Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It wasn’t an easy feat to plan for a wedding. Everyone was busy.

Even though Uncle and Aunt were there, Pan Xiangxiang and Pan Ji didn’t come along as they still had to work. They would only come one day before the wedding.

They reached the airport at 11 AM.

The people picking them up were Lu Zhaoying and Mother Lu. Lu Zhaoying waved and called out to them when he saw them. “Uncle, aunt!”

“Xiao Lu, you didn’t have to pick us up. You’re so busy, after all.” They walked towards them.

“How could I not pick you up for your first trip to the Capital?” Lu Zhaoying said as he took over the luggage. He then continued smilingly, “Mingyue has something on at work today and couldn’t make it.”

As they spoke, they walked towards the car park.

It wasn’t the same car as last time. It was a black sedan this time.

Even though they didn’t know much about cars, they felt that it looked really expensive.

“Let’s head over to my place first.” Lu Zhaoying opened the doors and ushered them in.

As they were about to get married, they were already planning to visit the Lu family the next day. They needed to firm up on some of the details of the wedding and wanted to see how Pan Mingyue’s future in-laws were like.

This was because Lu Zhaoying didn’t look like a commoner to them.

Lu Zhaoying drove slowly on the road. There was a bit of traffic jam along the way, so they only reached a special road at noon.

It wasn’t a place that they had seen before. There were villas along the way.

When they saw Lu Zhaoying for the first time, they knew that he was rich and powerful. Hence, they weren’t surprised.

However, after a few minutes of driving, they saw a sentry at the entrance.

Aunt was shocked and looked at Uncle.

Even though he was shocked, he was calmer. He patted her hands and asked her to relax.

Even though his hands were shaking uncontrollably as well.

When they had finally arrived at the Lu family, they could see that Mother Lu was waiting for them at the entrance with the butler.

Her eyes lit up when she saw that Lu Zhaoying was arriving.

The butler also opened the car door.

“Welcome to my home, Mingyue’s uncle and aunt,” Mother Lu said. She was wearing a dark dress today, with some light makeup. She looked elegant and had an aura around her. She smiled as she spoke. “I’ve prepared lunch for you two already.”

They were initially worried whether Father and Mother Lu were hard to get along with.

However, as they saw how welcoming Mother Lu was, they were relieved.

As they followed Mother Lu in, they started to get nervous after seeing how luxurious the house was.

“Make yourselves at home.” Mother Lu was a sociable person, so she quickly managed to calm them down.

Aunt was relieved after seeing how she treated them. Mother Lu must have been happy and didn’t look down on them. She definitely wasn’t a horrible mother-in-law.

She brought over some of the specialties for the Lu family, along with some tonic. All these were under Pan Ji’s instruction.

“I’ve confirmed everything with Mother Lu with regards to the wedding. The wedding planners will take care of everything,” Mother Lu said to Aunt. “We don’t need to worry about anything.”

Initially, Mother Lu was worried about it as well. However, Lu Zhaoying said that Cheng Jin and the rest would take care of it.

The Lu family wouldn’t have to do anything but handle the guests.

However, Mother Lu didn’t dare to tell them the truth as it might be perceived as being too nonchalant about the wedding.

After they were done with the meal, Mother Lu and Lu Zhaoying wanted them to stay for the night. However, they were rejected.

Lu Zhaoying had to send them to where Pan Mingyue and Song Luting were staying.

As the wedding was approaching, Lu Zhaoying had other matters to attend to. He stayed with them for a while before rushing off.

After he left, Aunt could finally relax.

They exchanged glances and said, “I thought with the Jin family’s help, the dowry would be acceptable...”

But when they saw the Lu family home...

The dowry was still not good enough.

“Xiao Lu’s dad... Is he a military officer?” Aunt asked after thinking of the sentries she saw in the afternoon.

Uncle looked up, still shocked as he sat on the sofa. He asked, “How did Mingyue meet Xiao Lu, anyway?”

The two of them then worried about the dowry.

At 5 PM, Pan Mingyue finally returned.

“Uncle, Aunt.” Pan Mingyue greeted as she changed her shoes. “Let’s head out for a meeting today. I’ll bring you guys to Beijing University later.”

“No need for that, you can go settle your matters,” Uncle said as he got up. “Your aunt took a look at the fridge just now. She will be cooking later.”

Even though they were worried about her dowry, they didn’t show it.

Aunt was busy preparing a meal in the kitchen.

Pan Mingyue thought for a while and didn’t stop her aunt. She went into the kitchen to help and said, “We can go after eating, then. Beijing University is just next to us. You guys don’t have to do anything, I’ll bring you guys on a tour for the next few days.”

She thought to ask Lin Siran for help if she couldn’t find the time.

As she spoke, the doorbell rang.

Uncle opened the door.

There was a middle-aged man outside. Uncle was shocked and asked, “Hi, mister. Who are you looking for?”

“Miss Pan,” the person answered politely.

Pan Mingyue got out of the kitchen.

She dried her hands as she walked out and said, “Butler Zhou, why are you here?”

“I’m here with gifts under Principal Zhou’s instruction.” He was Principal Zhou’s butler. He then asked the people to bring in a huge container.

He left after delivering the goods.

“Who’s that, is he here to contribute to your dowry?” Aunt was shocked by the huge container as she brought out the dishes.

Pan Mingyue thought for a while before answering, “He’s a principal from my school. He treated me really well.”

“Your principal is such a nice guy,” Uncle said, touched.

As he spoke, he saw Pan Mingyue open the container.

It was filled with pieces of jewelry.

Uncle was speechless.

When they finished the meal, someone knocked on the door again.

“I just came back from my bro’s place.” It was Slag Dragon. He greeted Uncle smilingly before throwing a key towards Pan Mingyue. “The car is in the garage. I’m heading to the Qin family. See you in a couple of days.”

He didn’t give the chance for Pan Mingyue to speak.

The two of them saw the key in her hands and asked, “What’s this?”

“This should be a car from my teacher?” Pan Mingyue answered unconfidently.

Aunt was speechless.

Before they could react, someone was at the door again.

“Mingyue.” It was Qin Xiuchen’s manager. He smiled after seeing her and said, “This is from Qin Xiuchen and his wife.”

He then waved.

Five people carried a container into the living room.

“I won’t trouble you guys anymore.” The manager then left.

“Mingyue, this...” The two of them were shocked by the gifts.

Pan Mingyue didn’t know what was going on as well.

She then tried to explain. But just then...

Someone was at the door again.

She opened the door this time.

It was Lou Yue and Qing Lin.

“Miss Pan, the boss wanted to give you something,” Qing Lin said as he handed her a box.

“I still have other things to attend to.” Lou Yue didn’t like to speak much, he was just slightly more talkative than Qin Ran. He nodded and left with Qing Lin.

Quick and simple.

After Lou Yue left, the two of them looked at the box that Pan Mingyue was holding. Exchanging glances, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, someone normal.
