Chapter 119 You Are Already Married
Chapter 119 You Are Already Married
Gu Xi’s words hit the nail on the head.
Four parents, eight eyes, you look at me, I look at you, and we are all laughing awkwardly.
Jiang Jingchi was sipping wine calmly on the side, looking like he was watching a show. After all, his wife always gave him unexpected surprises.
Finally, it was Jiang Huaian who spoke up to break the silence.
He looked at Gu Xi and said with a smile: "Haha...yes, we are just curious about why you went there for a date."
"We're not going on a date."
Gu Xi continued expressionlessly: "To be precise, I went there to discuss business, and Jiang Jingchi..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Jingchi.
This cold look made Jiang Jingchi's heart skip a beat.
Then, Gu Xi smiled slightly, "Young Master Jiang went there to date a beautiful woman. There is also a wonderful story about this beautiful woman, but I think you probably don't want to know."
In an instant, the dining table became eerily quiet, as if one could hear a pin drop on the table.
Jiang Huaian and Ning Yuexun felt that they had lost all face.
Jiang Huaian glared at Jiang Jingchi and said sternly, "You are married now, and you still don't know how to settle down. Are you worthy of Xixi?"
Jiang Jingchi opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He knew it was useless to explain.
Gu Tianze's face darkened and he put down his wine glass heavily.
Although the marriage between the two families was a strong alliance, he did not want his only precious daughter to be bullied.
He glanced at Jiang Jingchi and said in a deep voice, "Jingchi, if you really don't want to get married, you can just say it openly. Xixi is the apple of our eye, and our family won't let her suffer this. Anyway, no outsiders know about the marriage, so we can get divorced!"
Jiang Jingchi tightened his grip on the wine glass slightly and glanced at Gu Xi secretly.
At this time, Ning Yuexun became anxious, "Old Gu, don't be impulsive. Didn't we just discuss it? Since their affair has been exposed, why not take this opportunity to announce the fact that they are married? Why are they talking about divorce?"
Gu Tianze was also angry. "Look at your son. Even after getting married, he still has scandals every other day. People's patience is limited. Old Jiang, our two families have been friends for many years. We really want to become relatives with you, but..."
Suddenly, Gu Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "I think now is not the best time to announce our marriage."
Seeing Gu Xi's calm appearance, everyone present was stunned.
Ling Jingyi blinked and whispered, "Xixi, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Gu Xi smiled. "Our two families are originally a business marriage, and we want to maximize our benefits. Now, people outside are speculating that Jiang Jingchi and I are in love, and both the Gu Group and the Jiang Group have reaped the benefits. However, if our marriage is announced, it will be confirmed that the Gu and Jiang families will unite, and the balance of the four major families in Huadu will be broken. At that time, we may become the target of public criticism and be attacked. So, my suggestion is to wait until the projects we have on hand are stable."
These words made Gu Tianze and Jiang Huaian fall into deep thought.
"Xixi is right." Jiang Huaian looked at her with admiration and approval. "Xixi is so considerate of the overall situation, which makes us elders seem a little petty. Then I'll listen to you. You can make it public whenever you want."
"Thanks dad,"
Ling Jingyi looked at her with some concern, "Xixi, is this really what you really mean?"
Gu Xi smiled calmly, "Mom, don't worry, we get along well."
Indeed, non-interference is the best way for them to get along with each other.
For Gu Xi, getting married is nothing more than finding someone of equal status to take the Gu Group to the next level, and Jiang Jingchi is the most suitable candidate, and he knows her inside out.
However, Gu Xi was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Jingchi looked at her as if he wanted to kill her.
How had she offended him again?
Could it be that he was embarrassed because she revealed Shen Mengyan's affairs?
Gu Xi was secretly proud in his heart. It was what he deserved. Who told him to have so many women?
Finally, halfway through the meal, Gu Xi's phone rang, and she had to leave first because of something.
Jiang Jingchi also found an excuse and left.
Walk to the door of Jasmine’s Private Kitchen.
Jiang Jingchi called out to her, "Gu Xi! Stop!"
Gu Xi looked back at him and said, "Eh? You're leaving too? I called a designated driver, would you like me to give you a ride?"
Jiang Jingchi was so angry that his teeth itched. He clenched his back teeth and said, "Thank you, are you so eager to send me away? Do you want to draw a line between us?"
Gu Xi looked confused. What was going on?
She frowned slightly, "You didn't drink much, why are you acting crazy?"
"I'm not drunk!" Jiang Jingchi gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Xi, what do you think of our marriage? Is it just a business, a transaction?"
"What else?" Gu Xi smiled slightly, "What else do you think it could be?"
Her response without hesitation left Jiang Jingchi speechless.
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Jingchi suddenly laughed, "Yes! You are right! I did not ask the PR department to issue a clarification announcement today. It seems that we have the same idea."
At this time, Gu Xi's car drove over.
Jiang Jingchi helped her open the car door, "My partner, goodbye."
She got into the car and looked at Jiang Jingchi deeply before closing the door.
Gu Xi came to Yemei.
Yan Chenqi and Jiang Li had been sitting there waiting for a long time.
As soon as Gu Xi sat down, he smiled at Yan Chenqi, "Baoer, your call just now was so timely. You are simply my savior."
Yan Chenqi raised an eyebrow, "Why? Is there still a situation that Miss Gu can't solve?"
So, Gu Xi told him what had just happened.
Jiang Li was shocked. "Oh my God, so you and Jiang Jingchi, you really..."
Gu Xi glanced at her and said, "If we are sisters, don't say those two words."
Jiang Li took a sip of wine to calm herself down, "Anything is possible in this world."
Gu Xi took a few sips of wine, still wondering about what Jiang Jingchi had just said.
Yan Chenqi looked at her, smiled mysteriously, and said casually, "Xixi, why don't you take this opportunity to make an official announcement."
"Why are you saying the same thing as my parents?"
Gu Xi took another sip of wine depressedly, "I don't want it! This marriage was not what we wanted in the first place."
Yan Chenqi smiled jokingly, "How do you know he doesn't want to?"
Gu Xi frowned deeply, and memories flashed back, "Anyway, I just know it."
At this time, Jiang Li stood up and said, "Okay, sisters, I have to participate in the group planning proposal competition tomorrow, so I'll leave first. Bye."
