Chapter 774 - 775: Picking the Date
Chapter 774 - 775: Picking the Date
Aunt Chen quickly agreed and soon entered the kitchen again.
Grandma Shi, among her peers, possessed a youthfulness that was rare, further accentuated by her youthful attire. Standing at the door in her tracksuit, she appeared exceptionally vibrant.
Her already fair and clean face, with makeup covering many wrinkles, looked energized and visually appeared at least thirty years younger.
Shi Mei, who had already put on her black mask during the trip, had once again transformed into Senior Sister.
At this moment, seeing Grandma’s outfit, Shi Mei was amazed. After smoothly offering a compliment, she reached out her hand warmly and said with a polite smile, "Grandma."
Grandma Shi was so touched by the address that she quickly said, "Oh, come sit down. Oh my, why bring so many things? You’re not an outsider; we’re all family here. Why all the formality?"
"It’s nothing major, just some tea I bought casually. I also brought some pastries that tasted quite good last time at the tea house in Imperial City, and some small gifts from the bar’s opening," Shi Mei, presenting the memorabilia with Giant Bar written on it, said, "Ah Ling and I designed this together."
"Oh my," Grandma Shi was overjoyed. They even designed it together, how sweet the couple is!
Grandma Shi smiled warmly, her chic makeup contributing to her lively appearance.
"I didn’t know our Ling Yan had such talents. Indeed, a man in love is truly capable of anything."
Ling Yan coughed lightly, "Grandma, you guys go ahead and talk, can you please not drag me into this?"
"What do you mean dragging you into this? Isn’t what Grandma said the truth?" Grandma Shi huffed softly, then warmly took Shi Mei’s hand and said, "Senior Sister, you guys came this time, is it to finalize things?"
What Grandma said by finalizing things naturally meant setting the wedding.
Ling Yan, when he spoke with her, also had this idea and expression.
Shi Mei did not express agreement or disagreement.
Thus, when Grandma Shi asked this question, Ling Yan also subconsciously looked towards her, eagerly anticipating her answer.
Under the expectant gazes of both Grandma Shi and Ling Yan, Shi Mei nodded, "Yes, but I don’t really understand all these customs. I don’t have any elder family members, so..."
"No problem!" Grandma Shi was thrilled, "Leave it all to Grandma! Oh my, this grandson of mine hasn’t been very successful; he’s nearly thirty and hasn’t even given me the chance to prepare a wedding. Now I finally have the chance, you can rest assured, everything, whether it’s the betrothal gifts or the dowry, I will take care of it all!"
Aunt Chen, overhearing from inside, felt this was not appropriate.
The betrothal gifts were one thing, since the bride’s family did not have any elders, it was something they could discuss with the bride.
But how could the dowry also be handled by the groom’s side?
It simply wasn’t right.
Fortunately, Senior Sister then said, "That won’t do, I have my own career, and I indeed have a dowry. However, I still lack elder relatives to take care of things, so I’ll need a lot of your help..."
Before Shi Mei could finish, Grandma Shi stood up, "I’ll go check the Old Almanac!"
Shi Mei: "..."
Was she so worried that Shi Mei might leave Ling Yan that she was in such a hurry?
Once Grandma Shi started this, it was unstoppable.
