Chapter 305 Forgot it completely!
Even though he expressed his dislike for Li Xiuneng, his granddaughter was determined to marry him. What else could Gu Jiu do but accept it?
Early the next morning, in order to properly receive the Li family, Gu Jiutian got up before dawn to arrange various matters.
He instructed the servants to clean and decorate the house carefully inside and outside, and also invited a professional team of chefs to prepare meals for lunch.
When Gu Ranle got up for morning exercise, when he went downstairs, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
The house looked brand new inside and out. The furniture was neatly arranged, the decorations were polished to a shine, and even the air was filled with a fresh scent.
She rubbed her eyes, looking confused, and thought she was dreaming about some luxurious palace.
"Grandpa, what's going on at home? Why did it suddenly change?" Gu Ranle couldn't help but ask.
Gu Jiu glared at her unhappily and said, "You're asking even though you already know the answer!"
"..."
Gu Ranle frowned, looking confused, wondering in his heart: Why did I ask this question when I already knew the answer?
"No, old man, what do you mean? Can you please explain it clearly?" Gu Ranle was a little anxious.
Only then did she remember that after a good night's sleep last night, she had completely forgotten that the Li family was coming over today to discuss her and Li Xiuneng's engagement and marriage.
What's even more outrageous is that she even forgot to tell Li Xiuneng last night that her grandfather didn't agree with them getting the marriage certificate first and insisted that they go through the normal process and get engaged first and then get married.
After breakfast, Gu Ranle hurried out to do some work.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Gu Jiu called her.
As soon as the call was connected, Gu Jiu's almost roaring voice came out: "What's going on with the Li family? It's already ten o'clock, and there's not even a shadow of a person in sight! With this attitude, you still want to marry you? I think you should break up with Li Xiuneng as soon as possible to avoid being bullied in the future!"
"..."
Gu Ranle stood there in a daze for several seconds before his brain seemed to be suddenly started.
She slapped her head hard, and the crisp sound seemed to wake her up.
"Grandpa, this is all my fault! I was confused last night and forgot to tell Li Xiuneng to ask his family to come to our house today to discuss the engagement. It's all my fault. I'll call him now and ask them to be at our house before noon." Gu Ranle had a look of regret on his face and spoke quickly, fearing that his grandfather would get angry again.
After saying that, she immediately cut off the thread, otherwise what would have been waiting for her would have been an even more angry roar from her grandfather, a sound that would probably have been enough to blow the roof off the house.
After the call was cut off, Gu Ranle hurriedly looked up Li Xiuneng's phone number and dialed it.
"No matter what method you use, you must rush to my house with your family before noon! Discuss our engagement and marriage with my grandfather today. Don't ask why it's so sudden. The reason is that I forgot to tell you. I'm outside now and can't get back before noon." Gu Ranle spoke in a crackling manner, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness in his tone.
Li Xiuneng on the other end of the phone: "..."
He was a little confused for a moment, his brain was like a tangled mess, and he couldn't react to what Gu Ranle said at all, so he could only remain silent.
"Li Xiuneng, did you hear what I said?" Gu Ran was happy to see that the other party did not respond, so she raised her voice and asked.
"I heard you, but baby, I don't understand what you mean?" Li Xiuneng looked bewildered, his voice full of confusion.
"Then you figure it out slowly on your own!" Gu Ranle said angrily and cut off the thread again.
She thought to herself, Li Xiuneng is usually very smart, why is he so stupid at the critical moment?
After Li Xiuneng cut off the thread, he sat there in a daze for a full minute before he came back to his senses.
He suddenly grinned and sat there grinning by himself, looking like he had won the lottery.
Li Jiashu was standing aside, watching Li Xiuneng being confused at first and then grinning foolishly after answering the phone, and he felt uneasy in his heart.
He couldn't help but ask, "Old Four, what's wrong with you?"
Could it be that this child was stimulated by something?
