Soon all the elders of the Gu family gathered together.
The old man also made things clear, "Jiang Ranran is already pregnant with Tingchen's child. I hope to discuss this matter with everyone today and see when is the most appropriate date for them to get engaged."
The old man's words left no room for others to retreat.
After all, it was not easy for Jiang Ranran to raise three children alone in this society. The old man knew very well that he couldn't let Jiang Ranran suffer all the time. Moreover, the old man could see that Jiang Ranran was a good child, and he would have nothing to say about letting such a person marry into their Gu family.
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu stopped him and said, "Dad, you can't say that. We still need to discuss this matter with our family. Tingchen's marriage is so important to our Gu family that we can't make a decision so easily."
Before the other members of the Gu family came over, they had received the news that the old man had sent them, and knew that Jiang Ranran and Gu Tingchen had a child.
This matter seemed a little difficult to understand to them, and they knew nothing about the other details of the matter.
"Grandpa, why did this happen so suddenly? Is it true?" asked other people in the Gu family.
Although these people no longer have a say in the Gu family, they are still elders of the Gu family after all. They didn't even know about such a big thing as Gu Tingchen having a child until the child was five or six years old. How shameful.
The old man thought for a moment before saying, "It's difficult to explain all the twists and turns in this matter in a short time. What I want to tell you now is the marriage of these two children."
How could the other people in the Gu family be so easily deceived? After all, they have been veterans for decades. They knew what was going on just by blinking at each other.
Mrs. Gu herself was unwilling to let Gu Tingchen marry Jiang Ranran. If it weren't for the old man, she would not have let these elders come at all.
At this time, he finally found a chance to interrupt, "Actually, Jiang Ranran had Tingchen's child outside a few years ago and didn't come back to tell us. She gave birth to the child alone. What can we do now?"
Mrs. Gu's words were very skillful, and immediately caused the elders of the Gu family to misunderstand Jiang Ranran's character.
Someone immediately said, "We've seen a lot of girls like this. They got pregnant without even telling our family. Now that the baby is born, they're here to blackmail us, right?"
Previously, the scandal between Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran was widely circulated. Although it was suppressed by Gu Tingchen later, most of the elders in the Gu family knew about it.
Now, Jiang Ranran simply brought her three children to their Gu family. The elders of the Gu family couldn't help but suspect that Jiang Ranran did it on purpose.
The old man glanced at Mrs. Gu indifferently, and Mrs. Gu stopped talking.
"It's hard to explain what happened, but Jiang Ranran is not that kind of person. Besides, there is affection between the two children, so it's okay to help them get together." said the old man.
The old man did not tell anyone what happened that year. If he had told them, it would probably be another scandal for Jiang Ranran. Mrs. Gu seized on this point and dared to speak to the elders of the Gu family in this way.
"I knew Jiang Ranran before. Didn't she work in our Gu family? This girl is not simple. She didn't have any education, but she was able to gain a foothold in our Gu family. You can see how scheming she is." Another person said.
"Yes, old man, you have to be cautious. Even if Jiang Ranran is really pregnant with Tingchen's child, it doesn't mean that Tingchen has to marry her." Another person from the Gu family said.
Although Jiang Ranran is not a particularly flamboyant person, due to the previous relationship between Jiang Ranran and Gu Tingchen, the elders of the Gu family have some understanding of Jiang Ranran.
It’s just that everyone present here dislikes Jiang Ranran’s attitude.
In their opinion, Jiang Ranran is a scheming girl. In this society, scheming and beautiful girls are indeed very popular, and they can easily hook up with a rich boy.
But they didn't expect that the rich kid they were seduced with would be the only heir of their Gu family.
"Yes, old man, we must be cautious about this matter. If Jiang Ranran really gets married, there will be no peaceful days for our family." After hearing what others said, a person who had been silent also quickly agreed.
Mrs. Gu was delighted to see these people from the Gu family attacking Jiang Ranran here.
But after seeing the old man's face becoming increasingly worse, these people calmed down.
Now the old man is still the head of the Gu family, and the other people also have to look at the old man's mood to some extent.
After the scene was quiet, the old man said solemnly: "That's not the way it is. Before deciding on Jiang Ranran as my grandson's wife, I also conducted a thorough investigation. It may be because you all have misunderstandings about this child. After spending more time with her, you will naturally understand."
The people from the Gu family remained silent.
In particular, Mrs. Gu was extremely anxious and wished someone could disrupt the meeting as soon as possible, as if this would prevent Gu Tingchen from marrying Jiang Ranran.
"Since you have already made up your mind, why are you still discussing this with us?" Someone in the Gu family was dissatisfied.
Their status in the Gu family has never been high. Although they have the title of elder, it is no different from an empty position. As a result, now that the children are so grown up, the old man is discussing Gu Tingchen's marriage with them. Where does this put them?
The old man's expression was not good, but he was still very polite. "This matter happened suddenly, and there are so many twists and turns that I can't explain it to you. I asked you to come here this time because I want you to give me a definite answer. Are you willing to let Jiang Ranran marry into the Gu family?"
The elders of the Gu family also looked at each other, and no one spoke.
They knew about Jiang Ranran's previous scandal and were unwilling to let her marry in. But on the other hand, Jiang Ranran already had Gu Tingchen's child.
This is what makes them feel conflicted and they can't make a decision for a while.
Finally, someone said, "Old man, have you done a paternity test? In today's society, anything can be faked. You can't trust others."
Mrs. Gu's face changed. She knew that the child must be Gu Tingchen's biological child. Now that the child was mentioned, things might become difficult to handle.
"You don't have to worry about the child. I took the hair for identification myself, and the result showed that it is a descendant of our Gu family." said the old man.
It was precisely because it had been confirmed that the old man called these people over.
