Volume 1, Chapter 340: Spending 10 Billion on Dowry

"Daughter, please speak for them. Look at your eyes, they are still swollen from crying. What else can you say for them?"

Li Wanyin stood aside, looking embarrassed.

Su Shitian said sternly, "Our two families have been friends for more than 20 years. I thought we would become relatives, but I didn't expect that we were just being wishful thinking. I only found out after receiving the invitation that your son is getting married, and the person he is getting married to is not my daughter."

Gu Xuanwu was already upset when he saw their bad attitude towards his wife. He said angrily: "Su Shitian, do I have to discuss my son's marriage with you? We are just friends, and you are not my father!"

Su Shitian was so angry that his face turned green. Ma Zhongling said unconvincedly, "We have seen my daughter's feelings for your son since she was a child. We always thought that she wanted to marry Gu Xunjing when she grew up, but now Gu Xunjing doesn't want to marry her and wants to marry another woman. If it was someone better than her, we wouldn't say anything, but it happened to be Jiang Qiansui, a divorced woman. How can she be better than my daughter?"

Gu Xuanwu said with a cold face: "So you two are not here to reminisce today, but to cause trouble, right?"

Gu Xuanwu wanted to get angry, but Li Wanyin held him back.

After all, the relationship between the two families over the past few decades is still very deep, and she didn't want to make things too ugly, so she held Gu Xuanwu's hand and said to Su's parents:

"Mengyu likes Gu Xunjing, and it's a relationship they've had since childhood, and it's very sincere. But my son's love is also very sincere, he likes Jiang Qiansui. As parents, we all hope that our children will be happy. If Gu Xunjing doesn't like Su Mengyu, he won't be happy after marrying Su Mengyu, and we would be even more sorry to you."

Su's parents were furious. "What do you mean? My daughter is not worthy of your son?"

Su Mengyu quickly pulled her parents aside and said, "Mom and Dad want you to help me win back Brother Xun Jing today, not to cause trouble. If you make things awkward, what should I do?"

Su Mengyu saw her parents arguing with her uncle and aunt, and she felt very panicked.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that she had done something wrong. She shouldn't have caused her parents to quarrel with her uncle and aunt because of her feelings, but she really wanted to marry Brother Xun Jing.

She just wanted to try hard for herself. Even if there was only a little hope, she hoped that Brother Xun Jing could change his mind.

Ma Zhongling calmed down after hearing what Su Mengyu said, and said to Li Wanyin, "Wanyin, you watched Mengyu grow up. You know what kind of personality she has, and you also know how much she likes Gu Xunjing. Can't you just match her up with Gu Xunjing for the sake of watching her grow up?"

Gu Xunjing came back at this time. He said to Ma Zhongling, "I'm really sorry, Auntie. It's impossible for me and Su Mengyu to be together."

Ma Zhongling didn't expect Gu Xunjing to be so straightforward. She said angrily, "Don't you care about the relationship between our two families at all?"

"It is because of the relationship between our two families that I want to explain it to you clearly..."

Su Shitian pointed at Gu Xunjing and said, "You little brat, you were so nice to Su Mengyu when you were little. When her brother was lost, Mengyu was frightened and refused to eat or drink. She locked herself in her room all day. It was you who accompanied her, fed her mouthful by mouthful, and helped her through the difficult times. She put her whole heart on you. How can you treat her like this now? Can't you be as nice to her as you were when she was little?"

When the Su family's son was lost, it was the darkest moment for the Su family.

Everyone in the Su family was shrouded in great pain. It was as if their souls had been pulled out of their bodies. It was the Gu family who accompanied them through this.

It was Gu Xuanwu who temporarily took over the Su Group and enabled it to operate normally. It was Li Wanyin who accompanied Ma Zhongling, and Gu Xunjing who accompanied Su Mengyu, who helped them get out of the pain little by little.

The friendship between the Su family and the Gu family became even deeper.

From that time on, Su Mengyu became more determined to be with Brother Xun Jing for the rest of her life. But now her belief was shattered, and she felt like she had fallen into the abyss again.

"Uncle, I treat Su Mengyu like my sister. I will be good to her for the rest of my life, but that is only the same feeling as a sister. I can't marry her because I don't love her. I am an adult now and I know my heart very well. I love Jiang Qiansui, she is my true love. It is impossible for me and Su Mengyu to be together."

Gu Xunjing expressed his thoughts very clearly, but Su Shitian punched him angrily.

Gu Xunjing could have dodged it, but he didn't.

Even though he did nothing wrong, he still didn't hide away.

"How dare you bully my daughter like this, you bastard?"

Gu Xunjing was punched and blood came out of the corner of his mouth.

Gu Xuanwu stepped forward to protect him, pointed at Su Shitian and said, "Su Shitian, we have been brothers for many years, but if you hit my son, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Su Mengyu saw that Gu Xunjing was injured, and quickly stepped forward to hold Gu Xunjing's hand and said, "Brother Xunjing, are you okay? I'm sorry that my dad hit you so hard."

When Su Mengyu saw Gu Xunjing was injured, tears welled up in her eyes. She then angrily said to her father, "Dad, how could you hit someone? I hate you."

Su Shitian said innocently: "Am I not helping you vent your anger? I am helping you teach this brat a lesson, I am letting him know who is the right person to be his wife?"

Su Mengyu said angrily: "If I had known, I would not have allowed you to come. I knew that you would not be able to help me win back Brother Xun Jing, and you even hit Brother Xun Jing."

Su Mengyu was very emotional. She really couldn't bear to see Gu Xunjing get hurt.

Gu Xunjing held Su Mengyu's hand and said, "It's okay. It's Brother Xunjing's fault. I shouldn't have let you misunderstand me. You always said you would marry me when you grow up, but I thought you were joking and made you sad."

Listening to Gu Xunjing's words, Su Mengyu's tears fell. Why is my heart so painful now? It hurts so much that I almost forget to breathe. Just like when Brother Xunjing said he wanted to marry Jiang Qiansui before, it didn't hurt as much as it does now.

Ma Zhongling said: "Gu Xunjing still has room to transfer everything back. As long as you are willing to marry Su Mengyu, we are willing to give you 50% of the shares of the Su Group."

50% of the shares of Su Group is equivalent to giving Su Group to him. Su Group is the top wealthy family in Shangjing Su family. Anyone would be tempted to get such a wealthy family for free.

No one expected that the Su family would be willing to go to such lengths for their daughter.
