Chapter 68 He Doesn’t Even Want to Play with You
When I came to the living room downstairs, I saw that only Jiang Ruyun and Gu Yuntian were sitting on the sofa.
Gu Yanran thought that Xie Tingzhou had left, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes. She thought she could see him again after such a long time.
Just as she was about to walk over, she heard Jiang Ruyun say:
"Everyone is really happy now. The Xie family will definitely be happy when they find out. I just hope Zhizhi and her husband can get married soon."
Gu Yuntian took a sip of tea and nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Ruyun wanted to say something else, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of Gu Yanran from the corner of her eye and asked softly, "Hey, Yanran, what are you doing standing there?"
Gu Yanran smiled and walked towards them, "I was just coming over."
She paused, thinking about what Jiang Ruyun said. Before she understood what she meant, she asked, "Mom, what were you talking about just now? What about everyone being happy? What about the Xie family being happy to know? Who are you hoping my sister will marry soon?"
Jiang Ruyun thought that Li Zhi only said not to disclose Li Yanjing's background for the time being, and that it was also to stop her from thinking about Xie Tingzhou, so she smiled and said, "It's like this, your brother Tingzhou wants to marry your sister."
Gu Yanran was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, her brows full of disbelief. For a moment, she suspected that she had misheard and blurted out subconsciously, "Didn't Brother Tingzhou come here to cancel the engagement?!"
"Huh?" Jiang Ruyun was a little surprised. "How do you know this? Didn't you just go downstairs?"
Gu Yanran's eyes flickered. "Oh, when I came down, I happened to run into Aunt Zhang cleaning upstairs, and she mentioned it to me."
Jiang Ruyun nodded, "So that's how it is."
When they sat down to talk, they didn't ask the servants to leave, so it was normal for someone who happened to pass by to hear it.
The main reason was that they didn't expect Xie Tingzhou to come and cancel the engagement, and they didn't think too much about it at the moment.
Gu Yanran was anxious. How could things develop in a direction she had never expected? "Dad, Mom, what is going on?"
"Zhizhi happened to be here at that time, so we let them get to know each other. After Tingzhou found out that the engagement was with Zhizhi, he suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to cancel the engagement." Jiang Ruyun explained concisely.
Gu Yanran bit her lip. Could it be that Xie Tingzhou was bewitched by Li Zhi's coquettish look?
Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason.
Gu Yanran suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does Brother Tingzhou know that I have a child?"
Jiang Ruyun nodded, "I know, he said he doesn't mind."
Gu Yanran's breathing stagnated, and she dug her fingernails into her palms, trying hard to control the expression on her face.
Is Xie Tingzhou crazy? There are many beautiful women out there, but he actually wants a divorced slut with children!
"But even if Brother Tingzhou doesn't mind, will the Xie family agree..." Gu Yanran said slowly.
"We will try to persuade Tingzhou, so there shouldn't be any problem." Jiang Ruyun replied.
Gu Yanran's eyelids twitched. What do you mean there shouldn't be any problem?
She didn't believe that a family like the Xie family would want a slut, and she guessed that Xie Tingzhou was just playing around with Li Zhi.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanran felt better. She pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, pretending to be happy and said, "That's great."
She paused, looked around, and asked, "By the way, where's my sister? Why can't I see her?"
"I went to the restaurant to have breakfast." Jiang Ruyun replied.
Gu Yanran stood up from the sofa and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll go have breakfast too."
Jiang Ruyun thought that Xie Tingzhou was also there. If she went over now, it would disturb the three of them from cultivating their relationship. Moreover, she knew that Gu Yanran liked Xie Tingzhou, and she would be sad if she saw him now. She suggested, "Yanran, why don't you go over later, or have someone bring breakfast over and you can eat here."
Gu Yanran paused and asked curiously, "Why?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.
Seeing that Jiang Ruyun seemed to be looking past her and looking behind her, she turned her head and followed her gaze, and saw the figure that had been haunting her dreams appear before her.
Her eyes lit up subconsciously, and she couldn't help but raise her foot and walked towards the man, saying in a delicate voice: "Brother Tingzhou!"
Xie Tingzhou didn't respond, but just glanced at her calmly, keeping his distance from her. "Uncle, Auntie, I'll be going back first. Zhizhi and the others will be done eating soon."
Gu Yuntian stood up and nodded, "Okay, come and play often when you have nothing to do."
Xie Tingzhou was naturally very happy now, after all, the person he wanted to see was here, "Okay."
Gu Yanran looked at his back as he left, and her joy was instantly extinguished.
Now she finally understood why Jiang Ruyun didn't let her go to the restaurant. It turned out that she was afraid that she would disturb him and Li Zhi.
As expected, once my biological child came back, I became nothing.
Gu Yanran took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, turned around, and said as if nothing had happened, "Mom, can I go to the restaurant for breakfast now?"
Jiang Ruyun explained, "Yanran, Mom wanted Tingzhou to have more contact with your sister, so she asked you to go to the restaurant later. The most important thing is..."
Gu Yanran smiled and interrupted what she was about to say, "Mom, you don't have to explain, I understand."
Seeing that she understood, Jiang Ruyun didn't say anything more and nodded, "I'm glad you understand. I was afraid you were thinking too much."
"How could that be?" Gu Yanran said hello to her and Gu Yuntian, then turned and walked towards the restaurant.
As soon as she reached the door of the restaurant, she ran into Li Zhi who was coming out.
Gu Yanran tightened her hands at her side, "Congratulations, sister."
Li Zhi raised an eyebrow, "Congratulations to me on what?"
"Of course, congratulations, sister, on marrying Brother Tingzhou." Gu Yanran said.
Li Zhi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't forget to invite you to the wedding."
Gu Yanran raised her eyelids and looked at her smug and provocative face. She finally couldn't hold it anymore and stopped pretending.
She scoffed, glanced at Li Yanjing standing next to her, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her lips, "Sister, you don't really think the Xie family will let you marry, do you?"
"Why not?" Li Zhi asked leisurely.
Gu Yanran bent down, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Why would the Xie family let a slut like you into the family? Do you think you have lost your dignity?"
She paused and continued, "Brother Tingzhou was just joking with you, but you took it seriously."
Li Zhi's face was indifferent, and she said in a casual voice, "Really? Then you're a failure. He doesn't even want to play with you. If you have time to talk nonsense with me, you might as well take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you look like."
