Chapter 517 The Tragic Thief (2)
"Stop flattering each other already," Ye Chenghong waved his hand, clearly unable to endure the Gu and An elders’ mutual compliments, and butted into the conversation, bringing the topic back on track, "the real issue at hand is setting a date for the engagement."
As soon as the topic of an engagement date came up, everyone from both families became interested, and they began to voice their opinions.
Gu Tingting was the most excited among them, but all the suggestions and viewpoints she offered were unanimously voted down by everyone, and in the end, under Gu Yelin’s threats, she smirked and closed her mouth.
"If you ask me," Gu Weijun suddenly remarked, "we should set the engagement for May 1st, right during the long holiday, which would make the banquet more lively!" Everyone looked at each other for a moment before slapping their thighs and shouting their approval.
They were so busy flipping through the calendar to pick the date that they had completely forgotten that May Day was only two months away. The date sounded perfect, with two months being plenty of time to prepare for the ceremony. Plus, by then the temperatures would have risen, allowing the girls to wear pretty dresses to their own engagement party—how wonderful that would be!
So, with the final say from the Gu and An elders and Ye Chenghong, they settled on May 1st for the engagement ceremony.
Following that discussion was the matter of the wedding procedures, including the betrothal gifts for the engagement.
As for the matter of betrothal gifts, the An Family did not really care. They were not short of money, and they were not marrying off An Yiqing to Gu Yelin for financial reasons. In their opinion, the Gu Family could just go through the motions.
