Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Zhanqing stopped instantly.
Jiang Yining curled her lips and said provocatively, “I’ve already married Lu Zhi and beco the Young Madam of the Lu family. Gu Zhanqing, you’re no longer qualified to control . From now on, only Lu Zhi is my family.”
As she spoke, she straightened her right index finger and pushed Gu Zhanqing’s hand away from her shoulder.
Gu Zhanqing’s eyes twitched, and he said, “Tell him that the person he’s looking for isn’t here.”
“Yes…”
Su Huai just replied when a clear and arrogant voice ca from outside the door.
“Mr. Gu ca all this way from the capital city to invite my wife as a guest. Why didn’t you tell earlier? 1 would have done my best to play host to you.” Lu Zhi barged in with his n as he spoke.
He walked up to Jiang Yining and pulled her into his arms before he looked up and t Gu Zhanqing’s gaze.
One of them was cold and noble, while the other was mature, steady, and elegant.
Lu Zhi’s aura was not inferior to Gu Zhanqing’s at all.
Both n did not speak, as if they were secretly figuring out each other’s abilities.
After a long pause, Gu Zhanqing suppressed the anger in his heart and said, “Yining is my niece. She is young and immature. She had a conflict with her family, ran away from ho in a fit of anger, and did sothing irrational. I hope for Mr. Lu’s understanding. Let take her ho so I can answer to the family.”
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Yining.
No wonder he couldn’t find anything about her background despite sending so many people to investigate her.
It was because she was from the Gu family in the capital city.
But now was not the ti to discuss this.
Lu Zhi smiled dotingly and patted Jiang Yining’s head before he replied calmly, “Mr. Gu, it’s not that 1 don’t want to give you face, but Yining and I are already legally married. How can I let you take my wife away? Besides, I’ve been with Yining long enough to know that she’s not as young and immature as you say. On the contrary, she was level-headed and quick-witted. She knew when to give versus take and is always mindful of the big picture.”
Jiang Yining blushed.
Was she as good as he said?
Gu Zhanqing saw the intimacy between the two, and his mood worsened.
“Lu Zhi, I have a good relationship with Old Master Lu. For the sake of our families, I hope you will let my niece go. She is still young, so she’s not as considerate when it cos to dealing with problems. Given your status, you deserve to marry a better girl. I’d reward you handsoly if you could let her go.”
“Mr. Gu, do you think I’m soone who’d sell my wife for glory?” Lu Zhi mocked. “If you didn’t understand what I said just now, I’ll say it again. Yining is very good, and I’m determined to keep her as my wife in this lifeti. No one can separate us.”
“Did you hear that? Just give up now!” Jiang Yining echoed.
Gu Zhanqing couldn’t take it anymore and scolded, “Jiang Yining, you can throw a tantrum at if you’d like, but you can’t joke around with your life. How old is he? How old are you? Do you want to ruin your life?”
After all, he didn’t like Lu Zhi! He felt that he wasn’t worthy of Jiang Yining at all!
Darkness flashed across Lu Zhi’s eyes, but before he could retaliate, Jiang Yining smiled sweetly and held his arm.
She then leaned her head on his shoulder and said, “I am nine years younger than him. That’s a fact that cannot be changed. So what if he’s older? Nothing can stop true love. 1 feel very blessed as Lu Zhi’s wife! And that’s enough!”
Lu Zhi’s heart relaxed as he hugged her waist.
When husband and wife worked together, they could overco any difficulties!
No matter what Gu Zhanqing said, he couldn’t do anything if they did not waver!
Gu Zhanqing was so angry that he could not speak.
Lu Zhi said, “Mr. Gu, if there’s nothing else, I’d like to take Yining ho now. 1’11 arrange for you to et my family in a few days. I didn’t know that Yining was your niece, so I didn’t inform you of our marriage. Now that I know, I’ll do what needs to be done.”
He then walked out of the suite with Jiang Yining.
Gu Zhanqing’s n were about to stop him when Lu Zhi said unhurriedly, “I know that the Gu family has a lot of influence in the capital city, but this is A-City. You should think carefully whether you should let us through.”
Gu Zhanqing’s n froze.
Su Huai looked to Gu Zhanqing for instructions and then gave the other n a look telling them to back off.
Lu Zhi waited for the n to move aside before they walked out.
Gu Zhanqing’s body tensed as he watched them leave. His hands that were by his sides were tightly clenched into fists.
After Jiang Yining left the resort and got into Lu Zhi’s car, she imdiately retracted her smile and stayed as far away from him as possible.
She knew that Gu Zhanqing would not let her off so easily.
That was why she sent Lu Zhi a distress ssage with her location, asking him to pick her up, when she waited at the bus stop for Gu Zhanqing’s n to appear.
She just didn’t expect Lu Zhi to be so impressive!
He ca so quickly, and he was so fierce when he verbally attacked Gu Zhanqing!
Jiang Yining had long forgotten about her displeasure from last night. All that was left in her heart was gratitude.
After clearing her head, she said, “Lu Zhi, 1 know you have many questions for . So, let introduce myself to you first. I’m indeed Gu Zhanqing’s niece, but I’m not related to him by blood. He’s just my grandfather’s adopted son.”
“Also, it’s important for to emphasize that we are not close. Since he brought back to the Gu residence after my parents passed, 1 haven’t had a good day. You can go and investigate this. 1 just want to say that I ca to the Lu family without any ulterior motives.”
She was afraid that Lu Zhi would misunderstand that she was sent by Gu Zhanqing to spy on his business.
She wanted to clarify things upfront, so he wouldn’t suspect her.
Lu Zhi didn’t believe that she married him without any ulterior motives.
But he believed that she did not marry him for Gu Zhanqing.
“You haven’t had a good day at the Gu residence?”
Lu Zhi was silent for a few seconds before he repeated her words softly.
Jiang Yining nodded earnestly. “I have a younger twin sister, Jiang Rou. She’s prettier than , well-behaved and frail. She’s won Gu Zhanqing’s favor while I’ve been hated by him since young. Any carelessness on my part would lead to a beating or scolding from him.”
“Before 1 turned twenty, my birthday wish every year was to leave the Gu residence as soon as possible.”
Lu Zhi’s heart ached for her as he looked at her indifferent expression.
He gently held her head and pressed it against his chest as he said, “Jiang Yining, I’ll make you happy every day for the rest of your life.”
Jiang Yining was startled at first.
Then, she smiled, broke free from his embrace, and said, “I’m very grateful for what you said. But, Lu Zhi, we won’t be together forever.”
So…
His promise would just be empty talk.
Lu Zhi’s expression beca even more indifferent. “Who can predict what will happen in the future?”
Jiang Yining was stunned.
What did he an?
Without giving her ti to figure out what he ant, Lu Zhi changed the subject. “If Gu Zhanqing doesn’t agree to our marriage, he will definitely kick up a big fuss. I’ll keep you here whatever the cost. But don’t let down. Do not change sides just because he scolds you.”
“I won’t. Don’t worry. Even if I die, 1 won’t follow him back to the Gu residence.” Jiang Yining promised.
A faint smile broke out on Lu Zhi’s handso face. “That’s good..”
