Mr. Li looked at his son Li Decai who was lowering his head, and felt a little proud.

Naturally, there is nothing bad about his sons. They are truly worthy of being the descendants of the Li family!

"Second Master Gu, the boy has grown up and it's time for him to get married. Yesterday, he fell in love with your daughter and came to propose marriage in a hurry without even telling me and his mother."

"He told us everything when he got back yesterday. We were really shocked."

"Tell me about this child. Even if you like your girl, you shouldn't ask a matchmaker to propose marriage without going through your parents, right?"

Even Gu Laoer was confused. What did Rich Man Li mean by this?

"Ahem, yesterday's incident has been resolved. It's all fine now. Mr. Li, you don't have to be so polite."

Don't hit a smiling person. Gu Laoer responded to Mr. Li with a smile. There was nothing he could do. He had been an accountant in the town for many years and had developed a fear of Mr. Li in his bones.

At this time, Mr. Li came with his wife and spoke to him politely, which was different from the arrogant look he had seen in the town before. This made Gu Laoer even more frightened.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li smiled and nodded, saying, "It's good that Mr. Gu can forgive my boy. What do you think about the children's marriages?"

Hearing that the wealthy Mr. Li kept talking about Gu Yunyan and Li Decai, even if Gu Lao Er wanted to change the subject, he couldn't.

Therefore, Gu Lao Er could only smile awkwardly and said with a stiff face: "Mr. Li, to be honest, although my daughter has not yet been engaged, her mother has other ideas about her marriage."

This is already a tactful statement. A man like Mr. Li is also a smart person. He must be able to hear the meaning of my refusal, right? Gu Laoer thought.

Sure enough, when Mr. Li heard what Gu Laoer said, his face suddenly turned dark.

He was very unhappy, and Li Decai became even angrier.

I have personally brought my parents and the matchmaker here today, showing my full sincerity, but this Gu Laoer's family is still trying to make trouble!

What a bunch of peasants. If it wasn't for Madam Lu, would he and his parents have to be so humble?

Mr. Li said coldly, "So Mr. Gu, do you think highly of my son?"

"Oh, it's not that I don't like him, Young Master Li is a good person. It's just that Young Master Li is not suitable for my daughter." Gu Lao Er broke into a sweat and answered uneasily.

"Although our Gu family is not wealthy, and we are not as wealthy as your family, Mr. Li, we are also a farming and reading family, and we attach great importance to studying and making progress. The mother hopes that her daughter can marry a scholar of equal status in the future."

"Mr. Li, it's not that I dislike Young Master Li, it's just that it's not suitable. It's really not suitable."

Gu Laoer has said so much, if Li Cai still doesn't understand, he would be a real fool.

Mr. Li's face darkened even more. He did not reply, but asked Li Decai, "Son, didn't you say that you and Miss Gu were in love with each other?"

Li Decai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked up at Gu Yunyan.

Gu Yunyan was originally sitting behind Gu Laoer, listening quietly to everyone's conversation. When she saw Li Decai looking at her, her heart skipped a beat.

She glared back and said unhappily, "No, Master Li, what are you looking at me for?"

"Your father is asking you a question, not asking me, so just answer truthfully!"

Li Decai raised his lips and said, "Dad, my son and Miss Gu are indeed in love with each other."

When Gu Yunyan heard this, she immediately stood up from her chair and asked loudly, "No, Li Decai, are you sick? Who is in love with you?"

It’s just because of the jade pendant, why does Li Decai keep pestering her?

It’s so annoying! Being good-looking is also a burden!

Gu Yunyan frowned, staring at Li Decai, and said, "With your appearance, you still expect me to like you? Go home and look in the bronze mirror!"

These words were very unpleasant to hear, and they were extremely irritating to Li Decai.

Although he does look a bit stronger, that's because he comes from a wealthy family and eats well, so he gained weight!

Gu Yunyan, this country bumpkin, is only so arrogant because she relies on her good looks and her family to propose to her!

Later, he will bring Gu Yunyan into the house and see how he will deal with her!

"Miss Gu, how can you talk like that? What's wrong with my son? Aren't you a girl, and your words are too harsh?"

Li Decai's mother had been silent the whole time, but when she heard someone say that her son was ugly, she could no longer sit still and stood up and glared at Gu Yunyan.

When Gu Yunyan saw Madam Li stand up, her originally arrogant attitude suddenly shrank by half.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yunyan stiffened her neck and replied, "Madam Li, I am not wrong. Look at your son yourself. Is he worthy of me?"

"I know your family is rich and wealthy, but I don't like them. Our family will have these things in the future."

"Besides, I have a cousin who is an official in the capital. My brother's future will definitely be bright. You should leave quickly. It's not suitable!"

"A family of scholars like us will never marry a merchant like you!"

Mrs. Li was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"You, do you think you are so noble? Bah, if my son hadn't insisted that we come to propose marriage, I wouldn't have come to such a shabby place!"

"Li Decai, get up right now. Let's go home! I'll find you a better and more beautiful wife!"

Mrs. Li stood up and pulled Li Decai.

Mr. Li looked gloomy and said to Gu Lao Er, "So this is how the second master Gu's family is taught. When the adults are talking, they let a girl interrupt them."

"Since your girl has high aspirations and doesn't like my son, then forget it."

"Son, let's go home and take care of the business. Dad will find you a better wife."

Mr. Li had been pampered since he was a child and had never been treated like this. What Gu Yunyan said today was so harsh that it made him very angry.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Li was the Madam Lu behind Gu Laoer's family, he would have wanted to turn against them on the spot.

Li Decai didn't expect that his parents' visit today would make things even more embarrassing.

Gu Yunyan, this bitch, her own parents came to propose marriage in person, but she is still making trouble! Bitch!

Li Decai took a deep breath, smiled flatteringly, and asked, "Miss Gu, can't you really consider me again?"

He pointed at the gifts on the table and said, "Although my family is not a scholarly family, we are rich. We have countless silver and money. If you marry me, you will have everything you want in the future."

"Look at these, and these too. Our family can buy countless rolls of silk and satin like this. And these snacks are the best in the city. Ten taels of silver per box. If you like them in the future, you can ask someone to buy them for you!"

"And this pearl, it's a precious thing from the south..."
