Gu Jiu sat on the balcony, watching the sun slowly rise from the eastern horizon, she drank a glass of water, and was about to put on makeup and go to school.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell......" The phone rang and she walked downstairs and picked up the phone.

"I will set your engagement ceremony with Xiao Jing for you in five days, and you can make an appointment with your friends at the restaurant on Saturday night." After Gu's mother finished speaking, she deducted the phone.

Gu Jiu stood in place in a daze.

"Hey, Qixia, I'm not going to school today."

"What's wrong with you?"

After Gu Jiu finished speaking, he deducted the phone, where was he still listening to Lin Qixia's words to ask her.

She sat there, not knowing where to go, and not knowing how to solve the problem, on the one hand, the person she truly loved, and on the other hand, the family that had raised her for more than ten years, how should she choose?

"Breakfast." Mu Ziche opened the door by himself and put the breakfast he bought on the table, "Remember to eat, I have to leave beforehand." ”

Gu Jiu looked at him expectantly, heard him say that he was leaving, and said goodbye in a calm tone. She patiently finished the breakfast Mu Ziche bought for her and went to the villa closest to the company.

"When will Mother come back?" Gu Jiu entered the door and asked the housekeeper standing next to him.

"Evening." The butler bent down and replied with two words, and straightened his back again.

"Dinner for two."

The butler bent down and said yes when he heard this, repeating what he had just done.

Gu Jiu stood in front of the window and heard the sound of entering the door.

"Serve." The servant shouted, and then a row of people brought the dishes on the table, and stood respectfully against the wall in a row. Gu's mother washed her hands with the prepared hand washing water and sat down at the table.

"Come here." Hearing Gu's mother call her, Gu Jiu sat down at the table.

"I'm not here for dinner today, I just want to ask you why you're getting engaged so soon."

"You don't want to book."

"Yes." Gu Jiu said firmly.

"I didn't intend to force you to be so urgent, but you and Mu Ziche have gone too far, and if you continue like this, I'm afraid the Bai family won't want you anymore."

"I don't order it."

"I didn't ask for your opinion, I just ordered you to marry him."

"Why?"

"I've raised you for 12 years."

"I'm not married."

Gu's mother slammed the wine glass on the table, and the wine inside spilled on the table.

Gu Jiu knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so he turned around and left.

The sky has no moon, it is covered with clouds, and it is about to rain, thunderstorm. Gu Jiu looked at the sky, and then at the road in front of him, confused and helpless. Raindrops fell, and bean-sized raindrops hit her. She kept walking on the road, without a taxi, without an umbrella, she walked for a long time, and she didn't know when she came to the road leading home.

The rain stopped. She looked up.

"Che. I don't want to marry Xiao Jing. ”

Mu Ziche touched her head: "It's just engagement, it's okay." ”

Gu Jiu smiled: Engagement, is there any difference between this kind of commercial marriage and marriage?

"Let's go home." Mu Ziche pulled her and walked into the huge villa. He brought a towel and wiped the rain from Gu Jiu's hair.

"Let's go take a shower."

When Gu Jiu heard this, he suddenly realized that he had been drenched in the dirty rain for so long, and immediately rushed into the bathroom.

She came out of the bathroom and said, "I'm sleeping." ”

"Wait." Mu Ziche picked up the towel, "I'll blow your hair, sleeping with wet hair is not good for your health." ”

Gu Jiu nodded. Mu Ziche blew her hair for her, frowning slightly. He couldn't give her the promise she wanted, and how sad it was for a man.
