Niu Ailan sat up from the bed excitedly, âMarried? Youâre getting married?â
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Ziâang looked at each other and felt that it was a little strange.
Youngest Aunt is getting married?
When was that? With whom? Where was he?
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Miao, then at her Grandfather and Grandmother. She felt a little dizzy.
Why had 1 never heard of this before?
When did Little Aunt get a boyfriend? When did she decide to get married next year?
Why wasnât there any news before?
Could it be that everything was fake? Was it made up by Little Aunt to deceive Niu Ailan?
However, did Grandpa and Grandma agree with Little Auntâs lie?
Of course, Qin Xiaojie was the one who was most shocked.
He was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly went forward and asked excitedly, âWhen did you have a boyfriend? Why didnât I know?â
Previously, when he was in B City, he would often secretly go to B City Normal University to visit Li Miao.
He also knew that Li Miao didnât like him, so he always watched secretly. Most of the time, Li Miao didnât know.
Every time he went, Li Miao was either alone or with her roommates.
There werenât many men around her, so she obviously didnât have a boyfriend.
But it had only been a short holiday, and she already had a boyfriend? Qin Xiaojie didnât quite believe it.
Li Miao looked at Qin Xiaojie and said with a smile, âSpeaking of which, everyone knows my boyfriend. Heâs considered an acquaintance.â
Everyone?
âWho is it?â Qin Xiaojie became even more vigilant.
âItâs Gong Wenbai!â Li Miao said generously.
Qin Xiaojie looked surprised and hurt, âBig Brother Gong? How old is he? Why are you⦠Youâ¦â
When he went to study abroad, Gong Wenbai was already by his uncleâs side.
Although he had never asked Gong Wenbaiâs exact age, he knew he should be almost thirty this year, right?
Li Miao was one year younger than him. She was only 23 years old this year.
The two of them were at least five or six years apart!
How could this be?
Li Miao did not say anything. Instead, Liu Guihua spoke, âItâs okay for a man to be older. An older man knows how to care for others.â
âYouâre so young, yet you know how to care for others!â Qin Xiaojie said anxiously. âMoreover, Big Brother Gongâ¦â
Before Qin Xiaojie could finish his sentence, Niu Ailan shouted, âQin Xiaojie! Shut up!â
Qin Xiaojie looked at Niu Ailan in a daze.
Niu Ailan scolded him coldly, âThis is his private matter. You have no right to interrupt. Since Miaomiao is getting married soon, you should be more careful. Donât let people gossip about you behind your back.â
She was a little proud of herself.
He thought that Li Miao would be able to find a good family, but it turned out to be Gong Wenbai.
He was just a driver. After graduating from high school, he went to the army and did not make a name for himself in the army. After he changed jobs, he was considered lucky and became a bodyguard for his brother.
She heard that he resigned and went to start a business!
Could it be that anyone could make a name for themselves in something like starting a business?
Ever since the financial crisis, the economy had not been doing well. Although things had finally gotten better in the past two years, the situation was still very grim.
Even Xiaojie, an overseas graduate, had failed. Gong Wenbaiâs career would most likely be ruined.
She thought that Li Miao had high standards!
However, it was fine. No matter whom Li Miao married, as long as she didnât have anything to do with Xiaojie.
This news was the main purpose of Li Miao and the other two coming today.
He had already finished speaking, and the effect had been achieved. Therefore, Li Miao was not willing to stay here anymore.
She gave Liu Guihua a look.
Liu Guihua suddenly reacted, âAiyo, I didnât notice the time when I came. Itâs already eleven oâclock. In-law, itâs time for you to eat, right? Then we wonât disturb you anymore. Weâll come again when itâs convenient for you.â
Before Niu Ailan and Qin Xiaojie could speak, Li Miao said to Li Miao, âSis, letâs go together. Brother-in-law can send us back.â
Li Xu was also thinking of a reason to leave. When she heard this, she quickly stood up, âAll right, no problem. Aunt, take care of yourself. Weâll be leaving first.â
Niu Ailan knew Li Miao was getting married, and her mood improved.
âAll right, thank you for your trouble,â she said politely. âIâm in good health. Iâll be back in two days. You donât have to think about me.â
âXiaojie, go and send the In-laws off.â She looked at Qin Xiaojie.
Qin Xiaojie was so shocked by the news he was in a daze.
Hearing Niu Allanâs words, he seemed to come back to his senses.
He followed the group of people to the door in a daze. He could not help but look up at Li Miao.
âLi Miao, you⦠Are you really getting married?â he asked in a hoarse voice.
Li Miao turned around and said with a smile, âI do have this plan, but the specifics havenât been confirmed yet. When itâs confirmed, Iâll send you a wedding invitation. If you have time, come over with Second Sister-in-law.â
After saying that, Li Miao held Li Guihuaâs arm and left.
Qin Xiaojie only returned to the ward with his head lowered when he saw the group of people enter the elevator.
Niu Allanâs mood improved when she saw him looking so dejected.
The more disappointed he was, the easier it was for him to get over it.
Perhaps he would forget about Li Miao in two days.
It was good that his business failed this time. Perhaps he would give up and not want to run out anymore.
He would stay at home in peace and find a girl of equal status for him to marryâ¦
After the family got into the elevator, Ji Yuanyuan finally could not help but ask, âAunty, are you really getting married? With Uncle Gong?â
Ji Yuanyuan asked what everyone was thinking, so after she asked, everyone looked at Li Miao curiously.
Li Miao reached out and touched Ji Yuanyuanâs face, âOf course itâs fake. Iâm still in school. How can I get married?â
So it was fake!
Ji Yuanyuan felt inexplicably disappointed.
However, Little Aunt was going to take the postgraduate examination now. In terms of academic qualifications, Uncle Xiao Gong was indeed a little older than her.
It wasnât discrimination, but if the difference in education between two people was too big, their views on many things would be different. Even if they were together, they might not be able to talk to each other.
âHow did you know she was hospitalized? Who told you that?â Li Xu asked curiously, âIs it from Second Brother?â
Li Miao nodded, âSecond Brother told our parents. They came to look for me early in the morning and dragged me here to apologize.â
âYou should apologize. Youâre a junior. Even if she did something wrong, what can she do to you if you lower your head first?â
When the elevator reached the first floor, Zhang Kun came out first and blocked the elevator, waiting for the rest of the people to come out.
âI didnât say anything. Arenât I here?â Li Miao was a little helpless.
âThen, have you spoken to Xiao Gong? They all know each other. Donât let them know when the time comes.â Li Miao asked worriedly..
