Chapter 149: His Engagement Party

Ji Yanli nodded: "Mm."

"Gu Tingyan and Chu Sheng are getting married."

This matter had originally been settled four years ago, but because of the incident with Qin Shu and the exposure of Chu Sheng as a mistress, the Chu Family and the Gu Family were pushed to the forefront of public scrutiny, and the marriage alliance was left unsettled.

Unexpectedly, four years later, the Gu Family and the Chu Family were planning a marriage alliance again.

The expression on Qin Shu's face was faint; four years ago, she might have felt heartbreak and been hurt by Gu Tingyan's heartlessness and cruelty.

But four years later, when Qin Shu heard that Gu Tingyan and Chu Sheng were getting married, her heart could no longer stir up the slightest ripple or wave.

Ji Yanli tightened his grip on the invitation sent over by the Chu Family, observing the expression on Qin Shu's face, his heart sinking slightly.

He spoke in a hoarse voice: "If he gets married, will you be sad?"

Qin Shu curled her lips into a smile: "No."

Qin Shu looked at Ji Yanli and said: "Who he marries has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Legally, he and I are already divorced."

Having signed that divorce agreement four years ago and left with it, Qin Shu still worried it might be a nuisance when she thought about it four years later.

She had even entrusted someone to check, and the Gu Family had already dissolved the marital relationship for Qin Shu and Gu Tingyan.

Therefore, Gu Tingyan was now just her ex-husband.

A person who had nothing to do with Qin Shu.

Hearing this, Ji Yanli was slightly startled; he looked up at Qin Shu. She had indeed let go of Gu Tingyan, and upon hearing the news of his marriage, she did not show even a hint of sadness.

The man's lips then curled up slightly, his mood becoming a bit more cheerful.

He held the invitation in his hand, his eyes carrying a hint of playfulness: "Chu Sheng's engagement party, are you going?"

The man's voice was low: "Huahua, it is time to make them pay back the injuries you suffered four years ago."

Qin Shu took the invitation and held it in her hand, her lips slightly curled as she raised her eyes to look at Ji Yanli: "I would be honored to be your partner."

Four years, she had finally returned.

If those people from the Chu Family and the Gu Family knew she wasn't dead and had returned with a different identity, she wondered what their expressions would be.

My dear father, you must be well-prepared tomorrow.

Qin Shu's fingers, as white as scallions, pinched the invitation, a wicked smile appearing on her lips.

This time, she would take back everything that belonged to her.

The Qin Family's assets had been in the hands of her scumbag father for too long.

The next day.

The Chu Family.

Red lanterns hung in the villa, the entire villa was filled with joy, and the glass windows were covered with red double-happiness couplets.

This engagement party was countless times more extravagant than when Qin Shu had married Gu Tingyan back then.

To give Chu Sheng a decent engagement party, Chu Xuanming had spared no expense, and the entire villa was decorated to look as dreamy as a castle.

Chu Sheng sat in her room, her palms sweating; the engagement party she had dreamed of was about to arrive.

Chu Sheng wore a red cheongsam, her makeup was exquisite, her hair was styled beautifully, and her lips were painted with a touch of red; she was excited and thrilled inside.

She hadn't expected that this day would finally come.

Today was her engagement party with Gu Tingyan, and the end of next month was the day they would get married.

Qin Shu was dead, and no one could ever be an obstacle between them again.

Chu Sheng watched as Chu Xuanming entered, a smile on her face: "Dad, has Tingyan arrived?"

Chu Xuanming looked at her, his face full of affection: "He is still at the Gu Family, but he is already on his way by car."

Chu Xuanming said happily: "The Gu Family gave a betrothal gift of 300 million."

When Qin Shu married Gu Tingyan, there hadn't been such a large betrothal gift, and Qin Shu hadn't even received that money; it had all gone into Chu Xuanming's pocket.

Comparing the two, the smile on Chu Sheng's face grew a bit wider.

Sure enough, as long as Qin Shu was dead, Gu Tingyan would still fall in love with her; it was just a matter of time.

The Gu Family.

Gu Yichen did not go to school today because his father was getting engaged today, and as his only son, Gu Yichen also had to be present.

Gu Yichen was taken upstairs by a servant to change into a crisp little suit, and he followed Gu Tingyan's car to the Chu Family.

Gu Yichen looked at the scenery outside the window and then at Gu Tingyan beside him: "Father, are you really going to get engaged to her?"

Gu Tingyan: "Mm."

Gu Yichen: "If Mom knew, she would definitely be sad."

Gu Tingyan's body paused slightly, his dark, deep eyes staring ahead, his face showing a hint of fearlessness, his voice cold: "If she were truly sad, she should come and claim my life."

For four whole years, Qin Shu probably resented him and hated him; in these four years, she had never once appeared in his dreams.

When Gu Tingyan mentioned this, his heart trembled with pain, feeling that this woman was too heartless.

If she hated him, she should have come to claim his life.

Instead of never entering his dreams for these four years.

Several cars arrived at the Chu Family.

Lu Ziqian and Jiang Xubai had both come today; four years ago, Jiang Xubai had a falling out with Gu Tingyan, and they hadn't associated with each other for four years.

Today was Chu Sheng and Gu Tingyan's engagement party, and he had come too.

Lu Ziqian got out of the car and walked straight toward Gu Tingyan; Jiang Xubai nodded at him, glanced at Gu Tingyan, said nothing, and walked into the Chu Family.

Lu Ziqian held a cigarette between his fingers, walked to Gu Tingyan's side, and seeing no one around, asked in a low voice: "Are you really planning to marry Chu Sheng?"

Lu Ziqian suddenly couldn't understand Gu Tingyan; he clearly didn't like this woman, so why did he have to marry her?

He had grown up with Gu Tingyan and didn't want to see him spend the rest of his life in regret.

Gu Tingyan spoke indifferently: "Mm."

He adjusted his suit cuffs with an expressionless face: "The invitations have all been sent out; it is too late to regret it now."

The Gu Family and the Chu Family are both people who care about their reputation; the engagement banquet is attended by big shots of Beijing with status and prestige, and they cannot afford to lose face.

They also would never allow Gu Tingyan to call off the engagement on the spot.

Lu Ziqian looked at his stubborn face and sighed; Qin Shu had been dead for four years, and he had no reason to speak against Gu Tingyan remarrying.

Lu Ziqian felt it was very necessary to remind him: "But Chu Sheng is not a good match."

Gu Tingyan raised his eyes to look at him: "I know."

Lu Ziqian paused, having nothing more to say.

He punched Gu Tingyan in the chest: "I wish you happiness."

After all this turning around, he never expected these two could still end up together.

It is truly a sin.

Lu Ziqian sighed deeply and lifted his foot to walk inside.

Gu Tingyan held Gu Yichen's hand and walked into the Chu Family villa, dressed in a crisp suit.

He went up to the second floor and handed a bank card containing a three-hundred-million dowry to Chu Xuanming.

Gu Tingyan took out a contract and handed it to Chu Xuanming: "This is half the shares of a scientific research company under my name, given to Sheng as a dowry."

"The equity is worth one billion."
