Dear Commander-in-Chief

Chapter 319: An Unexpected Marriage Toke

Gong Jue’s words made Old Master Gu choke.

When he came back to his senses, his old face sank. “When did Qiqi have an engagement with the Gong family? Why didn’t I know!”

Old Madam’s eyes widened. “An engagement requires a keepsake. I don’t remember accepting your Gong family’s keepsake.”

Although she couldn’t wait to have the Gong family’s keepsake in her hands…

Then, she would be rich.

With Xuexue’s life backing, her Shen family could rise again.

Gu Meifeng was quick to join in the fun. “That’s right, that’s right. I remember that the Mu family gave me a keepsake back then. It seems to be a jade pendant of some kind. Qiqi has already accepted someone else’s jade pendant. She definitely can’t go back on her word.”

When the other women heard this, they didn’t differentiate between right and wrong and nodded in agreement.

They were on the same side now.

No matter what kind of shameless tricks she used, it was fine as long as she could drive Gu Qiqi away from Gong Jue.

Only then would their daughters have a chance.

Thus, they couldn’t wait for Gu Qiqi to marry Mu Liuchuan as soon as possible and leave Gong Jue. It should be said that he was the “best tribute” for them.

Unfortunately, the truth slapped them ruthlessly once more.

These fanatics couldn’t affect Gong Jue at all.

He stood tall and straight. His face was cold and his tone didn’t allow for any objection. “Of course, there’s a marriage agreement. It’s just that I respect Qiqi’s wishes and am unwilling to use the marriage agreement to bind her. I hope that she can sincerely accept me and talk about marriage again. As for the keepsake…”

He paused.

He scanned the room.

In the few seconds that he paused, there were gasps everywhere he looked.

“I’m going to explode!”

“Oh my god. I’m so envious of Qiqi. She actually managed to get the commander-in-chief to support her so much. She even said that there was no engagement…”

“I guess that Master Jue will definitely be the kind of person who will be willing to travel thousands of miles to come here for a smile from a beauty in the future… It’s so blissful to marry him!”

“Actually, I didn’t hear what Master Jue said at all. As soon as my ears came into contact with his voice, I became pregnant. Please protect the baby!”

Amidst the girls’ envious voices,Gong Jue curved his lips and said without batting an eyelid, “Grandpa, you might have forgotten that you personally accepted that keepsake.”

Old Master said, “I collected it myself? Impossible!”

Gong Jue responded. “Yes, everyone saw it with their own eyes.”

Everyone replied. “We were blind and didn’t see it at all!”

Gong Jue raised his arrogant chin and raised his eyebrows. “It’s not too late to look at it now. On the opposite wall, that painting that was framed with golden-framed painting was the keepsake that was sent over when I proposed marriage.”

Everyone followed Gong Jue’s gaze.

There was only a carefully framed Chinese painting on the marble wall.

The mood was remote and the strokes were breathtaking.

It was signed by the most famous painter in the Empire, Ms. Songsong.

This national painting was the priceless treasure, “Fishing On A Cold River In The Snow”!

This time, it was the uncles’ turn to explode.

“What? This national painting is an engagement token? Isn’t this too generous?”

“It’s said that 90% of the replicas on the black market have been hyped to tens of millions.”

“Ms. Songsong’s painting can’t be bought with money! Even if Gong Jue is her biological son, there’s definitely an extraordinary meaning to taking this painting out!”

“It’s over. My daughter doesn’t have a chance anymore… Using a famous Chinese painting as a keepsake, we can’t catch up to her…”

“Qiqi’s status in his heart isn’t ordinary…”

Unlike everyone’s excited discussions, Old Master Gu was stunned for a few seconds and couldn’t return to his senses.

That painting was actually the marriage token?

Old Master sized Gong Jue up carefully before realizing what was going on.
