Chapter 2330: Resolve

An hour later, the car steadily stopped outside the Ji familys house. PEI GE was still in a daze from her sleepiness.

Weve arrived?

PEI GE was stunned when she saw the house before her. She thought that she had just fallen asleep, so she did not expect that they would already be there.

Lets go,he said.

Ji Ziming picked up her things and pulled her into the house. The family was still having breakfast at this time, so they could have a meal together.

Hes really made a big contribution. He even needs someone to pick him up. Its not like he doesnt know the address.

Gu Sheng rolled his eyes at her. She had already discovered that Ji Ziming was missing this morning. It turned out that he had gone to pick him up, and he even had to delay his breakfast because of this outsider.

Im sorry, Auntie.

She swallowed her anger and kept reminding him of the time he had been bedridden for half a year. If not for her love for him, she would not have come to someone elses house to suffer this anger.

Mom, lets have breakfast.

Ji Ziming was the peacemaker in the middle. He was already very happy that his mother had agreed to let PEI GE into the family, so he could only mediate the situation.

Lets eat.

Gu Sheng rolled his eyes at her. Lets see how long this little white Lotus can keep up her act.

By the time they reached the dining table, father Ji was already seated. PEI GE simply greeted him and sat down. Ji Ziming placed the food in front of her, causing Gu Sheng to roll his eyes at him.

Lets talk after dinner.

Gu Shengs words were meant for PEI GE. Some words might have the opposite effect if they were said in front of Ji Ziming, so she only hoped that PEI GE would know what to do.

Okay, Auntie.

She could only accept it. That was his mother, so she had no choice but to endure it.

Mom, what do you want to say to PEI GE?

Ji Ziming looked at Gu Sheng worriedly, unable to guess what he was thinking.

Its a topic between us women. Why are you asking so much?

Gu Sheng said, pretending to be angry. Did her son not trust her that much? PEI GE isnt made of paper. Do you think I can break her with my words?

Gu Shengs words were sarcastic, but it was ignored by the three people present.

This breakfast was torturous for her. The exquisite desserts before her did not pique her interest at all, and she only felt relieved when she finally finished the meal.

Come with me.

Gu Sheng called her upstairs, and she gave Ji Ziming a warning look, telling him not to go up. If he did, he would have to bear the consequences.

Ji Ziming kept looking up from downstairs, wis.h.i.+ng that he could grow a pair of thousand-mile ears to hear what his mother was saying. Half an hour later, the two finally came down.

Mom, what took you so long?

Ji Ziming walked to the staircase and went around Gu Sheng to hold PEI GEs hand. Her face was a little pale, which made his heart ache.

Im fine.

Come over and explain to me what this is.

Youre courting death! She heard Gu Shengs roar just as she finished speaking. Seeing that he was holding todays newspaper, she threw it in front of Ji Ziming.

Married? Why didnt i know about such a big thing?

Gu Sheng said angrily. She did not expect him to release the news of their marriage.

Mom, didnt you already agree to let her come out to the streets? marriage is only natural.

He argued. He wanted everyone to know that once his marriage with PEI GE was successful, even his mother would not be able to stop it. This was also the last resort he had for himself.

Alright, what you said makes sense, what you said makes sense.

Gu Sheng was so angry that he sat on the sofa. The news had already been reported and there was no point in stopping it. It might have a bad impact on the Ji family.

PEI GE was still kept in the dark and did not watch the news, but she could tell that something was amiss from their conversation.

You guys take your time.

Gu Sheng went to the door to change his shoes and informed the driver to go out. The most important thing now was to find a way to solve this problem, not to argue with the two of them.

After she left the house, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

In the cafe

Gu Sheng had been sitting there for a long time. The coffee in front of her was almost finished. She waved to the waiter for another cup. Only then did the person she had an appointment with arrive.

Auntie, Im sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road.

Gu Sheng smiled and did not say anything. It was just an excuse. How could she not tell? but she was the one who asked him out and she had something to ask of him, so she did not care too much.

Simin, its fine. I just arrived. Did you read the newspaper this morning?

Gu Sheng immediately led the topic back on track. She believed that Yun Simin must have known about this. Even if she did not know, she would tell her.

Auntie, are you talking about Ji Zimings marriage? I wonder which girl is so lucky.

Yun Simin laughed. She knew what Gu Sheng meant, but he was just pretending. There was already someone in her heart, so no matter how outstanding Ji Ziming was, she would not be moved.

Thats right. I dont know what this Vixen did to our Ziming. Can you help aunty?

Gu Shengs voice was gentle, completely devoid of the sharp and unkind tone he had with PEI GE earlier. This was the daughter-in-law he liked, but love was unrequited.

Auntie, if you need anything, just let me know. If shes staying in your house, the dirty and tiring work isnt something that an ordinary girl can handle.

Yun Simin had already made her words clear enough. How could a smart person like Gu Sheng not understand? she did not say it very directly. Since it was the Ji familys matter, she did not want to interfere. As for her friend, she was not sure.

Thats right. This girl is so delicate now. Misss body is like a servants life. Youre better.

Gu Sheng was not stingy with his praise when it came to Yun Simin. In any case, she found PEI GE to be an eyesore.

Auntie, youre also very outstanding. I still have a lot to learn from you.

Yun Simin flattered Gu Sheng. Gu Shengs family was rich. If she could please Gu Sheng, her business might go up a little in the future.

You must be joking. Its not bad, right?

After hearing Yun Simins exaggeration, Gu Shengs smile was so wide that it almost bloomed, but he had to hold back a little in front of Yun Simin.

Auntie, if theres nothing else, Ill take my leave first. Theres still something I need to do at home.

If theres anything, you can go back first.
