Chapter 91 Groom
It was another month's time to report on the company's business progress. This time, it was Sister Zhao and another unfamiliar employee who came to the head office.
Gu Chuan listened to Sister Zhao with a normal expression as she finished talking about the key points of her work, and then asked casually: "Why didn't Miss Chu come?"
Sister Zhao replied: "Chu Yan passed the interview a few days ago and has already landed. She has quit her job here long ago."
Gu Chuan paused while flipping through the documents.
After Sister Zhao left with the people, Gu Chuan looked at Special Assistant Zhang, "What do they mean by going ashore?"
Special Assistant Zhang thought carefully for a while and said, "What they probably mean is that Miss Chu passed the public examination and is now a staff member of a national institution."
Of course Gu Chuan knew that, he just couldn't believe it and needed someone by his side to confirm his thoughts.
After a long silence, he said: "She decided to take this road to escape me."
"You can't say that..." Assistant Zhang said with difficulty: "Now that the economy is in recession, many people want to have a stable job and have a stable life. Maybe that's what Miss Chu thinks."
In fact, Special Assistant Zhang also felt that the excuse he gave was very lame, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Chu Yan would suddenly become one of the people who came ashore, it must be to get rid of Gu Chuan's entanglement.
Chu Yan has always been a serious person. When she was still in school, she was very good at studying and often ranked first. People have to admire her. It is not surprising that she can successfully land ashore.
Assistant Zhang looked at Gu Chuan who was silent and suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Chu Yan successfully succeeded in the written examination and interview, and becoming a member of the boarding school is worth celebrating.
As arranged by Shen Xing, he and Chu Yan accompanied her parents to eat out.
Father Chu was very happy, "I knew that my daughter has been the best since she was a child. How difficult it is to take the public examination, but Yanyan succeeded in the first try. She really deserves to be my daughter!"
Mother Chu rolled her eyes and said, "It's as if Yanyan is your daughter alone. If I hadn't educated Yanyan well since she was a child, would you be able to show it off everywhere now?"
Father Chu coughed uncomfortably and whispered: "The children are here, can't you save some face for me?"
Shen Xing smiled and smoothed things over, "If you ask me, Yanyan's success now is all because of her father's encouragement, her mother's cultivation, and the efforts of both of you."
These words made people feel comfortable, and the Chu family couple now felt much more comfortable looking at Shen Xing.
Chu Yan suddenly said: "Dad, Mom, please choose a good day for us."
Dad Chu: "What a good day?"
"The day Shen Xing and I hold our wedding."
Both Father Chu and Mother Chu were stunned for a long time, but Mother Chu was the first to react, "You haven't received a certificate, so what kind of wedding are you doing?"
Shen Xing felt guilty.
Chu Yan was very generous, "Shen Xing and I received the certificate a month ago."
Father Chu was speechless.
Chu's mother was in disbelief, "You didn't ask us to get the household registration book, how did you get the marriage certificate?" Chu Yan said, "Now you don't even need the household registration book to get the certificate."
The middle-aged couple couldn't keep up with the times and didn't recover for a long time.
They had only thought that Shen Xing would definitely separate from Chu Yan in the end. They never thought that they could successfully get to the stage of getting married!
Shen Xing was a little uneasy. After all, it was quite unkind of him to get the certificate without notifying his parents. Therefore, his attitude inevitably became more cautious, "My parents said yesterday that they wanted to negotiate with me." Sit down and have a meal together."
Of course it's not as simple as eating, what to do with the wedding, how many tables to book for the banquet, who to invite... all these big and small things need to be discussed.
Father Chu and Mother Chu felt as if they had eaten a fly, and their expressions were very complicated.
When the rice has already been cooked, as parents, they certainly cannot let their children apply for divorce certificates just after they get married. The deal is already done. All they can do now is to try their best to arrange everything for them.
Today is the day when Gu Chuan returns to the Gu family after a long absence. This is the first time he has gone home since he treated his parents like a stranger, and the reason for his return is very simple. Mrs. Gu is ill.
Mrs. Gu was indeed sick. She was lying on the bed and was happy to see Gu Chuan coming to see her. She wanted to persuade Gu Chuan not to cling to the past, but she was afraid that mentioning Chu Yan would make Gu Chuan angry and make them angry. The slightly eased relationship between them has dropped to a freezing point.
Mrs. Gu coughed lightly, "I haven't seen you for so long, just stay at home for two more days, okay?"
Gu Chuan looked at the person in front of him. She was much more haggard and thinner. The fragile appearance now seemed to be two different people from the woman who harshly commented on how unbearable the person he loved was.
He was quiet for a while and then said "hmm".
When he came out of the bedroom, he happened to see the servant who came to deliver something. When the servant saw him, he was obviously frightened and hid the things behind him in a panic.
Gu Chuan was very keen. He walked over and asked, "What is that in your hand?"
The servant aunt whispered: "It's nothing, it's just a caring letter from Madam's friend."
Gu Chuan said: "Take out the things."
The servant aunt didn't move. She was very nervous, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she didn't know what to do.
Gu Chuan said calmly: "You should know that my temper is very bad now."
The servant aunt was shocked. Everyone in the Gu family knew that Gu Chuan's state was getting worse and worse recently. Just looking at him, one could feel a sense of gloom and danger.
He has changed, he is no longer the polite and wealthy young man he was before.
The servant aunt looked embarrassed, hesitating and tangled, and slowly took out the thing hidden behind her back. It was an invitation card, the color was red and as shocking as blood.
Gu Chuan seemed to have a premonition, but he subconsciously didn't want to believe it. When he opened the invitation and saw the names of the bride and groom, he felt dizzy for a moment, and the flesh and blood in his body surged, as if it was about to pierce his body. The pain struck, turning everything in front of him into an illusion.
Those who persuaded Gu Chuan to separate from Chu Yan back then knew very well how much Gu Chuan wanted to be with Chu Yan forever. But the irony of fate was that soon after he sent the engagement ring, his relationship with Chu Yan broke down.
Today, Chu Yan is finally getting married, but fate seems to have left a voice of ridicule. The groom is not him, but his cousin, Shen Xing.
