He put down his glass and repeated.
"I'm getting married next Wednesday."
This time, Mo Lin slipped.
"Gu, you're not joking, right? You just came and gave us such a big shock. You even woke us up from the wine. Hurry up and punish yourself with three glasses."
Ah Wei, who had been drinking with Mo Lin, thought that Gu Zhicheng was joking.
Gu Zhicheng just looked at them and smiled without saying a word.
Mo Lin looked at the man in front of him, who seemed to be serious. Married?
With whom?
He didn't even have a girlfriend, so why was he getting married?
He must have heard wrongly.
"Yes, I'm getting married."
He crossed his legs.
"F * ck, where is she from?"
He couldn't believe that Gu Zhicheng, who had been single for many years, would get married the moment he got into a relationship.
"You all know each other. You'll know at the wedding."
No matter how they tried to beat around the bush, Gu Zhicheng refused to tell them which family she was from. This made Mo Lin, the King of Gossip for many years, feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ai Yue got out of the car and limped back to the Ai family. It was too painful.
"D*mn you, Gu Zhicheng. If I didn't have a favor to ask of you, I would have extorted you to death long ago."
Ai Yue had probably forgotten about it and left with a black card.
She looked up at her long-lost home. Ever since she stubbornly wanted to marry Shen Yangqing, she rarely returned to this home.
This time, she had to protect her family well and not let Shen Yangqing hurt her at all.
"Young miss, what's wrong with you?"
When the housekeeper came out to throw the trash, she saw her eldest miss standing at her door with injuries all over her body, staring blankly at her.
"Auntie Hao!"
Ai Yue rushed up and hugged the nanny who had brought her up. Her eyes couldn't help but turn moist.
It was great that she could see these people who loved her again.
"Young miss, be gentler. I can't breathe."
Why was the young miss acting a little strange today? She couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Are Mom and Dad home?"
Ai Yue hadn't seen her parents for a long time. She felt a little uneasy seeing them again.
Back then, her willfulness and stubbornness must have made their hearts ache.
"Madam and Master are eating. Miss, quickly treat your wound and come eat. Talk to Master later and don't quarrel."
She helped Ai Yue into the house and saw her parents eating in the dining room on the left.
The tears that she had been holding back when she saw Auntie Hao just now could not help but burst out at this moment.
"Mommy!"
Ignoring the pain in her body, She broke free from Auntie Hao and stumbled toward her mother. She hugged her mother and cried loudly.
Mother Ai was frightened and quickly hugged Ai Yue.
"What's wrong with Yue? Why are you covered in injuries?"
She was fine when she left the house, so why did she come back with injuries?
"Boohoo... Burp!"
Ai Yue was grateful to God for giving her a chance to be reborn. She could see her parents, who loved her the most, again.
"Dad!"
She turned around and hugged Father Ai. Father Ai was confused. He held a pair of chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other. He looked at Mother Ai, not knowing what to do.
He swallowed the words that he was about to say.
"Don't cry. What's wrong?"
Seeing that his daughter was injured, no matter how unhappy he was, he would put it aside.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just... I just accidentally fell."
Ai Yue finally managed to calm down and sat down at the dining table while sobbing. Auntie Hao brought over a bowl and chopsticks.
She ate Auntie Hao's cooking, mouthful after mouthful. Mother Ai and Father Ai thought that Ai Yue had suffered some kind of trauma.
"Yue..."
Mother Ai was about to ask Ai Yue if she had quarreled with Shen Yangqing when Ai Yue interrupted her.
"What do you think of Gu Zhicheng, the second young master of the Gu family?"
After eating a few mouthfuls of food and drinking a bowl of soup, Ai Yue wiped her mouth in satisfaction.
In her previous life, Ai Yue didn't know how to cook at all. To give off the feeling of Shen Yangqing's clean house, Miss Ai, who had never done any housework, learned how to cook. However, she didn't like cooking at all. Her entire body was covered in the smell of oil and smoke.
"Hmph, although the Gu family's second young master doesn't interact much with our family, he's better than Shen Yangqing no matter what."
"No matter what, the Gu family is the number one aristocratic family. How bad can he be?"
At the mention of this, Father Ai got angry. Back then, Old Master Gu and his family had intended to match Gu Zhicheng and Ai Yue, but who would have thought that Shen Yangqing would appear out of nowhere?
"As long as you think it's good."
Hearing that her father had a good impression of Gu Zhicheng, Ai Yue was relieved. She was afraid that their marriage to Gu Zhicheng would make them even angrier.
"I'm not marrying Shen Yangqing."
Ai Yue whispered.
"What?"
Father Ai didn't hear what Ai Yue said and asked fiercely.
Ai Yue thought that her words had made her father unhappy.
"I... Sorry... I was too willful. I don't want to marry Shen Yangqing anymore."
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry a while ago."
Ai Yue was frightened by Father Ai's tone. She was both afraid and hoping that Father Ai would always be fierce to her.
"Yue'er?"
Mother Ai couldn't believe it. Why did her daughter, who had been talking back to Father Ai in the morning, suddenly change her mind?
Father Ai couldn't believe that her daughter would give up on marrying Shen Yangqing.
"You're already engaged. What's the use of saying this now?"
Father Ai was very happy that his daughter had come to her senses, but he still couldn't help but say something.
"Stop, honey!"
Mother Ai couldn't stand it anymore. This old man didn't know how to speak. He should shut up. His daughter had already said that she didn't want to marry that person from another city, but he was still not satisfied.
"Alright, alright. It's good that you can think things through."
"That man doesn't suit you at all. My daughter deserves better."
Father Ai said awkwardly.
"Now that the outside world knows that Yue and Shen Yangqing are engaged, the Shen family will probably not agree to it if they break off the engagement now. Besides, how is our Yue'er going to get married in the future?"
On the one hand, Mother Ai was relieved that Ai Yue had thought things through, but on the other hand, she was worried about her daughter's future happiness.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I won't let you worry about me anymore."
Ai Yue wondered if they would be worried about her marrying Gu Zhicheng...
"Yue'er, have you thought of a deal?"
Mother Ai still couldn't believe that her daughter had suddenly changed her mind.
"I've decided. I want to marry Gu Zhicheng."
