Chapter 581: Chapter 582: Could Miss Xia be Mr. Gu’s Ex-Wife?
A single sentence drew all eyes to Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun.
Xia Yangyang had been sipping her soup.
Upon hearing Xi Jiachen’s words, her fingers stalled involuntarily.
Xi Zijun turned to look at Gu Qichen, laughing as she said, “As for that, the time hasn’t been set yet.”
Gu Qichen then spoke, “Next month, I will be getting engaged to Zijun at the Caesar International Hotel in Feng City. I hope that amidst his busy schedule, Mr. Xi will be able to attend our engagement ceremony.”
Xi Jiachen laughed and replied, “Naturally, I’ve raised Zijun since she was little, just like my own daughter. I will definitely attend her engagement ceremony and will be presenting you both with a generous gift.”
But Xia Yangyang’s heart inexplicably sank.
She knew this to be true.
Yet hearing the confirmation from their own mouths made her feelings complex and conflicted.
Xia Weiwei, on the other hand, could no longer hold herself back: “Brother Gu, are you really getting engaged?”
She looked disbelieving, her eyes beginning to mist up.
But Xia Weiwei’s comment seemed quite abrupt.
Rumours in the society had suggested that Xia Weiwei and Gu Qichen had an ambiguous relationship.
Especially as a few days ago, Gu Qichen had spent twenty million to clean up the mess at Xia Weiwei’s birthday banquet.
Now, the society even speculated that Gu Qichen’s fiancé was actually Xia Weiwei.
All eyes fell on Xia Weiwei.
Xi Yankai, sitting next to her, laughed, “Little sis, it’s your sister getting engaged, why are you so agitated?”
Liu Ruyan also chimed in with a frown, “Weiwei, sit down. Stop causing a scene.”
But Xia Weiwei was still resentful.
She had always thought that the engagement news was fake, that Gu Qichen couldn’t possibly be in love with Xi Zijun.
But now, with Gu Qichen’s own admission, especially in front of Xia Yangyang…
That fact was now set in stone, absolutely irrefutable.
Xia Weiwei said, “You can’t get engaged.”
Xi Jiachen beside her frowned, “Weiwei, do you realize what you’re doing? Zijun and Ah Chen’s marriage is their own business, as someone from the outside, what gives you the right to interfere?”
Xia Weiwei knew very well that what she was doing right now could jeopardize all her years of pretending.
But all that was going through her head right now was: she mustn’t let Xi Zijun and Gu Qichen get engaged.
Once that woman took her position, she would lose her chance for this lifetime.
Before everyone, Xia Weiwei said, “Do you know why I call him Brother-in-law? It’s not because of Sister Zijun. The truth is Brother Gu was originally my brother-in-law. They separated due to a misunderstanding. Now that they are both here, I know in his heart, the one he cares about the most is still my sister. So, I cannot stand by and watch them make another mistake due to stubbornness.”
Everyone was bewildered by her statement.
But soon, they all got the gist of her words.
Xia Weiwei said Gu Qichen was originally her brother-in-law, now they are both here…
Everyone knew that Gu Qichen was once married, and Miss Xia here was Xia Weiwei’s sister…
The relationships seemed to be getting more and more muddled.
Xi Yanbo spoke up, “Miss Xia, you couldn’t possibly be Mr. Gu’s ex-wife, could you?”
At this point, all attention was once again on Xia Yangyang.
If Xia Yangyang was Gu Qichen’s ex-wife, then she was also Gu Zhaohan’s former aunt-in-law…
But now Xiao Han brought her home, declaring her as his girlfriend.
Xi Jiachen quickly picked up on the implications of their relationship.
He turned his head to ask Xia Yangyang, “Miss Xia, what is your relationship with Mr. Gu?”
