Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sure enough, Su Shen agreed very quickly. He even said that he would drive his two sons to school when he had time in the future.
In the private room of the Golden Sun Hotel in the city, the Gong Family specially hosted a banquet for the Gu Family.
On the surface, it was a simple gathering, but in fact, everyone knew that the Gong Family had apologized to the Gu Family and planned to give them an explanation today.
On the surface, the Gu couple looked serious and acted as if they were going to cancel the engagement if the Gong family did not give them a good explanation. However, they were actually very happy inside. They had never thought of canceling the engagement.
They didn’t care what happened between Gong Zhan and other women because in the end, the Gong Family chose the Gu Family.
Their adopted daughter, Gu Zi, had married the owner of the pig farm and had become the wife of the owner. Their biological daughter, Lin Miao, was also going to marry into the Gong family. She would become an official’s wife in the future. In this quad, everyone would have to respect the Gu family.
The best course of action now was to have Gong Zhan and Lin Miao register their marriage and become husband and wife.
Firstly, it would prevent rumors from spreading. Even if they did spread, Gong Zhan’s marriage was already set, so there was no need to worry about any trouble.
Secondly, MO Li was ambitious and unscrupulous. In comparison, Lin Miao was indeed more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Gong Family and easier to control.
Mrs. Chen looked at Lin Miao, who had been silent all this while. “Miaomiao is lovely. I’ve liked her since the first time I saw her. It’s only natural that I like the daughter of the Gu family. This matter should have been settled a long time ago.”
As she spoke, she nudged her husband under the table. Chief Gong coughed and said, “Yes, I think we should do this. Let’s choose a good day for our two children to get their marriage certificate.”
When the Gu couple heard this, they knew that this matter was indeed settled! Gong Zhan’s father didn’t care about putting on airs.
“I think this is for the best,” Gu Shan said. “Our Miaomiao has long been ready to be the daughter-in-law of the Gong Family.”
Zhang Mei also said, “That’s right. We won’t listen to the gossip outside. Gong Zhan is a promising young man. How can a young man not make mistakes? It’s best if he knows his mistakes and can correct them. Moreover, this matter must be a misunderstanding in the end.”
Gong Zhan’s face darkened, and Zhang Mei quickly changed the subject.
However, Zhang Mei had deliberately brought it up to let the Gong Family Imow that this was a misunderstanding, but there would be no next time. The Gu Family had their principles.
If the Gong Family didn’t want to hear such unpleasant words in the future, they had to regulate their son’s behavior.
Mrs. Chen was a decent person. She patted her son and smiled. ‘Your mother-in-law is right. There are no outsiders here. We are family. Miaomiao is a good girl. You have to treat Miaomiao well in the future. Don’t act recklessly again.”
Gong Zhan couldn’t say anything when his own mother said so. He could only nod and agree.
The Gong Family was much more prestigious than the Gu Family. Seeing Gong Zhan’s attitude, the Gu couple didn’t hesitate anymore. They immediately discussed the date of the marriage with Ms. Chen.
However, compared to the Gu couple, Lin Miao seemed very unhappy and did not say a word from beginning to end.
The Gong Family had proposed to register their marriage, but they hadn’t mentioned anything about the wedding. Gong Zhan was clearly at fault in this matter. Was the Gong Family not even willing to give her a wedding?
Even under such circumstances, her parents were in a hurry to marry her off, as if they were afraid that the Gong Family would change their mind. The more Lin Miao thought about it, the more suffocated she felt.
She excused herself from the private room to go to the restroom. Gong Xin also felt that the room was boring, so she simply followed her out.
After leaving the room, Lin Miao turned around and saw Gong Xin. She took a step back and said, “Gong Xin, why are you following me?”
Gong Xin had a good relationship with Gu Zi now, so she might help Gu Zi harm her.
Gong Xin rolled his eyes. “I just came out to get some fresh air. I don’t have any intentions of harming you.”
Gong Xin really couldn’t figure it out. With Lin Miao’s IQ, her parents insisted on marrying her off. Weren’t they afraid that their descendants would be brainless?
She always felt that Gu Zi harbored ill intentions towards her, but in reality, Gu
Zi lived in a big house in the village. Her husband and children were happy,
and she had no time to pay attention to her at all, okay?
On the other hand, why didn’t she guard against MO Li, the female classmate she had introduced to Gong Zhan as his secretary?
