Chapter 216 Seeking the Gu Family's Consent
When Gu Beixiao received the news, his face turned very ugly. He looked at Lu Jingxiao with a deep gaze and emphasized, "If I remember correctly, you two have only been together for less than a week and you're already getting engaged?"
Isn't this a bit too fast?
Lu Jingxiao couldn't help but emphasize that he was very proud: "Weiwei and I were together for three years before, and although we were separated for five years, neither of us forgot each other. That means we were together for eight years before getting engaged. It's slow, okay?"
Gu Beixiao: "..."
Is that how it's calculated?
Is this how it's calculated?
This is a bit outrageous.
“You…you two were separated for five years, who knows if your temperament has changed? No, you two need to talk some more.” Gu Beixiao sneered, “President Lu, you haven’t passed your assessment yet.”
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
I should have spoken more gently.
Now, Gu Beixiao has become the biggest obstacle to his engagement to Weiwei.
I have a bit of a headache.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely protect Weiwei and not let her get hurt in any way. Engagement is not marriage. During the time from engagement to marriage, you can test me at any time. I accept your test in any form."
But the prerequisite is that he has to get engaged to Weiwei!
got engaged!
He's getting engaged to Weiwei!
Gu Beixiao: "..."
Is it really that sincere?
"Are you... serious?"
Lu Jingxiao stood up abruptly, practically pointing his finger at Gu Beixiao. He solemnly assured him, "Of course I'm serious. As for my feelings for Weiwei, you don't need to see what I say, just see what I do. If I do anything wrong, you can tell me."
I can change it.
I will absolutely not let Weiwei suffer any injustice.
Gu Youran was quite excited. Her eldest daughter was finally getting engaged, and she had no objections at all: "Lu Jingxiao, I'm warning you, you must treat my Weiwei well. If you don't treat her well, I will, I will... make my brother beat you to death!"
Gu Beixiao: "..."
My younger sister?
Lu Jingxiao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I welcome your supervision."
Gu Beixiao didn't have any objections. He looked at Luo Zhiwei with a somewhat complicated expression: "I'm fine here, but what... what do you plan to do? Will you notify the Gu family?"
If we directly tell them that Weiwei is getting engaged to Lu Jingxiao.
I doubt even the Gu family would accept this so easily.
Luo Zhiwei suddenly hesitated. She didn't know whether to tell them or not. She didn't know how to face this family.
Lu Jingxiao could see that Weiwei was slightly embarrassed, so he spoke up in his own name: "Let me speak. I'll tell the boss that we'll have a get-together tonight."
"So troublesome?"
Gu Youran didn't quite understand.
What do you think?
Gu Youran remained silent. How would she know?
"Then let's do it your way. Let's talk things out."
Gu Beixiao had no objections and agreed immediately.

When Gu Yulin found out about this, he started cursing at Lu Jingxiao!
What a scoundrel!
You're such a dog!
How could they so easily abduct the Gu family's child?
Let's see how you get past the old man and his family today.
When the Lu family arrived that evening, the Gu family was already sitting together in a neat row, and none of them looked very well.
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
It looks like today is going to be a tough battle.
He tilted his head and looked at Luo Zhiwei: Baby, you have to stand on my side later.
When Gu Yulin saw Lu Jingxiao, he didn't care that the elders were present and started to mock Lu Jingxiao: "Oh, you're here. You little brat, I treat you like a brother. Do you want to be my brother-in-law?"
Lu Jingxiao was not to be outdone, his mouth taunting him: "Weiwei hasn't called you brother yet, what are you thinking?"
These words pierced the hearts of everyone in the Gu family.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Yulin immediately retorted with a boastful tone: "Then you've miscalculated. Weiwei has already called me brother, and it's been several days already."
Lu Jingxiao: "???"
How come I don't know anything about this?
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She had almost forgotten about it.
She acted rashly in the heat of the moment and didn't think much about it.
Gu Yulin stood beside Luo Zhiwei with the air of an 'elder brother,' while Gu Beixiao stood on Luo Zhiwei's other side, not to be outdone.
This posture... clearly shows he's got someone backing him up.
Lu Jingxiao asked in surprise, "Weiwei, is this true?"
"Well..." Luo Zhiwei stammered, "That day they blocked me from entering the villa, and in my panic I called for my brother."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxiao's eyes widened, and he accused Gu Yulin: "Damn it, you took advantage of me!"
"Who said that? This means Weiwei acknowledges me as her brother. Acknowledging me is equivalent to acknowledging the Gu family. You think you can bypass us and get engaged to Weiwei? That's impossible!"
Gu Yulin's arrogant demeanor was really infuriating.
Seeing that he was making things difficult for Lu Jingxiao, Luo Zhiwei went to her boyfriend's side: "Big brother, don't make things difficult for Xiao, he..."
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Yu and the old lady appeared in front of them. Liang Yu asked with a slight smile, "What are you doing standing here?"
"Mom, Grandma, you have no idea how despicable Lu Jingxiao is! He actually hid behind Weiwei!" Gu Yulin seized the opportunity to complain, "Look..."
Liang Yu couldn't help but interrupt her son: "What are you doing? They're a young couple. You're just meddling in other people's business."
Gu Yulin almost broke down because of a single sentence from his own mother.
As the older brother, is it wrong for me to inquire about my sister's love life?
"Weiwei, Axiao, you're here to discuss something, right?" Old Madam Gu said with a smile, "I can tell at a glance that there's something wrong between the two of you."
"Yes, Grandma Gu, I want to get engaged to Weiwei. I don't want to miss out on her again. I hope you can agree."
Lu Jingxiao bowed respectfully to Madam Gu.
"This isn't a decision I can make myself; you'll have to ask your Grandpa Gu's opinion, and also..."
Although Madam Gu didn't put it so bluntly,... I'm sure everyone understood.
Bai Wenyu also stepped forward to greet the old lady first, and then directly invited everyone to take their seats.
The Gu family and the Lu family haven't sat down for a meal together in a long time.
It feels like it's been so long since we've all gathered together like this.
——
Lu Jingxiao stood up first and looked solemnly at everyone in the Gu family: "Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu, Second Uncle Gu, Second Aunt Gu, Eldest Brother, Brother... I invited you all here today because there is something I want to discuss with you."
He walked slowly towards Luo Zhiwei and stood behind her: "I want to get engaged to Weiwei at my birthday party. I hope everyone will agree."
Gu Hancheng frowned, looking at Lu Jingxiao with great displeasure and anger.
"Lu Jingxiao, you... I don't care what your past with Weiwei was like, but you've only been with Weiwei for a few days, and you want to get engaged? Do you think that's appropriate?"
What's inappropriate about it?
“Uncle, even though Weiwei and I have been separated for five years, my feelings for her have never changed. If my bride is not Weiwei, then no one else will.”
Gu Hancheng's cold face narrowed slightly: "Are you trying to use moral blackmail?"
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
When did I mean that?
