In the spacious and quaint house, Nangong Jin's heart tightened the moment he heard the voice. Could it be such a coincidence?

She turned her head with fear and curiosity to glance at the man, only to see him staring at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Hehehe..."

Nangong Jin played dumb to divert attention.

The old lady sitting at the top felt a headache starting from the moment Nangong Jin walked in and saw what she was wearing.

Now seeing her so impolite behavior, his chest heaved violently and he suppressed his anger.

"Nangong Jin, sit still and don't talk nonsense!"

She then explained to Gu Jingxing in a gentle and pleasant voice: "Jingxing, I'm really sorry. I didn't raise this girl by my side since she was a child. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingxing replied politely: "No way, old lady, I just like girls who are real and unpretentious like this!"

Nangong Jin, who was sitting next to him, had roughly understood by now that her fiancé was Gu Jingxing, but she did not understand his intention.

When the old lady heard this, her face froze and she didn't dare to continue blaming him.

At this time, Nangong Jin suddenly spoke up: "Since everyone is here, let me make my request clear first!"

When the old lady heard this, she glared at her desperately, trying to get her to shut up, but Nangong Jin became more and more excited, making the old lady so angry that she got a few more wrinkles on her face.

"First, I'm not having an engagement party!"

As soon as she said this, the old lady stopped her immediately: "How can this be disgraceful? The Gu family and the Nangong family will make the decisions on these matters. It is not your turn to make the decisions on your own. You..."

Before she finished her words, Gu Jingxing looked at Nangong Jin in a soft voice.

"it is good!"

This time it was Nangong Jin who was stunned. She frowned and stared at the other person: Why are you so easy to talk to? This was completely different from the effect she wanted.

Then she continued to say something shocking, "Second, my identity will not be disclosed to the public, and only the two families can have a simple meal, and no other guests are allowed!"

The old lady couldn't bear it any longer. She didn't care about her face anymore and slammed her hand on the table.

"You, get out, we don't need her today..."

As he was about to ask the servants to take Nangong Jin away, Gu Jingxing on the side responded calmly.

"it is good!"

After hearing this, the old lady looked at Gu Jingxing with a frown. The Gu family is a well-known family, so how could they choose a daughter-in-law so casually?

Moreover, she had originally planned to make a big show of this engagement in order to improve the status of the Nangong family.

She quickly spoke up to stop him: "Jingxing, she's still young, don't listen to her! How can you treat marriage as such a joke!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingxing just smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Old lady, my father told me before we set off that no matter what Miss Nangong Jin asks for, we must agree to her request! Even if she asks for the moon in the sky, there is nothing wrong with that!"

The old lady's face was full of disbelief. She squinted her eyes and looked at Nangong Jin. She had no idea what the Gu family saw in that wild girl!

"Well, let's do this first! Nangong Jin, go and accompany Jingxing for a walk!"

Nangong Jin's mind was a little confused, she originally wanted to see the two families part ways unhappily because of her unreasonable demands, but now this situation made her unable to handle it.

She felt unhappy, so she immediately stood up and walked out alone with an expressionless face, completely ignoring the old lady's words.

The old lady could only look at Gu Jingxing awkwardly. After Gu Jingxing bowed to the old lady, he actually followed Nangong Jin out.

After they walked away, the old lady finally vented all her anger.

"Look, Qianyu, our Nangong family is going to lose face because of that bitch today!"

The old lady was so angry that she threw all the cups on the table to the ground.

"Mother, calm down. When she gets into trouble and loses the Gu family's support, we will punish her!"

Madam Nangong is a person who knows how to adapt to changing circumstances.

Nangong Jin walked to a pavilion and sat down dejectedly. She leaned on the railing and stared at the pool in a daze.

"You're angry?"

"no!"

Gu Jingxing sat beside her, leaning against the pillar and looking at her straight.

"What are you looking at?"

"How do you know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me?"

Nangong Jin felt that this person could really make people angry to death.

"Then why did you marry me?"

Surprisingly, Gu Jingxing did not answer her.

Nangong Jin suddenly thought of something and looked at the other person as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What do you want to ask me?"

"Do you know He Zichen from the He Group?"

Gu Jingxing looked away with a half-smile, "How sad! My fiancée is actually thinking about another man!"

Nangong Jin's face suddenly turned red after being teased by him. She snorted, "Forget it if you don't want to say it!"

"Who said that? I won't say anything more. He Zichen is now the most prominent figure in the imperial capital. He acts radically and ruthlessly, but he has offended many people!"

Nangong Jin listened to his words, and his heart gradually became heavy. He clutched his clothes with his hands, lowered his head and said nothing.

"If he had proceeded step by step, he wouldn't have been able to control the He family so quickly. It's really curious, why is he so desperate?"

As he said this, his eyes glanced at Nangong Jin.

Suddenly, Nangong Jin asked a stupid question: "Who is the biggest competitor of Nangong Group?"

Gu Jingxing looked at the serious look of the woman in front of him and suddenly became very interested.

"Heh, He's Group!"

This answer was beyond Nangong Jin's expectations. It seemed that he and He Zichen were really going to be entangled.

Gu Jingxing suddenly stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked down at her.

"Nangong Jin, you can ask for anything you want, I can fulfill it!"

The words "whatever you wish for, I will grant it" deeply touched Nangong Jin, and she looked into Gu Jingxing's eyes intently.

"Thank you!"

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Gu Jingxing just smiled bitterly and said, "When you meet my father, you will know!"

This sentence made Nangong Jin even more curious about the Gu family.

After Gu Jingxing settled the engagement matter, he left without staying too long.

On the way back to her room, Nangong Jin saw a man who looked a bit like her. ——Her brother!

Nangong Hao also noticed Nangong Jin's presence, and the two of them looked at each other. Nangong Jin was very unfamiliar with this brother. She was still young when she left, so she didn't remember many things clearly.

Nangong Hao did not feel any joy of reunion after a long separation. He just stood there and glanced at her indifferently.

"Take care of yourself!"

Nangong Jin looked at his receding back, not knowing what the other party meant for a moment.

The internal situation of the Nangong family is not very complicated. The old lady has the final say on almost all matters of the family. Mrs. Nangong is just a decoration, but her family background is good, so the old lady treats her well.

Nangong Jin sat in the room with a frown on his face: My engagement is in five days, and the old lady will definitely start to make things difficult for me. My brother has an unclear attitude and I cannot rely on him. I hope my so-called sister doesn't cause me trouble.

Nangong Jin thought carefully and realized that the only person in the family who could be targeted was the cowardly father.

However, he did not show up at such an important occasion today, and Nangong Jin actually didn't have much hope for him.

She walked around and came to her father's study. She hid behind the door and took a look, only to see that he was painting with his head down.

"Come in when you're here!"

Nangong Jin then showed some girlish shyness, clasped her hands tightly, and walked in slowly with unnatural movements.

She glanced at the painting on the desk, then quickly looked away, feeling a little complicated.

"Is your mother okay?"

Nangong Jin couldn't understand his father at all. "If you miss her so much, why don't you go find her?"

Nangong Heng paused while painting, his eyes full of guilt, "I'm not worthy!"
