Chapter 660: Demanding annulment of the engagement
At this moment, Gu Xunjing knelt down and said, "It was my stupidity, I was foolish to fall into someone else's trap. As long as you don't make me marry Su Mengyu, I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Ma Zhongling: "Now that things have come to this, besides making you marry my daughter and protecting his reputation, what else do you have that we can use?"
Su Shitian: "I'm giving you five days. You must marry my daughter, or don't blame me for taking action against your Gu Group."
After Su Shitian and the others finished speaking, they left angrily without consulting them at all; this was a direct ultimatum.
Gu Xuanwu stood to the side, his face ashen. He had been plotting for so long, and finally managed to take advantage of Zhan Yanxun's departure from the Zhan Group to relentlessly pursue them. But now, it was they who were in dire straits.
How awful! How awful! It's absolutely outrageous!
At this moment, Li Wanyin said worriedly, "What should we do now?"
Gu Xuanwu said angrily, "How would I know what to do? Su Shitian is not joking. If he targets our Gu Group now, our Gu Group will be completely finished."
"Is the only option to have Gu Xunjing marry Su Mengyu? But Gu Xunjing doesn't want to marry Su Mengyu at all."
"Is it a question of whether he wants to or not? Who told him to be so stupid? He fell for someone else's trick. Even if Su Mengyu sent him a suicide message, he could have just asked someone else to go and see it. He's getting married tomorrow, why did he have to get involved in this mess? I don't know what he was thinking."
Gu Xunjing hurriedly explained, "Dad, I was really in a panic at the time, I didn't think that much."
"There's no need for further explanation. What's done is done, and there's no point in saying anything now. Just wait for the Gu family to go bankrupt!"
The situation was critical, and the atmosphere was tense and urgent.
At that moment, Jiang Qianhui arrived.
Upon seeing Jiang Qianhui arrive, Li Wanyin excitedly said, "Suihui, Suihui, you're here! Auntie knew you wouldn't be fooled by those people. You trust Gu Xunjing."
Gu Xunjing looked at Jiang Qianhui and said, "Suihui, have you forgiven me?"
Jiang Qianhui did not answer Gu Xunjing, but said to Gu Xuanwu, "Gu Group's stock has fallen sharply and it is having financial problems. I brought 2 billion yuan to Gu Group this time, hoping to help it overcome its difficulties."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanwu immediately stood up.
At this point, Jiang Qianhui was still able to lend a helping hand, which shows that she's not as good as her son at all.
“Sui Sui, you are a smart person. You must know that this fool was framed. He never intended to wrong you.”
"Uncle Gu, the cruise ship and high-end jewelry you gave me have been returned to you. As for this two billion, consider it my investment in the Gu Group."
Everything has been returned; can things still be considered to be continuing?
Li Wanyin asked nervously, "Sui Sui, don't you forgive Gu Xunjing?"
“Aunt Li, I believe in Gu Xunjing. I believe Gu Xunjing wouldn’t do anything to betray me, but Su Mengyu is a good girl. Since she and Gu Xunjing have already had a relationship, and now it’s common knowledge.”
"If they don't get together, Su Mengyu will face even more gossip in the future. I also heard what Su's parents said earlier. It's not good for your decades-long friendship to turn into enmity. Besides, Su Shitian knows the Gu family well; being their enemy won't do you any good."
Gu Xunjing said excitedly, "Sui Sui, you only thought that Su Mengyu wouldn't be able to handle it, but what about me? We were about to get married, and this happened? Happiness that was right in front of me has slipped away again. I can't accept it, I don't agree to annul the engagement, I want to be with you. Sui Sui, I want to be with you."
Gu Xunjing was in agony. He was about to marry Sui Sui, how could this happen?
Gu Xunjing's eyes were red-rimmed. Jiang Qianhui reached out and touched his face, saying, "Perhaps we are destined to be apart. Be smarter in the future, and don't let others scheme against you again. The Gu Group will still need you in the future."
As Jiang Qianhui was about to leave after speaking, Gu Xunjing hugged her tightly and said, "No, no, we're getting married. You're my wife, Qianhui, don't leave me!"
"Gu Xunjing, I believe you will grow and mature in the future. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends."
"No, no, Sui Sui, no."
At this moment, Li Wanyin could no longer bear it, tears streaming down her face. She said in a trembling voice, "Sui Sui, can't you stay with him anymore?"
At this moment, Gu Xuanwu said, "You two should stop bothering Sui Sui. She has her reasons. You two should let her go."
Gu Xuanwu knew that Jiang Qianhui's consideration was correct.
Their marriage proceeded as if nothing had happened, but what about Su Mengyu? He had watched Su Mengyu grow up since she was a child, and she was a good person.
She is also a victim. If this incident ruins her life, he will indeed have no face to see Su Shitian and Ma Zhongling in the future.
And what she said was true; Su Shitian knew the Gu Group very well, and if you were to make an enemy of him, you would certainly not gain anything.
Jiang Qianhui is indeed the daughter-in-law he has chosen.
Pity!
"Gu Xunjing, let her go!"
Under Gu Xuanyu's anger and Jiang Qianhui's persuasion, Gu Xunjing finally let go of Jiang Qianhui.
His heart ached so much he couldn't breathe.
"Sui Sui, why? Is this really all there is to it? I'm not reconciled."
"Gu Xunjing, live well. Don't worry Aunt Li, we'll all be fine."
After Jiang Qianhui finished speaking, she left, leaving Gu Xunjing standing there as if his soul had been stolen away.
Jiang Qianhui was also very sad to leave the Gu family.
But now, she doesn't know what she should do.
She didn't want to hurt anyone, but it seems she hurt Gu Xunjing.
But how can I continue my marriage with him?
What should Su Mengyu do?
Jiang Qianhui was also in great pain.
……
Jiang family
"What's the Gu family's attitude now? Do they still want to proceed with the marriage?"
Yang Huirong was very anxious. Now that she learned that the Gu Group's stock had fallen sharply and might jeopardize its operations, she was even more worried.
Jiang Qianhui calmly said, "I have already gone to the Gu family to break off the engagement. I have arranged for someone to return the cruise ship and high-end jewelry that he gave me to them."
Yang Huirong raised her voice upon hearing this.
"What did you say? You went to the Gu family to break off the engagement? Why didn't you discuss it with us before doing so?"
Jiang Zhengguo pulled Yang Huirong aside and said, "Let Sui Sui decide this matter herself."
“It’s not that I don’t want him to make his own decision, I’m just saying that such a big decision should be discussed with us first. And the more I think about it, the more I feel that Gu Xunjing was framed, it must be Zhan Yanxun. Zhan Yanxun sabotaged this whole thing. If we break off the engagement now, wouldn’t that be doing Zhan Yanxun’s thing?”
"How can you be so sure it was Zhan Yanxun who did it? What if Gu Xunjing couldn't control himself and had a relationship with Su Mengyu? Who can say for sure what happened in that situation?"
Jiang Zhengguo's words immediately silenced Yang Huirong. If Gu Xunjing really couldn't control himself and had a relationship with Su Mengyu, then he wouldn't want such a son-in-law.
