My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Chapter 992: 66th Floor

Chapter 992: 66th Floor


“I’m sorry, Mr. Huang. Something came up, so I have to go now.”


To those who left in the beginning, the Huang and Gu families could still see them off with smiles on their faces. However, as more and more people left, their smiles grew stiffer and stiffer.


Especially Gu Mingzhe’s face—he could no longer suppress his grave expression.


At that moment, his mind was racing. He kept mulling over about might have gone wrong.


After all, since the beginning, after he revealed Zhong Qianqian’s ident.i.ty, the Nangong family did not act like this even when they found out that Zhong Qianqian was still in jail. Especially Nangong Qin, who called Gu Mingzhe almost every day and visited the Gu residence many times.


However, ever since he brought Zhong Qianqian back to the Nangong family and met Old Master Nangong, Nangong Qin stopped contacting him as frequently. It was only a few days ago when Nangong Qin called to inform Gu Mingzhe that Old Master Nangong was not in good health and hoped that they could have the wedding soon. After that, Nangong Qin did not contact anyone from the Gu family again. Also, the Nangong family did not express any opinion on Zhong Qianqian’s marriage either.


Looking at the expensive watch on his wrist, Gu Mingzhe realized that it was already a quarter to one in the afternoon and the Nangong family had yet to arrive. Gu Mingzhe’s heart sank.


Something unexpected must have happened before their wedding.


Similarly, many of the wedding guests’ phones started to ring one after the other. The Gu and Huang families noticed that these people came up with various excuses after receiving the call and left.


Their company was either in trouble, they had important business matters to deal with, or their children fell sick. Someone even came up with a particularly careless excuse—they claimed that they forgot to turn off the stove before leaving the house.


d.a.m.nit…


Everyone who attended the wedding banquet was either rich or wealthy.


Which one of them did not have a maid or butler at home?


What was the difference between using such a horrible excuse to leave and face-smacking you by announcing that they would no longer attend the wedding?


Most importantly, these people did not leave the hotel after taking leave. Instead, they headed toward the 66th floor. Knowing this sent the Gu and Huang families’ hearts down into the deepest depths.


The Gu and Huang families could no longer hide their suppressed anger as they watched the gossip columnists happily filming from the side. Their smiles disappeared completely as they stared bleakly after the guests who left one after the other.


At least the first few guests still came up with excuses to leave. Soon, those who followed realized that the people before them had exhausted all the excuses they could think of. What else could they say? Thus, they all left like a swarm of bees, not even bothering to say goodbye.


Those who could not take the elevator to the 66th floor hastened to make a long trip to the elevators on the other side and went up to the 66th floor.


Needless to say, everyone shared some form of tacit understanding.


The gossip columnists realized something was amiss the moment the Ning and Xiao families went up to the 66th floor. Although there were still people filming here, each media company seemed to have left one person here. The rest of the reporters secretly sneaked up to the 66th floor from the back.


Five to six hundred people started to leave like a swarm of bees, and none could stop the rapidly decreasing number of guests from leaving. Gu Mingyan could no longer maintain a friendly expression on her face. She glared at Zhong Qianqian and asked sternly, “What’s going on? What are you scheming?”


Zhong Qianqian was also scared out of her wits by these guests who retreated like the tide. Now that Gu Mingyan yelled at her like this, her tears squeezed out from her eyes immediately.


She looked like a helpless and pitiful little white flower once more.


“All you know is to cry! What’s the point of crying? Hurry up and go check what’s going on upstairs!”
