At this time, the atmosphere in the private room next door was a bit awkward.
The old man of the Gu family, Gu Jiancheng, and his eldest son's family were all looking at the young man across the table, seemingly a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Zhe, please wait a moment, Ling'er will be back soon. She had a stomachache just now and went to the bathroom." Gu Qingyue looked at Xiao Zhe and smiled coquettishly.
Gu Qingyue's father, Gu Guowen, also quickly echoed: "Yes, Ling'er will be back soon, Xiao Zhe, don't worry about it. This girl is like this. She is immature in doing things."
Gu Qingyue's mother, Wu Jin, smiled playfully: "It will be fine in the future. With Xiao Zhe taking care of her and helping her, I believe Ling'er will mature quickly."
Xiao Zhe, who was opposite him, smiled bitterly.
In fact, he, like Gu Ling'er, was somewhat resistant to this meeting.
If the Xiao family hadn't asked him to come to the Imperial Capital to meet Gu Linger, he would definitely not have come over on his own initiative.
It's not that Gu Ling'er isn't beautiful, but Xiao Zhe doesn't like forced marriages. He likes to let nature take its course, and feels a little disgusted with this kind of deliberate blind date...
However, now that he is here, he can't show his displeasure.
After all, the Xiao family in the Demon City and the Gu family in the Imperial Capital are family friends. The two families have been friends for a long time. The heads of both families hope to get closer through marriage, so this meeting took place.
Xiao Zhe looked at everyone in the Gu family and smiled: "It doesn't matter, we're just waiting for a while, it's not a big deal."
"Besides, what beautiful girl doesn't want to be waited for, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, we Xiao Zhe can talk." Wu Jin said with a smile.
At this time, the old man of the Gu family, who had been silent, nodded and looked at Xiao Zhe, "Xiao Zhe, how is your grandpa's health now?"
Xiao Zhe smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
"Grandpa... his physical condition is not very good. His condition has deteriorated a bit."
The old man's brows instantly knitted together.
"Is it serious now? Why don't you go and invite the best doctors? Otherwise, I will use all my resources to invite one of the eight major Chinese doctors to treat your grandfather!"
Xiao Zhe's grandfather and the old man of the Gu family are not just old friends, they have a life-long friendship.
When Gu Jiancheng failed in his investment business, he was forced to jump off the building by debt collectors. It was Xiao Zhe's grandfather who tried his best to pay off the debt for him and gave him a loan to start up again.
Gu Jiancheng will always remember this kindness.
Xiao Zhe looked at Gu Jiancheng, feeling a little moved in his heart.
"Grandpa Gu, no need... The Xiao family has invited all the famous doctors they can, but they all said... Grandpa still has a few months to live at most...
.”
Gu Jiancheng sighed, his face instantly filled with sadness.
"What is your grandfather's greatest wish now?"
"Should I ask you to start a family quickly so that he can have a great-grandson?"
Xiao Zhe nodded truthfully: "Well..."
In fact, this was the most important reason why the Xiao family urged him to come to the Imperial Capital to meet Gu Linger.
Before, Xiao Zhe had never gotten married, and his parents were not very anxious. Anyway, in their opinion, Xiao Zhe just didn't want to get married. If he has someone he likes, he will get married naturally.
But now, the condition of the old man of the Xiao family has worsened, and it can no longer be delayed...
In order to realize the old man's dream, Xiao Zhe came to the Gu family in Imperial Capital...
"Son, don't worry, I will let Ling'er marry you as soon as possible." Gu Jiancheng looked at Xiao Zhe and said solemnly: "You can cook the rice tonight."
"Young people, isn't this popular nowadays? As for the wedding, we can do it later, don't worry."
"what do you think?"
Xiao Zhe suddenly felt a big headache!
I'm going, right? I'm going to cook raw rice tonight?
Is this too fast?
He really wasn't ready yet.
However, he was not the only one who was unprepared.
