Yan Yirou paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

She also hoped there was no connection whatsoever, but this was the Yan family home, and the people who plotted against Gu Chenye's elder brother were members of the Yan family. How could there be no connection?

Ji Moyan reached out and touched Yan Yirou's head, just about to speak.

Sudden!

Madam Yan said solemnly, "Ayan, do whatever you want. I won't interfere, and neither will my husband."

Ji Moyan met her gaze and smiled: "Okay."

She will not let Madam Yan off the hook. Even if she loses out, she will pay the price for daring to lay a hand on her son!

Otherwise, people would really think that Gu Jia has no temper at all!

She said this to reassure her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; she was only concerned with the person and the matter at hand, and would not hold a grudge against others, much less break off the engagement.

Yan Yirou stared blankly at them.

She seemed to understand what her future mother-in-law meant.

Ji Moyan was worried about her eldest son's condition and said to them, "I'll make a phone call first."

When the call was made, the phone was switched off.

Why did it shut down?

Ji Moyan had no choice but to call home. Uncle Qiao answered the phone and said that the eldest young master had not returned.

She thought for a moment and then called her youngest son, who was in the hospital.

"Did your older brother go to the hospital?"

"Didn't he go to the airport?"

"To the airport?"

Ji Moyan immediately became anxious: "When did he go to the airport? Is he alright?"

Gu Yunzhen, on the other end of the phone, sensed something was off about her tone and lowered her eyes slightly: "Mom, what happened to my older brother at the banquet?"

Ji Moyan sighed: "Your older brother drank spiked liquor, and I'm worried about his health."

Gu Yunzhen: "..."

My older brother went to see Heng-ge, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Otherwise, given my brother's personality, he would never have gone to find Heng Ge, even if you beat him to death.

Gu Yunzhen reassured her, "Mom, I'll have my older brother call you to let you know he's safe after he gets off the plane."

That's the only way.

Ji Moyan hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, in the backyard.

Madam Yan was dumbfounded when she saw a fierce-looking man sitting shirtless at the foot of the bed, while her daughter was huddled at the head of the bed wrapped in a quilt!

What's going on here?

Where is Gu Yilou?

How did it turn into a strange man?

Madam Yan's eldest sister-in-law blocked the doorway and called out, "Young Master Gu? What are you doing here?"

This has truly caused a huge stir!

"Young Master Gu?"

"The people in the room are actually Young Master Gu and Yan Yixuan?"

"That's impossible! Young Master Gu is a man of impeccable character, how could he be so desperate? There must be a mistake!"

"..."

The crowd behind them—some curious, some jealous, and some indignant—all pushed their way in.

Madam Yan was brought back to reality by her sister-in-law's voice, but it was too late to close the door.

The ladies and young ladies entered the room.

The bed was messy, and the man and woman were alone; they had clearly already had sex.

Several families had their eyes on Gu Yilou tonight, but before they could make a move, Yan Yixuan beat them to it!

hateful!

However, when the man at the foot of the bed finished dressing and turned around...

"What?! Isn't that Zeng Chengxian? He's a completely different type from Young Master Gu! How could you mistake him for someone else? I'm speechless!"

"Yes, what's Zeng Chengxian doing here?"

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

Few of the ladies present were fools; a little thought would reveal the wicked scheme that Madam Yan and her daughter were plotting.

In an instant, the crowd exchanged glances, each seeing contempt, disdain, ridicule, and a hint of sympathy in the other's eyes.

Of course, I don't feel sorry for Madam Yan and her daughter who tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing money. Instead, I feel sorry for Yan Yirou, the eldest daughter of the Yan family who is about to marry into the Gu family.

If the Gu family completely loses their respect for the Yan family because of this incident, then the marriage will be canceled.

One of the young ladies couldn't help but feel happy.

They believed that Yan Yirou was able to marry into the Gu family because of her good relationship with Shangguan Wu, which gave her an advantage.

If they had a good relationship with Shangguan Wu and frequently visited the Gu family, then they would be the ones to marry into the Gu family!

In their eyes, Shangguan Wu was stupid.

Before Yan Yirou went abroad, she liked Gu Sishao so much, she liked him for many years, how could she just give up like that? Her approach to Shangguan Wu must have impure motives, but Shangguan Wu happens to be her best friend.

Are they sisters of Shangguan Wuque?

They can do it too!

suddenly!

"mom!"

Yan Yixuan buried her face in the blanket and mumbled, "Make them all leave! I don't want to see anyone!"

Madam Yan forced a smile, looked at everyone, and said to her eldest sister-in-law, "Elder sister-in-law, please invite all the ladies and young ladies to the hall."

I hope everyone can forget what happened tonight once they leave this room. Please.

After Madam Yan finished speaking, she bowed deeply to everyone.

Having said that, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, Zeng Chengxian suddenly spoke up: "Madam, no matter how I got in, now that it has happened, I will take responsibility for her and marry her."

He stood up and looked at Madam Yan with a serious expression.

Everyone couldn't help but turn around, wanting to hear more.

The door was already closed.

Madam Yan was intimidated by the man's imposing manner and became even more hesitant to marry her daughter to him, though she showed no sign of it on her face.

“Mr. Zeng, your ability to take responsibility proves you are a responsible person. However, marriage is not a game; it concerns Xuanxuan’s entire life. I hope you can both consider this carefully. Moreover, marriage is not a decision you can make alone. You should tell your parents first.”
