The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today-Chapter 902: Are You Really Going to Leave Me Behind?

Gu Zheng remained silent on the other end. Was there still time?

All the engagement procedures were progressing in an orderly manner, and he had promised the old man that he would attend the engagement ceremony.

The old man was getting old, and over the years, he had indeed worried a lot about him. And he, being a soldier, couldn’t go back on his promises.

As for his father, if it weren’t for the old man and his younger brother stepping in, he would have long lost patience with him. At that time, not only would he have trouble, but Mingmei would too.

In the past, Song Yansheng used to say, "Honestly, the main reason you’ve been able to live so peacefully in T City for so many years is because you have a good younger brother!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Gu Zheng naturally understood. He didn’t choose to take over the family business; instead, his brother, who had planned to become a world-class architect, took his place.

As for him, he chose the military profession he loved. After serving for many years and reaching his current position, he didn’t want to be laughed at by his family, especially his father, even though he initially didn’t plan on advancing that far.

It was rare not to let his father down, both he and his brother.

After a long pause, Gu Zheng said, "It’s too late. I’ll hang up now!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone before Song Yansheng could respond.

It was raining in S City today. Gu Zheng stood by the window holding his phone, staring at the rain outside, unmoving for a long time.

By the door behind him, Ye Mingmei stood with a red nose, holding back tears that wouldn’t fall.

Was it too late? Boss Gu, even if I came, even if I begged you, would you still insist on getting engaged to someone else and ignore me?

Really, would you ignore me?

...

In T City, Song Yansheng continued chopping vegetables, sighing, "A Zheng, he’s just too stubborn!"

Shi Nuan lowered her gaze and said, "I’ve always thought that birds of a feather flock together..."

Song Yansheng paused and turned to look at Shi Nuan, smiling, "Nuannuan, are you saying I’m stubborn too?"

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and said nothing, clearly acknowledging it.

Song Yansheng said, "Maybe, but my stubbornness is different from his. My stubbornness is about sticking to what I truly want in my heart. But as for him, he goes against and won’t admit his own feelings, stubbornly believing that what he’s doing is the best outcome. Little does he know that maybe his actions are hurting others and himself!"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered as she said, "My view differs from Second Uncle’s. I think it’s a good thing for Mr. Gu to get engaged now..."

"A good thing?" Song Yansheng laughed, "Nuannuan, tell me, how is it good?"

"There are three points. First, Mr. Gu has been with Mingmei in T City for so many years, showing that Mingmei is not accepted by Mr. Gu’s family. In such a situation, Mr. Gu going against his family’s wishes would bring a lot of trouble, especially with Mingmei, and it wouldn’t be easy for Mr. Gu to manage.

Second, Mr. Gu is unwilling to acknowledge his feelings now, and Mingmei is still naive, not understanding her own heart. They both need time to slowly figure things out. Engaging first to buy themselves some time is beneficial for them.

Third, for Mr. Gu and Mingmei to be together, they would have to overcome many challenges. Mr. Gu is a soldier with conservative thinking, and having been raised with a girl from a young age, he has a mental block. Now with a fiancée in between, whether it’s for him or Mingmei, it serves as a catalyst for their feelings and is a good thing!

Moreover, even if Mr. Gu doesn’t get engaged now, would things with Mingmei go smoothly? Not necessarily. So why make it complicated for both sides in the end?"
