Volume 1 Chapter 103 The Truth of the Marriage
Hearing Zhu Sheng's words, He Yao was stunned, his face full of surprise.
He didn't expect that Zhu Sheng, who seemed to have nothing in common with him, would repeatedly stand on his side and talk to him.
What made He Yao most sad was that even at this time, Lin Muyun had no intention of addressing his questions.
Even if he did something wrong, can't all these years of sincere dedication be exchanged for a calm communication?
Zhu Sheng’s remarks made Lin Muyun, who was originally feeling a little guilty, furious.
"Zhu Sheng, what does this have to do with you? What do you mean I deliberately lied to him? Even if I didn't like He Yao that much at that time, I still chose him to be my husband in the end.
Apart from the first few years of love between husband and wife, don’t they just live together afterwards? I have contributed money and effort in the three years of marriage, so as a wife, I have nothing to be sorry about.”
Then, Lin Muyun sneered with disgust on his face.
"When my career and family were both successful, you were crying somewhere. How dare you pretend to be a love mentor in front of me?"
Zhu Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but in order to further stimulate Lin Muyun, he could only deliberately go along with what she said.
"Oh? Apart from anything else, there is one thing I definitely have more experience with than you, and that is how to become Mrs. Gu in a natural way.
"You've been engaged, confessed your love, and gone through so much trouble over the years, but in the end you still got nothing. Isn't that infuriating?"
"you!"
Lin Muyun was extremely angry and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he was speechless.
That’s right, Zhu Sheng is at least a daughter-in-law listed in the Gu family tree, and even after the divorce, she still has the identity of an ex-wife.
Unlike her, she got nothing except a childhood sweetheart and now at most a crazy admirer.
The sound of the two women quarreling made He Yao feel more and more heartbroken.
Lin Muyun would rather quarrel with Zhu Sheng than have a frank talk with him.
Well, since the Lin family is unwilling to say, he can just turn around and ask someone else.
After all, there was more than one person involved at the scene.
He Yao had a hunch that if he missed this opportunity, no one would take his problem seriously after the show.
In order to find out the truth, He Yao decided to put aside his dignity as a man and take the initiative to ask Gu Chiye for advice.
"Mr. Gu, without involving any commercial secrets, can you tell me the real reason why you cancelled your engagement with Mu Yun?
This matter is very serious to me, and it has even affected my life to a certain extent. I really don’t want to continue living in the same darkness as before.”
Gu Chiye looked He Yao up and down.
The man had a firm gaze and a look of great pain hidden beneath his face. That incident must have troubled him for a long time.
To be honest, after learning that Lin Muyun had ill intentions towards him and hearing Zhu Sheng's reminder, he thought that there was a high probability that there was something wrong with Lin Muyun now.
But there is too little information at hand, and even Gu Chiye himself only has a vague understanding of many things.
Facing He Yao's questioning, he decided to be honest and told him the whole story of the marriage.
“The engagement was arranged when my mother was still alive, but it was just a joke at the dinner table. In fact, the two families never held a formal engagement ceremony, and few people took it seriously when they grew up.
A few years ago, in order to take over the Gu family business, I needed to choose a family with a real estate development background in Huacheng for marriage. After comparing, the Zhu family's conditions were the most suitable. After deciding, I personally went to the Lin family to send the wedding invitation. "
Speaking of this, Gu Chiye was also a little confused. Was he too slow and dull back then?
Not only did she never notice Lin Muyun's thoughts, she also unconsciously informed Lin's mother that she would marry into the Zhu family in a month.
However, Lin's mother didn't say anything at the time, and she even enthusiastically offered to come over at any time to help arrange the wedding.
At that time, Gu Chiye was only thinking about how to secure his position as the boss of the Gu family as soon as possible. There were a dozen brothers and uncles in the company, and his scumbag father, none of them were easy to deal with.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind, so there is no time to talk about love.
Most of the Lin family's businesses are in the fields of fashion and fast-moving consumer goods, and they cannot provide him with much help.
As for other big families in the wealthy circle, he suspected that they were related to the truth of his mother's car accident. He was worried about inviting a wolf into the house, so he decisively gave up some marriage candidates who seemed to have better conditions.
So, after much deliberation, they chose the Zhu family, which was on the edge of the upper class circle at that time.
Although the industry is not big, it has the advantage of a clean background, professional counterparts, and is easy to control.
Even so, he was not completely relieved, and deliberately added a time limit for the marriage to prevent the Zhu family from becoming too greedy and severing the relationship in the future.
Sure enough, after working together a few times, he realized that Zhu Qi had evil intentions.
After the planned collaborations ended, Gu Chiye successfully took control of the company's core power and gradually distanced himself from the Zhu family.
As for the Zhu family's current defection, it was completely within his expectations.
In the live broadcast room, the audience heard Gu Chiye's answer and once again lamented that the so-called marriage was also a scam.
[So, this is another one-man show by Lin Muyun. There was no formal engagement at all. It was just a joke marriage. But she has remembered it for so many years? ]
[Do you remember that when Lin Muyun first entered the entertainment industry, she would hype up the fairy-tale love between rich childhood sweethearts every now and then. Some entertainment tabloids directly said that she was Mr. Gu’s fiancée, and she never denied it once.]
[The day Gu Chiye returned to being the richest man in Huacheng, it became a hot search. Lin Muyun’s fans directly shouted “the wife of the richest man” in the entry. How many people became her fans because of this character. ]
[Since they have never been formally engaged, how can they cancel the engagement? Lin Muyun is really good at playing with information asymmetry, and he can make everyone around him think that she is the future wife. ]
[No wonder Lin Muyun was so devastated when Gu Chiye got married. He could only rely on meal replacements to get through it. The beautiful dream he had been pursuing for more than ten years was shattered like this. Who can bear it? ]
He Yao was surprised to hear Gu Chiye's version.
He never expected that the engagement that had been a thorn in his side for so many years was actually just a childhood joke.
Almost everyone knows about this matter, and I think Lin Muyun must have contributed to it.
However, even though Gu Chiye explained the whole story to him so seriously, if he thought about it carefully, there were still many unnatural points.
The strangest thing was the Lin family's reaction.
It would be fine if Gu Chiye didn't care about the engagement, but when he decided to marry into the Zhu family, why didn't anyone from the Lin family object?
Others won’t say anything, but at least Lin Muyun won’t give up on Gu Chiye so easily.
He Yao couldn't help but look at Lin Muyun, trying to find more answers from her face.
But unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw Lin Muyun who was equally shocked.
His heart moved. Could it be that there was some other hidden story behind what happened back then?
