Chapter 37(1/2)
The next day was Saturday, and Xie's mother called her early in the morning and asked Rong Yan to go shopping.
Rong Yan said that he was on a business trip in Beijing.
Mother Xie was very melancholy, "Son, after careful consideration, Lao Xie and I decided to advance your engagement ceremony to next Saturday. A Chu agreed, do you have any objections?"
"I don't have any objections. Everything depends on the arrangements of aunt and uncle." Rong Yan's mind was filled with the 600,000 promised by Xie Chu, and he was not tough at all when he spoke.
"Don't worry, my child. Although you don't have any relatives to make decisions for you, our Xie family will never treat you badly. I have prepared jewelry, real estate, and gifts. When you return to Jincheng, you must come to see if there is anything you don't like.
I want to change it quickly."
Rong Yan's nose felt sore as she listened to Xie's mother nagging.
It turns out that it feels so good to be cared for and loved by elders.
Rong Yan is planning to stay in Junyue Mansion for the past two days to get the blueprints for participating in the rd competition.
After heating up the milk and slices of bread, Rong Yan sat in the dining room and ate while scrolling through his cell phone.
Gu Xing's WeChat message suddenly popped up: [Are you awake?]
She opened the voice chat without thinking, "I woke up early and it's time to eat."
Gu Xing's side became quiet, and Rong Yan continued to browse short videos.
A few minutes later, Gu Xing sent another WeChat message: [The flight has been advanced and we will arrive in Jincheng at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.]
It doesn't matter to Rong Yan whether he goes back on Sunday or Monday.
Out of politeness, she sent a "hmm" emoticon.
"If I go back early, won't it be a little surprise for you?"
This text message was withdrawn by Gu Xing as soon as it was sent, but Rong Yan still saw it.
Rong Yan thought of Qiu Yuntong inexplicably, clicked the voice button and said sourly: "Since you have gone to country m, stay a few more days. After all, there is someone you want to see there."
Gu Xing called immediately and scolded him in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Just telling the truth. Everyone has emotions, why should Lawyer Gu feel guilty?" Rong Yan said angrily, "Gu Zhang said that you have to go to Country M on your birthday every year. After thinking about it, there is only one woman in the world.
More important than your son, she is your son’s biological mother.”
"Correction, she is not my son's biological mother, but Gu Zhang's biological mother." Gu Xing's attitude was unclear.
Rong Yan felt that he was quibbling and snorted coldly, "Since we love each other so much, let's get her back. Wouldn't it be nice to reunite the family of three!"
"It smells like vinegar." Gu Xing laughed softly, "Rong Yan, the truth is really not what you think."
"What do these nonsense of yours have to do with me!" Rong Yan also felt that what he said was a bit too much and hurriedly explained, "I just feel sorry for Gu Zhang. He obviously has a mother, but he can't enjoy the warmth of the family."
"Then please take care of Gu Zhang more in the future. After all, the relationship between you and me is here, and you have this obligation both emotionally and logically." Gu Xing said slowly.
"My relationship with you is only in bed, no other discussion!" Rong Yan ended the call angrily.
There was still half a glass of milk and a piece of bread on the table. Rong Yan poured them into the trash can.
The call rang again.
Rong Yan thought it was Gu Xing, so he opened it and said, "Are you trying to feed me poisonous chicken soup again and ask me to take care of your son?"
"It's me——" Rong Tiande's dull voice came.
Rong Yan covered her lips and was speechless.
"Yanyan, dad heard good news today, you will be engaged to Mr. Xie next Saturday -"
Rong Yan laughed sarcastically, "You have already made a statement to sever the father-daughter relationship with me. What does my engagement have to do with you?"
"You are my daughter no matter what. For such a big matter as an engagement, I should at least have the right to know, right?" Rong Tiande chuckled and was very patient.
"Now you know what to do, and don't bother me again." Rong Yan will never forget Rong Tiande's face when he broke up with her.
"Yanyan, not only do you have good vision, but your emotional intelligence is several levels higher than Ning Ning's! Ten Yang Jiuans are not as good as one of the Xie family. From now on, you will be the only one of the Xie family -"
Before he could finish speaking, Rong Yan hung up the phone and dragged his number into the blacklist.
It was so early in the morning, it was really disgusting.
Rong Yan took a shower, turned off her cell phone, and turned on her computer to get into work mode.
At noon, Rong Yan turned on her phone and found many messages about her on WeChat.
It turns out that at some point, she was dragged into the family WeChat group of the three members of the Xie family by Xie Chu!
