeng gave her a dashing smile. He patted Gu Qingyao’s head. “You’re getting engaged. Of course, I have to give the best. Every girl is vain! Now, you’re not permitted to wear jewelry, so you can only wear watches.”

Eldest Brother Gu Jinye smiled. “Don’t stand on ceremony. Your fourth brother is rich! You should just let him spend his money. Here, this is from me. Keep it and make two sets of clothes. You’ll look good in these colors.”

Gu Jinye gave her two pieces of woolen cloth. One was red with black checks and although it was expensive, it was more common. The other was a bright, pure red!

This was extremely rare. Gu Qingyao’s eyes brightened when she saw it!

“Wow! Eldest Brother, where did you get such beautiful woolen cloth? It’s so rare.”

In these times, items of this color were extremely rare.

Gu Jinye smiled. “I asked my friend to get it from Shanghai. The goods there are much nicer. I reserved it as a present for you when I came back. Since you were getting engaged, I didn’t take it out immediately. I went to town today to get this checked piece to give to you together!”

Gu Qingyao hugged them to herself with a smile. “Thank you, Eldest Brother!”

Gu Jinlin gave her two pairs of leather shoes and a small sling bag.

These were all thoughtful gifts. In these times, there were not many gifts for young girls. Except for watches, it would be clothes, or shoes or other things of that nature.

Xu Jingzhi walked in with a smile. He gave Gu Qingyao a fountain pen. It was pure black and its tip was slightly pink. It was beautiful!

“Thank you, Elder Brother Xu!”

Xu Jingzhi knew the Gu brothers and Mo Beihan, but this was the first time he was seeing Gu Qingyao after she had grown up. He had heard the Gu brothers mention her numerous times, but he seldom saw her.

He recalled that he had met Gu Qingyao once a few years ago, but at that time, Gu Qingyao was still a child. He remembered that she had been a very pretty little girl, but now in a blink of an eye, she was all grown up!
