Chapter 2101: I Don’t Plan to Get Married Now
“Let me do it.” At this moment, Shen Rou, who had been silent all this while, stood up. She looked at Gong Zeli and said calmly, “Zeli, my mom and Aunt Gong mean that our families are going to have a marriage alliance.
“This is what the other elders of the two families think. Aunt Gong and my mom have asked for my opinion. I think I can accept this suggestion. If you don’t object, we can get married as soon as possible.”
Madam Gong looked at Gong Zeli nervously.
“Marriage?” Gong Zeli narrowed his eyes.
“Yes, a marriage.” Shen Rou smiled and said softly, “With the current situation of the Gong and Shen families, I think a marriage between the two families is good. This is beneficial to both our families. Moreover, we grew up together and know each other very well. I think we’re suitable to be together.”
“Yes, yes.” Madam Gong immediately added, “Zeli, you and Rourou grew up together, and you like her so much. Haven’t you always wanted to marry Rourou? Now that our families are connected by marriage, you can marry Rourou too. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?
“I’ve checked the time with your Aunt Shen. If you don’t have any objections, you can get married next month. The time is a little rushed, but our Gong family definitely won’t mistreat Rourou. No matter how rushed, we’ll give her a grand wedding.
“Yes, there’s a very good time next month. We’ve checked with the feng shui master. This year, the time next month is the best.”
Gong Zeli listened to them talk about it as if the marriage had already been decided. He couldn’t help but laugh out of anger. “Who said I have no objections? You’ve already taken me for granted?”
Madam Gong and Madam Shen were chatting happily about the wedding next month when their expressions changed.
They both turned to look at Gong Zeli.
Shen Rou’s expression changed slightly, but she still maintained a smile as she looked at him.
“Zeli, are you unwilling?” Madam Gong looked a little surprised.
She knew that Gong Zeli had liked Shen Rou for many years.
Previously, she was looking forward to the marriage alliance between the Gong and Shen families.
But at that time, it was her son who kept chasing after her daughter. Her daughter was unwilling.
After the Shen family fell, Madam Gong naturally didn’t like Shen Rou anymore. That was why she wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Shangguan family.
But Gong Zeli wasn’t interested in Shangguan Qing.
Even if Madam Gong wanted a marriage alliance, she couldn’t force her son to marry.
Moreover, Mo Yesi found out about what she did with Shangguan Qing.
The Shangguan family was also down on their luck now. They were no longer Madam Gong’s ideal marriage partner.
On the contrary, the Shen family, which was previously on the verge of bankruptcy, was now getting better by the day. In Madam Gong’s heart, the Shen family had become the best marriage partner.
Madam Gong thought that this marriage was a sure thing.
Gong Zeli definitely wouldn’t object.
Hence, she and Madam Gong decided on the date of the marriage.
But now, looking at Gong Zeli’s reaction, Madam Gong felt uneasy.
“Mm, I’m not willing.” Under the three pairs of eyes, Gong Zeli said without hesitation, “I don’t have any plans to get married now. Aunt Shen, you’d better go to other families and ask if they have plans to marry.
“I won’t join in the fun.”
