Chapter 1037 Discussion
As Gong Qing spoke, he raised Gu Wanqiu's hand and announced his intentions to everyone present.
He simply and clearly told Madam Gong that he was determined to marry Gu Wanqiu, and no one could refute it, including his biological mother.
Madam Gong was in disbelief, her whole body was shaking like a sieve, her face was as white as paper, and her lips had turned pale. This was the son she had raised with great effort, this was the son she had nurtured for so many years, and now he treated her like this for a woman who was nothing, and threatened to take away everything she had.
Did he forget who gave him the platform he has now? Without her as his mother, he wouldn't be here.
How could he do this to her! How could he!
Gong Qing ignored her pale face. After saying this, he took Gu Wanqiu's hand and left. Madam Gong's heart-wrenching voice came from behind them.
"Gong Qing, come back here! You're going to rebel, aren't you? Have you forgotten who raised you so hard? How could you do this to me? Gong Qing! What's so good about that woman? You turned against your own parents for her. Sooner or later, you'll regret it. That woman is a disaster! Sooner or later, you will fall for her, and then you won't even have room for regrets. This Gu Wanqiu is not the same Gu Wanqiu. She's just a substitute, a disaster, a fake!"
I yelled too loudly, and then I coughed, and the sound gradually became inaudible...
Butler Li was also at a loss. He wanted to keep Gong Qing but didn't know how to do it. The scene was a mess...
Gong Qing strode forward and led Gu Wanqiu out of the Gong family's house. Gu Wanqiu gradually lost the ability to keep up with his pace. After leaving the Gong family's house, she hurriedly called out to him, "Old Gong...slow down, it's too fast, I can't keep up..."
Gong Qing was like a voice robot. After hearing Gu Wanqiu's words, he paused and stopped suddenly. Gu Wanqiu almost bumped into his back.
Before she could say anything, Gong Qing had already apologized.
"sorry."
"I'm fine. But you, did it hurt when your mom hit you on the back?"
Gong Qing's back was still wet, but fortunately the weather was cool today and Gong Qing was wearing a coat, the thickness of which could withstand the force.
Gong Qing shook his head: "Fortunately, I didn't hurt you. Her words..." He paused, organized his words, and said firmly, "Don't take it to heart. I said, I'm determined to be with you and only you in this life."
"I didn't take it to heart. You don't have to say sorry to me. But you, was it worth it for me and your mother to make such a fuss?"
"What's worth it? This is what I should do. Do I want you to leave me because of what she said? You know I can't do that. I won't let you go."
Gu Wanqiu looked into his eyes. She could see that Gong Qing was trying very hard to get close to him. She couldn't help laughing.
It wasn't a forced smile to comfort him, but a smile that came from within. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents. She raised her hand and took the initiative to hook it around Gong Qing's neck, moving closer to him: "I'm very happy."
"She treated you like that, and you're still happy? Are you that careless?"
Gu Wanqiu shook her head. "You're completely on my side, refutating your parents for me. You've been so kind to me, how could I not be happy? Besides, your mother's hostility towards me is because I'm not as good as the 'Gu Wanqiu' of the past. She doesn't know, but don't I? This is all my fault. The more she mentions the 'Gu Wanqiu' of the past, isn't she indirectly praising me? And I learned something else from her."
Gong Qing didn't expect Gu Wanqiu to be so open-minded, but it made sense. He followed up on Gu Wanqiu's words and asked, "Anything else?"
"That's right. I know you loved me in the past, and I was very happy and satisfied. So this trip today was worth it. Your parents don't know about this, so it's normal for them to look down on me."
"What do you mean it's normal to look down on you? Everyone is equal, no one looks down on anyone. In short, I brought you to the Gong family this time to express my feelings to you. There are some procedures that I don't care about, but you may care about, such as meeting my parents. But I am not very happy about this trip today, and I feel unhappy for you too. If others don't respect you, you don't have to respect them, even if these people are my parents. In the future, we should come here less often, live our own lives, and not live with them. Your happiness is the most important thing." Gong Qing held Gu Wanqiu's hand and said these words solemnly, emphasizing that Gu Wanqiu should not compromise and put herself in a difficult position.
He has been teaching Gu Wanqiu these principles over the years, and Gu Wanqiu has learned them to some extent. Today, she even refuted Madam Gong for once, which was a rare occasion. Gong Qing was quite satisfied with this change, and he must praise her when it is due.
"Are you satisfied with my performance today?" Gu Wanqiu asked.
"Hmm—not bad, stronger than I thought. Quite independent."
"Then does our previous agreement still stand?"
"What agreement?"
Gu Wanqiu's face immediately fell. "Are you going to go back on your word? We agreed before that after I meet your parents, if I can adapt, you will let me go out alone."
"This is a foreign country. You've never been out alone before. Are you sure you can adapt? Have you memorized the way? Don't go out alone and get lost. Foreign countries are different from China. If you get lost, it will be difficult for me to find you."
"I remember that when I took the bus here just now, I memorized the surrounding buildings. If you ask me to go back to my house now, I can find it and I won't get lost at all. Besides, I seem to be a little familiar with this place. I'm not as incompetent as you think." Gu Wanqiu tried hard to argue, wanting Gong Qing to stop staring at her too closely. She was not a child and understood what she should understand.
Even if you have a dog, you should loosen the collar around its neck and not keep it tied up all the time.
Gu Wanqiu was afraid that Gong Qing wouldn't agree, so she held his wrist with both hands and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Old Gong, just promise me. You said it to me when we were studying in Rongcheng. If you don't agree to me... I will be angry."
"What happens when you get angry?"
Gong Qing's tone was teasing, but Gu Wanqiu didn't realize she was really sulking. She let go of his hand and turned her back to him: "I'm just going to ignore you."
After being poked on the shoulder, Gu Wanqiu ignored it.
Gong Qing held her shoulders, his eyes smiling. "Why are you so careless? I didn't say I didn't agree with you going out alone. You just went abroad, and just meeting my parents doesn't mean anything. I'll walk you back later to see if you can remember the way home. If you remember, I agree."
