"I'm getting engaged."

The four characters fell into the calm lake like a heavy stone, causing an uproar in an instant.

"Xiao Jin, don't mess around." Su Qingshan's face was livid, and he sternly stopped.

Su Lijin felt a little nervous when she noticed the probing eyes from all around.

Chu Qingmu clenched her hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass his strength to her.

"Grandpa, I'm not fooling around." Su Lijin replied seriously.

"Grandpa, as a well-known figure in S City, naturally has no shortage of gifts, but I know that my marriage has always been my grandfather's worry. A gift for grandpa's birthday, not to mention, now that I'm not too young, it's time to find a suitable home." Su Lijin explained slowly.

Just after Su Lijin finished speaking, Su Qingshan's expression softened.

Su Liyuan cast an inquiring gaze on Gu Xici, but Gu Xici was so guilty that he didn't dare to look up.

Su Qingshan's sharp eyes rested on Chu Qingmu's body.

Chu Qingmu respectfully bowed to Su Qingshan, and said, "Hi, grandpa, my name is Chu Qingmu."

He is polite, personable, and well-mannered, making him a good match.

"As for your engagement, let's talk about it after the banquet. Let's cut the cake first." Su Qingshan said lightly.

Su Qingshan stood up while talking, "I'm sorry, I made everyone laugh. Regarding Xiaojin's engagement, it needs to be discussed. Before the matter is confirmed, please give Su some face and treat it as today's matter. It didn't happen."

Su Qingshan has spoken out, who dares to say no.

Su Lijin glanced at Su Jiachen, smiled smugly, and said softly, "I won."

Su Jiachen raised his glass, noncommittal.

Lunch was still in progress, Gu Xici couldn't bear to chat with this group of half-acquainted people, and couldn't even eat a meal, so he turned around and walked towards the kitchen while Su Liyuan was not paying attention.

"Are all the meals I asked you to prepare ready?" Gu Xici asked straight to the point as soon as he arrived in the kitchen.

"Young Madam, you are ready." The servant replied respectfully.

Gu Xici nodded in satisfaction, "Bring it."

The servant handed the lunch box to Gu Xici, and she took it, quite heavy.

"Thank you." Gu Xici said with a smile, then turned and walked in the opposite direction from the lively banquet.

Walking to the corner of the ancestral hall, Gu Xici took the lunch box in another hand.

Looking up, I saw a familiar figure standing in front of the ancestral hall, hesitating, and she was holding the same lunch box in her hand.

"Auntie? Why are you here?" Gu Xici asked in surprise.

Gu Xici took a closer look, and it was Li Ning standing at the door.

No wonder I didn't see her figure at the banquet just now, it turned out that she had gone with me.

Li Ning seemed to be frightened by Gu Xici's sudden yelling, she turned her head abruptly, saw that it was Gu Xici, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "So it was you."

"Are you here to deliver food to Li Shi?" Li Ning asked.

"That's right, I was afraid that Li Shi would be hungry, so I ordered the servant to make food." Gu Xici nodded.

Li Ning nodded, seemingly a little uneasy, "Alright, since you're here, I'll go first."

Before Gu Xici could react, Li Ning left in a hurry.

She suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and stuffed the lunch box into Gu Xici's hand, "This is what he likes to eat."

After speaking, she left like a gust of wind.

Only Gu Xici was left there inexplicably.

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Xici knocked on the door of the ancestral hall, then remembered, isn't this a place of confinement, so he simply pushed the door open and entered.

The sudden darkness overwhelmed Gu Xici, and it took her a long time to get used to it.

"Li Shi?" Gu Xici called out uncertainly.

"Why are you here?" Zu Lishi's voice came from behind, making Gu Xici startled.

Gu Xici stroked his chest and said, "Shouldn't you be kneeling on the futon?"

Zurich smiled contemptuously, "I won't be as rigid as your husband. If you say let him kneel all night, he will really kneel all night."

Gu Xici blushed, pointed at Zu Lishi and said, "What is my husband, he is your brother."

"Really?" Zurich smiled even more contemptuously, "He never regarded me as a younger brother. Perhaps in the hearts of their Su family, I am not even qualified to kneel in the ancestral hall."

For some reason, when Zu Lishi said this, Gu Xici could feel a little sadness.

But that sadness was quickly covered up, so fast that it was unpredictable.

"Okay, let's not talk about what you have and what you don't have, I'm here to deliver food to you, eat it quickly." Gu Xici simply stopped arguing with Zu Lishi and pushed the lunch box forward.

Zurich glanced at Gu Xici, "Why are there two copies?"

"Uh." Gu Xici hesitated for a while, and said to Zu Lishi who was eating, "This is what Aunt Li brought over for you, and I happened to meet at the door..."

Zu Lishi calmly swallowed the food in his mouth, "Throw this lunch box out."

"Why, these are all your favorite dishes." Gu Xici asked in surprise.

"From now on, I don't like it anymore." After Zurich finished speaking, he calmly opened another lunch box and began to eat with relish.

Gu Xici frowned, and muttered in a low voice, "This is someone else's wish, how can I throw it away so easily..."

"I don't need it." Zu Lishi suddenly raised his voice, making Gu Xici's little heart thump with fright, "She hates me from the beginning to the end, how could a woman like her husband's illegitimate child, she is just showing off."

"For a show? Who is she doing it for? I was the only one present just now. She shouldn't be doing it for me. Besides, she doesn't seem to like me very much." Gu Xici said mockingly.

Zurich glanced at Gu Xici and asked, "So you want to be Li Ning's lobbyist, get her approval by improving my relationship with her, and have a harmonious and beautiful relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

Gu Xici stood up, "Aren't you imaginative too much? How could you see that I want to improve our relationship with her, and her relationship with our boss is not good. Why should I try to curry favor with her?"

Zurich ate slowly, without speaking.

"However, having said that, I want to ask you a question. For the sake of my delivery of food, can you answer me?" Gu Xici suddenly squatted down as if remembering something, and stared at it with his chin in his hands. Zurich asked, blinking.

"It turns out that the food delivery is conditional." Zurich said jokingly.

"You can answer voluntarily." Gu Xici asked solemnly, "Why is the relationship between BOSS and his parents so bad?"
