She touched her growling stomach, then grabbed her phone to take a look. It’s already half past 11!
Thinking about how she was about to head to the guillotine at two o’clock in the afternoon, Zhuang Nainai was startled. She quickly washed herself and was about to go eat when she saw… Gu Deshou, Gu Xinghao, and Gu Xingshan were sitting downstairs. The three of them had packed properly and were eating at the dining table.
Seeing Zhuang Nainai, Gu Deshou suddenly waved. “Qingyan, quickly come and eat. In a bit, I will send you to the Civil Affairs Bureau together with your brother and sister.”
Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt irritable. Did she need to be escorted to the guillotine?
Forget it, she’ll take things as they go!
Zhuang Nainai looked up and saw a table of dishes. When she walked over to sit down, after the nanny scooped rice for her, she began to wolf down her food.
No matter what happens, she needed to eat her fill. Only then will she have the strength to fight!
Upon seeing how she was acting, the three Gu’s looked at each other.
Gu Xinghao c.o.c.ked his eye at Gu Xingshan: From the way she’s eating, it doesn’t look like she’s at a loss. Maybe you’re wrong?
Gu Xingshan furrowed her brows, pouting at Gu Xinghao: We’ll see about that!
They finished eating at 12 o’clock. Gu Deshou was driving. There wasn’t a traffic jam at all, so they only used an hour to get to the designated Civil Affairs Bureau.
As they were early, they sat in the seats along the hallway to wait.
1:30 p.m.
Gu Xingshan and Gu Xinghao stretched their necks to look outside. “Why is Mr. Si not here yet?”
Gu Deshou leisurely replied, “There’s still half an hour, what’s the rush?”
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head to stare at the time on her phone.
1:50 p.m.
Gu Xingshan already started smiling. “Sis, why aren’t you worried at all? Are you sure Mr. Si will come or not?”
Gu Deshou was a little anxious, tightly pursing his lips.
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fist but continued staring at her phone, not saying a word.
1:55 p.m.
Gu Deshou was already unable to sit still. He stood up, walking to and fro. From time to time, he walked to the entrance to look outside through the gla.s.s door.
1:59 p.m.
Gu Deshou fiercely rushed in front of Zhuang Nainai. “Qingyan, what’s going on?”
Gu Xingshan jeeringly said, “Dad, this is so obvious, do you need to ask? Mr. Si thinks she isn’t worthy!”
Gu Xinghao leaned over. “I say Gu Qingyan, the marriage news on the news, is it real or fake? Can’t you say something? Are you mute?”
“Bro, do you still need to ask? It’s definitely fake. Mr. Si isn’t coming, that shows that he’s angry!” After saying this, she anxiously looked towards Gu Deshou. “Dad, we are finished! She tricked Mr. Si, will Mr. Si take out his anger on our Gu Corporation?!”
Upon hearing words from the two people, Gu Deshou’s face immediately turned livid. He stretched out his hand to tightly clutch Zhuang Nainai’s hand. “Gu Qingyan, say, what the h.e.l.l is going on?!”
What’s going on?
Zhuang Nainai looked down at her cell phone, watching as the time on the screen turned from 1:59 to 2:00 p.m.
Her heart suddenly felt empty.
Zhuang Nainai smiled slightly, giving a self-deprecating expression.
She could’ve told them the truth before coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but she still came.
So… Zhuang Nainai, what are you hoping for?
How could he marry her?
One blow after another, was it not enough?
She fiercely jerked her head up, staring at Gu Deshou’s eyes. “Fine, you asked me what’s going on, I’ll tell you…”
Just then, the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau was suddenly pushed open by someone!
