Chapter 24: Get Engaged Directly
In the living room, Xia Haiwei and Qin Bilian were happy that the Gu family agreed to postpone the engagement banquet.
Hearing that Gu Weixu had returned, Qin Bilian remembered her daughter's words about not being able to date Gu Weixu, so she warmly mentioned, "My dear relatives, since the engagement party has been canceled for the time being, why don't we take advantage of this time to let Young Master Gu and our Yueyue spend more time together. It will also help them get along better."
Ana Shen forced a smile, “Okay.”
In fact, she didn't like Xia Haiwei's family very much.
First up was Xia Haiwei, who looked shrewd, but seemed to be constantly plotting something in his mind, a far cry from his elder brother's generosity and frankness.
Next was Qin Bilian. Before the Gu family officially announced Wei Xu's engagement with Xia Yueyue, she had already proudly spread the news while playing mahjong with those rich ladies outside. She also took the opportunity to get a lot of gifts from small companies that needed help from the Gu family.
Finally, there is their daughter Xia Yueyue, who is studying at the same Imperial Capital University as her daughter Chu Xin. She is very beautiful, but I heard that she has an arrogant and domineering personality. Chu Xin said that she doesn't like her very much and always compares her with Yaya, saying that her character is far worse than Sister Yaya's.
Is there any way?
Her husband Liangde was already grateful to Xia Haiming and wanted to marry into the Xia family. However, Xia Haiming's family had a car accident and everyone died. Liangde felt guilty and always wanted to do something for the Xia family.
In the end, it was decided not to cancel the engagement between the two families, but the engagement partner was changed to Xia Yueyue.
In fact, if her son had a girl he liked in his heart, Shen Jingting would not agree to let her son get engaged to Xia Yueyue. It's a pity that her son has never had a relationship for so long, which makes her anxious.
Let Xia Yueyue be Xia Yueyue.
"Young Master."
"Young Master."
From the front yard of the hall came the servants' greetings. After a while, footsteps were heard and Gu Weixu walked in from the door.
Shen Jingting turned her head and said softly, "Wei Xu is back..."
Who knew that before she could finish her words, after seeing the girl next to her son at the door, Shen Jingting was shocked and excitedly grabbed her husband beside her.
"Oh my god, Ryoutoku, what did I see!"
Gu Liangde was startled by his wife's sudden reaction, "What's wrong?"
Ana Shen covered her mouth and pointed forward with trembling fingers: "Look at our Weixu's hand...his hand actually touched a girl's hand! Am I dreaming!"
Gu Liangde narrowed his eyes and confirmed, "Jingting, you are not mistaken."
Shen Jingting was very relieved, "Our son has actually finally come to understand emotions. Hurry up, Weixu, bring the girl in for us to see."
Gu Weixu took Zhou Nanzhi's hand and walked into the living room.
Xia Haiwei and Qin Bilian felt a chill in their hearts. How could Xia Yaya be with Young Master Gu?!
Could it be...
Didn’t this little bitch say that as long as they agreed to voluntarily cancel their engagement with Gu Wei, she would not reveal her identity?
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Zhou Nanzhi followed Gu Weixu with a smile, and sat down next to Shen Jingting without even looking at Xia Haiwei and his wife.
Qin Bilian's face looked very ugly at this moment.
"Come here, little girl." Shen Jingting pulled Zhou Nanzhi's wrist and looked at her with a smile. "What's your name? And what's your relationship with our Weixu family?"
Zhou Nanzhi looked at the gentle middle-aged woman in front of him. Twelve years have passed, and the tenderness in her aunt's eyes has not diminished. It can be seen that Uncle Gu has doted on her as much as ever for decades.
Looking at Aunt Shen, Zhou Nanzhi couldn't help but think of his mother.
Zhou Nanzhi glanced at Gu Weixu and said with a sly smile, "Auntie, my name is Zhou Nanzhi. As for my relationship with Brother Weixu...Brother Weixu said he wanted to marry me."
Shen Jingting's eyes lit up, "Really?! Did you really say that?"
"Ahem." Gu Liangde coughed twice, hinting to his beloved wife that his son was still engaged to the Xia family.
Shen Jingting also reacted and calmed down. She secretly took her husband's hand and whispered, "Husband, is there someone you like? Then what about the engagement with Xia Yueyue? Why not cancel it instead of postponing the engagement party?"
Things were almost done, and this little girl actually showed up!
Gu Liangde nodded, "Okay."
He looked at Xia Haiwei and said, "Xia Haiwei, our Weixu's engagement partner has always been your eldest brother and sister-in-law's child, Yaya. Then Yaya disappeared for so long and has never been found. We must repay the favor. We see that your daughter Yueyue is about the same age as Yaya. Plus, our Weixu hasn't had a favorite girl in the past 23 years, so we're thinking of getting engaged to your Yueyue to cultivate their relationship. Maybe they'll even fall in love."
Changing the subject, Gu Liangde's eyes became extremely serious.
"However, Weixu has always disagreed with this marriage. Now that he has found a girl he likes, we as parents have no reason to force him, so let's forget about this engagement. Fortunately, the engagement party hasn't taken place yet, and our Gu family hasn't officially announced it yet."
Zhou Nanzhi leaned back in his chair and looked at Xia Haiwei opposite him with a half-smile.
Xia Haiwei clenched his fists and told himself to calm down. The girl just said her name was Zhou Nanzhi, which meant that she had not yet revealed her identity as Xia Yaya in front of the Gu family.
"...Since Young Master Gu has someone in his heart, we naturally won't force him." Xia Haiwei said with regret.
Eh? Shen Jingting and Gu Liangde were caught off guard. They had thought Xia Haiwei and his wife would never agree, but Xia Haiwei actually agreed!
"That's how it goes. Everyone is happy." Shen Jingting breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Nanzhi raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, then took out his cell phone, edited a text message and sent it out.
She didn't notice that her actions were clearly seen by Gu Weixu beside her.
Xia Haiwei felt his phone vibrate. He noticed Zhou Nanzhi looking at him, so he took out his phone and opened the text message.
[You guys go back first. Don't worry, I will definitely not reveal my identity to Uncle Gu and Aunt Shen now.]
Looking at the short line of text, Xia Haiwei put away his phone in humiliation and said with a forced smile: "Director Gu, Madam Shen, we have something to do at home, so we will leave first."
…
The living room became quiet, and Shen Jingting and Gu Liangde looked at Zhou Nanzhi together.
Noticing the burning gazes of the two people, Zhou Nanzhi paused.
Gu Liangde asked first, "Wei Xu, now we're the only ones left. Tell the truth, could it be that you deliberately brought this girl here to play a trick in order to cancel the engagement?"
Gu Weixu was calm and composed, "No."
Ana Shen's eyes were gentle, "If this isn't an act, then they are really in a relationship?"
Gu Weixu said: "Mom, I've brought the people back. What do you think the relationship is?"
Having never seen her son so active, Shen Jingting's eyes lit up, "...Is that so? When did you get together? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
Gu Weixu said calmly: "A month ago."
Zhou Nanzhi pursed her lips and smiled secretly. He must have included the time when she sneaked into the Gu family manor a month ago.
"One month... You only told me this after dating for so long. You're really keeping it a secret." Shen Jingting looked at Zhou Nanzhi carefully. Her facial features were actually very delicate, but her complexion was too bad. It was dark and sallow, and it was obvious that she was malnourished.
It turns out that my son doesn't like white, rich and beautiful girls, but actually likes this type of girl who is wild and simple.
Shen Jingting chuckled, "Wei Xu, you brought the girl home today, aren't you planning to get engaged right away?"
