Spring breeze is the best (010) so magnificent
After dinner, Ji Jiangying went to the study room.
Ji Jiang then called out to him: "Big brother, are you still working at night?"
Ji Jiang Ying turned around: "Something's up?"
Nothing big, just want to talk about some work stuff with you.
Ji Jiangying called out to him: "Come on up together."
Ji Jiangran recently had a new investment plan, just said that eating is not accurate, let Ji Jiangying give a note. The two delved into it and Ji Jiangran immediately understood. He was an expert in this field and had handled countless similar cases.
Ji Jiangying rarely felt uncertain about his younger brother. Xi Zhi tapped the desktop twice with his fingers, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Have you and Ruyu's marriage been arranged?"
Ji Jiangran didn't answer and instead asked: "Big brother really plans to postpone the wedding?"
Ji Jiang raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "It depends on whether time permits."
"Ji Jiang thought for a moment: 'How long are you planning to stay at home this time?'"
Ji Jiang thought for a moment and said it was hard to say, but it seemed to be longer than usual.
Ji Jiangran then didn't disturb him anymore, stood up and said: "Brother, you work, I've delayed you for too long."
Ji Jiangying said: "Alright, go and accompany Ruyu then."
Ji Jiangran pushed the door open and came out, not going downstairs directly. He leaned against the wall of the corridor, lit a cigarette, and puffed out white mist that looked like frost on winter flowers as his eyes narrowed slightly in the flickering light of the flame.
Gu Shallow received a call from Gu's family member, it was the housekeeper who called and said that Old Man Gu wanted her to go back.
She had met Old Master Gu a handful of times, and the relationship between this father and daughter didn't seem to be very good. Even when they did meet, Old Master Gu was inexplicably cold towards her.
After Gu Shallow Cong finished her errands, she returned home to find Mr. and Mrs. Gu sitting in the living room waiting for her. Mr. Gu was sitting upright with a serious expression, his eyes deep as he looked at her. When Gu Shallow Cong called out "Dad, Mom", he nodded for her to sit on the sofa across from them.
Mrs. Gu instructed her servant to bring coffee for Gu Qian Ning, who liked freshly ground black coffee, the kind that was strong and mellow.
Before Old Man Gu spoke, he chuckled and said: "Mom has some good news to tell you. The Ji family called and wants you to move in with them. It seems they really approve of you as their daughter-in-law. Your dad and I have discussed it, and we want you to go over there today."
Gu Shallow suddenly raised her eyes, really couldn't believe that the Ji family actually recognized her. But had to say that Ji Jiangying was indeed cunning and full of tricks, he made a phone call and she remained unmoved, but the Ji family started making moves from the Gu family's side.
Leaning against the sofa, she said, "Mom, I don't think this is good. We've only just gotten engaged and haven't even set a formal wedding date yet. It's not suitable for me to go live with the Ji family."
Mr. Gu said in a low voice, "This matter cannot be denied by you, since the Ji family has said so, if we don't do it, it would be a slap in their face. Yan Ruyu has already agreed to it, how can you not? Are you trying to lose to her on this matter?"
Gu Shallow Cong wanted to say something.
The words were directly interrupted by Old Man Gu: "You still don't understand, you should be clear about the pros and cons of things. Our family business is not doing well, we need the help of the Ji family. If you ruin the relationship between the two families, the Gu family will suffer, and you will suffer even more."
Every detail is tied to her lifeline, who doesn't know that Gu Shallow still has to ask her parents for living expenses until now. If the Gu family goes bankrupt, even that thin 10,000 yuan won't be available.
Gu Shallow Cong took over the coffee brought by the lower person. That Gu Shallow Cong was incompatible with her in every way, except for this one thing.
She sipped her coffee silently for a few mouthfuls.
Mrs. Guo advised on the side: "Yes, Qian Ning, our Guo family is not good at being too individualistic, and moving into the Ji family is a good thing, how can you miss such an opportunity."
Gu Shallow put down her cup and lowered her eyelids: "Alright then, but not today, I have a lot of things to sort out."
"It's okay, we can go tomorrow. I'll call the Ji family to let them know. This afternoon, I'll help you pack up your things."
In the afternoon, they went shopping together. Mrs. Gu promised to buy her a few decent clothes. Now that she was going to live with the Ji family, she had to look presentable, as she represented the face of the entire Gu family.
Didn't want to, but ran into Yan Ruyu while strolling around the mall.
Yan Ruyu smiled and greeted Gu Qianying and Mrs. Gu, asking Gu Qianying, "When are you moving over to live?"
There is a truth she understands: the more there are things to compare with, the better one can see the pros and cons of something. She thinks that Gu Shallow's existence is just to set off hers.
Mrs. Gu said: "Qian Ning will move in tomorrow."
Yan Ruyu happily said: "That's great, this way I can also accompany Shallow Cong."
Gu Shallow smiled with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips and pulled up Mrs. Gu: "Let's go."
Just as she was about to leave, Yan Ruyi suddenly remembered something and called out to stop her.
"Qian Ning, are you going to the wine party by yourself or should I come pick you up?"
