she is sweeter than sugar

What, you like him?

Gu Zhiran's heart skipped a beat.

These words seemed to fall into her mind, lingering and echoing for a long time.

She lowered her eyes calmly, and said slowly, "Since you asked, Mo Xiang, then I won't hide it from you. There is a marriage contract between me and Young Master Wen."

Hearing this, Yan Moxiang subconsciously felt that Gu Zhiran was dreaming.

The Wen family is one of the largest big families in the imperial capital, and Gu Zhiran, although she has become Master Shen's apprentice now, her family is still an upstart in Songdu.

The two are not in the same family, and it is even more impossible for the Wen family to look at the daughter of a nouveau riche family.

If it was said that the Wen family had taken a fancy to Gu Zhiran's potential as a member of the Piano Association in the future, the Gu family would indeed be able to raise all boats because of Gu Zhiran's status in the future.

But considering what Gu Zhiran had shown to Wen Runian from the very beginning, the engagement between the two must not have been settled in just a few days.

In other words, Gu Zhiran might not have become Master Shen's apprentice at that time.

Under such circumstances, the Wen family would be crazy to be engaged to a nouveau riche family.

Noticing Yan Moxiang's disbelieving and mocking gaze when he looked at her, Gu Zhiran's eyes darkened slightly.

"In this kind of matter, I don't have to lie to you, and I won't make such a joke."

Yan Moxiang's eyes narrowed slightly.

She suddenly remembered that the reason Gu Zhiran was able to get to know them in the first place, it seemed... was introduced by Wen Runian.

And with Gu Zhiran's mind, she probably wouldn't do such a lie...

So, did Gu Zhiran really have an engagement with Wen Runian?

The reason why Wen Runian has never married another family in the imperial capital is that it has been rumored that he already has a fiancée.

It's just that no one has seen Wen Runian's fiancée until now, and the Wen family's attitude towards this matter is also ambiguous, and everyone guesses that this is why the Wen family doesn't want Wen Runian to get engaged for the time being. Find an excuse.

A few years ago, their Yan family tried to marry the Wen family.

The candidate was naturally Yan Moyu.

However, before they could tell the Wen family, something happened to Yan Moyu, and the matter was shelved.

But now, according to Gu Zhiran, is she Wen Runian's mysterious fiancée?

Yan Moxiang's eyes flashed, and he asked calmly, "The Wen family has always been in the imperial capital, when did you have an engagement?"

"My grandma and the elders of the Wen family are old acquaintances, so before I was born, the marriage contract between the two families was already settled." Gu Zhiran said.

As for the fact that Mrs. Gu and the elders of the Wen family are old acquaintances, Gu Zhiran heard from the Gu family.

"So it is."

Yan Moxiang nodded, and couldn't help searching for information related to Mrs. Gu in his mind.

It's just that Mrs. Gu has always been a marginal figure in her judgment, so Yan Moxiang didn't remember who this old Mrs. Gu was.

She came back to her senses and asked casually, "Then when will you prepare for the engagement banquet? You can't say it verbally when you were young, so it's considered a reservation, right?"

"It was originally like this, but... my grandma likes my cousin better, and wants me to give up this marriage contract to her..."

"To Gu Ci?"

Yan Moxiang sneered instantly, "She deserves it too?"

Although Yan Moxiang didn't like Gu Zhiran, but compared to Gu Ci, Gu Zhiran was more pleasing to the eye.

If Gu Ci really became Wen Runian's wife, wouldn't she have to pinch her nose and call Mrs. Wen Shao when she saw Gu Ci in the future?

Thinking of that scene, Yan Moxiang frowned in disgust.

"Your grandma is too partial, and she doesn't know how to measure it. Gu Ci is just a country girl. If Gu Ci is really pushed in front of the Wen family, the Wen family will probably be angry."

Hearing this, Gu Zhiran's eyes showed a hint of worry, he hesitated to speak, "I'm also worried that Wen Jiahui will vent her anger on the Gu family, but... Grandma doesn't listen to me, she really wants to let my cousin replace me... "

"Cousin, she lives with my second uncle's family. Life is hard, and grandma will inevitably feel more distressed."

"So, what do you want me to do now?" Yan Moxiang crossed his arms and looked at Gu Zhiran's face.

A look of confusion appeared on Gu Zhiran's face, "Mo Xiang, what are you talking about, what did I not ask you to do?"

Hearing this, Yan Moxiang sneered again.

She looked at Gu Zhiran, and said coldly, "Gu Zhiran, I'm not that stupid, don't try to use me as a weapon."

From the time Gu Zhiran said this, Yan Moxiang could guess what kind of plan Gu Zhiran was planning.

Gu Zhiran was not annoyed either, "You wouldn't want Gu Ci to become Mrs. Wen Shao, would you?"

"She definitely won't be able to become Mrs. Wen Shao, but you... It's hard to say." Yan Moxiang's eyes flashed a gleam of coldness.

The Song family held by Song Linshou developed faster than she expected...

Seeing Yan Moxiang's reluctance, Gu Zhiran gritted her teeth, lowered her voice and whispered in Yan Moxiang's ear, "Help me. Even if Gu Ci can't become Mrs. Wen Shao, you don't want people from other families in the imperial capital to reach an agreement with the Wen family." marriage relationship?"

"But as long as you help me, the Wen family and the Yan family will be allies in the future."

Yan Moxiang scoffed at what Gu Zhi said later.

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Even if she really helped Gu Zhiran become Mrs. Wen Shao, Gu Zhiran would not be able to influence the Wen family's decision.

Even...according to Zhiran's nature of taking care of her, she might verbally promise to be fine, but she won't go at all.

However, the first half of Gu Zhiran's sentence was correct.

The Yan family doesn't want the Wen family to marry other powerful families, but Gu Zhiran, for the big families in the imperial capital, can be regarded as powerless. help.

Her eyes flashed, and she said slowly, "Okay, then I'll give you a hand."

Hearing these words, Gu Zhiran felt a little calm in her heart, but in the next second...

Yan Moxiang picked up the wine glass and splashed it directly on her face!

Gu Zhiran only felt a chill on her head and face, and the liquid with the smell of alcohol fell down her hair, soaking most of her skirt again...

Anger welled up in Gu Zhiran's eyes, and she looked at Yan Moxiang questioningly.

Yan Moxiang covered his mouth with his hand, "Oh, I'm so sorry, my hand slipped..."

"Hurry up and change this skirt, Ru Nian, can I borrow your guest room for it?"
