Chapter 65 I Want to Marry Li Zhi
The next day.
Jiang Ruyun and Gu Yuntian were just about to go to the Xie family to cancel the engagement when they saw the maid leading people in from outside.
When they saw the young man following behind the maid, the couple's eyes flashed with surprise at the same time. They obviously didn't expect Xie Tingzhou to come.
Xie Tingzhou walked up to the two of them and stopped, "Uncle, Auntie."
Gu Yuntian nodded in response.
Jiang Ruyun collected her thoughts and quickly said with a smile, "Hey, Tingzhou, it's been a long time since we last saw you."
Speaking of which, this was Xie Tingzhou's first time visiting the Gu family. He seldom attended banquets, so the number of times he met them was naturally very few.
Gu Yuntian noticed the documents in his hand and thought he was here to discuss business matters. He raised his hand and pointed to the sofa, "Stop the boat, let's sit down and talk."
Xie Tingzhou nodded, followed him, and walked to the sofa and sat down.
Jiang Ruyun gestured to the maid waiting nearby to make tea, then she walked over and sat down.
Xie Tingzhou didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose, "I came here today to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with you."
Gu Yuntian was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted and subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruyun. He never expected that both families wanted to cancel the engagement, and coincidentally on the same day.
Xie Tingzhou placed the document in his hand on the coffee table, pushed it towards him, and said, "This is the transfer document for the land in the eastern suburbs. I know that Uncle Gu has always wanted it. This is also our Xie family's compensation for the broken engagement."
Gu Yuntian lowered his eyes and glanced at the document pushed in front of him, his eyes moved slightly. If that was the case, then not only did he not have to go to the Xie family in person to take the initiative to cancel the engagement, he could also take advantage of the situation to get the piece of land in the eastern suburbs. This was obviously the best thing.
But if he just pretended to be ignorant and accepted it, he would feel guilty, after all, he also wanted to cancel the engagement.
Gu Yuntian collected his thoughts and asked, "Ting Zhou, what happened? Why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagement?"
"Yes, your mother told me yesterday that she wanted to finalize the marriage, why is it today..." Jiang Ruyun said.
Just as Xie Tingzhou was about to say something, he suddenly heard the voice of a maid greeting someone, "Miss, Young Master."
He raised his eyes and glanced casually in the direction of the sound, but his gaze suddenly stopped and he couldn't look away.
Xie Tingzhou looked at the two figures, one big and one small, his deep eyes filled with deep surprise. He obviously didn't expect that Li Zhi and her son would appear here.
Young Miss, Young Master?
Xie Tingzhou frowned slightly. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Isn’t Gu Yanran the only eldest daughter in the Gu family?
When did there become two more?
Gu Yuntian and Jiang Ruyun also looked over there when they heard the sound, but they didn't expect that Li Zhi and her son would come downstairs at this time.
Li Zhi went downstairs to have breakfast. On her way to the dining room, she had to pass through the living room, so naturally she saw the three people sitting on the sofa not far away.
Originally, she wanted to take Li Yanjing and walk over silently, but she saw a maid coming towards her with tea and greeted her.
Li Zhi collected her thoughts and met Xie Tingzhou's surprised gaze. She raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to pretend she didn't know him and continue to the restaurant. The next second, she heard Xie Tingzhou ask:
"Uncle, aunt, what is this?"
Gu Yuntian originally wanted to hold a family reunion banquet to announce Li Zhi's identity to the public. Now, facing Xie Tingzhou's inquiry, he naturally had to introduce her to him first.
He raised his hand and beckoned towards Li Zhi, "Zhizhi, come here, I'll introduce you."
In this situation, Li Zhi couldn't refuse, so she had to control the electric wheelchair and take Li Yanjing towards them.
Gu Yuntian waited until she came to his side, then retracted his gaze and returned it to Xie Tingzhou. He introduced them, "Tingzhou, this is my daughter Li Zhi and my grandson Li Yanjing."
He looked at Li Zhi again, "Zhizhi, this is the eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Tingzhou."
Xie Tingzhou didn't think about the biological aspect for a moment, "Is this recognition?"
Gu Yuntian shook his hand and explained, "Lizhi is my biological daughter. She has been living away from home since she was young, and I only found her recently."
The surprise in Xie Tingzhou's eyes reappeared, but it disappeared in a flash. Now he finally understood why Li Zhi suddenly asked Pei Yuanzhi about his engagement that day.
"So is this engagement between her and me or someone else?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Yuntian decided to tell everything to avoid unnecessary conflicts later.
"Zhizhi and Yanran were mistakenly taken away at the hospital, so this engagement is between you and Zhizhi. However, Zhizhi was married before and has a child, so she definitely cannot marry into your Xie family under this circumstance."
He paused, glanced at Jiang Ruyun who was sitting next to him, and continued, "Your aunt and I were just about to go to your house to discuss breaking off the engagement, but I didn't expect you to come over first and mention breaking off the engagement. Now our two sides have coincided."
Xie Tingzhou's eyelids twitched. He knew that the engagement he had broken off was with Li Zhi, and he felt a little complicated.
But fortunately, I came here in person today, otherwise I don’t know when I would know about her relationship with the Gu family.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at Li Zhi, his eyes moving slightly. He knew clearly that it was an engagement with him, but he didn't mention it at all. Didn't he want to marry him?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Yuntian couldn't guess what he was thinking. He reached out and pushed the transfer document in front of him back, and spoke again: "Tingzhou, you should take this transfer document back. After all, we were going to cancel the engagement originally. Now it's like no one owes anyone anything, so there's no compensation."
"Sorry, Uncle Gu, I've changed my mind. I won't withdraw from this marriage." Xie Tingzhou pushed the document back again. "This piece of land is part of the betrothal gift. I want to marry Li Zhi."
Li Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, and her eyes asked him what he wanted to do.
Xie Tingzhou naturally received her gaze, but pretended not to see it.
Gu Yuntian was completely stunned when he heard his words. He didn't know what he was doing for a moment, "Ting Zhou, you..."
Jiang Ruyun was the first to react. She was quite receptive and guessed that Xie Tingzhou might have fallen in love with Li Zhi at first sight.
Knowing that the person he was going to marry was Li Zhi, he immediately changed his mind about canceling the engagement.
In this case, it would be perfect for Li Zhi to marry into the Xie family, which would be the best of both worlds.
Jiang Ruyun looked at her daughter and said, "Tingzhou, do you mind that Zhizhi is divorced and has children?"
"I don't mind." Xie Tingzhou raised the corner of his lip, and his half-smiley gaze fell on Li Yanjing. He said slowly, "Come to think of it, this child looks quite like me. It seems like it's fate."
