He didn't stay at Gu's house for long and went back after saying that.
Old Master Gu sat in the hall for a long time, in a daze for a long time.
It wasn't until Mu Hanqing called him that he came back to his senses.
"What's the matter? You look distracted."
"I just found out something and I'm a little scared."
"What can scare you?"
"Du Zhong just came over and said that his girl has taken a fancy to Xiao Ye."
"What, what's going on?"
"And now that she knows Xiaoye is getting married, she's on a hunger strike at home, wanting to marry Xiaoye. Old man Du just came over and asked Xiaoye to come over and have a look to comfort her."
"Don't even think about it. Xiao Ye won't go back. As for his granddaughter, I don't even like her, even if it's for nothing."
"But she is the granddaughter of my comrade-in-arms after all. What do you think we should do about this?"
"What else can I do? Xiaoye will definitely not agree. Don't mess up Xiaoye and Shengbao's marriage because of your relationship with Du Zhong, or I won't forgive you."
"I know. That won't happen."
"Okay, I'll go check on my orchids. You stay here by yourself!"
Old Master Gu sat in the room drinking tea, watching Mu Hanqing fiddling with the pots of orchids that were said to be very expensive, and then thought about what to do.
Gu Ye came back during dinner, but he didn't bring Shen Yuesheng with him.
Mr. Gu coughed: "Ahem..."
"Xiao Ye, grandpa wants to discuss something with you, see if you can do it."
"Okay, Grandpa, you say."
Old Master Gu repeated what he had said to Mu Hanqing, and Gu Ye kept frowning.
After Mr. Gu finished speaking, “Grandpa, I don’t know how to play in the wild, and I don’t have the obligation to do so.”
Mr. Gu was choked: "Okay, I also think you don't have to agree. After all, this is none of your business."
The matter was considered over for the Gu family, but the Du family was still filled with gloom.
Du Juanhuan was determined to marry Gu Ye, and when she heard that Gu Ye was unwilling to see her, she even prepared to hurt herself.
When the Du family heard this, they were so angry that they immediately came to the Gu family again.
Old Mr. Gu saw that the people coming this time were actually a family, all dressed neatly.
"Brother Du, Xiaoye didn't agree to that last time, and I couldn't do anything about it."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Du Zhong before he could finish his words.
"Brother Gu, I really have no choice but to come here this time. I have an unreasonable request that is beyond your reach."
Mr. Gu complained in his heart, "If you want to force someone, don't say it," but he still said politely, "What's going on?"
Du Zhong was silent for a long time: "Brother Gu, can you let Gu go to our Huanhuan? Our Du family is willing to compensate that country girl, no matter what she wants."
When Mr. Gu heard this, his face turned unhappy.
"Brother Gu, we have no other choice. Huanhuan is on a hunger strike and is mutilating herself at home. She wants to marry Gu. I can't bear to watch her die. As long as Gu marries Huanhuan, it will be very simple."
Old Master Gu looked at Du Zhong with increasingly cold eyes: "What do you mean by letting Xiao Ye marry your granddaughter? What do you mean by you are willing to compensate? What do you think of my Xiao Ye's marriage?"
Du Zhong: "I have no choice. After all, the person that Gu is going to marry is a country girl, who is definitely not as good as our Du family. If Gu marries Huanhuan, he will have more help. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"Du Zhong, we have been friends for decades, and you can actually say such a thing."
Du Zhong: "Besides, our Huanhuan is not bad either. Can she not compare to that country girl? I'll beg you this time. Huanhuan is alive. As long as Gu is willing to marry her, my position can be left to him in the future."
Mr. Gu said: "I don't want it. You guys can go back. This is impossible. I won't use my grandson's happiness for the rest of his life to pay for you."
"You guys should figure out how to solve your own problems. There's no need for our two families to communicate anymore. You can go back now."
Du Zhong: "Brother Gu, isn't this a good thing for our families to achieve for each other? Besides, our Huanhuan likes you so much."
Old Master Gu: "But our Xiao Ye doesn't like your granddaughter, and he's getting married soon. You should ask someone else for help! We're sorry we can't do anything."
After saying this, Mr. Gu drove the man out: "What a joke, you're just daydreaming."
Mu Hanqing heard what was being said in the room, but she did not go out.
"In the future, don't hang out with the Du family. Our friendship has ended."
Old Master Gu: "Yeah, I didn't expect that his granddaughter would do anything to marry Xiao Ye!"
"Don't tell Xiaoye and the others about this, so as not to make Shengbao unhappy."
"I see. It's better for us two old men to be upset."
Gu Ye didn't know that the Du family had caused such a fuss. He was very happy every day and was about to have a wedding with his little girl.
But things don't end like this.
