Chapter 145 - From Now Onwards, Song Yu Will Be Your Granddaughter-in-law (2/2)

Grandmother Qi grabbed Song Yu’s hand when she got excited. She turned around and wanted to tell her from the beginning of her career, but her hand made contact with something sharp.

“Hmm?” Grandmother Qi lowered her head puzzledly and saw the big diamond on her ring finger.

“This…” Grandmother Qi’s eyes widened and stared at the rock for quite some time. She was not stunned by the size of the rock, but the position of the ring on her hand.

It was sitting on the ring finger of her left hand. This means marriage…

Grandmother Qi was too overwhelmed that the reaction of her shock was delayed since she was slightly doubtful.

Sometimes, happiness would happen at the most unexpected moments.

This was what Grandmother Qi felt at this moment.

She looked at Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi, based on her understanding of her grandson, she did not jump straight into conclusion.

Grandmother Qi just stared at Song Yu with a shocked expression and lifted her head to look at Qi Chengzhi.

Qi Chengzhi sat beside Song Yu calmly and extended his arm casually around her waist. His clean fingertips played with her waist subconsciously.

“From now onwards, Song Yu will be your granddaughter-in-law,” Qi Chengzhi said gently.

“You… you guys…” Grandmother Qi was lost for words.

“I brought her here today to break the news to the family. I planned to announce it when everyone arrived, but since you discovered it already, I’ll tell you first. I proposed to Song Yu in Paris. You can start preparing for our wedding,” Qi Chengzhi said.

Qi Zhongliang was not planning to hold a grand wedding. However, he did not tell Grandmother Qi that he only wanted a small banquet, hence she had no idea about it.

Frankly, Grandmother Qi did not care about those things. There was only a single thought in her mind, the wedding of her eldest grandson must be spectacular. She wanted everyone to know that her eldest grandson who had been single for the past thirty-five years finally got a wife!

Grandmother Qi’s face was glowing in red. “This is the one thing you did that make me the happiest after all these years!”

Grandmother Qi slapped her thigh and looked at Song Yu with a different gaze.

She was Qi Chengzhi’s girlfriend before, now she would be her granddaughter-in-law soon.

“We haven’t told Song Yu’s parents since we came to you first. My mother-in-law requested a proper wedding with all the formal procedures,” Qi Chengzhi said.

“Certainly!” Grandmother Qi was so excited that she missed the fact that Qi Chengzhi shamelessly addressed Song Yu’s mother as his mother-in-law before even marrying her. She said, “Song Yu is also treasured by her parents. We’re marrying their only daughter, of course, we won’t disappoint them. It’ll definitely be a grand ceremony.”

Song Yu did not mind. If it were up to her, she would prefer to get their marriage license and invite their close friends for a meal. The most important thing was for Qi Chengzhi and her to live together and be his wife.

Nevertheless, her mother, Grandmother Qi and Qi Chengzhi all wanted to have a grand wedding celebration. She did not want to let them down.

“Wenna, we’ll have to search for a reliable wedding planner. It has to be the best! We can book the bouquet at Dynasty. It’ll be fine if we just inform Xiao Yunqing. We also need to use Xiao Yan’s Red Roof, we shouldn’t waste such a good place, right?” Grandmother Qi planned enthusiastically.

“Mother, let’s take one step at a time,” Xia Wenna said. Even though she was no longer opposed to Song Yu marrying Qi Chengzhi, she was not very interested in the idea of a huge wedding since they had not discussed it with Qi Zhongliang. She was just entertaining Grandmother Qi’s idea.

Grandmother Qi was not aware of the lack of enthusiasm in Xia Wenna and stood up in excitement.

“They’re not back from work yet. I’ll bring you out for a walk and meet some people around this area,” Grandmother Qi said. It was obvious that she just wanted to show Song Yu off to the others.

Before Song Yu could say anything, Grandmother Qi yanked her out of Qi Chengzhi’s arms and headed towards the outside.

Song Yu got dragged along by Grandmother Qi to a park nearby.

The park was rather lively. There were some obstacle course on one side and some kids with helmets on were skating away. There were even some folks who were practicing Tai Chi and line dance.

At the very end of a corner, there was a bunch of old man crowding over, observing a chess game.

Grandmother Qi took Song Yu and went straight across the park to the other side. They were still a few steps away before she shouted laughingly, “Lao Zhou, Lao Yu!”

