July 20th, early morning.
The second day after Li Wei returned to China.
Imperial capital, Gu Garden.
At breakfast time, Gu Shiheng, who was sitting at the main seat, took a sip of bird's nest and chicken porridge, then put down the porcelain bowl with a frown on his face.
Liang Qiushi, who was standing next to him, saw this, put down his chopsticks and asked, "Brother Heng, is this not to your liking?"
Gu Shiheng clasped his hands on the table, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he looked at his wife: "Xiaoqiu, have you heard the rumors about Jinzhi's marriage?"
Liang Qiushi's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at his eldest son who was busy eating across from him, and his younger son and daughter who seemed unconcerned but had obviously slowed down their chewing speed.
The corners of her mouth moved, and her voice was steady: "It's just the Zhang family's groundless speculation, Brother Heng, don't take it to heart."
Gu Shiheng tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes fell on his wife's face, and paused for a few seconds.
After a moment, he asked in a gentle voice, "Sister Chunhua has been in seclusion for half a year, right?"
Liang Qiushi lowered his eyes, and the hand holding the soup bowl paused almost imperceptibly.
Thinking of her husband's inexplicable request for sex last night, her cheeks felt slightly hot and she felt a little relieved in her heart.
[He got suspicious? Luckily I changed it back in time, otherwise it would have been exposed last night.]
This family, old and young, is both shrewd and stubborn. If they knew what I was planning...
"Um..."
Liang Qiushi picked up his chopsticks again, picked up a small and delicate crab soup dumpling, and ate it slowly. "I hope my sister can successfully break through."
Gu Shiheng comforted her, "Sister Chunhua is extremely talented, and she has her father-in-law by her side to protect her, so you don't have to worry."
"Yeah." Liang Qiushi responded, but his brows did not look much relaxed.
......
Seeing that the children had almost finished eating, Gu Shiheng turned his gaze to Gu Jinwen and Gu Jinyi at the other end of the long table: "You two, go out first."
The brother and sister's faces immediately fell. They put down their bowls and chopsticks reluctantly and walked out of the restaurant looking back every few steps.
The door closed gently.
Gu Jinzhi, who had been thinking about something, raised his head and looked at his father with calm black eyes.
Gu Shiheng looked at his eldest son, who had made him proud for more than ten years. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "What do you think of Jiang Xue?"
"Brother Heng..." Liang Qiushi wanted to speak.
Gu Shiheng raised his hand to stop her: "Let Jinzhi speak."
"She..."
Gu Jinzhi's thoughts drifted away, thinking about the little girl who often came to Gu Garden and always followed him without saying a word or crying.
To be honest, I don’t have much impression.
Later, when he went to martial arts junior high school, he devoted himself to training, and the two of them rarely saw each other for a year.
Then came the sensational poisoning case...
At that time, many people felt sorry for him, saying that his grandfather was senile and had arranged such a fiancée for him.
Some people are waiting to see the joke, hoping that Jiang Xue, the troublemaker, can turn the Gu family upside down.
He himself didn't care, because he knew that he would not marry and was not qualified to marry before the threat from the Zhang family was resolved!
It seemed like everyone said that Jiang Xue loved him terribly.
Before yesterday, he had no sense of reality, until...
[You can even wake up laughing in the middle of the night while squatting in a bunker? I don't know if I love you or not, but you're actually quite funny.]
Gu Jinzhi's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up slightly.
"Grandpa's choice should be correct."
Liang Qiushi loosened his hands on his knees a little, but his face remained calm.
Gu Shiheng looked at his son and nodded after a while: "Bring her over in a couple of days. The wedding is approaching, you should spend some time together beforehand."
"Okay," Gu Jinzhi replied calmly, "I..."
"I've already made an appointment with my in-laws," Liang Qiushi interrupted, "I'll pick them up on the 25th. Jinzhi, just focus on your cultivation and don't worry about it."
Gu Jinzhi: “…”
Gu Shiheng nodded, agreeing to the arrangement, but his expression became more serious.
"Jinzhi, this marriage was arranged by your grandfather and your mother. I understand the old man's intentions. He just wanted to have a good start and give you something to think about. This way, when you encounter difficulties, you will always have a little more determination to live."
When he said this, he glanced at Liang Qiushi.
"But, your mother... I can't understand her thoughts."
Liang Qiushi's elegant swan neck stiffened and she looked at her husband in some surprise.
Gu Shiheng ignored her reaction and continued to say to his son: "No matter what she wants to do, you just need to remember that you are the man of the Gu family and you must be responsible."
"Yes, Dad." Gu Jinzhi nodded slightly.
-----------------
Fangcheng, Jiang family manor.
"Still no one answered." Tang Zhou put the phone aside, his face full of helplessness.
Jiang Yunshu frowned: "They can't find him and he's not answering the phone. What do they want to do?"
Jiang Yao huddled timidly in the corner of the sofa, her eyes red. "Sister...does she really hate me? She doesn't even come home..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Jiang Yunshu rubbed his temples, feeling very annoyed.
The Gu family will come to pick someone up in a few days. If I lose "Jiang Xue", how can I explain to Mrs. Gu?
Recently, they have been taking advantage of the Gu family a lot, and many things have been given to Yaoyao.
Especially the "Mingxin Tongqiao Pill" that temporarily improves one's understanding, it is a good thing that cannot be bought with money!
If the marriage fails, what will they use to pay it back?
Tang Zhou wasn't too anxious: "His fourth uncle told me that in a couple of days, the two kids will go to his place to watch the execution of Yuanguai. He will definitely not get lost, so don't worry."
