When Jiang Tan called again, there was a busy tone on the line. It was very likely that her number had been blocked!

This is really a bit puzzling. I have never heard of any news of marriage between the Gu family and anyone? Besides, with Gu Junchuan's physique, if he hadn't met me, it would be a question whether he could survive this year. How could he suddenly have a fiancée?

There happened to be someone in the store who might know the inside story...

When she came to the front, Gu Nanyiyi was really looking at the information Jiang Tan left for her carefully, and it seemed that she was seriously memorizing the information in it.

Jiang Tan nodded with satisfaction. This young lady’s work attitude seemed okay for now.

"Nan Yi, I just called your brother and a woman who claimed to be his fiancée answered the phone. Do you know what happened?"

Gu Nanyi, who was silently memorizing the information, stood up abruptly upon hearing this, threw the information in his hand aside, walked over quickly, grabbed Jiang Tan, and said nervously: "My brother definitely doesn't know about this, don't be angry with my brother for this, this is just my parents' wishful thinking!"

Jiang Tan felt a little uncomfortable with his arm being tightly held by Gu Nanyiyi, so he stretched out his other hand and gently pushed her, trying to free his arm.

However, Gu Nanyiyi mistakenly thought that she was angry, and instead held her arms even tighter!

"Well, I'm not angry. Just relax and tell me what's going on." Jiang Tan realized that his body language was misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

Gu Nanyi looked at Jiang Tan carefully again, feeling uneasy. Seeing that she really didn't seem angry, she asked uncertainly, "Are you really not angry with my brother?"

Jiang Tan looked at her with amusement. He didn't expect that this half-sister was so nervous about her brother.

"I'm really not angry. The matter hasn't been clarified yet. Why should I be angry? Don't read romance novels all the time. It's not good for you."

Seeing that Jiang Tan was still in the mood to tease her, he must be really not angry. Gu Nanyiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her tightly clasped hands. However, she still stayed closer to Jiang Tan, fearing that he would be unhappy and go to her brother to settle the score!

His brother has suffered enough over the years, and now he finally likes someone. She has to help his brother keep that person!

"I also found out last night... when I went out and passed by my parents' bedroom, and heard them chatting." Gu Nanyiyi paused and almost let it slip that she had sneaked out of the house.

"It seems that Gu's company has had some problems recently. My dad wants to win over those directors for the sake of equity. I seem to have heard that Uncle Deng holds the largest number of shares in the company now, so my dad promised that if Mr. Deng fully supports him, he will agree to a marriage between the two families and hand over Gu's company to their children in the future!" At this point, Gu Nanyiyi curled her lips in disdain. Her dad's words were really a big blank check!

"Who knew that Fatty Deng was also greedy and actually agreed to the old man's suggestion. The two families plan to find a date in the near future to make this matter public."

Jiang Tan frowned and asked in confusion: "As far as I know, your brother's body is so broken that families with daughters should avoid him, right?" She was not polite at all. In front of the man's sister, she directly said that the man's brother's body was like rags.

Gu Nanyi glanced at Jiang Tan with some displeasure. Who said her brother was incompetent? But she didn't have the courage to get angry with Jiang Tan directly. After all, her brother's life was still in his hands. She could only sulk by herself!

"Hmph, that old guy is taking advantage of my brother's poor health and the fact that he won't live long, so he lets his daughter get pregnant quickly. By then, whether my brother lives or dies will have nothing to do with them!" Gu Nanyiyi felt so angry when he thought of this!

Jiang Tan nodded to show that he understood. It seemed that, apart from Gu Junchuan, it was a win-win situation for Gu Chengan and Mr. Deng!

However, have these people never thought about how this matter will proceed if the person involved is unwilling?

"Does your father have any leverage over your brother?" Jiang Tan couldn't help but gossip.

Seeing Jiang Tan looking like he was listening to someone else's story, Gu Nanyiyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is being forced into marriage, why are you acting like nothing happened?"

"Then what reaction do you want me to have? Describe it and I'll see if I can act it out!" Jiang Tan also felt that she seemed a little heartless, but she really didn't feel anything. Don't look at Gu Junchuan's "weak" appearance, he is not a rag doll who can be manipulated by others. Otherwise, with what he has experienced over the years, if it were someone else, the grass on his grave would probably be very tall.

Jiang Tan's look made Gu Nanyi speechless. Why did she feel like she was the one whose boyfriend was going to be stolen away?

Seeing Gu Nanyi rolling her eyes, Jiang Tan burst out laughing and stopped teasing her. "Okay, I know your brother is innocent. I'm going to catch him in the act... Oh no, I'm going to ask him about it!"

Seeing Gu Nanyiyi’s face turn red all of a sudden, Jiang Tan quickly swallowed the words “caught in adultery”. He didn’t expect that such a cool-looking girl was actually a “brother-con”.

"Humph, my brother is not the kind of scumbag who plays two women at the same time." Gu Nanyiyi knew that Jiang Tan was teasing her, but she still couldn't help but defend her brother!

"Okay, you watch the store. It's almost noon. I'm going to give your brother a loving lunch. The seafood in the restaurant your brother took me to before is really good. How about I order some more seafood for your brother?" Thinking about the last time he had a great meal with lobster, Jiang Tan felt that his saliva was watering again.

"My brother can't eat seafood, he is allergic to it!" Gu Nanyiyi quickly grabbed Jiang Tan, fearing that if she was a step late, her brother would be "poisoned" by her.

Jiang Tan was startled, and staggered when Gu Nanyi pulled him without warning. He asked hesitantly, "Is your brother allergic to all seafood? Or only to certain seafood?"

Gu Nanyi didn't expect that her hand would be so strong, so she quickly let go of her hand and said awkwardly, "Well, my brother inherited his mother's allergy to all seafood. And he is not only allergic to food, but if he accidentally touches seafood juice, small red bumps will appear on his body, which are extremely itchy!"

Jiang Tan's heart was filled with mixed emotions, as if the seasoning had been spilled. No wonder he didn't touch any seafood the last time they had dinner together. However, it was Gu Junchuan who peeled the shells for him the whole time. Then what about him...

“Come on, there is still some time. Tell me what your brother can eat and what he cannot eat, what your brother likes and dislikes, and everything you know about your brother!” Jiang Tan pulled Gu Nanyiyi to the front desk and picked up paper and pen. In this budding relationship, it seemed that Gu Junchuan invested more, so from now on, she would get to know her boyfriend better!
