Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Jingze stood there as he listened to her words. His gaze was light and his figure became much more sullen. “Aunty, are you talking about Lin Che?”
“You see? Even you know it yourself. You married a girl with such a shady family background. The wind she carries along led to all the trouble that happened in our family.” Gu Lanshan knew that her relations.h.i.+p with Lin Che was already beyond salvation. If Lin Che was going to be head of the family in the future, Gu Lanshan would absolutely not live in peace. She thought that she might as well give up on all that. Things were already in this state. It was best if Lin Che could leave Gu Jingze completely. It was better to let Mo Huiling marry Gu Jingze than to let Lin Che take control. However, if this was not possible, at least she was going to kick up a fuss until Lin Che could never become head of this family. Alternatively, she wanted to make Lin Che completely lose her power so that she couldn’t retaliate.
As for Gu Jingze, they shared the same surname after all and were relatives. Even if he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t do anything to her.
She could not be certain about anyone who was not a Gu.
Gu Jingze gradually turned his head. His clear eyes had no hint of warmth. Those dark pupils were like empty caves that surrounded people with a cold, powerful, firm and deathly atmosphere.
Gu Jingze replied, “Aunty, you have forgotten that it was Grandfather who made me marry Lin Che. Now that you’re mentioning this in front of Grandfather, are you trying to go against him?”
Gu Lanshan retorted, “Your grandfather made you marry her to carry on the bloodline. But now, she not only did not fulfill her duty, she even caused so much trouble. Since it’s like this, we now have someone else who can carry on the bloodline. In comparison to Lin Che, her background is clean, her family is stable, and she has a prominent status. She is better than Lin Che in every aspect. Naturally, Lin Che is already not the best candidate. I believe that I’m not the only one who thinks this way.”
Gu Jingze scoffed. Along with the curve of his cold smile, his sullen aura flowed throughout the room. It instantly made everyone s.h.i.+ver and keep a distance from him.
“I did not come back to hear Aunty bad-mouth my wife. I came to inform everyone that Lin Che and I will be holding a wedding ceremony in the near future. In addition, it will be very grand.”
“You…” Gu Lanshan was stumped.
They never held a wedding ceremony before. Why would he suddenly want to do so?
Was it to publicly and openly announce Lin Che’s status so that it would pave her future path as the matriarch?
Gu Lanshan’s expression changed. She stared coldly at Gu Xiande and said, “I object. I believe there are more people who disagree too. She still does not have a child currently. Who knows if she physically can bear children? What if after making it public, we have to change our story? We’d become the laughing stock. You still want a wedding ceremony? Letting Lin Che into our family is already her greatest honor and you still want to hold a wedding for her? Does her status deserve it?”
“Aunty!” Gu Jingze turned to face her. When he stared at Gu Lanshan, his eyes were calm and unwavering. At the same time, they were dark and stormy.
Gu Jingze would rarely lift his finger but when he did, n.o.body could stop him.
His coldness was well-known since he was young. Gu Lanshan never bothered to know in great detail, but she had vaguely heard about it.
However, she still would not believe that he would do anything to his aunty because of one Lin Che.
After all, she was his blood relative.
However, when Gu Jingze stared at her, her heart gradually became blurred. Those eyes were too cold. They were so cold that they seemed to freeze her heart up. Coldness seeped through her body from the inside and through her skin.
Gu Jingze said, “I call you Aunty on account that we are related by blood. Anything apart from that, I’ve never received a bit of favor from you. Neither have I been looked after by you for one day, much less received any affection from you. Thus, this is my warning to you. Don’t interfere with my marriage with Lin Che.”
His violently strong aura caused her entire body to s.h.i.+ver.
Gu Lanshan felt her heart palpitate. She held her hand against her chest as her red lips remained half-opened. Her makeup couldn’t even hide the fear on her face.
Although she knew Gu Jingze’s personality all along, this was the first time he really stared at her face to face.
And it was all because of a woman. It was because of Lin Che.
As a member of the Gu family, Gu Lanshan had never experienced such treatment in her life. n.o.body had ever talked to her this way.
Looking at Gu Jingze’s gaze now, it was as if she lost her ability to speak. She was dumbfounded.
After a long time, she finally regained some strength and turned to Gu Xiande. “Father, are you seeing this? I know it was you who wanted Jingze to marry Lin Che in the beginning, but it was Sister-in-law who gave you this suggestion. It wasn’t your original intention. Look what happened now? See what Lin Che has done because you chose her? Now, Jingze has been enchanted by her and is starting to protect her. He’s going against his own family right now. In the future, who knows what else is going to happen?”
Gu Xiande was listening to them the whole time.
For so many years in business, it was absolutely unacceptable to call Gu Xiande an old tyc.o.o.n. He looked at Gu Jingze, then at Gu Lanshan, and said, “Jingze, be polite to your aunty. You are younger than her. You must also know your limits.”
Gu Lanshan was a bit stunned, but then, Gu Xiande said, “Lanshan, you are being too nosey. Jingze has to handle this matter. However, it’s not as serious as you think it is.”
He looked at Gu Jingze, “If Mo Huiling’s child is born, get a DNA test done immediately. If it belongs to our family, I’ll raise the child on your behalf. If the child is not ours, we’ll immediately make it public. But now that the child is still not born, don’t hold the wedding for the time being. Otherwise, the rumors will get uglier.”
Gu Jingze’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to Gu Xiande, “Grandfather!”
Gu Xiande said, “Jingze, listen to me this time.”
“What if I say no?”
Everybody was stunned once again.
Was Gu Jingze starting to rebel against Gu Xiande for the sake of going public with Lin Che?
Gu Lanshan chimed in again, “Father, you see this? I told you that this Lin Che will be a scourge sooner or later.”
Gu Jingze remained standing alone. He had an unstoppable strength. He said plainly, “Even if she’s a scourge, I want her now. If any of you want to object, you still have to consider what I want. I said that I’ll publicly announce our marriage. We have already taken our wedding photos and we’ll be able to prepare for our wedding soon. Object all you want; I don’t care. I’m only here today to inform you.”
“You…” Gu Lanshan glared at Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze stared back at her. “What’s wrong, Aunty? You have something to say?”
Gu Lanshan stepped backward.
A lady of the Gu family was now actually forced to back down by her own nephew.
However, she couldn’t admit defeat. Looking at Gu Jingze posture now, she was so suppressed that she did not dare to say a word.
