It would be fine if Gu Yibei had an older brother or a younger brother, but the key point is that the Gu family has only one son, Gu Yibei, which is very rare among the nobles. In other words, in the future, the Gu family can only be inherited by Gu Yibei.
The Gu family is an aristocratic family, and the most important thing for them is face and status. In order to consolidate the family's position, they usually choose to marry into a powerful family that is a rival to them, rather than marrying a commoner who has no family background and cannot even be called an "aristocrat".
Ji Zhinan summarized it in one sentence, but Gu Yibei still understood it.
He looked at Ji Zhinan, his eyes full of seriousness: "As long as I want someone, no one can stop me."
He is the master of his own life.
"Father is in good health now. He can easily live another thirty years. Don't overthink it. You are the one I have chosen."
Ji Zhinan didn't know what to say.
She knew that Gu Yibei meant every word he said.
But her background was unknown now, and she didn't know how to respond to him.
…………
The next day, Gu Yibei went out with his father early in the morning. It was said that there was something important going on.
Ever since he met Ji Zhinan, Gu Yibei has devoted all his time to China and has hardly taken care of Country Y. Now that he has finally come back, he naturally has to deal with those unfinished matters.
After Gu Yibei left, Ji Zhinan could only stay at home and talk with Mrs. Gu.
Ji Zhinan changed into a court dress with a very aristocratic style. She wore several layers inside and outside, which was very troublesome.
She put on some light makeup and curled her hair into small curls with a curling iron, which made her look much more elegant.
The maids serving Ji Zhinan were all amazed when they saw such a beautiful girl in front of them.
They praised it earnestly in English.
"Miss Ji is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
"I've long heard that Oriental women are the most charming, but seeing is believing."
"Miss Ji has a great figure, and your eyes are the most beautiful I've ever seen, even more beautiful than the blue eyes of those noble ladies."
"Although Miss Ji is not a noble, after dressing up carefully, she is no different from the noble ladies and princesses we have seen."
Ji Zhinan sat in his seat, looking at himself in the mirror, and his ears were filled with their praises.
There was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her coldness made people think that she was a cold beauty.
Madam Gu pushed open the door and came in. The maids immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Madam."
The moment she saw Ji Zhinan, Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up and she walked forward in high heels to hold Ji Zhinan's hand.
After carefully examining her for a long time, she nodded and praised, "My son has good taste. Nannan, I've seen many noble ladies and royal princesses wearing this kind of skirt, but you are the most elegant and beautiful I've ever seen!"
"You're too kind." Ji Zhinan said modestly.
She is not as good as Mrs. Gu said.
"I'm not exaggerating. Every word you said is true." Mrs. Gu said seriously.
She never lies.
"Several noble ladies will come for afternoon tea today. You and your aunt will go together." Mrs. Gu held Ji Zhinan's hand and refused to let go.
Having said that, Ji Zhinan could only nod: "Okay."