"What wine?" Gu Qian Ning turned her head back and asked.
Yan Ruyu immediately said: "It's just a party at your brother's company, how did you get past?"
"I'm not going." Lu pulled up Mrs. Gu and was about to leave.
Mrs. Gu suddenly became enthusiastic and walked back a few steps, asking in detail: "Ruyue, are you going too?"
Yan Ruyu looked at Gu Shallow Condensation and said, "Of course we have to go. Shallow Condensation will definitely go too. Our own family members can't not go, it's not like that. Big brother must think that Shallow Condensation already knows, others don't know, she should also know."
Madam Gu was also displeased with Gu Shallow Congealing.
"She's always so careless and thoughtless, not like you who are so meticulous." Then she turned to call out to Gu Shallow Condensation: "You'd better get ready to go over there now." And asked Yan Ruyu: "What time is the wine party?"
"It's estimated to start at six o'clock in the evening."
What a coincidence, just as Yan Ruyu's phone rang in her hand, she answered it. After hanging up, she said hastily: "Qian Ning, hurry us up to get ready and go over there, do you have a dress? I was just going to the store to pick one up, come with me."
Gu Shallow Cong did not want to go, but was pulled by Yan Ruyu along with Mrs. Gu to try on wedding dresses.
She didn't like flashy things, so she chose a black satin floor-length gown with a simple design, the chest embroidered with fine diamonds that reflected her eyes, clear and distinct, like gemstones. The simplicity stood out amidst the opulence of the room. Apart from a white pearl necklace, there was no other superfluous decoration on her body. As she walked in, it was as if she had descended from heaven, a celestial being who had mistakenly entered the mortal world. Even with an expressionless face, exuding only serenity, she was more enchanting than Yan Yurou, who was smiling elegantly by her side.
Also seeing Yan Ruyu's stunning appearance after changing into a formal dress and making up, Yan Rushuang regretted it, shouldn't have pulled her along.
When walking shoulder-to-shoulder to the party venue, Fang felt a bit strained and had to admit that Gu Shallow Cong was indeed a vase, with a pretty appearance.
She had laughed very hard, but compared to Gu Shuang's condescending gaze, she seemed a bit weaker in momentum. Casting a sideways glance, like a queen looking down on the entire scene with disdain.
But after seeing Ji Jiang's icy and gloomy gaze, he became happy instead. What's the point of having a good appearance? It's the inner decay that's most humiliating.
Gu Shallow Cong also met Ji Jiangying's gaze, the disgust in his eyes was too obvious, it was hard to ignore. He couldn't help but smile wryly, apparently something didn't meet the young master Ji's standards.
He walked over, lowering his voice, but speaking with a straight face: "How did you get here?"
Gu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't respond.
Yan Ruyu stood aside and said, "Big brother, I met Qian Ning and came together with her. What? Didn't you inform Qian Ning?" He seemed to have realized something and looked ashamed: "It was Jiang Ran who called me to hurry up and prepare, I saw Qian Ning still shopping around, and in a moment of panic, I was afraid she would forget the time, so I called her together..."
It's obvious that Gu Shangying shouldn't have come but she did anyway.
It was not that he forgot to inform her, but rather he had no intention of informing her at all.
It's too late to leave now, and someone is greeting her from a distance.
"Ah, Shallow Cong, you've arrived, your classmates have been waiting for you."
Looking back, it was Fang Xinzhong whom I met in that coffee shop on that day.
Gu Shallow nodded to him, and before he could walk up, other guests heard that it was Ji Jiangying's fiancée, and they all came over to greet her, instantly causing a commotion, even the reporters shifted their focus over.
There were also a few heavyweight guests from abroad, who were partners and good friends of Ji Jiangying. Speaking in Japanese, they smiled at Ji Jiangying: "The young lady has arrived, why doesn't Season introduce us? Which one of these two beautiful ladies is Mrs. Season?"
Ji Jiangying was such a refined person, with an elegant demeanor. He pulled Gu Shuangning to his side, wrapping one arm around her. A smile spread across his face, and that smile was truly flawless.
"This is my fiancée Gu Qian Ning." He glanced at Gu Qian Ning and continued, "This is Mr. Matsui, this is his wife..."
The languages were diverse, not only from Japan but also from other countries. Qi Jiangying happened to be a language expert and didn't even bring an interpreter when communicating. Almost swarming up to greet Qi Qianying.
Yan Ruyu couldn't help but smile at the misfortune of others as she watched from the side.
This time, Shallow Cong had a lot of trouble, she was not always self-proclaimed to be high-minded, her face was thick enough. They were in the same school from junior high to high school, and Gu Shallow Cong was always a problematic student who was at the bottom of the class, even in college, she was a mediocre student who paid a high price. She couldn't even speak English, let alone other things.
Keep an eye on her until she makes a fool of herself, and I'm sure tomorrow's headlines will be all about Gu Shallow Cong. This woman standing beside Ji Jiangying is not a laughing stock.
Ji Jiangran also walked over, following Yan Ruyi's gaze, his expression seemingly a little dazed.
