Nobody is as ruthless as Gu Jingchen!
"I have a suggestion." Thinking of what he was about to say, Old Master Xu smiled, a slight smirk playing on his lips. He slowly pushed the "cart" towards the "general," and said with a grin, "General!"
One "chariot" couldn't stop Gu Jingchen's "general," so he moved his "minister" to protect the "general."
"Your recent relentless suppression of the Xu family is not beneficial to either of us."
"How about this: the Gu and Xu families form a marriage alliance, and you marry your granddaughter. One plus one is greater than two, what do you say?"
The old man finished speaking with a smile, but Gu Jingchen didn't notice the cunning look in his eyes. Xu Bai, who was standing to the side and knew him well, did.
Xu Bai found it strange. Gu Jingchen hated the Xu family, and the old man knew this in his heart. Gu Jingchen would never agree to a marriage between Gu and Xu.
Why bother mentioning that?
“Grandpa Xu, I have no interest in your granddaughter.”
Just as Xu Bai had expected, Gu Jingchen replied with a cold smile.
"oh!"
Grandpa Xu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and replied with a drawn-out smile.
Are you sure?
He asked again.
Gu Jingchen found it amusing. Would someone who hated the Xu family so much accept a marriage alliance for the sake of profit?
"Grandpa, I don't think much of your granddaughter." Gu Jingchen's voice turned cold. Xu Huanyan was nowhere near as good as his Ningning!
"Aren't you going to think about it?"
Grandpa Xu asked with a smile, "My granddaughter is very beautiful! And very smart too!"
"Not interested!"
"Young man, don't answer so quickly. I'll give you three days to think it over."
Old Master Xu softened his voice and said, "In a couple of days, our Xu family will be having a banquet. Come and take a look then; you might just take a liking to my eldest granddaughter."
"Need not!"
Gu Jingchen found Old Master Xu a bit annoying. "The old man thinks his granddaughter is the best, but in my heart, no one can replace my wife."
"wife?"
Grandpa Xu frowned. Would a informal wedding be considered as marrying Ningning?
That's so casual!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I'm getting married!"
"good!"
Old Master Xu's face was cold, and he was not happy with Gu Jingchen's answer. "How about this? I'm afraid you'll change your mind later and insist on marrying my granddaughter."
"The old man is overthinking it."
"Butler Liu, bring me paper and pen!"
To prevent Gu Jingchen from going back on his word in the future, Old Master Xu thought it would be better to put things in writing.
"Grandpa." Xu Bai looked at the old man asking Butler Liu to get paper and pen, and he was even more confused.
Does the old man want Gu Jingchen to marry Huanyan, or not?
Bring me paper and pen. The old man wrote on the paper that Gu Jingchen was unwilling to marry the Xu family's daughter.
Although Gu Jingchen didn't want to marry Miss Xu, the old man wrote it down solemnly and even made him sign it, which made him feel very uneasy!
"Sign it!"
The old man handed the paper to Gu Jingchen and asked him to sign it.
Gu Jingchen didn't take it; he looked at Old Master Xu, who was smiling at him, with a puzzled expression.
"Why don't you want to sign anymore?" Old Master Xu asked. "Or is it that you actually want to marry my granddaughter?"
"A marriage between the two families will surely bring huge benefits."
Mr. Xu has seen many cases and people who abandon love for personal gain.
He really wanted to see what kind of person Gu Jingchen was! And whether he was worth Su Ning continuing to like!
"In no mood."
Gu Jingchen replied calmly, took the paper and pen, and wrote his name at the end.
As he finished the last stroke, his unease only grew stronger.
"very good."
