"Have you noticed that it's always been Madam Sheng and Zhou Derong's family who are so enthusiastic, while Old Master Sheng and his family have never come forward to acknowledge it? Could it be that they're just wishful thinking?"
"..."
Granny Qin couldn't accept that the phoenix she was about to marry had flown away. They had already announced the Qin family's joyous occasion, and for the Sheng family to break off the engagement at this crucial moment was tantamount to slapping the Qin family in the face. "This was agreed upon by your own mother. You are my future daughter-in-law. You cannot betray my Baoming. Otherwise, you will be committing adultery and being a scoundrel!"
Zhou Derong was instantly distressed. "Chu Xuan, my Baoming is devoted to you. You can't break off the engagement. What's so great about Gu Peichuan? The real heir of the Gu family is still in our family."
"Uncle Sheng, Aunt Sheng, Madam Sheng and I are like sisters. The Qin family is truly sincere about this marriage alliance. Please give us a straight answer!"
Sheng Chuxuan was so angry she laughed. Gu Peichuan gave her a reassuring look. "We've met each other's parents, submitted a relationship report, and received official recognition. To ruin a leader's marriage is the same as ruining a military marriage. I'd like to ask you, what kind of recognition have your Qin Feifei and Qin Baoming received?"
"I am the regimental commander, a high-ranking officer. Who is your Qin Baoming, and what does he do?"
"In terms of family background, I am the grandson of the founding hero of the top five families. What is your Qin Baoming? Your Qin family's heir? Forgive me for not knowing who your Qin Baoming is. He is more powerful than me, a mere junior officer."
Without comparison, it's fine, but once you compare, the difference becomes immediately apparent.
Compared to Gu Peichuan, who is handsome, powerful, and wealthy, Qin Baoming looks like a pile of shit.
The onlookers all curled their lip in disapproval. Qin Baoming was no big shot at all; he was just a lazy bum who freeloaded. His only achievement was befriending Gu Ziqi, the son of the second branch of the Gu family, who called himself the new heir of the Gu family.
Even Gu Ziqi is no match for Gu Peichuan, who is young but already holds a high-ranking position.
Some of them looked at Gu Peichuan with shining eyes, thinking that if Gu Peichuan and Sheng Chuxuan broke up, they wouldn't mind taking advantage of the situation. This wasn't just any ordinary rich husband; he was a potential Crown Princess.
Given her status alone, Madam Sheng is still clueless, racking her brains to break up this marriage; she's truly out of her mind.
Gu Peichuan's series of questions left Zhou Derong and her daughter-in-law completely bewildered. What did Qin Baoming have to offer?
It wasn't that they were discouraged, but rather that Qin Baoming was indeed inferior to Gu Peichuan.
Especially the military marriage, that was a huge label that directly dashed the Qin family's hopes.
"My Baoming really loves Sheng Chuxuan, and Feifei loves Sheng Qing..." This was the only reason that Granny Qin could say.
Sheng Chuxuan retorted angrily without giving any face, "Love my ass! Love us? We don't love you. Does love mean we have to get married? You're sick in the head. Who promised you that? Go find them. We siblings are human beings, not objects to be disposed of at will. This society is not a feudal era. We advocate free love. Surely your Qin family wouldn't go against a great man, would they?"
Another label was being placed on her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were really overwhelmed. It was no longer feasible to let Sheng Chuxuan marry into the Qin family. Then Zhou Derong spoke up, "We don't want to ruin military marriages, but Sheng Qing didn't come here to propose marriage. What's he doing bringing so many people to the Qin family?"
