Chapter 588: Picking Up the Bride

She just wanted to assess the situation based on her own experiences.

“Alright, cousin-in-law, don’t forget you’re the star today. Come on, let me help you change into your wedding gown,” Gu Huanhuan quickly diverted Shu Pan’s attention away from the man. Indeed, time was running out, and there was much to do today.

Around 11 a.m., Gu Shaoting and the groomsmen came to pick up the bride.

Gu Huanhuan and others blocked the entrance, refusing to let them pass.

“Huanhuan, let me in quickly,” Gu Shaoting said impatiently.

“Bro, today is not like any other day. If you don’t perform well today, you might not be able to bring the bride home,” Gu Huanhuan teased him. It felt good finally to have the upper hand. Usually, he kept her under his thumb.

Gu Shaoting felt a headache coming on after hearing Gu Huanhuan’s words. His cousin was mischievous, and he didn’t know what she might do next.

“Huanhuan, how much do you want in the red envelope? Or which design catches your eye? I’ll buy it for you,” Gu Shaoting persisted. Beneath the veneer of wealth, there must be a way, he thought. He knew Gu Huanhuan’s weak spot.

She often pestered him to buy things. Given such a good opportunity, it would be a shame not to exploit it.

Gu Huanhuan’s eyes lit up at the suggestion. This was indeed a good opportunity.

She blocked the entrance and reached out her hand. “No more words. Bring out all the red envelopes, and you can come in.”

Shu Pan, hearing this from inside the room, couldn’t help but chuckle. Indeed, red envelopes had their charm.

Last night, Huanhuan had been doing her homework, racking her brains to think of ways to tease the groom and groomsmen. She even wrote down ideas in a notebook, saying she would make her cousin make a cheesy public declaration of love.

Who would have thought that as soon as Gu Shaoting mentioned money, she would abandon her principles and switch sides?

Upon hearing Gu Huanhuan’s words, Gu Shaoting felt elated. He knew her so well, and he knew this tactic would work.

Soon after, thick stacks of red envelopes were pushed under the door. Gu Huanhuan held them in her hands, the thickness almost too much for her to grasp.

Moments later, Gu Shaoting’s deep voice came from outside the door, “All the red envelopes have been given. There’s not a single one left. Open the door now.”

Gu Huanhuan was worried that they might be filled with just a few cents or one yuan, so she opened one to check. To her satisfaction, they were all 100 yuan bills.

She was pleased. She admired people who were straightforward and tactful like this. She said, “You can come in now, Brother. And make a heartfelt declaration of love to cousin-in-law.”

“Panpan, I love you. I was a jerk before, but I’ll make you very happy in the future…” Gu Shaoting’s declaration was interrupted as the door swung open.

Gu Huanhuan looked at her cousin standing at the door and couldn’t help but think he really looked cool and handsome today.

Today, Gu Shaoting wore a royal blue suit jacket with a matching vest and white shirt underneath. He adorned his collarbone with a deep red bowtie, paired with trousers in the same color scheme and black leather shoes, revealing a hint of ankle. The handmade suit accentuated his handsomeness, with his facial features looking deeply chiseled and three-dimensional, as if he were the perfect creation of an artist.

Upon seeing him enter, Shu Pan also held her breath. Mr. Gu was already handsome enough on a regular day, but in the designer gown, he appeared even more debonair and noble. How could someone be this handsome?

And he was her husband. Suddenly, she felt proud.
