Chapter 322: 321 How Inhuman It Is_1

Looking at the small box of resplendent, dazzling, and nearly full-of-diamonds, Gu Chen felt completely shocked.

It is known that, in this era, technology to artificially synthesize diamonds has not been invented yet.

Every diamond without exception is naturally mined, and each one is of considerable value.

Even an average family might not be able to afford a one-carat wedding ring for marriage.

Yet, Ji Guangsheng could give away such a box with a single gesture, which was simply extravagant beyond measure.

Just this small box alone, if considering its true value,

Probably amounted to several times the entire net worth of Gu Chen at the moment.

"Dad, Tiantian is still young, this... this gift might be too expensive."

Ji Pianran also felt a bit uncomfortable looking at it.

It wasn’t about the money, but the value of these things was simply too high.

Just one of these diamonds, if taken out, could cause a frenzy among people.

If Tiantian were to take it out to play and someone with ill intentions saw it, what would happen if she became a target?

However, Ji Guangsheng didn’t care about this and just said with a laughing smile.

"This is the gift I am giving to my beloved granddaughter for our first meeting, the price isn’t important. What’s important is whether my sweet granddaughter is happy and likes it. You two adults shouldn’t worry about it."

After speaking, his gaze fell back on Tiantian in his arms, his face full of loving affection, "My dear granddaughter, do you like this gift? If you like it, Grandpa has plenty more!"

As soon as Tiantian heard what her grandpa said, she broke into a smile that was so big it hid her eyes.

"Like, like, Tiantian likes it very much!"

After saying this, she even stuck her tongue out at her grandma, her cheeky appearance utterly adorable.

Hearing Tiantian’s words, Ji Guangsheng himself was incredibly happy and even more so with a grand gesture.

"My dear granddaughter, whatever gift you want in the future, just tell Grandpa, and don’t be shy. If your mom and dad are reluctant to buy it, Grandpa will buy it all for you."

Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but exchange a look with Ji Pianran next to him, and then they shook their heads and smiled wryly.

They just felt if their father-in-law stayed here longer, their precious daughter would surely become spoiled.

After that, the group drove back to the Ji family estate in Haicheng in a grand procession.

Once Ji Guangsheng and the many attendants that came with him were settled,

They couldn’t help but express a desire to arrange a time to meet with Gu Chen’s parents.

The couple were not surprised by this and after some discussion, agreed to meet the next day.

The group then stayed at the Ji family estate until midday.

Tiantian had completely taken to her grandfather, who treated her so well, and no matter what, she didn’t want to leave.

And since Ji Guangsheng had been yearning for his daughter for many years, Gu Chen was naturally aware of it.

So he let Ji Pianran stay at the Ji family estate, to accompany her father and Tiantian for a longer time.

At the very least, it could allow the old man to experience the joy of family reunion.

Gu Chen himself drove back to the village alone, ready to inform his parents about the meeting of the two families the next day.

But when Gu Chen arrived back in the village, he saw his good-for-nothing elder brother, Gu Zhigang.

At that moment, he was crouched on the ground being scolded with a despondent look, while his mother, Shen Cuizhi, held a rattan stick, her face stern and angry.

Gu Chen felt puzzled, and only after asking did he find out that although with his help,

the other party and his sister-in-law Liu Lizhen had stopped talking about divorce, he had, encouraged by others, taken a liking to gambling.

In just a few days, he had already lost a substantial amount of money.

And it was precisely because Shen Cuizhi knew about this that she was so angry now.

Gu Chen felt quite helpless. Even if he could control everything under the sky, he couldn’t control what his elder brother wanted to do in his spare time.

Seeing his parents fuming with unvented anger, Gu Chen spoke a few words of comfort, then mentioned the actual reason for his visit today.

When Father Gu Hang and Mother Shen Cuizhi heard that they were going to meet the head of a great family clan tomorrow,

they immediately felt nervous, after all, they had spent their whole lives as farmers with their faces toward the loess and their backs to the sky.

Whereas the person they were meeting was a highly respected figure in Chuan City.

They were afraid that after meeting, they would do something to embarrass their son.

So Shen Cuizhi quickly called over old Gu to discuss, insisting they had to seriously discuss it beforehand.

Gu Hang was much more relaxed about this, amusingly observing his wife’s nervous demeanor, he said,

"Cuizhi, I know the prospective father-in-law is formidable. But our family is not bad off now, even though the eldest and second sons aren’t worth much, Chen’er is in Haicheng and is quite the figure there, whether big or small. Besides, it’s the father-in-law who wants to meet us, why should you be so nervous?"

Standing to the side, Gu Chen, hearing this, couldn’t help but show a bitter smile on his face.

Although his achievements now absolutely stood out in his parents’ eyes,

to his father-in-law, his wealth truly didn’t amount to much.

It seemed the Gu family elders were not seeing the full picture, but he didn’t find it appropriate to say more.

After all, if he really revealed the full extent of the Ji Family’s influence, wouldn’t that scare his parents right now?

Sometimes, knowing less is, indeed, a kind of happiness.

Of course, although the countryside may be poor, it does not lack propriety.

Even though Gu Chen and Ji Pianran were a case of "boarding the train first and then buying the tickets," the fact was now set in stone, and their marriage was loving.

The upcoming meeting between the parents from both sides was an important occasion, and naturally, they couldn’t arrive without gifts.

Even though they knew that Ji Pianran’s father wouldn’t lack for such things, they had to maintain the proper etiquette.

Thinking this, Shen Cuizhi promptly grabbed Gu Chen by the arm, preparing to have him drive them to the city together.

They planned to choose a suitable gift for meeting Ji Guangsheng, the father-in-law, tomorrow.

Gu Chen naturally had no objections, and the three of them headed straight for Haicheng’s most expensive mall.

After entering the mall, Gu Chen first picked out a set of more formal clothes for Shen Cuizhi and his father Gu Hang to change into.

He then let the two elders choose for themselves.

Shen Cuizhi browsed for a long time and eventually purchased a jade pendant featuring a dragon and phoenix, as well as a Golden Buddha.

It was only at the checkout that she realized these two items together cost over forty thousand yuan.

This made Shen Cuizhi, who was accustomed to frugality, feel an aching pain, since this was just for a gift to present upon meeting someone.

Although her initial intention was not to tarnish the Gu Family’s and her son’s face, but... this seemed a bit too expensive.

"Chen’er, do you think these are enough for a gift to give to the father-in-law?"

Gu Hang was also stunned by the price and couldn’t help but turn to his son with this question.
