Free Web NovelChapter 1940: Chapter 1940: The Shameless Ling Family Members
Several members of the Gu Family were silent for a moment, and finally, the elder aunt spoke, "Was the Patriarch of the Ling Family just referring to the second brother-in-law?"
Before the Patriarch of the Ling Family could respond, the elder aunt turned to Yu Shuling and said, "I seem to have heard that the Ling Family canceled the engagement with our family, is that merely a rumor?"
Yu Shuling immediately replied, "It’s not a rumor, it’s true."
Upon hearing this, the elder aunt muttered under her breath, "I see, I thought I heard wrong." Then, she turned to the Patriarch of the Ling Family, "In that case, Patriarch of the Ling Family, you should use a different term from now on."
The Patriarch of the Ling Family, upon hearing this, his face turned from blue to white, somewhat regretting addressing them as in-laws.
But quickly, the Patriarch of the Ling Family found an excuse for himself, "My mistake, I was used to calling you that, and for a moment, I couldn’t change it."
Hearing this, Gu Changchuan rolled his eyes silently, he didn’t recall this guy ever calling him in-law before.
"Do you have any business?" Gu Changchuan smiled kindly at the three of them, appearing very approachable.
However, the Patriarch of the Ling Family knew that his heart was far from kind.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken away their family’s business.
Still, although he knew Gu Changchuan’s true nature, the Patriarch of the Ling Family couldn’t say anything, so he looked at them and said, "I’ve come today to apologize to you all."
As soon as the Patriarch of the Ling Family spoke, Gu Changchuan immediately responded, "Oh? Why does the Patriarch of the Ling Family say that?"
"Why apologize all of a sudden?"
Listening to Gu Changchuan’s words, the Patriarch of the Ling Family’s expression turned ugly, his face twitched fiercely, secretly cursing him as an old fox.
He really didn’t believe Gu Changchuan didn’t know his intentions.
However, he certainly didn’t dare curse directly and patiently said, "It’s about the kids."
"Previously, Yuanzhou was immature and insisted on breaking off the engagement, hurting Qiqi’s feelings."
"He came today to apologize to Qiqi."
"I know Qiqi cares for Yuanzhou, and actually Yuanzhou cares for Qiqi too, it’s just these kids don’t really know what they truly like."
"After breaking off the engagement, he suddenly realized he loves Qiqi."
"Besides apologizing to Qiqi today, I’ve come to discuss restoring the engagement. After all, it was arranged by the elders, and as children, we shouldn’t go against their wishes."
The Patriarch of the Ling Family spoke in a gentle and humble tone.
His reasoning was clear, but it was shameless.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changchuan sneered directly, "Back when your Ling Family wanted to break off the engagement, why didn’t you consider going against the elders’ wishes?"
The Patriarch of the Ling Family seemed to have anticipated Gu Changchuan would say this, calmly replied, "It was my mistake, I apologize to my mother and Aunt Jin, and now, I’m here to correct that mistake."
Gu Changchuan: "..."
To hell with your correction!
Gu Changchuan only wanted to curse, already itching to do so, but Yu Shuling tugged at his sleeve, calming him down a bit before she looked at the Patriarch of the Ling Family and said, "It was your Ling Family who wanted to break off the engagement, and now it’s you who wants to restore it."
"What is this, playing house?"
Madam Ling immediately forced a smile, "Well, back then Yuanzhou hadn’t understood his feelings."
Yu Shuling heard this, chuckled lightly and said, "Who knows if, after restoring the engagement, your child might suddenly not like our child again."
Upon hearing Yu Shuling’s words, Madam Ling thought there was hope and immediately assured, "No, this time it won’t happen."
In Madam Ling’s view, Gu Zhiqi definitely still liked Ling Yuanzhou.
