At the same time that Song Qingwan received Lin Man's message, at the Gu family's old residence.
Madam Gu looked at her son across from her, who was noticeably thinner and whose brows were etched with a lingering melancholy, and sighed softly.
“That girl from the Shen family, Nian'an.”
Mrs. Gu said with a hint of regret, "After getting to know her recently, I feel that she has made a lot of progress."
"Although he is still a bit spoiled, he is simple-minded and knows when to advance and retreat, which is better than I imagined."
"I was thinking that if you haven't made up your mind yet, she would be a good option."
She paused, then changed the subject: "It's a pity that the Shen family has had so many troubles lately, so we were just not meant to be."
She looked up at Gu Chengyu, her tone becoming serious: "Chengyu, you're not young anymore, and your father's health hasn't been as good as before. He's really planning to retire and enjoy his retirement."
"What are your thoughts on this marriage alliance? There needs to be a plan."
Gu Chengyu was listening absentmindedly, counting the days until the weekend in his mind, thinking about that charming and carefree girl.
Arranged marriage? He had almost forgotten about it.
He originally planned to refuse outright; his own situation was already a mess, why would he want to bring his wife over and cause him more trouble?
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but then his eyes flickered, and his thoughts shifted.
He suddenly looked up at his mother, his face expressionless, his voice unusually calm: "No need to wait until later."
Madam Gu was taken aback: "What?"
"Let's do it now."
Gu Chengyu smirked: "Spread the word that the Gu family is preparing for a marriage alliance."
Madam Gu was stunned, almost doubting that she had misheard.
She had brought it up with him several times in the past few months, but each time he would either interrupt her impatiently or just walk away. Why did he change his attitude today?
"Chengyu, are you serious?" Madam Gu looked at Gu Chengyu, trying to find any trace of a joke on his face.
"Of course it's true." Gu Chengyu's tone was indifferent, but very certain.
"You can decide on the candidate; there's no need to arrange a meeting, it's a waste of time."
He paused, then added, "The sooner the better."
For a moment, Madam Gu was at a loss: "Don't worry about the choice, Mom will definitely pick the best one for you."
"If the Shen family doesn't work, there's the Song family. The Song family's daughter, Qingwan, is quite good; she's well-educated, reasonable, and plays the piano exceptionally well..."
She chattered on and on, her face beaming with undisguised joy.
Gu Chengyu seemed not to hear him and got up and left.
He thought, "Hurry up."
He wanted to see how the girl who kept saying she didn't like him would react when she heard he was going to marry someone else.
Will she continue her campus life without a care, or will she feel a little uncomfortable? A little jealous?
If she comes back and tells him she's jealous, he can refuse to marry anyone else and just have her by himself from now on.
As long as she no longer dislikes him and is willing to like him, that's fine.
