Xing Chen is a person who, let alone the little Gu Beichuan, even in the whole A City, few dare to go against him.
Ran Zhonghai did not understand why Li Guoliang was interested in this matter, and he spoke so much in favor of Ran Xiangsi. However, since Li Guoliang had already spoken, he couldn’t disregard Li Guoliang’s face, so he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Director Li is right, I..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Beichuan was displeased, his face darkening suddenly, "Uncle Ran, does this mean you want to break off the engagement? This marriage has been settled a long time ago, do you want to mess with the Gu Family?"
In front of Li Guoliang, Gu Beichuan still acted as a junior and called Ran Zhonghai ’uncle’.
But his later words were quite impolite.
Ran Zhonghai’s old face couldn’t hold up at all, "This... of course not, how could we break the engagement? Our Ran Family being able to marry into the Gu Family is truly a blessing from three lifetimes ago!"
"Hmph!" Gu Beichuan sneered, looking every bit the spoiled rich kid. Google seaʀᴄh NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
This made Li Guoliang even more confused, "Zhonghai, when did your family become in-laws with the Gu Family? Let me advise you, Xiangsi absolutely cannot marry into the Gu Family, otherwise there will be big trouble!"
No matter which way he looked at it, Ran Zhonghai was utterly confused!
He felt his head spinning, and turned to glance at Fang Biqin, using his eyes to ask for her opinion.
Fang Biqin was also at a complete loss, not expecting Li Guoliang to suddenly interfere in their family matters, and it would be difficult to refuse him directly.
With Gu Beichuan present, offending anyone would be a loss of face for both parties.
After thinking for a while, Fang Biqin smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Director Li, you may not know, but this marriage between the Ran Family and the Gu Family was agreed upon a long time ago, we can’t unilaterally back out now."
As soon as Fang Biqin spoke, Ran Zhonghai pretended to scold her, "Biqin, don’t say too much. Director Li will surely have his own judgment."
After saying this, he turned to Li Guoliang with an apologetic look, "Director Li, my wife just can’t hold her tongue, please don’t mind her."
"No, no." Li Guoliang waved his hand, indicating it wasn’t a big deal, but the wrinkles on his forehead still hadn’t smoothed out. "The engagement may have been settled long ago, but Xiangsi absolutely cannot marry into the Gu Family! What should we do now..."
Li Guoliang’s words sounded like he was asking himself, yet also asking Ran Zhonghai.
No one at the table expected Li Guoliang to be so persistent.
Ran Zhonghai was bewildered; even he, Xiangsi’s father, had just met her, yet Li Guoliang seemed to have known her for a long time?
Gu Beichuan’s face turned from green to white, listening to this old man spouting nonsense, feeling an urge to punch him! Why couldn’t Ran Xiangsi marry him?
To be honest, he really was quite taken with that girl!
Fang Biqin and Ran Yingqian exchanged a glance, both showing deep confusion in their eyes.
At this moment, the previously closed door opened again.
This time, besides the manager, two other people entered.
Ran Xiangsi, holding onto Xing Chen’s arm, walked in slowly, providing a free but enlightening suggestion to everyone at the table, "This is simple! Let Qianqian marry into the Gu Family, won’t that perfectly solve the problem?"
