Promise You a Prosperous Life - C40
A week later, my mother’s funeral went on as scheduled, and it was on that day that I saw my great-aunt, whom I had not seen for a long time.
They all heard about the matter of father being wronged and also knew that our family’s supermarket had been unsealed. Thus, they started to find excuses for rejecting me in the past and started praising me in all kinds of ways.
There were even those who begged me to put their children to work at the supermarket, and I was too lazy to pay any attention to their enthusiasm for the job. I was immersed in the grief of losing my mother.
Yu Mo quickly dismissed them and socialized with them both inside and outside. Finally, he sent his mother away as his son-in-law, dressed in mourning, for which I was very grateful.
When I got home from the funeral home, I felt as if my bones had been pulled out of my body. I wanted to lie down on the bed to rest, but Yu Mo took me somewhere, then forcefully pulled me up and started the car again.
I don’t know where I’m going. What for? He was a little angry, “Stop the car. If you don’t stop the car, I’ll jump.”
As soon as I said this, Yu Mo reached out and pressed the lock button on the door. “Pah!” he said harshly.
“Gu Yan, aren’t you crying or sleeping these few days? If this goes on, your body will collapse. It will be hard for everyone if auntie leaves, but life must continue. If auntie is alive, how can she not worry when seeing you like this?”
I understand all of Yu Mo’s words, but I just can’t take the blow of losing my mother, I said through my tears.
“Mother has raised me for more than 20 years. Could it be that the front leg sent mother away while the back leg made me smile like a flower? If that were the case, would I still be worthy of being a daughter? ”
There was a distinct note of anger in my words, and Yu Mo frowned and stopped talking. He stepped on the gas pedal, crossed several blocks, and parked the car in the courtyard of the notary’s office.
After we got out of the car, Yu Mo Yi pulled me into a room and magically took out the two of us from the black plastic bag we were carrying. We had our account books, our ID cards, and his real estate certificate.
He said to the staff inside, “I would like to add this lady’s name to the back of the property certificate. I’ll have to trouble you with that.”
I was surprised when I heard this. So Yu Mo Yi was the one who brought me here to handle this matter, but his house was a high-class villa with a market value of at least a million. What was he doing this for?
The staff members were just as surprised as me. After they saw the property certificate, they couldn’t help but whisper to each other, “Ever since the implementation of the new marriage law, most of them came here to carry out the premarital property fair. It’s really rare for them to voluntarily give half of their property to the other party.”
I didn’t want to be taken advantage of. While I was reaching out to stop them, Yu Mo Yi grabbed me tightly. Following that, under the guidance of the staff, Yu Mo and I went through a few more procedures, and ten minutes later, a real estate certificate with two names was handed over to us.
As we got into the car, I couldn’t help but ask, “To be honest, I’m touched by what you’re doing, but I don’t understand. Why is that?”
Yu Mo stared at me with a profound look, “Gu Yan, I have seen all your excessive sadness in the past few days. Later on, I came to the conclusion that it was because of your continuous loss of family members and the changes in your family that you felt insecure in your heart, but I am not a man who can speak truthfully. After thinking about it, I can only use this method to increase your sense of security.
Yu Mo Yi’s expression was a little awkward, and he sincerely looked at me, waiting for my response.
A strong sense of happiness welled up in my chest, and once again the tears wet my eyes. I threw myself into his arms, burrowed my head deep into his chest, and sniffed.
“Thank you for doing all this for me, and thank you for enduring my bad temper. With you, I would have the most unbreakable sense of security, and you are a man worthy of entrusting your life to. I am glad that the heavens let me meet you.”
Yu Mo hugged me tightly and whispered into my ear, “I have to thank you. I didn’t expect that my image in your heart would be so big. Then Gu Yan, let’s go and get your certificate. That way, I’ll take better care of you.”
Surrounded by happiness, I nestled in a broad chest of ink, nodding my head.
The car started again, and Yu Mo and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate, which had been stranded for many days.
It was a Tuesday, and we were washed away by happiness. We said in unison that every Tuesday after that was our lucky day.
Now that I think about it, we did have a bit of an impulse to do something that day, which meant that a lot of things were bound to happen in the future.
As my mother had just passed away and it was not easy to have a wedding, Yu Mo and I did not go through with it, but Yu Mo said that his playmate Lu had just come back from America, and when he heard that we were going to treat him, he asked me if we should.
Considering that their relationship wasn’t ordinary, it wasn’t too much to have a simple meal. Thus, I nodded my head and set the time for the weekend.
Since I’m treating her to a meal, there won’t be a single extra person. On this day, I called my colleague from the supermarket, Lingling, over as well. After all, she helped me a lot when my mother was hospitalized.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. At six in the evening, the four of us gathered at the Grand Reunion Hotel.
Lu Gang was a straightforward big boy. He looked at me with his bright eyes and then handed me a big red packet.
“Big brother, sister-in-law, I wish you two a happy marriage. A hundred years of happy marriage, hurry up and give birth to a big, fat nephew for me.”
Yumo gave him a punch, and I smiled back and asked him when he would bring my sister-in-law with him.
Lu Gang immediately said, “There’s no rush. I just graduated from the Doctor’s Department, so it won’t be too late to consider it after my career stabilizes.”
I couldn’t help but to look at Lu Gang in a new light.
Beside me, Lingling tugged on my arm and said in a low voice, “So it’s because you’re treating me to a wedding today. Why didn’t you say so earlier? I didn’t even prepare a red packet.”
I turned my head and spoke seriously to Lingling.
When my mom was in the hospital, if you didn’t agree to work with me at different times, I wouldn’t have so much time to take care of my mom. If I didn’t take care of my mom at that time, I would regret it so I won’t mention the red packet anymore.
As I said this, I couldn’t help but feel my nose go sour. Ling Ling was also a little moved. Yu Mo quickly invited everyone to have a meal.
Because Lu Gang and Ling Ling were naturally familiar with each other, the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious. Yu Mo and I were also very happy from the bottom of our hearts.
During dinner, maybe because I drank too much water, I needed to go to the bathroom, so I spoke to Yu Mo and hurried over.
When I came out, I was washing my hands on the sink when Mu Hai’s fawning voice sounded from behind me.
