"Xiao Li, es raro que todos nos juzgemos en una cena familiar. No digas nada contra él, ahora la empresa está bajo el control de Jing Shen, y con una empresa tan grande, ¿cómo no estaría ocupado?" Qiu Lihua estaba más feliz que un pájaro al ver a su nieto volver; odiaba escuchar a alguien decirle algo malo.
"Madre, lo hice por el bienestar de Jing Shen. Dices que todo el día está trabajando y ya es muy mayor para no tener novia. ¿No te ha hecho sentir preocupada?" Xusuli knew that Jingshen's grandparents adored him and quickly explained to make her mother-in-law understand what she meant.
Qiu Lihua was stunned for a moment before shifting her gaze towards Jingshen: "Didn't you tell your mother?"
The words barely left her mouth when Xusuli got lost in thought: "What did I say?"
Both Gu Youren and the elder Gu turned their attention to Jingshen.
Jingshen had intended to find an appropriate opportunity to reveal his relationship with Su Xinyi, but it seemed that he couldn't wait anymore.
"Jing Shen, has something happened at your company?" Ge Derong didn't think about anything else; he thought that his grandson was facing some trouble and was too worried to tell the family.
"No, grandfather. The company is fine now; this is my personal matter," Jingshen explained hastily to prevent his grandfather from getting anxious.
"What could it be then?" Xusuli looked at Jingshen with a clearly tense expression and a faint feeling of bad news.
Jingshen took a deep breath before speaking firmly: "I got married."
Xusuli dropped the chopsticks, making a clear sound when they hit the floor.
"Got married?!" Gu Youren was equally shocked. How could Jing Shen decide on such a big matter so casually?
"Indeed," Xusuli took a long time to process this and even doubted if she had heard correctly; how did he suddenly get married without anyone's knowledge?
"Who is that woman? Jing Shen, you didn't fall for her tricks, did you?" Xusuli stood up excitedly. The impact of the news was too great.
Qiu Lihua sighed, her tone tinged with a hint of reproach: "Jingshen, how could you be so careless? I thought you had already told your parents about this. Now, everyone is taken by surprise."
Xusuli stared incredulously at Qiu Lihua: "Mother, do you know that Jing Shen got married? Why didn't you stop him? Marriage is such a big matter; why was it decided so casually? What's her family like and what kind of person is she? Our Gu family will not settle for just anyone; everyone in the family must be satisfied."
Thinking about Yuenaijiao as an excellent daughter-in-law who had been lost, Xusuli felt heartache that made her gasp for breath.
"Oh, the girl is great in every way. I have already checked on her, and it was me who introduced her to Jing Shen. You can trust me; besides, he only needs to be happy with his wife," Qiu Lihua nudged Ge Derong with her elbow.
Ge Derong, who had kept silent, suddenly felt compelled to speak: "Indeed, we should trust Jingshen. The person he has chosen will definitely not disappoint us."
"Father, why do you say that? Marriage is such a big matter; how could you let him act recklessly?" Xusuli was at a loss and turned her hope towards Gu Youren.
