"You want to take me with you?"
Gu Jiju glared at her, as if mocking Bai Lan's words.
The car just started and the route was the wide road that led directly to the old house.
Does Gu Jiju mean that she agrees to continue developing the relationship with him?
Now that we are engaged, can we successfully obtain the marriage certificate next?
Bai Lan was ecstatic and his eyes became excited.
But next to Gu Jiju, the woman subconsciously remained calm.
"I understand, I'll get ready now!"
As she spoke, Bai Lan took out cosmetics from her bag and without saying a word began to touch up her makeup and tidy up her appearance.
She didn't have enough time to go back and change her clothes, and staying in the car was already her limit.
Gu Jiju glanced at her sideways, without any emotion in his eyes.
"Then... I'll go back with you to the party. What about the child?"
As the car was about to enter the villa area, Bai Lan remembered Xiaotian's existence.
Gu Jiju was stunned for a moment, then quickly came up with a solution.
"I've already informed Aunt Zhang. She'll go take care of Xiaotian. You just stay with me and go back after the party is over."
Bai Lan was so happy that he didn't have anything else to say.
The excitement on his face was beyond words.
She wished she could stick to Gu Jiju all the time.
As I thought of this, a luxury car happened to stop at the door of the villa.
Bai Lan got out of the car and subconsciously stood next to Gu Jiju, but he took the initiative to stretch out his hand, as if to hint to her to put her arm around his.
In an instant, Bai Lan felt unprecedented care.
"Let's go, I'll go in and call someone later."
The door of the villa was open and many relatives had already arrived.
The large living room was very lively.
Bai Lan was still a little nervous, and kept avoiding Gu Jiju's eyes as she followed him.
"Ji Ju is back!"
Just when Bai Lan was panicking, someone came up to him and greeted him.
Bai Lan's presence quickly became the focus of the entire audience.
"The person next to you is..."
Gu Jiju narrowed his eyes and a curve appeared on his lips.
But the funny look didn't reach his eyes.
No one at the scene could tell that Gu Jiju was forcing a smile and that the words he said were intentional.
"fiancée."
These three short words plunged the scene into silence.
Everyone, including Bai Lan beside him, was a little shocked.
This was the first time that Gu Jiju admitted his identity. No matter what Gu Jiju thought, Bai Lan was extremely surprised.
The woman gasped, but Gu Jiju continued, "It just so happens that we have a family gathering today, so I brought her back to meet everyone."
Gu Jiju patted her shoulder, and Bai Lan stepped forward and introduced herself confidently.
"Hello everyone, my name is Bai Lan, and I'm Gu Jiju's fiancée."
If it weren't for what happened in the past, Gu Jiju would surely approve of Bai Lan's current graceful behavior.
It’s a pity that in Gu Jiju’s eyes, Bai Lan is never qualified.
"Ji Ju, you're kidding, right? Wasn't your previous fiancée Shen Yuan?"
During a period of silence, a relative behind him asked the question that Gu Jiju wanted to answer.
The man forced a smile and walked over on his own. Bai Lan followed him happily, which only attracted everyone's attention to her.
"We just got engaged a few days ago."
"Don't listen to his nonsense!"
Just as Gu Jiju finished speaking, a crisp voice behind him interrupted him.
Looking towards the source of the sound, I just saw Gu's mother walking down.
Everyone headed towards the restaurant, including Bai Lan.
But Gu's mother was still slandering Bai Lan and didn't want to meet her at all.
"Don't take a child's decision seriously. In our Gu family, marriages still need the approval of our elders. He and Bai Lan haven't been together for too long, and the engagement hasn't been finalized yet!"
Gu Jiju did not refute.
Even if Bai Lan took the initiative to hint, Gu Jiju did not want to refute what his mother said.
The relatives around him also joined in, saying that Gu Jiju was too arbitrary and should not be so careless.
Originally, someone like Gu Jiju couldn't stand what these people said at all.
But Gu Jiju just wanted to piss off Bai Lan, so she actually agreed at this moment.
"Yes, you are right. I am still too young and have not thought things through. Since we have a family gathering today, I will leave the matter between Bai Lan and me to the elders to help review it."
After saying this, Bai Lan's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and then he realized that Gu Jiju did it on purpose!
I am not very familiar with the Gu family.
Even if they knew my name, it would probably be some bad news.
This made Bai Lan's palms sweat with nervousness.
Even the expression he showed when he looked at Gu Jiju had changed.
"I……"
She opened her mouth, but hesitated before saying anything.
But the relatives around him interrupted Bai Lan and asked him questions that made Bai Lan more and more confused.
"What do your family members do for a living? Are they also in this city?"
Bai Lan has traveled all over the country since she was a child, and her family has not been in contact with her since they broke up.
Several close brothers and sisters were not involved at all.
At that time, the relative's first question stumped Bai Lan.
"I……"
Bai Lan lowered her eyes, clasped her hands subconsciously, and avoided her relatives' gazes when answering questions, all of which were seen by everyone.
"I haven't had any contact with them since I was very young, so I don't really know much about it."
"That means, if you really marry Gu Jiju, your family members won't come to your wedding to give you their blessings, right?"
