Chapter 024: I'm afraid the world will not be in chaos
Gu Zixuan sat down with a pout. Just by looking at his expression, you could tell how unwilling the child was. Everyone present was smart and they knew what was going on at a glance.
Gu Zhao lowered his eyelids and said nothing. Zou also felt a little embarrassed. Gu Changqing looked embarrassed and wished he could run over and scold this rebellious son to wake him up. Lin Xiaoniang was watching the fun smugly the whole time. The only one who was calm and expressionless at the scene was Su Jin.
Mainly because she felt that it had nothing to do with her. The parties involved had all been brought here, and she just sat here, and in fact she was just a runner-up.
We are not the protagonist, why are you so excited? Stay calm.
"Now that everyone is here, we should have a good talk about this matter!" Chen Huailiang spoke first. After all, she was his daughter and he felt sorry for her, so he spoke so directly.
Gu Zhao humbly accepted the advice. Even though he was the oldest and had the highest status here, he still had to be three points shorter.
"Humph!" Chen Huailiang snorted coldly, staring at Gu Zixuan, and said angrily: "In my opinion, let's forget about this marriage between our two families! We can't afford to marry into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion!"
"Master Chen, what are you talking about?"
Gu Changqing stood up quickly: "If there is any misunderstanding, let's talk it out. Gu Zixuan, why don't you roll over and talk to Master Chen!"
Will Gu Zixuan move?
It was impossible to even think about it, so he simply slumped down in his chair, saying nonchalantly, "No, I don't have time. I'm very busy."
The main feature is a rude triplet.
Gu Changqing was so angry that he walked over and was about to slap Gu Zixuan. But now Gu Zixuan had learned his lesson and immediately jumped up and hid behind a chair. He wanted to slap you to death but he couldn't hit you.
Gu Changqing became even angrier. The father and son were making circles in front of the guests, and those who didn't know would think they were performing a monkey show.
Su Jin sat aside and watched happily, occasionally nibbling a piece of snack from Zou's house, and suddenly felt that the snack tasted much better than the one in his own house.
Well, she must eat more.
“That’s enough!”
Finally, Gu Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily, and the father and son stopped and sat down obediently.
The old man said, "Master Chen, since we are relatives, you should talk openly about anything."
Chen Huailiang bowed and said angrily, "It's not that I am shameless, but if I don't keep this face, then I will lose everything. It has been spread all over the streets that the young master of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion has fallen in love with a prostitute in a brothel and has threatened to marry her. What about our Xinlian? Is the reputation of my Shangshu Mansion going to be trampled under the feet of a prostitute in a brothel?"
There was silence in the lobby.
Although I understand why the Shangshu came here, it is still embarrassing to say it so openly.
Gu Changqing said quickly: "Master Chen, this is all fake. It is not uncommon for young people to go out for a drink together. Someone must be spreading rumors and making up stories."
"What nonsense! You're running away from home!"
"Isn't this still at home?"
"I don't want to listen to you!" Chen Huailiang stood up suddenly and pointed at Gu Zixuan: "You, tell me who you want to marry!"
Turning his gaze to Gu Zixuan, Su Jin also turned to look at him.
Gu Zixuan calmly glanced around, stiffened his neck with great determination and responsibility, and announced to the world: "I, Gu Zixuan, am going to marry Mu Yanluo, and no one can stop me!"
My grandfather: "Asshole!"
Dad: "Beast!"
"You, you!!" Chen Huailiang stood up angrily and rushed over to hit Gu Zixuan.
The daughter of a dignified Shangshu Mansion is not even as good as a prostitute from a brothel. Shangshu Chen is so angry that if he doesn't beat this kid until his face is covered with blood today, he will demote himself to the second rank and quit his job. I'll go home and farm!
"Master Chen, Master Chen, please stop Master Chen quickly, don't let him get angry and cause harm!"
"Master Chen, calm down, calm down!"
"Gu Zixuan! Look how angry you made Lord Chen. Why don't you come over and apologize?"
The hall of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was in chaos.
Gu Zixuan was running in front and Chen Huailiang was chasing behind. Gu Changqing had to persuade and stop him. The servants gathered outside and wanted to lend a hand, but unfortunately Gu Zixuan ran too fast and could not be caught up.
Mrs. Zou and the old man were almost going crazy. Is it so difficult to sit down and have a good chat?
Looking at this excitement, Lin Wanhui almost laughed out loud. She knew that this marriage would definitely fail. Turning her head again, she saw that Su Jin was not angry at all. He was even eating snacks and watching the excitement with an amused look on his face.
Lin Wanhui: …
No, why do I have the illusion that the lady is in the same camp as me? ?
It seems like they all want the world to be in chaos.
She is watching the fun here, and the lady is also watching with a smile. What's the big deal?
Lin Wanhui felt a little uncomfortable and deliberately asked in front of everyone: "Madam, you are Xuan'er's biological mother, what do you say?"
For a moment, the noise quieted down and everyone looked at Su Jin.
Su Jin had just been eating and drinking with a radiant look on her face, but now she coughed and leaned weakly on the chair. She glanced around sickly and finally looked at Chen Xinlian, who had been silent the whole time: "Xinlian, auntie just wants to hear what you have to say."
What a joke, dragging her into this? Do you know how those people working in the company practice Tai Chi?
Look, isn’t this the way out?
Su Jin successfully extricated himself, and then everyone looked at Chen Xinlian.
After his daughter spoke, Chen Huailiang naturally couldn't continue chasing Gu Zixuan and hitting her. He could only sit down angrily. Gu Zixuan was finally able to sit back, drink some water and take a breath. By the way, he came over and thanked Su Jin silently: "Thank you, mother."
Finally I can take a break!
Su Jin rolled his eyes at him and turned to stare at Chen Xinlian.
She remembered this girl, and she also knew that Chen Xinlian did not marry Gu Zixuan, but married Gu Ziyun.
She was a little interested in the gossip that the eldest son refused to marry and had to marry the eldest son of a concubine.
Su Jin pricked up his ears, picked up his teacup, and prepared to listen to the gossip.
Chen Xinlian stood up, bowed to everyone, and then said.
"I wanted to save some face for Zixuan, but he didn't even save my face, so there's no need for me to be so kind."
The girl's voice was crisp and powerful.
"Gu Zixuan, you are just the eldest son. What else do you have? Incompetent, ignorant, stupid. You are not even a student at the age of sixteen. Your father can only be a fifth-rank official. I think the seventh-rank is the best you can do."
The girl's words made Gu Zixuan stand up suddenly, his face flushed red.
But Chen Xinlian was not afraid of him and continued, "With your ability, it's too high for you to marry a prostitute. Today, I, Chen Xinlian, propose to cancel the engagement. I would rather marry a talented son of a concubine than marry a useless person like you who is born of a legitimate wife but incompetent!"
"What do you mean!" Gu Zixuan finally roared.
Chen Xinlian snorted and laughed, and suddenly pointed at Lin Wanhui: "I would rather marry Gu Ziyun than you. I despise you. Do you understand? You're a waste!"
After cursing, the girl very stubbornly stuffed the handkerchief she was wearing into Lin Wanhui and turned away.
Everyone in the room was shocked.
