Chapter 210 A noble lady with royal blood?
Gu Qingshi got busy as soon as he returned to Mingchang County. While he was busy, he also saw Bai Zhen and Duan Lingling who were pregnant. The scars on their faces had improved a lot, but not completely.
She met them because they came to see Gu Qingshi specifically, but Gu Qingshi didn't talk to them. She felt sick when she thought about whose child Bai Zhen was carrying, and she thought even a single word was too much.
I was too lazy to see Bai Zhen, but I still heard news about them from time to time. For example, Bai Xue told Gu Qingshi today, "Duan Renjie is getting engaged to a foreigner with yellow hair. Everyone in the county knows about them."
Gu Qingshi was very surprised, "Duan Renjie?" Didn't he and Bai Zhen already have that kind of relationship? Why did he find a foreign woman to get engaged?
However, Gu Qingshi reacted quickly. Yes, their shameful relationship could not be made public. It was just strange that Bai Zhen could endure it. Could it be that she asked her for help before?
Facts have proved that Gu Qingshi still underestimated Bai Zhen's broad-mindedness. When Bai Zhen came to Gu Qingshi, she actually just wanted to invite her back to attend the engagement party.
Regardless of her previous reputation, Bai Zhen still acted like a good stepmother to the outside world, arranging a marriage for her son Duan Renjie and was very fond of this foreign daughter-in-law.
After trying every possible way to stop Gu Qingshi, Bai Zhen said earnestly, "Qingshi, Renjie now knows investors and has such a good opportunity. He will not have any intentions towards you in the future. Now that you are back, why not attend Renjie's engagement party? You can also meet some foreign investors. This is also your chance."
Gu Qingshi looked at Bai Zhen's bulging belly and couldn't help but ask, "Are you so happy that Duan Renjie is engaged? Can you accept it?"
Bai Zhen didn't know that Gu Qingshi had already discovered her secret. She thought he was asking if she could accept a foreign wife. She swallowed the bitterness in her heart and nodded, "Of course I'm happy. Although I don't understand what she said, I'm already working hard to learn foreign languages."
Bai Zhen showed an expression of pride, "Qingshi, I haven't told you yet, this foreign daughter-in-law Juliet is the daughter of a good family, and a relative of the royal family. She has the blood of the royal family of their country, a real noble lady."
"If this happened in ancient times, your brother would have married a royal relative. This would bring honor to the family and great success. The bloodline of the Duan family will be even more noble in the future. So Qingshi, you must come back and get to know them better. This is a rare opportunity. If you can get investment, it will be even more amazing in the future."
This is also the biggest reason why Bai Zhen finally compromised and allowed Duan Renjie to fall in love and even get engaged and married.
Bai Zhen remembered Duan Renjie's instructions, and mentioned many advantages, and insisted that Gu Qingshi go to the engagement banquet.
Gu Qingshi just wanted to laugh when he heard this. Duan Renjie could meet an investment businessman? And he was of royal blood? Funny, right? Foreigners may not speak the language, but they are not stupid. How could an investment businessman or a noble lady be interested in Duan Renjie?
She was so speechless after listening to Bai Zhen's bragging that she didn't know what to say.
Bai Zhen thought that Gu Qingshi was moved, so she took out the invitation from her bag and put it down. "I put the invitation down for you. You must come when the time comes. I'll be leaving now. Bye."
After saying "bye", Bai Zhen even smiled, feeling happy that he could speak a foreign language.
After Bai Zhen left, Bai Xue came out to look at the invitation, "Sister, is this true? Someone like Duan Renjie?"
“I don’t know.”
Bai Xue frowned, "But everyone in the county has seen Duan Renjie with a blonde foreign woman." There had never been any foreigners in Mingchang County before, and the sudden appearance of one or two of them was not very attractive, so half of the county's people ran over to see them to see the novelty.
According to the guests of Gu's Kitchen, Duan Renjie had been hanging out with the foreign woman for a while and had also been to Gu's Kitchen. It was said that the foreign woman liked the food at Gu's Kitchen.
When Duan Renjie brought her here, he seemed like a different person. He wore a suit and knew to pull out a chair for the woman. He never refused to pay the bill and always paid for the food he ate.
The investment businessman also went to Gu's Kitchen for dinner. He was said to be a young man. Everyone said that Duan Renjie had become rich now by hooking up with foreigners.
Regardless of whether Duan Renjie became rich or not, Gu Qingshi was not interested. She threw the invitation into the trash can and had no intention of going at all.
Bai Zhen returned to the Duan family. As soon as she entered, Duan Renjie asked, "How is it? Will Gu Qingshi come?"
"I don't know, but I gave her the invitation and she didn't say she couldn't come."
"That's good." Duan Renjie breathed a sigh of relief. "There can't be any mistakes in this matter. We have to let her go to the wedding banquet no matter what."
Seeing the smile on Duan Renjie's face, Bai Zhen felt a little sour, "Are you so happy?"
Duan Renjie paused, "Isn't it because I think our life will get better and better in the future?" Then he touched Bai Zhen's belly, "Isn't it, my dear son?"
Bai Zhen smiled when he heard it, "He moves when you touch him. He likes you very much."
Duan Renjie accidentally saved a foreign investor and won his favor. The man was very grateful and admired him. Even the blonde foreign lady Juliet who was traveling with the investor fell in love with Duan Renjie at first sight and wanted to date him, but Bai Zhen still couldn't accept it.
But later, Duan Renjie analyzed the situation with her in detail and said that this was a chance to lead the Duan family to soar to success, a chance for her to escape from the difficult life she was facing, and she would never have to suffer again. Then Bai Zhen compromised, helped to make arrangements, and played the role of a good mother-in-law to the foreign woman.
Duan Renjie looked at Bai Zhen's smiling face and struck while the iron was hot, "I will speak a few more foreign words to him, so that he can understand them when he is born. This way, he can follow me to settle abroad earlier, and then he won't have to worry about anything."
Duan Renjie's heart was burning with excitement as he spoke. How many people tried every possible means to go abroad, but he could do it easily, all he had to do was marry Juliet.
Duan Renjie's heart became even hotter when he thought of Juliet. It turned out that foreign women were more open and passionate. When he thought of Juliet, Duan Renjie was too lazy to look at Bai Zhen. He just said a few words and went out for a date.
Bai Zhen didn't know that Duan Renjie had lost interest in her a long time ago, and after a few words from Duan Renjie, she began to have beautiful visions of the future.
She endures all this now in order to give her child a better life in the future and a better future for them and their child.
Duan Renjie's engagement party was coming soon. Coincidentally, it was just a few days after Gu Qingshi came back. It was scheduled in a hurry and arrived in just two days.
When the engagement party arrived, Gu Qingshi found out that Duan Renjie's engagement party was held in Gu's Kitchen. He was totally surprised and couldn't understand their choice.
