Returning to the Space-Time Administration Bureau again, Shen Shuyi felt as if he was in another world.
System 66 clicked on the light screen and began to calculate the points of the previous mission world. "Host, there is an urgent mission with double points. Do you want to take it?"
Shen Shuyi looked at the increasing points, as if he was looking at a growing treasury.
"Let me find out first."
[It is a small world similar to the Republic of China. You are the eldest daughter of Tongchuntang, the largest pharmacy in Haicheng. You have a fiancé who studied abroad. Unfortunately, your father passed away near the wedding date and left a mess. Your aunt and illegitimate son are eyeing the family property. At the fiancé's welcoming party, you saw him bringing a female student home... Host, this is an urgent task. The main system will transfer you first. ]
Shen Shuyi nodded, “Okay, pass it on.”
[Great! Host, let’s gogogo! ! ! ]
Shen Shuyi's eyes went dark and then bright, and then he heard a male voice with a hint of excitement.
"Mom, this is Li Jinyuan whom I told you about. She was my classmate when I was studying abroad, and she is also my girlfriend."
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the original owner's fiancé Gu Yuanwen standing in the hall with a woman in a dress, and sitting at the head was Gu Yuanwen's mother.
Shen Shuyi glanced at their tightly clasped hands and said coldly, "We haven't even gotten married yet, and you've already prepared a concubine?"
Gu Yuanwen glanced at the woman in a wheelchair wearing a plain cheongsam and asked, "What concubine?"
"Kimono and I are both young people who have been baptized by modern culture and pursue democracy and freedom. How could she be someone's concubine?"
"Miss Shen, you and I are only in an arranged marriage by our parents. It would be better to cancel the engagement as soon as possible before we get married."
Li Jinyuan, who was holding his hand, looked at Gu Yuanwen tacitly, and then looked at Shen Shuyi who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Shen Shuyi noticed Li Jinyuan's gaze but ignored it, instead looking at Mrs. Gu who remained silent, "Aunt, what do you think?"
Mrs. Gu had long known about Li Jinyuan's existence from her son's letter. If Shen Shuyi's father had not died, and if the Shen family had not suddenly produced a bastard who could inherit the family business, she would certainly have stopped her son from breaking off the engagement.
But now Shen Shuyi not only lost her support, but also injured her legs. How could their Gu family, with its wealth and power, accept a daughter-in-law who was down and out and had a lame leg!
Mrs. Gu said sternly, "Yuanwen, you are too naughty."
"Shuyi's parents are no longer around. It's really inappropriate for you to do this."
After scolding her son a few words without any pain or itch, she looked at Shen Shuyi again.
"Shuyi, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Just be patient."
Chen Shuyi sneered, "Mrs. Gu, Gu Yuanwen and Miss Li are both new youths. They believe in monogamy, free love, and independent marriage. They don't worship heaven and earth or parents when they get married. All they need to do is ask the bishop to recite scriptures and sing hymns to congratulate them."
"It's not what you call having three wives and four concubines."
"That's right!" Gu Yuanwen looked at his fiancée, whom he hadn't seen for a long time and felt very strange, with rare admiration, "Jin Yuan and I will only be a couple for the rest of our lives."
"This marriage is called off."
"I wonder who dares to cancel this engagement!" At this moment, a deep male voice came in.
Shen Shuyi looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man who looked 50% similar to Gu Yuanwen walking in with an old man on crutches.
The person who spoke was Gu Yuanwen's grandfather Gu Qingren. Next to him was Gu Yuanwen's older brother Gu Yuanjing, who was also the current head of the Gu family and a business tycoon in Haicheng.
"Grandpa, you don't know how outstanding Jin Yuan is, she..."
"Shut up!" Gu Qingren glared at Gu Yuanwen, "How could our Gu family produce someone as ungrateful as you?"
Gu Yuanwen lowered his head, and Li Jinyuan held his hand tightly, sobbing slightly.
He raised his head when he heard the voice and spoke firmly.
"Grandpa, Jin Yuan and I have already held our wedding in a church abroad, and she is pregnant with my child..."
"Pa!" Before Gu Yuanwen could finish his words, he was slapped in the face.
Chen Shuyi suddenly saw Gu Yuanwen, who had been silent, striding forward, and raised his hand to give Gu Yuanwen a loud slap in the face.
The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an elegant businessman.
But Shen Shuyi saw the man’s cold eyes hidden under his glasses.
I only heard his deep and mellow voice, "Yuanwen, I sent you to study abroad because I wanted you to learn about foreign advanced science, technology and culture, but what have you done?"
Gu Yuanwen covered his swollen face and dared not say a word.
Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her youngest son and quickly stood up to smooth things over. "Yuanwen finally returned to China. Even if Yuanwen did something wrong, the girl is pregnant with our Gu family's child..."
Father Gu rushed back from outside and saw his youngest son kneeling in the hall as soon as he entered the room.
"Grandpa, Mom, Big Brother, things have come to this point, I can't let Jin Yuan down, I beg you to let me cancel the engagement."
"You! You evil creature!" Old Master Gu covered his chest with his hands and was almost fainted by Gu Yuanwen's anger.
"Father, calm down." Father Gu glared at his son and hurried to comfort the old man.
Shen Shuyi watched all this with cold eyes.
If it were the original owner, she would definitely step forward and express her condolences to Mr. Gu with great concern, but in the current situation, Shen Shuyi just wanted to cancel the engagement, and there was no need to deal with the Gu family so much.
Old Master Gu came over in one breath, and first waved to Shen Shuyi, “Don’t worry, Xiaoyi, we in the Gu family only recognize you as the young mistress!”
Shen Shuyi gently placed her hands on the wheelchair armrests, lowered her eyes and said, "Grandpa Gu, although my grandfather has passed away for many years, if he sees the situation today, he would not want me to marry into the Gu family, so it is not a bad idea to call off this marriage."
