That evening.
At the Gu family home, around the dinner table.
Gu Tianming and Su Murong had come home early, which was unusual.
Looking at the table full of dishes, there were all sorts of delicacies including abalone and lobster.
Gu Yan's mouth twitched as he asked his parents, "Dad, Mom, what's the special occasion? Why so many dishes?"
"Sister Wang, just make a light soup and that'll be enough!" Su Murong called out to the kitchen.
"Yes, madam!"
Phew.
Gu Tianming and Su Murong exchanged glances, both seeing in each other's eyes the message: "Honey, you say it."
Finally, under Su Murong's threatening gaze, Gu Tianming reluctantly looked at Gu Yan and said, "Yan, I know you're disappointed, but it's okay."
"There are so many young ladies from good families in Jianghai City. As long as you don't go back to Shen Wan'er, we can discuss anything else."
Seeing that Gu Tianming had spoken up, Su Murong put a piece of braised pork on Gu Yan's plate and said, "Yes, Yan, just like your father said, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why fixate on just one?"
"Mom will find someone better for you!"
"Like those from the Bai Family, Tang Family, Zhuge Family..."
"Your dad will take care of it all!"
Hearing this, Gu Tianming's eyelid twitched: "Hey... how can I possibly... Ouch!"
Su Murong retracted her fingers from pinching Gu Tianming's thigh, then looked tenderly at Gu Yan: "As long as you like her, Yan, your dad can help you propose. And if he doesn't, your mom will help you!"
Su Murong wasn't just making this up. The Su Family was a top-tier family in the Capital City. When Su Murong married Gu Tianming, it could be said that he had married up.
Gu Yan found the conversation increasingly absurd. He quickly waved his hands and looked at Gu Tianming and Su Murong in confusion: "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"
"I've already proposed to Qingqiu. We're practically engaged. How could I possibly look for another woman?"
Gu Tianming and Su Murong hadn't yet processed this: "Yes, Yan, it's because Leng Qingqiu is blind, so you felt disappointed and with... withdrew... proposed??"
As they were speaking, they suddenly froze.
"Wait a minute?"
"Proposed?!"
"Practically engaged?!"
Su Murong's vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.
Gu Tianming's mouth gaped open, looking at Gu Yan in disbelief: "You... didn't break off the engagement with the Leng Family??"
Seeing this scene, Gu Yan finally understood what was going on with these two.
They thought he would break off the engagement after seeing that Leng Qingqiu was blind!
Realizing this, Gu Yan looked at the two of them exasperatedly and said, "Yes, Qingqiu and I hit it off immediately. It was love at first sight for me!"
"I can't wait to take care of her, let alone break off the engagement!"
"Dad, Mom, please don't go around trying to set me up with anyone else!"
As he spoke, Gu Yan started using his chopsticks, eating and talking: "I'm going to find an auspicious date to announce my engagement to Leng Qingqiu of the Leng Family!"
Boom!
Su Murong felt like her brain had been struck by lightning.
Oh my god! Son, you just got over Shen Wan'er! Now you're with a blind girl!
You! You're simply! Simply going to...
No, wait!
Su Murong's expression changed, and she glared at Gu Tianming beside her. [This is all because you went to talk about the engagement!!]
Gu Tianming immediately understood Su Murong's meaning and responded sheepishly with his eyes. [Wasn't it you who told me to go?]
[That's because you said it was fine, that Yan would definitely break off the engagement!]
[Well... I didn't know the kid had changed his ways...]
[You're not sleeping in the bed tonight!]
[What?!]
Gu Tianming admitted defeat, hanging his head as he picked at his food.
Su Murong also angrily ate her food in silence.
Gu Yan looked at his parents and smiled helplessly.
Just then.
[Gu Yan, are you there? Gu Yan, are you there? Gu Yan, are you there?]
A unique ringtone sounded at the dinner table.
Gu Yan was startled, wondering what this strange ringtone was, seemingly coming from his pocket.
He took out his phone and suddenly remembered.
