The Old Age Love Chapter 5

After work that day, Emily drove her little mini car at a snail's pace in the crowded traffic, heading towards the wedding house where she would move to - Longting No. 1.

Longting No. 1 is located in the prime riverside area of Haicheng City, with excellent scenery. The average price per square meter is higher than Emily's annual salary. After entering the community, looking at the 30 million Pagani in front and the Bugatti not far behind, Emily held the steering wheel tremblingly, fearing that an accident would happen accidentally.

There are only two apartment types in Longting No. 1, 368 square meters and 468 square meters, all of which are large flats. From the moment Emily entered the elevator, the villain in her heart has been yelling!

The property fee is almost the same as her annual salary!

The Chinese kitchen is bigger than the living room of her rental house!

You can exercise by just walking around your home a few times every day!

The advantage of her small mini being easy to park is not apparent here at all!

Woo woo woo, poverty limits her imagination!

Olivia showed Emily around the house. "Akan didn't have time to come back and live here. It's been unused for too long, so I had it cleaned thoroughly several times. I checked the water, electricity, gas, and various pipes and switches and found no problems. I've also told the property management, so you can go and record a message later. If you find anything you're not satisfied with, add what needs to be added, and replace what needs to be replaced."

The golden sunset shone on Emily's young and energetic face, her eyes were bright, "Everything is fine. I am so lucky to have a housekeeper like you at home."

Olivia looked at her with undisguised affection in her eyes, "You have a good temper. If A Kan bullies you, tell me and I will beat him up."

Emily smiled, with a few strands of hair falling naturally on her soft cheeks. "It's normal to have conflicts. Even teeth and tongues can quarrel sometimes, let alone two people living together. Solve problems if there are any. Talk calmly and make concessions to each other, and generally everything will be fine."

Olivia really likes Emily.

A Kan will definitely like her too.

Two people need to complement each other. If both of them have quick tempers, the family will be in chaos every day. Emily has high emotional intelligence and is good at talking. Unlike many girls she knows who are spoiled too much by their families, they only know how to argue with each other when encountering problems.

"Akan is very responsible. We didn't think much of him when he didn't go to such a good university. He never told us about training and competitions, but he won the world championship the following year. Later I learned that he couldn't sleep for more than five hours a day. This kid is very ambitious and stubborn. He must do his best in everything he decides to do."

At the end of the conversation, Emily could hear a hint of pride.

The doorbell rang again.

Olivia: "The jeweler I often visit and his assistant are here. Pick out a few things you like."

Emily declined, saying, "You have already given me several pieces of valuable jewelry."

Olivia smiled generously and said, "Those are nothing. Today we are buying gifts. You can tell the jeweler what you like. You must buy what you like and don't worry about the price."

Mr. Zhu, the jeweler, was wearing a well-tailored suit and his gold-rimmed glasses were studded with diamonds. He already knew Emily's identity, and when he entered the room, he praised Emily from head to toe, and at the same time flattered Olivia in a roundabout way.
 
For nearly ten minutes, Emily's ears were filled with all kinds of four-character idioms. When she was wondering if he had memorized the entire idiom dictionary, Mr. Zhu finally stopped and asked his assistant to lay out the precious and carefully selected goodies they brought.

There is no girl who doesn't like sparkling jewelry. Emily walked over with great interest and covered her chest with her hands.

There are more shocks than surprises.

The five kings of the jewelry world - ruby, sapphire, emerald, diamond, cat's eye and the king and queen - jadeite and pearl, appeared in front of Emily with dazzling brilliance.

Every loose stone here is a treasure with an estimated value of more than seven figures.

For Emily, even "touching" it is out of reach.

Mr. Zhu gave a very thorough explanation of every aspect, from the gem's origin, weight, color grade, to the styles that can be set.

Olivia nodded repeatedly, and then asked in a gentle voice: "Emily, are you satisfied?"

"Of course, although I don't understand, your vision is certainly not wrong."

Olivia smiled and said, "I know you young people think these big and heavy things are not suitable for daily use. You can also see that the level of inlay is getting higher and higher now, and it is completely possible to create young and fashionable styles. You should dress up well at your blooming age, otherwise when you are my age, you will be old and ugly and nothing will look good on you."

"You are not old at all. People who don't know you would think you are in your early forties. And judging from your mental state, you are no more than eighteen years old."

Olivia was amused and laughed, "I wish my two could talk half as comfortably as you do."

Emily modestly said: "I studied dubbing, and my daily job is to speak."

"That's different."

Olivia finally ordered seven or eight sets of jewelry, not including pure gold jewelry and individual items that did not form a set.

Emily knew that her future mother-in-law would be extraordinary, and even though she had a certain psychological expectation, she could still exceed her imagination.

She has heard married colleagues complain that the rising divorce rate has led many in-laws to keep something on their side.

I won't buy expensive gifts for my new daughter-in-law.

I won't buy a gift for the new daughter-in-law that's better than the gift I buy for the mother-in-law

Emily was horrified and used her remaining sanity to stop Olivia, saying that it was too much to wear and that making money was hard.

Olivia said, it doesn't matter, money is earned to be spent, how can the only daughter-in-law of the Cheng family not have a few sets of decent jewelry. Don't worry about buying too much, use these pieces for dark clothes, and those pieces for light clothes, buy, buy them all! Wear these pieces in autumn and winter, and those pieces in spring and summer, buy, buy them all!

Before leaving, she also gave Emily a very beautiful and classical red lacquered wooden jewelry box, which was full of the jewelry that Olivia had worn when she was young.

"Here, this is the betrothal gift, which all girls need when they get married."

