Chapter 604 - 587: Informing the Engagement Date
Grandma Nie discussed the engagement with Lu Jiaxin, which made her realize that she should call home to inform them about the engagement.
At six o’clock, Lu Jiaxin called Lu Jiaguang, assuming he should be off work by now. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiaguang was on a business trip, and it was Wang Xiaojie who answered the phone.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Sister-in-law, Ah Zhan and I have chosen the engagement date, September 18th. I wonder if you and my brother can come?"
Although she knew the chances of Lu Jiaguang coming were zero, she still had to extend the invitation. Whether he could make it was her elder cousin’s issue.
Wang Xiaojie felt a sudden panic: "Jiaxin, the engagement date should be chosen by the groom’s family, who pick several auspicious dates and then ask the bride’s elders to select one."
She was sure that Lu Hongjun didn’t know about this. If he did, he would have told her husband immediately and then let the Nie family come to accompany the guests. After all, the Nie family is a prestigious family, and it’s not appropriate for the Huang family to attend.
Lu Jiaxin expressed her indifference to these old customs: "The engagement date was calculated by a master that Ah Zhan and I consulted. It’s a good day."
Wang Xiaojie was silent for a moment, then said, "Jiaxin, this isn’t right. If the Nie family is sincere, they should come to the Forty-nine City to propose to your father. Agreeing to the engagement without any gesture will make the Nie family look down on you."
