Chapter 567 Love triangle?
"Good girl, good girl!" When the great grandfather heard Chen Ci's blessing, he was so happy that his teeth were not visible. "Gao Zhan always said that he had a girlfriend, but he never brought her back to show me. I thought he was just trying to fool an old man like me."
"Grandpa, Gao Zhan has high standards. No wonder he refused to be introduced to anyone before. Look at the girlfriend he brought back. She is both pretty and elegant." Someone on the side praised.
This sentence caused everyone at the table to echo it.
The great grandfather was so happy that he immediately called the nanny and said, "Go and pack a big red envelope. Gao Zhan has brought his girlfriend back, so we can't treat her badly."
Chen Ci was shocked when he heard this and quickly said, "Grandpa, today is your birthday, and it's only right that a junior like me should be here to congratulate you. How can I accept your red envelope? This is really unacceptable."
The old man puffed his beard and glared, saying stubbornly, "It's not the same thing. You are the first girlfriend our Gao Zhan has brought back. I know this girl best. He won't bring someone back unless he has decided on her. I liked you at first sight. You must accept this red envelope."
Shen Ci was about to say something, but Gao Zhan said softly, "Grandpa gave it to you, so just accept it."
Shen Ci turned her head to look at him and gave him a wink with her eyes.
Gao Zhan just smiled and ignored him.
The old man was happy: "That's right, I have to take it."
The nanny was quick and returned with a brand new red envelope. The old man stuffed it into Shen Ci's hand, patted her hand lovingly, and whispered, "Be good to Gao Zhan."
For an old man of his age, his inner expectation for the younger generation is that his children and grandchildren get married soon, and he would be even happier if he could have a great-grandchild.
But the great grandfather was very restrained and didn't even say something like "I hope to see you get married one day". He just said "Be happy with Gao Zhan".
Somehow, Shen Ci was suddenly moved.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. We will be fine. You should also take good care of yourself."
Gao Zhan looked at Chen Ci's profile from the side. He could feel the sincerity that Chen Ci expressed to his great grandfather at this moment, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her couldn't help but be coated with a layer of soft light.
"Gao Zhan, take good care of Ah Ci. There are a lot of people here today, so we can talk later."
Gao Zhan nodded and said, "Then let's go first, great grandfather. I'll come back later to toast you."
Taking Shen Ci back to the front yard, everyone of their generation had to sit in the front yard.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Shen Ci wanted to stuff the red envelope he received back to Gao Zhan.
"I can't have this. Put it away quickly and don't let anyone see it."
"This is given to you by your great grandfather. You can accept it. It's okay." Gao Zhan didn't take it. Instead, he held Shen Ci's hand and stuffed the red envelope back into her bag.
"I said I don't want any reward. We are lovers today, lovers for one day."
"I know, but this is not a reward." Gao Zhan looked at Chen Ci seriously: "You also said that we are a real couple today, so isn't it normal for my great grandfather to give my girlfriend a red envelope for meeting her?"
Shen Ci was speechless.
Gao Zhan's eyes lit up with a smile: "You were very good just now, thank you."
"Red envelope!"
Gao Min suddenly jumped out from nowhere and looked at Shen Ci excitedly: "Sister-in-law, did your great grandfather give you a red envelope?"
sister in law?
Shen Ci was completely unprepared to hear this address and blinked, not knowing how to respond.
Gao Zhan reminded her, "Minmin, don't call me sister-in-law. It's too early to call me sister-in-law."
Gao Min stuck out her tongue and said with an embarrassed look, "Then how should I scream?"
"Just call me sister."
"That's fine." Gao Min clasped her hands together in front of her chest and asked curiously, "Grandpa is very generous. Sister, please take a look at how much money he has."
"Isn't it a bit impolite to tear it down now?" Chen Ci looked at Gao Zhan hesitantly.
Gao Zhan probably understood his great grandfather's character. This red envelope would not be small. He was afraid that Shen Ci would open it on the spot and return it to him, so he followed Shen Ci's words and said, "Go back and open it."
Gao Min's mouth immediately drooped: "Ah? Boring..."
As she spoke, her eyes glanced towards the gate and suddenly lit up: "Sister Shishi!"
"Brother, you and Sister Shishi haven't seen each other for a long time, right? Let's go over and say hello!" Gao Min pulled Gao Zhan and was about to go over.
Gao Zhan pulled his hand back. Gao Min looked at him in surprise. Gao Zhan said calmly, "Go ahead. I have to take care of your sister Aci."
Normally, at this time, Shen Ci should definitely say something like "It's okay, go ahead."
But Chen Ci was smart enough to see at a glance that Gao Zhan didn't want to go, so she immediately took his hand and said, "This is my first time in such a large courtyard. Can you show me around?"
Gao Min didn't feel anything was wrong, instead he said nonchalantly: "Brother, then you take Sister Aci around, I'll go say hello to Sister Shishi."
After Gao Min ran away, Shen Ci asked, "Is there a story?"
She asked directly, and Gao Zhan didn't play dumb. He hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yeah, it's quite complicated."
"First love? Secret love?"
Gao Zhan shook his head: "Neither."
Shen Ci exhaled lightly, feeling that asking any more questions would be crossing the line, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Gao Zhan then took the initiative to say, "My brother likes her, but she likes me."
This result was something Shen Ci had not expected, a love triangle!
"Wait." Chen Ci seemed to have remembered something, looked at Gao Zhan puzzledly and asked, "In the message you sent me, you mentioned that your parents divorced when you were too young to remember. You have always called your father's current wife aunt. Is the brother you mentioned aunt's son?"
Gao Zhan nodded: "Yes."
Shen Ci exhaled in understanding: "That's quite embarrassing, so you don't have any feelings for that girl?"
She just took a look at the girl named Shishi from a distance and found that she was actually quite pretty.
"No." Gao Zhan said simply.
In this case, Shen Ci had nothing more to ask. He probably kept his distance deliberately out of consideration for his brother's feelings.
As it turned out, you can't escape the fate of the first day. After Chen Ci sat down at a table with Gao Zhan, Gao Min brought Liang Shishi to sit at the table as well.
"Sister Shishi, this is my brother's girlfriend, Sister Aci. What do you think? Pretty, right? I didn't lie to you!" As soon as Gao Min sat down, she excitedly introduced Shen Ci to Liang Shishi.
As a result, Liang Shishi did not look at Shen Ci. From the moment she saw Gao Zhan was there, her eyes had never left him.
"Gao Zhan, long time no see!"
She simply ignored Gao Min's words and greeted Gao Zhan first.
But Gao Zhan slowly turned his head to look at Chen Ci, and introduced her to her in a rare gentle tone: "Ah Ci, this is my good friend who I have played with since childhood, Liang Shishi."