The more Li Jiashu thought about it, the more worried he became, and his brows were furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
It's over! It's over! It's over! The child's health has not recovered yet. If he becomes a fool because of this, what should I do?
He felt like there was a little rabbit in his heart, and he was in a state of panic.
"Fourth brother, are you okay?" Li Jiashu had a worried look on his face, and held Li Xiuneng's shoulders tightly with both hands, with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to convey all his concern to him.
He shook Li Xiuneng gently and said anxiously, "Old Four, no matter what happens, you must stay calm, stay calm! You still have us here, no matter what problems you encounter, we will stand by you unwaveringly. We are a family and your strongest backing, so you must stay calm and be strong."
"Strong?" At this time, Li Minghui strode in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his third son's words and couldn't help but frowned. He immediately cast his eyes on his fourth son, "Fourth son, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
"Dad," Li Jiashu explained hurriedly, "The fourth child might have been stimulated by something. I feel like there's something wrong with his brain..."
"You're the one with a problem in your brain!" Upon hearing this, Li Xiuneng immediately put away his silly smile, glared at Li Jiashu fiercely, then turned to look at Li Minghui and said, "Dad, we have to go to Gu's house today to discuss Lele and I's marriage. I should have told you about this yesterday, but I was so excited that I forgot everything."
"Ah? You actually forgot such an important thing!" Li Minghui panicked instantly when he heard it. His eyes widened and his face was full of anxiety. "That won't do. I'll call your eldest brother and ask him to prepare a gift quickly. This is the first time I'm visiting you formally, so we can't be impolite."
After that, he turned around and said to Li Jiashu: "Third brother, you can't just rely on your eldest brother for this matter. We have to make preparations for both situations. Go to the warehouse and take a good look. Move out the most expensive and best things for me. Don't leave anything behind."
"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away!" Li Jiashu responded, turned around and ran towards the warehouse, his steps hurried as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.
After explaining everything to Li Jiashu, Li Minghui stood there with a frown on his face, scratching his head with both hands, muttering to himself: "This is my first official visit, so I must not make any mistakes with the etiquette. Let me think about what else I need to prepare. Cigarettes, alcohol, and tea are definitely indispensable, and I also need to prepare some high-end supplements. Oh, and the gift for the old man of the Gu family, I also need to think about it carefully..."
"Dad, we need to prepare things, but the most important thing is that we have to arrive at Gu's house before 12 o'clock." Li Xiuneng reminded him, "It normally takes an hour to drive from here to Gu's house, so we are very tight on time."
"This is all your fault!" Li Minghui glared at Li Xiuneng unhappily, muttering, "You can forget such a big thing. I think you don't care about your marriage at all! Why did I give birth to you troublesome sons? Alas! What a miserable life!"
After saying that, Li Minghui sighed heavily and hurried upstairs.
As he went upstairs, he took out his cell phone and called his eldest son. As soon as the call was connected, he said anxiously, "Yes, let's go to Gu's house today to discuss the marriage of the fourth son and Lele. You should arrange the gifts quickly, and call the second son later and ask him to get to Gu's house before noon. This is the first official visit, and the etiquette must not be lost, understand?"
The eldest son on the other end of the phone quickly responded: "Dad, don't worry, I'll do it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Li Minghui was still a little worried. He hurried into the room and began to look through some of his treasures, thinking that if there were not enough things in the warehouse, he could use these to make up the number.
Of course, he definitely didn't mean to be perfunctory.
God knows how much he hopes Gu Ranle can marry the fourth brother and become the daughter-in-law of their Li family.
The entire Li family suddenly became busy because of this sudden engagement visit, and everyone was nervously preparing for this important meeting.
"Old Four, go change your clothes too!"
Li Minghui had already walked into the room when he remembered something. He turned around in a hurry and explained things to Li Xiuneng who was downstairs.
Li Xiuneng looked down at himself and didn't think there was anything wrong with his clothes.
"Change your black shirt to a white or pink one. You are so young, why do you wear something so old-fashioned all day long?"