After looking through dozens of chat records, except Xie's father saying welcome to Rong Yan, the others were all pictures of various betrothal gifts sent by Xie's mother, and she kept asking if Rong Yan liked it.
A large row of brand-new red boxes filled with pink old men’s heads, eight pairs of gold necklaces and gold bracelets, a three-piece set of top-quality emeralds, six house books, rings, earrings and necklaces from top luxury brands, lights
There are more than ten bags...
Every picture Xie’s mother posts makes her “frightened”.
She thought the engagement ceremony was just a meal just like playing house!
Rong Yan was so nervous that her palms were sweating, she felt like she was playing too hard!
Xie's mother kept teasing her in the group, and Xie Chu replied to Xie's mother, saying that Rong Yan was probably busy and didn't see her.
Now she doesn't dare to reply a word.
After finding Xie Chu's phone number and dialing it, Xie Chu smiled and said "hello".
"Xie Chu, have you ever thought about how it will end?" Rong Yan scratched her long hair in collapse, "Your mother made it so grand, will we be punished by God for lying to her like this?"
"You didn't run away with the betrothal gift, what kind of punishment will you suffer!" Xie Chu smiled sheepishly, "I don't want to drag you into the group either, it was my mother who forced me. You can reply in the group,
She has been holding her cell phone all morning waiting for news from you."
Rong Yan sighed, "Xie Chu, you have such a good mother, you'd better find a good woman to marry and live home as soon as possible."
"Women are too troublesome! It's okay to talk about love and sleep, but I will never spend the rest of my life on one woman!"
Xie Chu said calmly.
"It was you who saved the Milky Way in your previous life. You were born in such a good family and had such good parents!" Rong Yan was filled with sadness and retorted at him.
As human beings, why is there such a big gap between her and Xie Chu?
Xie Chu saw that she was silent and was about to hang up the phone, but she stopped him again, "There is something you must explain clearly to your parents - Rong Tiande is very likely to go to your house -"
"He has already severed the father-daughter relationship with you. It would be useless to go. My parents will not pay attention to him." Xie Chu comforted Rong Yan, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, he will never get any advantage in my family."
"That's good." Rong Yan put the phone on the table, pressed her aching forehead and started thinking.
Xie's mother had created such a big battle, and it was impossible to hide it from Gu Xing.
In fact, it was just an engagement ceremony with Xie Chu, which had no impact on her relationship with Gu Xing. The key to this matter was Gu Xing.
If Gu Xing understands her, everything will be easy to talk about.
If she doesn't understand and still obstructs her, she needs to think of a solution.
Rong Yan opened WeChat again and typed a line to reply to Xie's mother: [Thank you aunt and uncle, this is too expensive. I'm very stressed, so keep it simple if you can. 】
This sentence immediately poked a hornet's nest!
"Rong Yan, this is the only thing you've been doing all your life, how can you keep it simple?"
"I just want to thank Chu for a son. You must have what others have, and what you don't have!"
"Don't be stressed. I have already prepared your return gift. You don't have to worry about anything."
…
More than a dozen of Xie’s mother’s voice lines dominated the screen, each one expressing a mother’s deep love for her son.
Rong Yan thought for a while, smiled indifferently, and did not dare to express any further opinions.
That night, Rong Yan fell asleep with guilt.
Sunday passed very peacefully. I only received a call from Gu Zhang. The two chatted for more than half an hour. At the end of the call, Gu Zhang also said that Lao Gu would be back tonight.
Rong Yan remembered that Gu Xing said he would arrive in Jincheng at eight o'clock in the evening and put on an apron at six o'clock to prepare dinner.
She had been having a hard time eating these past two days, and her stomach had suffered a lot, so she wanted to make up for it with a hearty meal.
I cooked white porridge, cooked beef bone and radish soup, and made two meat and two vegetable stir-fries.
Rong Yan felt so accomplished that she took a photo from a good angle and sent it to Gu Xing, but Gu Xing didn't respond.
The door lock rang, and when Gu Xing walked into the living room with his suitcase, Rong Yan was collecting clothes on the balcony.
"Back."
Gu Xing's eyes swept across the dining table, and there was a bit of human smoke between his brows.
"I made fruit tea, and it was on the coffee table in the living room." Rong Yan had something on his mind. The moment their eyes met, he smiled unnaturally.
Gu Xing bent down to open the suitcase, took out three identical bags and placed them on the sofa.
"What is this?" Rong Yan came over and saw a big hidden mark on the bag.
"Given to you." Gu Xing said, taking off his coat and tearing off his tie, "You said you like black, white and red. I bought all three colors."
