MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 13 Episode 9

“Gu Jingyu!” Mu Wanqing continued, “We’ve been looking for you for so long. You didn’t come home even though you came back. I can’t believe you were hiding somewhere else.”

“Mother, how did you know that I was here…”

Mu Wanqing ran after him. “Come here.”

“Mother… I won’t go home. I mean it…”

“That won’t do.”

“I…”

“The An family’s heiress waited for you three times, but you stood her up every time. Get over here. I’m telling you, you won’t be able to run away this time.”

“I don’t want to get married…”

“You must go and meet her even if you don’t want to get married! Hey, Gu Jingyu, it can’t be true that you like men, right?”

“…” Disbelief was written all over Gu Jingyu’s face.

Mu Wanqing said, “Even if you like men, you can bring a man home… Everything is negotiable.”

“Mother, that’s enough. Stop talking. I’ll go home and meet Miss An.”

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing smiled. “Sure, sure. Follow me back home now. We can discuss everything else another time.”

Gu Jingze looked on from the side with a cold expression. Gu Jingyu literally wanted to die. He glared at Gu Jingze. “Second Brother!”

If Gu Jingze had not told on him, how could the Gu family have known that Gu Jingyu was here?

If Gu Jingze intended to keep it under wraps, he would be an impenetrable iron bastion, unless he wanted to leak the news.

Just like that, Gu Jingyu was brought back home.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. With her hand on her chest, she asked, “What’s going on? How did the family find out about it?”

Gu Jingze said, “Maybe he was in the news and the family found out about it. Since he wouldn’t go elsewhere, I would be the only one to take him in. But it would be good for him to go back and learn his place too.”

Lin Che sighed. “He’s really pitiful.”

Gu Jingze wound his arm around her. “Alright. Let’s go back and rest.”

The glint in his eyes vanished.

He smiled and went inside.

Because Gu Jingyu had been brought back, the family told Gu Jingyu and Lin Che to visit them with the children.

They said that the An family’s heiress was coming over for a blind date with Gu Jingyu.

Gu Jingze explained to Lin Che, “An Lan and Gu Jingyu had met each other before when they were children. But at the time, An Lan was still too young. She may not even remember it. Back then, our families were intimate and close friends. Because Grandfather was indebted to them for their kindness, he treated her very well. But their family later moved to America. They’ve been living in America since then.”

“I see… In that case, why must the two of them get married now?” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze said, “Because our family owes them a debt of gratitude. The An family hopes that the two families can be related by marriage. The debt will be paid off that way.”

“Ah…”

“Jingyu is the only one in our family who is still not married, so he’s the only one who can go.”

“If that’s the case… Gu Jingyu’s situation is really quite pitiful.”

“So you want me to go?” Gu Jingze looked at her.

Seeing this, Lin Che quickly hugged him and said, “Of course not.”

Gu Jingze scoffed and turned his head away.

How dare she pity another man?

Even if this man was his younger brother.

Lin Che immediately understood the meaning in his gaze.

As to whether Gu Jingze was angry, worried, or jealous, she was able to seize on it very accurately.

For instance, judging by the expression on his face right now, he was definitely jealous.

She laughed mischievously with her arm around him and said, “Gu Jingze.” She leaned into his side and clung onto his arm with both hands, placing her chin on his shoulder. “Look, you’re already better than Gu Jingyu in every aspect. You’re more handsome, taller, sexier, and you look more attractive than him… Now, you even have a beautiful wife like me, but he has no one. He even has to go on a blind date with someone he doesn’t know. How pitiful…”

Gu Jingze looked at her. She was so good at flattering him.

Lin Che smiled even wider and asked him, “Don’t you think I’m right?”

Gu Jingze bopped her on the head. She leaned forward and pecked him lightly on the corner of his lips.

However, unbeknownst to her, a car had stopped by the road.

Through the car window, the person downstairs could see the two of them being intimate inside.

An Lan could not help but ask, “Who’s that?”

Putting aside the fact that the car had driven straight in, the people in the house did not have the slightest scruple.

Hadn’t they told her that the Gu family had many rules?

When she had entered, the people from her family had even earnestly advised her to pay attention to etiquette.

But now, this person was not behaving properly at all. He was intimate with someone else just like that.

Beside her, someone hastily said, “Miss, stop looking. Stop looking. That’s the head of the Gu family, Gu Jingze.”

An Lan was even more surprised. “Ha. The head of the household is so audacious?”

“I heard that he dotes on his wife. That’s why they behaved in that manner.”

“Is that so…” Later on, An Lan saw the two of them holding hands as they walked down the stairs. He looked down at Lin Che and gently tidied her collar. He was reprimanding her with a tight expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with tenderness.

As for the woman beside him, her eyes crinkled in a smile. She looked extremely blissful.

The men of the Gu family…

Did not seem to be as cruel as the rumors said.

She felt that a man who treated his woman so gently would definitely be a good person.

An Lan could not help but look forward to meeting Gu Jingyu soon.

Although he had stood her up a few times, she would forgive his past slights if he was also such a good person.

Despite knowing that he was a celebrity, also knowing what he looked like, having looked up his films to watch, she had met many celebrities who were completely different in private. So, she had to meet him to understand him.

Meanwhile, Lin Che saw the Young Miss of the An family, who had just come in.

She said, “Even though she’s from America, she looks quite classic.”

Gu Jingze nodded. “Their family runs an Overseas Chinese City over there. They’ve been staying in the Overseas Chinese City for many years. Over there, more than 70 percent of the shares in the city belongs to them. So at times, their family actually understands tradition better than people here. Because in reality, many of the overseas Chinese in the past preserved many of the traditions.”

“Oh, so that’s why.”

A city made up of more than 70 percent overseas Chinese…

She herself knew how big an Overseas Chinese City could be.

Forget other places. The one in Seattle was so.

So many places were controlled by their family. It seemed as if their family’s power was by no means insignificant.

But a family that could cause the Gu family to owe them a debt of gratitude, was most likely an important one.

With these thoughts, Lin Che headed inside with Gu Jingze.

As the agenda today was Gu Jingyu’s blind date, they naturally went to the back first, leaving the entire space to Gu Jingyu.

An Lan came in and immediately saw Gu Jingyu inside, seated properly.

This time, he finally did not stand her up.

She could not have known that Gu Jingyu had actually wanted to escape yesterday but had failed. Now, he had no choice but to be held hostage here as he waited for An Lan to arrive.

After getting caught at Lin Che’s yesterday, he was so angry that he agreed to this because Mu Wanqing had said that he liked men. It was only after coming home that he regretted his moment of impulse.
