Chapter 251 Ex-Fiancé

Gu Suixing has always been like this since she was a child. If she really wants to hide something, Lu Fengqing will turn the whole house upside down and still not find it.

For example, that box of sexy lingerie, or that gift.

While Gu Suixing was out, Lu Fengqing called Rui Rui along, and the two of them searched the house all day but couldn't find it.

Lu Fengqing sat cross-legged on the sofa, hooking her little hat up as she asked her son, "Tell me, where exactly did your dad hide the thing?"

Rui Rui shook her head. "I don't know."

Lu Fengqing's gaze fell on the little golden tortoise that her son was clutching tightly in his hand. Just as she was about to tease him, she suddenly received a call from Xie Chaowan.

"Niannian, the cheongsam is finished. I'll go pick it up later and have someone deliver it to Xinghe for you."

Hearing Xie Chaowan's gentle voice, Lu Fengqing gave a dry reply: "Okay."

Xie Chaowan asked her to try it on and see if there was anything wrong so she could send it back for modification. After chatting for a few minutes, she hung up the phone.

He acted tactfully, never mentioning Xie Chaoyin or the Xie family.

It seemed like they were carefully looking after her feelings.

Lu Fengqing couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

On the other end of the line, after hanging up the phone, Xie Chaowan asked Xie Chaoyin with a smile, "Did Niannian accept the gift?"

Xie Chaoyin: "It seems they accepted it."

"That's good. She'll definitely like it." Xie Chaowan said, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "Third Brother, this is a good omen."

Xie Chao didn't care about any good omens; he was content as long as his daughter accepted his gifts.

Xie Chaowan flipped through the calendar. "Tomorrow is the engagement banquet of Tang Wei's youngest son and Gu family's third daughter."

Xie Chaoyin frowned. "Tang Xingzhou?"

Xie Chaowan reminded: "Niannian's ex-fiancé."

Xie Chaowan already disliked people with the surname Tang, and Tang Xingzhou had done such a thing, cuckolding his niece, which made Xie Chaowan extremely disgusted.

Xie Chaoyin had investigated Lu Fengqing, so he naturally knew about this matter, even more thoroughly than Xie Chaowan.

While Gu Suixing was certainly behind what happened on Tang Xingzhou's birthday, Tang Xingzhou had already wronged his daughter first. It was too lenient of him to scheme against Tang Xingzhou by having him sleep with another woman and thus ruin the engagement.

And then there's Old Master Lu's granddaughter, who dared to scheme against his daughter. If he didn't feel guilty towards the Lu family and for failing Lu Yunsi, and if the Lu family hadn't indeed raised his daughter for over twenty years, he wouldn't have let Lu Yuhan off the hook.

However, just because there are some things he can't do doesn't mean that kid Gu Suixing can't do them either.

Thinking about this, Xie Chaoyin became even more dissatisfied with this prospective son-in-law.

Xie Chaowan suddenly smiled, "I heard that Niannian's cousin still can't forget that boy from the Tang family."

Xie Chaoyin seemed to be deep in thought.

Xie Chaowan didn't continue the topic. She put down the calendar, picked up the pencil beside her, and continued to refine the design draft on the drawing.

“Niannian is probably getting married next year, so while there’s still time, I’m planning to make her a wedding dress… She likes sparkly things. Mom gave me all her jewelry that she’s treasured for decades a few days ago, and I’ll pick some out and use it to sew onto her wedding dress. Third Brother, could you find me a box of small diamonds and some gold and silver thread when you have time?”

Xie Chaoyin snapped out of his daze and replied gently, "Okay."

-

Tomorrow is the day of Gu Weiwei and Tang Xingzhou's engagement. The invitations have already been sent to the Lu family. Lu Yuhan has been in a bad mood these days.

She offended Lu Fengqing and her uncle's family for Tang Xingzhou's sake, so why should Gu Weiwei be able to reap the benefits in the end?

That woman, Gu Weiwei, even caused her to lose her child.

She couldn't swallow this insult.

Wen Ying keenly sensed that something was wrong with her daughter and warned, "You're not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow. Stay home."

Lu Yuhan retorted, "When did I say I was going out?"

Ever since losing her child, Lu Yuhan's temper at home has gotten worse day by day, especially in front of Wen Ying, where she would argue back at the slightest disagreement.

Wen Ying ignored her and turned to instruct the servants to keep an eye on her.

Lu Yuhan had no intention of going out and went upstairs to her room with a nonchalant expression.

My phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a message from an unknown number.

Lu Yuhan casually clicked on it and glanced at it, then paused, stunned.

The next moment, the corners of her lips slowly curved upwards.

-

Today is Sunday, and Gu Suixing should be at home with his wife and son.

He only went out because Huo Huai'an called him out.

It wasn't anything important; they just wanted to call him to the police station to watch the show with Gu Zhenhao's family.

Just an hour earlier, Gu Zhenhao dragged his wife, Tang Xiang, who had just woken up while still lying in the hospital bed, and personally took her to the police station.

The couple was arguing fiercely in the police station, almost to the point of physical violence, and no amount of persuasion or warnings from the police could change their minds.

Gu Jingdong sat between the two, listening to his parents' argument without saying a word.

Huo Huai'an sighed, "Gu Jingdong is really unlucky."

After working so hard and diligently for so long, and finally seeing some progress, I was betrayed by my own mother.

Gu Suixing said calmly, "He brought it on himself."

After a while, Huo Huai'an said again, "I received news that Gu Jingdong went to the Zhong family before coming to the police station."

The marriage between Gu Jingdong and Miss Zhong was arranged by Gu Jinhong years ago. Miss Zhong was the only daughter in the Zhong family, and for the Zhong couple, their daughter's happiness was more important than climbing the social ladder.

Gu Jingdong decided to take the blame for his mother and suddenly went to the Zhong family, either to appease them or to discuss annulmenting the engagement.

Gu Suixing sneered, "He's found a good excuse to annul the engagement."

Judging from Gu Suixing's tone, Huo Huai'an keenly sensed that something was amiss and quickly asked, "What is it?"

Gu Suixing didn't answer, took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call.

The voice of Butler Fang came through the receiver: "Young Master, if you don't have anything else urgent, you should hurry back to the old house."

Gu Suixing frowned. "What happened?"

Butler Fang hesitated, then said, "The Zhong family has come with their daughter, saying they want to annul the engagement."

Gu Suixing: "This matter should be discussed with Gu Zhenhao and Gu Jingdong. Why are you asking me?"

After hesitating for a while, Butler Fang finally said only one sentence: "In any case, you should come back first."

"Okay." Gu Suixing didn't ask any more questions and turned to walk out.

Huo Huai'an was stunned for a moment, "Sui Xing, where are you going?"

Gu Suixing: "Let's go back to the old house."

The noise around me suddenly stopped.

Huo Huai'an looked at Gu Zhenhao's family.

Gu Zhenhao answered a phone call, and after hearing what the person on the other end said, his expression changed drastically. He pushed aside the noisy Tang Xiang and hurriedly asked the police, "My wife was the arsonist. My son only came to take the blame because he felt sorry for his mother. Now that my wife is here, can I take my son back?"
