Chapter 9: You stole someone’s wife?

Assistant Lin secretly observed Lu Chengze's expression and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "The call is from the old butler."

He didn't say it directly, but the old butler was Mr. Lu's confidant and mouthpiece. Since it was him who called, it meant that Mr. Lu had already agreed.

Lu Chengze is not the child of Mrs. Lu, but an illegitimate child of the Lu family.

That year, his mother died of heavy hemorrhage after giving birth to Lu Chengze. Mrs. Lu refused to let Lu Chengze enter the Lu family. Lu's father could not suppress his wife, so he had to send him to an orphanage and gave money to let the orphanage take care of him.

Later, the Lu family gradually declined, and they thought of using their children to arrange a marriage. After Jian Yao was adopted into the Jian family, in order to get close to the Jian family, they also brought Lu Chengze back.

The wife that Special Assistant Lin mentioned was Mrs. Lu who forced Lu Chengze into the orphanage.

Over the years, with the support of the Jian family, Lu Chengze has firmly surpassed the other children of the Lu family and successfully became the heir of the Lu family. Mrs. Lu is almost biting her silver teeth off.

She couldn't change the fact that the marriage was going to take place, and she didn't want to make things too easy for Lu Chengze, so she did a lot of things in secret.

The so-called overseas trip was nothing more than an opportunity to embarrass the Jian family and to sow discord between Lu Chengze and Jian Yao.

Special Assistant Lin let out a breath of foul air.

This time, he really felt a little sympathy for Miss Jian Yao.

On the day of the engagement, my fiancé's family was unable to make it to the event, and there was probably no other family in the entire capital.

With a "click", Lu Chengze lit another cigarette and took a deep puff.

Nicotine rolled around in my lungs, irritating my chest and causing a slight pain. My voice was also mixed with sand, making it scary and hoarse. "I know."

I don't know how long it took, but in the hazy smoke, I heard another voice, "Change your flight. I will try my best to get back on the day of the engagement."

"yes."

In the carriage.

Gu Zhiyan sat alone in the back row and took a last look at the community gate.

"Go back to the old house."

When Assistant Xu in the driver's seat heard the words "return to the old house", his facial features twisted instinctively.

Suddenly remembering something, he relaxed and stepped on the accelerator. The black Bentley rushed out like an arrow, looking as majestic as a general returning in triumph.

Unlike the Jian family's Western-style villa on the hillside, the Gu family's old house is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Beijing. It is an old courtyard complex passed down from the Gu family's ancestors.

After several renovations, it became the Gu family's current old house.

The car stopped at the gate of the Gu family's old house, and Assistant Xu got out and opened the door.

The gatekeeper had already opened the door to welcome him. Gu Zhiyan stepped out of the car and walked straight into the courtyard.

Assistant Xu went to the lounge to wait with lingering fear.

Crossing the screen wall and passing through the long corridor, we saw Old Lady Gu lying leisurely on the imperial concubine couch in the pavilion in the center of the lake, reading a book.

Hearing footsteps, she put down the antique magnifying glass in her hand and looked up.

Seeing that it was Gu Zhiyan, he leaned over to look behind him. His gray hair shone silver in the sunlight. "Assistant Xu didn't come?"

Gu Zhiyan glanced at her and sat down on a stool nearby. "Grandma is too enthusiastic. He doesn't dare."

In recent years, rumors that Gu Zhiyan likes men have been spreading like wildfire, and even Gu's family has tacitly accepted it.

Among them, the most obsessed is old lady Gu, who is obsessed with BL novels. She once regarded Assistant Xu as her future granddaughter-in-law, and her enthusiasm was frightening.

"Oh!" Mrs. Gu relaxed and continued to read her book. "Who am I doing this for? With your temper, if Assistant Xu doesn't want you anymore one day, you'll be crying."

Gu Zhiyan glanced over and the title of the book in Mrs. Gu's hand was particularly eye-catching.

【The little secretary's road to counterattack】

Gu Zhiyan: “…”

Because he has a fashionable grandmother, Gu Zhiyan is quite familiar with these messy terms and can't help but have a headache.

"Grandma, he's just my assistant, and he has a girlfriend, so please stop reading indecent books."

When Mrs. Gu heard that even Special Assistant Xu had a girlfriend, she looked devastated. "Special Assistant Xu is with you all day, and he has a girlfriend. When can you bring me someone?"

Even if it was a man, the Gu family would accept it.

“No need to find a partner.”

Mrs. Gu: “?”

Gu Zhiyan took a sip of the tea that the servant had just poured on the table and said, "I skipped the step of falling in love and prepared to get engaged."

I came back today specifically to inform my family.

Although the engagement is urgent, the necessary things must not be missing, and the betrothal gifts must be sent in advance.

Old Madam Gu stood up from the imperial couch without even noticing that the book in her hand had fallen. "Engagement?"

"With whom?"

"Can I get the certificate in China?"

"It's not Assistant Xu, could it be Pei Yi?"

Pei Yi is the only child of this generation of the Pei family in Beijing. The Pei family protects him like the apple of their eye. How could they let him marry into the Gu family?

Old lady Gu is worried.

Gu Zhiyan resisted the urge to hold his forehead, "It's a girl, the youngest daughter of the Jian family, Jian Yao, and she will be engaged in three days."

When Mrs. Gu heard that it was a woman, her first reaction was to pinch Gu Zhiyan and ask, "Does it hurt?"

Gu Zhiyan: “It hurts…”

Mrs. Gu stood up suddenly, "It's not a dream?"

There wasn't even a female mosquito around her grandson, and suddenly a huge daughter-in-law popped out?

"Do I really have a granddaughter-in-law?"

"When did you say we'd get engaged? Three days? Isn't that too soon?"

"Why don't you take it slow? The betrothal gifts haven't been prepared yet."

When she thought of the betrothal gift, Mrs. Gu suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

No, she had to go to the warehouse in person. She finally had a granddaughter-in-law and couldn't neglect her.

Gu Zhiyan watched his grandmother hurriedly leave the pavilion, laughed and shook his head, then looked down at his mobile phone.

The screen that lit up was still on Jian Yao's interface.

A cute cat avatar with only one message that pops up automatically when you add it.

Gu Zhiyan rubbed the two words "Jian Yao" in the note with his fingertips twice and curled his lips slightly.

In less than half a day, everyone in the Gu family knew that Gu Zhiyan was getting engaged.

The Gu family, who are usually busier than each other, sat in the living room of the main house, and there were more people coming than during Chinese New Year.

"Are you really going to get engaged?"

"Is it a girl?"

"Surname Jian?"

Why does it sound familiar?

The upper class circle in Beijing is not large, and there are even fewer people with the surname Jian.

Uncle Gu pondered, "The surname is Jian. In three days, could it be that she is the daughter of Jian's real estate?"

Although the Jian family is much inferior to the Gu family, the Gu family is also involved in real estate, and I have heard some news about the Jian family.

Uncle Gu's fourth uncle is in charge of real estate, so it's not surprising that he guessed Jian Yao's identity.

Gu Zhiyan nodded, "Yes, the second daughter of the Jian family, Jian Yao."

"Hiss..." Fourth Uncle Gu took a breath of cold air, "I remember that the marriage partner of the Jian family was not the boy from the Lu family? Did you steal his wife?"

Although the marriage has not been officially announced yet, it is no secret that the daughter of the Jian family has been following the boy of the Lu family all these years, and it is basically tacitly accepted.

The Gu family is not afraid of the Lu family, but it is a bit immoral to steal someone else's wife...
