Chapter 67 It’s time to experience what fatherly love is
Jiang Ruyun and Gu Yuntian naturally obeyed her in everything and nodded to show that they understood.
"Dad, Mom, you guys chat first. Yanjing and I haven't had breakfast yet. We're a little hungry, so we'll go to the restaurant for breakfast first." Li Zhi said again.
Gu Yunxia raised his chin slightly and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Li Zhi hummed, his eyes swept over Xie Tingzhou, then he controlled the electric wheelchair and took Li Yanjing towards the restaurant.
......
In the restaurant.
Li Yanjing looked at Li Zhi, who was leisurely drinking porridge across from him, and asked, "Why did you agree not to cancel the engagement?"
Li Zhi didn't answer his question, but asked, "Actually, you don't hate him, do you?"
Li Yanjing lowered his eyes, held the chopsticks in his hand, and said nothing.
Li Zhi picked up a steamed bun and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly. She said slowly, "You know him well. Even if I want to cancel the engagement, he will try every possible way to prevent it. I find it troublesome to deal with him."
"It's just an engagement anyway. It's up to me to decide whether we can get married or not."
Li Zhi paused and continued, "Actually, I think you can try to get in touch with him. Don't always think that you should resist him. Just follow your inner thoughts. You should also experience what fatherly love is."
Li Yanjing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he took her words in. He hummed softly, "I understand."
"Okay, don't think too much, let's eat." Li Zhi said.
Li Yanjing responded, holding the bowl and started eating obediently.
When the two were halfway through their meal, a tall figure appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Li Yanjing was sitting with his back to the camera. Noticing Li Zhi's gaze, he turned his head and looked behind him, only to see Xie Tingzhou walking towards them.
Li Yanjing curled up the hand holding the chopsticks, withdrew his gaze, and continued to drink the porridge in the bowl as if nothing had happened.
Li Zhi raised her beautiful eyebrows, as if nothing had happened in the living room just now, "Why are you here? Are you here to have breakfast?"
Xie Tingzhou walked over, pulled out a chair naturally, and sat down next to Li Zhi. He raised his thin lips slightly, and said in a low and lazy voice: "Is there any share for me?"
"If you want to eat it, we definitely have it." Li Zhi replied.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at Li Yanjing who was sitting opposite him and said slowly, "I won't eat today. I came to see you guys."
"Where are my parents?" Li Zhi asked, "Aren't you talking to them?"
"They asked me if I had eaten breakfast. If not, I should come and eat with you," said Xie Tingzhou.
Li Zhi understood that his parents wanted him to have more interaction with Li Yanjing and herself to develop a relationship.
She slowly withdrew her gaze and continued eating, saying leisurely, "Okay, then if you don't want to eat, just watch us eat."
Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything. He just stared at her quietly for a moment. Then, with a hint of indifference in his low voice, he slowly said, "Why didn't you tell them the truth?"
Li Zhi glanced at him sideways, "What truth?"
"It happened five years ago." Xie Tingzhou said.
Li Zhi finished the last bite of the bun in her hand and said, "There's nothing much to say. It's difficult to explain. It was just an accident anyway."
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling inexplicably upset. It turned out that he had overthought and misunderstood. He was not trying to defend the mistakes he had made. "So."
Li Zhi drank a mouthful of porridge from her bowl and looked at him with a half-smile, "What else do you think it is?"
"Nothing." Xie Tingzhou paused, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why don't you ask me why I changed my mind and didn't cancel the engagement?"
Li Zhi's voice was calm and clear. "What's there to ask? You just want to marry me, don't you?"
Xie Tingzhou's clear eyebrows and eyes moved, he hummed, and said nothing more.
......
The other side.
Aunt Zhang overheard that the eldest son of the Xie family was here to break off the engagement, and immediately ran upstairs to the door of Gu Yanran's room.
She wanted to knock on the door to wake her up, but then she remembered that Gu Yanran was in a bad mood, so she gave up and simply waited for her to wake up at the door.
After an unknown amount of time, there was finally movement from inside and the door of the room was opened from the inside.
When Gu Yanran opened the door, she saw someone standing outside and was startled.
Because she was told they looked alike last time, she hated Zhang Ma now and naturally wouldn't treat her well.
She frowned and said coldly, "What are you doing standing at the door of my room so early in the morning?"
Aunt Zhang folded her hands in front of her, lowered her head slightly, and said respectfully, "Miss, I have something to tell you."
Gu Yanran's expression softened slightly when she heard the word "young lady." She was sensible and raised her chin proudly. "What's the matter?"
Aunt Zhang raised her head and said, "Mr. Xie is here. I heard him say he's here to break off the engagement."
Gu Yanran was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then reacted and was very surprised, "Did you hear it right?"
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "No, Mr. Xie said it himself that he wanted to cancel the engagement."
Before, Gu Yanran would have been anxious when she heard the news.
However, Gu Yuntian and Jiang Ruyun had already decided to go to the Xie family today to discuss the cancellation of the engagement, so it was obviously hopeless for her to marry into the Xie family.
It’s just strange that Xie Tingzhou had no intention of canceling the engagement before, so why did he suddenly come here to cancel the engagement?
This is really a coincidence for both sides.
"Is he still here?" Gu Yanran asked.
Aunt Zhang shook her head. "I don't know about that. As soon as I heard about it, I came here immediately to wait for you to wake up, and then I told you the news as soon as possible."
Gu Yanran looked her up and down, her eyes moving slightly, "Auntie Zhang, did you call me the wrong name? I am not the eldest daughter of the Gu family now."
Aunt Zhang stated her position and attitude, and said with a smile, "Miss Yanran, I have watched you grow up. To me, you are the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Who is that Li Zhi?"
Gu Yanran originally wanted to find an opportunity to kick Zhang Ma out, but she didn't expect that there were still people in the family who were on her side. She suddenly felt that she could still make use of Zhang Ma.
After all, Aunt Zhang is the elder of the Gu family. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the housekeeper. She has a certain say in front of the servants in the house, big and small.
Now that she has lost the opportunity to marry into the Xie family, she can only consolidate her position in the Gu family and then find a way to drive Li Zhi and her son out. By then, she will still be the only eldest daughter of the Gu family.
Gu Yanran collected her thoughts and asked, "Then will you help me do whatever I ask you to do?"
"Miss, whatever you want to do, just tell me to do it." Aunt Zhang replied.
"From now on, please keep a close eye on Li Zhi and her son. If they show any abnormality, notify me immediately." Gu Yanran ordered.
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will keep a close eye on him for you."
Gu Yanran curled the corners of her lips in a good mood, then stepped past her and walked downstairs.