Two guys from the bunch of people observing the chess game turned their heads around and answered in surprise, “Eh, I heard Lao Qi that your grandson is coming home today. Why are you out here?”

“Heh heh, I’m just showing my granddaughter-in-law around and also to call my old man home to have dinner at the same time,” Grandmother Qi said casually while she walked over, holding hands with Song Yu.

After Lao Zhou heard what she said, he looked at Song Yu and commented, “This is your granddaughter-in-law? Wow, she’s a charming lady, which grandson of yours have such an honor?”

“It’s my useless eldest grandson. I thought that he would never have a wife in this lifetime. I never expected him to bring me a granddaughter-in-law after being single for thirty-five years!” Grandmother Qi raised Song Yu’s left hand purposely while she said that to let them have a closer look at the ring on her hand.

Song Yu was so embarrassed by Grandmother Qi’s blatant gloating. She lowered her head to hide her blushing face and greeted them shyly.

“Aiya, we’ll have to congratulate you then. When’s the wedding going to be?” Lao Yu was Grandfather Qi’s old chess mate for many years. He knew Grandmother Qi’s character so well that he immediately flattered her vanity.

As expected, Grandmother Qi was so high up on cloud nine that she did not bother about how her face wrinkled the way she was smiling. “Very soon. My grandson brought my granddaughter-in-law home today to discuss their marriage. I’ll send the invitation to you guys then!”

While they were happily chatting away, Grandfather Qi remained very focused on the game. He was so engrossed that he did not hear what Grandmother Qi said.

Grandmother Qi glanced at him and said without disturbing him, “We’ll head back first!”

Grandmother Qi ushered Song Yu to another group of friends that was practicing line dance, stopped in front of them and started chatting away with a huge smile on her face. After seeing that, Lao Zhou and Lao Yu looked at each other speechlessly. Wasn’t she here to call Lao Qi home for dinner?

Why did she leave without saying a word to Lao Qi?

The old woman had quite a reputation here. Those aunties stopped dancing when she brought Song Yu over.

“Aunt Qi, why are you here?”

“Ha ha ha ha, my granddaughter-in-law heard that I like line dancing, so she followed me to have a look,” Grandmother Qi said casually before holding up Song Yu’s left hand and tapped on the back of her hand while she “accidentally” exposed the diamond ring on her ring finger.

“Granddaughter-in-law? Congratulations! Which grandson is getting married?” One of the ladies asked in surprise.

“Ha ha ha, it’s my eldest grandson. He had been single until now. I’ve never heard of him having a girlfriend before, most of the people thought that he was gay. Not so long ago, he brought a girlfriend home suddenly and was serious about getting married,” Grandmother Qi smiled until her eyes closed. “My eldest grandson’s temperament is like that. Since he was young, he had always kept a low profile, but when he’s set on something, he would go all-in for it. The whole family was shocked by his announcement. However, I’m very fond of my granddaughter-in-law, remember to attend their upcoming wedding!”

“Of course!” The group of ladies nodded in agreement. Then, they proceeded to praise Song Yu with all kinds of compliments, making Grandmother Qi felt so gratified.

Just like that, Grandmother Qi brought Song Yu around. She did not literally boast to everyone in the neighborhood, but she purposely walked slowly until it was already time where people got back from work so that they could meet on the street.

She would actively greet those who did not notice her. Throughout the whole journey, Grandmother Qi repeated the same old story relentlessly. It was as if she wishes to use a loudspeaker and attach it on the roof of a car to spread the news like the ones they used during the election.

It was only when Grandmother Qi got tired of it after finishing an entire round that she brought Song Yu home.

When she entered the house, she could hear them chit-chatting. Qi Zhongliang and the others had returned.

Grandfather Qi was sitting on the main seat. He scoffed in disdain. “You left quite sometime before me, but I’m already home for more than half an hour after I finished the game. Why are you only back now?”

Grandmother Qi waved her hand without much thought. “I just had a small chat with a few neighbors that I met on the way back.”

At this moment, Qi Chenglin reached too.

Aunt Liu opened the door for him. He then entered, with the chilliness of the night still lingering on him. He took off his jacket and asked, “What’s going on? On my way home, the neighbors I met were all congratulating me saying that our family is having a new member.”

“Heh heh,” Grandfather Qi laughed in disdain. “Who else could it be? Your grandmother must have been showing off just now.”
