Chapter 187 Divorced Wife Turns on Herself vs. Arrogant Rich Husband (16)

A month passed quickly.

During this period, Gu Likun often took Jiang Zhiyi to various occasions, introduced her to many people, and also arranged for her to meet Xu Yansen a few times.

After the dinner ended that day, the two got into the car and prepared to go home.

Gu Likun broke the silence and said, "Is there anyone you've taken a liking to? Someone you want to completely let go of the past... I think Xu Yansen is a good choice."

Jiang Zhiyi had long understood Gu Likun's intentions. These past few days, what appeared to be ordinary social engagements were actually arranged blind dates for her.

“I also think he’s a good match,” she said.

It was rare for Gu Likun to hear her agree, so she must be satisfied. "If you like him, then let's arrange to meet him again another day."

"Okay." She didn't refuse.

...

After that day, Jiang Zhiyi and Xu Yansen began to see each other more frequently.

"Here, try this, it's delicious." Xu Yansen ladled a bowl of soup for her.

"Thank you." She reached out and took it. "And the painting you gave me last time, I really liked it."

Xu Yansen: "Next time I have the chance, I'll paint another one for you, and we'll find a place with even better scenery."

She nodded, then asked, "...Do you like me?"

Xu Yansen paused, holding his chopsticks; he hadn't expected her to ask that question so suddenly.

He quite liked her... He felt relaxed and comfortable when he was with her.

In his last painting, he added a few deer, which he felt resembled her—lively and agile deer in the forest.

"And what about you?" he asked instead of answering.

“…I’m just like you,” she said with a smile.

Xu Yansen pursed his lips, his ears turning slightly red.

Jiang Zhiyi seemed to have thought of something else, and she said, "My younger brother likes you a lot too..."

Gu Jiahang kept mentioning his name, calling him "Brother Yansen" this and "Brother Yansen" that, until she was sick of hearing it.

She used to think that Xu Yansen was the refined villain type, after all, he looked polite and had a calculating air about him.

But after spending these days together, she realized he wasn't at all what she thought. He was quite naive and often did silly things.

No wonder, after all, he's the kind of person who can get along well with Gu Jiahang, so... will Gu Jiahang be like him when he grows up?

"I'll go see Jiahang another day." Xu Yansen was still thinking about the word "also" in her words.

Jiang Zhiyi took a sip of juice and then asked him with a smile, "Should we get engaged?"

Xu Yansen looked at her with a somewhat surprised expression.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to?" she asked.

"No...no, I just didn't expect it to be so fast. I thought you..." He still thought she didn't like him.

Jiang Zhiyi remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

When Xu Yansen saw her watery eyes, he realized that what he had just said seemed a bit off. "Then I'll go back and tell my parents."

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my dad about this later."

Jiang Zhiyi reached out to hold his hand, and he held it back.

After finishing their meal, the two left the private room together.

Not far behind them in the corridor, Chu Lincheng also came out of a private room.

His gaze fell on their clasped hands, which did indeed look very intimate.

"I'm going to the restroom. You can wait for me in the car," Jiang Zhiyi said.

"Okay." Xu Yansen helped her with her bag.

...

The corridor outside the restroom.

"You've found someone new so quickly?" Chu Lincheng blocked her way.

Jiang Zhiyi didn't expect to run into him here. Hearing the intentional or unintentional sarcasm in his words, she couldn't help but say, "Is it strange? It was like this even before the divorce. You know that."

Chu Lincheng was completely speechless after her retort.

"That's great, then I wish you all the best."

"Thank you for your blessing." Jiang Zhiyi didn't have much patience and was ready to just walk around him.

He stopped her again, saying, "He's not right for you."

He had dealt with Xu Yansen a few times before. This man was weak and unassuming; he was more like a younger brother to her, but definitely not a husband.

He knew she liked this type.

A few days ago, he was really annoyed, so he went to the club and ordered a few young men. He wanted to see what kind of people were seducing her.

They're nothing special, just a bunch of pretty boys, nothing remarkable.

"I like him, you don't need to worry about it." Jiang Zhiyi said this and left without saying anything more to him.

Chu Lincheng's face was gloomy. He stared at her back and stood there for a long time without moving.

...

A few days later, the Gu family and the Xu family met formally and finalized the marriage between the two.

Next, they began preparing for the engagement party: venue, wedding attire, guest list, invitations...

Jiang Zhiyi looked at the busy Gu family.

Gu Likun clearly attached great importance to this engagement banquet; it could be said that almost everyone in City A with any status received their invitation.

This will be an incredibly grand banquet, enough to let everyone know how much the Gu family values ​​her.

Of course, the Chu family was not invited, and it was not very convenient for her ex-husband to come to such an occasion.

However, with such a big commotion, even if no invitation was sent, they should still be aware of it.

"It's time to sleep. We have to try on dresses first thing tomorrow morning," Li Sumei reminded him.

"Okay, you should get some rest too." Jiang Zhiyi turned and went back to her room.

Actually, what dress she chose wasn't important. From the beginning, she never intended to get engaged to Xu Yansen, which meant it was destined to be a failed engagement party.

On the day of the banquet, the Gu family will lose face in the entire City A because of her elopement.

Jiang Zhiyi vented her anger by grabbing her doll.

She has it tough too; the task is really difficult, tiring and she gets scolded. In the end, everyone will definitely blame her for her mistakes...

In the end, she was kicked out of the Gu family.

"Ding—" A message arrived on my phone.

She lay in bed, picked up her phone, and saw it was a text message from Chu Lincheng.

Chu Lincheng: [Are you really going to get engaged?]

She was already annoyed and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Jiang Zhiyi: [Get lost, you idiot!]

She replied and then blocked him.
