Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 554 Announcing The Engagement

“I’m guessing that he’s not going to announce that Lu Yan will be inheriting the Gu family. This matter is probably related to Yao Mengqing. “If I tell Yao Mengqing that the mission has been completed, will she get carried away? When she sees me standing in front of her, will she think that she’s seeing a ghost?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. She really wanted to see Yao Mengqing’s expression at that time!

Qin An smiled. Only Little Six could come up with such a plan.

Qiao Xi took out her phone and sent a message to Yao Mengqing.

In the Gu family.

Yao Mengqing lowered her head to look at her phone. The assassin from Ling Pavilion killer had sent her a message. It said ‘mission completed’. She was instantly overjoyed when she read it.

Mission completed… That meant that Qiao Xi was dead.

Qiao Xi was finally dead, but she had a feeling of disbelief. She did not expect that this b*tch who took Ah Zheng away would die so easily. It seemed that she was no match for her.

As long as it was Ling Pavilion, the assassination would not fail. Qiao Xi would be killed sooner or later, but Yao Mengqing never expected that the assassin would succeed with a single strike. She originally thought that she would have to be entangled with Qiao Xi for a period of time.

Yao Mengqing resisted the urge to laugh. Qiao Xi was finally dead.

Now, even if Ah Zheng was angry and unwilling, it could not change the fact that Qiao Xi was dead. She could stand by Ah Zheng’s side and become his only woman. She could give birth to children for him and accompany him for his entire life.

At this moment, Gu Weiming’s voice came from the banquet hall. “I’ve invited everyone here today to announce a joyous occasion.”

The Gu family’s business partners and branch family members were all gathered here. Everyone guessed that Gu Weiming was going to hand the inheritance to Lu Yan this time. While they were thinking of this, Gu Weiming announced loudly

“Today is my son Gu Zheng and Yao Mengqing’s engagement party.”

The entire place was silent.

Gu Yao stood up abruptly. Everyone below the stage widened their eyes in disbelief.

Gu Zheng… was engaged to Yao Mengqing?

But wasn’t Gu Zheng already married?

Although the two of them did not hold a wedding, all the relatives and friends of the Gu family knew about this. Moreover, most of them had seen Qiao Xi before.

Why was he suddenly getting engaged to Yao Mengqing?

“As Gu Zheng is the eldest son of the Gu family, we naturally can’t let him fool around when it comes to marriage. Miss Yao and Ah Zheng grew up together. The Yao family and the Gu family are on good terms as well. If we can become in-laws, that’ll be even better.

“As Gu Zheng’s father, I’ll officially announce Gu Zheng and Yao Mengqing’s engagement. Not long after, I’ll arrange for the two of them to get married. When the day comes, I hope everyone can come and show your support.”

There was silence-dead silence.

No one dared to say anything. Gu Yao could not help but say, “Dad! What are you doing?! Gu Zheng is already married, but you’re still making him get engaged to Sister Mengqing? Isn’t this a remarriage? If Sister Mengqing gets together with Gu Zheng, their relationship will be considered to be an affair. If news of this gets out, it won’t be good for Sister Mengqing either. You don’t want to be hurled with criticisms, right?!”

Yao Mengqing’s face was gentle.

Gu Weiming pretended to be a kind father. “Ah Yao, I know that you care about your brother, but as his father, I have to protect his future.

“You’re also clearly aware that Qiao Xi isn’t a good person. She’s not worthy to be the young madam of the Gu family. Not to mention her identity, even her upbringing and bearing are far inferior to Mengqing. Moreover, Mengqing and Ah Zheng grew up together. If it weren’t for Qiao Xi stirring things up, the two of them would have gotten married and had children a long time ago.”

Everyone knew that Mrs. Gu was the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, which could not be considered a noble family. Moreover, she grew up in the countryside when she was young. She was indeed not worthy of Gu

Zheng.

However, saying such a thing in public was really not giving Qiao Xi any face.

Gu Yao said indignantly, “Since it’s Gu Zheng’s marriage, you must ask if he’s willing first!”

Gu Weiming frowned. “I’m his father. I’ve already agreed to it, so how could he not be willing? Ah Yao, we noble families have always been particular about status. Qiao Xi isn’t compatible with our Gu family.

“If they weren’t married, I could just turn a blind eye. However, they’re already married. How can our Gu family tolerate such an unpresentable daughter-in-law?”

Gu Yao stomped his feet anxiously and turned to look at his assistant. The assistant said in a low voice, “I’ve called, but President Gu won’t pick up.”
