Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: I’m Rich (Fourth Update)

"Sigh." Tang Zhengde responded, passing over the red envelope he had already prepared and said: "Si Yu, from now on you are to be my future son-in-law, but please remember, if you don’t treat Xiao Yue well, I would rather lose face and not marry her off to you."

Tang Zhengde spoke earnestly and sternly, issuing a solemn warning.

Zhang Hualian also handed over a red envelope and said earnestly: "Zhengde is right; Si Yu, we are not the kind of people who are swayed by money. Even though the betrothal gift you’ve given is substantial, if you mistreat Xiao Yue, we will return all of it unchanged."

"Mom and Dad, please rest assured, as long as I live, I will protect Xiao Yue and absolutely will not let her be wronged," Mo Siyu said with firm conviction.

After exchanging glances, Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian spoke at length to Mo Siyu and then seriously placed Tang Yue into Mo Siyu’s hands.

Mo Siyu’s large hand tightly clasped Tang Yue’s small one; her soft little hand was so delicate. Held in his, it was just a small part of him. As he firmly held Tang Yue, his eyes brimmed with happiness. He had never before imagined that holding a woman’s hand could make his heart race, his face flush, and make him wish to give her everything he owned.

Had anyone else spoken this way before, Mo Siyu would have scoffed and mocked them without mercy.

But now, he had truly experienced that indescribable feeling of happiness.

"Mom," Mo Siyu said, taking Tang Yue by the hand and coming before Mo Xiaolin.

Tang Yue was a bit shy, but still clearly called out: "Mom."

"Good, good," Mo Xiaolin’s eyes reddened when she heard the word ’Mom’. Her son, whom she had raised since he was a child, finally had a wife. She handed over the prepared red envelope and said: "Xiao Yue, if Si Yu ever bullies you, just tell me, and I’ll discipline him for you."

"Mom, there’s no need for you to discipline him. If I ever bully Xiao Yue, I’ll discipline myself," Mo Siyu replied with pursed lips. He had always known his mom preferred daughters over sons, but this obvious favoritism left him somewhat speechless.

However, he liked it.

"Mom, Xiao Yue, from now on, you are the most, most, most important women in my life," Mo Siyu said as he held Mo Xiaolin’s hand. He remembered clearly all the hardships she had gone through to raise him from a young age.

"You are also the most important people in mom’s life," Mo Xiaolin replied with a contented smile, affectionately pulling on Tang Yue’s hand. That affectionate manner was even closer than between real mother and daughter.

Next, Tang Yue called out to her uncles and aunts and got to know everyone from the Mo Family.

"The changing name fee that Aunt Mo gave is too much, isn’t it?" Tang Yue looked at the 1,001 yuan and couldn’t help but feel that Mo Xiaolin had given too much.

1,001 yuan, symbolizing ’one in a thousand’. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The betrothal gift for marriage is ’one in ten thousand’; the Mo Family really seemed to like Tang Yue very much.

Not just Mo Xiaolin, but also the uncles had given a changing name fee of ninety-nine yuan and nine jiao, symbolizing ’forever and ever’.

Three days later, Mo Siyu led Tang Yue, who had received her admission notice from Jinghua University, to Sea City. They stayed in Sea City for a day before heading to Jing City. Before leaving, Tang Yue couldn’t see Zhang Hualian.

Zhang Hualian had been crying from the night before. Unlike the previous departure, this time Tang Yue was going to study. Jing City was far away, and she might only be able to return once every six months.

Tang Yue had rarely been away from her mother since she was a child. Thinking that she wouldn’t see her daughter for half a year, Zhang Hualian didn’t dare to send her off, afraid that she would cry at the station and make Xiao Yue feel sad too.

Tang Zhengde accompanied Tang Yue and Mo Siyu all the way to Jiang City’s Train Station, saying, "Xiao Yue, if there’s anything troubling you, remember to call home. Don’t keep it to yourself and suffer alone."

"Mhm, Dad, you should head back. No need to send me off."

Tang Yue’s eyes were red as she spoke. Originally, she was just going to take the bus from the county station, but Tang Zhengde kept giving incessant reminders, so he decided to just take Tang Yue to Jiang City’s Train Station.

All along the way, Tang Zhengde incessantly talked about how Tang Yue should take care of herself at Jinghua University and, more importantly, how to protect herself when being away from home.

Tang Yue choked back sobs multiple times. Just before leaving, Tang Zhengde saw her off at the platform until the train started moving.

Tang Yue watched as that tall figure grew smaller and smaller, shrinking until it finally disappeared from sight. The tears welling up in her eyes fell like large soybeans.
