Chapter 151: Catching Up
"Sir!" Uncle Cheng walked in and said to Gu Qiming, who was playing chess with his wife Qi Meilan: "There are guests visiting!" β
"Guest?" Gu Qiming and Qi Meilan glanced at each other, now that the weather is freezing, who would come to their house on such a cold day? β
"It's Young Master Tang!" Uncle Cheng said.
"Young Master Tang?" Gu Qiming was stunned and said, "Tang Yifeng? β
"What is he here for?" Qi Meilan said: "Didn't you come to get out of the marriage?" β
Tang Zhenshan's attack on Luoyang Village spread throughout Meilong Town, before the Tang and Gu families got married, the city already knew about it, and now as soon as this happened, everyone was waiting to see the excitement, after all, the relationship between Luoyang Village and the Gu family was well known, and Tang Zhenshan couldn't not know, he attacked Luoyang Village, and he was also slapping the Gu family in the face, is it possible for these two families to get married? I'm afraid that Tang Zhenshan didn't have that mind for a long time, but he just took pity on the Gu family and the frail and sickly eldest lady of the Gu family, and originally thought that this eldest lady Gu finally found this enviable husband's family, and there was no need to worry about the days ahead, but it didn't take long for the family to be yellow, but this was divorced by the Tang family, it would be difficult to find her mother-in-law's family again, who would want the girl who was divorced!
When these rumors reached Qi Meilan's ears, she was naturally angry, but what could she do? Their Gu family is not a wealthy family, they have been scholarly for generations, and now they are doing a small business, they can only be said to be richer than ordinary people, but they are too far behind warlords like the Tang family. Originally, she still thought that Mrs. Tang liked Xiaoying so much, and she was kind to others, she shouldn't be able to do such a thing as quitting the marriage, but Gu Qiming said that even if their Tang family didn't withdraw from the marriage, their Gu family would also go to withdraw from this family business, anyway, Qi Zhishan is also his father-in-law, if Tang Zhenshan attaches importance to the marriage with their family, he will not ignore them to attack Luoyang Village, which shows that they don't take their Gu family in their eyes, if they really marry Xiaoying, their family still doesn't know how to bully her? Although their Gu family is not rich and expensive, they can definitely support their daughter, even if they don't marry for the rest of their lives, their family's family business is enough for her to eat and drink well for a lifetime.
Although Qi Meilan disagreed with Gu Qiming's statements, she thought that the girl's family always had to get married, and others at home would gossip, but she also felt that if Xiaoying married into the Gu family, she might have to suffer some grievances, so she also agreed to withdraw from this marriage, as for Xiaoying, it would be better for her to find a good family in the future, even if it was to find a small family, as long as she was good to Xiaoying.
Therefore, Tang Yifeng came to the door today, and Qi Meilan's first reaction was that he came to withdraw from the marriage!
Gu Qiming pondered for a moment and said to Uncle Cheng, "Take him to the front hall." β
Uncle Cheng responded, Qi Meilan said: "He is here to withdraw from the marriage, what do you do when you go to see him, just let Uncle Cheng deal with it, he will retreat if he wants to." β
"I'll go see him and see what he has to say." Gu Qiming said.
"What else can you say?" Qi Meilan was a little angry: "It's just some words that our family is not worthy of their family, instead of being insulted by him, it is better to simply disappear, anyway, this Tang family, I don't want to see anyone again in the future." At that time, she still thought that Xiaoying was still blessed, with such an understanding mother-in-law, the future would not be bad, but now it seems that she only blames herself for being too naΓ―ve at the time.
Gu Qiming said while getting dressed: "No matter what, we must also do the etiquette first, and we can't fall into the hands of others, my Gu family is not as powerful as their Tang family, but we are reasonable and more polite!" β
"Alas!" Qi Meilan sighed, got up and helped Gu Qiming button up, she is a husband who is good at everything, but she has the sour and rotten spirit of a literati, and she has to say a word of etiquette in everything, according to her ideas, she directly withdrew from the marriage and blasted Tang Yifeng out, why bother to meet him, but she knows Gu Qiming's temper, since she can't resist it, let him go.
"Don't worry!" Gu Qiming knew that Qi Meilan was awkward, and said to her: "I won't talk much to him, just withdraw from the marriage and send him away." β
But to Qi Meilan's deep surprise, Tang Yifeng not only did not leave, but stayed in the Gu family.
"What's going on?" Qi Meilan was puzzled: "Didn't you say that you were going to send him away, why are you still living in our house?" β
Gu Qiming was also confused, he recalled the situation when he met Tang Yifeng just now, and still felt a little unclear about the situation.
"Speak, what the hell did he say?" Qi Meilan saw that Gu Qiming didn't speak for a long time, and urged.
"He said he wasn't here to get married." Gu Qiming slowed down for a while, looked at Qi Meilan and said.
"Not to get out of the marriage?" Qi Meilan wondered: "Then what is he doing here?" β
"He said he came to find Xiaoying!" Gu Qiming replied.
"What are you looking for Xiaoying?" Qi Meilan frowned, they only received the news from Luoyang Village this morning, saying that Xiaoying had returned to Luoyang Village and would go home in a few days, why did Tang Yifeng come to the door so coincidentally, and said that he would wait for Xiaoying?
Gu Qiming said: "He said that he returned to Fengcheng on the same train as Xiaoying. β
Qi Meilan nodded, it turned out to be like this, no wonder he knew that Xiaoying was back. From Tang Zhenshan to attack Luoyang Village, they knew that the marriage of the Tang Gu family was going to be yellow, when Xiaoying was in Shanghai, they went to find her father, and her father said that he would send someone to Shanghai to pick Xiaoying back, and they had been waiting for news, but why did Tang Yifeng come back in the same car as Xiaoying? Could it be that the two of them have discussed it?
"...... you say" Qi Meilan sat down slowly and said, "Will Xiaoying and this Tang Yifeng be ......?"
Gu Qiming shook his head: "Won't it?" Xiaoying, this child looks soft and weak, but in fact, she has a very correct idea, if she knew about Tang Zhenshan's attack on Luoyang Village, how could she be with Tang Yifeng? Xiaoying was brought up by her father-in-law since she was a child, and her feelings for her father-in-law are even deeper than those for you and me, and she can't like Tang Yifeng for this, besides, this marriage, Xiaoying was unwilling from the beginning, don't look at her short days by our side, but I know what she thinks. β
Qi Meilan smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, you know your daughter best." Finally, she asked, "Tell me, then, what is the current situation?" If the two of them didn't like each other, then why did Tang Yifeng come to the door and wait for Xiaoying? β
Gu Qiming thought for a moment and said slowly: "What else can it be?" Since they didn't like each other, Tang Yifeng came to the door to wait for Xiaoying again, so it must be that he liked Xiaoying! β
"Huh?" Qi Meilan blinked: "You mean...... Does he like Xiaoying? Still catching up with the door? β
Gu Qiming nodded: "My fair lady, good gentleman, I don't know if Tang Yifeng is a gentleman, but my daughter is a veritable lady, what's so strange about catching up with her?" β
