"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

As soon as Gu Meng returned to the hotel, Li Jie called.

Gu Meng wondered: It's so late, what's the matter?

"Li Jie..."

Before Gu Meng could ask, Li Jie spoke first, "Gu Meng, Happy New Year."

He called so late just to say that?

"Thank you."

Li Jie suddenly softened his voice and asked, "Miss me?"

Even across the phone, Gu Meng was still not used to Li Jie's sudden tenderness.

She deliberately changed the topic: "Tomorrow, I will visit your house to pay New Year's greetings. Do I need to prepare any gifts?"

"Gift?" Li Jie thought for a while, and deliberately played tricks: "I really have a gift I want, but I'm afraid you won't give it."

"What is it?" Gu Meng dreamed that Sheng Xuemei gave him a car, and it was really not good for him to come home empty-handed during the festival.

"You!"

Gu Meng froze for a moment, was Li Jie joking?

Seeing that Gu Meng remained silent, Li Jie repeated again: "From the beginning to the end, all I want is you."

Gu Meng's ears turned red when he heard the words, but luckily Li Jie couldn't see his current appearance.

She hung up the phone directly, threw the phone on the bed, opened the minibar, took a bottle of iced Coke and drank it down.

The next day, when Gu Meng arrived at Li's Mansion, he happened to meet the Fu family.

She greeted politely, except for Fu Junshan nodding in response, Fu Sichen and Fu Wanyin ignored her.

Gu Meng noticed that Zhao Lu didn't come, it's fine if she didn't come, but the embarrassment would only increase if she met her.

As soon as Gu Meng entered the living room, Li Jie came up to greet her and embraced her: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you arrived? I'll pick you up at the door."

Gu Meng took Li Jie's arm away in displeasure: "No need."

Li Jie didn't care too much, and took Gu Meng to pay New Year's greetings to the old man of the Li family.

The Li family's enthusiasm for Gu Meng is much stronger than that of the Gu family. Gu Meng has lived for 18 years and received a red envelope from his elders for the first time during the Spring Festival.

Chinese New Year is of course eating Chinese food. The four families sit around a big round table, toasting and drinking.

It's just that some things seem to be different, and the younger generation is no longer as close as it used to be.

Fu Sichen blamed Li Jie and Lu Zijian in his heart, Fu Wanyin was also much colder towards Gu Rufeng, a good brother, Gu Ruolan was jealous of Gu Meng, and Lu Ziyan deliberately restrained his liking for Fu Sichen.

As for the "culprit", Gu Meng seemed to be unaware of it, and was concentrating on eating.

She hardly ate anything at Gu's house last night. She got up late this morning and missed the hotel's breakfast. She was really hungry.

Seeing this, Li Jie kept adding vegetables to Gu Meng's bowl. She ate with her head depressed, completely unaware that two pairs of eyes were sweeping past her from time to time.

Li Jie was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "I like to eat my mother's cooking so much? Why don't you get married quickly and let our mother cook for you every day."

Shen Man glanced at Li Jie upon hearing this.

Gu Meng almost spit out his mouth full of food.

She squinted at Li Jie, and warned with her eyes: Don't be a monster!

Seeing this, Sheng Xuemei smiled: "Xiao Jie, don't mess around, Gu Meng is still young, so we have to wait for her to graduate before talking about marriage."

"The legal marriage age for women stipulated by the state is 20 years old. There is no need to wait until graduation. We can organize the wedding when Gu Mengnian is in her junior year."

Gu Meng looked at Li Jie suspiciously, is he serious?

Li Tianlei took a look at Gu Cheng, and seeing that his expression was normal, he scolded softly: "You kid, why are you so anxious?"

Li Jie looked at the old man on the main seat, and twitched his mouth: "You are not in a hurry, but the old man is still waiting to hold his grandson."

Gu Cheng remained calm when he heard the words, but Fu Junshan laughed heartily.

Seeing Gu Meng's face blushing in embarrassment, the old man of the Li family didn't say anything, and laughed happily.

