Chapter 66: Adultery 33
This sentence made the atmosphere even more silent.
The atmosphere of matchmaking was disrupted by Gu Yanchen's sudden words. No one expected it and didn't know how to react for a moment.
In the end, it was Gu Chengyuan who spoke first. He frowned and looked at Gu Yanchen with a look of disapproval: "Xiaochen, what are you talking about?"
"Grandpa, I didn't say anything nonsense."
Gu Yanchen paused: "I just haven't had time to tell you yet."
Then he looked at Guan Chongshan and Guan Shaohua: "Grandpa Guan, Miss Guan, I'm sorry to say this to your face, but considering that I can't lie to you, I think it's better to speak now. I do have someone I like, and I'm very serious about it. Also..."
"If I wasn't afraid of speaking too casually at a time like this, I'd say my feelings for him are more than just love."
Everyone could see how seriously and solemnly Gu Yanchen spoke.
But despite this, the scene is still not very pretty.
After all, Guan Chongshan and Guan Shaohua were also the ones who were rejected.
Even though Guan Shaohua had not said anything before, her face was inevitably a little embarrassed at this moment, but she was still able to maintain her decency. After all, until now, she and Gu Yanchen had not said a few words, and the few words they said were all polite words. It was always the elders who were talking, and she really had no right to speak.
But inevitably, Guan Shaohua couldn't help but feel a little curious. To what extent did Gu Yanchen like her that he could speak without regard for etiquette in such an occasion?
Although the reason she gave was that she didn't want to deceive them, with so many people present, if she didn't speak out now and only said it in private, they would indeed understand. However, in the eyes of others, she and Gu Yanchen had been set up together, and there would always be rumors that seemed to be true. It would be difficult to explain to others at that time.
So, the main reason why Gu Yanchen spoke at this time was probably because he didn't want anyone to misunderstand him, nor did he want the rumor that the two of them had been a matchmaker to spread?
Thinking of this, Guan Shaohua couldn't help but look at Gu Yanchen again.
If she had previously had a good impression of Gu Yanchen based on his identity, social status, figure, appearance and other public information, then now she was even more curious and wanted to explore more. It was a pity that this idea was also based on Gu Yanchen's attitude of publicly rejecting her at this time.
Alas, how come such a good man was taken away by someone else?
"Can I ask who you like?" Guan Shaohua couldn't help but ask curiously.
She really wanted to know who could hold the heart of this man so tightly that he would even disregard etiquette in such an occasion to avoid possible misunderstandings?
After the words fell, Gu Rong couldn't help but look at Gu Yanchen.
Although Gu Yanchen had not turned his gaze towards him since he started speaking, the two of them sat face to face, and there seemed to be some kind of invisible atmosphere lingering between them, which was not easily perceived by others, but constantly entangled between the two of them.
"Feel sorry."
Gu Yanchen said at this time: "It's not very convenient."
"Why?"
Guan Shaohua wanted to continue asking if there really was such a person, otherwise why was it inconvenient to say it out loud, or was it just Gu Yanchen's one-sided love?
But before she could say anything else, she heard Guan Chongshan call her name.
Although Gu Yanchen's words were somewhat embarrassing for them, it would be a bit too much for Guan Shaohua to ask further.
Guan Shaohua understood what his grandfather meant and could only shut up.
Guan Chongshan started talking, and Gu Chengyuan naturally took over the conversation, apologizing to his old friend, saying that he had not been able to figure out the situation in advance, and now he almost tied the wrong red line.
What else could Guan Chongshan say about the current situation? He naturally agreed with a few words and then tacitly passed over the topic.
But after the birthday banquet, Gu Chengyuan didn't even have time to call anyone to the study. In front of Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing who were still there, his face completely gloomy when he looked at Gu Yanchen, because he couldn't agree with Gu Yanchen's previous abrupt remarks, and couldn't even understand why Gu Yanchen suddenly said that.
"Do you really have someone you like?"
Although he asked this, Gu Chengyuan felt that this should be true.
After all, Gu Yanchen's previous behavior did not seem perfunctory, nor did it seem like he was just saying it casually.
But because of this, Gu Chengyuan couldn't understand it anymore: "Since you have someone you like, why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said it earlier, why would you have to--"
"Grandpa, I'm just not ready to tell you how to do it." Gu Yanchen said.
Gu Chengyuan frowned even more tightly: "What do you mean by not ready?"
How could Gu Chengyuan not understand this child whom he had raised? Perhaps from the moment Gu Yanchen suddenly opened his mouth, Gu Chengyuan vaguely realized that something was wrong. Now, after listening to Gu Yanchen's explanation, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition, as if something was beyond his control.
"Xiaochen, Grandpa is not a person with old-fashioned ideas. Even if the person you like is not as well-matched as the Guan family, it doesn't mean that—"
"grandfather."
Gu Yanchen said calmly, "If the person I like is a man like me, is that okay?"
