Lu Ziying, however, was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
No way?
Mom actually agreed to get engaged just like that?
Since my brother has succeeded in the revolution, then when she wants to marry that iceberg Gu Jingchen in the future, won’t it be much easier!!!
Lu Ziying's mind is full of Gu Jingchen's love. She feels that she can surpass her expectations and will definitely be with him!
Then he was so excited that he didn't even take two bites of the meal before saying he was full. Then he excitedly rushed upstairs to send a message to Gu Jingchen.
[Big Iceberg! I have good news for you! My brother has successfully fought his battle with his parents! He and my sister-in-law from overseas are getting engaged the day after tomorrow!]
After quickly typing the next line of words and about to send it, Lu Ziying suddenly changed her mind and called Gu Jingchen directly.
Gu family——
Gu Jingchen had just finished a meeting and returned to the office to rest.
Tang Ze carefully brought him a cup of coffee. Seeing that he looked a little tired, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Gu, there is nothing urgent to deal with today. Why don't you go back and rest early..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Jingchen's cell phone rang.
Tang Ze immediately shut up.
Gu Jingchen also picked up the phone casually, and his expression changed the moment he saw who was calling.
Lu Ziying?
What is she calling for?
Gu Jingchen frowned and hung up her phone without hesitation.
"Mr. Gu, you..."
Tang Ze was about to speak again.
But just after he said a few words, Gu Jingchen's phone rang again.
It’s still Lu Ziying.
But this time it was a message.
Gu Jingchen opened it casually and saw a line of words pop up on the screen.
[Big Iceberg!!! My brother's relationship has progressed! It's incredible!! Do you want to know? If you see this message, remember to call me back~]
Gu Jingchen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Lu Ziting...is there any progress?
What progress?
Any progress with An An?
Did the Lu family couple agree that they could be together?
How is this possible!
According to his understanding of the Lu family's wife...
Gu Jingchen had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it. He said to Tang Ze in a deep voice, "You can leave work first. Don't worry about me."
"yes."
Seeing that his mood seemed to have turned very bad in an instant, Tang Ze didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly turned around and left.
With a "click", the door was closed.
The huge office fell silent in an instant.
Gu Jingchen called back almost immediately.
It rang once and then was picked up.
"Tsk tsk tsk, some people seem cold on the surface, but I didn't expect them to be so gossipy in reality~"
Lu Ziying's teasing voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Jingchen was in no mood to waste time talking to her, so he got straight to the point, "What did you mean in your text message?"
"Literally."
Hearing that he was indeed interested in this matter, Lu Ziying also spoke frankly.
"Of course, my brother can finally make peace with the person he loves! It seems my parents aren't as unkind as I thought. They actually agreed to let my brother and Sister An An be together, and they are going to get engaged the day after tomorrow~"
"Engagement the day after tomorrow?"
Gu Jingchen immediately stood up from his office chair, his face full of disbelief.
How could it be...
How come they are getting engaged so soon?
Didn’t An An reject Lu Ziting’s proposal that day?
Gu Jingchen felt a dull pain in his heart, and even the scene in front of him shook for a moment.
Lu Ziying was still chattering on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, engagement. My brother has been eager to get Sister An An hooked! The engagement party is being arranged tomorrow. Do you want to come?"
She finally found out her true purpose.
Then, without waiting for Gu Jingchen to speak, he continued, "Although you are my brother's friend, he will definitely invite you, but now I have gotten there first! If you come, you have to say you are my friend! Or..."
Lu Ziying suddenly paused for a moment, then deliberately teased him, "Or you can attend as my boyfriend, I don't mind. My parents are both here, so I can introduce you to them then..."
"I know. I'll go."
Gu Jingchen was in no mood to listen to her nonsense any longer, so he interrupted her and simply hung up the phone.
My ears suddenly became quiet.
He stood there with a bewildered look on his face, his mind going blank.
The sudden news of Su An and Lu Ziting's engagement was like a heavy hammer, knocking him unconscious.
How could it be so fast?
An An will soon be the Lu family's fiancée...
Will there never be a chance between them?
Gu Jingchen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, wishing that the phone call just now was just a dream.
But, it's all true.
The office was dead silent.
Just then——
Suddenly there was another knock on the door.
Tang Ze's voice also sounded.
"Mr. Gu."
Gu Jingchen suddenly came back to his senses, sat back in his original position, and then said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Tang Ze then walked in and quickly came to his desk, but the expression on his face was a little subtle for some reason.
Then he paused for two seconds before whispering, "Mr. Gu, your wife's house...suddenly isn't for sale."
"What?"
Gu Jingchen was stunned when he heard this. Before he could recover from his previous emotion, his heart trembled violently again.
Tang Ze hurriedly repeated himself, "The agent just called me and said that the lady is not selling the house anymore and there is no room for negotiation. She is willing to pay the penalty directly..."
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything, but his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Not for sale...
Is it because she doesn't plan to leave here?
If the reason she stayed was because she wanted to go back home with him, how nice it would be.
But the fact is, she will soon be Lu Ziting's wife.
The last few words made Gu Jingchen's eyes darken again.
He didn't say anything, so Tang Ze naturally lowered his head, waiting anxiously for his reply.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jingchen finally said in a deep voice, "Tell the agent to charge the lowest penalty."
"yes."
Tang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, and turned away in a hurry.
The office returned to silence.
Gu Jingchen sat there motionless, like a sculpture.
Only those bottomless black eyes were filled with resentment and regret.
An An...
His An An.
Two days later, it will belong to someone else.
