Both of them were competing to marry their daughters off to Gu Junhang, and although they seed friendly on the surface, there was fierce rivalry behind the scenes.
In order to win Gu Junhang as a son-in-law, both families employed all kinds of tactics.
They thought that Gu Junhang would lose his patience after a whole year of guarding the vegetative Xia Yumo, but things didn’t turn out as expected.
Just as they were about to give up, they found out that although she had awakened, she was unable to walk.
A man of Gu Junhang’s status would never marry a girl with two disabled legs.
But now that she was disabled, their daughters would have the upper hand.
However, as they expected, Gu Junhang and Xia Yumo broke up, and although he would occasionally visit her, the visits were less frequent than when they were engaged.
Thus, they resud their efforts to marry their daughters into the Gu family, but now...
They were shocked to see Gu Junhao taking the disabled woman to such an important banquet at the Presidential Residence.
Everyone knew that by bringing Xia Yumo there, Gu Junhao was announcing to everyone that she would be the future Young Mistress of the Gu family.
Gu Junhang did not fear ridicule for marrying a disabled woman and wanted everyone to know about it; it was simply... unthinkable.
Those who wanted to marry their daughters off to Gu Junhang were enraged.
Their daughters were defeated by a disabled girl.
Under the escort of the security personnel at the Presidential Residence, Xia Yumo, pushed in her wheelchair by Gu Junhang, entered the residence.
She naturally did not ignore the various gazes, curious, shocked, friendly, or hostile and scornful, that were cast at her.
She had prepared for such attention, and yet, she still felt a little uneasy.
Noticing her discomfort, Gu Junhang leaned down and whispered in her ear:
"Don’t be nervous, you’re the most beautiful one here tonight. Everyone else is just jealous of you."
Xia Yumo couldn’t help but laugh. Indeed, they were jealous, but as for being the most beautiful...
"Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you boast like that?"
Gu Junhang seed unfazed, "I’m telling the truth, why would my conscience hurt?"
As they walked and whispered, their smiles could not be ignored, which made many people feel particularly annoyed.
But out of respect for Gu Junhang’s presence, they didn’t show their hostility openly.
Fathers and daughters alike attended the banquet with their wives and children, and when those fathers saw Xia Yumo, they gritted their teeth with envy. Their daughters were even more jealous, wishing they could swallow Xia Yumo alive.
Gu Junhang pushed Xia Yumo into the banquet hall, greeted the president, and went looking for the Qiao Xu couple.
"Momo, you’re here."
Qiaoxu ca forward, noticing Xia Yumo’s carefully made-up face. Despite her legs’ inconvenience, she was still the most eye-catching person at the party.
She couldn’t help but notice the hostile gazes that were focused on Xia Yumo;
Their envy only made them uglier.
Lu Moqing checked his watch and said, "It’s about ti for Gu Junhao to arrive. Why isn’t he here yet?"
