Chapter 49: Mr. Gu, how can you prove that I am your wife?

Du Linsen looked at Shi Laoshi in a daze; how could he be more direct than the elders in his family?

"Grandpa Shi, you really know how to joke. This..."

"This young lady is the granddaughter-in-law your grandfather originally wanted to choose. Qin Yan, come over and greet your Brother Linsen." Shi Laoshi interrupted him, pointing at Qin Yan.

"..." Qin Yan was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole; she covered her face with her hand, but there was nowhere to hide.

She could only force a smile and greet Du Linsen, "Mr. Du, hello. My teacher is just joking with you; please don't take it seriously."

"Qin Yan? You are Grandpa Qin's granddaughter, little sister Xiaoyan." Du Linsen walked up to her in surprise, looking her up and down.

"I still remember when you were little, you were chubby and sturdier than my younger brother. I didn't expect you to grow up to be so beautiful." Du Linsen examined her, his eyes bright, and he asked with a smile, "Do you still remember when you took us up the mountain to play, and I was bitten by a snake? You carried me down the mountain and saved my life. My grandfather said he wanted to thank you and told me to offer myself to you in marriage."

"..." This was absolutely not true; he was spreading rumors!

Qin Yan took a step back in horror; she didn't even remember such a thing.

"Mr. Du, I don't remember anything from when I was little. Please don't say such misleading things." Qin Yan hurriedly explained.

"It's fine if you don't remember; I'll help you recall." Du Linsen looked at Qin Yan. The girl before him wore light makeup, her brows carried a heroic spirit, her eyes were dark and bright, her nose was straight and delicate, and her lips were rosy. She wasn't very old, and her chin still had some baby fat, which couldn't hide her cuteness.

Reminiscing about the fun times from their childhood, the more he looked at Qin Yan, the more interesting he found her.

He thanked Shi Laoshi, "Teacher, I am indeed lacking a wife. Great kindness needs no thanks; when I go back, I will discuss the marriage with my grandfather!"

Lu Qianchuan hadn't expected that one Gu He'an wasn't enough, and now another Du Linsen had appeared to fight him for his wife. His expression turned ugly, and he coldly reminded him, "You're bringing up things said when you were too young to know better? Mr. Du, have some shame!"

"Shame? One earns that for oneself." Du Linsen raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lu, I heard you are still single. Are you jealous that I have a wife?"

"..." Lu Qianchuan gritted his teeth, his masseter muscles tensed, and his cold, hard jawline became even sharper.

"Mr. Du, I didn't expect you to be such a frivolous and dissolute person, saying such immoral things to someone else's wife!" Gu He'an, unable to bear it any longer, said with cold sarcasm.

Du Linsen looked at Gu He'an in confusion. He hadn't provoked this person; had he eaten something foul to say such nasty things?

"Mr. Gu, who do you think you are to judge me?" Although Du Linsen wore a smile on his face, his eyes turned cold.

Gu He'an walked to Qin Yan's side, lifted his chin, and said, "Qin Yan is my wife, Mr. Du, so stop your wishful thinking!"

"..."

Lu Qianchuan, the real husband of Qin Yan, glanced at Gu He'an and drank his water in silence.

His wife said they were keeping the marriage hidden, so he could only endure it for now.

"..." Du Linsen was stunned.

He was Qin Yan's husband?

He looked at Shi Laoshi again, but wasn't Shi Laoshi introducing a partner to him?

Shi Laoshi met his gaze and felt a bit guilty; he coughed lightly, "They are separated, so isn't Qin Yan single? Hey, don't worry about such details."

"..."

Du Linsen didn't know whether to laugh or cry; such details were fatal!

However, he wasn't someone who compromised easily.

He glanced at Gu He'an's hand and asked, "Are you married? Why don't I see Mr. Gu wearing a wedding ring, and I haven't heard that Mr. Gu has a married status."

Gu He'an looked at his own hand and explained, "Because it hasn't been made public, I'm not wearing a wedding ring yet."

At this moment, Qin Yan let out a low laugh and asked with a puzzled tone, "Mr. Gu, you can't just say whatever you want. How can you prove that I am your wife?"

Gu He'an looked at her in astonishment; he hadn't expected her to side with an outsider to refute him.

"Qin Yan, don't joke around." He warned coldly.

Qin Yan looked innocent, "It's you who shouldn't joke around, Mr. Gu. You say I'm married to you; where is the proof?"

"..."

Gu He'an clenched his fists and narrowed his cold eyes; his fierce gaze made him want to grab her neck and make her shut up.

"Mr. Gu, you say you and she are husband and wife, so how come I, her teacher, know nothing about it? Don't try to pull a scam here." Shi Laoshi added fuel to the fire, staring at him coldly.

He had seen this kid before and had a decent impression of him.

He was upright, from a prestigious family, a graduate of a top university, and his social skills were decent. Most importantly, Qin Yan liked him.

He hadn't expected that when the Gu Corporation ran into trouble, this stinky kid not only failed to protect Qin Yan but even fired her, leaving her to be mocked by the entire internet.

His student had great ability, but just because she loved a man, she went to work at that lousy company and was bullied. How could he not feel heartbroken?

Gu He'an took a deep breath and explained, "Dean Shi, you might not know, but Qin Yan once saved my life. Afterward, we got engaged, and we only registered the marriage a few days ago. It's not that we didn't want to inform you, but Qin Yan wanted to keep a low profile, so we didn't make it public."

Du Linsen exclaimed, "What a coincidence! Qin Yan also saved my life. Previously, the elders in our families praised us and discussed a childhood engagement. If Grandpa Qin hadn't passed away so early, Qin Yan's name might have already been written in my household register. Mr. Gu, the reason you gave is useless; you need to produce evidence!"

"..." Gu He'an met his provocative gaze, his face full of hostility.

He knew he was deliberately stirring up trouble, but those two fake marriage certificates had long been locked away; how could he carry them with him? He looked at Qin Yan, "Qin Yan, don't you have one on you? Take it out and show your teacher."

Although she had previously made a fake marriage certificate, it should be enough to fool Shi Laoshi.

He also warned her with his eyes not to throw a tantrum again and embarrass him in front of so many people, especially in front of his rival, Lu Qianchuan.

Qin Yan met his gaze and couldn't help but think: if she really transferred the shares to him, would he show her any pity when he held his wedding with Lin Yan?

That probably wouldn't happen.

So why should she be generous to him?

She asked innocently, "Mr. Gu, don't talk nonsense. I don't have a marriage certificate with you on me."

She wasn't lying either.

She did have a marriage certificate.

But the name on the marriage certificate wasn't his.

Gu He'an's face turned blue and then black; he was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. He warned her in a low voice again, "How can you say such things on an occasion like this? Qin Yan, you are truly too ignorant."

Lu Qianchuan, who was drinking water and watching the show, touched the marriage certificate near his chest. Seeing Gu He'an's ugly expression, he even wanted to lend him his own marriage certificate to use.

He added another spark to the fire, saying, "It's normal not to carry the marriage certificate on you. Mr. Gu, you can check the official website of the Civil Affairs Bureau using the ID number; you'll be able to find it with one search."

Don't ask him how he knew, because he had checked.

His marriage certificate was his permit to know all of Qin Yan's information.

"..."

Gu He'an glared at him viciously, knowing he was deliberately here to watch him make a fool of himself.

If they searched the official website, the person truly married to him wouldn't be Qin Yan, which would be even more embarrassing!