Oh! Right, Shen Wan'er had once sent Gu Yan a voice message.
Then Gu Yan had excitedly set this voice as Shen Wan'er's special ringtone.
Gu Tianming and Su Murong immediately perked up, shifting their gaze to Gu Yan's phone. The caller ID showed [The Person I Like].
Gulp.
The two exchanged glances, both holding their breath to avoid making any sound.
They looked at Gu Yan with some concern.
Although Gu Yan had said he no longer liked Shen Wan'er.
Who knew if it was really true? Even though their son hadn't gone to see Shen Wan'er for three days, now that she was actively calling, they were truly afraid their son might revert to his old ways.
"Don't look at me like that, I really have no interest in Shen Wan'er anymore."
Gu Yan nonchalantly pressed the [Reject] button in front of Gu Tianming and Su Murong.
And then proceeded to block and delete the contact in one go.
!!
Seeing this, Gu Tianming and Su Murong were shocked.
"Son! You're serious?!"
Gu Tianming was astounded. He had originally thought it was just a passing phase and that he would quickly revert to being Shen Wan'er's devoted follower, but he never expected this!
It was unimaginable!
"Of course! Dad, Mom! This time I've truly changed my ways! I'm ready to settle down and have a good life with Qingqiu!"
"I hope you won't look down on Qingqiu just because she's blind. She's a good girl."
Gu Yan said sincerely and earnestly.
This tone made Gu Tianming and Su Murong feel that Gu Yan was serious!
This look in his eyes was completely different from the childish expression and tone he had when pursuing Shen Wan'er!
After a long moment.
Gu Tianming laughed out loud: "Hahaha, do as you like. After all, it's just one more pair of chopsticks at home!"
Su Murong also nodded helplessly: "Since you've already proposed, Yan, let it be so."
In fact, Su Murong essentially still hoped that Gu Yan would find someone of equal social status. If not equal status, at least someone physically normal.
Gu Yan understood that Su Murong couldn't accept it right away, but he was certainly not going to give up on Leng Qingqiu.
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Murong: "Thank you, Mom."
Su Murong was stunned. Thank... you?
Her son actually said thank you?
She suddenly felt a warm current flow through her heart.
Then, Gu Yan looked at Gu Tianming and smiled, "Thank you, Dad. I was immature before and caused you a lot of trouble."
Gu Tianming's breath caught, and he looked away, coughing dryly: "Ahem, it's good that you've changed now."
Wow! What kind of miraculous daughter-in-law is this! How did she make our son so polite?!
Just for this alone, Gu Tianming approved of this daughter-in-law he had never met!
Meanwhile, at another restaurant.
"Hello, ladies, you've been here for an hour now."
"May I ask if you're ready to pay the bill?"
The restaurant owner, having heard the situation, approached Shen Wan'er and her friends with the bill, smiling on the surface but internally feeling contemptuous and disdainful.
These three had arrived several hours ago and ordered a lot of food. When the food came, they just kept taking photos.
When asked to pay the bill, they all said they didn't have enough money.
Huh, just a bunch of fake socialites taking photos.
"Wan'er, did... did Gu Yan hang up on you?" Xie Baiwei and Wu Lili swallowed hard, asking in disbelief.
"Maybe... maybe he's busy..." Shen Wan'er's face looked troubled as she stared at the ended call.
Then she raised her head to look at her two best friends, asking hesitantly, "Baiwei, Lili, you really didn't bring any money?"
When they were ordering, Shen Wan'er had asked if they were ordering too much.
However, both of them said it was fine, that they could eat it all.
But in the end, they hardly ate anything, just took photos.
When the bill came, it was actually 133,000 yuan, because Xie Baiwei had opened a bottle of wine worth 100,000 yuan for the atmosphere in the photos.
A meal costing 133,000 yuan was naturally something they couldn't afford.
That's why the two had encouraged Shen Wan'er to call Gu Yan.
The goal was to have Gu Yan come and pay the bill.
But unexpectedly, Gu Yan actually dared to hang up the phone!

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
