1087 Engagement

Although Tang Haifeng didn't think that Gu Ning was inferior to Leng Shaoting, it was about his granddaughter's future happiness, so he was still slightly worried.

Tang Haifeng picked up the call a few seconds later. He was worried, but didn't show it in his voice at all.

"Hi, Master Leng, what a surprise!" Tang Haifeng said.

"Hi, Tang, what didn't you tell me earlier that your granddaughter is my grandson's girlfriend?" Master Leng complained. "Do you know how terrible it felt when I was worried that my grandson would stay single forever? Do you think my grandson isn't qualified to marry your granddaughter?"

Master Leng sounded a little annoyed, but he actually wasn't.

Tang Haifeng understood it very well, so he wasn't displeased at all. Instead, he was relieved and excited.

He didn't believe that Leng Shaoting would stay single forever, because countless women wanted to marry him.

Leng Weihua only said that because he thought that Gu Ning was very important.

"Master Leng, it isn't my fault. I always thought that you were aware of it!" Tang Haifeng said.

Hearing that, Master Leng complained again, "Well, Shaoting totally forgot me when he had a girlfriend!"

"Alright, since he has found himself a great girl, I can forgive him. To be honest with you, I already regard Ningning as my grand daughter-in-law, but she hasn't reached the age of consent yet. I wish they could get married right now. Tang, why don't we let them get engaged first?"

Tang Haifeng was surprised to know that Leng Weihua was so satisfied with Gu Ning.

They had talked about the engagement before, and he approved of it too.

"We like Shaoting very much as well. Since they're deeply in love with each other, I think we can gather together someday to have a serious discussion about it. What do you think?" Tang Haifeng asked.

Both of them couldn't wait.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha, great!" Leng Weihua agreed. "I'll fly to City B, and we can talk about it then."

Leng Weihua planned to visit the Tang family in person.

"See you!" Tang Haifeng said with happiness. If Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were going to be engaged, the Leng family should visit the Tang family to make the proposal. It was the custom.

After that, they hung up the pleasant call.

Tang Haifeng then talked about it with Tang Yunhang and his wife.

Tang Yunfan and Gu Man were still on their honeymoon, so they didn't interrupt them. They would be back home the day after tomorrow anyway.

Tang Yunhang and his wife were also supportive, because they knew a happy marriage required the elders' approval.

...

Leng Weihua, on the other hand, kept it a secret from the other members of the Leng family.

He was the most important figure in the Leng family, and Leng Shaoting didn't get along with the other members of the family, so there was no need for him to share the news with them.

He decided to visit the Tang family with Leng Yuanzhen's family at that time.

...

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had no idea that their grandfathers were planning to settle their engagement.

The auction was held on the third day.

The bids were closed yesterday and the day before yesterday, but they were all open that day.

Bidders all gathered in the hall for the auction, and the jade would be sold to the highest bidder.

There were two kinds of jade raw materials which were put out for the open bid. One was a complete jade raw material, while the other was partially-cut jade raw material.

It relied on a person's luck and skills to win money by bidding for the complete jade raw materials.

As for the partially-cut jade raw materials, there was a window which showed green on them, which meant it was highly possible to cut out jade from it.

The results of the open bids would be revealed at the site. The winners of the jade raw materials also needed to get a clearance certificate to move them home. Without a clearance certificate, it would be illegal.

The auction would begin at 12 pm, but people all arrived at 10 am.

There were 100 jade raw materials in all, and they were directly placed in the hall for bidders to have a close look.

Gu Ning had Jade Eyes, so she was able to see whether there was jade in them at a glance.
