Chapter 341: Choosing Sui Sui
Gu Xuanwu said in shock, "Su Shitian, if Gu Xunjing really marries Su Mengyu, are you willing to give Gu Xunjing 50% of the shares of the Su Group?"
“That’s right, we only have this one daughter now, and we can’t bear to see her sad and upset. Her biggest wish is to marry Gu Xunjing, and as her parents, we just want to help her fulfill that wish.”
For many years they have been searching for their missing son, but there has been no news. Recently, they found the jade pendant, but they still cannot find him.
In the vast sea of people, the couple both hoped and feared being hurt. They didn't even dare to fantasize about reuniting with their son, afraid they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Now they only have this one daughter, and they really don't want to see her sad. They might as well just give the Su family to Gu Xunjing. Then the two of them won't have to worry about anything else and can just focus on finding their son.
Li Wanyin looked at Gu Xuanwu. Besides her, her husband cared most about the Gu family's business. If the Su Group's assets were given to his son, the Gu family's business would become even stronger, making them the richest family in Country A. Would her husband be unable to resist the temptation and want to break off the engagement with Jiang Qianhui?
Li Wanyin stepped on Gu Xuanwu's foot, biting her lip and whispering cautiously, "You're not thinking of selling your son for the sake of the inheritance, are you?"
Li Wanyin spoke very softly, so that only the two of them could hear her. To be honest, Gu Xuanwu was somewhat tempted, after all, the dowry included the Su Group.
It really made him envious.
However, seeing his wife's expression, if he dared to agree to let his son marry Su Mengyu, his wife would probably eat him alive.
“Su Shitian, you do value Su Mengyu very much and are willing to give everything for her. You are indeed very qualified parents, but matters of the heart still depend on the two children.”
After Gu Xuanwu finished speaking, he cautiously looked at his wife, Li Wanyin. There shouldn't be anything wrong with what he said, right?
Seeing his wife's complexion improve, Gu Xuanwu finally felt relieved.
Su Mengyu looked at Gu Xunjing with deep affection and said, "Brother Xunjing, if you marry me, you will be the president of the Su Group. Everything in the Su family will be yours. I will also try my best to be a good wife, bear your children, and take care of your uncle and aunt. Will you marry me?"
Su Mengyu has fair skin, but her face is pale now, and there are tears glistening in her eyes, making her look very broken.
Gu Xunjing looked at Su Mengyu and silently pried her hand away from his. He didn't even dare to look at her, but said in a low but firm voice.
"I'm sorry, it makes me very sad that you're crying, but I can't let Sui Sui cry."
Su Mengyu's brows furrowed slightly; she would rather be sad than see Jiang Qianhui sad. Between Jiang Qianhui and herself, she chose Jiang Qianhui.
Even the entire Su Group couldn't compare to his Jiang Qianhui.
Su Shitian angrily pointed at Gu Xunjing and said, "Gu Xunjing, my Su Group is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate that I'm offering to you, and you still don't want it? Are you crazy?"
Ma Zhongling: "What's so great about Jiang Qianhui? My daughter is beautiful, a beauty pageant winner, and has a high IQ. She and you have been childhood sweethearts. Have you lost your mind?"
Gu Xunjing: "Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry I can't be your son-in-law. But as you said, Su Mengyu is a beauty pageant winner, beautiful, and from the Su Group. Someone like her should have a boy who is devoted to her. Someone like me is obviously not good enough for her."
Su Mengyu lowered her head because she didn't want to marry her, let alone feel unworthy of her.
"Let me tell you, if you dare to marry Jiang Qianhui, I will definitely have your wedding smashed."
Seeing that the soft approach wasn't working, Su Shitian decided to try a hard approach instead.
Gu Xuanwu's face was cold, but he stammered, "Gu Xunjing, why don't you reconsider?"
Damn it, I'm still tempted.
Li Wanyin pinched Gu Xuanwu on the back, and Gu Xuanwu immediately raised his voice and said, "You dare to ruin our Gu family's wedding? Do you think I'm dead?"
Li Wanyin said sharply, "If you come to our Gu family's wedding for a drink, as longtime friends, we will be very happy. But if you want to cause trouble, then there is no place for you at our Gu family's wedding."
Ma Zhongling was furious and said, "Li Wanyin, we've been best friends for so many years. I never thought you would cut ties with us for Jiang Qianhui?"
“We don’t want to sever ties with you, but since you’re causing trouble, I can’t let my daughter-in-law suffer. So we have no choice but to make you suffer.”
Ma Zhongling was furious. She never expected that you would actually protect your daughter-in-law, putting aside our years of friendship.
“A daughter-in-law is like a daughter to me. Since she married into my Gu family, I will naturally protect her. Even though we have been good friends for many years, I will not let you bully her.”
Ma Zhongling was so angry that her face turned green.
"You really are a good mother-in-law. Our Su Mengyu is so unlucky to have you as her mother-in-law. But as your best friend of many years, I still have to remind you that Jiang Qianhui is a divorcee. You, Gujia, are marrying a divorced daughter-in-law. Even if people don't say it to your faces, do you know how many people are laughing at you behind your backs?"
“Ma Zhongling, after so many years of friendship, don’t you know our family rules? Our family has never cared about what others say or their feelings; we only care about the feelings of our own family members.”
Ma Zhongling felt conflicted. She knew that Li Wanyin was a good mother-in-law, and if her daughter could really marry Gu Xunjing, she could rest assured, not only because of their long-standing friendship, but also because she understood Li Wanyin as a person.
It seems her daughter isn't fortunate enough to have him, but she's still very angry. It was clearly her daughter who met Gu Xunjing first, and they've had a relationship for decades; such a good family shouldn't be her daughter's turn.
"I know you don't care, but people's opinions can be terrible. Also, Jiang Qianhui was pregnant. Although you say it was a medical accident, Jiang Qianhui was in bed with Zhan Yanxun before the accident. Who knows if she was pregnant at that time, or if the child in her belly was Zhan Yanxun's? Does your Gu family want to raise someone else's child?"
Gu Xunjing's eyes immediately turned fierce. He said sharply, "Auntie, I respect you as elders, but if you dare to spread rumors outside, don't blame me for being impolite."
