Chapter 9 Angrily Confronting Shen Xizhen
Zheng Jiayu was stunned for a moment, her eyes looking somewhat confused. How could she say such a thing?
She spoke as if she had said these words many times before.
Zheng Jiayu looked dazed, so Gu Yunting waved his hand in front of her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Realizing what had happened, Zheng Jiayu quickly shook her head: "It's nothing."
"Let's continue discussing this."
When the two were discussing it, Gu Yunting said, "I submitted the marriage application when I went to pick you up. I'll go ask my supervisor if the application is ready. If it is, let's go shopping tomorrow and get our marriage certificate together."
Zheng Jiayu didn't react for a moment, and turned to look at Gu Yunting blankly: "So fast?"
“Some things can only be done with an upright identity, otherwise some people will use your reputation to deal with you, which is not a good thing.” Given Shen Lin’s personality, she wouldn’t let it go so easily.
If they didn't have a public identity, Shen Lin would definitely use this to cause trouble.
Zheng Jiayu wasn't stupid; she instantly understood what Gu Yunting meant.
After a moment's thought, he agreed to Gu Yunting's request.
"Okay, let's get the marriage certificate tomorrow."
...
Shen Lin stormed home, and Shen Xizhen glanced at her and said, "Weren't you going to find Gu Yunting? Why are you back?"
"Brother, Gu Yunting brought a woman back, and that person is his fiancée. What should I do?" Shen Lin asked anxiously, sitting opposite Shen Xizhen.
Shen Xizhen put down her teacup and looked at Shen Lin: "Gu Yunting has a fiancée? How is that possible?"
"It's true. That bitch's name is Zheng Jiayu. Judging from how much Gu Yunting cherishes her, he probably likes her." Shen Lin said with a gloomy face.
She had been pursuing Gu Yunting for so many years. She liked Gu Yunting since she was a child and even asked her parents to arrange a marriage with the Gu family.
However, the Gu family had absolutely no intention of forming a marriage alliance with the Shen family.
Not only did they not mean that, they were also very dissatisfied with the Shen family.
This caused the relationship between the Shen family and the Gu family to plummet to a freezing point. No matter what they said, the Gu family was unwilling for Gu Yunting to be with Qian Chi.
“Brother, I can’t let Gu Yunting get married. I’ve liked him all these years. How can I let some shady woman steal the man who belongs to me?” Shen Lin said with a grim expression.
Shen Xizhen was very dissatisfied with Shen Lin's hysteria. She frowned slightly and said impatiently, "That's enough."
"It's because of your personality that the Gu family looks down on you, and you still don't know how to repent." Shen Xizhen was the one who saw things most clearly.
Shen Lin stared wide-eyed at Shen Xizhen and said with dissatisfaction, "Brother, am I really your sister? How could you treat me like this?"
"Shen Lin, if you weren't my sister, I wouldn't even bother talking to an idiot like you."
Even though he knew Gu Yunting's attitude, he still wanted to cause trouble for him.
Is this because they're afraid people won't know that the Shen family is targeting the Gu family?
Shen Lin felt somewhat aggrieved, but Shen Xizhen's words gradually calmed her down. She muttered to herself, "Then what do you think I should do?"
“A strategic retreat is a way to advance. Gu Yunting isn’t someone who compromises easily. As long as they haven’t registered their marriage, you still have a chance,” Shen Xizhen said calmly, glancing at Shen Lin.
Shen Lin frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion: "Big brother, what do you mean..."
"Alright, if you know it in your heart, don't say it out loud." Shen Xizhen boldly spoke up against Shen Lin's words and stood up from her chair.
"Yunting has a fiancée; I'm going to go check on her."
Shen Lin quickly stood up: "Big brother, I'll go with you too."
“You can’t go. They don’t like you to begin with. If you go with them, won’t that just make them angrier?” Shen Xizhen’s purpose in going there was to find out about Zheng Jiayu’s situation, not to have Shen Lin go and argue with Gu Yunting.
Shen Lin looked at Shen Xizhen with dissatisfaction.
But when he saw Shen Xizhen's indifferent face, he could only shut up in frustration and stay at home.
I didn't even dare to secretly follow them.
Shen Xizhen arrived at Gu Yunting's house and, seeing Gu Yunting talking to Zheng Jiayu, said with a smile, "Yunting, you're back."
Gu Yunting glanced at Shen Xizhen but didn't say anything.
This brother and sister really went to unnecessary lengths.
People are already here, why are they still asking such meaningless questions?
"Did you need something from me?"
Shen Xizhen's gaze fell on Zheng Jiayu: "And who is this?"
"My fiancée, Zheng Jiayu." Gu Yunting coldly watched as Shen Xizhen introduced Zheng Jiayu to Shen Xizhen.
The introduction of the eldest son's wife made Shen Xizhen frown slightly; it seemed that Gu Yunting was serious.
He seemed to really like this fiancée, otherwise he wouldn't have introduced her like this at this time.
"What brings you here? If there's nothing else, we have other things to do, so we won't keep you any longer." Gu Yunting directly dismissed him.
Shen Xizhen's expression was rather unpleasant, and she was very dissatisfied with Gu Yunting.
Gu Yunting really doesn't give them any face at all.
"Yunting, you suddenly have a fiancée. Won't your family say anything? After all, they value your marriage very much." Shen Xizhen said this to remind Gu Yunting.
At the same time, it also implies to Zheng Jiayu that Gu Yunting is not a good match, that she will not have a good ending if she is with Gu Yunting, and that she will not even be approved by the Gu family.
Sensing the implication in Shen Xizhen's words, Zheng Jiayu asked, "Comrade, are you deliberately here to cause us trouble?"
"Gu Yunting, is this your friend?"
“He’s not my friend, he’s Shen Lin’s brother, his name is Shen Xizhen.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiayu looked at Shen Xizhen with sudden realization: "So you're Shen Lin's brother. Did you come here because Shen Lin told you that Gu Yunting has a fiancée?"
"If you're someone who always stands up for your sister, why are you asking such a stupid question?" Zheng Jiayu asked, feigning curiosity.
Shen Xizhen's face darkened, and she looked at Zheng Jiayu with great dissatisfaction: "I'm not here to speak up for Shen Lin."
"If you're not helping Chen Lin, then why are your words so strange?"
"Are you even implying that the Gu family is difficult to get along with and won't accept me? Is that what you mean?" Zheng Jiayu bluntly exposed Shen Xizhen's little thoughts.
Shen Xizhen was speechless for a moment; she had never met anyone who would tell her everything to her face.
Gu Yunting and Zheng Jiayu looked at Shen Xizhen together.
As Shen Xizhen began to explain, Gu Yunting said, "I don't care what your purpose is, but I want to tell you that I don't like you. Also, my engagement with Jiayu was arranged by my grandfather and the others. My parents naturally know about this, and you don't need to worry about it."
"Oh, I see. I was overthinking it." Shen Xizhen looked at the two of them with a sincere expression.
