☆, Chapter 14: Rebirth

[What?] Gu Ran suddenly perked up, [Broken engagement? Tell me in detail!]

Gu Ximing, who was driving, twitched his lips. He was very confused about what this new system was, but he was afraid of exposing the fact that he could hear Gu Ran's thoughts, so he could only hold back and not ask.

"It can't be considered a break-off of the engagement. It's just about resolving the marriage with Gu Ximing." The system stated what it had found out.

The ancestors of the Bai and Gu families were old friends, and even up to the generation of Gu's father and Bai's father, they still had a very good relationship.

Mr. Bai has only one son, Bai Yifan, and wealthy families all pay attention to matching the status of their partners, so Bai Yifan's romantic partner will most likely be chosen from among the socialites in the circle.

The Gu family has three daughters. None of them are the delicate type. They all have their own careers and are very strong women.

Since Mr. Bai and Mr. Gu have such a good relationship, it was natural for them to think about the marriage.

Father Bai did not hide his thoughts and naturally mentioned them to Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan naturally disagreed and refused several times, but his father still didn't give up.

Bai Yifan was afraid that his father would decide his marriage on impulse one day, so he came to Gu's company to find Gu Ximing.

Bai Yifan didn't have any other intentions, he just wanted Gu Ximing to find out what the two elders of the Gu family were thinking.

If Gu's father is also so active, then it is not enough for Bai Yifan to fight alone. It is better to let the daughters of the Gu family know about this matter as soon as possible. If they don't have that intention, just refuse it directly, so as to save Bai's father from getting too excited.

After listening to the system's explanation, Gu Ran fell into deeper doubts.

[So if a marriage is really arranged, who will Gu Dad choose? The eldest sister or the second sister?]

She simply excluded herself. After all, she was the youngest in the family, and because of the original owner's previous intellectual problems, the Gu family always treated her as a child and would definitely not arrange her marriage before her two older sisters.

[My second sister is a love-brained person, completely devoted to this scumbag. There's no way she'd agree to the marriage, right?]

[Gu Dad might have taken a fancy to Gu Yan.]

[But Gu Yan also...]

[well…]

Gu Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

[In fact, Bai Yifan was right to look down on the Gu family's daughter. After all, these people in the Gu family are like possessed by ghosts...]

How did you become obsessed? What about Gu Yan? Why don't you finish what you're saying?

Gu Ximing scratched his head and ears when he heard Gu Ran's incoherent thoughts, but he couldn't ask directly.

He thought for a while, trying to find an excuse to hint at something, but now he was already at the doorstep.

The housekeeper opened the door and came out to greet him. Gu Ximing could only give up for the time being and ask in detail another day when he had time.

Or you can wait until Gu Yan is around and hint at it indirectly. Maybe you can kill two birds with one stone and let Gu Yan hear it too.

Now, except for Gu Lan, the Gu family attaches great importance to and trusts Gu Ran's thoughts. Even if Gu Yan really does something stupid in the future, it should be avoided if she listens to Gu Ran's thoughts first.

"Third Young Master, Miss, Madam Sun is here and she has brought Miss Sun with her." The butler reminded before entering the living room.

Gu Ximing paused.

Gu Ran was also stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered who this so-called Madam Sun was.

There's no way around it. Although she's just an insignificant supporting character in the original book, Mei Yan has done so many amazing things that it's hard for Gu Ran not to be impressed.

[Gu Ma's third sister, who always comes to ask for money, is here. It's going to be fun, hehe.]

[According to seniority, I should call that woman Third Aunt.]

In the living room, separated only by a hallway, Gu's mother heard Gu Ran's inner thoughts: "..."

“…” Gu Ximing who was walking behind Gu Ran.

Gu Ran walked in without noticing, humming a tune out of tune in his heart.

[I remember this Third Aunt had an adopted daughter who she always kept with her. Every time she saw Third Brother, she'd try to match him up with her. I guess she brought her here today for the same reason. Third Brother is in such a pity.]

It was very annoying. If the housekeeper had told him a few minutes earlier, Gu Ximing would not have wanted to go in and would have driven away directly.

But they had already reached the living room door, and out of courtesy he couldn't just leave without even saying hello, so he had to bite the bullet and go in with Gu Ran.

"Oh, Ximing is back. I was just talking about you to your mom. Speak of the devil and he'll appear!"

Mei Yan giggled and stood up, walked towards Gu Ximing, grabbed Gu Ximing's hand, patted the back of Gu Ximing's hand affectionately, and pulled him towards his adopted daughter Sun Miao.

"Half a year since we last met, Ximing has become more and more handsome. Xiao Miao, come and take a look. Isn't your cousin getting more and more handsome?"

Mei Yan seemed not to notice Gu Ran who came in with her the whole time, and her whole heart was on Gu Ximing.

This kind of neglect made Mother Gu feel uncomfortable. She coughed lightly and calmly pulled Gu Ximing back, saying, "Sit down and talk. It's not like we haven't seen each other for years. There's no need to be so affectionate."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in these words, and Mei Yan was not stupid, so she naturally heard it.

She smiled awkwardly, feeling quite disapproving in her heart.

Mei Yan knew that Gu's mother was angry that she ignored Gu Ran, but so what? A yellow-haired girl with low intelligence, who couldn't even speak clearly, and looked like she had no ability to inherit the property, why should she bother to deal with her?

Gu Ximing is different.

The Gu family only has two sons. Gu Xiyan joined the national team at a very young age. As an athlete who knows nothing except swimming, it is obviously impossible for him to inherit the family business.

Not only is most of the company in Gu Ximing's hands now, it will probably be the same in the future.

Therefore, among the people in the Gu family, Mei Yan admires Gu Ximing the most.

Of course, she especially wanted to marry her adopted daughter to Gu Ximing.

"Xiao Ran, this is my third aunt. You haven't seen her in several years." Mother Gu took Gu Ran's hand and introduced her to her with a smile.

Before Gu Ranren opened his mouth, his thoughts were already expressed.

[Of course I remember my third aunt, the one who despised the poor and loved the rich. Even though she was a minor supporting role, I remember her more vividly than the main characters.]

"Aunt San, you're quite free today." Gu Ran greeted politely, and her expression didn't reveal how much contempt she felt in her heart.

Mei Yan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at Gu's mother in surprise.

"Ouch, this scared me. Can Gu Ran speak now?"

This was not the first time Mei Yan met Gu Ran. Every time they met before, Gu Ran spoke word by word and hid timidly behind his mother, looking unpleasant.

She often came to Gu's house, but Gu Ran always hid in his room and usually didn't want to see anyone.

It's only been a few years since I last saw him, but the Gu Ran in front of me is different from what I remembered.

"Yes, Xiao Ran is much better now." Mother Gu was happy when she said this, and she put her arm around Gu Ran's shoulder and patted him affectionately.

No one expected that after just that fall, Gu Ran would recover so much and even awaken the ability to foresee and understand thoughts.

Voice of the heart, new life.

This is probably also Gu Ran’s new life.
