He Zhen also felt that the rumors were exaggerated. First of all, Gu Wanwan was a weak woman, and no matter how capable she was, she couldn't possibly capture enemy agents. She probably got credit from Gu Peichuan. Secondly, he knew how much Gu Wanwan loved her grandson. He wasn't bragging, but his grandson had been very popular with women since he was a child. He was the number one handsome man in Beijing and the dream lover of many noble ladies.
It's the He family's turn to choose a wife, not someone else's. Wen Yan is highly sought after!
What the He family didn't know was that Gu Huaien and Shi Zhenxiang weren't unwilling to explain; they were mainly feeling guilty and worried that the He family would dig deep into their home and ruin their lucky daughter's plan to marry into the He family.
Therefore, they could only remain silent. Fortunately, the He family didn't humiliate them indiscriminately like they did when Gu Wanwan broke off the engagement last time.
The thought of their former relatives and friends looking at them with contempt and disdain made them lose the courage to go out. They could only pray that their lucky daughter would be swift and decisive and kill the two old folks on their way back to the city.
Gu Qiulin's situation wasn't much better. Her friends and sisters in the social circle were all gossiping about her. At first, she didn't know, but after asking around, she found out that Shi Zhenxiang had gone out to support the Du family and act arrogantly, which ended up dragging her and the second branch of the Gu family into the mess.
It is said that Shi Zhenxiang encountered the troublesome Gu siblings. The Gu siblings took the initiative to reveal that they were not the biological children of the Gu family, and also said that she, Gu Qiulin, was a fake heiress switched by a collateral branch of the Gu family, and that the Gu family had plotted to seize power and replace the direct line of the Gu family.
Gu Wanwan showed her no mercy at all, revealing how she colluded with her human trafficker cousin to abduct and abuse the three siblings.
Enraged, she nearly coughed up blood on the spot, regretting that she hadn't strangled Gu Wanwan then, giving Gu Wanwan the opportunity for revenge.
Public opinion is a fearsome thing; what can she do? What she needs to do now is avoid people in the industry and let the rumors settle down for a while. It's not that she doesn't want to suppress the rumors, but that she simply can't.
Left with no other choice, she sought help from the five great families and also complained to the direct line of the Du family. If the Du family hadn't been so arrogant, how could she and the second branch of the family have become the target of everyone's criticism?
Isn't it Shi Zhenxiang's fault? Of course she is, but she doesn't want to lose the lucky girl Gu Yarou, so she has no choice but to endure it no matter how angry she is.
Right now, she firmly denies it, saying it's just a rumor and she can't provide any evidence to prove she's an imposter. So what if the other three of the five great families question her?
Those who are having a hard time include Gu Qiulin and the second branch of the Gu family, as well as the Du and Pei families who are currently in dire straits.
In order to keep Pei Guangzong and save the marriage between the Pei and Du families, Pei Tai asked Zhao Baiping to borrow money to hold the wedding and invited relatives and friends in the capital circle.
Fortunately, Pei Guangzong was much easier to deal with than Fu Jingchen. He still obediently addressed the Pei family elders, unlike Fu Jingchen and Fu Wanning, who were ungrateful and unwilling to share their glory with the Pei family, wasting all the years the Pei family had taken in Fu Qingning and her son.
After obtaining their marriage certificate, the Pei and Du families headed to the wedding banquet hall, little did they know that Cui Hailu and her niece's true colors would be revealed...
