been pursuing him at the time, so that's how I found out."Now that this matter is finally settled, Cheng Ruo'er quickly steered the conversation back on track. "Gu Chi, I came to you as soon as I hea..."Gu Chi!" Seeing that Gu Chi didn't answer him, Old Master Gu's face finally showed a few points of anger, and he slammed his cane heavily, "I'm asking you a question!"

Gu Chi only then slowly turned his head, his expression still cold, "I said it wasn't true, do you believe me"

After all, he was still his own grandfather. Gu Chi respected Old Master Gu, but not in a servile way.

Mr. Gu was so angry that his wrinkles seemed about to fly up, "Gu Chi! You really think that such a woman who disregards propriety can enter the doors of our Gu family!"

Grandfather Gu's single statement caused a stir in the room.

Mr. Gu's words couldn't be clearer; he was denying Su Keqin's status as a daughter-in-law of the Gu family.

Su Ke Xin's body trembled uncontrollably.

She herself didn't know why, when she heard Old Master Gu say this, her heart would feel as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.

Mingming, getting married was only for the hukou in City S. Now that she has the hukou, even if she loses this marriage, she should be indifferent, shouldn't she

For some unknown reason, the thought of divorcing Gu Chi and never being able to return to that villa again filled her with a sense of emptiness. The thought of herself and Gu Chi possibly becoming strangers once more weighed heavily on her heart.

Noticing Su Kexin's change in expression, Gu Chi only felt a slight pain in his heart.

Almost without thinking, he grabbed Su Kexin's hand tightly under the table.

Everyone present, faced with Old Master Gu's anger, was too scared to speak. But there was one person who kept his head bowed desperately, afraid that his smug expression would be noticed by others.

That person is Lin Xiaoru.

Okay, the pictures on this screen are all her work.

Although Lin Xiaoru was happy to hear that Gu Yichan would expose Su Kexin's true colors at the banquet, she also thought it wasn't cruel enough.

If you're going to harm Su Kexin, do it thoroughly. Make sure she is utterly ruined and disgraced, never able to raise her head in high society again!

So she secretly bribed the Gu family's servants and played the photos in her hands.

Let Su Kexin be seen in such a disgraceful state. This way, even if Su Kexin and Gu Chi divorced, with Gu Yichan's personality that values face, it would be absolutely impossible for him to have anything to do with Su Kexin again!

Lin Xiaoru was happily anticipating Su Ke Xin being ruthlessly kicked out by the Gu family, but unexpectedly, Gu Chi suddenly spoke up. His words froze the smile on Lin Xiaoru's face instantly!

"Grandpa, you're right. Perhaps Xīn isn't qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family." The first half of Gu Chi's sentence made Su Ke Xīn's face even paler, but he quickly added, "However, my wife doesn't need the Gu family's affirmation."

Su KeXin looked up in disbelief, meeting Gu Chi's gaze.

His obsidian eyes, calm yet resolute, and the warmth of his hand transmitting through her skin, felt like melting away the ice in her heart.

Su Kexin suddenly felt a sourness in her nose.

Mr. Gu was also stunned. On the side, Gu Xiao couldn't bear it any longer and reprimanded in a low voice: "Gu Chi, how do you speak to Grandpa! Marrying such an unfaithful woman, losing face for our Gu family, you still don't admit your mistake!"

Gu Chi then slowly shifted his gaze from Su Kexin to Gu Xiao, his eyes cold.

Just a look, and Gu Xiao instantly felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Gu Xiao." Gu Chi directly called out Gu Xiao's name, his voice cold to the point of freezing. "My woman, stop pointing fingers and meddling."

Gu Xiao's face paled, wanting to say something, but suddenly, Old Master Gu beside him coughed lightly.

At that moment, Gu Xiao didn't dare to say anything more, he just looked at Old Master Gu.

"This matter is still open to debate, after all, she is a woman that Gu Chi brought back as his wife through proper channels." Grandfather Gu said calmly, his tone unreadable, "Don't let rumors spread by small-minded people cause you and your own kin to fight amongst yourselves."

Now, Su Keqin was stunned.

She didn't know much about Old Master Gu. But everyone said he was a ruthless and merciless man, otherwise, he wouldn't have single-handedly built the glory of the Gu family.

But unexpectedly, he was so easy to talk to. Even after I made Gu Jia lose face in front of so many people, he didn't hold it against me

Gu Xiao and Gu Chi were also surprised by their grandfather's reaction, but after all, they knew that their grandfather was a man of his word, so they didn't dare to say much.

Of all the people there, Lin Xiaoru was the most unwilling to accept defeat.

Her eyes widened, almost unable to believe her ears!

She thought she could definitely ruin Su Kexin this time, making her disgraced and kicked out. But unexpectedly, nothing happened at all!

Gu Zhi did not disdain Su Ke Xin's appearance, even Gu Lao Ye didn't pursue it!

What on earth is going on!

Unable to bear it, Lin Xiaoru almost blurted out without thinking: "Grandfather, this is not a rumor at all, it's all real—"

Before Ke Lin Xiao Ru could finish her words, Old Master Gu suddenly raised his head. His sharp gaze frightened Lin Xiao Ru so much that she couldn't utter a word!e could also take care of Cheng Ke Xin. 。When Cheng Ke Xin first woke up, he could know 。During that time, Gu Zhi always worried that Cheng Ke Xin wouldn't wake up. But even so, he still stayed by her...
