Chapter 49: The Engagement
As soon as the news that Gu Xi could cultivate talismans was announced. The one who can't accept it the most is Liu Sicheng.
The Liu family's talisman is not passed on to outsiders, Gu Xi is only the adopted daughter of the Liu family in name, and she is still an outsider after all.
Only by marrying into the Liu family and becoming the daughter-in-law of the Liu family can it be regarded as the Liu family in the true sense.
In fact, this is not a complete guarantee, but Liu Tianlong dares to be so confident, naturally there are means to make Gu Xi dare not break away from the Liu family.
Let's not mention what the means will be.
Let's start with Liu Sicheng, who has been hit by this bad news and is a little crazy about the short circuit of his nerves.
"I won't be engaged to this kind of wild girl, and I am not the only son in the Liu family, let her marry Liu Sicong's sick seedling."
Liu Silong glanced at Gu Xi, who was still silent and cold, and then looked at Liu Sicheng, who was unscrupulous, and frowned: "What nonsense, let me hear you say that your brother's sick son is not polite." I'll discuss this matter with your mother first, it's getting late, you and Gu Xi go back to their rooms to rest first. Then he took the lead in the study and walked in the direction of Liu Ai'er's room.
Liu Sicheng was so excited that he couldn't get back to his usual gentleness, and shouted in a rather hysterical frenzy: "Dad, I really don't want to be engaged to this kind of wild girl." I've got someone I like, really. β
But Liu Tianlong disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye as if he hadn't heard it.
"Don't be complacent, I won't let you get away with it." Liu Sicheng had nowhere to vent his grievances, and his originally handsome and elegant face was gloomy, and there was still his previous demeanor.
Gu Xi hooked his lips and smiled: "Young man, don't be too sure about everything, those who draw conclusions too early often lose miserably!" β
Then he returned to the room under Liu Sicheng's angry gaze.
Gu Xi didn't care whether she was engaged or not, anyway, learning talismans was just a springboard, and when she broke through the third layer of qi training and got those dragon qi, she would naturally leave the Liu family. Why care about things that are not destined to come true from the beginning?
Sure enough, in the end, Liu Sicheng agreed to the marriage.
Liu Ai'er is still very reliable at a critical time, which makes Gu Xi decide to adjust her attitude towards Liu Ai'er, which may be of great use in the future.
Probably afraid of long nights and dreams, Liu Ai'er moved very quickly this time, and quickly prepared the engagement ceremony between Gu Xi and Liu Sicheng.
Because Liu Sicheng is Liu Tianlong's valued heir, Gu Xi can also practice talismans. In addition, Liu Aier knows it.
She naturally refused to deal with her biological daughter's engagement ceremony simply, and because of the guilt in her heart for Gu Xi,
So the engagement ceremony is extraordinarily grand.
The top families in the entire capital have received invitations to the engagement ceremony. Even some of those who are not in the capital have heard the news.
Liu Tianlong's son is getting engaged, not the eldest son Liu Sicong, but the second son Liu Sicheng.
The few top families who know the inside story know that Liu Sicheng can practice talismans, and may be the successor of the next head of the Liu family. It is not uncommon for him to get engaged to the boss of the sick seedling.
There are many children of the family who are engaged at a young age.
The strange one is the unknown fiancΓ©e.
Gu Xi?
Could it be a girl from the Gu family in Huizhou? But let's not say that the Gu family is no longer what it used to be, and they haven't heard of any girls of school age.
For a while, they speculated who this Gu Xi was?
Which girl is so lucky, you have to know that the entire Huaxia has a little knowledge of the Liu family's talisman and all the forces of the family, and they are all aiming at the position of Liu Sicheng's future wife.
Liu Tianlong's preference for women is true, but even if he is young, he is in his forties, and he has a lot of wives, and he can't take out the girl at home to marry if he has a little face.
Lao Tzu was too unparticular to start, so he hit his son with the idea.
After so many years of gearing up, watching the boy grow up day by day, before they could scramble, the boiled duck flew by itself.
How can this be willing.
Therefore, for a while, the spies of the major families came out, and they all wanted to know who this Gu Xi was for the first time.
Li Hexi flipped through the Liu family's wedding card and said in surprise.
"Gu Xi? Could it be the Gu Xi I thought? β
Li Hekun, who was sitting behind the desk frowning and looking at the materials, moved his ears and threw away the materials at once.
"Do you know this Gu Xi? Ever seen? Which one? What does it look like? β
Li Hexi threw down the wedding card and looked at his eldest brother's excited appearance, thinking about Gu Xi's indifferent and boring face, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, Gu Xi can be the young grandmother of the Liu family, brother, I won't be surprised if you marry the black skin Shih Tzu who sells skewers at the gate of our school." β
Li Hekun jumped from behind the desk with both hands and mercilessly gave his brother a potsticker.
"It's itchy skin, even your brother dares to make it up! Underwhelmed! But in the end, it was a brother, and he quickly understood what his brother meant: "You mean, the Gu Xi you know is not in good condition?" is not worthy of Liu Sicheng, in fact, I have also seen Liu Sicheng twice, it's really not good, the whole sissy! β
Li Hexi touched his aching head and muttered: "You see who is not like a sissy, can you not treat me with the same set of treatment for your soldiers." It hurts to death. But! Li Hexi's eyes showed Gu Xiqing's cold and indifferent face and his straight body.
"It's not unworthy, the Gu Xichang I know is actually not bad, the key is temperament, I can't say it, it's very special, you can't forget it when you see it, but a man like her wouldn't want to marry back, unless she thinks life is too easy."
"Then you've been chirping crookedly for a long time, haven't you?" The grumpy Li Hekun was impatient.
The Liu family has been very tightly blocked for Gu Xi's identity, and now not only their Li family, but also other forces have not detected it, so this situation is naturally very passive.
Li Hexi was beaten and scared by this violent big brother, and saw that he was anxious and had a bad temper because of this incident.
Hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't you call and ask?" β
He actually regretted it, and it was clear that the paralyzed woman he knew couldn't be yes, why did he pick up the invitation and read it, and why did he say it cheaply.
said it was a phone call, but he didn't have any confidence at all, with this period of time when the table was closely observed and summarized, he had already known the woman's ice-like character, although he secretly got her number, but he dared to call over, whether the other party would answer is one thing, even if he answered his own question, it is estimated that he will hang up indifferently.
Alas, depressed!
Under the dangerous gaze of his eldest brother, he dialed the phone.
But fortunately, I didn't say anything, and I even took it.
"Who!" The tone is also as he knows, there is no trace of femininity in the hardness, not even a trace of humanity.
"Gu Xi?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Are you listening?"
ββ¦β
"Gu Xi!"
"Smack!" The other party hung up the phone.
Li Hexi looked at Li Hekun with an embarrassed expression, and Li Hekun touched his forehead: "This character...... Truly special! β
