Chapter 346 The girl I like is much better than Shen Yuzhu!

Once the mysterious organization gets going, it's quite efficient.

At this time, Shen Yuzhu, far away in the capital, had no idea that because of Su Wanwan, who might already be dead, she was being targeted by a behemoth.

Now, Shen Yuzhu feels that without Su Wanwan's constraints and without the oppressive mountain above her head, everything is wonderful.

Even though the current conditions seem rather simple, lacking the convenient and comfortable life of later generations, she is still able to enjoy everything that is unimaginable to ordinary people because she is the eldest daughter of a prominent family.

Moreover, this time Shen Yuzhu had no further dealings with Gu Yancheng, and after returning to the capital, she immediately got engaged to Zhang Tuo.

Both the Zhang and Shen families are prominent and influential families in the capital. They were naturally very happy to see their children falling in love.

However, the Gu family, who had always been close friends with the Shen family, were quite indignant when they heard that Shen Yuzhu, their intended daughter-in-law, had changed her mind. They even came over to question the Shen family about their intentions.

Shen Yuzhu had nothing to hide and openly told the elders of the Shen family:

“Uncle and Aunt, you can go back and ask Gu Yancheng what he thinks. If he is willing to spend his life with me, I will naturally agree. But he himself said a long time ago that it is impossible for us. He doesn’t like me and doesn’t like being controlled by me. When we were sent to the countryside in Northeast China, he didn’t let me get involved in his affairs at all.”

"Uncle and Aunt, I also need to consider my reputation, don't I? Gu Yancheng doesn't like me, so am I supposed to beg him to marry me?"

"You all know your son's temperament better than anyone else. If I really do this, he will only resent me more and it will be even less likely that he will stay with me. So whatever I do will be wrong. What am I supposed to do? Just sit there waiting for Gu Yancheng to change his mind?"

"Tell me, how many years do you think is appropriate for me to wait? I'm not young anymore. Some of my childhood friends have already had children. I can't wait any longer. So, this really isn't my fault..."

Well, the Gu family originally came to confront them, but after learning the truth, they realized they really didn't know what their son meant. They immediately felt that their actions were very abrupt, leaving them in a dilemma.

These days, things aren't as enlightened as they are in later generations. If a young woman's reputation is ruined, her life is over.

Moreover, a lady of high birth like Shen Yuzhu would be even more concerned about her reputation.

Regardless, if what Shen Yuzhu said is true, then the Gu family would be the villains.

The Gu family is known for its strict upbringing, and the children raised by Madam Gu are quite outstanding.

However, their old man is really not a good person, and the Gu family almost collapsed because of the huge scandal that Old Gu and Luo Donghua caused. It was Madam Gu who turned the tide and led the Gu family to rise again, and they have only just gained a foothold now.

When Gu Yancheng's parents heard that Shen Yuzhu was engaged to someone else, they thought that the other party was taking advantage of her misfortune, which is why they rushed over in a huff.

It turned out that once the truth came out, it was their own son who was disappointing and made his parents lose face.

Gu Yancheng's father, Gu Chongshan, originally went to the Shen family in a fit of anger to confront them, but ended up being humiliated and invited out by the Shen family.

They were very polite, but they made the Gu family feel like they were in a bad situation.

Gu Chongshan was filled with pent-up anger. Thinking about everything the Gu family had experienced these past few days, he felt his anger intensify.

So, as soon as he returned to the Gu family, he grabbed a wooden stick and went straight to Gu Yancheng:

"You brat, explain yourself clearly. I sent Yuzhu with me to the countryside so you two could develop a relationship. Did you hurt that girl?"

Seeing his father's furious expression, Gu Yancheng remained remarkably calm:

"Dad, don't say that. Shen Yuzhu and I are not on the same path. She's with Zhang Tuo now, and that's fine."

Hearing his son speak like that, Gu Chongshan knew perfectly well that Shen Yuzhu from the Shen family was absolutely right, and there wasn't a single lie in her words.

It's because their own son is a disappointment; he has a great daughter-in-law but chooses to stay single instead.

"I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son! Do you know how difficult things are for our family right now? Do you know how much easier things would be if we had the Shen family's support?"

"You don't want such a good ally? What else do you want?"

"Tell me honestly, you didn't fall for a country girl during this trip to the countryside, did you?"

"Let me tell you, this kind of woman has no idea she can get into our Gu family! You'd better give up on that idea as soon as possible!"

Hearing his father's words, Gu Yancheng wasn't worried at all. He simply waved his hand and said:

"Dad, I know you're very anxious! Please calm down and let me explain slowly."

"Mom, you're really something. My dad has high blood pressure, why didn't you try to persuade him to be more careful?"

Hearing Gu Yancheng's words, his mother Zhang Yumei was also taken aback. She knew her son's temper best; he was very stubborn.

Moreover, once he's made up his mind, no amount of pressure from his family or the outside world will change it. If his son has set his mind on that girl, it will be very difficult to get Gu Yancheng to back down.

Zhang Yumei gently patted Gu Chongshan's back to help him catch his breath.

"You're really something, you're so old, and you've already taken on an important position, how come you're still so impatient?"

"That's our own son. The girl he likes will definitely not be bad. He has high standards!"

"He didn't even like Yuzhu, which proves that the girl is even better than Yuzhu. Let's hear what our son has to say first..."

Upon hearing his mother's words, Gu Yancheng couldn't help but nod emphatically:

“That’s right! Mom, you’re absolutely right! Zi Xi is indeed much better than that Shen Yu Zhu! She’s a great writer and a combat hero who captured enemy agents, making great contributions to the country and the organization.”

"You all think that Shen Yuzhu's connection to the Shen family is a huge advantage, right? Zixi's family is also very powerful. Her uncle now holds an important position, much higher than you, Father!"

"Besides, I think her uncle is going to rise in the ranks in the future, and Zi Xi is very much favored by him. Don't you think it's much better for me to be with a girl like that than with Shen Yuzhu?"

Hearing their son's words, not only Zhang Yumei, the mother, but also Gu Chongshan, the father who had been furious, were dumbfounded. The couple looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is there really such a wonderful girl? This is too amazing... What incredible luck did my son have? To run into such a fairy-like girl in the countryside!
