Zhuang Yan has more and more little secrets. Lu Yan likes Zhuang Yan like this. People are always curious about mysterious things and want to explore them.
Zhuang Yan was like a treasure to her, and she wanted to uncover his little secrets little by little.
Lu Yan replied to An Xinrong, "Of course I know. I was the one who told Zhuang Yan, which is why we dared to take action directly."
"Oh, is that so..." An Xinrong was easily fooled and didn't think much of it. She patted her chest and said, "You guys scared me to death just now. I was really afraid that Lu Yu would call the police to arrest you."
The three were standing by the roadside when the driver pulled up in his car.
Zhuang Yan: "We're leaving now, you should go back to the hotel." An Xinrong is, after all, a celebrity, and it's easy for her to be recognized when she's out and about.
An Xinrong had originally planned to go back to the hotel to rest. When she saw Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan get into the car, she waved. It wasn't until the car had driven far away that she realized why Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan got into the same car. Were they going in the same direction?
Inside the carriage, Zhuang Yan stared straight ahead, while Lu Yan leaned against the door: "Zhuang Yan, do you still have many secrets that I don't know?"
Zhuang Yan's throat tightened; he wasn't ready to be honest with Lu Yan and seek leniency.
Sensing Zhuang Yan's nervousness, Lu Yan chuckled softly: "If you don't want to talk about it, then you don't have to. After all, everyone has secrets."
He didn't want to tell Lu Yan his own secrets yet, but he could openly talk about other people's secrets.
"Gu Qian has been keeping a woman on the side, and they even have a child together. Today is not only his wedding day but also the day he becomes a father."
Lu Yan really hadn't expected this, but thinking about it carefully, it wasn't surprising that Gu Qian would do something like this.
Lu Yan raised her eyes slightly, looking quite interested: "Good things come in pairs, I just wonder how Xia Wan will feel when she finds out. She's already a mother before even consummating the marriage."
You have to walk the path you chose. Xia Wan will eventually find out just how dirty this mess is.
If Xia Wan knew that Gu Qian even had an illegitimate child, she would probably regret missing out on Zhuang Yan even more.
All misfortunes are relative, and Xia Wan's mentality has lost its balance. I believe it won't be long before it completely collapses.
A wedding banquet binds Gu Qian and Xia Wan together. Without the help of the Zhuang family, Gu Qian is like a person blown to the edge of a cliff by the wind. His instinct for survival will make him hold on to this last straw.
Gu Qian's nature is to be driven by profit. He wants not only money, but also fame, fortune and power. Now that the Zhuang family can no longer be relied upon, the only family he can rely on is the Xia family. In order to secure his position as the Xia family's son-in-law, guess what such a selfish person will do?
He would use every trick in the book to tie Xia Wan to him, from the wedding to the marriage certificate, and then to having children.
Like a bloodsucking worm clinging to Xia Wan, trying to drain all the blood from her body and then take its place.
The truth will eventually come out, so Zhuang Yan doesn't need to do anything. He only needs to watch coldly as those who hurt him get their comeuppance. The day when dogs fight each other will come sooner or later.
The pieces are ready; all that's left is to arrange them.
...
In the hotel, Xia Wan had already changed out of her wedding dress. She wanted to go out and inquire about Xia Qingshan, but Gu Qian stopped her.
"Wanwan, enough accidents have happened today. We can't just leave so many guests here. Besides, Uncle Xia said he'll be fine. You should trust him. Let's finish the wedding ceremony."
Xia Wan asked, "Aren't you worried about the bookmakers?"
Gu Qian sighed, "I'm worried, but I don't know anything about this. What's the use of worrying?" All he could think about was how to get the Zhuang family's assets. If Chairman Zhuang Chongming went to jail, the company would need someone to manage it, right? Could he be put in charge of it?
"Let's go outside and offer a toast."
Xia Wan bit her lip hard, the pain pulling her back to reality. Gu Qian was right; she couldn't act recklessly anymore. The best course of action now was to settle the guests at the scene.
Xia Wan's eyes were still red. She tidied her makeup and took off her heavy headdress.
She stared at herself in the mirror, her face pale and unrecognizable as someone getting married. A wedding is supposed to be a joyous occasion, but she couldn't feel happy at all. Her eyes were swollen, and she tried to adjust her expression, managing only to force a smile that looked worse than crying.
She chose this path herself, and no matter what, she will continue down it.
The audience has already had their fill of the joke; all they can do is prevent it from escalating further.
Xia Wan looked at the gate, feeling timid. Stepping out of here, she would face those mocking gazes again.
Their eyes seemed to mock her for overestimating herself and being delusional.
Having lived all these years, this is the first time I've ever been treated like a monkey.
Gu Qian took her hand and encouraged her, "Let's go, I'm here with you."
With a hundred tables of people, it takes quite a while to toast everyone. Even though it's red wine with a low alcohol content, drinking more than a hundred glasses can make people feel a bit dizzy.
While Xia Wan was still lucid, Gu Qian urged her to get their marriage certificate. Sure enough, Xia Wan's expression became hesitant as soon as the topic of marriage certificate was mentioned.
She didn't want to get the marriage certificate because she wanted to leave herself a way out, but that way out was already blocked when Lu Yan said those words in public. If she had any shame, she wouldn't have refused to get the marriage certificate.
“Wife,” Gu Qian said, holding Xia Wan’s hands, “we agreed from the beginning that the wedding and marriage registration would all be done on this day. The Civil Affairs Bureau is right next door, so we don’t need to queue and it will be done quickly.”
“Our marriage has already gone viral, and there are so many people watching. If you don’t register our marriage, people will really think you’re still hung up on Zhuang Yan.”
She did indeed still have feelings for Zhuang Yan, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Gu Qian: "Zhuang Yan deliberately caused so much trouble today, and even called the police to take Dad away. If you have any more rumors about him now, where will Dad put his face? The most urgent thing is for us to take action to stop the rumors."
"To be honest, I feel very insecure right now. I'm always worried about gains and losses. I'm thinking, if the dealer really runs into trouble this time, and I'm no longer of any use to you, will you abandon me?" Gu Qian said with a bitter smile, feeling a pang of sadness.
“I don’t have a good background. It was you who went to great lengths to introduce me to the dealer. I’m afraid that if the dealer gets into trouble this time, people will say that I’m not good enough for you, that you will look down on me, and that Dad will kick me out.”
The subtext is: the bookmaker is in trouble now, do you want to abandon me?
Gu Qian is very good at manipulating people's hearts. First, he made Xia Wan regain her rationality and stop the damage in time. At the same time, he used moral blackmail to make her emotional.
Women are naturally more emotional, especially when they are not thinking clearly. Just say a few nice words, play the victim a little, and use some reverse psychology to control her.
Sure enough, Xia Wan immediately followed up with, "How could I possibly dislike you..."
Gu Qian pressed his advantage: "Then let's get our marriage certificate."
Gu Qian had already prepared his household registration booklet. The Civil Affairs Bureau was very close by, so he didn't even need to drive.
Gu Qian smiled broadly in the red notebook, while Xia Wan only stiffly tugged at one corner of her lips, her smile looking awkward. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had been forced to come.
