Free Web NovelChapter 817: Chapter 817: Zhen Lingling’s Engagement to the Liu Family
An Mingji sat opposite, already finished with dinner, teasing Duoduo who was squatting beside him.
One person and one wolf were having a good time, except that Duoduo kept grumbling in annoyance.
Hearing the phone ring, An Mingji glanced up to look at Gu Jin sitting across.
The impatience on the other’s face was noted by him, and in his pair of pitch-black, peach blossom eyes, an unfathomable emotion flickered.
"Is it someone from the Zhen family?" he asked randomly.
Gu Jin appeared gentle but actually maintained a certain distance from anyone, deep down.
Yet she never showed obvious emotions on her face, except when dealing with the Zhen family.
Gu Jin casually responded, "Ignore them."
The voice was indifferent, carrying a cold, low tone.
"Ding!"
Just as she finished speaking, a text message arrived on the phone.
Gu Jin picked up the vegetable held between her chopsticks and brought it to her mouth, glancing casually at the phone.
Seeing the content displayed on the screen, her eyes widened involuntarily.
"Gu Jin, today is the seventieth birthday of the grand old man, which is also your sister’s engagement ceremony. We all hope you can attend..."
The rest of the content was unreadable as there were too many words to display.
Gu Jin squinted slightly, an indescribable emotion flickered in the depths of her eyes. She put down her chopsticks and picked up the phone to open the message.
"We know we’ve always wronged you, but today is different. Your mother, grandfather, brother, and sister all hope you can attend."
Zhen Lingling is getting engaged?
Gu Jin’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
In a past life, Zhen Lingling had two marriages. The first was like her own, marrying into the outskirts of Beijing’s government family. Their marriage was sweet for awhile.
Unfortunately, Zhen Lingling caused a ruckus, soon making a mess and being kicked out by her husband’s family, ending in divorce.
The second marriage was to a wealthy businessman, and although she continued her antics, she managed to rein it in a bit, the days were tolerable, though she would return home to cause a scene from time to time.
The businessman was a philanderer, with many affairs outside, living quite comfortably.
In a past life, Zhen Lingling was only considering marriage and engagement after the age of twenty.
Now she has just come of age and is about to have an engagement ceremony; it’s unclear who the man is.
Gu Jin held the phone, and her mind involuntarily conjured up thoughts of her nominal husband from a previous life.
Thinking of this possibility brought an inexplicable excitement and suppressed pleasure to her heart.
In a moment of impulse, she made the call.
"Hello, Gu Jin, we are at Saint No Hotel, are you coming?"
On the phone, Zhen Youzhi’s expectant and cautious voice asked.
Gu Jin’s pale fingers lightly tapped the table, casually asking, "Zhen Lingling is getting engaged?"
Zhen Youzhi seemed not to catch her distance, responded warmly, "Yes, Lingling is not young anymore, it’s time for an engagement."
"Who is the groom?"
Gu Jin’s breath unconsciously slowed down, waiting for the answer.
"The Liu family, very powerful in Beijing."
Zhen Youzhi didn’t elaborate, but from his tone, he seemed thoroughly pleased, which struck a chord with Gu Jin, leading her to curl the corners of her lips.
Good!
Very good!
This time around, Zhen Lingling was walking down her old path, set to marry into the Liu family.
In a previous life, she had endured twenty-five years of psychological torment; now it was the other’s turn to deeply experience it.
Just like how the Zhen siblings told her in a previous life, the Zhen family had raised her for many years, enjoying the blessings for so long, it was time for her to repay.
Even if it means being a dog, one must be grateful and remove their burdens.
