Gu Yundong did not say anything else and let him slowly digest this information.
For the rest of the journey, Gu Dajiang was very silent. His depressed mood only gradually improved the next day.
The dead had already passed away, and the living had to continue.
Although he didn’t know where Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu were and how they were doing, Gu Dajiang knew that they were definitely still alive. They would meet eventually.
He tried his best to put aside those negative emotions. At the thought that he was about to see his wife and children, his mood finally improved.
But when he saw that Gu Yundong looked like she had something to say, Gu Dajiang1 s eyebrows could not help but twitch.
“What other bad news do you have for me?”
There shouldn’t be any left, right? He was only concerned about his eldest sister and younger brother now. His own family was all around him. Yundong had already told him what was going on.
Gu Yundong thought for a moment. “Actually, it’s not bad news.”
“Then tell me.”
“Well, actually, before I found Father, I was… engaged.”
“What?” Gu Dajiang suddenly jumped up and hit his head on the carriage roof.
With a bang, Gu Dajiang grimaced and covered his head. He glared at Gu Yundong angrily. “Say that again. What did you do?”
Gu Yundong quickly helped him up. She was afraid that if he moved too abruptly, his head would not be the only thing injured.
However, when she met Gu Dajiang’s widened eyes, she could only say softly again, “I’m engaged?”
Why did it sound like a question? Could it be that if he said no, she would immediately deny it?
“Why are you engaged? How old are you? Do you know what kind of person the other party is? Don’t you know that people can be sinister, especially since you’re good-looking and rich? Who knows if the other party has ulterior motives? His family is also insensible. Your mother hasn’t recovered from her illness, and your father hasn’t been found, and yet they came to propose marriage. They’re bullying you for being young and ignorant without an elder to take care of you. No, I don’t agree to this marriage.”
The more Gu Dajiang spoke, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he felt that the other party was not a good person.
He felt like his heart was about to explode. His beautiful little cabbage had been stolen by a pig just like that?
Ridiculous, ridiculous!!
Gu Yundong knew that he would have such a reaction. She laughed dryly and whispered, “Father, it’s just an engagement. An engagement…”
“So it can be canceled?”
Gu Yundong was speechless. No, what she meant was that they planned to wait until Mother’s illness was cured and Father was found before getting married.
Gu Dajiang snorted coldly. “We have to discuss the matter of canceling the engagement slowly. We can’t be hasty. Most importantly, we can’t ruin your reputation. Let’s think about it later. It’s best if the other party makes a mistake.”
Gu Yundong’s eyes widened. I did not expect you to be such a father.
No, she had never thought of canceling the engagement.
“Father, Brother Shao is a good person. When I first started doing business, he was the one who gave me the capital.”
“Alright, and you said that he’s not bullying you because you’re young and ignorant. He wanted you to owe him a favor and guilt you into marrying him. It’s all an old trick. I stopped playing this one more than ten years ago.”
Gu Yundong rubbed her forehead. Father, have I been acting very ignorant these days?
Was this the meaning of father-in-law becoming more and more displeased with his son-in-law?
Hmm? Stopped playing this one more than ten years ago? Could it be that her father had used it before?
Gu Yundong’s suspicious gaze landed on Gu Dajiang. She wanted to ask him how he got together with her mother back then.
