Gu Rui naturally felt nothing about those words from Zhang Ran; after all, his parents' words earlier hadn't been that pleasant either.

Moreover, as the bride's side of the family, Zhang Ran truly needed to be a bit more assertive at a time like this.

However, thinking of how his mother had been rendered speechless by Zhang Ran, Gu Rui still felt like laughing.

But he dared not laugh; his mother was still glaring at him from the side.

Gu Rui was in a very good mood; he hadn't expected things to be resolved just like that. Of course, Gu Rui also understood that Zhang Ran's status had played a major role.

It could be said that it was precisely because of Zhang Ran's status, coupled with Zhang Ran's attitude, that things had such an outcome.

Zhang Haifang's face was dark at this moment, but she dared not vent her anger at Zhang Ran. Just a moment ago, in the heat of her rage, she could speak recklessly.

But now that she had calmed down, she really didn't dare to shout at Zhang Ran.

If their family were just an ordinary family, and one that didn't want to strive for upward mobility, then they probably wouldn't care about how they treated Zhang Ran.

But since they had some money, and it was something they had earned through half a lifetime of struggle, they were even more afraid to offend Zhang Ran.

The subsequent wedding proceeded very smoothly; after all, with Zhang Ran presiding here, there really weren't many blind fools who dared to come and cause trouble.

In the bridal chamber, the Zhang Ran family sat in the living room chatting with Gu Bo and the others. However, while Zhang Ran and his family were chatting happily, the couple Gu Bo and his wife were somewhat restless.

Now that things were settled, no one could object, and even if Gu Rui were to have a change of heart in the future, he would have to be careful.

As for Yu Qingyu's side, it was also very lively. There was no helping it; the four little ones were like little monkeys, and since this was likely their first time attending a wedding, and a relatively authentic Huaxia-style wedding at that, they were all very excited.

Of course, there were some small customs here that required the four little ones to help, such as having Zhang Xiaotao roll on the bed twice.

Yu Qingyu was also quite fond of the two little ones, Zhang Xiaotao and Susu, and rarely let go of their little hands.

"What kind of business does your family do?" Zhang Ran asked with a smile.

Gu Bo took a deep breath and said, "Real estate business."

"Real estate? Business should be quite good lately," Zhang Ran said.

"It's alright, but it's nearing saturation, and the capital pressure is also very high. The banks have also become stricter in their supervision of our industry," Gu Bo said, gradually calming his mood as he followed Zhang Ran's questions.

As for Zhang Haifang, Liu Lu was there. Liu Lu's affinity was still very strong, so she quickly made Zhang Haifang stop being nervous.

Zhang Ran was chatting with Gu Bo, but suddenly asked a question, "Do you have any irregularities in your business?"

Gu Bo subconsciously looked at Zhang Ran and found that Zhang Ran's expression was very calm, as if he had just asked the most ordinary question.

But Gu Bo dared not treat Zhang Ran's question as an ordinary one, so he weighed his words and said, "To say there are none at all would be a lie, but on the whole, we haven't done anything too excessive."

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "If possible, don't engage in any irregular operations in the future. As for the losses, I will introduce some projects to you; just keep everything according to the regulations."

Zhang Ran was actually taking precautions. With the connection of Yu Qingyu, Zhang Ran was truly worried that the Gu Family would use his name to do some irregular things.

If Yu Qingyu were to beg him for help in the end, would he help or not?

So Zhang Ran directly nipped such matters in the bud, making them cut off such things while also offering some compensation.

In situations where they could obtain the same or even greater benefits, most people were willing to do things properly and legally without having to compromise their conscience.

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Gu Bo was stunned at first, then overjoyed. But after the joy, he sighed, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Actually, if one could earn money openly and honestly, who would want to earn money by losing their conscience?"

"Please rest assured, I can't guarantee anything else, but from now on, I will absolutely not do anything that goes against my conscience."

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "That is for the best."

After saying this, Zhang Ran didn't dwell on this matter anymore. This time was just a reminder; if Gu Bo insisted on going his own way, then Zhang Ran wouldn't bother to care.

By evening, Zhang Ran had originally planned to leave in the afternoon, but Yu Qingyu wanted to invite them to a family dinner.

Zhang Ran thought about it and agreed, so they ate dinner there.

At the dinner table, Zhang Ran completely immersed himself in the position of the bride's family, starting to eat, drink, chat, and laugh with Gu Bo's side.

Gu Xinyi was taking the four little ones to eat on the side. She was naturally of an innocent and lively character, so she got along very well with the children and had no reluctance at all.

At the same time, Gu Xinyi was also very well-liked by the four little ones; the loudest laughter came from their side.

When they finished dinner and were about to leave, the four little ones were so reluctant to part, calling out "Sister Xinyi" with every breath.

As for the issue of seniority, no one mentioned it much; after all, they were just children, and according to the current situation, there wouldn't be too much interaction between the two families in the future.

"Brother-in-law, why not stay here for the night?" Yu Qingyu was still somewhat reluctant to part with the Zhang Family.

This was the first time she had felt care from a family.

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "No, you should go back and visit often when you have time. We still have some things to do."

Yu Qingyu also knew that someone like Zhang Ran must be very busy; being able to attend her wedding and come to support her was already enough to make her incomparably satisfied.

"Thank you, brother-in-law." When it was finally time to leave, Yu Qingyu said to Zhang Ran sincerely.

"No need to thank me, we are all one family. Remember, if you encounter any trouble outside, don't carry it alone; you still have us," Zhang Ran said with a smile, though his tone was very serious.

Yu Qingyu nodded and said, "I will."

She then watched the Zhang Ran family get into the car and leave. She also knew that it would be considered good if they could meet once or twice a year in the future.

The Zhang Family would certainly not live in the United States for a long time. If they were to meet in the future, it would at most be when she went back for the New Year.

Zhang Ran felt much more relaxed after arranging things for Yu Qingyu.

"Let's go straight to Taylor's place; it doesn't seem to be very far from here," Zhang Ran instructed.

Taylor had left in the afternoon, and when he left, he insisted that the Zhang Ran family must go to their home for a visit.

Zhang Ran had also agreed; after all, since they had come all this way, it really wouldn't be appropriate not to visit a friend's home.
