31: Chapter 31 Waiting for Song Yuan to beg her

Lin Xueyao walked out of the Presidents Office, her mind constantly wondering what kind of outstanding man could have captured Shiyu's attention.

The ring on her hand…

Lin Xueyao suddenly remembered that her best friend Qiao Xi had called the day before yesterday, saying that Song Yuan had bought that ring from the store.

She quickly looked up the brand on her phone and, sure enough, saw that the store's prized possession was exactly the one Shiyu was wearing.

Lin Xueyao's heart was pounding erratically, and she had a wild guess.

But how could that be?

That ring wasn't a limited edition; if Song Yuan could buy it, so could others.

How could a loser like Song Yuan hook up with a group CEO like Shiyu? Impossible!

Besides, that sycophant Song Yuan would never betray her in this lifetime. Don't look at how stubborn he is now; he'll definitely come back begging before the wedding. He'll have to eat his own words.

Lin Xueyao dismissed her thoughts, waiting for Song Yuan to kneel and beg her to marry him in two days, otherwise, she would humiliate him in front of so many relatives, friends, and colleagues.

Upstairs, Shiyu entered the conference room with her assistant.

Her afternoon schedule was packed with meetings. To free up her evening to comfort Old Lady, her meeting times were tightly squeezed, with only five minutes of break in between.

After all the meetings concluded, she sat back in her Maybach.

Ms. Xu followed her back to the Old Residence.

"General Manager Gu, when do you plan to reveal your identity to Mr. Song?"

Shiyu didn't waste time in the car either, looking at documents on her iPad.

"Let's wait for the right opportunity. Song Yuan is…very excellent. He might not be willing to find a partner stronger than him. I'm afraid if I reveal my identity, he won't be able to accept it and will divorce me."

Ms. Xu was utterly shocked. Even her domineering General Manager Gu was afraid of being looked down upon?

It seemed Mr. Song was indeed exceptional.

The car drove back to Gu Residence.

As Shiyu entered, she was immediately surrounded by gazes from the living room, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Old Lady was entertaining guests at home today; the entire Xiao Family was there.

Old Lady of Xiao Family saw Shiyu enter and gestured to her eldest grandson, Xiao Nianchen.

"Nianchen, Shiyu is back. You two should talk more and cultivate your feelings!"

Xiao Nianchen's gaze came over, and in Shiyu's eyes, it was deeply lewd.

The butler saw that everyone had arrived and approached Old Lady, asking,

"Chairman Gu, when should we start dinner?"

"We can serve the dishes now. Bring out the wine I collected last year!"

The butler took the order and hastily called a group of servants to prepare.

After Shiyu greeted the elders, she completely ignored Xiao Nianchen, who had come over to flirt.

She sat in a single-seater sofa, not wanting to speak. Gu Shiyuan appeared from nowhere, straddling the armrest of her sofa, and whispered to her,

"Sis, why do I feel like today is a blind date? Is the brother-in-law you found real or just Photoshopped? You're not trying to fool Old Lady, are you? You need to bring the real person here to be convincing!"

Shiyu pushed him on the head.

"You little rascal, don't even think about getting information out of me."

Gu Shiyuan was very curious about his brother-in-law.

"Who exactly is he that you need to hide him so much, not even letting your own brother see him?"

Shiyu replied to him,

"Now is not the time to meet."

As they spoke, the butler from the dining room called out that dinner was ready. Gu Old Lady greeted the Xiao Family for dinner and specifically told Xiao Nianchen,

"Nianchen, you sit with Shiyu. Get to know each other. We will be family sooner or later."

Xiao Nianchen nodded and bowed, smiling like a pug, wagging his tail as he approached.

Shiyu's hawk-like gaze swept over him, and Xiao Nianchen froze in place, feeling a shiver down his spine, not daring to make another move.

Gu Shiyuan, at Shiyu's signal, sat in the seat next to her.

Xiao Nianchen had no choice but to find a seat nearby.

Everyone was seated, and they all raised their glasses.

Gu Old Lady was very happy today. It was not easy to get Shiyu back, and she even introduced her good friend's grandson to her. Having a meal together was not easy, and she loved lively occasions.

"I hope we gather often in the future and come to the house often!"

Old Lady of Xiao Family had already decided that this marriage was a done deal, completely treating this meal as an engagement dinner to meet the parents.

"That's for sure. We are all family now, so of course, we should gather often. Let's all wish the young couple a prosperous life and for them to have a child of love soon."

Gu Shiyuan knew his sister's temper best and observed Shiyu from the side, not daring to drink this wine at all.

And Shiyu had not spoken a word while sitting there. She waited until Xiao Father, Xiao Mother, and even Xiao Nianchen, everyone, raised their glasses, ready to toast and celebrate, then Shiyu stood up from her seat and filled her own glass.

The diamond ring on her hand was inadvertently displayed brightly to everyone.

"Taking advantage of today's gathering, I also have good news to share with everyone. I've registered my marriage. I hope everyone can wish me a happy new marriage. If Uncle Xiao's family needs any help in the future, please don't hesitate to say so. I will definitely lend a hand if I can."

After Shiyu finished speaking, she drank half the red wine in her glass.

The scene suddenly became quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Old Lady thought the red marriage certificate she had sent to the group a few days ago was just to fool her, which was why she forced her back for a blind date. But it was real?

Gu Old Lady didn't want to believe it now, but her good granddaughter wouldn't go to such lengths to fool her, even wearing a diamond ring. So it must be true.

Old Lady felt a bit embarrassed for a moment, but even more embarrassed than her were the Xiao Family.

Originally, this marriage was a social climb for the Xiao Family. Without the friendship between Gu Old Lady and Old Lady of Xiao Family, based on status, the Xiao Family wouldn't even be qualified to attend a Gu Family wedding, let alone marry into the Gu Family.

Now, Shiyu announced her marriage in front of everyone, making it clear that the person involved looked down on them. Of course, this was the Xiao Family's psychological interpretation.

Shiyu's primary requirement for a partner was character, and Xiao Nianchen did not meet that standard.

This meal became tasteless before it even began. Xiao Nianchen sat there, feeling a surge of anger, but he didn't dare to show it. He just sulked by himself.

He wondered who had stolen his thunder and ruined his impending marriage. He vowed to find out and would not let that person off!

Shiyu's purpose in coming back today was to give Old Lady an explanation. Now that it was done, she had no desire to eat. Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone at the table, she lowered her head, scrolled on her phone a few times, and prepared to leave.

"I have something at the company. I'll leave first. Please enjoy your meal."

Gu Old Lady, who had raised Shiyu herself, knew her granddaughter's temper best. This marriage was definitely not going to happen.

But her granddaughter had registered her marriage with someone and hadn't even brought him back for her to see. What kind of situation was this?

She called out to her,

"Shiyu, bring him back for dinner another day."
