Chapter 1: Being dumped, but still happy?
In Haicheng, in the VIP banquet hall of the Royal Hotel, a grand engagement banquet is underway.
"Please invite the bride and groom to perform the opening dance for everyone!"
After the emcee's passionate announcement, the groom-to-be, Gu Tianqi, burst out laughing.
"Opening dance? You think this ugly freak can dance?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused on the bride-to-be, Su Jiuyao.
The girl, wearing a veil, stood quietly on the stage in front, becoming the laughing stock of the entire audience.
Some people whispered that the third daughter of the Su family was disfigured in a fire when she was a child, and then lived in Mingchan Temple in the mountains, and did not even go to college.
The second young master of the Gu family is handsome and a leader in the upper class. How could he not despise her?
But she is the daughter of a prominent family after all. She was humiliated in public. She must be about to cry, right?
The key point is, after this incident, how will the two families end up?
Gu Tianqi's father, Gu Changhai, slammed the table angrily: "Asshole! Say that again."
Even if Miss Su had flaws in her appearance, wouldn't outsiders laugh at the Gu family's lack of upbringing if her son humiliated her in public like this? Thinking of this, Gu Changhai felt that his son had lost all his face.
"Dad, let me be frank. Even if I remain single for the rest of my life, I, Gu Tianqi, will never get engaged to this village girl!"
Normally, he wouldn't dare disobey his father, but at this moment, with the help of alcohol, he emboldened himself. After saying this, he tore off his tie, threw it hard to the ground, and left the banquet hall with his long legs.
Su Jiuyao then raised her eyelids and looked at the man's departing back, her eyelashes trembling with excitement.
That’s very good, very good!
I originally wanted to have a talk with Gu Tianqi after the banquet. Even if they got married in the future, they would not interfere with each other's lives. If he continued to be a prodigal, I would return to Mingchan Temple.
Since we can’t even get married right now, there’s no need to even talk about it.
Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his eyes.
This scene happened right in the sight of Gu Hanye, the eldest son of the Gu family.
He was sitting in a quiet corner of the banquet hall, not far from the stage. He was lazily drinking champagne and glancing at the farce on the stage, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of her smile.
Tsk, she’s quite happy after being dumped?
However, the next moment, he saw Su Jiuyao's mother walk onto the stage, pull Su Jiuyao aside, and say something with a cold face.
The girl's bright eyes dimmed instantly, and she nodded with red eyes.
Su's mother seemed to be blaming her daughter for ruining the engagement party?
But the engagement failed because of Gu Tianqi's mistake, how could she be blamed?
Looking at the girl's aggrieved and pitiful appearance, Gu Hanye couldn't help but think of a little stray cat, which was kicked around but kept its tail between its legs and dared not make a sound.
Just like the two years he spent wandering outside.
"Let me do it," Gu Hanye put down his champagne glass, stood up gracefully, and walked to the center of the stage. "Opening dance, I'll dance with Miss Su."
Seeing Gu Hanye approach Su Jiuyao and invite her to dance like a gentleman, the guests almost dropped their jaws in shock.
The eldest young master of the Gu family has always been aloof. Let alone dancing with women, he has rarely appeared with other women except for work.
It is unlikely that this was to help his brother out of trouble.
The two are half-brothers and have been in a long-term feud. It is impossible for Gu Hanye to clean up the mess for his brother.
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to this Miss Su? Even more impossible!
Who is Gu Hanye?
As the current president of Gu Group and the crown prince of the Gu family, he has high standards. How could he possibly fall for such an ugly woman?
Su Jiuyao looked at the man in front of her, feeling somewhat confused.
By the way, who is this person?
Her mother pushed her from behind and urged quietly, "The eldest young master is giving you face, why don't you agree quickly?"
The eldest young master...it turns out that he is Gu Tianqi's brother, Gu Hanye.
Su Jiuyao had heard some things about him. He was 30 years old, single, unengaged, and handsome.
Looking at him now, he is indeed extraordinary. If Gu Tianqi's handsomeness is ostentatious, then Gu Hanye's handsomeness is restrained and profound.
But... he looked a little tired, as if he was suffering from some illness.
Su Jiuyao knew medicine. She looked at his face carefully and had some guesses in her mind.
At the same time, she also came up with a bold idea.
Maybe this person can help me solve the current problem!
So Su Jiuyao knelt down to return the greeting and placed her hand in the man's palm with confidence.
The two walked slowly onto the dance floor and danced gracefully to the harmonious waltz.
After finishing a section, Su Jiuyao said, "Mr. Gu has had headaches for three years?"
Gu Hanye squinted his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him who spoke in a very elegant manner in surprise.
"Can you also treat patients?"
Su Jiuyao smiled slightly and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Gu was poisoned three years ago, but the poison was not completely eliminated, leaving him with a headache, right?"
Gu Hanye narrowed his eyes. She could actually pinpoint the cause of his illness so accurately. Was she really that amazing? Or was there some other reason?
The business world is like a battlefield. He has seen a lot of deception and intrigue over the years and has to be on guard.
"What does Miss Su want to say?" Gu Hanye said lightly.
"If you want, I can cure your headache." Su Jiuyao paused, her tone becoming more serious. "But in return, I hope Mr. Gu will get engaged to me."
She had just been rejected by Gu Tianqi and was originally very happy, but her mother came to threaten her, saying that if the marriage failed, she would be married to a business tycoon.
That man is older than Su Jiuyao's father and likes to play with women. If she marries him, her second half of life will be over.
Being temporarily engaged to Gu Hanye is a delaying tactic.
After listening to this, Gu Hanye smiled softly. It turned out that this was her real purpose. As for the speculation about her being a spy, it was actually an overestimation of her.
"What if you can't cure it? Wouldn't I be at a loss?" Gu Hanye sneered.
At this time, the dance music has reached the last measure.
Su Jiuyao knew that if she couldn't convince Gu Hanye, her future fate would not be decided by herself.
"You will recover in three months at the least, or half a year at the most. Once you recover, we will cancel the engagement."
Su Jiuyao believed that this deal was definitely not a loss for Gu Hanye. After all, they were only engaged for half a year, but it could cure his chronic illness.
But she is the fiancée of Gu Hanye's younger brother, and she had just been dumped. The current situation is a bit embarrassing.
Therefore, Su Jiuyao felt unsure and looked at the man in front of her nervously and anxiously.
Gu Hanye's lips curled slightly, "What if half a year later, you fall in love with me and regret it then?"
The corner of Su Jiuyao's mouth twitched.
"Don't worry, I don't have any feelings for you. I'm anxious to get engaged to you because my parents are forcing me to marry a man who can be my grandfather. If you're afraid that I'll break my promise, I can write a written guarantee."
Gu Hanye raised his eyebrows and said, "Listen, the other person has no feelings for you at all. He's even afraid that you'll misunderstand, so he has to write a written guarantee!"
The key point is that she explained it very clearly, that she chose him because she didn't want to marry an old man, and she would cancel the engagement when she no longer needed him in the future.
He, the great Master Gu, has actually fallen to the point of being a spare tire?
Gu Hanye narrowed his eyes, "Miss Su, I don't plan to get engaged to you."
After she finished speaking, Su Jiuyao pursed her lips and lowered her eyes sadly.
Although I expected this result, I still felt a little heavy-hearted.
It seems that I can only think of other ways...
Just as she was worrying, she suddenly heard the man whisper, "I mean, let's get married right away."