Emily couldn't refuse. The betrothal gift was a thank you from her husband's family for raising her. Since her situation was special, she had no choice but to accept it.

Does she still need to prepare a dowry?

"You don't need to prepare a dowry, I will pay for it. You are Ajun's only daughter, and you called me godmother when you were little. Now that she is not around, I have to make the decision for you out of both emotion and reason."

Emily felt very embarrassed. She felt guilty for trying to fleece a fat sheep. Olivia insisted: "I don't know how my son-in-law got the good fortune to marry you in his previous life. I looked at a few auspicious days. You need to take a leave on the day of getting the marriage certificate. Which day do you think is suitable?"

"good."

The next morning, the first thing Emily did when she opened her eyes was to look at the bedside table.

The red lacquered wooden jewelry box, full of history, was given a beautiful glow by the thin morning sun.

Not a dream.

Her mother taught her since she was young that girls must learn something and master a skill to make a living, because there is no such thing as bread falling from the sky in this world.

Emily likes money, and she likes the sense of security that money brings even more.

The money can help my mother with her medical treatment, allow her to complete her studies, and keep her from going hungry.

When she was young and ignorant, she read a lot of online novels. After reading them, she would put them down. Novels cannot reflect reality. In reality, there may be handsome, rich and devoted men who love you wholeheartedly, but she has never met one in her 23 years of life.

Emily never imagined in her daydreams that she would run into such a good in-law family.

The dowry that Olivia gave to Emily was not money, but a real building. To be precise, it was a commercial office building in the center of Yangcheng, her hometown. The annual rent alone was eight figures.

Emily, who got rich overnight after getting married, was shocked, but she thought calmly: The Cheng family is rich, extremely rich. Why did the Cheng family give her so much money?

So that she can live a good life with Caleb.

Caleb has no girlfriend, doesn't gamble, doesn't take drugs, can still make money and looks good, so it's very likely...very likely...that he's in poor health.

In addition to occupational diseases, there may be other hidden diseases.

This building should be compensation.

Not a big deal.

She accepted.

For the sake of money.

*

The Civil Affairs Bureau is a national administrative unit and is closed on normal holidays and weekends. Emily asked for leave from her team leader one day in advance.

On the day of getting the marriage certificate, she got up early, showered, and put on some light makeup. When she went downstairs, Olivia called.

Emily got in the car, and the man in the front passenger seat turned around and took the initiative to greet her, "Good morning, sister-in-law, congratulations."

Caleb is undergoing rehabilitation treatment in the capital and cannot be present, so Emily is going to register with the "fake groom" who is Cheng's distant cousin today.

This distant cousin is already married. His height and facial features are somewhat similar to Caleb. This is the first time he has been called over to get married, and he feels even more embarrassed than Emily.

The pearl white suit Emily was wearing today was one of the many famous brands Olivia had given her. Seeing Olivia looking at her with a smile, she asked, "Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course, clothes make the man, but my daughter-in-law cannot be more beautiful, otherwise there will be no clothes that match her."
 
Emily said shamelessly: "I think so too."

Olivia was a person who believed everything she heard. The girl he had liked for so many years finally became a family. He smiled and got crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. "Emily, can you call me mom?"

Emily was so embarrassed that she almost exploded, but she still looked up and sincerely called out, "Mom."

"Hey!" Olivia was satisfied and asked, "What date is the appointment?"

"number 6."

"This number is auspicious." Olivia added: "When I got married, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. Others get sad and reluctant to leave their parents' home when they get married, but I'm different. I look forward to marrying the person I love every day. Your situation is a bit special, but your personality complements Akan's. If you work hard, you will definitely be happy."

Emily nodded: "I will."

When we got to the window, the staff looked at the photo and asked my cousin in confusion: "You look quite different in person than in the photo."

My cousin said what he had prepared long ago, "Everyone knows that I am single, so they ask me to treat them to midnight snacks every day. I drank too much yesterday, and my eyes are swollen from sleeping."

The staff nodded and asked them to recite the oath and sign it.

With two "pops", a bright red stamp was stamped on the inner page of the marriage certificate, and all the procedures were completed.

From then on, Emily's marital status was------married.

When Emily rushed back to work, several acquaintances in the elevator joked: "Emily looks so beautiful today, do you have a boyfriend?"

She smiled and nodded.

Not a boyfriend, but a husband.

During the break, Zhou, who is married with a child, ate the homemade biscuits made by Emily. "Emily, how did you make these biscuits so soft? Every time I bake them, they are hard and my husband and son don't like them."

Emily smiled faintly and said, "I'll send you the ingredient list later. If you follow it, you won't fail at all."

"That's great." Sister Zhou took a sip of water and gossiped quietly, "You know Hannah from the news team, right? Oh, besides being on the show, her fingers are almost raised to the sky."

"Those who knew she was wearing a two-carat diamond ring thought she had something wrong with her finger."

"She and Ethan have been getting along like a family recently, and I heard they are getting engaged."

Emily was not clear about the relationship between Ethan and Hannah, she only knew that they were really married.

When I got home in the evening, I took a photo of the marriage certificate and sent it to Caleb.

Emily: [Photo] [Photo]

[Emily: Please take care of me in the future.jpg]

A ripple appeared in Caleb's originally numb mood.

From then on he was her husband and she was his wife.

They are legal husband and wife and partners.

only.

The photo doesn't look natural after being synthesized. He didn't smile, but his face didn't look grim, but he looked very serious.

Emily smiled sweetly.

Why didn't he smile at that time?

After a while, Caleb replied.

[Target: OK]

Emily pouted her lips in a very cocky tone.