After greeting her friend, Ji Jiangying didn't expect Gu Qianqian to speak up and had already planned to help her out with a couple of sentences before sending her away.
Not thinking, Gu Shallow Condensed carelessly smiled and greeted each of Qiu Jiangying's foreign friends. Moreover, it was not just a cursory greeting in internationally common English, but rather patiently responding in the other person's native language. Smooth and natural, elegant and composed.
She doesn't even bother with Japanese, let alone Russian, which is even more awkward.
One of the gentlemen was very humorous, and with a courteous gesture, he took Gu Shallow's hand and kissed her on the back of her hand. He lavished praise without restraint: "Mr. Ji's wife is truly stunning."
That "moving the country and city" was a phrase he had thought about for a moment, Chinese culture is vast and profound, and even language is exquisite and beautiful. But he said that this "moving the country and city" is his favorite, and he thinks it's most suitable to use to praise Gu Shallow Condensation.
Gu Shuangying is a perfect and wonderful person.
Ji Jiang's eyes glanced sideways at her, seemingly careless, but when others praised her, he only smiled slightly, and the light in his eyes was profound and boundless. In such a magnificent and bright hall, with the constant flashing of camera lights, it was hard for people to open their eyes, yet it couldn't illuminate his pair of narrow and beautiful eyes.
The smile on Gu Shallow's face was so bright, the thin and clean light in her scissors-like eyes, that radiant smile, was so beautiful it didn't seem real.
Even he was taken aback.
Gu Shallow Cong has a kind of clarity and elegance all over her body, which makes people dare not profane. However, she can have in-depth conversations with people close to her, sounding knowledgeable and broad-minded, giving the impression that she is highly talented and well-cultivated.
For a time, it became the focus of the wine party, and even Ji Jiangying standing on one side became a foil.
The conversation was diverse and plentiful, but she wasn't fazed at all. An elderly gentleman from the UK claimed to be a very good friend of Ji Jiang's, and they had known each other for many years, a true old friend.
He told Gu Qian Ning that he had always admired Ji Jiang Ying and was curious about what kind of woman could win Ji Jiang Ying's favor. He said that after meeting Gu Qian Ning today, he finally understood what it meant to be a true talented person and a perfect match made in heaven.
It was a pleasure to have an in-depth conversation with Gu Qianying, who talked about his past as an old navy veteran. Before retiring, he had made another great achievement. At that time, during an operation against international crime, they were patrolling and received orders from their superiors. A pirate ship had escaped to that sea area and was intercepted by them, resulting in a beautiful battle.
Gu Shallow Cong did not have the general anxiety of young people, listening carefully, and even said with some excitement: "Oh, I know what you're talking about. That time, your British Navy really did a great job, beating that pirate ship to pieces, and several sailors made heroic sacrifices, it's truly heartbreaking. Those pirates were originally chased from the high seas all the way to that area, if there hadn't been you guys at the time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been caught so easily."
The old man was already very excited, and he grasped Gu Shallow's hand tightly, his eyes shining with tears.
"Heavens, you actually know..." He was too excited and didn't know what to say.
Gu Shallow naturally knew that among the people who carried out the mission to attack the pirates that time, there were also them, they were sent by the base to punish international crimes, unexpectedly let those people escape, and finally joined forces with a naval fleet at that time to eliminate them.
"I like reading all kinds of news, especially military ones. I happened to see this one at that time. I have always admired you, and unexpectedly had the good fortune to meet the heroes back then."
The whole conversation was in English, Gu Shangning's words were fluent and round, just like a native foreigner. Who would have thought that he only knew ABC?
All the reporters present were stunned, taking non-stop photos, and would definitely make it tomorrow's headline. They marveled that Gu Shangning, this seemingly ordinary young lady, was actually extraordinary and impressive.
After chatting for a long time, I finally had the chance to go over and say hello to Fang Xinzhi and those people.
But in reality, there wasn't a single familiar face; everywhere I looked, it was just a sea of unfamiliar people.
Those people stared at her in amazement too, so after a few words, she excused herself and left.
Elegantly picked up a glass of champagne, those few people walked away with complexions as white as jade.
Yan Ruyu's face had already turned pale, and her heart was suffocating long before Gu Shangning responded with ease. Her smile was extinguished, and she couldn't even pretend anymore. Having been neglected, she squeezed into a corner to drink alone.
Ji Jiang Ransheng's mood seemed great, and he brought over a glass of wine to toast her.
"What's wrong? You seem unhappy tonight?"
Yan Ruyu hastily smiled: "No, why wouldn't I be happy."
Ji Jiang looked at her with a thoughtful expression, his eyes drifting away, and saw that Gu Shallow had already walked over with a charming smile. Her enchanting eyes sparkled like those of a seductress, captivating the entire room.
When did you come up with such an elegant and refined demeanor?
Even Ji Jiangying, standing not far away, had to stare intently, and the most unexpected one was him. Just now, Mr. Charlie said loudly that he would establish a long-term stable cooperative relationship with him in the future. All of this is thanks to Gu Qianqian, who carelessly made an old man smile from ear to ear, more effective than a tough negotiation.
