Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "No, that's not what I meant."
She guessed that this must have touched the old man's sore spot.
After all, people of their age should be quite sensitive about their age.
Lu Shiyan nodded slightly, picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Qingcheng felt embarrassed and said.
"I'm going to help my aunt."
Little did he know that Lu Shiyan on the opposite side had the same idea.
"I'm going to see if my mom needs any help."
The two looked at each other in silence: ...
Such a tacit understanding, right?
Gu Qingcheng could only bite the bullet and ask, "So are you going to help, or should I go?"
Lu Shiyan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment and said, "We can go together."
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Nothing wrong.
Just like that, the two of them came to the kitchen together. The kitchen was originally quite large, but with three people crammed in, it instantly felt a bit crowded.
Mother Lu was just planning to show off her skills and cook a good meal, but too many people affected her performance, so she said, "Yan'er, Qingcheng, you two go to the living room to rest, I can do it alone."
Gu Qingcheng thought it was awkward to stay in the living room, so she came to the kitchen. Of course, she would not go back at this time.
"Auntie, it's okay. I'm used to doing the work. I'm a little uncomfortable if you ask me to stay in the living room."
Gu Qingcheng just made up an excuse, but Lu's mother heard hidden meaning from it. After her best friend passed away, Gu Guosheng married Wang Fenglan without saying a word, which was enough to show that this man was not a good person.
Those people in the Gu family are simply ruthless and heartless. As their fiancée, I must have suffered a lot in the Gu family!
That's why he is so sensible.
Thinking of this, Mother Lu's heart was deeply touched: "Child, you have suffered during your time at the Gu family."
Gu Qingcheng realized that this was the time to explain why he had not yet agreed to the marriage proposal, and hurriedly spoke.
"Auntie, compared to my mother, this little suffering is nothing."
"I have heard about you coming to propose marriage many times before, but Wang Fenglan rejected you every time for various reasons."
Mother Lu: "That's true. I'm worried about you. I went to the capital twice some time ago, but I didn't see you. Your stepmother said that you didn't want to fulfill the engagement and wanted to cancel the engagement. I didn't believe it and kept asking to see you. Even if you want to cancel the engagement, you have to explain everything to me face to face."
There are not many people like Lu's mother who can distinguish right from wrong and keep their promises. Gu Qingcheng also explained the reason clearly.
"That's all Wang Fenglan's nonsense. She doesn't want me to marry into the Lu family. Instead, she tries every means to ruin my reputation. Once my reputation is ruined, she will let Gu Yunyao marry into the Lu family in my place. Then Gu Yunyao will be her biological daughter."
"This is really too vicious!" Mother Lu didn't expect Wang Fenglan to be so shameless. "Isn't she afraid of retribution for doing this?"
When Wang Fenglan was mentioned, Gu Qingcheng's face darkened for a moment: "She will go to hell sooner or later."
Mother Lu sighed, held Gu Qingcheng's hand and said, "Good boy, you have had a hard time these years."
Gu Qingcheng: "Auntie, it's all over. I only found out about it afterwards. It turns out that you came to my house many times, but I didn't see you. I don't know your contact information, so I could only find my way to Jiang City through the address my mother left for me."
Lu Shiyan, who was standing by, listened to the whole story from beginning to end and breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it was.
He thought his fiancée really disliked his age.
He continued to help cut vegetables with a calm expression on his face.
Mother Lu pursed her lips and said, "Qingcheng, this matter cannot be let go like this. Auntie will definitely help you get back what you lost."
Gu Qingcheng felt warm in her heart: "Thank you, Auntie. I have my own plans in mind and will make them pay the price."
Lu Shiyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Just tell me if you need any help."
Gu Qingcheng: "Thank you."
She thanked him. To be honest, she didn't expect Lu Shiyan to be so proactive.
Based on her experience of having read thousands of novels, when she first met Lu Shiyan, she always felt that this person should have a cold personality, both in the way he treats people and things.
Even if I live with myself, it's probably the kind of feeling where we treat each other with respect.
Mother Lu laughed heartily: "Okay, I feel relieved now that you two are like this."
Gu Qingcheng's cheeks flushed, and she stood beside Lu's mother and said, "Auntie, I'll help you cut the vegetables."
Lu Shiyan: "I'll go wash the dishes."
In this way, a meal was prepared with the joint efforts of three people. Gu Qingcheng's cooking skills were very good, but she was a guest and she knew that she could not take the initiative, so she only helped Lu's mother.
During the trip, Lu Shiyan and Gu Qingcheng were alone for a while.
Lu Shiyan said: "We have an engagement, but before we fulfill the engagement, I have something I need to explain to you."
Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "What exactly is it?"
"I have two children."
