Chapter 629: Chapter 630: She is Not Someone You Can Disrespect at Will
Gu Mingzhu was clearly stunned.
The surprise was evident in her eyes when she saw Xia Yangyang.
Yangyang was used to seeing this kind of reaction.
Therefore, she was particularly calm.
Yangyang had known what she would face before coming here.
This was essentially a psychological battle for her.
But everything else seemed trivial compared to the potential loss of Xia Ye.
Gu Mingzhu seemed to have guessed something too.
She said nothing, merely opening the door to the study.
“Come in,” Gu Mingzhu’s voice was now calm.
Gu Qichen went in, and Yangyang followed him.
The old man was standing behind a desk practicing calligraphy.
There was a stack of rice paper on the desk, each sheet bearing only one character, “calm.”
It seemed that the old man was truly furious.
Only through this could he calm his own heart.
After Gu Qichen entered, Gu Mingzhu walked over and said, “Dad, Ah Chen is back.”
The old man didn’t lift his head but continued writing.
The room was very quiet.
Everyone seemed to be silently waiting for the old man to finish his calligraphy.
Only after the last stroke did the old man put down his brush and look up.
After raising his head, he saw Xia Yangyang.
But the old man, as expected, was experienced and wise.
His expression didn’t change after seeing Yangyang.
He didn’t even furrow his brows.
He calmly asked, “What’s going on?”
Gu Qichen answered, “I’ve come back to announce something.”
Gu Qichen paused for a moment.
The old man and Gu Mingzhu both set their gazes on him.
Gu Qichen spoke calmly, “I’m cancelling the wedding with Zijun.”
Gu Qichen dropped a bombshell as soon as he returned.
The old man didn’t say anything yet.
Gu Mingzhu said, “Marriage is not a joke. You can’t just cancel it at will. So many people were at the venue yesterday, and you just disappeared. What do you take Zijun for, someone you can trifle with at your convenience?”
Gu Qichen said, “I’ve made it clear to Zijun. She agrees to cancel the engagement.”
Gu Mingzhu responded, “Gu Qichen, that’s not on. Yes, Zijun loves you and cares about you unconditionally, but that’s not a reason for you to treat her . I oppose the cancellation.”
“Sis, I’ve already decided.”
Gu Qichen’s voice was firm.
Everyone in this family knew his nature, he was a man of his word.
If he had made a decision, announcing it meant he was merely informing others, not seeking their opinions.
This was the first time Gu Mingzhu couldn’t agree with Gu Qichen.
Shengyuan glanced at Yangyang and asked, “So, are you cancelling the wedding because of the woman beside you, or the young actress who attempted suicide last night?”
The old man’s voice was cold.
Yangyang still had the impression of him being kindly and charitable four years ago.
But the old man now seemed like a different person from that.
He was imposing without being angry, his aura strong. He had a natural regal demeanour that made people step back.
Yangyang had almost forgotten.
The old man was not only a legendary businessman but also a veteran who’d had his ups and downs and seen much of life.
Gu Qichen calmly said, “Because I want to remarry Yangyang.”
The room fell completely silent, time seemed to stand still, it was as if the air had frozen solid.