Gu Meng put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Li Jie with a serious expression, and said, "Sorry, Li Jie, I can't marry you."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was taken aback, and the bustling restaurant suddenly became quiet.

The two Fu family brothers who had ignored Gu Meng before also looked at her curiously.

Li Jie put down the red wine glass in his hand, and looked sideways at Gu Meng: "Gu Meng, you should also pay attention to the occasion when joking."

Li Jie's tone was no longer as gentle as before, and the eyes he looked at Gu Meng became sharper.

This matter must be settled, Gu Meng decided to cut the mess quickly.

She stood up and bowed deeply to the old man of the Li family and Li Tianlei and his wife.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't clarify to the elders in time before, which caused everyone to misunderstand."

"Gu Meng!" Li Jie suddenly slapped the table and shouted, trying to stop her from continuing.

But Gu Meng didn't care, she continued to say to herself: "From the very beginning, I didn't promise to be engaged to Li Jie, and I won't marry him either."

Li Tianlei and his wife were shocked when they heard the words, and Gu Cheng's face was also quite ugly: "Gu Meng, don't mess around!"

Gu Meng looked at Gu Cheng and sneered: "Father, I'm not fooling around, I'm serious."

"Presumptuous!" Gu Cheng couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and stared at Gu Meng and said: "The words of the matchmaker are not child's play!"

"Marriage is my own business, so I won't be at the mercy of others like my short-lived mother." Faced with Gu Cheng's reprimand, Gu Meng did not back down in the slightest.

"Good! Very good!" Gu Cheng was exposed in public and threatened angrily: "Gu Meng, if you dare to refuse the marriage, you will no longer be the daughter of my Gu family."

Seeing Gu Cheng say such serious words, Fu Junshan hurriedly stepped forward to mediate: "Ah Cheng, Gu Meng is still young and ignorant, don't be serious with her."

"Is she still young and ignorant?" Gu Cheng laughed back angrily, pointing to Gu Meng and said: "She has very stiff wings now, look at what crap things she has done recently, she... ...Why!"

Gu Cheng really didn't want to say what happened next, so he swung his hands behind his back, turned sideways and stopped looking at Gu Meng.

"Smelly girl, don't make father angry anymore." Gu Rufeng winked at Gu Meng desperately, but she ignored it.

Gu Meng smiled faintly, and repeated softly: "No longer the daughter of the Gu family."

Gu Meng nodded, and she uttered every word very clearly: "Please, please, no, please."

Hearing this, Gu Cheng suddenly turned his head, his eyes were scarlet, as if he wanted to swallow Gu Meng alive.

In my impression, Gu Meng has never seen Gu Cheng lose control so much, she was so angry that she pointed at her hand trembling: "You..."

Gu Cheng also doesn't care about etiquette and impoliteness now, he casually grabs the white wine glass on the table and throws it at Gu Meng's face.

Lu Zijian hastily reminded, "Be careful!"

Gu Meng was about to dodge, but Li Jie got up first and stopped the wine glass.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm!

Li Jie asked in a deep voice: "Gu Meng, you refuse to marry me, do you like someone else?"

Although Li Jie was asking Gu Meng, his eyes were fixed on Lu Zijian.

"No." Gu Meng replied simply.

Li Jie looked at Gu Cheng and said, "Uncle Gu, my wedding with Gu Meng is set on her 20th birthday."

His tone was calm but unmistakable.

Gu Meng didn't expect Li Jie to be such a rascal: "Li Jie, you..."

Li Jie suddenly slammed the white wine glass in his hand on the ground, the glass shattered on the ground with a "crack", splashed all over the place, and just bounced on Lu Ziyan's calf, causing her to scream.

Li Jie turned his head slightly, the profile of his face was sharp and cold, showing no emotion at all.

"If you want to refuse marriage, there's no way!" After he finished speaking, he kicked the stool away and left alone.

Gu Ruolan watched Li Jie's back disappear into the doorway, and there was a dark current in those beautiful eyes.
