Chapter 10 This is called fighting

Mrs. Gu was originally looking at the gift list to be sent to the Jian family. When she heard this, her ears suddenly pricked up. She raised her eyes and glared at her fourth son, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is Dang Zhiyan a bully? How dare he rob a girl in the street?"

Master Gu, who was a very powerful figure outside, was glared at by his own mother. He looked at his nephew aggrievedly and dared not say a word.

Gu Zhiyan picked up a lychee from the fruit plate and played with it, saying calmly, "How can you call it stealing if it's not public?"

He lowered his eyes and turned the lychee in his hand, his eyes were deep, and he chose his words carefully, "I call this fighting for it."

"Yes, strive for it!"

Her own pigs are finally able to eat cabbages, and Mrs. Gu gives her unconditional support.

She closed the thick stack of gift lists in her hand and pointed at her children.

"I didn't ask you to come here to chat. Time is urgent and we can't lose courtesy. Let's see if there is anything missing and add it quickly."

As soon as the old lady spoke, the maid immediately handed the copied list to everyone. Everyone held a copy and read it more seriously than signing a company document.

"Why don't you have any properties abroad? I have a winery in Country F, which would be perfect for them to have their honeymoon."

"I have a few sets of antique jewelry that I just bought at a auction, so I'll add them in as well."

"This series of sports cars has five colors. I haven't collected all of them yet. I'll add them."

Gu's family has many industries, and basically everyone is responsible for different projects. The gifts they give are basically their own "specialties".

After the gift list was handed out, the old lady looked at the gift list which had become half an inch thicker and nodded with satisfaction.

When the show was over, everyone left one after another, and Gu Zhiyan stayed until the end.

The old lady looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Zhiyan smiled embarrassedly, "Grandma, I told Yaoyao that you were not in good health, so I urged you to get married. Don't show your true colors later."

Mrs. Gu: “…”

This bastard! Is he trying to make trouble with his own grandmother?

Seeing that the slap of grandma's love was about to hit him, Gu Zhiyan took two steps back calmly, "Grandma, if you don't say anything, I will assume that you know it."

After saying that, he left quickly.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at her grandson's back as he left, cursed with a smile, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

If the old man were still alive, he would be so happy to know that A-Yan's life was settled.

＊

Jian Yao slept very deeply this time.

When I woke up, it was already completely dark.

There was no light on in the room, but with the faint light coming in from the window, one could vaguely see the layout of the room.

It was eerily quiet all around, as if she was the only one left in the world.

Jian Yao rubbed her eyes, and a strong sense of loneliness surged from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't help but hug her arms and curled up on the bed.

The cell phone on the table flashed white light, dispelling a little darkness, as if there was some news coming in.

Jian Yao remembered that her phone was on mute. Afraid of missing out on important messages, she leaned over the bed, picked up the phone on the table and turned it on.

It’s news from Gu Zhiyan.

Gu Zhiyan: Have you eaten yet? Grandma asked someone to make chicken soup. I asked someone to bring it to you.

It would have been fine if Gu Zhiyan didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, she really felt a little hungry.

Jian Yao touched her hungry stomach and checked the time.

It's already past eight o'clock in the evening. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to ask someone to deliver it?

Although she and Gu Zhiyan were going to be engaged soon, it didn't prevent them from getting to know each other well.

She was afraid of causing trouble for Gu Zhiyan, and was about to say no, when she received another message from Gu Zhiyan.

"I'm at the old house, very close to where you live. It only takes about ten minutes to drive there. It's grandma's gift, so don't worry about causing trouble."

He had already said this much, Jian Yao no longer pretended to be nice, and replied with a "OK."

Afraid of appearing too cold, I sent an emoticon of a nodding cat.

After replying, she did not exit immediately, but for some unknown reason she clicked on Gu Zhiyan’s circle of friends.

The original Moments background and an empty Moments.

Jian Yao: “…”

Well, it fits his cool and domineering personality...

After exiting Gu Zhiyan's chat interface, she saw at a glance more than a dozen missed calls and WeChat messages from Assistant Lin, the earliest of which could be traced back to last night.

"Ms. Jian, Mr. Lu is very busy and will not be there in person. Please just send the dress you have chosen to him for him to take a look."

"Director Wu will send the Lu family's banquet list over. Please reply after you confirm it."

What followed was the questioning after she hadn't answered the phone or responded for a long time.

Jian Yao glanced at it casually, set Assistant Lin's WeChat to do not disturb, and then changed her phone to vibrate.

As for Assistant Lin's call, she didn't plan to return it, and she didn't plan to answer it before her vacation was over.

After all this trouble, the emotions that had just been surging calmed down.

Jian Yao rolled around twice on the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and got out of bed.

The people sent by Gu Zhiyan arrived very quickly. Just as she finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, the doorbell rang.

Perhaps out of consideration for the fact that she was a single girl, the person who came was a aunt in her forties.

Seeing her open the door, Wang Ma smiled and handed over the thermos bucket in her hand, "Miss Jian, Mr. Gu asked me to bring this over. Drink it while it's hot."

As she spoke, her eyes quickly scanned Jian Yao's face, admiring her without staring, and not in an annoying way.

Jian Yao knew that the person who came was from the old house, so she took the thermos bucket with both hands and smiled generously, "Please go and thank the old lady for me when you go back."

When Wang Ma heard this, she smiled and said, "No trouble, I will definitely take your message to you."

Jian Yao stood at the door and watched Wang Ma enter the elevator before closing the door and going in.

Back in the restaurant, Jian Yao opened the lid of the thermos box, revealing a large bucket of chicken soup that made one's appetite grow.

She took out the bowl and chopsticks, scooped out a bowl, and before she started eating, she took a photo and sent it to Gu Zhiyan.

Jian Yao: “Got it~ It smells so good!”

As soon as the photo and message were sent, the other side showed that they were being typed.

Gu Zhiyan: "As long as you like it, I'm eating too. Go to bed early after dinner."

As they were talking, a photo was sent over there.

He should be having dinner with his family. The photo only captured Gu Zhiyan's own bowl and chopsticks, which contained the same chicken soup as hers.

Jian Yao clicked on the picture and took a closer look. Then, she tapped her finger and replied, "OK."

The chef at the Gu family is very skilled. The chicken soup is rich and clear in color. The fat has been skimmed off in advance, so it is not greasy at all.

Jian Yao was drinking chicken soup, her mind still a little groggy from just waking up.

We agreed to cooperate, so how come I got to drink the chicken soup sent by Gu Zhiyan on the first day?

Jian Yao thought she would have an easy time for the remaining two days, but her sister said that since the people had been replaced, other things should also be replaced, otherwise it would seem that she did not value Gu Zhiyan.

It was obviously too late to customize, and what was delivered were the latest dresses and jewelry of the season from major high-end luxury brands.

Because the invitations had already been sent out, the hotel address did not change, but the on-site layout was added with a few additions on the original basis.

What surprised Jian Yao the most was that Lu Chengze's parents refused to attend the engagement party on the grounds of illness.
