"Then let's cancel the engagement party for now!" Gu Shushu replied after thinking for a while.
Seeing that Gu Shushu was really going to cancel the engagement, Ji Lang started to get anxious.
Although he didn't like Gu Shushu that much, if Gu Shushu wanted to cancel the engagement, where would Master Ji's face be?
Ji Lang was panicked and started to talk nonsense: "You said to cancel it, so cancel it. This is the engagement between the Ji family and the Gu family. How can you, as a junior, butt in on it?"
"You are the one who has the least say here." Old Master Ji slammed the table and said with full energy.
Grandma Ji did not tolerate Ji Lang's bad temper and directly taught him, "You were the one who was late today. It is natural for Shushu to break off the engagement. What qualifications do you have to blame Shushu? The one you feel most sorry for is Shushu, and you still act like you have no remorse."
Ji's father and mother also echoed, "Xiao Lang, apologize to Shushu quickly. You were the one who made the mistake today, and you are still so confident in blaming Shushu. We are all ashamed of you."
Ji Lang lowered his head and couldn't say a word. He really couldn't bring himself to apologize.
He didn't know why. They were obviously his parents, grandparents, but all of a sudden everyone was speaking to Shushu.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt. Please don't make things difficult for Ji Lang. I have no feelings for him, so I won't resent him. He just made a choice between the person he likes and me today. Didn't I also choose A'wei between him and A'wei today?"
Gu Shushu seemed to be very "sensible" and helped Ji Lang explain to the elders. In fact, Gu Shushu meant to let Ji Lang see himself clearly, and she was never nice to Ji Yu because of him.
Hearing Ji Yu's name, the elders looked at each other tacitly.
Mother Ji and Grandma Ji whispered.
"Mom! Shushu has taken care of Xiaoyu for so long, we should be grateful. We can't push such a good child like Shushu into the fire pit! This makes me feel uneasy!"
"Yes! Yes! If Shushu likes Xiaoyu, that's fine. If she doesn't like Xiaoyu, we can't force her. After all, Xiaoyu didn't even finish elementary school, and Shushu is beautiful, well-educated, and filial. Xiaoyu is marrying above her station!"
During the few minutes that the two of them whispered, they kept belittling Ji Yu and felt from the bottom of their hearts that Ji Yu was not worthy of Shu Shu at all.
Grandpa Ji already felt indebted to Ji Yu, so if he could find a granddaughter-in-law as good as Shushu, he would feel a little more at ease.
Grandpa Ji was about to make a suggestion: "Then let's change..."
Before she could finish her words, Grandma Ji interrupted her: "Then let Shushu decide everything. If Shushu meets someone she likes in the future, just bring him back to us. We will personally check him out."
Gu's father and mother didn't have much objection. They came here today just to go through the motions. After all, the Gu family was at fault today, so they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Old woman, why did you interrupt me just now! It would be great if Shushu could be promised to A'yu! The best of both worlds!" Old Master Ji said in a low voice.
"You are stupid! If the two children don't have this intention towards each other, aren't we pushing the children into the fire? Shushu is such a good girl, and she is so devoted to our family, we can't harm her!" Grandma Ji explained in a low voice in Grandpa Ji's ear.
Grandma Ji and Ji's mother are the two most sensible people in the family. People should be grateful and repay kindness. If Shushu is interested, they will naturally be happy to see it happen. If Shushu is not interested, they can't repay kindness with hatred and harm Shushu.
Grandpa Ji and Father Ji both thought it was a good idea to change the engagement to Ji Yu, but since the old lady slammed the table, they didn't dare to object.
Ji Shugui had the same idea as the old lady. This matter depended on Shushu's attitude. After all, this was Shushu's future life, and she didn't dare to make a decision easily.
"Then Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji, this is what we have settled on! Cancel the engagement for now! But I will still take good care of A-Yu." Gu Shushu said.
Ji Lang looked at those people and saw that they gave up the marriage so easily without asking for his opinion at all.
A trace of pain flashed across Ji Lang's eyes: "Gu Shushu, I won't see Zhiyi anymore. Can you please not cancel today's wedding?"
Everyone was also shocked when they heard Ji Lang’s words. After all, even the Ji family had never seen Ji Lang lower his head!
But when Gu Shushu heard his words, she just found it funny.
Could it be that he was really so self-indulgent as to think that he agreed to break off the engagement because of Gu Zhiyi? In fact, it was not the case. Gu Shushu chose to break off the engagement only because Ji Yu woke up, and she did not need to marry Ji Lang to obtain custody of Ji Yu.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in that little thing between you and Gu Zhiyi. The reason I broke off the engagement was not because of Gu Zhiyi." Gu Shushu explained seriously.
"I don't believe it. They all said that you loved me deeply... It was obvious that you proposed to cancel the engagement out of jealousy..." Ji Lang slumped in the chair, trying to numb himself with these explanations.
"Aunt, I'm going upstairs to see Ji Yu first." Gu Shushu really couldn't stay here any longer, so she quickly found an excuse to slip away.
"Okay, go ahead!" Seeing that she was getting close to Ji Yu, Ji's mother was also happy.
