☆, Chapter 77 Daughter-in-law
Gu Ximing sent a message to the driver when he was at the police station. A business car was already waiting at the door of the police station, parked not far in front of Bai Yifan's car.
Gu's father and mother had already gotten into the car. Gu Lan and Gu Ximing were standing quietly at the front of the car, glancing over here from time to time.
Obviously waiting for Gu Ran.
With so many things happening, the family must have a small meeting.
Bai Yifan said, "Go quickly, don't keep them waiting."
"Well, I'll go over there then. Brother Bai, you go back and drive slowly."
Gu Ran waved his hand and slowly moved towards his car.
Bai Yifan kept watching her until she got into the car, and then he returned to his own car.
The phone vibrated, Bai Yifan glanced at it and found that it was Bai Qingyuan calling.
He pressed the answer button, "Dad."
"What are you busy with every day, you little brat? Didn't you say you would bring your daughter-in-law back to see your mother and me? So many days have passed, and there's no news at all. Have you forgotten about it?"
Bai Qingyuan started scolding him.
Bai Yifan held the phone a little further away and said, "I haven't forgotten, it's just not the right time yet."
The last time I went home, my parents were still urging me to get married.
Since he already had someone he liked, Bai Yifan just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Bai Qingyuan to take it to heart.
"It's not time yet? Your efficiency is too low! Then tell me when it will be time?"
Bai Qingyuan was a little anxious.
Didn’t we say that young people progress faster?
"This isn't a business matter, how can there be such a clear date?"
Bai Yifan was also speechless. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized something.
He tilted his head to glance at the electronic calendar in front of the car and found that Chinese Valentine's Day was two months later.
He is not a person who particularly has a sense of ritual, but in some things, he is willing to follow a more traditional sense of ritual.
"After Chinese Valentine's Day." Bai Yifan set the date.
He decided to formally confirm his relationship with Gu Ran on Valentine's Day, and the next step was naturally to meet both parties' parents.
He would first take Gu Ran home, get his family's approval, and then go to meet the Gu family.
"There are still two months left, it's so long..." Mr. Gu was obviously a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
"That's a deal. You must bring your daughter-in-law back to show us when the time comes."
"Yes." Bai Yifan agreed.
…
On the other side, a business car was moving slowly forward, and there was complete silence inside the car.
We just experienced a farce, and everyone should have a lot to say now.
But they had too many thoughts and couldn't find a topic to talk about. Plus, the driver was there, so many things were not convenient to say. So everyone was silent after getting in the car.
The silence in a closed space is always unbearable. The drivers felt the oppressive atmosphere, their foreheads were sweating, and they unconsciously increased their speed.
In this way, the journey that originally took an hour was completed in forty minutes.
After sending everyone back to the villa, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and drove away quickly.
The Gu family continued to maintain a strange silence.
"Mrs. Zhang, is there anything to eat?" Gu Ran asked the kitchen helper as soon as he entered the villa.
She felt a little hungry, probably because she had consumed a lot of energy from the series of things that happened today.
"I'm sorry, miss. I didn't know you would be back at this time, and I haven't prepared dinner yet."
Mrs. Zhang said apologetically.
"I'll go prepare it with the chef right away. What would you like to eat, miss?"
"Cook a few bowls of noodles." Before Gu Ran could say anything, Gu Ximing came over and said.
In order to eat fresh and hot melon with Gu Ran, he and Gu's father and mother were displaced today. They didn't even have a good breakfast, let alone lunch.
At this moment, he was actually hungrier than Gu Ran.
Noodles are soupy and quick to make, making them perfect for them now.
Gu Ran also thought this was a good suggestion and nodded, "Then make noodles for us all, Mrs. Zhang."
"Okay, twenty minutes will be enough." Mrs. Zhang hurried to get busy.
The family gathered in the living room, drinking hot tea prepared by the servants while waiting for the meal.
Mix it with water first.
Gu Ran: [Before, I was just busy eating melons and didn’t feel hungry, but now I feel like I can eat a whole cow.]
Gu Ran: [As expected, when people are excited, their adrenaline surges, and they don't even feel hungry. By the time they do, they're already ravenous.]
Aren’t others the same?
In order to catch the flight, Gu Lan didn't eat anything before boarding the plane. After getting off the plane, she had to do a lot of busy work. In fact, she should be the hungriest person here.
But perhaps because she was in a depressed mood, she didn't feel very hungry. She just felt her head was in a mess and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The atmosphere was still somewhat silent, but after a while, someone broke the silence.
Gu Yan is back.
Gu Yan had a dinner appointment with a client today and missed the opportunity to eat this hot melon, and she was very upset.
As soon as the client's dinner was over, Gu Yan immediately called Gu Ximing. She had originally thought that they could go to the hotel for dinner, but it turned out that Gu Ximing and the others were already at the police station.
Catching a cheating couple and reporting them to the police station is definitely a bigger commotion than expected!
Gu Yan felt even more upset that she had missed the fun. After hearing Gu Ximing say that they were about to return, she turned around and drove home.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the lifeless crowd in the living room. Gu Yan was not intimidated. Her curiosity was burning in her heart, so she pulled Gu's mother and asked.
"What's going on? It's such a big fuss. I heard from Ximing that it's even been reported to the police station. Are you guys still resorting to violence?"
If it was just a normal quarrel, it wouldn't have resulted in a police report. Gu Yan knew this very well, but at the very least, a fight would have broken out.
But she didn't expect that Chen An would dare to attack first when the Gu family was so numerous and powerful, so she thought that Gu Lan was so angry that she attacked first.
"Alright, Gu Lan, it's fun to settle scores! This kind of scumbag should be dealt with severely. Just scolding him won't be enough to make you feel better."
Gu Yan gave Gu Lan a thumbs up.
“…” The Gu family was speechless for a moment.
“…” Gu Ran was speechless.
[Sister, what kind of misunderstanding have you made? It was clearly that scumbag who started it!]
[Big sister didn't think about it. If everyone had just ganged up on Chen An for no reason, how could he have returned from the police station so quickly?]
How dare the scumbag take the first step?
Gu Yan's expression changed, and she almost shouted out what was in her heart.
I stopped in time because I remembered that I couldn't reveal Gu Ran's true feelings.
So in the eyes of everyone, she opened her mouth, uttered an incomprehensible syllable, and then closed her mouth again, her face flushed red.
[Well…]
Gu Ran blinked, feeling a little confused.
[What's wrong with Big Sister? She seemed to be about to say something...]
"Sister, I'm going to the balcony to smoke a cigarette. Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Gu Ximing stepped forward in time to rescue Gu Yan and distract Gu Ran at the same time.