After the words were spoken, there was silence.
Most of the people present were stunned by the news.
After Gu Yanchen admitted to her face that he had someone he liked, he actually came out to her face again?!
Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing were even a little embarrassed, feeling that they shouldn't stay here. They looked at each other and thought that it would be a bit abrupt to ask to leave at this time. Just when they were wondering what to do, they heard someone gasp, as if they had just realized what Gu Yanchen was saying.
Gu Chengyuan finally came to his senses, a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face: "What did you say?!"
"Do you know what you're talking about?! You—"
"Dad, Dad, don't be angry."
At this time, Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan stepped forward from the left and right and immediately supported Gu Chengyuan, fearing that Gu Chengyuan would be hurt by the anger.
"Let's talk it over. Maybe Yan Chen is joking with you."
"Yes, Dad, calm down first. Who could Yan Chen like? He has never been particularly close to anyone. He must be joking with you."
As Gu Zhewan spoke, she turned to look at Gu Yanchen, her eyes flickering as she said, "Yanchen, quickly explain to your grandfather who you could possibly like, and how could you possibly like a man? You can't be influenced by those online comments, right? Aren't those people just talking nonsense? Besides, they're talking about you and—"
Having said this, Gu Zhewan suddenly fell silent.
Gu Chengyuan was quick to notice something: "What online comments? What nonsense are they saying online?"
Gu Zhewan looked a little embarrassed: "Dad, this..."
"What the hell is going on?!"
Song Yi said from the side: "Dad, it's actually not a big deal, it's just a misunderstanding. The child suddenly saw it on the news that day, and we just took a quick look at it... It's quite outrageous, don't take it seriously, you'd better not know about it. It's not easy for us to talk about it..."
Gu Chengyuan's expression grew even more gloomy. He turned to look at Song Yunzhou and said, "Yunzhou, tell me, what's going on?"
"I...Grandpa, I..."
The person who took a breath just now was Song Yunzhou. At this moment, he looked at Gu Chengyuan, then at Gu Yanchen, and finally subconsciously turned his gaze to Gu Rong——
"Grandpa, I..."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Gu Yanchen took a deep breath and looked at Gu Rong, meeting his gaze.
There was no expression on Gu Rong's face. He just stared at Gu Yanchen without saying a word or reacting, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After a few seconds, Gu Yanchen withdrew his gaze, then looked at Gu Chengyuan and said solemnly:
"Now that we've come this far, there's nothing to hide. Let me tell you."
"Grandpa, the reason I'm not ready to tell you yet is because the person I like is Gu Rong."
"I was the one who insisted on falling in love with him, and I was also pursuing him."
"I hope to gain your approval."
After Gu Yanchen finished speaking, he turned to look at Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing, who were equally shocked and didn't even know how to react. "I also hope to get your approval."
These few words are no less than a bombshell.
There were several bangs, which made everyone dizzy.
Xu Zhian and Cheng Yunqing were especially stunned. How could they still be involved?!
Looking at Xu Junyue again, he was also dumbfounded.
Originally, when Gu Yanchen said that he had someone he liked, Xu Junyue didn't believe it. He thought how could it be possible? His elder brother didn't look like the type who could like anyone.
Later when I had to believe it, it still seemed unreal.
When I heard that Gu Yanchen still liked men, I felt even more that this world was crazy. Would the sun rise from the west tomorrow?
Unexpectedly, there is no most explosive, only more explosive.
What did he just hear?!
Xu Junyue's gaze subconsciously turned towards Gu Rong.
His mouth was wide open.
Is this right? !
As soon as I thought of this, I heard Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan anxiously shouting "Dad"——
Gu Chengyuan covered his head and shook his body.
"grandfather--"
Gu Yanchen also wanted to step forward to help.
"Stop right there!"
Gu Chengyuan roared, his face looking extremely ugly. With the help of Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan, he stood up. He put down his hands and looked at Gu Yanchen, then at Gu Rong: "Your elder brother, what he just said was true? Do you know--"
"Grandpa, you can ask me anything you want."
"Shut up!"
Gu Chengyuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down several times before speaking with a grim expression: "Gu Rong, answer me."
Gu Rong sighed and was about to speak when he saw someone blocking his way.
"Grandpa, I told you, you can ask me anything you want." Gu Yanchen emphasized again in a calm voice.
"I confessed the matter, why bother him?"
Gu Chengyuan looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, especially Gu Yanchen. He said "OK" several times and looked at them with an unprecedented stern tone: "Even if you two are not related by blood, you are still brothers in the eyes of others - especially in the Gu family! Do you know what people will say about you if this gets out?!"
The latter sentence was directed at Gu Yanchen.
"Where do you put the Gu family when you say such things?! Have you considered the feelings of Gu Rong's biological parents?!"
"besides......"
Gu Chengyuan glanced at Gu Rong behind Gu Yanchen: "What position do you put Gu Rong in to say such a thing?"
