Chapter 61 Breaking off the Engagement
Gu Yanran pinched her hands, barely controlling the expression on her face, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I was inconsiderate..."
Gu Yuntian naturally wouldn't blame her for anything. He just thought she was just a little girl thinking about marrying Xie Tingzhou. "Okay, let's just let it go. Don't mention it again."
Gu Yanran lowered her eyelashes, suppressed the emotions in her eyes, and nodded, "I understand, Dad."
Gu Yuntian nodded and said nothing more.
Gu Yanran was feeling quite awkward now, and she wasn't in the mood to sit there any longer. She stood up from the sofa and said to Gu Yuntian and Jiang Ruyun, "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room first. You should get some rest too."
Jiang Ruyun nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Gu Yanran turned around and glanced at Li Zhi and her son on the other side, then walked around the sofa and left the living room.
Jiang Ruyun glanced at her leaving figure, then quickly retracted her gaze, her eyes landing on Li Zhi, and asked, "Zhizhi, do you still want to go outside for a walk in the breeze? Mom will accompany you?"
Li Zhi turned to look at her and nodded slightly, "Okay."
She paused, then looked at Li Yanjing who was sitting on Gu Yuntian's lap and said, "Yanjing, do you want to go out for a walk with us, or stay here and talk to grandpa?"
"I'm here with grandpa." Li Yanjing replied obediently.
Li Zhi nodded, and after Jiang Ruyun stood up and walked over, they walked outside together.
......
On the other side, the Xie family’s old house.
Huo Shu looked at the young man sitting opposite him with a look of surprise on his face. He said in disbelief, "Ting Zhou, what did you say? You want to break off your engagement with the Gu family?"
She originally wanted to wait for the Gu family to reply and confirm before telling Xie Tingzhou the good news, but she didn't expect to receive a notice from him that he wanted to cancel the engagement first.
Xie Tingzhou slowly put down his chopsticks and said, "Yes."
Xie Heng, Xie's father, frowned and said seriously, "Why do you want to cancel the engagement so suddenly?"
"I never took the engagement with the Gu family seriously. I even forgot about it. It's just that I suddenly remembered to cancel it now." Xie Tingzhou replied indifferently.
"You..." Huo Shu pressed his brows with a headache, "I just mentioned the engagement to the Gu family today. I wanted the two families to find time to have a meal and finalize the matter. But now you suddenly tell me that you want to cancel the engagement. How can I explain this to the Gu family? Why are you going back on your word?"
Xie Tingzhou's face was expressionless. "I'll go and explain. I'll go to the Gu family tomorrow to cancel the engagement."
Xie Heng knew his son's temperament very well. It was almost impossible for either him or Huo Shu to influence his decision. "Ting Zhou, have you really made up your mind?"
"Well, if you're embarrassed and don't want to show up, I'll go." Xie Tingzhou paused and continued, "Hasn't the Gu family always wanted that piece of land in the eastern suburbs? As compensation for breaking off the engagement, you can give it to the Gu family."
Seeing his firm attitude, Xie Heng said nothing more. He thought offering the land in the eastern suburbs as compensation was entirely sincere. "Alright, you decide for yourself."
Besides, the Xie family is already at the top of the circle, and there are many families that they can choose to marry into, and it is not necessary to marry into the Gu family.
It was just because the older generation had a good relationship that the engagement was made verbally.
Huo Shu sighed and waved his hands, then said to Xie Tingzhou, "Forget it, I can't control you. Go to Gu's house and talk to him tomorrow."
Xie Wang, who had been silently enjoying the show, suddenly said, "What if the Gu family doesn't accept the cancellation of the engagement?"
Xie Tingzhou's eyes fell on him, and he raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp, and said nonchalantly: "Why don't you come and marry her for me? It doesn't matter who you marry since I'm marrying her anyway. This way, I don't have to give away the land in the eastern suburbs, which saves a lot of trouble."
Xie Wang almost spit out the soup he had just drunk. He coughed lightly and chose to keep quiet.
Since his brother can say such words, he can definitely do such things.
"I think it's a good idea. It will prevent you, a bad boy, from being so unstable and running around all day. We should find someone to keep an eye on you." Huo Shu said.
“!!!”
Xie Wang's expression tightened, and he quickly said, "No, Mom, I really won't run away this time! I don't want to marry that Miss Gu. I even forgot what she looks like or what her name is. Please let me go."
Huo Shu was just joking about what Xie Tingzhou said, "Okay, let's eat quickly."
Xie Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and almost thought she was serious. He responded and continued eating.
He had been thinking of going to the Gu family with Xie Tingzhou tomorrow to cancel the engagement, but he was afraid that the Gu family would not agree. If that happened, his brother would also go crazy and push him out and make him marry the young lady of the Gu family, just as he had just said. Then he would have nowhere to appeal.
So he decided to sleep at home tomorrow and nothing would happen.
......
Li Zhi didn't start broadcasting during the day, so after she and Jiang Ruyun came back from a walk outside and rested in the room for a while, she started broadcasting directly.
Just a few seconds after the broadcast started, a group of people quickly flocked into the live broadcast room.
Just like before, Zhou Xian and Pei Yuanzhi immediately played several carnivals.
Just when others were discussing whether the user 1957004522642 who had rushed to play dozens of carnivals yesterday would come today.
The next second, the carnival gift special effects appeared on the public screen again.
User 1957004522642 sent Carnival x3
【Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.】
[That's not right. Is there a missing 0 after the 3? ]
[Could it be that I swiped too much yesterday and emptied my account?]
I thought we'd see another epic battle for the top spot today, using Carnival as a platform. But it's all over, my digital brother.
Li Zhi was still thinking about collecting a hundred or so Carnivals today, so it seemed like she still had to be careful. "Thanks to Big Orange, Yuanzhi, and 642 for sending the Carnivals."
"Okay, today's first one, is there one?"
I have been handsome since I was young and sent Note No. 1 x1
Li Zhi looked at the big radish rising on the phone screen, and immediately raised her hand to send him a video call request.
"Hello, Master Li."
Li Zhi nodded slightly, "Hello, what do you want to calculate?"
Handsome since childhood shook his head and replied: "Master Li, I don't tell fortunes. My uncle has something wrong and I want you to help me."
"What happened to your uncle?" Li Zhi asked.
"I work with my uncle as an excavator driver on a construction site. A few days ago, I went with other workers to demolish an area of abandoned houses that had already been vacated. The conditions on the construction site were very poor, so we set up tents and slept there at night."
"That night, my uncle, some of my coworkers and I had a few beers before going to bed."
