Chapter 2621 - 425: Don’t Compromise Yourself
"Stop crying, your makeup will be ruined."
Mo Xiuchen teased, and Momo broke into a smile through her tears.
She stepped forward to embrace Mo Xiuchen.
Mo Xiuchen patted her back and complained, "Don’t wipe your tears and snot on me; your mom will scold me later."
"..."
Momo withdrew from Mo Xiuchen’s arms.
Immediately, Ye Zhan took her hand.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "It’s fine, wipe them on me, I don’t mind."
As Ye Zhan spoke, he felt a chilly gaze land on him.
He looked up and saw his father-in-law watching him.
Ye Zhan’s heart raced, but he managed a gentle smile.
Mo Xiuchen shifted his gaze away and turned to wipe Wen Ran’s tears, "Ranran, from now on, you’ll only have me."
Wen Ran, "..."
Are you here to comfort me or hurt me?
Over there, Gu Zhitong had already bid farewell to Gu Yan, Gu Kai, and Bai Yiyi.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back her tears.
Gu Kai gave her a gentle hug, frowning, "I hope this is the last time I see you cry."
"Dad."
Gu Zhitong complained. She was getting married, and now she wasn’t even allowed to cry?
Bai Yiyi gave Gu Kai a playful glare, then stepped forward to embrace Tongtong, gently saying, "Whenever you want to cry in the future, come home to cry. Don’t scare Jinchen."
Gu Zhitong, "..."
Tang Jinchen smiled warmly, waiting for Bai Yiyi to release Tongtong.
Only then did he hold her hand and gently said, "Tongtong, if I ever make you angry, don’t suffer alone. Just hit me or scold me."
After the two newlyweds bade farewell to all the elders in the living room and received everyone’s blessings.
Mo Ziye handed Zirui over to Qingqing.
According to tradition, Tongtong and Momo were to be carried out of the house by Zinan and Ziye, and onto the car.
Earlier, upstairs, both had received red envelopes.
Gu Zinan saw Tang Jinchen finally release Tongtong’s hand and, with a stern face, walked forward, giving Tang Jinchen a meaningful look.
Tang Jinchen assumed Gu Zinan was still upset about something he had said outside earlier.
Then, he saw Gu Zinan expressionlessly pull out two bank cards and thrust them into Gu Zhitong’s hand.
Gu Zhitong looked puzzled, "Zinan, what’s this?"
"Bride price."
Gu Zinan’s voice was muffled.
Gu Zhitong blinked, then looked down at the bank cards in her hand, "Didn’t you already give me some before?"
Surely he hadn’t given all the family assets as her dowry.
Gu Zinan shot her a glance, his tone unfaltering, but considering Tang Jinchen’s dignity.
He murmured in a particularly soft voice, "Tang Jinchen is so poor. When you refused our parents’ dowry, you should keep some money on hand. These cards together hold over twenty million, just in case you need it."
"No."
Gu Zhitong was touched by her brother’s kindness.
But who told him Tang Jinchen was so poor that he couldn’t support her and needed to give his entire estate?
Did this brother get silly after surgery?
Thinking this,
Gu Zhitong raised her hand and reached for Gu Zinan’s forehead.
Gu Zinan’s face darkened, and he dodged her hand, "My phone is on 24/7. If he dares bully you, tell me, and if I can’t beat him up, there’s always the surgical knife."
"Take these bank cards back; I have money and don’t need yours."
"Why is this woman so stubborn? If you won’t take Mom and Dad’s, why can’t you take mine?"
Gu Zhitong was helpless.
She had to accept the bank cards.
Recalling what Tang Jinchen said, she had apparently offended him.
She revealed a gentle smile and coaxed him like when they were kids, "Fine, I’ll accept it. Don’t sulk anymore. Today’s my big day; give your sister a smile."
Gu Zinan glared at her.
Gu Zhitong kept smiling.
Growing up together, didn’t she know Zinan’s personality inside out?
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Zinan to relent.
He gave Gu Zhitong a stiff smile, "I really don’t want to be bothered by you. Live your life well with him. Don’t come back just for a meal."
Gu Zhitong nodded with a smile, "Alright, I won’t come back just for a meal. Save some for your future girlfriend."
Gu Zinan offered her a noncommittal expression.
Squatting in front of her, "Hop on."
Gu Zhitong clambered onto his back unceremoniously, "Brother, you haven’t carried me for ages, have you?"
"Yeah, I haven’t carried you for years."
Gu Zinan was amused by her remark.
Recalling childhood memories, the sadness and reluctance in his heart seemed to dissipate a bit, reminding himself that his sister had found happiness.
After all, she wasn’t marrying far away.
He would still see her daily at the hospital.
The sorrow in his heart faded a bit more.
Finally, he chuckled happily, "Carrying you once more. You’re so heavy, from now on let Tang Jinchen carry you."
"That’s your brother-in-law."
Gu Zhitong corrected him humorously.
Gu Zinan scoffed, "Let’s see how much the name change fee is."
"Even a penny counts."
Gu Zhitong laughed and hugged his neck.
Gu Zinan said no more, as if he was conceding to Gu Zhitong’s unreasonable demand, standing up with her on his back.
Everyone watched as Gu Zinan carried Tongtong out of the living room.
Then they urged the stationary Mo Ziye, "Ziye, carry Momo to the car."
Mo Ziye, who stood much taller than Momo, remained still.
Next to him, Ye Zhan also didn’t move.
Momo’s eyes brimmed with tears, but her face beamed brightly.
"Ziye, are you reluctant to see me go?"
She asked.
Mo Ziye said nothing.
His handsome brow slightly furrowed.
Momo laughed and extended her arms to hug him.
Mo Ziye’s body stiffened slightly, then he hugged her back, his voice low and somber, "Ye Zhan promised me he’d treat you well for life. Be as capricious as you want, don’t feel the need to hold back just because you’re married."
"You brat, I’m your sister."
Momo wanted to cry, but she forced herself to smile.
Mo Ziye was unmoved, "You were only born a few minutes before me, yet your IQ is so low; you’re so dumb you’d still count money for someone that was double-crossing you. If you were my younger sister, you think I’d have let him upstairs today that easily?"
Being the younger brother and being the older brother aren’t the same.
Mo Ziye thought so.
Momo pressed her lips together, suppressing the wave of emotions surging inside her.
She released him and stepped back.
Her eyes glistening as she looked at Mo Ziye, "Even if I was born a minute earlier, I’m still your sister and you’re always the brother."
She sniffed, continuing, "We’re adults now, and soon you’ll have your own wife and kids, so quit competing with Dad for Mom’s attention. They love traveling, let them keep doing it."
"I have no problem with that."
Mo Ziye raised an eyebrow.
Momo asked again, "If they’re not around when I come back, you’re not going to refuse to cook for me, are you?"
Mo Ziye was proud, "You won’t come back without Ye Zhan, and let him cook."
"Squat down, carry me to the car."
Momo gave him a playful glare, placing one hand on Mo Ziye’s shoulder and pushing him down.
